Chapter 197

"If you don't care about kindness, will your parents allow you to take away the fiancé of the daughter of
his best friend?"

Looking at Mrs. Fannie, Melissa's heart sank. It seemed that Mrs. Fannie planned to make her in
trouble. She tried to calm herself down and said, "It turns out that's why Mrs. Fannie comes to me
today."

"You always know that I want to talk to you, don't you?" Mrs. Fannie smiled elegantly and slowly put her
hands on her knees. Her right hand covered the platinum diamond ring on her left hand so as to
conceal the light of the ring, as well as the sparkling pearl. However, she was becoming more and more
restrained.

"I am telling you the truth today." Mrs. Fannie then slowly said, "I won't agree you to be with my son,
regardless of the likely appearance of you and Avril, in terms of your family background, you are never
worthy of being mentioned to Colin."

"Does Mrs. Fannie value my family background so much?" Downhearted as Melissa was, she tried her
best to keep calm.

Mrs. Fannie curled her lips into a disdainful smile and said, "That's right. In the Ling family, I have to
care about your family background so much." "Don't you know?"

"Then where does you come from?" Melissa snapped back.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fannie turned to her, with a gleam shining in her eyes. Then she squinted and
said in a cold and stern voice, "How dare you question my origin?"

In fact, Melissa was not afraid of her majesty. She asked calmly, "I mean, the reason why Mrs. Fannie
is able to climb from a commoner to your current position, why can't you believe in the commoners'



power?" "Some success doesn't rely on your wealth in your background, but on your ability and
intelligence, right?"

"What do you mean by that?" …… Are you trying to imitate me and help Colin? However…… ""Do you
have any requirements?"" Mrs. Fannie raised her eyebrows, and examined Melissa more carefully. An
ironic smile appeared on her lip. She was thinking that what a young girl! Did she really think everyone
can have good fortune just like her?"

Melissa said humbly with her eyes down, "I don't think I'm as good as Mrs. Fannie, but I don't want to
drag Colin down." "Besides, Mrs. Fannie of civilian birth has already proven that identity isn't very
important, right?"

"Humph!" Mrs. Fannie sneered and retorted what Melissa said, "I know the importance of family
background as I'm a civilian. Once you have some background, you will be able to struggle for ten
years less than others." Do you think I will choose one who have to struggle for ten years instead of a
girl with a ready-made background? Besides, are you smart enough to help Colin to deal with his
brothers and sisters? In the Ling family, having a background is equal to having half of the power. In the
competitive war, I have no time to invest in you, which is not yet mature like a fruit tree! "Otherwise, I'll
be the one to suffer. You will never know what I and Colin will suffer!"

"I don't know why Mrs. Fannie is so important about money. Even if you lose, Mr. Ling is your husband,
and he is Colin's father. Do you think that as a husband, he will bear to see his wife and children
suffer?" "Why do you care so much about the result? Isn't it tired for you to struggle with others all your
life? "

Mrs. Fannie slowly took a sip of tea and said, "A woman who has done nothing can't understand my
mood!" "What you think will make you nobody and you will never marry Colin!" My son needs someone
to help him, not someone like you who will slow him down! Besides, I don't understand one thing. You



swore that you wouldn't have an affair with Colin. Why did you forgive him and come back not for long?
"Don't you like my son's money?"

Melissa thought this was so ridiculous. Perhaps it was they are not harmonious and thoughts are not
harmonious. But she still said to Mrs. Fannie calmly, "Madam, maybe you will never understand this in
this life. In addition to money, there is another thing called love in this world!"

"Love?" Mrs. Fannie continued with a sneer, "You really love my son, not because you have tolerated
him?" Will you come back to him if he doesn't oppress you? If Colin has nothing, will you still be with
him? Do you really love him so much? "Do you love him so much that you can give up everything or
even overlook everything to be with him?"

Her words made Melissa speechless. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything. Did
she really love Colin? Would she come back to him if he didn't oppress her? If he lost everything, would
she still be willing to be with him desperately? Could they really be counted as love? Hearing that,
Melissa asked herself. At the same time, she was hesitant.

Mrs. Fannie sneered, "See? You and my son don't love each other. You were forced to be together. He
forced you to stay because he couldn't find a more attractive woman than you. There is pressure and
confusion between you. It's not voluntary to be together. Do you really think this is true love?" "Melissa,
do you really think it is worth to go against me for such a man who always oppresses you?"

