Chapter 237 (Part One)

It was not until then that Melissa realized that she had really done something wrong this time. She
shouldn't have come here alone with Colin. It was obvious that her arrival had caused a greater
sensation to the Ling family, and also to Mrs. Fannie.

She looked so much like Avril. Although she didn't know what kind of treatment Colin and Avril had
received in the Ling family in the past, she was indeed rejected from everyone's reaction. But she still
came here foolishly to let everyone see the jokes of Colin and Mrs. Fannie. She hadn't thought so
much before. She had planned to avoid a conflict between Colin and Mrs. Fannie, but now the result
was the opposite.

"It's not the time to argue about Avril. Is it the time to argue about my relationship with her?" Colin
answered coldly, still holding her hand tightly and firmly.

The people around snickered even more, and even the brothers and sisters of the same generation as
Colin whispered. Both men and women showed a mocking expression on their faces.

Caleb suddenly sneered, "Do you have to do this for a woman?" "You haven't made any progress for
so many years!"

Colin's half-sister, also the eldest daughter of the first lady, crossed her arms and said proudly, "Uncle,
you don't know. He is infatuated with someone. He doesn't care about the person's background, as
long as he likes, he will be loyal to her to the end!"

Hearing that, Caleb sneered with disdain. But he suddenly felt that he was very proud of himself. Look
at the woman he didn't like being treated like this by Colin. She had been dead for so many years, but
he still wanted to find a substitute. Although the two of them were disgraced, he was more proud than
Colin.



Seeing that everyone ridiculed her son like this, Fannie hated Melissa even more. She suddenly got
angry and said to the bodyguards, "Take this woman away. This is not the place she should come!"

"No one is allowed to move. I bring her here and I don't need your permission!" Staring at the
bodyguards coldly, Colin said to Fannie fiercely, "If you dare to hurt her, I will never let you get what you
want!"

"Colin, whose son are you?" Fannie said angrily.

Then Melissa pulled Colin's arm and said, "How about I go out first? You can come to me when you
come out."

"You can't go anywhere!" Colin held her hand tightly and said sincerely, "Who said that no matter how
stressed you were, you wouldn't leave me?" Now that you're here, just face it with me. There's nothing
to be afraid of. You just want to be with me."

"But……"

"Don't you take your words seriously?" Colin looked at her with a frown.

All of a sudden, Melissa fell silent. Colin smoothed her hair and said, "Melissa, I remember what you
said clearly all the time. Since you said that you would be with me, I will try my best to live up to your
expectations!" "So don't shrink back and don't let me down."

Melissa didn't know what to say. When she met his eager eyes, she could only admit it in silence. No
matter how much pressure she had to face, she believed him. Just do as he said, and there was no
need to care about other people's opinions. So she nodded in the end.

"Wow, it's so romantic!" "I'm so excited that I'm crying!" The woman sneered again.



"Yes, why don't I have such a beautiful love?" Another young man who was probably Colin's brother
also said, and the elder sister echoed.

On the other hand, his youngest uncle, Caleb, sneered. He couldn't get used to the intimacy between
Colin and Melissa. That woman looked so much like Avril. At that time, Avril hated Colin so much, but
Caleb didn't expect that Melissa would stick to Colin so much, which would make him feel that he had
lost. Avril fell in love with Colin again, so Caleb was very uncomfortable.

Ignoring the ridicule of the crowd, Colin held Melissa's hand and said, "I don't care what you think, but
you can't interfere with my freedom of marriage. She is not Avril. You don't have to treat her in the
same way as you treat Avril." "I brought her here today to prove that I only accept her as my fiancée.
Whether you agree or not, I will only accept her as Colin fiancée for the rest of my life!"

The woman took the lead in applauding, and the others also clapped their hands symbolically. It
seemed that they were celebrating, but in their hearts, they had already mocked them all.

Ignoring their gazes, Colin held the hand of Melissa and said, "You don't have to be afraid of them. I
just announce to our family that you are my fiancée and give you a clear identity. As for whether they
agree or not, we don't care. As long as I am sure of your identity, it's enough."

"Well, I don't care." Melissa looked up at him and answered affectionately. Since she made up her mind
to be with him and never separated from him, she didn't care about other people's opinions.

Fannie looked at them and suddenly shook her head. She gritted her teeth and said, "They are really
crazy. They are a group of madmen!" Then she ordered, "Colin, take this woman out. If you have to be
with her today, don't enter this door!"

"Fine, fine. I don't want to come in either!" Colin sneered. But when he dealt with Fannie, he didn't
forget to deal with the people who wanted him to turn against Fannie. Instead, he glanced at them and



said coldly, "But isn't Gilbert seriously ill?" "Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people coming back
today. Look at these people who came back from the UK, the United States, Milan, France, and even
all over the world. You all have many lawyers in your hands. But have you forgotten that I am the first
heir of the Ling family in order?"
