Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 361

Chapter 365

Melanie's eyes were blazing as she stared at the phone.

Soon, Josie got a reply.

When she saw the message, she exclaimed, "What?!"

Melanie immediately snatched the phone to see the message for herself, and her eyes widened in shock once she read it. "Jones Enterprise declares bankruptcy, and the entire Jones Family has left Hammond?!"

"How is it possible for him to leave Hammond? Why would Hanson let him get away?" Melanie was doubtful.

Suddenly, a thought struck her, and she turned to Josie. "Mom, look up who Dylan has met in the past few days."

A short while later, Josie handed the information she received to Melanie.

They were both in an uproar as Melanie slammed her hand on the table. "That b*stard! He betrayed me!"

Josie was in disbelief. "I can't believe he chose to give up on the family company. He's a lot more hard-hearted than I thought."

She clasped Melanie's hand and said, "Looks like we'll have to continue using that woman, Bella Godwin."

Melanie's eyes were flashing as she formulated a new plan.

For the next few days, Melanie kept a low profile, so all was well with the world.

It was finally the grand finale of 'The Voice'.

The top ten contestants all rejoined the competition. Two among them were chosen as representatives to battle it out with the finalists, and the battle would lead to a new set of finalists competing for the ultimate victory.

Bella, who had been blacklisted from the entertainment industry, did not rank among the returning contestants.

Even so, she still showed up in Melanie's dressing room. If anyone observed her carefully, they would notice that her features looked significantly different now. Enough time had elapsed since she went under the knife, and there were no obvious signs of her getting work done.

Melanie had a cold expression on her face as she instructed Bella, "I won't allow any mistakes this time."

"I've already changed my name and appearance so that I can resume working in entertainment once I'm done with this. Why would I make a mistake now?" Bella gritted her teeth.

She had an all-new identity now—Esther Godwin.

As long as she followed today's plan, Melanie would arrange for her to return to the entertainment industry once more, so she was determined to ensure that the plan succeeded.

Melanie glanced at Bella's stiff expression and said, "You need to be able to recite the information I gave you like it's the back of your hand, and you must improvise when necessary, understood?"

Bella's grip tightened around the papers as her gaze hardened. "I've practiced countless times. As long as your part of the plan succeeds, I won't fail."

Melanie stared at her imperiously. "That better be true."

She walked out of the dressing room and headed to the live broadcast venue to prepare for the competition that was about to begin.

Meanwhile, Melanie had dressed to the nines for this recording. She chose an outfit that made her seem powerful and commanding like a queen. This was worlds apart from her previous style, and she carried herself proudly as if she had already been crowned champion.

Her eyes were filled with jealousy as she stared off into the distance.

Somewhere further away, Kiki had been discharged from the hospital following a full recovery. The moment she spotted Vania, she came forward at once.

"Ms. Greyson, thank you for visiting me at the hospital. I've been discharged with a full bill of health."

Vania glanced at her polite stance and nodded. "Not at all. Good luck with the competition."

"I will definitely do my best!" Kiki was full of smiles as she said that. She then turned to Hanson and addressed him respectfully, "Thank you for the concern you've shown me, President Luke."

expression seemed shy and nervous. It was the same look that every single one of Hanson's admirers would show in front of him.

"Mm," Hanson hummed in acknowledgment without even looking at her.

Vania chuckled helplessly to herself. Yet another girl who's mesmerized by Hanson's looks, huh?
