Chapter 117 The CEO and His Femme Fatale
This made Edward a little jealous, but he knew how much Melody valued her career.

He couldn’t bring himself to crush her passion. Compared to his own business empire, the things she was tinkering with seemed insignificant.
He could easily make her a major player in any industry with a snap of his fingers.
But he knew that wasn’t what Melody wanted, so he never flaunted his power or offered to help from a place above her.
Instead, he chose to support her, staying by her side and letting her play with the things that excited her.
“Eddie, you really get me!
“Come here, give me a kiss.”
Melody laughed playfully, burrowing into his arms, more and more drawn to the rare warmth and affection he gave her.
Edward glanced sideways at her, and with Melody teasing him like this, the tips of his ears started to turn red.
He was about to lean in and let her kiss him when his eyes caught something out of the corner of the room.
His gaze shifted to the laptop that was still open the video conference with the company’s board members hadn’t been closed yet.
Edward’s eyes flicked over the screen, seeing that the video had frozen. His expression softened slightly.
Ah, the video was lagging
The board members of Moore Group were completely stunned.
What the hell?!
Did they just hear that right?
Their ruthless, cold–hearted boss Edward–the man who showed no mercy to anyone at the company–was getting all flustered because his wife was teasing him?
And that voice… so soft and sweet? Were they sure Edward hadn’t kidnapped some cute,

innocent girl?

No… no way. This had to be some kind of hallucination brought on by being worked to the bone by Edward.
But in the next second, they saw a young, beautiful girl’s face appear on the screen, her complexion fair and radiant.
Melody had wrapped her arms around Edward’s neck and pressed a soft kiss to his Adam’s apple.
Because of the angle, Edward’s usual intimidating face was half–hidden in shadow, leaving the focus on Melody’s delicate profile as she leaned up to kiss him.
The scene was both sweet and teasingly seductive.
After the kiss, Melody didn’t forget to ask with a playful pout, “Honey, was that enough?
“Or do you want more?”
That comment… no matter how you listened to it, it just sounded so suggestive!
But, oh my God, the dynamic of the cold, ruthless CEO and his sweet, adorable little wife why was this so strangely addictive?
The Moore Group board members held their breath, pretending their screens were frozen..
The entire conference room felt like it had been put on pause.
Though they weren’t speaking, their darting eyes told the story of pure shock and brewing gossip.
If they could speak in hand signals, the board members would have been signing out every piece of juicy gossip right then and there!
This was Edward’s first private–life scandal in the making!
Want more?
Should he want more?
If Edward didn’t rise to the occasion, could he even call himself a man?
But Edward simply looked down, gently squeezing Melody’s cheek.
He tilted her head slightly in the direction of the laptop and spoke in a low, raspy voice, “Babe, do you think their screens are really frozen, or are they spying on us?

“If they’re spying… should I just gouge their eyes out?”

Edward’s dark eyes narrowed as he cast a playful but dangerous look at the board members.
In that moment, chills ran down their spines.
Edward had been disfigured and disabled for three years, but since returning to Moore Group, he was just as ruthless and merciless as before–if not more so.
His words were clearly a warning shot.
No one dared move a muscle.
Melody, being sharp, knew Edward needed to establish his authority now that he was back at the company.
She played along, lazily narrowing her beautiful almond eyes and casting a glance at the laptop, her voice dripping with lazy seduction like a femme fatale, “Tsk, how boring.
Why not just amputate everything above the neck?”
The Moore Group board members were stunned, gasping inwardly.
What?!
The new Mrs. Moore was hardcore!
She looked soft and sweet on the outside, but in reality, she was vicious and cold–blooded.
A perfect match for Edward, the ‘elegant executioner.” They were truly a pair of wolves in league together!
