Chapter 499: Mr. Fairchild, I’ve Tolerated You for Long Enough
"Tell me who bullied you. I’ll take care of her for you."
"I want you to help me investigate someone."
"That’s easy! Who is it?"
"Melody Monroe."
"Melody Monroe? Why do you want to investigate her? Don’t you know? Her connections are too powerful. No one in the entertainment industry dares to dig up dirt on her."
Although he wasn’t in the entertainment industry himself, Lionel Warren often took on commissions from people within it, investigating things and handing the information over to his clients. He knew the lay of the land.
Yasmine Scott had known Melody Monroe since before college, so Lionel Warren had no idea the two were acquainted.
"If you’re looking for dirt, there’s plenty of material on other celebrities. Just leave Melody Monroe alone."
"I’m not investigating Melody Monroe for dirt. This is personal. She has a child born out of wedlock, and I want you to find that child."
"Melody Monroe has an illegitimate child? What does that have to do with you?"
"Stop asking so many questions! Are you going to help me or not?"
"Tell me what your goal is."
"I want to see Melody Monroe’s reputation utterly destroyed!" Yasmine Scott declared, standing up to leave. "If you won’t help me, fine. I can find someone else."
Lionel Warren grabbed Yasmine Scott’s hand and pulled her back, making her sit beside him.
"Did I say I wouldn’t help you? It breaks my heart to see you so upset. Investigating Melody Monroe has to be done very carefully. I’ll do it for you."
"Thank you, Lionel. How much will it cost? I’ll pay you."
"No need. We’re not strangers, are we? Come on, let’s go somewhere else. I’ll treat you to dinner."
"Okay!"
Yasmine Scott nodded happily.
She only had a little bit of information on hand.
Photos of Melody Monroe when she was pregnant, and the records from her prenatal check-ups at the hospital.
There had been so much more, but she’d destroyed it herself in a fit of anger. Now, she regretted it terribly.
’If only I had kept all of it.’
That’s why she had to investigate Melody Monroe further.
’I just don’t know where the child is now. Surely Melody wouldn’t have just abandoned her own child, would she?’
Melody had given birth to that child purely to blackmail Yasmine’s father.
Then it turned out the child wasn’t her father’s. The laughable part was, Melody herself didn’t even know who the father was! ’What a total slut!’
Whether Melody was raising the child or not, Yasmine had to find out where that illegitimate child was.
Melody Monroe had caused her family so much harm, yet she was thriving. Yasmine would never let her get away with it!
Judging by the momentum Melody Monroe had this year, she was probably aiming for the Best Newcomer award.
A cold smile touched Yasmine Scott’s lips.
’In that case, there’s going to be quite a show.’
...
The weather was gloomy. After a light rain, the temperature had dropped a few more degrees.
Ian Monroe stood at the door, holding Bunny, his suitcase beside him.
Evan Fairchild stood in the doorway, looking at the boy and the pig. He didn’t want them to stay a second longer.
Melody Monroe was filming for over seven hours a day on average. When she got back, she had to study, and at night she was so exhausted she’d pass out the moment her head hit the pillow. Any free time she did have, she devoted to Ian Monroe and that pig.
He’d gradually realized he’d been relegated to the role of cook. Making meals for Ian Monroe was one thing, but he even had to boil potatoes for the pig!
And to top it off, Ian Monroe even had the nerve to complain that his cooking wasn’t good!
Tommy had already opened the car door and had been waiting for a long, long time. Every time the big boss and the little boss had a standoff like this, he was caught in the middle, not knowing what to do.
"Can I stay? I can study here in Jansburg, just like in Rockwellburg," Ian Monroe finally couldn’t hold it in any longer.
