I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 10 Caught Red—Handed Melanie concealed the hostility in her eyes and pretended to ask, “What happened? Why are you guys here?” “I came here to wake you up! Today is your engagement ceremony. You need to wake up early to get your makeup done!”

Lily squeezed past her as she rushed into her room. Her eyes darted around before fixing her gaze on the huge bed in her room. There

were some messy clothes on her bed, and the blanket appeared puffed up.

“Come on. Let's clean this place up. The makeup artist will be here very soon,” Lily walked toward the bed as she spoke. Seeing this, Melanie followed closely behind her. “I'll do it myself.”

“Let me help you!”

How could Lily give up this opportunity to expose her? She rushed to the bedside and lifted the blanket from the bed without hesitation!

Melanie’s blanket was thrown to the floor. However, when Lily saw her bed, she was shocked. The bed was clean. There was no man on Melanie's bed.

Lily hunched up her shoulders and glanced at Daniel, who was also doubtful like her. ‘Didn't Lena say a man was in her room? Where's the

man?’

“| can clean up my room myself. You should save some of your energy to help your daughter clean up her room.” Melanie picked up the

blanket from the floor as she sneered.

Lily had not figured out the meaning behind her words. She was busy talking to Daniel, “Why is Lena still not up yet? Something’s wrong. Let me look for her.”

Hearing this, Daniel went to the next room with Lily to search for Lena. Melanie followed behind them, and she even brought the rest of the

crowd to follow them. “Why don’t we go and have a look?”

The people behind them were confused from the very beginning. Today was supposed to be Bryan and Melanie’s engagement ceremony. However, in the morning, Daniel woke all of them up and told them that something happened upstairs, urging them to join in and witness the event. What were they going to witness? They had no idea at all, so they just tagged along with the two of them.

Lily took out another card to open Lena’s room door. “Beep.” She then opened the door.

The moment they saw the situation inside the room, they were both stunned. Bryan’s parents and the directors behind them looked even

more shocked.

“Bryan, why are you in Lena’s room?”

“D-don’t misunderstand. | just came up here...”

Bryan's hair was disheveled, and he just had his pants on. His shirt remained unbuttoned as he appeared flustered while struggling to fasten the buttons.

Lena had not even had the chance to get dressed. She wrapped herself in a blanket, hiding in embarrassment on the bed. She had been planning to have a quick one with Bryan yesterday and leave after they were done, but...why did they sleep through the night in her room?

Without giving the shameless couple a chance to explain themselves, Melanie promptly pointed out the flaws in Bryan’s reply. “You left your shirt unbuttoned when you came up here?”

...” Bryan got even more panicked. He stammered as he could not get the words out of his mouth.

“Bryan, if you don’t want to marry me, just tell me. You specifically chose this day to be our engagement ceremony and had a one-night

“| didn’t specifically pick this day to Bryan refuted.

Melanie did not leave him any room to respond as she continued, “Are you telling me that you’ve been cheating on me all this time?”

As Melanie spoke, she worked on her emotions and started weeping.

“Why do you guys do this to me? I’ve given everything | have to you and your career, and in the end, what | gained in return is your betrayal?”

How hard could it be for her to play the victim? Melanie continued expressing herself as she lamented, “I knew you were close to her, and | thought you two were getting along well just for my sake.”

The directors of Jones Enterprise could not bear to watch anymore as they shook their heads in disdain.

“This is absurd!”

“President Jones, is this how you raise your daughter?”

“Young Master West, you're cheating on Young Lady Jones in broad daylight! You’d better give her an explanation!”

Daniel had been eyeing the CEO position all along, so when he heard the directors say something like this, he hurriedly explained,” Everybody, calm down. There must be a misunderstanding. It’s still unclear that.”

“Yes, this is impossible. Let’s calm down and listen to their explanations.” Since Bryan’s father, Felix West was also interested in the Joneses‘ medical business, he immediately sided with Daniel, trying to calm them down.

However, before they could finish their sentences, a soft and weak sob disrupted their futile explanations. “Bryan, maybe you no longer want to marry me. But by doing this, will it benefit the reputation of the Jones and West families?”

The room fell into a chilling silence, with only Melanie’s sobs resonating loudly in the quiet room.

Melanie intentionally involved their family reputations to confront them, causing the directors of Jones Enterprise to wear grim expressions upon hearing this.
