The woman raised her lips, "You’re overthinking it."
Melody Thorne didn’t like dealing with women who were not straightforward, so she went downstairs and left with Jared Quinn.
For three consecutive days, she didn’t go to the company, staying by Jared Quinn’s side and watching him handle matters related to the Quinn Corporation.
Old Mr. Quinn had already received news that Titus Quinn might come back soon. He instructed Jared Quinn to deal with the company’s issues properly. With Caleb involved, the old man was somewhat vexed, this layer of relationship giving him a headache,
fearing that once Titus Quinn knows he is a child of the Adler Family, he would retaliate against the Quinn Family.
"I’m going down to buy some sweets," Melody Thorne put her feet off the sofa and tossed the magazine in her hand aside.
"Aren’t you afraid of being mobbed?" Jared Quinn looked up and glanced at her.
Now, many reporters and investors were scrambling to meet Melody Thorne, and she had reached a point of being fiercely competed over by major endorsement firms and the film industry.
"I’ll wear a mask and be back soon, okay?" Melody Thorne smiled ingratiatingly.
She had already thought ahead that her belly would get bigger, so after some time she would announce going abroad on a honeymoon with Jared Quinn. By the time she returned, the child would have already been born, and no one would know she had a child. She would still be the celebrity everyone adored.
After exiting the elevator, Melody Thorne put on her mask, went to a sweets shop, selected three or four items, paid, and walked out.
Suddenly, a pair of large hands covered her mouth, pulling her whole body backward.
Melody Thorne’s heart thudded, and she opened her mouth to bite the person’s large hand.
The taste of blood filled her nose.
The person behind seemed to be seriously injured, letting out a muffled groan and collapsing to the ground.
Melody Thorne turned to use the silver needles Leon Rivers gave her to jab the man behind her, but when she saw his face, she was suddenly a bit dazed.
This face was very familiar, so familiar it reached into her bones.
In the past life, because Ivy kept acting against her, nearly taking her life several times, it was him who saved her on those occasions.
In the past life, he never disclosed his name, only saying it was on a whim.
Now Ivy was long dead, she had reconciled with Jared Quinn, she could protect herself, so she hadn’t been hurt again, thinking she wouldn’t meet her savior from her past life again. She didn’t expect to encounter him now.
"Are you injured?" Melody Thorne squatted down, observing his abdomen, which was bleeding.
"Don’t move!" The man’s hand clamped her arm, eyes revealing wariness.
Having been saved by him in her past life, Melody Thorne felt no fear and took a step forward, "Didn’t you just pull me here to save you?"
Elias Hale squinted at her, seeing no fear in her eyes, and unconsciously loosened his grip. He was on the verge of passing out, it felt like gambling to trust a stranger woman.
"Help me treat the wound," Elias Hale tossed her a small bottle of medicine.
Melody Thorne had completely forgotten about her earlier commitment to return soon to Jared Quinn. She lifted the man’s waist and exposed his knife wound, clearly inflicted by someone.
Obviously, he was being pursued.
Melody Thorne simply bandaged him up, and when she looked up again, Elias Hale had already fainted,
while at the Quinn Corporation, Simon Sutton had turned everything upside down looking for her.
