Chapter 105
The laughter in the banquet hall gradually faded. The sound of Megan’s high heels clicking echoed in the quiet corridor.
She looked back and found no one around, so she headed to a lounge.
Megan immediately formatted the robot dog and deleted all its contents.
She sighed with relief.
“I nearly revealed to the public that Stephanie is a member of the Jimenez family, Megan mused,
To meet Florence, she chose the back garden where no one would come.
Unexpectedly, Megan lost her earring while leaving. When she returned to look for it, she burnped into Christina.
“It seems that Lady Luck is on my side. My plan to eliminate Stephanie will go smoothly too, she pondered.
Megan dialed someone. The other person on the phone called her name enthusiastically, “Meg…”
She replied impatiently, “Next time, don’t speak before you hear my voice. What if someone tries to scam you? Eye met Florence and warned her not to sabotage my plan. Don’t contact me before my plan succeeds, understand?”
“Understood,” the other party answered.
Megan’s tone softened a little. “I’m doing this for the future of the Hayes family. Mom, you must keep an eye on Florence. We can’t let her ruin our future because of her willlulness.
The word “mom” excited Matilda. She had been looking forward to her biological daughter calling her like this.
“Okay,
I’ll watch over
over her. I won’t let her cause you any trouble,” Matilda promised.
“Bye.” Megan’s eyes turned fierce again after she ended the call.
Megan
left the lounge and walked to Room 606 upstairs. Then, she knocked on the door
After a short while, the door was opened.
A man wearing black–framed glasses appeared in front of her, looking like a character from a comic book.
Megan smiled like a fan girl. “Malcolm, there’s something wrong with my friend’s robot dog. Can you help me fix it?”
Accepting the palm–sized robot dog, Malcolm replied gently, “I need some time.”
Megan smiled. “It’s fine. There’s no rush. The birthday party will begin in half an hour. Are you going downstairs?”
“Half an hour?” Malcolm nodded. “That’s enough to fix this little thing. You should go
first.”
“Okay, Malcolm,” Megan replied sweetly.
Watching Megan leave, Malcolm closed the door and returned to the table to fix the robot dog.
Malcolm frowned, ‘Has it been formatted? Do they not want the previous data or did they delete it mistakenly? I guess it’s the latter,‘ he pondered.

Therefore, Malcolm used a special method to restore the formatted data.
In the banquet hall, Christina saw Stephanie eating desserts near the dessert table.
Christina ran over to her excitedly and held her arm. “Stephanie, I’m so excited! My Idol is helping me to fix the robot dog. How can he be tall, handsome and talented? My heart is pounding!”
Stephanie coughed lightly. “Christie, this is Madeline.”
Christina looked over and immediately covered her mouth.
Madeline was smart enough to know the identity of the idol Christina was talking about. “Ms. Fletcher, I didn’t expect you to be Malcolm’s fan girl.”
Christina blinked, then lowered her hand and nodded shyly.
Madeline chuckled. “Malcolm doesn’t like this kind of occasion, so he won’t show up until the birthday party starts. He’s a boring person.”
Christina pursed her lips. “He has a calm personality. That’s why he’s a bigshot in scientific research. The boys in our school are very noisy.”
Madeline thought of something and probed, “How did you get Malcolm to fix your robot dog?”
Christina answered, “Oh, my robot dog was out of control. Then, I used the remote control’s positioning function and found it in the back garden. When I was leaving, I bumped into Ms. Megan Jimenez. She said Mr. Jimenez could repair the robot dog, so she sent it to him.”
Madeline nodded. “What a coincidence.”
Just then, Megan entered the banquet hall and walked toward them.
Megan took the initiative to greet Stephanie. “Hi, I’m Megan Jimenez
Stephanie shook her hand. “Nice to meet you, I’m Stephanie Hayes.”
Megan said, “I’ve been following you for a long time because I used to be Florence’s fan. I didn’t realize that wonderful voice was yours. Later, I discovered that you’re the designer and also the founder of Starlight Design Studio. You have lots of outstanding merits, that’s why I admire you.”
“I hope we can be friends,” Megan added sincerely.
“Sure,” Stephanie replied with a smile.
“Stephie!” someone yelled.
Hearing her name, Stephanie looked back and saw Julianna let go of Graham’s arm and walked quickly toward her.
Stephanie greeted her. “Aren’t you a little late?”
Julianna snorted. “I’m so angry with this dense guy! By the way, guess who I just saw in front of the hotel?”
Stephanie raised her brows. “Who is it?” NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“Florence! I saw her coming out of the hotel,” Julianna replied, feeling confused. “One needs an invitation to attend such a party, right? Florence was dressed up. Who brought her in?”
After looking around, Julianna muttered, “Everyone who came here has high status. Who would attend with such an unsavory individual? Never mind, we can check the surveillance cameras. I feel something bad will happen whenever that woman appears!”

