Chapter 517: Chapter 527: Prove It to You

Even when Melody Yoody arrived at the City Council, she still felt somewhat unsure, but when the organization handed her a transfer order, she finally believed it was real. For her, it felt like a dream. Not even the Yawk Family’s influence could have promoted her from Township Chief to Deputy County Chief so quickly, yet John Brown’s one phone call made it happen—what a miracle!

Since striking up with John Brown, Melody Yoody had been thinking of using her connections to push John into politics, letting him climb step by step. However, now she suddenly realized something: John Brown wasn’t incapable; he simply didn’t want to. Otherwise, with his ability to get her transferred so easily, he could arrange a good position for himself if he decided to enter politics. But he chose to be a security guard in a company instead.

Now Melody Yoody felt she really needed to get to know John Brown again. This man had changed so much; he was no longer the clueless youth he once was. Now he’s a deep man, and viewing him with her previous perspective was simply wrong.

Moreover, she had to admit, the current John Brown was a real man, a man of depth, a man that captivated her even more.

Now that she’s pregnant with John Brown’s child, they are inseparable. Even if John Brown already has a wife, she wouldn’t give up just like that. She wanted to keep this man by her side forever.

After finishing the handover at the township, she went to the county to do the same. However, one was handing over her work, and the other was taking on a new role. Although she wasn’t yet the executive Deputy County Chief and was ranked the lowest among the deputies, she was in charge of several important departments. This was far too normal; if it weren’t for someone above with extraordinary influence, such a situation couldn’t possibly occur. All of this, naturally, was the result of John Brown’s phone call.

Sitting in the spacious office, Melody Yoody took out her phone, browsed through the names, and finally dialed Gina Lopez.

“Mayor Johnson… Oh wait, I should call you County Magistrate Johnson now, congratulations.” Gina Lopez started joking with Melody Yoody as soon as she answered.

Melody Yoody chuckled lightly and said, “Gina, even the big boss has time to joke with me. Without your man, how could I have become Deputy County Chief?”

“Haha, no need to be so polite; isn’t that what he should do?”

Melody Yoody really admired Gina Lopez, not because of the great success she achieved in business, where she believed she could easily match Gina. She admired Gina for knowing about Melody’s pregnancy with John Brown’s child yet still being able to chat and joke with her. This was something Melody Yoody couldn’t do.

“No matter what, he is your husband now. Do you have time for dinner with us tonight?”

“No need, isn’t that being too polite?”

“Are you afraid I’ll snatch your husband away when I meet him?”

“Lisa Smith, then I have no choice but to agree.”

“Then it’s settled. I’ll call you after work.”

Melody Yoody was naturally unwilling to spend her life ambiguously with John Brown, but facing Gina Lopez as a competitor, she didn’t want to use underhanded tactics. Even if it meant competition, it had to be fair.

Gina Lopez shared the same sentiment. Both were highly accomplished women with high ambitions. Even if they competed, it had to be based on their own merits.

John Brown was very relaxed in the company that morning. By noon, he arrived at the original little home. The girls, Sarah Grandy and Emily Bailey, had been there playing for two days without seeing John Brown, so they were a bit upset. Today at noon, John Brown took them out for lunch.

“Uncle, you look incredibly handsome in uniform!” Sarah Grandy’s eyes lit up as soon as she saw John Brown in his security uniform.

John Brown couldn’t help but smile and said, “Security uniform handsome too?”

“It’s still handsome.” Sarah Grandy’s eyes were sparkling, filled with admiration. It’s true, beauty is in the eye of the beholder; no matter how John Brown appeared, she considered him handsome.

Emily Bailey looked at John Brown in astonishment and said, “Brother-in-law, why are you working as a security guard?”

John Brown chuckled, “Being a security guard isn’t bad. Besides, I’m the manager of the security department.”

Emily Bailey frowned and said, “I mean, Uncle, what’s wrong with you? With your ability, you got my sister promoted from Township Chief to Deputy County Chief. Becoming a bureau chief yourself wouldn’t be hard, but you’re a security guard. What’s going on?”

Sarah Grandy raised her chin and said, “You don’t understand, do you? Uncle is just being low-key. You know, only truly exceptional people understand how to be low-key. You’re just a little girl, learn from it.”

