Melody could puke with Talia's vulnerable maiden act.Turning back to Christopher, she smiled coolly. "Yes, I have a gold card. But did I have to inform you about that, Mr. Bolton? Also, I don't want to be harsh, but I'm the one who saw the necktie first. Slander is against the law, you know!"Talia was certainly terrified, but started sobbing again as he leaned against Christopher, "You've already ruined my wedding, Ms. Nolan! Isn't that enough?! Why won't you stop harassing me? I was willing to give you the necktie, but you had to force me to kneel… This is too much…"Then, tugging at Christopher's sleeve and presenting her cheek, she said, "See? She even slapped me."Everyone was left raising their brows—did that woman have a few screws loose?!Christopher was getting annoyed with Talia's constant bawling too. Before this, he would have sympathized, but his trust in her had hit rock bottom after the mess that was their wedding. Moreover, he did not come for Talia and did not
Christopher believed he was right.The way Melody was always so sweet with Albert made it clear they were not recent acquaintances!An extramarital affair had been the only thing that crossed his mind before, but judging from the details, Albert must have been in a relationship with Melody even before Christopher and Melody got married!He was not just a lover—he was a former flame, while Christopher was a rebound who knew nothing about that.The thought of Melody loving Albert so dearly and purely left Christopher clenching his fist—she was making a fool out of him!Further away, the outlet employees all were eager to watch the men fight. Still, they were afraid to get caught, so they kept their distance, craning their necks for a look.On the other hand, Melody really felt that Christopher had lost his marbles and wanted to slap him twice just to knock some sense into him. "Haven't you had enough?!" she snapped, walking up to Albert right then. "Don't you know your place, Mr.
Melody left without looking back, her velvet heels clicking against the concrete floor as she returned to the Louis Vuitton outlet.The menager and the employees were waiting at the entrance and greeted her warmly the instant they saw her. "Welcome back, Ms. Nolan. We have everything boxed up for you…"Melody nodded and then walked straight toward Luke. "Buzz off!"Luke flinched from her outburst, but seeing that it was Melody while his boss was not around, he promptly let go of Albert.She was glowering even as she took Albert's hand and told the outlet employees, "Carry my stuff to the car."She moved briskly and without hesitation—even though she was wearing a full-length dress, she gave the feeling that she was wearing a leather jacket. She was not strutting either, but she was thoroughly imposing.The manager could feel his blood pumping from the drama, and Luke was even more dumbfounded.Was this cool beauty really the former Mrs. Bolton who always looked terrified?Did s
Melody was about to speak when she heard a car engine roaring, and she turned to the external rearview mirror.Seeing that they were about to crash, her muscle memory kicked in and she straightened, snapping at Albert, "Put your seatbelt on!"Then, she spun the steering wheel and floored the gas pedal in a split second.In the other car, Luke had his hands together as he repeated Hail Mary endlessly, afraid to even open his eyes!Beside Melody, Albert had no idea what was happening but reacted quickly by putting on his seatbelt and grabbing the safety handle.Melody suddenly spun the steering wheel, and the cars barely scraped past each other, kicking dust and smoke into the air.It took a while for the dust to settle, but the victor was already decided.And when the cars passed each other, she spotted Christopher's cool visage with the corner of her eye, leaving her fuming. "He's crazy!"On the other hand, the violent collision Luke expected never came.He opened his eyes, fe
Melody reached home early, so she changed into her pajamas and took a nap. After a good rest, her rage and frustrations eased considerably.When her maids noticed that she had woken up and looked like she was prepared to go out again, they smartly opened the changing room and brought her a selection of clothing and accessories.There would not be a woman who would not get jealous if they saw her wardrobe. There were not just high fashion designer clothes, but also the handsewn work of famous designers. Levian himself would also import exclusively designed dresses from abroad, some of which were priceless.After some thought, she picked a light purple halter neck gown which bore her back with a perfect angle that presents her fair back and stunning figure.Her black hair was combed to one side and slightly curled to accentuate her dainty face. With her stiletto heels, she stood bright and dazzling.Picking up her Burberry plaid bag, Melody had just strode out the front door when sh
Beside them, Jojo Liston, who had her hair tied in a bun, was sighing in awe. "Yeah, your skin is so fair and smooth. Not even La Mer works for me.""What do you use, Eve? Come on, tell us your secrets."In reality, Evelyn had been laboring in the boonies and had clearly developed a tan, while her skin was starting to get rough in patches.The ladies' flattery got to her head nonetheless. "Just something I bought on a whim. I don't notice brands…"She basked in all the fawning, as if she would really become a princess heiress admired by one and all.Clapping on Jojo's shoulder with a fawning smile, Lynette exclaimed, "Oh, we'd never measure up to Evelyn. She has good genes and we'd never beat that… who knows, you might not even be able to afford it even if she told us!"Evelyn was certainly buoyed by the flattery and raised her hand to cover a shy smile, 'inadvertently' flashing her Chanel bracelet at them. "Oh, you're always teasing me, Lynette. My cousin is the proper heiress o
