Chapter 353 Allergic to Men
“Do you know what you’re talking about?” Harlow snarled.
He couldn’t tolerate it any longer.
He valued his pride the most, and no one had ever dared to say that his health was bad. Besides, his
health was undoubtedly the best among the entire Yorks. That was without a doubt!
Because he was in good health, his grandfather always favored him to inherit the family business.
This woman had a lot of guts to publicly claim that he was sick!
“I know exactly what I’m saying.”
Facing the roaring beast, Melanie shielded Annie behind her, her expression calm.
“At the Angle family’s centennial celebration, I demonstrated my ability to identify herbs by smell in
public. That should ring a bell for you, Mr. York. I’ve been studying traditional medicine ever since I was
young, and I know the ways of observation, smelling, questioning, and pulse-taking. Your illness has
already penetrated into your bones.”
Seeing her speak with such conviction, Harlow’s subordinates behind him were frightened. One of
them asked anxiously, “Then how can it be treated?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Treated?” Melanie raised her eyebrows. “It’s near impossible.”
“How dare you wish for my death?!”
Harlow stepped forward, intending to strangle Melanie, but he was blocked by Leo.
“Harlow, Grandpa won’t allow you to do this.”
“Don’t use Grandpa to pressure me!”
Although Harlow was resentful, he still took a step back, indicating that he didn’t dare to challenge
Joseph’s authority.
After pausing for a moment, he insisted on questioning Melanie, for the sake of his pride.
“Today, I’ll listen to what you have to say. What disease do I have, and what discomforts do I usually
experience? If you get it wrong, I won’t spare you!”
At the Angle family’s centennial celebration, Harlow had personally witnessed Melanie’s feat. With so
many herbs present, she could identify them faster and more accurately than a genius who was
prepared.
When she claimed to be proficient in traditional medicine, she had actually impressed him.
“I’m not in the mood. I don’t want to tell you. If you’re worried about your condition, you might as well
spend a lot of money to consult a master of traditional medicine.” Melanie said, and turned to leave.
Leo reacted, and chased after her. “Melanie, I’m sorry. I’ll give you a ride now.”

“No need,” Melanie declined. “I came to participate in the International Perfume Blending Competition,
and the organizing committee will send a car to pick me up. I’ll go look for it ahead.”
After that, she nodded and took her leave.
Leaving the place where the heirs of the York family gathered and stirred up trouble, Annie couldn’t
help but roll her eyes and stick out her tongue.
“I was just thinking that Leo isn’t bad. He’s presentable and shy, and he looked really compatible with
you. But after I saw him in front of his brother just now, forget it. Gabriel is still better!”
Melanie shook her head helplessly. “I brought you out to relax. Don’t pair me up with every man you
see, okay? I’m allergic to men now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay, okay. I just wanted to cheer you up.” Annie smiled, and held her arm.
“Harlow is cruel and ruthless by nature, and his reputation as a heartless person is known even
domestically. He’s a few years older than Leo and has been controlling the Yorks’ business resources
for years, so he has much more connections than Leo. Leo being afraid of him is normal,” Melanie
explained.
“You don’t happen to have a good impression of Leo, do you?”
Combining Melanie’s daring act of standing up for Leo just now, Annie was quite worried.
“I just want to repay Leo a favor. He helped me before. At least, on the surface, he helped me, and now
I don’t owe him anything.”.
Considering what Harlow said just now, it seemed Leo approaching her was Joseph’s idea. Joseph
even forbade Harlow from harming her. What was the reason behind all this?
Melanie couldn’t figure it out.
The Yorks were vast and wealthy. What kind of daughter-in-law couldn’t they find? Why would they go
to such lengths to please her? There seemed to be something suspicious about it.
