Mr. CEO's Young Mistress

A chill travelled down her spine when Melanie sensed sharp eyes flitting towards their joined hands. 

Then, she did something unthinkable. 

She shoved Sharon out!

Sharon had not anticipated Melanie's reaction and her body tottered forward naturally. 

The shock made her break out in a cold sweat. She instinctively reached out to grab the person in front of her and stabilised herself. 

"Thank—" began Sharon gratefully.

However, her words got stuck in her throat when she lifted her head to meet someone's cold eyes. 

She felt as if a gust of chilly wind had just blasted through her body. 

Sharon subconsciously opened her mouth, and her breathing became heavier. 

...

Liam couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Melanie pushing Sharon. He felt a chill run down his spine. He choked and began to cough violently.

Sara looked at Liam silently, irked. While Liam was feeling nervous, she felt more gleeful than anything. 

Everyone in Montreal knew how much Leonard treasured Sharon. 

So how dare Melanie push Sharon!

Did she want her hands cut off?

Sara scoffed to herself smugly.

Paul had never expected that someone would dare to shove Sharon in front of Leonard. 

For a moment, he was dumbstruck. When he finally came back to his senses, he frowned and glared at Melanie. 

However, as soon as he looked over, a sharper pair of eyes glared at him. 

Paul stiffened, and he turned to peek at Oliver, who was staring at him with a cold smile. 

Paul raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"M-Mr. Lefebvre! M-My daughter and Miss Andre are good friends, so they act very comfortably with each other. I assure you, Melanie had no ill intentions." 

Regardless of their conflict, Melanie was still his biological daughter. Worried that Leonard would be angry with Melanie, Liam frantically rushed to Melanie's side. His body bowed as he explained to Leonard with a nervous smile. 

Melanie was astonished by Liam's words. She never expected him to speak up for her. 

Sara shot Liam a glance but remained silent. After all, it wasn't her daughter. 

She waited with bated breath for Leonard to turn his rage onto Melanie. 

With a faint smile, Oliver stared at Sara wordlessly before turning to glance at Leonard. 

Leonard got the signal and narrowed his eyes.

He tightened his grip over Sharon's hands that were getting colder by the minute. He pulled her to his side and turned to look at Melanie with an indifferent expression. "So, this isn't the first time?"

Liam trembled, and sweat trickled down his forehead. "E-Erm..."

For a while, Liam didn't say anything.
