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 a composed 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 addressingas ‘Mr. Dune’ as well, eh, Melody? Your father and |
used to be good friends You can addressas 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMelody and Zachariah both had a glass 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 mass layoff just this afternoon?”
Melody nodded. “The Eves laid off 3,800 employees today!”
A gloomy look appeared on Zachariah’s face. “They're doing this to put pressure on the government. After all,
the Eves play a massive part in the local economy. Both the political and business spheres will go up in flames if
they collapse without warning!”
He had witnessed the Snyder family rise to the top and then become
replaced by the Eves during his tserving.
The business world was like a battlefield, and change occurred 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 their communities.
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 dollars, and
their other businesses had also lost a combined 30 billion dollars.
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 mass layoffs the Eves were conducting.
Zachariah’s invitation to talk had indeed caused her a lot of pressure.
Thankfully, Nash had pulled sstrings and allowed her to be on the splaying 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. | hope you have something that will appease all parties up your sleeve, Melody!”

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 callanytyou require help. I'll do my best to help you, so
long as what you're asking for does not go against the law!”
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 to cby. She had to make an impression on him, no
matter what it took.
Melody picked her glass up and said to Nash, “Thanks for today. I'll drink to your health!”