Stephanie narrowed her eyes.
The Jimenez family’s party was full of respected guests. Logically speaking, they wouldn’t invite someone with a bad reputation like Florence.
“Even if the big shots want a female companion, they won’t choose Florence. So, how did she get in?‘ Stephanie wondered.
Meanwhile, although Megan stood calmly behind them, there was a tumultuous storm brewing within her.
Fortunately, I’ve kicked Florence out, or she might cause some trouble. I saw her dodging the surveillance cameras. So, I won’t get caught. Thankfully, I was cautious,” she thought.
Madeline uttered, “Meg?”
Megan glanced at Madeline, “Huh?”
“Grandma might accept Stephie as her god–granddaughter after the birthday party,” Madeline remarked.
Megan felt bitter, but she still smiled. “It’s great that Grandma has another granddaughter.”
Madeline patted her on the shoulder. “Meg, don’t overthink. You’re still the youngest daughter of the Jimenez family. Grandma merely thinks Stephie resembles Mom and feels close to her.”
Megan nodded. “I won’t overthink, Madeline. It’s good to have another person to keep Grandpa and Grandma company. I also hope we can find the youngest quickly.”
Madeline smiled. “Even if we find our little sister, you’re still the youngest daughter of the Jimenez family.”
Megan nodded. “You guys have treated me kindly, Thank you, Madeline.”
Madeline looked at her tenderly. “We’re family, after all.”
Megan hummed in response. She felt more jealous and resentful looking at Stephanie, who was surrounded by the crowd.
‘Mrs. Jimenez already thinks highly of Stephanie. If they know that she’s their youngest sibling, won’t they pay more attention to her? If they discover the truth, how can I still have a foothold in the Jimenez family? Megan wondered.
The Jimenez family might not hate Megan, but they would undoubtedly despise the Hayes family. She would be implicated and the Jimenez family wouldn’t treat her as kindly as before.
Hence, Megan’s top priority was to eliminate Stephanie.
Of course, this must be done perfectly. Even if they found out about her connection with the Hayes family, she had to ensure
blame.
A gleam flickered in Megan’s eyes.
Before the start of the party, Malcolm strode into the hall in his suit pants. He wore a neat suit, looking sharp and handsome.
He glanced around and went straight to Megan.
A hint of surprise flashed through Malcolm’s eyes when he passed by Stephanie.
Megan flinched. Stephanie indeed resembled Selena, so it was no surprise that the Jimenez family treated her differently.
Suppressing her rising hatred and anger, Megah smiled. “Malcolm.”

Malcolm nodded. “I’ve repaired the robot dog. I saw that everything in it had been formatted. I thought someone might have deleted it mistakenly, so i restored it”
Megan froze. She accepted the robot dog with trembling hands.
She exclaimed, “Malcolm, you’re awesome! You can even restore the data after it was formatted.”
Malcolm smiled. “It’s nothing.”
Megan’s heart was pounding. “I’m doomed if the recording was leaked!‘ she thought.
