Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 628

Fade left Green Peace Lake with Melanie, for the Martial Arts Convention had ended.

The results of the convention spread through the media quickly.

In the end, it was the headline of every martial arts news portal that Fade had severely injured Yohannes.

Of course, there were also many related news reports about some other incidents that occurred during the Martial Arts Convention. The news reporters were particularly concerned about Yohannes' use of his bone token. As it was controversial, they wrote a lot of articles about it.

That day, Fade brought Melanie back to the hotel. After comforting her, he sat opposite her and said, "Sister Melanie, can you tell me what happened this time?"

Things were strange since Melanie came to Long City. After all, in the beginning, Melanie arrived to sign a contract with Winnie Huo on the latter's endorsement by Emerald Plum Jewels.

But later, Melanie invited Fade to have a meal privately. The appearance of Qiana and

Yohannes implied that there was more to it.

Now that Fade had asked about it, Melanie sighed. Then, she explained to Fade slowly, "Fade, I believe you've investigated it as well. I'm from the Westamor District. I'm from the Yu family."

Fade nodded. Indeed, he had investigated the Yu family and the Yue family. "The Yu family is a business family in Westamor District, and the Yue family is the first martial arts family in Westamor District," he contended.

"Yes," Melanie agreed. "The Yu family rose in the Westamor District through business. However, without the support of any martial arts force, the Yu family is considered inferior to the powerful martial arts families," she added.

"As the Yu family grew larger in the Westamor District, the other families and clans in Westamor District, especially the martial arts families and clans, tried to take the Yu family down through various means. Some were disguised as cooperation, some directly threatened, and some attempted to assassinate us."

"However, the Yu family is not weak, and the other families and clans were not courageous enough to go too far. Hence, we have been safe for quite a number of years."

"But things changed half a year ago," Melanie grunted as her face fell.

Fade could not help but frown, his brows were knitted together.

Melanie added, "Our family has been doing business for so many years, and our business has expanded all over the country. Among them, the headquarters of our most important jewelry business is set up in Capital City."

"But half a year ago, due to business conflict, our company offended a big shot in Capital City. He pressured our company so much that Emerald Plum Jewels and the other Yu family businesses were all affected," she said.

"He has coerced us into handing over forty percent of our shares to him. Otherwise, he will not let us go easily as he is capable of destroying the Yu family all by himself," she uttered.

"Forty percent of the shares is almost half of our family's property. Naturally, the family did not agree. However, the Yu family has no resistance to his threats in Capital City," she said. Frowning, Melanie continued, "It was right at this moment that the Yue family came to us. They said that they have the power to help us resolve this matter, and we will have to pay them the price."

"The price is you, Sister Melanie, Am I right?"

Fade said as he stared at Melanie.

With quivering eyebrows, she replied after a few seconds of silence, "Yes, it's me. Yohannes, the next-in-line to the Master of the Yue family, was widowed in his early years. And he said that he has a crush on

me.

"As long as I marry him, the Yue family will be willing to help us resolve the threat of the big shot in Capital City," she explained.

As she said this, Melanie couldn't help but take a deep breath. Her eyes were teary, yet they were glowing with fury and agony. "Yohannes is already in his fifties, and he is more than 20 years older than I am. He is almost the same age as my father. In addition to that, there are many rumours about him being a playboy," she whispered.

"Of course I won't agree to this marriage," she stressed.

"However, after the elders of the family evaluated the threat of that big shot in Capital City and following the request of Yohannes, they decided to marry me to him," she said. As she said this, Melanie ridiculed herself with a bitter smile. "Yeah, compared to forty percent of the family's property, it is more beneficial to them for me to marry an old uncle. At least, it won't be a great loss."

"As a result, my family has confined me at home. My aunt, Qiana, keeps an eye on me at all times. She wants to send me to Yohannes' bed in good condition," Melanie uttered despondently.

Fade felt distressed when he caught sight of Melanie's agonised look. He reached out his hand to hold Melanie's hand to comfort her. "Sister Melanie, as long as I'm here, I won't let the others force you to do something you don't want to do."

Fade's assurance made Melanie smile. She replied, "Thank you for your assurance."

Fade was serious. He held Melanie's hand tighter and said, "Sister Melanie, this is not just an assurance. I will do it."

"1-1 believe you!" Melanie glanced at Fade who looked solemn, and her heart skipped a beat. She felt a pang of warmth, so she smiled and nodded at him.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. It was Francesca. "Master Chen, We have brought Yohannes back. When do you want to interrogate him?" she asked.

When it came to Yohannes, Fade couldn't help but think of the incidents related to the Skull Mob. Hence, his expression darkened.

Noticing his reaction, Melanie got up and said, "You go ahead. I'll leave now."

Fade took Melanie's hand and said, "Sister Melanie, are you going back? But the Yu family and the Yue family are treating you..."

Melanie replied him with a faint smile, "Don't worry, it's not very serious. Although they forced me to marry him, I'm not a prisoner. They won't do anything to me. Besides, Yohannes is here with you so I can't marry him anyway. There are still some things that I need to deal with in regards to my family business."

"Well, I'll ask someone to send you back," Fade said. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded as he urged, "Sister Melanie, if anything happens to you, just let me know!"

"I know." Melanie nodded with a smile.

Then, she walked over to Fade, held his head, and pressed her red lips against his lips. "Fade, thank you," she whispered.

After giving him a warm kiss, Melanie waved at Fade and said, 'Tm leaving. This is a token of appreciation."

After that, Melanie strode out of the room.
