Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness novel Chapter 48

Though she stayed calm and collected, Melinda began her investigation of the evil things Yulia had done.

She didn't know how to set someone up, but she would do it with real evidence to back her claims.

Back in the Gu's mansion, Nelson sat behind his desk inside the study. He looked at the company's business reports for the past two months, which made him smile with satisfaction.

Anyway, Jonas wouldn't let him down.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a sudden knock on the door. Nelson took off his reading glasses, secured the company records, and stashed them in a small side drawer of his table. Then he took out a book from the nearby bookshelf.

The hardbound cover was a little yellowish, but Nelson preserved it well. He rubbed the corners of the book carefully, and then said to the person on the other side of the door in a low voice, "Come in."

When Yulia heard Nelson's voice, she pulled herself together and pushed the door open. Seeing that Nelson was reading a book, she asked with a pleasing smile, "Grandpa, what are you reading?"

"Nothing interesting. Do you want something from me?"

Nelson held a handbook containing private letters from a long time ago. All these years, he had a habit of looking over the contents, but he no longer felt any impression bearing those written words.

"Grandpa, I feel much better now. I want to do something to distract myself."

Yulia had been doing well for a long time. To get Nelson's attention, she had been pretending to be ill. She thought no one would find out, but she did not expect for Melinda to know about it. So at this point, she stopped pretending.

"Just do whatever it is that you want to do. There's no need to explain it to me. You just need to remember the rules of our family."

The rich and powerful clans hated those people who did awful things to disgrace their bloodline. In the Gu family, there were also many rules, although both Jonas and Melinda had broken most of it.

"I know, Grandpa. But I want to start my own business."

Yulia stated her purpose. The essential requirement for starting a business was a startup capital. She had no funds, so she came to ask help from Nelson.

When Nelson learned that Yulia wanted to develop her own business, he thought it was a good thing. If something else distracted Yulia's attention, it might be helpful to her illness.

"What are you going to do?"

Nelson asked. He had been involved in the commercial business for many years and had a sharp eye for opportunities. Although the family was rich enough to let Yulia try even if she failed, he could help her when he could.

Yulia felt very happy that Nelson cared for her and provided her needs. She thought for a while and said, "I want to try the fashion industry. Grandpa. I will do my very best."

Nelson told her some insights that needed to be considered and given full attention during the early stage of the business life cycle. He then asked his secretary to give her money.

Now that she had the cash on hand, she could start executing some of the plans.

When Melinda was about to go out, she ran across Yulia, dressed in a plaid shirt and a tight denim skirt that highlighted her curvy figure. On the contrary, Melinda wore a plain white T-shirt and slim-fit pants, which couldn't be more casual.

"Melinda, are you going out?"

"Yes."

Melinda didn't drive by herself, so she often needed a driver to take her everywhere. Yulia had parked her car beside her, so she opened the door directly and said with a smile, "I'm going out as well. Let me give you a ride."

Melinda didn't think that Yulia would be so kind, but she couldn't reject her upfront with so many people watching. Yulia didn't dare to do anything to her anyway, so three seconds later, she hopped into Yulia's car.

Yulia's car was a red BMW, and the interior decoration and accessories were very girly. Melinda mentioned her destination and closed her eyes.

Yulia glanced at Melinda, and she wanted to move closer to slap her in the face. Melinda treated Yulia like a driver, but when she thought of what she would do next, she tried her best to calm herself down.

Girls usually drove slowly. Maybe it had something to do with their mood. Yulia was cautious when driving, and she was very smooth all the way. Melinda only closed her eyes to rest for a while. She almost dozed off because of the snail-like speed.

The smooth-running car suddenly stopped on the side of the road. Melinda opened her eyes in an instant, and the look on Yulia's face was exaggeratedly frightened.

"I'll go down to check what's going on."

Yulia unfastened her seat belt and got out of the car. After a while, she came back and told Melinda that the car had broken down. The two were still some distance away from the downtown area.

"Honk!"

Just as Melinda pondered what exactly Yulia had planned to do today, a car horn sounded next to her, and a red sports car thoughtlessly stopped beside Yulia's car.

'The color of this car looked compatible with that of Yulia's,' Melinda thought to herself while the driver rolled down the window and looked at them.

"Are you in any trouble?"
