Rosy replied quickly in a low voice, "Your aunt contacted them yesterday evening. She told them what happened and she even told them about Fade."

Rosy could not help glancing at Fade when she brought it up.

Fade's and Melanie's expressions immediately changed. They roughly knew what was going on.

As expected, Rosy immediately continued, "Once your grandfather and the others heard about it, they were worried that you might end the engagement and anger the Yue family. Therefore, they departed in the morning and rushed over to Yudson City. They've just got here and they are waiting for both of you in the villa."

Melanie immediately frowned when she heard this and replied unhappily, "They are just worried about upsetting the Yue family. They don't even care about my feelings."

"This, your grandfather is..." Rosy did not know what to say. After all, what Melanie said was true.

Melanie's heart softened when she noticed her mother's looks. She replied, "Mom, I didn't mean to blame you. However, they're here, so does that mean that they don't know what happened at the Yue Family this afternoon?"

Something flashed across Rosy's face and she glanced at Fade. Her gaze was a little odd and she answered, "Melanie, you know what's your grandfather like. No one would dare to say anything in front of him without his permission. Besides, he just arrived and he doesn't know about anything yet. Therefore..."

Rosy did not have to continue because Melanie already grasped the situation.

Melanie was about to ask more questions when a frivolous voice came from the door. Someone whistled and exclaimed, "Melanie, you're back! Why are you still standing at the door? Come and have a talk with us. Grandpa is waiting for you!"

Both Melanie and Fade looked up when they heard the voice. They saw a man in his thirties standing by the door. He seemed not young but the man had long hair that covered his eyebrows. He shoved his hands in his pockets casually and looked very idle.

"Simon Yu! I don't need you to tell me what to do." Melanie cast a glance at the man and strode into the villa with Fade.

Simon Yu's gaze fell on Fade and he sized the latter up. He whistled, "Melanie, is this Fade? The pretty boy whom you called off the wedding for? I don't see what's so good about him. You called off the wedding and offended the Yue Family for this guy? You even made Grandpa and everyone come all the way to Yudson City personally. Do you think it's worth it?"

"I've told you, Simon, you don't have the right to interfere with what I do," Melanie snorted coldly and ignored Simon. She continued to walk into the villa courtyard with Fade.

Behind her, Simon glared at the duo resentfully. He gritted his teeth and hissed, "Melanie, don't be so arrogant. You're in deep trouble this time. Grandpa's unhappy that you broke off the engagement with the Yue Family."

"After this, it'll be useless no matter how successful your business is. All of the Yu's family's assets will belong to me in the future."

The corner of Simon's lips curved into a smile when he thought about this. He slipped his hands into his pockets and he followed them into the villa.

As Melanie and Fade walked into the villa, she explained, "That's Simon just now. He's Uncle Bache's only son. I guess you could say that he's the young master of the Yu family." "Although he's not young anymore, he's been ignorant and incompetent since he was a kid. The only thing he is good at is fooling around and he's hopeless. Therefore, most of the family's businesses were passed on to the rest of us." "I'm in charge of Emerald Plum Jewels, which is doing the best among everyone else. That explains his hostility because he's probably worried that I would replace him as the heir of the Yu family. Therefore, he always likes to make trouble for me and takes pleasure in laughing at me."

Fade sighed softly and replied, "It seems that there's bound to be someone that's incompetent in every wealthy family!"

"If Simon was willing to be a useless piece of trash for the rest of his life, the Yu family would be happy to provide him food and shelter for the rest of his life. However, he is too greedy and wants to fight for power. If the Yu family's assets were to be handed over to him, I'm pretty sure we all will be doomed."

Upon hearing this, Fade said seriously, "Melanie, I can help you take over the Yu family if you want!"

Melanie was silent for a moment when she heard Fade. She concluded, "Forget it. Let's talk about it later. First, let's settle our current problems." "Okay!" Fade nodded and stepped into the villa. As soon as he entered the hall, Fade spotted an elder sitting in the main seat with a solemn look.

The elder looked like he was in his seventies. There was a walking stick placed next to his seat but his posture was perfect. His face was serious and he was quiet. With just one glance, anyone could immediately tell that he was stubborn and domineering.

There was no doubt that this was Melanie's grandfather, Cyril, the old master of the Yu family.

Two men sat flanking Old Master Yu. On the left was a well-dressed middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. Simon was sitting beside him.

Of course, this was Melanie's uncle, Bache Yu, the current master of the Yu family.

On the right of Old Master Yu sat a chubby middle-aged man with glasses.

The man resembled Cyril but he lowered his eyes and sat hunched. It was the total opposite of Cyril's intimidating looks. He looked very gentle and some might even say that he was weak. Needless to say, this man was Melanie's father, Hale.

All the seats in the hall were occupied by the Yu family's men. Bailey, Rosy, Qiana, as well as Zoila and the other women of the Yu family were all squeezing in a smaller room within the hall. They were listening to every single word that was being said through a curtain.

Fade could not help but frown at the sight of this.

At what age were they living in? Old Master Yu was still so old-fashioned that he did not allow any women to participate in family discussions.

Fade had a bad first impression of Old Master Yu just from this and Old Master Yu had yet to even say a single word.

All eyes fell on them as Melanie and Fade walked in together.

Old Master Yu's face was solemn and unsmiling.

Bache and Simon had a faint sinister smile on their faces. They stared at Melanie and Hale.

Hale shot a quick glance at Old Master Yu and mustered a smile. He tried to speak as gently as possible. He urged, "Melanie, you're back. Hurry up and pay your respects to your grandfather." Melanie placed her hands together and wanted to pay her respect to Cyril, who was in the main seat.

However, before she could do anything, Cyril slammed the armrest of his chair and shouted angrily, "How dare you come back? Get down on your knees!"
