Chapter 239 (Part One)

The expression on Colin's face froze in an instant, and then turned cold. He glanced at Melissa and
turned to Larry Liu, "What's wrong with him?"

Since Gilbert had a bad relationship with Colin, he seldom talked to him. Even if he really talked to him,
he would scold him. When he was a child, he always stayed away from him because he resisted his
father's authority. In the end, he didn't even have dinner with him. He even moved out after college.

The four ladies of Gilbert had 7 sons in total. Colin was the youngest and also the one he hated most.
What Gilbert loved the most was the eldest son of his second wife, who was very important to him. But
today, when Colin looked around, he found that the eldest son of the second wife was not present, and
why did Gilbert want to talk with him alone?

"You can tell him that I don't have time. He can arrange it as he likes. There is no need to talk to me.
And I don't think he has anything to say to me." Colin refused Larry Liu's request directly.

Then Melissa pulled his hand and said, "Don't do this, Colin. He's your father!"

"Dad?" "Except for this title, I don't think he resembles my father at all. He is even worse than a
stranger. The driver at home is closer to me than him." Colin sneered. His father had been indifferent to
him since he was a child so that he had little feeling about her father. So he couldn't understand filial
piety.

Larry Liu felt ashamed. He had been working for boss for many years, and he knew that Colin was the
most troublesome thing for boss. He also knew that Colin hated his father the most, but he was just an
errand man to deliver orders. If Colin didn't agree, it would be difficult for him, so he bowed his head
and pleaded, "Colin, I'm just a servant. I'll do whatever boss asks me to do. If you have something to
say, you'd better go back and tell your father!" "Otherwise, I don't know how to explain it to boss. Colin,
please don't make things difficult for me!"



"Let's go back and have a look!" Then Melissa thought for a while and added, "I'll wait for you at the
gate of the hospital."

Colin kept silent. After thinking for a while, he suddenly answered, "Okay, I'll go back with you to see
him, but my fiancée must go with me!"

Larry Liu was shocked all of a sudden, because the fiancée of Colin was exactly Melissa. Was it
appropriate to let her go there?

With her eyes wide open, Melissa said, "Colin, are you crazy!" "How can I go with you? Your father will
be angrier if he sees me. Look at the expression on their faces when they see me just now……"

Melissa was referring to the matter of Avril. When they first entered the bamboo forest, the members of
the Ling family had caused a sensation. Even Colin's uncle, Caleb, had jumped out and pointed at her
and called her Avril. It could be seen that Avril had caused a great sensation in the Ling family. With
such a face, she had walked into the house with Colin hand in hand to see his father. Wasn't that to
stimulate his father? Melissa didn't think it was appropriate, so she didn't agree.

However, Colin Ling said domineeringly, "There's nothing you can't do. You don't have to care about
their opinions, because I don't care about them at all. As for Gilbert, he is my father. I will let him see
my fiancée. Whether he agrees or not, I will tell him that you are my fiancée. If he dares to stop me, I
will fight against him to the end. He can't stop me from doing what I want to do."

"You……" "How could you……" Melissa disagreed.

Larry Liu was also hard to say, "Colin, it's not appropriate. Boss didn't say he wanted to see Melissa.
He only said he wanted to see you."

"You are just a servant. Who I take to see him is none of your business!" "Gilbert can't stop me from
doing anything. Larry Liu, you'd better leave it alone."



"Well……" Larry Liu didn't retort.

Melissa also protested, "It's really not appropriate, Colin!"

"That's enough!" Colin turned around and gave her a comforting smile. Then he held her hand tightly
and said, "It's time to announce your identity to others. I want to give you a status. You are my fiancée,
and no one else can think of you."

Melissa wanted to say something more, but Colin put his index finger against her mouth in the silent
posture. Then he comforted her, "Just listen to me!" "You should trust me!"

Stunned, Melissa finally stopped talking and slowly suppressed her doubts and worries. Since he had
said so, it was not appropriate for her to resist. And how could she distrust this man? She would
support him in all aspects if he had any arrangement, so she silently agreed in the end.

With a satisfied smile, Colin asked Larry Liu to lead the way, and then he held the hand of Melissa and
walked back.

Everyone in the bamboo forest knew that the first person Gilbert saw after he woke up was Colin, and
he only saw his son alone. For a moment, everyone's eyes were different. They stared at him with
burning eyes and guessed what was on Gilbert's mind.

Ignoring those people, Colin walked forward hand in hand with Melissa. Although he didn't show an
arrogant posture, his behavior was as arrogant as ever. He ignored everyone's eyes and guesses. He
only did his own thing.

Following him, Melissa felt a little uneasy. The members of the Ling group and Colin's father had all
become mysterious and unpredictable. She felt that there was a black hole in front of her, and she



could not find out the truth. And she had to move forward, no matter how dark and dangerous it was, so
she was more nervous. She could only tightly hold Colin's hand, and could only rely on him now.

When Melissa raised her head, she suddenly found that Fannie was standing in the other side of the
bamboo forest and looking at them from a distance. Behind her was her personal secretary, Miss Yang.
Her silence made Melissa even more terrified.

It was late at night. All the street lamps in the shape of palace lamps in the yard were lit up, but in order
to set off the ancient melody, even if all the lights were lit up, the whole yard was still very dim and
quiet. The bamboo leaves swayed and made the sound of "whoosh", making the whole yard suddenly
quiet.
