After saying that, Melanie's face darkened. She turned around and was about to leave.
Seeing this, Zoila grabbed her arm right away. Zoila squeezed out a smile, and persuaded her, "Melanie, since you're here, just go in and have a seat!"
At this moment, Fade couldn't help feeling curious, he peeked inside.
There were around eight young men and women in their mid-twenties, sitting on the sofas in the private room. On the table in the middle, there were all kinds of cigarettes and wine.
The people were chatting with one another, seemingly enjoying themselves. It was completely different from what Zoila had described on the phone. No wonder Melanie's face darkened when she took a glance.
Zoila seemed to feel that she misunderstood the situation. She pulled Melanie and persuaded, "Melanie, I contacted Harrison. But Young Master Yue happened to be with Master Zhu and Miss Huang, so they came together."
"You did?" Melanie's face was doubtful.
What a lousy excuse! How could there be such a coincidence? Just when Melanie needed his help, Harrison, who was Graham's son and the eldest son of the family, happened to be mingling with these rich heirs of Westamor District?
Now that Melanie thought about it carefully, she knew that the whole thing was probably a fagade, in order to deceive her into coming over and meet Harrison and the others.
Thinking of this, Melanie couldn't help looking at Zoila. Melanie immediately questioned her, "Tell me, Zoila, my mother was not taken by the Yue family, was she?"
Zoila's expression changed and she stuttered. She did not know what to say.
In the private room, a man in his late 20s sitting in the main seat said with a smile, "Miss Yu, this has nothing to do with Miss Zoila. I asked for her help to bring you here."
Zoila nodded and said, "Melanie, it's Young Master Yue who asked me to help. You and he would be family in two days. It's good for you to get together and get familiar with each other in advance."
Melanie's expression darkened as she heard Zoila's words. She glared at Zoila and said, "If you want to get familiar with him, you can do it. I'm not interested."
With this, Melanie glanced at Fade and grabbed Fade's arm. She turned around to leave.
At the same time, she said, "Fade, my mother is fine. I was tricked. I was so anxious that I didn't think about it carefully. This lie is covered with loopholes. It's impossible for the Yue family to capture my mother, and that's useless anyway!"
Fade nodded and said, "Let's go."
Zoila was anxious as she spent so much effort bringing Melanie over. She rushed over and grabbed Melanie's arm, saying, "Melanie, since you're here, it doesn't matter to hang out here for a bit. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Melanie said firmly, "I don't want to sit with them."
Melanie immediately shook off Zoila's hand, walking away.
But at this moment, Zoila, who was behind her, suddenly knelt down on the ground and cried to Melanie, "Melanie, please don't leave. If you leave, I'm doomed. Please, save me!"
Hearing this, Melanie grew angry but surprised at the same time. She stopped and turned around.
