"Holley?"

Melinda called in shock. A lot of things had happened lately and Melinda almost forgot that Holley existed.

Nelson became furious when he found out that it was Jonas's ex-girlfriend coming. He resisted the urge to hit Jonas. Nelson's grip on the walking stick tightened and his knuckles almost turned white.

"All the girls are looking for you," Melinda uttered sarcastically.

"Let her go back,"

Jonas ordered, looking uneasy as he wondered what Holley had come for.

"Mr. Jonas…" the bodyguard stepped forward and whispered in Jonas's ears. "That lady is saying that she is pregnant with your child."

He looked around to check if anyone was listening to their conversation. Luckily, no one could hear them.

The bodyguard didn't dare to look at Jonas. He knew how Jonas would react.

Although Nelson didn't hear anything, his anger reached its peak when he saw Jonas walk towards Holley. He grabbed his walking stick and smacked Jonas in the back. His body was shaking with anger and he lost balance and fell to the ground. Melinda lunged forward and held him. Her heart sank when she saw that Nelson's face had turned pale.

Melinda had somehow managed to get rid of Emily but there was another storm in her life in the form of Holley. Everything seemed to be tangled into a fine mess.

"Gavin, take Grandpa upstairs and let that woman in."

"No way, Mellie. I want to know why she has come here. I won't let anyone take advantage of my absence to torture you. You've been through a lot already."

Gavin quickly held Nelson's hand to support him but Nelson pushed him away. Jonas was leaning against the wall, alleviating the pain. The bodyguard looked at them and snuck out of the house before he got into trouble.

Nelson's hands were trembling with anger. But Melinda hid her annoyance and remained composed.

"Grandpa, trust me. I'll be fine."

Melinda smiled reassuringly. She was not the woman who once wallowed in self-pity and cried herself to sleep. She had become stronger and wouldn't let anyone bully her.

Although Nelson reluctantly turned to leave, he was still worried about Melinda. She endured everything without complaining. He glared at Jonas warningly and went back to his room.

Jonas and Melinda were all alone in the enormous living room. Melinda closed her eyes and sighed. She wondered what plan had Holley come up with. When she glanced at the door, she saw Holley sashaying towards Jonas with a seductive grin.

Holley was a model and always wore high heels. But she walked in flat slippers today. She ignored Melinda and turned to look at Jonas.
