Christopher's face darkened with frustration, but he couldn't do anything about it. He shouldn't have trusted Melody earlier; he should have asked all the questions directly. There were still too many mysteries left unsolved.Why did she marry him in the first place? What was her obsession with that silk hand embroidery? Did she have some knowledge of silk hand embroidery?However, he quickly dismissed the idea. Melody had no knowledge of embroidery or anything similar. She was just an ordinary woman. How could she transform into a completely different person after their divorce?The anger he couldn't vent began to occupy his thoughts once again. He angrily punched the wall. "Shit!"He realized that he couldn't contain his curiosity about what she was hiding.—The intermission wasn't very long. After a short break in the lounge, the auction continued with great momentum. The host's voice echoed, "Please take your seats, ladies and gentlemen. The auction is about to continue."C
Christopher watched the two of them engage in lively conversation, exchanging words. Melody also used her body language as she talked animatedly. He could feel his own body radiating coldness, and it sent shivers down his spine.Ethan observed from the side, thinking that Christopher looked like a walking refrigerator.Christopher's gaze couldn't leave Melody at all. This woman was nothing but obedient during their marriage, but after their divorce, she wouldn't even spare him a glance.She was absolutely ruthless!—"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the surprise we've prepared for you. The car race is about to start. Please take your seats and enjoy the show!"All the male guests and their female companions had already seated themselves. Since the auction had left plenty of time, the addition of a car race only enhanced the excitement. It was also an excellent opportunity to socialize with more people.Looking around, the audience consisted of well-dressed men and women, presen
The girls looked at each other, their eyes filled with envy. To be so beautiful and have such a handsome guy accompany her, what a fortunate life!Melody was smiling happily, when she suddenly felt someone approaching from behind. She turned to see that Albert had moved to sit beside her."I was so bored sitting there alone. I wanted to be closer to you," he said.She chuckled, and allowed him to stay. She gestured towards Levian, and said, "See that guy in the black and red jacket? He's my third brother, and he dotes on me."Albert's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked somewhat uneasy. Melody was too absorbed in cheering for her brother to notice his subtle expression.Meanwhile, Christopher's face turned even darker. Watching Melody cheer for Levian was a thorn in his side. She had never smiled at him in such a genuine manner, so radiant and sincere.Ethan knew that Christopher was feeling jealous, and teased, "That guy’s pretty smooth, but women tend to like that type.
Afterward, she turned to Albert. "Here, this is my brother. You couldn't see him clearly from afar, but now you should get a good look, right?"Albert just smiled. Levian, upon seeing him, immediately straightened his posture. There was a brief flash of sharpness in his eyes, which quickly disappeared.The two exchanged glances, their expressions subtly nuanced. Neither of them spoke; they simply maintained this indescribable balance.Levian was the first to extend his hand. "Hello."Albert responded with a smile. "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you."The exchange seemed smooth and without any issues. However, the strange atmosphere they created didn't escape Melody's attention. What did it mean for them to look at each other for such a long time?Did they know each other?Melody squinted and asked, "What's with those expressions? You seem like you've met before. Brother, do you know Albert?""Of course I’d recognize such a handsome face," Levian replied playfully, a mischievou
Melody felt her heart racing the more she thought about it, but her expression remained stoic and composed.Levian's patience seemed to have run thin. He reached out to pull Melody, but Christopher skillfully dodged his attempt, and his face grew cooler."Bolton! Keep bothering my sister, and don't blame me for not being polite!" Levian snarled.Christopher paid no heed to his words. He didn't even spare a glance in his direction, instead focusing on Melody. He sounded confused as he asked, "Why are you resisting me so much? Have I done something to upset you? Is it because I took that embroidery piece?" The audacity he had to ask such a question! How should Melody respond? Should she recount the hell she had endured since she married into the Bolton family three years ago, starting from Christopher's betrayal when he held Talia in high regard? Or should she begin with how he continued to doubt her even after their divorce?Melody couldn't bring herself to speak, nor did she
"Huh...?"Luke didn't expect that his boss would still deny it to this extent. He turned to look at the embroidered piece placed on the back seat and asked, "Mr. Bolton, I remember you don't like silk hand embroidery. Did you buy this for Miss Melody? You've never bought useless items before."Luke thought his logic was impeccable, but he didn't anticipate the cold stare from Christopher. "Do you think you understand me well? I bought it for a reason, not as a gift!"Luke's eyebrows twitched, and he was rendered speechless.Apparently, the embroidery wasn't intended for Melody. They had managed to irritate each other to this extent, and they couldn't find a way to make her happy by offering this beautiful piece? With her personality, if she really liked this silk hand embroidery, she would surely remember the favor and find a way to repay it in the future. This could have given them a chance to get along.Luke couldn't stand how his boss was so slow to recognize his feelings,
The Nolan Family had a family tradition of safeguarding information about Melody, keeping it low-key and confidential. As a result, she didn't hold a press conference to address the media when she returned.She said solemnly, "The information won't leak. A brainless model from the event's organizing committee happened to gossip about me. I got annoyed, so I gave her a good beating.""You should tell me next time," Levian said."I got it.""As for that woman who dared to slander you behind your back… Which company does she work for, and what's her name?" "She's called... I think her name is Talia. I can't remember her company's name, but it's already been handled. Everything's fine now."Levian was visibly upset. For the past three years, he couldn't protect Melody properly, causing her to suffer so much. This had become a thorn in his throat that he couldn't remove. Whenever he thought about it, he was crushed with immense guilt.He cherished her dearly, and wanted to shield he
With her nerves on edge, Evelyn soon arrived at her doorstep. As she reached the front door, she sighed in relief. The moment she pulled her collar down to unlock the door, two burly men suddenly appeared out of nowhere and forcefully grabbed her hand."Ahhh! You... Mmmph!"Evelyn screamed in horror. The next moment, her mouth was swiftly covered with a towel, silencing her cries for help. The two burly men were too massive for her to resist; she could only watch in fear as they tied her hands tightly, feeling utterly powerless.Oh no...Despair engulfed her; this had to be Melody's retaliation! If they took her away, she might not even make it out alive.Evelyn still vividly remembered the sound when Talia’s wrist was broken, and the distinct crack of her bones. The memory sent shivers down her spine. She struggled desperately, attempting to find a way to escape.But the difference in strength was too great, and her struggles were in vain. The men dragged her away roughly, leavi
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
