Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Cooper Coldson’s Ex-Girlfriend Is Named Yolanda Greenwood, Right?

Brooks Parker saw Melissa Greenwood hang up the phone and scoffed, quickly sending a message, "Don’t regret this."

He put away his phone and entered the Coldson Group building, heading to the reception desk.

"Good morning, sir, how may I help you?" The receptionist was young and pretty, fluent in English.

Brooks, once a top student, was naturally good at English and quickly informed her that he wanted to see Melissa Greenwood.

The receptionist maintained a perfect smile, "Do you have an appointment? Or, would it be convenient for you to call Miss Greenwood to come down to meet you?"

"It’s not convenient." Brooks lost his patience, "Call her now and tell her to come down."

The receptionist hesitated but dialed Melissa Greenwood’s number.

Melissa was in a meeting with Cooper Coldson when her secretary came in to get her, and she immediately guessed that it was Brooks.

She didn’t want to pay attention to it, yet she heard Cooper’s low voice, "Go ahead, you’re no help here anyway."

He was obviously scorning her.

"Fine, let’s have dinner together once the meeting is over." Melissa had no choice but to leave, grinding her teeth in frustration.

When she reached the ground floor, she noticed Brooks had actually come in person; she hurried forward to push him away.

"What’s the rush?" Brooks didn’t budge, "Wouldn’t it look bad for your CEO girlfriend to be tugged around by a stranger?"

Melissa was so mad she could go crazy, "Brooks, stop this nonsense, are you trying to get May killed? Cooper Coldson would really kill someone!"

Brooks huffed but followed Melissa obediently.

They went to a small park not far from the company.

Melissa tightened her coat and said impatiently, "What do you want to say? It’s cold, hurry up, I need to get back."

Brooks tried to hug her but she pushed him away.

"Are you insane?" Melissa was at the end of her rope, feeling that this man had to be dealt with soon.

"How can you change faces so quickly?" Brooks also lost his temper, "Didn’t you plead under me last night? Have you forgotten?"

"Brother Brooks, I’m really afraid of being discovered by Cooper," Melissa looked anxious enough to cry, "What do you really want?"

Brooks smiled, thinking of something, "Guess who lives above me?"

"I’m not interested." Melissa was out of patience, "Brother Brooks, I know you want me to check on May, but I really can’t leave now. Can you give me some more time, please?"

But Brooks didn’t pick up on her words, "I remember back in school, didn’t Cooper have a girlfriend?"

Melissa’s expression changed, unable to understand what Brooks was getting at.

"He liked that girl back then, didn’t he?" Brooks smiled at Melissa, "I remember her name was... Yolanda Greenwood?"

"Brother Brooks, what are you getting at with this?" Melissa was increasingly confused as she listened, "Cooper broke up with Yolanda Greenwood a long time ago, it was just for fun."

Brooks just laughed, "Just for fun with her? And not with you? Melissa, you better wise up, with your background, I doubt you’ll ever be good enough for the Coldson family."

Melissa had had enough, "Brother Brooks, I’m going back. If you really want me to check on May, then stop looking for me all the time, I’ll go when I find a chance."

She turned to leave.

"Wait." Brooks called out to her again.

"Don’t push me!" Melissa glared at Brooks angrily.

Brooks stepped forward quickly, "Give me some money."

"Money?" Melissa frowned, "Five million is not a small sum, give me some time."

"Not the five million, just give me some... pocket money." Brooks’s eyes were evasive.

Melissa found it odd, "Didn’t I give you money last night? You couldn’t have spent that much on a room, there should be over two thousand left."

"Please, don’t you know the cost of living here?" Brooks became increasingly agitated, "Plus, I had to buy food and clothes for May, it’s all gone, just give me another five thousand."

"Just one night, how much could you eat? And how much could children’s clothes possibly cost?" Melissa sensed something was off.

"Do you care? Are you giving it or not?" Brooks seemed more irritable by the second, and yelled, "You’re about to become part of the Coldson family, can’t you part with that little amount?"

Not wanting to argue with him, Melissa took out the money and handed it over.

Brooks pocketed the cash and left with one final remark, "Don’t think about ditching me and May."

Melissa watched his back disappear, her teeth clenched in anger. She had to find a way to get rid of this man and that wretched child quickly, otherwise everything would be ruined if Cooper found out.

Back at the apartment, Yolanda Greenwood ended her video call with Lola Gold and saw Brooks come back to pick up May.

She sent the little one away, asked for Brooks’s name again, to which he still didn’t respond, and she found it quite strange.

The next day, after arriving at the company, Leah Diaz and Yolanda were called over by the design director.

It turned out that Tala planned to build a world-class clothing park, combining factories, shopping malls, and runways into a true fashion paradise.

Today, the design director Candy was going to meet with the engineers to check out several locations and asked Yolanda and Leah if they were interested in joining.

"Of course I’d like to go." Yolanda was a bit excited, as she would surely learn a lot during the process.

Leah nodded in agreement. She couldn’t stay in M country forever, once Little Wood’s condition stabilized, she’d have to return.

And once back, if she could set up her own factory to make clothes, it would certainly be better than working for others.

Thus, Candy took the two to meet the cooperating partners.

"Our partners this time are also from China, a company said to be second to none in strength." On the way, Candy chatted with them.

Hearing such a leading title, Yolanda couldn’t help but think of the Coldson Group, but she figured the coincidence was unlikely.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they met the partners, Yolanda saw Cooper.

Both were clearly surprised.

"Do you know each other?" Candy took the initiative, "Right, you met at the last year-end show."

"We don’t know each other," Yolanda almost immediately denied, "We did meet briefly at the last show, but just that once, nothing more."

Cooper’s gaze turned frosty as he looked over and quickly added, "Indeed."

"It’s okay," Candy smiled, "There’s a Chinese saying, ’Strangers at first, but friends at second meeting.’ After today, you officially know each other."

This time, Yolanda forced a smile but didn’t respond.

Cooper, however, said flatly, "Not interested, and besides, today’s terrain might be rough, not suitable for pregnant women."

"Is that so?" Candy looked at Yolanda apologetically, "Do you still want to go, Miss Greenwood?"

"It’s fine, I can go." Yolanda was determined; she had no reason to miss this opportunity.

Cooper glanced at her high heels, which looked to be at least six or seven centimeters tall, and with a humph, he walked ahead.
