Chapter 180 Same Draft

Now, Jonas had the bravery that Melinda had when she chased him in the past. Even if he was
rejected again and again, he would not give up.

In Queena's words, the heart of Jonas to chase Melinda could be seen by heaven and earth.

All mothers knew their children well. Seeing that Jonas hadn't made any progress yet, Queena frowned
all day long. She felt bad when Jonas got home and hid in the villa where he lived with Melinda.

It was getting warm, Melinda wore a light yellow dress with her hair up, showing her elegant neck, and
carrying a small square bag on her back, as if she were ten years younger. Queena saw her from a
distance, waving at her gently.

"Hi, Aunt Yao."

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Melinda looked at the elegant lady in front of her. Her hair was
still arranged into a knot, and she wore a suit of jade jewelry, which made her even more dignified.

"I'm sorry. Something came up. I'm late." Melinda felt embarrassed that she made the elder wait for her.
Placing her hand on her square bag, she was at a loss.

Of course, Queena wouldn't bother about it. She comforted her, "I know you are busy, and I still want to
see you. It's mommy who is not considerate of you. But I miss you so much after not seeing you for a
long time. Linda, will you blame me for that?"

"No, of course not." Melinda shook her head in a hurry. She hadn't noticed that Queena just said she
was her mommy.

Queena ordered a lot of desserts, sweet but not too sweet, served with the tea here and enjoyed them
very much. Recently, Melinda was busy with the work of the conference, and she didn't eat anything in
the noon, so she ate a lot.



"Linda, are you still blaming Jonas?" Queena had tried several times to talk with Melinda, but she
always changed the topic in a calm manner. At this time, Queena had no choice but to speak out her
purpose in her heart.

Hearing that, Melinda stopped eating. She simply put the food back on the small plate, took a sip of tea
and moistened her throat before saying, "Aunt Yao, I'm very good now, and I don't have so much time
to think about what happened before."

In fact, she didn't know if she still blamed Jonas. She just felt that she was good now. But she didn't
ignore it that every time she saw Jonas, she would be tempted in a slight way.

As time went by, she didn't know how to face Jonas. Therefore, the last thing she wanted to do was to
escape.

"Jonas is not good at expressing his feelings. Actually, he has been using the way of torturing himself
to regret. Linda, I feel bad when seeing him like that." Queena's depressed emotion was revealed in
front of Melinda.

"He was not convinced by what happened in the past, so he tried to prove it to us in such an awkward
way. He even ignored the fact that he had already fallen in love with you. This time, if it were not for his
help, Kent wouldn't have dealt with it in such a short time, but he didn't say anything.

He used to be an arrogant man. Now he knew how to do things in silence. What's more..." Queena
spoke out a lot of things in her heart. There were so many things that Jonas couldn't speak out, but she
told them to Melinda as usual.

"Linda, will you blame mommy for that?" Queena paid attention to her expression. She had been there
before, so she knew a lot of things. Obviously, Melinda was moved by these words.

"Aunt Yao, he and I have divorced."



It was not until now that Melinda noticed Queena regard herself as her mommy. Melinda said
sheepishly, but what Queena said about Jonas was still in her mind. She murmured Jonas's name in
her heart, which made her softer miraculously.

"It's the same." Queena smiled in a gentle manner, leaving a trace of embarrassment on Melinda's
face. She couldn't argue this with Queena.

Queena knew Melinda's temper, so she said goodbye when it's time.

After watching Queena leave, Melinda also quickly returned to the company. It was a writers
conference in two days, which was very important to her.

In the busy work, the writers conference was going to be held. Obviously, the company paid much
attention to this conference, which was arranged in the best five-star hotel in A City, and the host was
also one of the best in the industry.

The atmosphere had reached a climax when Melinda entered the hall, and the humored words made
her relaxed unconsciously.

"Mellie." The voice of Kent came through. Hearing that, Melinda looked to the direction where the
sound came from. Kent wore a wine red suit today, who looked very different from his usual image.

Melinda looked at him curiously and made Kent a little embarrassed.

"Very handsome," Melinda said with a smile. "The stylist has a unique taste," added Kent.

Actually, Kent meant the suit was weird. Fortunately, Kent fitted in this suit.

