Chapter 816 The closest to you
Ling left the Dewar family with a smirk. She wasn’t going to do anything for them. It was against her
principles to betray friends in this manner, and she would never do so.
The Dewar parents’ had spent so much money trying to find someone to investigate Melissa, but each
time they were turned down.
At this point, they had become the city’s laughingstock.
Melissa has been busy designing dresses during this time, and her original work had been significantly
delayed.
It’s just that one thing has been nagging at her for a long time, and she hadn’t been able to solve it.
When she turned on her computer and saw that someone was trying to hack into it, she set up a
firewall.
Melissa figured that this may happen eventually, so she became an apprentice to a world-class master
hacker, Anthony. She followed his instructions carefully and was able to keep the hacker from taking
control of her computer.
Anthony could assist with the school investigation, Melissa thought. She went through her contacts list
until she found an unfamiliar number, assuming it was Anthony. Melissa called the phone and heard a
sharp sound. She grimaced, but then the line picked up.
“There is one thing I’d like to ask you to look into,” Melissa said.
She informed Anthony of the situation and asked him to investigate. Melissa didn’t have the time to
investigate the school herself because she had a dress to design.
Melissa was concentrating on designing the dress herself, drawing one design after another, but she
wasn’t satisfied.
The dress she desired to make would surpass the boundaries of the world, and it would represent a
completely new taste and color contrast.
Murray gave her a worried look and encouraged her to participate in more activities instead of focusing
solely on the dress all the time.
“Don’t worry about me; I know what I’m doing, and this is my second time working with the princess; I
need to make this work more beautiful,” Melissa said.
After a week of just solely working on the dress design, Melissa created a blueprint that she was proud
of. In that time, Anthony sent email of his finds. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Melissa read the email and noticed that the school has harsh punishments for students. Anthony had
found video evidence. Melissa couldn’t help but stare in horror when she watched the videos.
She immediately sent the evidence to the police and education department anonymously. She didn’t
want to risk the evidence being destroyed. The principal would not be able to suppress this evidence.
Melissa waited patiently for the announcement before browsing the school’s official website. She was
happy that she stumbled across the situation. Melissa didn’t want to imagine what other atrocities could
have happened if she hadn’t intervened.
After a full day of waiting, the local news stations were reporting on the situation. The school had been
closed for investigation for abused and tortured students. The students were relocated. Melissa was
overjoyed to learn of this development.
Murray approached, pointing to the news on his phone and asked, “What did you do?”
Melissa laughed and said, “Sometimes you don’t need that much power to get the job done.” Murray
didn’t know why he was surprised. His wife was a force to be reckoned with.
Melissa began designing the dress with peace of mind. The original draft had been modified, and all
she needed to do now was get fabric.
Melissa enjoyed making clothes, but she had been feeling a little dizzy recently, most likely due to the
long working hours.
Melissa made a list of everything she needed and asked the assistant to buy them.
She then went to lie on the bed with her eyes tightly shut. She hadn’t gotten a good night’s sleep in a
long time.
Jill ran into her room just as he was about to fall asleep.
“Don’t go to bed just yet! You have to see the flowers in the backyard!” Jill said excitedly. Melissa
looked up at Jill and wanted to be upset, but she hadn’t seen Jill smile since she found out her
biological parents were dead.
Melissa couldn’t bear the thought of destroying Jill’s good mood and allowed Jill to drag her out of bed
to the backyard.
Jill had planted all of the flowers in the backyard. She wanted the backyard to be filled with amazing
flowers.
“Did you tell Murray you were doing this?” Melissa asked.
Murray, after all, still treasures his own yard, and it is impossible for others to tamper with it.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already discussed it with him,” Jill answered.
Melissa was perplexed as to what was causing Murray, a traditionalist, to agree to such a daring move.
Melissa waved goodbye to Jill as she saw that her assistant had returned with the materials she
requested.
“I’m leaving for work,” Melissa said.
“How long have you been at this? Have you even slept?” Jill asked hesitantly.
Melissa ignored her questions and walked inside the house.
Looking at the purchased materials and my own design drawings, Melissa had a new idea and quickly
drew it down.
In this manner, she locked herself in her room for additional three time.
She didn’t open her door until she had finished the entire dress.
Murray had just set up a small camp bed at the door and was lying there curled up, looking pitiful.
Melissa couldn’t stop herself from taking a picture of him.
“Why are you sleeping here? You could’ve slept in one of the many guest rooms,” Melissa asked.
Murray rubbed his sleepy eyes before pulling her into his arms. He held her lovingly before saying,
“Because I wanted to be near the one I love.”
