Meanwhile, Nash left his other hand in his pocket as they shook hands.


    Zachariah immediately deduced that Nash was the one helping Melody out.


    Melody beckoned. “I’ve made reservations for a private room. This way, please, Mr. Dune…”


    Zachariah was aposed man. Despite knowing there was a man who was on good terms with the


    governor-general present, he still managed to keep his cool.


    He chuckled as he said, “So, you’ve started addressing me as ‘Mr. Dune’ as well, eh, Melody? Your


    father and I used to be good friends You can address me as Uncle Zachariah if you prefer that!”


    Melody smiled slightly as she nodded. “This way, please, Uncle Zachariah…”


    A smile materialized on Zachariah’s face as he walked ahea


    Nash walked calmly beside Melody.


    They gathered in the first private room on the third floor of the Hotel.


    Wine and food were soon brought to their table.


    Melody and Zachariah both had a ss of wine after exchanging pleasantries.


    Zachariah cut straight to the chase after everyone had taken their seats?


    “Melody, I’m sure you’ve heard that the Eves had a massyoff just this afternoon?”


    Melody nodded. “The Evesid off 3,800 employees today!”Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    A gloomy look appeared on Zachariah’s face. “They’re doing this to put pressure on the government.


    After all, the Eves y a massive part in the local economy. Both the political and business spheres will


    go up in mes if they copse without warning!”


    He had witnessed the Snyder family rise to the top and then be reced by the Eves during his


    time serving.


    The business world was like a battlefield, and change urred every day at every moment.


    He was not worried about whether these families prospered or declined. Rather, he was worried about


    how that would affect the people and theirmunities.


    If a family’s fortune began declining, several other families would stick their fingers into that slice of pie


    and slowly take over the businesses they once owned. It would not influence the employ who worked


    the production line.


    However, Melody had been merciless in her attack on the Eves.


    It had been less than a day, but the Eves had already been exposed for being involved in six murders.


    Three members of the family had already gotten arrested.


    Fulcrum Group’s market value had dropped by 60 billion dors, and their other businesses had also


    lost abined 30 billion dors.


    He had never heard of or witnessed such methods.


    The Eves were obviously frantic and were forcing the government to intervene by conducting mass


    layoffs.


    “I wasn’t expecting the Eves to use such lowly methods either. I’ll think of a way to rectify this issue!”


    Melody said in an aggrieved tone.


    She had expected the government to get involved upon hearing of the massyoffs the Eves were


    conducting. Zachariah’s invitation to talk had indeed caused her a lot of pressure.


    Thankfully, Nash had pulled some strings and allowed her to be on the same ying ground as


    Zachariah during their conversation.


    “I’m not interested in the turf wars going on in the business world.


    However, the employees staffed on the production line are innocent. All they’re trying to do is earn their


    keep to care for their families!


    “Things will only go further awry if you’re too stringent, and the citizens will turn against you. I hope you


    have something that will appease all parties up your sleeve, Melody!”


    Zachariah raised his wine ss. “That’s all I have to say. Pra any longer will not benefit any of us. I


    wish you sess!”


    Melody clinked her ss against Zachariah’s and smiled. “In was careless this time. However, I’ll get


    things sorted out in no


    The two downed their drinks.


    An approving look appeared in Zachariah’s eyes. “You truly are hi daughter… Even your ability to hold


    your drink is like his! Please fee free to call me anytime you require help. I’ll do my best to help you, so


    long as what you’re asking for does not go against thew!”


    He had only agreed to the Eve family’s request because he had not expected Melody to be able to fight


    against an elite family all by herself.


    However, he changed his mind after receiving a call from the governor -general.


    “Thank you, Uncle Zachariah!”


    Melody smiled.


    Then, Tina reached out and invited Zachariah to have a drink with her.


    The opportunity to have dinner with a governor was hard toe by. She had to make an impression


    on him, no matter what it took.


    Melody picked her ss up and said to Nash, “Thanks for today. I’ll drink to your health!”
