Benjamin and Belinda froze.They knew it would not be so easy!Melody was apparently planning to humiliate Evelyn!Belinda shouted angrily, "No! Evelyn is your cousin. Aren't you turning her into a servant if you have her work for you?"Evelyn shouted over the phone, "No way! I don't want to suffer after I go home!"Benjamin's face was also stiff, and he started scolding Melody, "We are your elders. Is this how you behave when we are discussing matters with you? Evelyn is your relative, after all. Is this how you treat family? Aren't you worried about people saying that you are cruel once they find out?""Relatives? Is what she did something a relative would do? It was her who crossed the line first, she cannot blame me for punishing her. I'm older anyway."Melody gave them a stern look. "Go ahead and tell everyone about me whatever you like. I might as well tell them about her deeds and let them judge. Do you really think that I don't know how the necklace in my jewelry box g
It was the entertainment section's headline. The picture on her screen showed a tall man holding a woman in his arms. The woman looked very fragile in a dripping white dress.Weren't they Christopher and Talia?Melody could not hide the coldness in her eyes. Seeing her reaction, Levian got anxious and quickly came over to read the news."What is it? I… Shit, what is this unsightly thing? Is there nothing else to report on? The entertainment section is so short of news to report!"After the mess during the wedding, he thought that Christopher would not be able to stand being cheated on. Even if Christopher was blind, he should have learned of Talia's true nature!Levian thought that Talia would be in the worst situation she could be in, having no place to vent her desperation. But now they were caught on camera acting so intimately with each other. Who could have expected that?Although he did not know what happened to them before the photo was taken, he was sure that Christophe
Melody was speechless.Who did Levian mingle with all this time?Melody knew that he meant well, but it was still too much for her. She did not want to indulge herself in wildness just to escape her emotions."Levian, I appreciate your good intentions. But I don't want to do this, it's better to have no one than to simply get someone.""What? You really don't like any of them?"Her serious face told Levian that she was not refusing out of shyness, so he helplessly leaned on the sofa and sighed."You are just too serious and sincere in relationships. Maybe this is the difference between men and women. If I were you, I would surely go to the pub now and stay there for three whole days. Everything would be over after the fun."Melody remembered Levian's dashing appearance at the nightclub. Suddenly, something flashed across her mind, and she recalled something.She remembered that her best friend, Luna Bailey, liked a tall and handsome sports car racer.At that time, she had a fe
The hospital's ICU reeked of strong disinfectant. The chilly light was reflected off the blue walls.Just outside the ward, Christopher sat emotionlessly on the couch. He took a seat with his long legs crossed. Under the spotlight, his features appeared sharp and angular.The door swung open, and a doctor walked in.He gave Christopher a report and told him, "Mr. Bolton, the report shows that Ms. Stewart is fine. Although her blood loss is not life-threatening, she will need to be hospitalized for several days so that she can be closely monitored."Christopher did not take the report. He said, "As long as she's okay, it's fine."His response stunned the doctor. It was unclear to him whether Christopher simply did not care about Talia or was ignoring her. Finally, he went into great detail about diet and lifestyle precautions.Christopher was impatient.Luke made it just in the nick of time and said, "Doctor, you can talk to me."The doctor went over everything again, stressing
Melody and Levian looked at each other. They knew exactly who the butler was talking about.Melody lifted her chin and ordered, "Bring her in."Evelyn walked in as the servants opened the doors.Although it was clear that Evelyn had made an effort to freshen up before arriving, it did little to conceal the traces of her rough journey.She had huge dark circles under her eyes and seemed utterly distraught. She appeared to have run herself ragged.It was obvious that life on the farm had not been easy."Good evening, Melody," Evelyn said after a servant led her inside.Melody presented a chilly demeanor. She neither offered Evelyn a seat nor gave her so much as a glance. She hummed indifferently as a response.To remain silent was the ultimate display of disdain. Evelyn's pride was severely wounded by this reply, especially when Melody stood dazzlingly before her. It was in sharp contrast to Evelyn's plain and unremarkable appearance. The stark contrast caused Evelyn to clench
Panicked, Evelyn quickly protested, "No, I didn't lie! I'm indeed unwell. Your men have been monitoring me doing manual labor in the countryside. Since I've been working nonstop, I can hardly move my arms. I will keep my promise tomorrow! I swear!"The news had already irritated Melody. Levian had cheered her up, but Evelyn had completely ruined it."What kind of nonsense is this?"Melody was irritated. She raised her hand coldly and ordered, "Butler, send security here and throw her back to the countryside."Evelyn's face turned pale. She gave it some thought and realized there was no way out of this predicament.Melody was adamant about having her wash her feet.She stopped the butler abruptly and said, "Wait! Don't leave! I'll get the water now!"The butler glanced over at Melody after hearing this.Evelyn clenched her teeth in desperation and pleaded, "I'll get the water now. Please don't send me away again!"She had lived a pampered lifestyle since young, the idea of goin
After this, Evelyn went home in a state of disarray.She went straight to her dad and started complaining.Benjamin had not seen his daughter in a long time. He was heartbroken when his daughter returned home in damp clothes and looked upset."What happened, Evie?" he inquired.At full volume, Evelyn cried out, "That bitch humiliated me! Dad, she's trying to ruin my life. You have to help me exact my vengeance!"Ben instantly recalled the results of his earlier attempts to deal with Melody. His face's expression hardened."And I will make her pay! Evie, don't cry. Go change your clothes."Benjamin comforted Evelyn by patting her on the shoulder, but he made no promises.His response left Evelyn feeling a little disappointed. She had suffered far too much humiliation. It would take more than words to comfort her right now.Dissatisfied, she stomped her foot and muttered, "Dad, you always say this. When are you going to finally confront that bitch? Despite knowing how badly she
Everyone at Nolan Enterprise became busier over the next few days. Historically, the last few weeks of the year would be the busiest.Melody had recently reorganized the business. The workers had to put forth their full effort if they wanted to keep their positions.All of the different departments had coordinated and planned ahead of time.The finance department was very busy around the clock.Melody had simplified many unprofitable projects. She demanded that the accounting team quickly submit analysis reports and liquidation tables for each project.Those working in the finance department had been working non-stop for days.Some of the long-time employees were unconvinced by Melody's leadership when she took over the business. They doubted her competence and experience in running the business.In any case, they no longer held the same view.It was widely agreed that Melody's petite size was deceiving. She was decisive and ruthless in her actions. She was just as capable as a