Emily Bailey protested, “You’re the same age as me, what makes you understand, but I don’t?”

“Of course, I understand. Don’t think that we’re the same age, but I’m Uncle’s mistress, which means I’m fully grown up. You haven’t even dated yet, so you’re just a little girl—what do you know?” Sarah Grandy looked smug.

“Tsk!” Emily Bailey scoffed, “What kind of mistress is that? You’re still a virgin. A real mistress would have done everything.”

“Even if I haven’t done it with Uncle, I have used my mouth to help him, doesn’t that count?”

“Pfft, you’re definitely just bragging, anybody can say that. It’s just using your mouth, I could say I’ve done it for someone too, it wouldn’t leave any evidence anyway.”

Charlotte rolled her eyes and said, “Why don’t I just show you now?”

Emily replied defiantly, “Alright, if you dare to do it, I’ll dare to watch.”

James Brown could only feel a series of sweat drops falling down his head. How can little girls be so open these days, daring to say anything? Back then, he was definitely not like this. He brushed away Charlotte’s stretching hand, cleared his throat, and said, “Cut it out, let’s hurry up and eat, I’ve got to go to work this afternoon.”

Emily immediately broke into giggles and said, “See, I exposed you. My brother-in-law never did it with you at all.”

Charlotte was even more unwilling, stomping her foot as she said, “Uncle, why are you stopping me? I just want to show her, let her know that I’m your little secret lover. This girl hasn’t believed it for the past few days, I just have to make her believe.”

James Brown hurriedly said, “My dear little aunt, I’ll vouch for you, we did do it. Just forget about a live performance.”

Charlotte finally turned to Emily with satisfaction and said, “See, Uncle admitted it.”

“Yeah right, he’s just scared of your antics,” Emily still didn’t believe it.

James Brown secretly thought, Charlotte is the kind of girl who can’t stand being provoked like this. Yet before he could say anything, Charlotte lunged at him, pinning him on the sofa, and grabbed his belt, saying, “I’ll show you, I’ll show you.”

James Brown quickly held onto his belt and said anxiously, “Charlotte, stop fooling around.”

“No, I have to make her convinced,” Charlotte insisted, prying at James Brown’s fingers.

James Brown’s strength wasn’t something Charlotte could easily overcome, but seeing her current mood, explaining it to her would really be hard to clear up. He quickly said to Emily, “Emily, you’re causing trouble too, you can’t seriously want to see a live performance, do you?”

Emily blushed instantly at James Brown’s words and quickly said, “No, no, Charlotte, I believe you.”

Charlotte turned her head to Emily and said, “Even though you say you believe, deep down, you still don’t.”

“No, I really do believe,” Emily stuck out her tongue.

Charlotte’s eyes darted around, “It’s not okay, I can’t let you talk about me like this again in the future, I must prove it to you.”

James Brown was getting a bit upset, he lightly tapped Charlotte’s head, “Charlotte, you’re going too far with this nonsense.”

Charlotte suddenly turned her head, staring directly at James Brown with eyes full of tears, which immediately panicked James Brown. He hurriedly rubbed Charlotte’s head and said, “Charlotte, don’t cry, Uncle was wrong, I shouldn’t have hit you.”

“Uncle, you’re not good to me,” Charlotte’s tears flowed down her cheeks.

“How could I be not good to you, I’m good to you,” James Brown sat up, hugged Charlotte, and kissed her cheek, “Is that okay? I kissed you in front of Emily.”

“She’ll still think you were forced by me,” Charlotte still looked aggrieved.

James Brown felt a headache coming, “What exactly do you want then? But let’s make it clear, a live performance, I’m definitely not doing.”

“As long as I don’t let you do a live performance, it’s okay, right?” Charlotte wiped her tears abruptly, staring excitedly at James Brown.

James Brown felt a little unsure under her gaze, but he still nodded.

“Then Uncle, come with me,” Charlotte said as she jumped up, pulling James Brown into the bedroom. At the doorway, she said to Emily, “You wait here, I’ll prove it to you in a bit,” then slammed the door shut with a bang.

Emily, however, was left bewildered. Charlotte said she was going to prove it to her, but the two went into the bedroom. How were they going to prove it?

Thinking about this, Emily was filled with excitement, eagerly anticipating them coming out. She wanted to see how Charlotte would prove it.
