Once again, the family fell into silence. Cyril smiled to himself, but his expression was uglier than crying."It's my fault, all my fault. I've harmed so many people. Turns out, I'm the one who's a complete joke," he murmured softly, followed by some unclear words no one could understand.Melody could see that perhaps due to the tremendous shock, his mental state had become somewhat abnormal."Mel, it's up to you how to handle this. You have the final say," Linette said, her eyes slightly red.Although she felt guilty towards Cyril, a mistake was a mistake, and she couldn't shield him. She didn't want Melody to feel disheartened, either.Cold determination flashed in Melody's eyes as she stated decisively, "He broke the law and should face legal consequences."She was determined to send Cyril to the police station. And so, she called the police in front of everyone.The atmosphere in the living room grew heavy. Melody went to the garden to relax.A set of footsteps followed be
Melody, vexed by their argument, cut them off coldly. "Stop wasting time bickering! If you're going, then go!"Seeing her expression, Albert and Christopher immediately quieted down.The private plane soon arrived, and the three of them boarded together. During the flight to Mrauca, Melody wasted no time, continuously reviewing information about Organization V.Sitting on either side of Melody, Christopher and Albert seemed somewhat displeased with each other. In the presence of Melody, they restrained themselves.The plane soon landed in Mrauca.Irwin was already waiting there. He hurried to Melody, looking tense. "Miss, what's the plan now?""We split up. You take your men and watch over Organization V's stronghold, while I'll go find the head of Modish Group’s supplier," she ordered swiftly."Understood."Once given the command, Irwin immediately led his men towards Organization V's base. Melody, with a few of her subordinates and Christopher and Albert, headed for Modish Gr
"It'm not. I wanted to ask him how the commercial shooting went," Melody said. She leaned back and closed her eyes tiredly.Albert was still jealous, but he didn’t disturb her rest.They went to the hotel where Irwin stayed. Upon returning to their rooms, Melody and Christopher received a strange text message at the same time.[Exchange Isaiah and Ethan with Bolton Enterprise, Nolan Enterprise, and Singh Corporation.]Melody went out to discuss with Christopher. As soon as she went out of her room, she saw Christopher coming out of his."I got a text message," they said in unison.Christopher turned sideways and opened his door wider, then raised his eyebrows at Melody.She pursed her lips, then walked into his room.Inside, she curled her lips and sneered. "It’s definitely Organization V. They’re greedy, alright!" Christopher sat on a chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest. The frequency was consistent with the pointer of the platinum watch on his wrist. A dark lig
Melody glanced at Irwin.Irwin got the hint. He immediately nodded in understanding. While Melody was talking with Melissa, he casually fiddled with his phone. In truth, he was instructing his men to look into the relationship between Cyril, Leroy, and Melissa.Melody asked carefully, "Why are you interested in Cyril?"Melissa smiled, but there was no humor in it. "I don’t have to tell you that." Melody frowned. She could only look for another way. While observing Melissa’s expression, she said casually to Irwin, "By the way, Irwin. Remind Leroy about the shooting today."She noticed a slight change in Melissa's expression when Leroy was mentioned.The next moment, the door burst open and in strode Lant. Melissa’s eyes flashed, and she suddenly said loudly, "That’s out of the question! Give me the shares of the companies, or they die!"Melody was stunned for a moment. What was wrong with Melissa?She glanced at Lant, who had already sat down, and frowned. This was confusing.
Melody kicked Lant in the abdomen.Caught off guard by this attack, Lant staggered back several steps. His expression turned ferocious. He rushed forward, and threw a punch at Melody.Melody dodged; she bent and grabbed his waist, and threw him behind her.Melissa smashed the cup on the coffee table; she picked up a glass shard, and pressed it against Lant's neck."How dare you betray me?!" Lant roared. He glared at her, looking positively murderous, as if he wanted to kill her then and there.Facing his hateful eyes, Melissa sneered, "You’re wrong. You never own my loyalty in the first place."Lant's expression grew more and more terrifying as she spoke. He ignored the shard and tried to strangle Melissa, but Melody stepped on his arm before he could.Lant felt a bone-piercing pain; the shard on his neck pierced his throat, causing a tingling sensation. Panicked, he screamed. Melissa made a small cut on his neck without damaging his blood vessels. Seeing Lant so fearful, she
"Get him the best doctor—now!" Christopher said.Melissa became nervous when she heard Leroy's name. "What happened to Leroy?!""He’s poisoned, and is in the operating room," Christopher told her truthfully."What?!" Melissa's voice rose, and her eyes widened.She finally got the chance to meet her son after so many years, only to discover he was poisoned. The revelation was too much for her; her breathing turned unsteady, and she eventually fainted.Melody hurriedly laid her on the ground, and pressed her chest continuously.Christopher looked at her skilled first aid techniques, wondering. She looked like a professional. He wondered how many more secrets about she had in store for him, waiting to be revealed.However, Melody didn’t even look at him. All her focus was on Melissa.Not long after, Melissa coughed.Melody stopped, and sighed in relief. "Are you okay?"Melissa seemed not to have heard the question, instead muttering, "My son..."She looked miserable and sad. Su
Melody signaled to Christopher with her eyes; they left the ward together, leaving space for Melissa and Leroy."Have you found out who poisoned Leroy?" Melody asked in a low voice."Lant bribed a man who met Leroy in the orphanage to poison Leroy. He’s been secretly monitoring Leroy for some time," Christopher said slowly.So, Lant had already made up his mind long ago.Melody lowered her head to ponder for a moment, then spat coldly, "That man is cunning and insidious."Then, she turned Christopher. "If he knows Leroy isn’t dead, he’ll try again."Lant had lost Organization V, and he wouldn’t forgive Melissa for that. Thinking that, her expression became solemn. "Enough talk about Leroy. Let's talk about us." Christopher looked at Melody. "I didn’t know you can do surgery."Melody licked her lips after realizing she couldn’t hide it anymore. As she thought about how to answer him, Luke appeared. He had heard what Christopher said.Shit! Did Christopher find out that Melody
Christopher was jealous, but he couldn’t do anything now.He turned around, looking livid. His jawline was tense, and he gritted his teeth in frustration without making a sound.At the same time, Philip, far away on the Goska Island, was watching the sky thoughtfully. He had complicated feelings regarding Albert, who was involved in this mess because of him. After pondering for a moment, he took out his phone and called Albert.Albert's emotions were stable after being comforted by Melody, but he was down again when he received Philip's call. This was their first call in a long time.Philip's gentle voice came from the other end. "Al, how are you?"That familiar voice almost made Albert cry, but he held it back."I'm not your biological brother. You don't have to do this," Albert said calmly, trying not to sound aggressive.There was a moment of silence on both ends.Philip heard the frustration and displeasure in Albert’s words, and frowned slightly. "You’re still my little br
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
