Though Bernard hadn’t directly intervened, he had been quietly watching over his lady from a distance all along.
At this moment, a chuckle escaped him unexpectedly.
Suddenly, a large hand landed on his shoulder, giving it a gentle pat. A deep, alluring voice followed, filled with charisma rang out.
“What’s so funny?”
The man’s sharply defined features were partly obscured by the shadows, his skin as pale as snow, lips drawn tightly.
His cold, imperious eyes bore the commanding air of a king who regarded the world with contempt. His entire presence was imposing, exuding an aura of complete self–control.
He stood tall, broad–shouldered and slim–waisted, his athletic frame accentuated by perfectly fitted trousers that showcased his strong legs.
Bernard felt a shiver run through him.
He turned around, eyes widening in astonishment, mouth agape as if his jaw had nearly come unhinged.
The way Jacob and Melody interacted was so fluid and easy that their close bond was unmistakable.
The elite members of the financial community found themselves suddenly unable to share a laugh.
It was common knowledge in their circles that Jacob was the leading investor in securities.
Anyone making an impact in finance had to recognize his dominance. Jacob wasn’t just a well–known figure; he set the benchmark for venture capital!

Melody connected the flash drive to the projector, unveiling the complete plan, complete. with concepts, timelines, and data analyses.
Any industry specialist could quickly recognize that Suzanna had plagiarized Melody’s work. falsely claiming it as her own while attempting to tarnish Melody’s reputation.
What a scheming little snake.
Jacob wasn’t present merely for appearances.
His tall form sauntered over to Suzanna, casting her a frosty, dismissive look, his eyes brimming with disdain and ridicule.
“So, you’re the one who emerged from the shadows and had the audacity to accuse our Melody of stealing your plan?
I think you should get your brains checked to see if it’s still there.”
“A zombie might open your skull only to walk away disappointed, while a nearby dung beetle would probably be thrilled.
“Do you really believe you can claim to have come up with a plan I personally supervised? I’m surprised you’re still functioning when you obviously lack a brain.”
Jacob’s tone remained casual, but his scornful sneer toward Suzanna was chilling and authoritative.
His reputation for cutting remarks was well–deserved.
Having just returned from a business trip, he hurried over the moment he learned his first student was in trouble, barely adjusting to the jet lag.
Jacob was extremely relieved when Melody, who had always toiled tirelessly for the Shields while suffering in silence, finally leaned on him for support.
Jacob unleashed a verbal barrage like a tempest, shattering Suzanna’s composure.

Gary was not far off, his cold, dark eyes fixed on her, silently judging her with a piercing gaze.
A chill coursed through Suzanna.
She turned to Timothy, whose face had darkened ominously.
As a financial expert, Timothy recognized that Suzanna was lying.
She had appropriated Melody’s plan and distorted the truth to make it seem as if Melody was the culprit.
A bitter sensation rose in Timothy’s throat. He forced down the lump, his voice strained as his bloodshot eyes met Melody’s icy, indifferent gaze.
