Though she stayed calm and collected, Melinda began her investigation of the evil things Yulia had done.

She didn't know how to set someone up, but she would do it with real evidence to back her claims.

Back in the Gu's mansion, Nelson sat behind his desk inside the study. He looked at the company's business reports for the past two months, which made him smile with satisfaction.

Anyway, Jonas wouldn't let him down.

"Knock, knock, knock."

There was a sudden knock on the door. Nelson took off his reading glasses, secured the company records, and stashed them in a small side drawer of his table. Then he took out a book from the nearby bookshelf.

The hardbound cover was a little yellowish, but Nelson preserved it well. He rubbed the corners of the book carefully, and then said to the person on the other side of the door in a low voice, "Come in."

When Yulia heard Nelson's voice, she pulled herself together and pushed the door open. Seeing that Nelson was reading a book, she asked with a pleasing smile, "Grandpa, what are you reading?"

"Nothing interesting. Do you want something from me?"

Nelson held a handbook containing private letters from a long time ago. All these years, he had a habit of looking over the contents, but he no longer felt any impression bearing those written words.

"Grandpa, I feel much better now. I want to do something to distract myself."

Yulia had been doing well for a long time. To get Nelson's attention, she had been pretending to be ill. She thought no one would find out, but she did not expect for Melinda to know about it. So at this point, she stopped pretending.

"Just do whatever it is that you want to do. There's no need to explain it to me. You just need to remember the rules of our family."

The rich and powerful clans hated those people who did awful things to disgrace their bloodline. In the Gu family, there were also many rules, although both Jonas and Melinda had broken most of it.

"I know, Grandpa. But I want to start my own business."

Yulia stated her purpose. The essential requirement for starting a business was a startup capital. She had no funds, so she came to ask help from Nelson.

When Nelson learned that Yulia wanted to develop her own business, he thought it was a good thing. If something else distracted Yulia's attention, it might be helpful to her illness.

"What are you going to do?"

Nelson asked. He had been involved in the commercial business for many years and had a sharp eye for opportunities. Although the family was rich enough to let Yulia try even if she failed, he could help her when he could.

Yulia felt very happy that Nelson cared for her and provided her needs. She thought for a while and said, "I want to try the fashion industry. Grandpa. I will do my very best."

Nelson told her some insights that needed to be considered and given full attention during the early stage of the business life cycle. He then asked his secretary to give her money.

Now that she had the cash on hand, she could start executing some of the plans.

When Melinda was about to go out, she ran across Yulia

downtown library. Halfway there, Jonas called and told her that he would have dinner outside. So she stayed at the library until it was time to leave. The driver that Jonas arranged had already been waiting for her out for a long time.

That evening, Melinda's cellphone kept vibrating while she took a shower. When she picked up her phone and was about to browse some short videos, she saw a dozen text messages in her inbox.

If it were one or two calls, then it was definitely from the telecom company or any public number. But this time, there were more than ten of them. Melinda clicked on her phone and saw the name, Perry Yang.

Melinda tried her best to recall who he was and finally remembered his face. Then, it seemed that they were not so familiar with each other. The barrage of text messages was unthinkable.

Out of politeness, Melinda opened the text. It started with a simple greeting. Perry Yang wrote that he heard from Yulia about Melinda being a writer and that he was a literary lover. Besides, he read many books that were famous over the past few years, with some understanding.

Looking at the words on the screen, Melinda felt awkward, but Perry Yang didn't know that and kept on sending her messages.

He expressed his vast interest in literature, but Melinda found a typographical error which he copied from the internet.

"For the book you mentioned, the writer was not from Y country. He settled in Y country when he became famous, and he was from F country."

Melinda was silent for a while. When she read the next message, Perry Yang was embarrassed and said that he had made a mistake.

He then tried his best to improve his literacy, but Melinda ridiculed him. 'Didn't these people know that we can't trust the internet?'

This kind of awkward conversation made Perry Yang aware that he shouldn't act like he knew better than the professional like Melinda, and then he stopped struggling with this topic.

Facts had proved that it was unwise to talk with the real experts of the topic since they would immediately spot your error and mock you.
