Chapter 241 Melany had already spotted Shirley from a distance .
Although she didnt know the girl standing beside Shirley , one thing was for sure it couldnt possibly be Shirleys daughter .
After all , her husband had been under her thumb for more than twenty years .
man who belonged to someone .
Shirley must hate her to the core , having spent all these years alone , waiting for a A smug thought crossed Melanys But she was beautiful , seductive , and all the men were completely captivated by her , loving only her .
It thrilled her to see other women suffer in jealousy , tearing themselves apart , their desperate , hysterical attempts to compete giving her a sense of accomplishment .
Melany raised an eyebrow , took a step , and almost tripped , barely catching herself from falling .
Harvey , noticing , quickly grabbed her , his voice soft with concern .
Melany , are you alright ? Darling .
Melany smiled faintly .
Thank goodness you were here to catch me .
Im not quite used to the heels you bought me today , so I almost lost my balance .
Harvey reassured her , Its okay , well get you a new pair next time .
We wont bother with these .
Thank you , darling .
Youre so good to me .
Melany clung to him , her gaze shifting to Shirley , and she leaned into Harvey even more , eager to flaunt their affection in front of her rival .
Seeing Shirley so stiff , so cold suffer was exactly what she wanted .
She would enjoy watching the other woman seethe with envy and frustration , Only women like her seductive , charming could truly claim the title of womanhood .
Melany fell into Harveys arms again , this time deliberately and with exaggerated softness .
The two of them were practically all over each other , their chemistry undeniable .
But their display , given their ages , felt greasy and uncomfortable to anyone who was watching .
She kept stumbling into Harveys arms as if to taunt Shirley , casting quick glances at her , daring her to react .
Her eyes practically screamed , Come on , get jealous ! I know you will .
Elaine , watching all this unfold , couldnt help but laugh .

She turned to Shirley and said , Whats this woman doing ? Is she putting on some kind of dramatic performance ? Does she really think shes still in her twenties ? Shes in her forties , and here she is , acting like some young girl .
Doesnt it make you want to look away ? Elaine covered her eyes with a mock grimace .
Shirley , biting back a laugh , replied , Shes doing it to show off in front of me .
She probably thinks Im still as easily provoked as I was before .
Back then , I was furious not because she and Harvey were so in love , but because I couldnt understand how a woman could be so shameless as to actually call up the wife and verbally insult her .
My values and upbringing dont allow me to comprehend how someone like her exists someone who behaves so despicably and flaunts it , making a spectacle of themselves in front of others .
Its beyond me .
Elaine chuckled .
Well , I guess its because shes shameless to begin with .
She thinks she can be brazen in private , but shes nothing more than someone trying to act important .
No wonder Benjamin and Grace cant stand her no respectable family would tolerate someone like her .
1/3 18:01 Mon , 24 Feb Chapter 241 While Melany was busy clinging to Harvey , Dangelo had noticed them too .
He took off his sunglasses and said , Shirley ? Dangelo had naturally investigated everything about their movements in Lento , but that was only his overconfidence he wouldnt have been able to dig deep enough into the Morgans if he truly tried .
At the sound of Dangelos voice , Harvey and Melanys attention was drawn to Shirley .
Elaine , right ? Melany finally straightened up , offering a cool , faint smile .
I never expected to run into you here after all these years .
What a coincidence ! She then flicked her hair flirtatiously , which made her look even more seductive to Harvey .
Elaine didnt hold back , calling out her act .
Oh , come on .
You were all over that man just now , practically rubbing against him , and now you act like you didnt see me and Shirley ? You must think we didnt notice the cringy performance you two just put on .
Even the receptionist had to look away .
You really think youre still some twenty year old ? Melanys smile immediately froze .
The receptionist , unable to hold it in anymore , let out a laugh .
Melany had never been exposed like this before .
Women like Shirley would have exploded in anger from her antics , but times had changed Shirley was no longer that woman who could be easily provoked .
Shirley rolled her eyes .
Really ? You saw me already , so why act like you didnt ? Elaine made an exaggerated gagging noise , adding to the mockery , Harvey and Melany stood there speechless .
Melany quickly regained her composure , furrowing her brows , and sneered at Elaine .
Ive heard of you .
You must be Kingsleys new wife , right ? Not bad … but nothing special .
She turned to Shirley , continuing her taunt , And as for you , maybe you should teach your daughter in law some manners .
She shouldnt be sticking her nose into matters that dont concern her and speaking so insolently .
Harvey shot Shirley a furious look the moment Melany spoke .
It was as though every word Melany said made his temper flare .
Shirley , what do you have to say for yourself ? Shirley , rolling her eyes so far it looked like they might get stuck , snapped back , What do I have to say ? Who do you think you are Harvey , do you still think youre the big shot from the Morgan family ? Dont forget , you were kicked out long ago .
Youre nothing now .
So why act tough in front of me ? Who cares ? A washed up failure who came back from abroad , with a woman who can only flirt in public , thinking she can around : Dont make me laugh .
Even Elaine walks all over you two , and you still dare to act like youre above her .
boss me Youre lucky shes kind enough to tolerate you , but dont get it twisted if she insults you , if she slaps you , thats what you deserve Shirleys words were sharp as daggers , her tongue cutting through the air .
Even Melany , who always prided herself on her charm , couldnt hide her pallor as Shirleys words hit home .
Elaine , nearly dropping her snack , couldnt help but silently applaud Shirley for putting them in their place .
2/3 Only then did the hotel staff realize that this wasnt some glamorous , high class family they were dealing with .
Even if they once were , they were no longer in the elite circles .
The managers expression shifted , seeing them for what they truly were people pretending to be important .
Dangelo could feel the shift in the hotel managers attitude and slowly clenched his fists .
Shirley , still not done , turned to Melany and said , You probably get some twisted satisfaction from watching me get angry , from seeing me jealous , dont you ? But Im long past caring about Harvey .
If you love him so much , go ahead , take him .
After all , he doesnt even have the Morgan family name anymore hes nothing but a has been , barely better than a beggar Youve spent all these years catering to him , tolerating his faults , giving him emotional and physical support .
I should actually thank you .
I mean , the title of Mrs.
Morgan may not mean much , but the benefits sure are all mine .
Youre left as nothing but the other woman , forever in the shadows .
Ive thought about it , and honestly , I feel a little sorry for you .
Shirleys words were a blow to Melany , and there was no denying it : Shirley wasnt the woman she could push around anymore .
