Love Across Borders: Melinda’s Story - Season 1 Episode 5

Both sides started fighting, which terrified Jaxon. He wanted to stop them but was afraid their fists would land on him.
The agile bodyguard focused solely on defending himself and made no attacking moves. After all, Melinda was the children’s mother, and he did not dare to hurt her.
“Stanley! Are you crazy? What do my kids have to do with you?” Melinda became anxious when she saw Stanley getting into the car. “How could you just take the children away? They could be lying! Shouldn’t you first confirm what they said?”
She was in fact a skilled fighter. As she had previously been forced upon, she picked up martial arts for self-defense after the incident.
“Mommy! Mommy!” Pamela poked her head out the window and began to cry in terror. “Don’t hit my mommy…”
Samuel, on the other hand, quickly held his sister. “Don’t worry. Mommy will be fine. They will be the ones who are beaten to a pulp!”
However, that didn’t stop Pamela’s sobbing.
“Don’t cry. Mommy will always be there for us.” He then moved closer to Pamela’s ear and whispered, “What we have to do now is to verify that he is our daddy.”
The car then started moving. Seeing that, the bodyguard swiftly jumped into the car, shut the door, and the car sped away right in front of Melinda.
“Damn it!” She ran after the Lamborghini for a few steps before stopping and yelling at it. “Stealing children in broad daylight! How can you call yourself a man? Even had to use your bodyguards? Fight me one-on-one if you dare!”
The secret I’ve been keeping for seven years has been exposed… My genius son and darling daughter… Stanley has snatched them from me!
She squatted depressingly and hugged her knees, her heart feeling empty. “How could he do something like that? What right does he have?”
“Ms. Melinda…” Jaxon bent over to help Melinda up. “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to Samuel and Pamela. Perhaps they will come back tomorrow.”
However, Melinda knew she would never have her peaceful life back.
“Children are, after all, always curious about everything. When they are no longer interested in him, they will think their mother is the best and will return to you.” Jaxon desperately tried to comfort her, but that did not help.
All Melinda wanted to do now was cry. Pamela, that timid girl, is always clingy to me. She even cried just now! What if she was frightened? Will it cause her psychological issues?
“Ms. Melinda—”
“Hush! I don’t need you to comfort me!” Melinda stood up and headed to her house. “Samuel is to blame; he should have discussed it with me at least! He was really inviting trouble by directly hacking their computers!”
“Well, he did discuss it with you, but you didn’t agree to it—”
“You…”
“S-Sorry! Ms. Melinda, I don’t mean that!” Jaxon smiled as he spoke.
What happened was actually a good thing. After all, that was Mr. Fox!
Having such a wealthy father would be a dream come true for many people!
Melinda walked straight to her room. “Don’t come into my room!” she exclaimed, slamming the door shut behind her.
Meanwhile, in the Lamborghini that had just left the scene, Stanley was staring at the two children. With his brows furrowed and his voice charismatically low, he asked, “What’s your mother’s name?”
Max stared in surprise when he heard that.
How could he not know the woman’s name when he already had children with her?
“Mommy’s name is Melinda. Melinda Paisley.”
Samuel held his sister’s shoulder and softly comforted her, “Don’t be afraid, Pamela. Daddy is not a violent man.”
Pamela had always believed whatever Samuel said and had only him to rely on now. Hence, with tears in her eyes, she nodded. “When will I be able to see Mommy again?” she asked, with her voice hoarse.
“As long as you be good, we’ll see Mommy soon.” Samuel then took Pamela’s palm in his and caressed it.
Stanley could tell this little girl was scared. “You are Pamela, right?”
Pamela simply stared at him, her lips pursed, and didn’t respond.
“Come. Give me a hug.” Stanley extended his hand to Pamela, something he had never done before.
Pamela, on the other hand, looked at him cautiously. Only when she saw his smile did she extend her hands as well.
He then carried her and sat her on his thighs. Seeing this, Max was surprised as he knew Stanley was someone obsessed with cleanliness.
“Was it you, Samuel, who stole our information?”
Samuel nodded. Then, he couldn’t help but rant, “Daddy, your security system is terrible! I can hack into any of your company’s computers in 5 minutes!”
Stanley’s lips curved slightly when he heard that. “Try it right now, then.” He wanted to verify what Samuel had said.
“What?” Samuel was stunned. After he realized that Stanley wasn’t joking, he quickly responded, “Sure!”
He enjoyed demonstrating such a capable skill of his.
With that, he took his tablet from his bag and solemnly typed a string of code in front of everyone’s eyes.
After only ten seconds, he raised his head and said, “Done!”
Three seconds later, Stanley received a call.
When he answered it, the person on the other end of the line hurriedly said, “Mr. Fox, bad news! Our server has been hacked, and we are unable to identify who did it!”
Samuel heard this too. He raised his chin complacently, then lowered his head again to focus on his tablet.
At the same time, the person at the other end of the line appeared to be taken aback as he exclaimed, “Wait, our system suddenly recovered!”
Max was astonished by what he witnessed. What a genius! He appears to be really the one who stole our Clear Sky data!
Stanley, too, was shocked as he put his phone down.
“Daddy, I’ve been wanting to hack your company’s server for a long time.” Samuel made no attempt to hide how much he missed Stanley. “I really wanted to see you today, so I couldn’t control myself and did it. I’m sorry.”
Samuel’s repeated addresses of ‘Daddy’ reminded Stanley of the seed he had planted seven years ago.
Max was quite certain that these two children were indeed Stanley’s. Otherwise, Stanley wouldn’t have taken them away.
The international financial conference that we have prepared for 6 months is now ruined just because these children wanted to meet their father. I wonder how Mr. Fox feels about it! But this little boy is clearly a genius. Mr. Fox has got himself a real treasure, so this trip is worthwhile!
Pamela, who had been sitting quietly, opened her mouth too. “Daddy, I miss you too,” she said, with her tears still in the corners of her eyes.
