“Ms. Tucker, YM Capital has already signed on with over a dozen mid–sized companies.
“I’ll assign the initial plans to the postgrads under me, pick the best one as the foundation, and then submit it to you for review.”
Melody glanced at the stack of business cards in his hand. She had a background in finance and had already researched all those companies.
For YM Capital, that was the perfect project to practice on.
It was challenging, but it was manageable.
Her current team consisted of top–tier postgrads from Greenfield University. Once they graduate, they might move on to better opportunities.
If she wanted to keep those talents, she needed to grow the business further.
All of those required a significant influx of cash.
She refused to depend on Edward’s wealth. That was something she had to achieve on her
Own.
“Great work today, Lance. You handled everything well.
“I’m putting you in charge of coordinating this project. If you’re planning to stay with YM Capital for the next five years, I’ll promote you to project manager and offer you 2% of the company’s technical shares.
“Don’t feel pressured to give me an answer now. Talk it over with Mr. Woodman once you’ve decided. He’ll give you all the contract details.”
Melody delivered her proposal calmly, extending a generous offer to Lance.
Someone as skilled as him, a graduate from a prestigious university, could–land any job h wanted.
She had to let him make his choice freely.
Lance eyed Edward, who stood beside Melody, and asked straightforwardly, “Are you offering me this position as Ms. Tucker or Mrs. Moore?”
Melody chuckled softly, her tone calm and steady.
“As Melody Tucker.

She was neither the authoritative boss nor simply Edward’s wife.
She was Melody, a woman who was reclaiming her path after rebirth.
“Alright, I’ll think about it,” Lance said, considering her offer.

As the crowd began to thin out, Melody and Edward prepared to leave when a familiar, graceful figure appeared. The woman was elegantly dressed, with an air of sophistication.
“Melody! Fancy seeing you here again,” said Lily Campbell as she approached. “Do you remember me?”
Wearing a beautifully embroidered dress, with jade bracelets gently clinking as she walked, Lily’s presence was charming and graceful.
Melody paused, releasing Edward’s hand when she saw a respected elder approaching.
Smiling warmly, Melody greeted the elder with a completely different demeanor from her earlier fierce look.
“Ms. Campbell, it’s been a few days. You look as radiant as ever!”
Lily, seemingly oblivious to the imposing Edward, extended her hand eagerly to Melody. “Oh, no need for formalities! Call me Lily. After all, your skills are every bit as good as mine. “Speaking of which, have you thought about the project I mentioned last time?”
Melody nodded but hesitated. “About that, Lily, I might face some difficulties when it comes to funding.”
Sensing an opportunity, Lily patted Melody’s hand fondly. The more she spoke with Melody, the more impressed she became.
“Don’t worry about the money! My son may not have many talents, but he’s got plenty of money! More than enough for us to use for this.
“We’re working on this brand to preserve and promote Cleussau culture, combining it with modern trends. We want young people to appreciate the beauty of traditional embroidery.
“Forget the money talk–it’s boring! Let’s talk about something more exciting. Mel, do you have a boyfriend?
“I have a rebellious son. He’s got a great figure, incredibly handsome, and his legs are so long that they could practically outrun my lifetime!”
Melody was speechless for a moment, trying to wrap her head around the idea of a mother

praising her son this way.
Overhearing that, Edward turned with a smirk. Raising his eyebrows, he chuckled. “Lily, you’re a little too much.
“I worked hard to bring Melody into my life. Wouldn’t that be a waste to match Mel with Zac?
“You should leave her to me–I’ll keep her for myself!”
Edward deliberately lowered his voice when he said the last words.
His regional accent added a playful twist and seduction to the words, which had a suggestive undertone that made Melody’s ears burn red with embarrassment.
Lily finally noticed Edward and gasped in surprise.
“Wait–Mel, are you part of the Moore family now?
“And Eddie–you’re standing on your own again!”
Laughing lightly, Lily continued, “I see. That’s why Melody chose you! With those long legs of yours, you’ve got my son beat by a mile!”
Zac, who had just arrived, was left completely baffled.
He thought his mother was being ‘heartless‘ to comment on him like that.
Melody, on the other hand, had a different view–every real mother would be ruthless in evaluating her children.
