As a doctor himself, he naturally read medical books and knew just how rare the Sylrien Orchid was–a medicinal plant that had almost been declared extinct.
The growth conditions for the Sylrien Orchid were extremely harsh, and it only grew on sheer cliffs, making it a difficult herb to harvest even in ancient times.
Now, after large–scale urban development, the Sylrien Orchid had once faced massive extinction due to environmental pollution.
Currently, even if you search the national treasury, you would likely only find a single specimen of the Sylrien Orchid.
Unlike other herbs that became more concentrated and effective when dried, Sylrien Orchid was unique in that it must be used fresh to harness its medicinal properties.
Perhaps it was destined to become extinct.
After all, how many plants could be so demanding about their growing conditions?
After Suzanna spoke, she fell silent as well.
Once she regained consciousness, while her parents and brothers were visiting Melody at YM Capital, Freda recounted everything that had happened to Melody during her allergic reaction.
Among the details, it was no secret that Greenfield University’s pharmacology research institute, the Pharma821, and the biotechnology research community were all vying for Melody’s living Sylrien Orchid.
She just had to pretend not to know.
With Cameron’s connections, he could easily find out who had the last Sylrien Orchid.
At that point, she was curious to see how Melody would respond.
Melanie pulled Melody back into YM Capital, and as they walked through the office area, Melody felt a wave of nostalgia and excitement for the workplace.
It was clear she had been a high–society matriarch for far too long.
Melanie found the hustle and bustle of the office environment interesting.
They reached Melody’s office.
“Mel, if those ungrateful Shields come back, don’t hesitate to kick them out. I’ll handle any fallout,” Melanie said.
At first, she wasn’t fond of Melody, sensing that the girl was deep–thinking and clever.

But now, she finally understood.
She genuinely felt sorry for her.
If given a choice, who would want to be so wise beyond their age?

At just 20, Melody was still a young woman, yet she had to bear the weight of running YM Capital and the YM Cosmetics brand.
“Mom.”
Melody said tentatively, as she rarely referred to Christina as “Mom” in front of the Shields; she always respectfully called her “Mother.”
The word felt strange even as it left her lips.
“Yes, I’m here.
“So, what will my job be? Have you assigned me anything?”
Melanie felt a genuine sense of joy as she tossed her Hermes bag onto the desk and happily sat on the guest chair.
“Mom, I’m giving you 10 percent of the shares in YM Cosmetics. You just need to show up for the shareholder meetings. Or you come by whenever you want or don’t come at all.
“But you don’t have to work at all.
“Because YM Cosmetics is focusing on the high–end skincare line, I’d like you to take charge of the PR depa
“And, Mom, you look so youthful and take such great care of yourself that I want to invite you to be the ambassador for our luxury brand.”
Melody was always remarkably analytical when it came to her work.
Melanie was the epitome of a socialite among the Sommerville elite.
While Felicity led the antial
socialites of Sommerville, Melanie had access to the resources of the ladies at
the very top of the hierarchy.
These ladies were getting on in years, so they needed skincare products that were specifically designed for aging skin.
That was the next big thing she wanted to develop.
With such a vast population of women, each with unique regional, age, and skin type characteristics, a one–size–fits–all rejuvenating cream wouldn’t be enough.
She needed to refine the product attributes to meet customer demands and develop a wider range of specialized products.
Of course, she was still in the initial phases of this endeavor.

With the resources right in front of her, she was determined to make the most of them.
“Okay, okay.
“I’ll ensure I accomplish whatever task you assign me.”

After their conversation, they realized that the Shields had already left the entrance of YM Capital.
At that moment, Andrew entered Melody’s office with purpose, his pace quick.
“Ms. Tucker, the person I recommended has arrived at Surriware.
“He picked the most suitable piece of land, but there is a problem. Half of it does not belong to the Jensons. I checked and found that the land is under your father’s, um, Sean’s name.
“Would you prefer to look for another plot or buy this one?”
It was only after he finished speaking that Andrew noticed Melanie sitting in the guest chair. He was taken aback, and quickly lowered his gaze, saying, “A–Aunt Melanie … ”
“Hey, Andrew, why aren’t you in Solaville? Instead, you’re working for my daughter–in–law?
You’re not talking about that troublemaker Nolan Johnston, are you?”
Melanie joked that in the entire Sommerville circle, the upper class was an existence that ordinary wealthy families could not reach.
But most of them were basically related to each other.
As for Nolan, he had always been a subject of conversation within the circle.
Despite never being a good student, he surprisingly made a name for himself in Avenstras.
Now that he was back from abroad, he was the center of attention in both Solaville and Sommerville, drawing considerable attention.
After thinking it over, Melody decided to visit the site personally to evaluate Nolan’s construction skills.
Andrew drove them to Surriware, where the outskirts were still largely undeveloped and looked rather desolate.
Nolan was leading a group of survey team members wearing engineering hats and enjoying the cool under
a tree.
Melody watched from a distance.
Her gaze fell on a tall, slender figure, the boy standing with his back to her, exuding an air of aloofness and
defiance.
Melody felt a sudden chill, as if her blood had nearly frozen, and after a moment, she cautiously called
out.
“Spence!