On the contrary, the stylist had selected a tawny color long dress for Melinda, set off her fair skin, and
the camellia design on the dress had a hint of classical charm.



The clamorous hall was soon crowded with the celebrities in literature field. Most of them had only be
heard about the names from the Internet by Melinda.

"Mellie." While listening to the speech made by the writer, Kent looked a little confused. Melinda didn't
notice that but looked at him with her bright eyes, as if she was asking why he suddenly called her
name.

"Where is your speech?"

"It's already handed in. Aren't you gonna review it?" For the presentation in the writers conference, the
writers should write the speeches by themselves and handed them over for review. When the
presentation was ready, they could get the draft.

After that, Melinda wore a long face. It was normal that some writers' speeches were a little similar, but
the situation that the whole speech was all the same had never happened before.

Before that, Melinda had made the speech. Obviously, many people around also noticed this. The
chatter spread, and they even covered the voice of the writer who was doing the presentation.

"I'm sorry. Even though I know this is the same draft, I still read it out. To be honest, I've been preparing
it for a long time. I can't give it up now. This is the most respected way for the conference."

The statement of Sandy Zhang was creative. She told everyone that she was the owner of this draft
and criticized Melinda for disgracing the presentation that she even copied someone else's draft.

Melinda hadn't gotten popular until this year, but this Sandy had been in this circle for many years. She
was aggressive and Melinda hadn't got any chance to explain for herself.

"I really don't know how this person came to the conference. Did the sponsor send the invitation by
mistake?" a writer looked at Melinda with contempt and said without hesitation.



There were high requirements for the conference. In addition to the capacity, it also needed to be
approved by the company.

"She even copied the draft. She must have pieced together her articles," someone else echoed, which
was even more vicious. He denied everything that Melinda had.

"Pieced together", a very meaningful word, was taunting Melinda, who was a plagiarist of many
people's works.

"Who knows?"

The conference was going on, but Melinda felt very uncomfortable. When those people passed her,
they would even roll their eyes at her. It was as if it was very disgraceful to stand beside her.

Melinda didn't know how she held on to go back home until the meeting was over. She just felt her
head was in a mess and it was buzzing because of the criticism of those people.

She didn't know what went wrong, but she was sure that the draft was written by herself and she had
prepared it with all her heart. Why it ended up like this?

This matter quickly spread in the literary circle. In one night, everyone seemed to know that the drafts
of Melinda and Sandy were identical.

Moreover, it was said that Sandy was angry with Melinda since she was the plagiarist.

The next day, Melinda came to the company with heavy dark circles, only to find that her colleagues, in
twos and threes, quickly avoided her.

All of a sudden, she became a plague in the company, and everyone avoided her.



When she returned to the office, her former enthusiastic colleagues disappeared. Everyone looked at
her with a skeptical look.

"Ah, how did she get the nerve to go to work today?"

"Who knows? But I heard that the company began to inspect her previous draft. They are worried
about the same thing will happen again as yesterday. I don't know who she copied."

"Is it so serious? Don't ruin the image of the whole company because of this shit."

They said the details in a sure way. Sitting on her chair, Melinda opened the computer as usual. The
computer was mostly encrypted with all kinds of documents.

She opened a piece of blank paper, but she didn't put her fingers on the keyboard. Melinda looked
down at her hands and found that they were shaking at this time.

"She is just a woman who only knows how to please the superior. She is shameless, how could she be
calm to sit there? I really feel sorry for those who are really capable of literary ability."

This person always didn't get along well with Melinda. Now that Melinda was in trouble, she was the
happiest one.

Just because of this, the company was as noisy as a market. Melinda, like an outsider, saw all this. For
a moment, she could not figure out what it felt like.

The message box at the lower right corner was flashing. Melinda clicked it and found that it was from
Victor.

"Don't take it to heart. I believe you."



Victor believed that he was the most qualified one to tell Melinda's competence. Though it was just a
few words, it relieved Melinda's heavy heart a lot.

Dozens of people's doubts might be able to crush a person, but as long as there was a person's trust, it
could help one regain confidence.

Right, she achieved her current status on her own. Those people were just jealous of her excellence,
so they slandered her.

Melinda kept telling herself something like that. Only by doing so could she restrain her indignation in
her heart.
