Chapter 1112 - 1114: Tactics for Dealing with Persistent Pursuers

"What about the antidote? Is there no antidote?"

"There’s none currently, and even if there was, you’d have to rely on your own willpower to control it."

Melody Thorne: "... Are you saying there’s no hope for me?"

"There is, you won’t be without hope," Elias emphatically said, though he didn’t tell Melody how he could be so sure!

"Oh."

"Knock knock," the door to the room was knocked.

"Come in!"

Selina Sloan came in from outside, carrying many paintings in her arms, all of which Elias Hale had ordered from the Thorne Group’s studio, requesting them to be delivered once completed.

"Selina."

"Melody, you’re here too," Selina Sloan’s face, which hadn’t smiled for a long time, suddenly lit up with a smile.

Elias Hale watched, somewhat mesmerized, openly staring; Selina Sloan once loved to smile the most, but such a smile aimed at him was missing. It had been a long time since he’d seen her smile like that!

"I have some things to attend to, so I’m leaving first, bye," Melody Thorne gave Elias Hale a meaningful look, hinting for him to do well.

Melody Thorne left the room, and Selina Sloan placed the paintings she was holding onto a table in front, gradually suppressing the smile on her face until it disappeared safely.

"Mr. Hale, I’ve delivered your paintings. I’m now an employee at the Thorne Group’s studio. However many paintings you want, I’ll paint them, but I also hope you won’t engage in these useless things in the future. What can’t go back will ultimately remain that way!"

Elias Hale was accustomed to her attitude, reached out to hold her hand, "Your smile is still as beautiful as before. I won’t force you into anything. Having me around means you can smile more often. Do what you like, only when you’re happy, like just now."

"Does Mr. Hale think I’d be happier if I took off the mask now?" Selina Sloan’s face carried a sarcastic smile.

"Selina..."

"Let go."

Upon exiting Elias Hale’s apartment, Melody Thorne was immediately surrounded by a crowd of black-clad bodyguards!

She rubbed her brow; she’d given Caleb some time off recently. Looks like she has to find him again, otherwise, what would she do with Ethan Knight always clinging to her like a woman?

"What are you up to again?" Melody Thorne stormed into the top floor of a hotel, confronting Ethan Knight lounging half-naked, seductively and lazily leaning back at a long rectangular table.

"Don’t tell me you want to pull off some male seduction right now!"

"What if I am?" Ethan Knight casually directed his gaze at her.

No wonder Jared Quinn would indulge this woman so much, she’s quite fascinating; if it were him, he’d indulge her too!

Melody Thorne picked up a glass of wine, leaned forward slightly, and squinted her beautiful eyes, "Do you know the way to deal with persistent men and women?"

"What do you mean?" Ethan Knight raised himself, edging slightly closer to her.

"Like this!" Melody Thorne splashed the wine from her hand!

"Mr. Knight!" The bodyguards tried to intervene but it was too late.

The entire glass of wine spilled onto Ethan Knight, trickling down his face, more beautiful than a woman’s, drop by drop!

Ethan Knight froze for a few seconds, wiping his face with his large hand, his red lips turning even more devilish!

"Ha," Ethan Knight laughed a few times, stood up, and grabbed a towel nearby; Melody Thorne was definitely the most audacious woman he’d ever met, bar none!

"Mr. Knight, I’ll throw her downstairs right away!" the bodyguards angrily spoke up.
