Chapter 770 Undercover Rock
She slightly tightened her grip on the wine glass, thinking about how Lawrence was flirting with her in the hot spring yesterday, and now he attended Angelina's party. He even claimed that he barely knew Angelina.
'Liar! Bastard!' She cursed inwardly but maintained a calm exterior. After all, people had already recognized her as Lawrence's ex-wife.
With so many eyes on her, she could only remain indifferent, pretending not to care about Lawrence, and even smiling to wish him well in finding a new girlfriend.
"Winnie," Melanie approached her once the crowd had thinned out a bit. She looked a bit awkward, stuck out her tongue, and tried to comfort her, "Don't overthink it. These rich people's parties are always full of gossip. Why don't we go sit over there, so you don't have to deal with them?"
"How did you end up coming with Mr. Jenkins?" Winnie asked her.
Melanie looked embarrassed, "Mr. Jenkins tricked me into thinking it was a work event. I thought it was a collaboration between the Blanchet Group and the Jenkins Group. It wasn't until I got here that I realized he had lied to me. Forget it. Who are you looking at?"
The two stood by the glass window in the hallway, and through the glass, Winnie was secretly observing Rock.
"Why are you looking at Mr. Harrington? You two are married. Haven't you seen enough of him at home?" Melanie raised an eyebrow in confusion, "Winnie, have you finally fallen in love with Mr. Harrington?"
"It's not what you think. There's something wrong with him." Winnie shook her head, feeling a chill in her heart. After some thought, she decided to tell Melanie about the recent events.
Melanie was shocked, unable to process it, "Sierra suddenly died? And you suspect Rock and her..."
Winnie immediately signaled her to keep quiet, whispering, "Don't look at Rock, and don't show any signs. Don't let him find out."
"But," Melanie's shock was mixed with a hint of anger, "if Rock really had something with Sierra, then his love for you can't be all fake. What did Sierra's text message to you mean?"
"I'm not sure." Winnie's eyes were cold, "I suspect she was trying to say that Rock killed someone, but I don't know who Sierra was referring to."
She added, "I think Olivia's disappearance might be related to him too, because it was Rock who reported her missing. Now that I think about it, it seems like he was trying to dispel my doubts."
Melanie was even more shocked.
Suddenly, she remembered something, "Winnie, if you're thinking this way, I just remembered something. Before Olivia disappeared, she called me, asking about Sierra. She also asked if I knew there was a Sierra around Mr. Harrington. Now it seems, could it be that Olivia had already..."
Winnie was stunned. Could Olivia have already discovered something unusual between Sierra and Rock?
Wait, Nelson found out that Olivia had been to the club. Maybe she wasn't investigating someone else, but Rock. Olivia also said she had something to tell her.
Could it be about Rock's suspected affair? Did she find out earlier? Then Olivia's disappearance...
Winnie's heart sank with a chill.
Her gaze became even sharper as she stared at Rock, gripping her wine glass tightly, "Maybe there are things I don't know at all. If Rock is hiding something deep, I think in such a high-society gathering, he might reveal an unknown side of himself, like going to great lengths to please these people to cover something up."
"Yeah." Melanie finally understood why she was secretly watching Rock.
"Winnie, I'll help you keep an eye on Rock's actions tonight. He seems so busy talking to people that he probably can't keep up his facade in front of you. Also, I can ask Mr. Jenkins to help test him."
Winnie nodded, dazed for a moment, and looked at Melanie meaningfully, "You've been getting quite close to Mr. Jenkins lately, haven't you?"
"No, not really." Melanie blushed, but there was something she couldn't hold back, "Winnie, remember that little girl who suddenly called me mommy a month ago?"
"Turns out that little girl is Mr. Jenkins' daughter. Last time, I accidentally ran into her when I went to Mr. Jenkins' house to pick up some documents."
"It was so awkward. Mr. Jenkins suggested I should just become Anna's godmother. I know he was joking, but I didn't agree. However, Anna is quite pitiful. She doesn't have a mother and looks a bit like me."
"It's all fate, I guess. So recently, I've been helping Mr. Jenkins pick up Anna from school occasionally. That's how I got a bit closer to Mr. Jenkins and found out he's not that scary. Even though he's a big boss, he usually doesn't get angry."
Winnie was stunned. She thought, 'Anna is clearly Melanie's biological daughter. But Bentley's approach is really like a big bad wolf slowly encircling a little white rabbit. He's being so cautious, afraid of scaring Melanie. It's quite like a TV drama.'
"Alright, go find Mr. Jenkins to help." Winnie smiled and pushed her away, warning her, "But don't let anyone else know what I just told you."
"Got it." Melanie stood up, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the pool area was very lively. Lawrence's tall figure was particularly noticeable. She couldn't help but ask, "Winnie, what do you think is the relationship between Lawrence and Angelina? Has he really gotten close to Angelina?"
The pool party was especially lively, with a group of friends gathered around Angelina. They were all rich young men and women, looking to be in their early twenties. It seemed Angelina was introducing Lawrence to everyone.
Lawrence's mature and stern demeanor made Angelina appear even more youthful and charming.
"What does it matter to me? I don't know." Winnie said coldly, glancing at the pool with a dark expression, urging her, "Go do your thing."
"You're upset." Melanie noticed and didn't dare to tease her further, "Alright, I'm leaving."
Outside the hallway was the garden of the villa hotel, filled with buffet tables.
Winnie walked down the steps, her eyes never leaving Rock. After a while, she felt thirsty and was about to pick up a glass of juice when a cold voice suddenly came from beside her.
"Winnie, long time no see."
Winnie turned her head and saw that it was Angela.
A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hadn't seen Angela in a long time.
Ever since Ishara was kicked out of the Blanchet Group, Angela, as Ishara's subordinate, had also quieted down.
Especially after Winnie supported Melanie in joining the Blanchet Group, Angela's status in the Stewart Family must have declined. She was no longer useful, and Melanie's father must have realized that Melanie was the more capable daughter.
However, despite her predicament, Angela could still attend Angelina's party?