As the guests huddled across the lobby of Radiant Hotel, exchanging toasts and greetings, Albert tactfully escorted Melody into the hall.Bracing against the probing looks, he whispered to Melody with a bright smile, "There's a lot of jewelry on auction tonight. Tell me if you see anything you like."Melody smiled. "What, are you buying one for me? Then—""I'm sorry." Just then, a middle-aged man approached them and cut her short tactlessly. "Mr. Scott, the organizers would like a word."Albert recognized the man and turned with an upset glare. "Does it have to be now?"The middle-aged man nodded. "They asked. I'm just the messenger."Albert was certainly left fuming. It was more than having his conversation with Melody interrupted—he had finally managed to return to the country and would like to spend more time with her.But he had no choice—having signed a contract, that meant he had an obligation.Melody could actually see his mood sour, and she smiled in amusement, clapping
Natasha had come dressed and prettied up for the occasion, with every intention to steal the spotlight.But Melody had to be there to steal Natasha's thunder, and her retort only left Natasha exploding!"Hah!" Natasha snorted. "Don't think I wouldn't know. You somehow got your hands on my brother's itinerary and came here for a 'chance encounter'! Your paltry schemes won't fool me, bitch!"Melody was speechless—these siblings were strangely confident that the world revolved around him.But she was not about to baby them.Rising to her feet and elevated with her stilettos, Melody abruptly towered over Natasha, as if she had not overshadowed Natasha with her imposing presence already. "You can ask the organizers how I made it here. I have zero interest in the rotten like you and your family, while you came to mock me as soon as you saw me."With a cool gaze of contempt, she then stared pointedly at Natasha's overly flamboyant dress and the layers of jewelry she wore. "Or are you pe
Luna nodded solemnly.Levian smiled, and rubbed her head. "Thanks for considering. I appreciate it."He took out his phone, and typed something.Luna watched curiously, and leaned forward to take a look. She was stunned when she saw that he had posted their photo on Facebook.She said quickly, "Delete it before they see it!"She regretted telling him that.Levian put the phone back into his pocket, and hugged her. "Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry."Luna understood his intentions, and said nothing."I promised you I'll never let you down. That's not the reason for you to be my secret lover. I don't have to please my fans. I'm rich. I'm a professional racer, not a gigolo."Levian words sounded so sincere, Luna was touched. She raised her head to look at him, stood on tiptoes, and kissed his lips.Levian was stunned. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled. "You amaze me, Luna.""Huh?" Luna looked at him confusedly."You’re brave enough to kiss me now."She blush
The sales assistant grabbed the old lady’s hand, and demanded, "You must pay for this dress!"Levian grabbed the sales assistant's wrist, and threw her to the side. The sales assistant staggered a few steps away due to the force."That’s not how you should talk to an elder."Luna stood before the old lady, and looked at the sales assistant coldly.The commotion attracted the crowd. The sales assistant looked panicky."It’s none of your business!" the sales assistant yelled, staring angrily at Luna and Levian.Luna blocked the old lady from the sales assistant's sight.The sales assistant observed them, and said sarcastically, "Tourists, huh? Mind your own business."Levian stared coldly at her. The sales assistant was frightened by Levian’s gaze."It seems your parents didn't teach you good manners. I don't mind teaching you today," he said coldly.The sales assistant shuddered. She had seen all kinds of people in the store, and could feel the pressuring aura of Levian.Her
Luna and Levian saw him, and smiled.After noticing their gaze, McCain's expression returned to normal. He walked toward them casually."Luna, did you sleep well last night?" he asked with a gentle smile.Luna was disgusted by his smile, and responded coldly, "Yeah."Levian grinned playfully, and said, "How about you? You looked tired."McCain’s smile froze. He looked a little panicky, and made an excuse to leave. "It's almost time. Let's find our seats."He left quickly afterward.Luna stared at him coldly. McCain looked weird to her."Why are you staring at him? Charmed?" Levian asked. He seemed jealous.Luna looked at Levian, and smiled, "Yeah, by you."Levian’s smile widened.McCain left the building and called Matt, but Matt didn’t answer. He gripped the phone, tightly and cursed under his breath.-A spotlight shone on a man, who walked to the stage under applause.Luna also clapped."That’s Gerald Bell, the president of Bell Group, the leading Group in Franconia,"
