HONEY, Love Me One More Time

Chapter 170: Just A Little Tired

“Sir, this tie…” “What’s wrong?” Mr. Mysterious in confusion. Estelle shook her head and said, “It looks familiar, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen it. Maybe my father had a tie of the same style before.” Mr. Mysterious said with a bitter smile, “All right. Forget it. Estelle, I have brought you two pieces of news. One is good, and the other is bad. Which one do you want to hear first?” Estelle turned around in his arms and stood face-to-face with him. “Tell me the bad news first.” “The bad news is that Melody is so cunning. She seemed to have said something to York, and York has transferred all his property to her, which means that the company, property, stock, and funds of the Hudson family have become Melody’s property.” “I guess that York had expected you to do something to him, so he transferred the property first. Legally speaking, even if you win him in the lawsuit, you will not be able to get these properties back because they now belong to Melody.” Estelle’s heart sank when she heard this. “How could it be? He occupied all the fruits of my father’s painstaking efforts and caused my mother’s serious illness. Why could he and Melody get away with it without paying any price? It’s so unfair!” “Calm down, Estelle,” Mr. Mysterious said as he hugged her tightly and patted her on the back gently to comfort her. “You still have a half share in the Hudson Group that your father left it to you before, right?” “Yes.” “Let’s use these shares to return everything to the Hudson family.” “What should we do?” Estelle said, feeling hopeless. “I have only fifty percent of the shares of the Hudson Group. The Williams Group and the Hudson Group have merged and formed a new company. As a result, my shares have been diluted and now are equivalent to at most twenty-five percent of shares of the new company.” “I’ll help you,” Mr. Mysterious said. “You said that you want to take back all that you have lost in person. Then you should be brave. Don’t be afraid of anything. I’ll always be with you, and you canNôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

do whatever you want.” Estelle took a deep breath and asked, “Sir, what should I do then?” “As the saying goes, the only way to win a war is to know your enemies completely. You have to know about the whole company first. And the best way to know it is to work in the company.” Hearing this, Estelle didn’t reply to him immediately but was lost in thought. She still had some cases to follow up on in Only Love Jewelry. It would be irresponsible to resign suddenly, and Only Love Jewelry might suffer a loss because of it. Then My. Mysterious said, “There’s no hurry. You can finish the work at Only Love Jewelry first. Next month, Yohan will be sent to preschool. And Mrs. Moorsum will take care of Yvonne. You can focus on taking revenge without worry by then.” “Sir.” “What’s up?” “I met... Grandpa Gary today.” Hearing this, Mr. Mysterious was not surprised at all. “I know that. You two had dinner together, right?” “Yes,” Estelle licked her lips and said in a low voice. “Grandpa Gary wants to see Yohan and Yvonne.” “When?” “Tomorrow.” “Do you need me to arrange someone to accompany you?” Estelle shook her head and said, “No. Grandpa Gary is amiable and decent. He is a good person. Don’t worry.” After thinking for a few seconds, Mr. Mysterious said, “Okay. Old Mr. Williams is the great- grandfather of Yohan and Yvonne. It’s sensible that he wants to see them. He’ll be delighted to see the children.” “Yes,” Estelle said in a low voice. “Are you okay, Estelle? You look a little haggard today,” Mr. Mysterious asked. “I’m just a little tired,” Estelle smiled and hugged him. “Sir, do you think the love story of Rebecca

and Justin will have a happy ending?” With a smile, Mr. Mysterious joked with her, “Rebecca is the undercover agent you sent to Justin’s side, right? To get my information from Justin, she even sacrificed herself.” “Sir, you... you know that?” Estelle asked in embarrassment. “Of course.” Mr. Mysterious chuckled. “Rebecca told Justin that if he wants to sleep with her, he must tell her something about me. Justin is not stupid and certainly could see her intention.” “Did Justin tell you about that?” “Yes. But he only told me the part about me and didn’t tell me what they did on the bed.” Estelle thumped his chest gently with her fist and said, “Sir, how come you’re so flirtatious as well?” “What’s wrong with that? You don’t like it?” “No. I like it no matter what you are like.” Hearing that, Mr. Mysterious bent over and pecked her on her lips. “My Star, you are so honey- mouthed.” The smile on Estelle’s face froze when she heard him call her by her nickname. “Sir, what did you just call me?” “Does it matter what I called you?” “But... You never called me Star before. Why did you suddenly call me this?” It had been just about ten minutes since they talked, and it was completely dark. And Estelle couldn’t see the outline of Mr. Mysterious anymore. In the darkness, Mr. Mysterious led her to sit on the dining room chair. “Let’s have dinner. Mrs. Moorsum has cooked a lot of delicious dishes today. Let me feed you, okay?” Mr. Mysterious said gently. Estelle couldn’t help thinking, ‘Mr. Mysterious avoided my question. Why did he suddenly call me Star? Did he just address me in this way out of intimacy? Or... is it a slip of the tongue?’ “Sir.” “What’s up?” “Your voice sounds different from before.” “Really?”

“Yes. Your voice was a little hoarse before, but today it’s not hoarse but low and deep,” Estelle said. Hearing this, Mr. Mysterious chuckled and said, “Maybe it’s because I’m in a good mood today. People’s voices may sound different in the morning and evening. But no matter what, you can still recognize my voice, right?” ‘Yes. I can always recognize Mr. Mysterious through his voice. Although his voice sounds a little different today, I can still recognize it.’ ‘Previously, Justin smoked a lot to make his voice hoarse and deliberately lowered his voice when he talked to me. That was why I mistook him for Mr. Mysterious before. But Justin doesn’t like to wear perfume while Mr. Mysterious does.’ ‘It can be said that voice and perfume are two main factors that I can recognize from Mr. Mysterious.’ Smelling the faint scent of cologne and hearing his voice, Estelle was sure that the man in front of her was Mr. Mysterious, but she still felt something was wrong.
