A Ruling Passion – Chapter 1324

Jett felt helpless. It was completely normal for Melanie to feel insecure, now that she no longer had Don Smith behind her. However, he was telling the truth. She just wouldn’t believe him. “Ma’am, please don’t think the worst of everyone. I may be working for Mr. Smith, but I know the difference between right and wrong. Men don’t like it when women refuse to let go. That will only annoy him. Perhaps you should focus your attention on something else.”

Melanie took a deep breath. “Something else? The baby? She’s the only thing I have left. But he hasn’t even touched her since her birth. Just how cold-blooded can he be? So, he’s distant to the baby too, just because he doesn’t love me? I’m not asking for him to fall in love with me one day, but I’d be content if he could be nicer to the baby... My greatest fear is that he’ll suddenly ask for a divorce. That would be my greatest humiliation!”

Jett checked his surroundings, ensured that there was no one else, then lowered his voice and said, “Madam, Mr. Smith would never do that because Don Smith segregated his shares before his death. Most of it is left to you and the baby. You’d just delivered the baby back then, which is why you’re not aware of this.”

Melanie was shocked. “Is this true? Grandfather... He left his shares to me and the baby? Why didn’t Alejandro tell me?”

Jett shook his head. “I don’t know either, but I guess he thought it unnecessary. This means that he has no intention of divorcing you. So, don’t worry. I’ve heard that women’s emotions are easily affected after childbirth, and you do seem a little... extreme lately. I’m telling you this to reassure you. Mr. Smith will not divorce you because breaking up the Smith fortune will not benefit him.”