Was it really worth it? Did she have to against Mrs. Fannie to be with Mrs. Fannie? Did she have to be
with Colin for losing everything? She will never regret? Did Colin really love her? Or would he satisfied
her?

"You are a sensible woman. You should know what to do if you know the situation. I don't want to use
any strong means to suppress you. It will be best if you can think it through. We can all good!" Mrs.
Fannie opened her hands, trying to show her generosity.



Melissa raised her head and said with her eyes showing stubbornness, "Mrs. Fannie, you have done a
good job in this. You almost fooled me."

Mrs. Fannie just smiled disdainfully, looked up and joked, "Melissa, if you were not hesitating in your
heart, do you think I could persuade you?" Now that you are not sure whether your love is right or not,
and there are so many obstacles in your future, why do you insist? Aren't you afraid that if you insist to
the end, you will hurt yourself and the people around you, but find that what you insist is all wrong?
"Are you really worth it?"

Again, Melissa kept silent. Although she wanted to resist Mrs. Fannie's words, she couldn't help but
doubt what she said.

Mrs. Fannie took another sip of tea and said, "You know, your parents attach great importance to the
friendship between Lin family and your parents. I've heard that your father's illness can be healed only
with the help of Austin. What will your parents think if you take away Miss Linn's fiancé?"

"You investigated me before!" Said Melissa in a cold voice. It turned out Mrs. Fannie knows that she
asked her grandpa to let Austin give a help. Obviously, she knows a lot about her family. Did she give
the information about her relationship with Colin to her parents?

Mrs. Fannie just smiled casually, "Does it matter whether I investigate you or not?" "Shouldn't Melissa
ask your parents about their reaction after knowing this?"

Frowning, Melissa didn't answer.

Mrs. Fannie continued, "For a man you are not sure whether you love him or not, and don't know if he
really loves you, would you rather hurt your parents' hearts?"

Melissa almost lost her mind under Mrs. Fannie's temptation. She was considering whether she was
doing the right thing and should such things for Colin? Was it worth it? Was it worth it? Didn't she



always want to leave him? Would she follow him wholeheartedly after being moved by him for a
moment?

Just when Melissa was hesitating, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open. Melissa
was shocked, and Mrs. Fannie was also stunned. They turned around and saw Colin going in
aggressively.

It seemed that Colin had come in time, so he scurried to her with an indignant face. He approached
Mrs. Fannie and asked coldly, "What do you want from her?"

For the arrival of her son, Mrs. Fannie was not alarmed. Instead, she leaned back on the leather chair
and said lazily, "You came so fast. It seems that you have arranged many people around me." With a
satirical smile on the corner of her mouth and a glint of sharpness in her eyes, she thought that it
seems that she had to sort out the people around me soon.

Instead of answering her question, Colin asked, "Why did you ask for Melissa?"

"Don't you know why I look for her?" Mrs. Fannie smiled lazily.

Colin turned his head, held Melissa's hand and asked, "What did she say to you?"

Melissa lowered her head and shook her head, "Nothing."

Mrs. Fannie replied, "I didn't mean to offend her. I just wanted to know whether she liked my son or not.
Was she really willing to offend her parents because of you?" "Is it worth it?"

Mrs. Fannie was frank and honest. Hearing her words, Melissa felt a little nervous. Colin glanced at
Melissa, then squinted at Mrs. Fannie.



Mrs. Fannie unfolded her palm and said, "It turned out that Melissa hesitated. She wasn't sure if she
really loved you. After all, you two were not willing to be together, but were forced. Don't you think it
was ridiculous?"

Melissa's heart grew heavy. She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the depressed feeling.

Colin held her hand tightly and closed his mouth as if he was angry at what Mrs. Fannie said, but he
only ordered Melissa coldly, "Just get out, Melissa. I have something to tell her."

Melissa didn't resist. She nodded and went out. However, when she walked out of the room, she felt
even more depressed. She took a deep breath, but it was still difficult to resist the depression.

Her hesitation was finally evident. And Colin found it. In fact, she was not sure whether they would
have a future or not. Besides, she was uncertain about it after being questioned by Mrs. Fannie today.
Was it really necessary for her to stick to it like this? Especially when she ran into Miss Linn, the
daughter of her father's best friend.

Just as she was thinking about that, she ran into Linn who was walking to her. With a smile on her face,
Linn said, "What are you thinking about here, Melissa?" "Why don't you come in?"