Luna opened the door, and saw Levian leaning against the door frame with a helpless expression."What's wrong?"Levian shrugged. "The door lock of the smaller bedroom is broken. I can't get in."Luna glanced at the smaller bedroom, then looked at Levian suspiciously. "You didn't break it, right?"Levian immediately retorted, "Of course not!"Luna stared at him doubtfully.Levian touched his nose, and said in disappointment, "I'll take the sofa, then."Luna pondered, and whispered, "The master bedroom is enough for both of us."She couldn’t bear to let Levian sleep on the sofa in the living room. Besides, she trusted him.Levian smiled, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead. "Thanks, Luna."Luna blushed, and her heartbeat accelerated. She was curious, how did Levian know that?Levian put his arm on Luna's shoulders, and entered the master bedroom."You go take a shower first," he offered."Okay."Luna walked to the bathroom with her clothes. Not long after, the sound o
Benito looked at Juan, and winked at his subordinates. His subordinates walked toward the Hellers."I want to know who sent them," Benito commanded in a deep voice.The Hellers were terrified, and spilled everything.One of Benito's subordinates walked to Benito. He nodded politely to Levian, and reported in a low voice, "A man named McCain sent them."Levian's expression changed.He knew it!"What should we do with them?" Benito's subordinate asked.Benito looked at Levian, and asked, "Levian, what do you say? I can keep McCain under custody.""Teach them a lesson, and make them cooperate," Levian said with a dangerous grin. "As for McCain, I have a plan for him."He looked at Luna in the car. McCain would never take the risk if he actually had feelings for Luna and cared for her. He wondered if he was McCain's target, or if this had something to do with the business summit."Okay," Benito said. He turned around and commanded his subordinates, "Take care of them and make the
The cemetery was ahead."Levy, they slowed down," Luna said. She frowned, confused.Levian quickly turned the steering wheel, and made an emergency 180-degree turn.Luna quickly grabbed her seat belt and closed her eyes after seeing the bright lights from the car tailing them. She then looked at Levian in confusion, wondering what he was up to.She was terrified when she saw Levian drive toward that car. They were going to collide! Suddenly, she heard a sharp friction sound, and both cars passed by each other.Levian turned the steering wheel again and circled around that car.He smiled and assured Luna, "Don't be afraid, Luna. Everything will be fine. Trust me."Immediately, Luna was calm.The driver of the car tailing them seemed irritated by Levian's provocation; he sped up, and tried to slam into their car.Levian grinned; he sped up as well, and drove away from that car.The driver seemed to realize something; he quickly slowed down, and turned around to drive out of the
Luna carefully poked Levian's arm.He grabbed her hand, and quickly pulled her toward him, "I'm your boyfriend."He gritted his teeth. No one knew how much he wanted to punch McCain when he saw that slimeball approaching Luna.Luna grinned, amused. "He's just a friend. You're my sweetheart."Levian was the best! No one deserved her attention except him.Hearing that, Levian was pleased and smiled. He put his hand against Luna's palm, their fingers intertwined.The driver suddenly braked when passing through an alley, and their bodies leaned forward."What happened?" Luna asked. She looked anxiously at Matt, the local driver she and Levian hired."Something ran through just now," Matt explained while unbuckling his seat belt. "I wonder what that was."He left the car and walked around.Luna heard a meowing, and saw a black cat pass by. She pointed in the direction, and asked, "Was it that cat?"Matt looked in the direction of her finger. "I don't see any cat. Probably a stray
Levian looked handsome and gentle under the spotlight. He took the microphone, and said slowly, "It's my honor to deliver my speech today. This summit brings together business talents from all over the world..."Levian kept his eyes on Luna as he spoke, and she concentrated on his speech.They noticed each other's gaze, and smiled.McCain tried to chat with Luna but noticed her gaze. He bit his lip, jealous. He quickly took his phone, and showed it to Luna, "Hey, Luna, I found the emails."Luna was too focused on Levian's speech, so McCain’s interruption annoyed her. She grabbed it, and read the emails. While Luna was reading the email, McCain looked at Levian and smirked. Levian's expression changed, and he spoke faster.Luna briefly read two emails. They were McCain's remarks about music, and how much he missed her. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn’t find any confession.Still, she was a bit moved by the memories. She returned the phone to McCain, and said, "Than
Levian and Luna turned around, and saw a tall man with blond hair and blue eyes."You look so beautiful today! It took me a while to recognize you."He observed Luna as he spoke.Luna frowned, uncomfortable with his gaze, and asked politely, "Do you know me?"That man was a stranger to her."Oh, don't you remember me?" The man clutched his chest as if he was hurt, and sighed. "I'm McCain. We were in the same music camp for three months, when you were seventeen."Luna thought for a while, and finally remembered him. She nodded, and smiled politely. "Oh, yes. It’s nice to meet you again.""I'm so glad I come. It's good to see you again." McCain smiled happily.Levian stared at McCain with a frightening expression that hinted at anger.Music camp, huh?He could sense McCain's intention.Luna noticed Levian's expression, and said to McCain politely, "The party is about to start. Let's take our seats."She wanted to leave, but McCain blocked her way. "I missed you so much. I l
