Chapter 499 Melanie Pays A Visit âOh, itâs nothing. Melanieâs here, so you should welcome her,â
Raymond said with a grin. A smile nudged Melanieâs lips. Raymond took one look at Melanieâs fortune and gaped inwardly. She has the True Dragon aura surrounding her. I canât believe I see that in a woman. She has a bright future ahead of her. She was already a high-ranking official at a young age. I wonder where she would be five years later. âDonald, Iâll be in Pollerton for three months. You can come to me anytime if you need help,â Melanie told him. Donald responded, âItâs all right. I can take care of it myself.
â Instead of flying in a rage at his response, Melanie flashed a smile. âThere will be times when it isnât suitable for you to take action, right?â âIâm sleepy, so Iâm going to bed now. Why donât you two chat somewhere else?â Raymond asked. Melanie glanced at Donald. âLetâs go for a stroll?â Donald grunted in acknowledgment. They walked under the moonlight slowly. It was early autumn, so the weather was chilly. Melanie wore a trendy coat that gave off a different vibe from the outfits she usually wore in meetings. Their shadows stretched under the street lights. Melanie lifted her head and looked at Donaldâs side profile. âIâm curious about your identity.â Donald looked ahead. âDidnât your grandpa tell you about my identity?â Melanie shook her head. âNo. He said your identity is top secret.â âYouâre a high-ranking official. You know what âtop secretâ means. Do you think Iâll reveal my identity to you?â
Donald sneered. Melanie remained calm. âPeople might think Iâm a tough and merciless person, but Iâm a woman too. A pretty one, at that. Why are you treating me icily?â Donald replied, âI know you wonât get upset. Iâm curious why youâre pestering me, though.â Melanie giggled. âYouâre better than Atticus.
Oh, by the way, Atticus Irving is my fiancé,â she revealed. âWhat a coincidence. Atticus is my cousin,â
Donald responded. Melanie added, âI donât like him.â âMe, too.â Donald inclined his head. Melanie chuckled aloud. âLook, we have a common topic!â Donald was caught by surprise. âWhy are you so good at starting a conversation?â Melanie rolled her eyes in exasperation. âIâm going to hold an economic work conference the day after tomorrow to redeploy the social structure of Pollerton. Will you join me?â she asked. Everyone knew Pollerton was an economic and financial center after Donald started the land reclamation project here, creating endless possibilities. The successful development and mass production of extreme renewable energy and extreme insulation material would change the industry entirely. The market would gradually eliminate conventional energy sources such as petroleum, coal, and natural gases.
The Ten Prestigious Families and Atlantis from a foreign country would try to stop the change.
However, if they failed to stop the change, they would have to start a revolution, too. Thus, it was just a matter of time before Donald became the wealthiest man on earth. The higher-ups also noticed that Pollerton needed to undergo a structural change and sent Melanie here. That proved how capable and influential Melanie was. She was the youngest female high-ranking official in history. âIâll be there,â
Donald told her. âPollerton is quite lively now. Many conglomerates moved here, for example, Campbell Capital, Irving Capital under Irving Group, Yund Groupâs automotive company, Collins Groupâs phone company, automotive companies, local companies, and Noahâs Noah International Group, among others,â Melanie explained in detail as a smile flitted across her lips.
A sculptor could not have fashioned her face any better. Spools of her hair plunged around her photogenic face and splayed on her shoulders. She had a sophisticated personality instead of coming off as a loose woman. One would notice that she looked both authoritarian and arrogant if one were to observe her. She also boasted a curvy figure. Standing at one hundred and sixty-five centimeters tall, she was blessed with ivory skin and a swan-like neck. There was no accessory adorning her body, and she simply looked elegant.
