The person on the other end allowed his voice to trail off, upsetting Olivia in turn. "Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me already!"The person on the other end chuckled. "We just received word that Melody got into a car with an old man, looking all mysterious… Who knows what they're up to?""With an old man?!" Olivia appeared disgusted right then, as if her very ears were defiled. "Hah! That wretch is truly brazen!"So, Melody was not satisfied with a young stud and now wanted a geezer too?! Curse her! That bumpkin pretended to be all sweet and docile at home, and Olivia was sick to the stomach at the thought that Melody was once her daughter-in-law!It was such an insult to her family!"You're not making a mistake, right?" she asked. "Where have they gone?""West side of the city, at the outskirts. We're still following them, but we can provide a location in real time," the person on the end said."Send it already!" Olivia snapped as she picked up her handbag off the tab
Olivia held an umbrella with one hand and kept her cape over her shoulders with the other as she looked around in disgust.She had been carefully tailing them, taking detours and hiding behind corners, almost running down a pedestrian at one point. It certainly took effort to finally reach this place!Contrary to her expectations of catching them red-handed at the hotel, she found in surprise that Melody picked a grave for her date with the old man!The bumpkin was really crazy! Even so, despite Olivia's fortune teller recently telling her to avoid sinister locations, she had to come to expose Melody. She would repay every grievance she suffered at Melody's hands by personally tearing her pretentious self apart!With that in mind, she cast a sideways glance at the pair standing in front of the gravestones. Still, the man with Melody was somehow familiar…Though Olivia's disposition was nothing to boast about, she had attended important events as Christopher's mother from time to
"Stop, Frederick!" Melody snapped coolly, cutting him short.While Olivia was flushed down to her neck, Melody's beautiful face was staunch, though the air around her seemed to turn cool just then.Frederick was actually stunned—Melody was really angry now!"What?!" Olivia reared her chin, demanding in disdain despite flinching a little from Melody's glare. "Everything I said is the truth, isn't it? Or are you trying to argue against that?"Melody simply sneered in turn. "You were saying I bewitched your father-in-law, but where's the proof? Come to think of it, you claim yourself to be the sole lady in the Bolton household and his legitimate daughter-in-law… but you're nowhere to be found when he was admitted to the hospital, were you? You were off playing cards and meeting some fresh-faced youth, having no intention of caring for the old man, weren't you?"She spoke with composure, but her words were filled with sharp, prickly barbs. And she certainly struck Olivia where it hu
Everyone was surprised as they turned to find a man in a black baseball jersey striding toward them.His skin was fair and his figure towering, while his handsome visage was brimming with rage. He made a beeline for Melody, putting an arm to shield her behind himself.As Melody locked eyes with him, his gaze seemed to say: "It's alright, I'm here now."Frederick breathed a long sigh of relief in turn—he was aware that Levian would return, but certainly not so soon.Be that as it may, now that he was back, no one would dare to bully Melody now!On the other hand, Olivia's eyes widened so much they almost popped out of their sockets. Still, she completely ignored being called a mongrel, as her only concern was Levian calling Melody 'Mel'.The man was as good-looking as he was well-dressed, making it clear that he was no average Joe. If anything, he looked like he came from riches!Still, Olivia was furious despite her surprise—things were worse than she thought, but she was also
Melody was actually stunned for once. Levian had a bad temper even for a rich kid, but he actually cared to keep up appearances. If anything, this was the first time Melody had ever seen him getting physical!Still, she had no intention of stopping him. Olivia deserved it!After all, she had suffered every day for over three years because of that woman.Olivia had once forbidden her from using the washing machine to wash her wool coat in the middle of winter. Even though Melody ended up suffering from frostbite the next day, Olivia scolded her for being careless!When Jonathan gave Melody some pocket money, Olivia promptly took it from Melody and lost it all on gambling. When Melody tried to reason with Olivia nicely, Olivia punished her, forbidding her from eating for the entire day.And in the middle of the night, she would always be woken up by Olivia, who demanded massages. There was this one occasion when she was really enfeebled from a fever, but Olivia blamed her for bein
"Curse this weather… Oh, crap!"With the breeze buffeting him in the graveyard, Ethan was too preoccupied with holding on to his umbrella that he missed the puddle in front of him. As he stepped on it, droplets of muddy water splashed and splattered over his expensive shoes. "Oh, hell… these aren't stain-resistant!" Ethan grumbled as he took out some tissues to wipe his shoes.He had actually been enjoying himself abroad, only for his mother to send an ultimatum, forcing him to return to visit his grandmother's grave. To make things worse, the weather had to be so terrible on the day of, and it drizzled so much his shoes were dirtied just from one moment of carelessness—after he was so careful! Still, the price of the shoes was not what hurt most—it was the fact that they were a present from his new girlfriend. The babe was going to throw a tantrum if she found out…That being said, he still had to pay his respects to his late grandmother.Ethan threw the tissues into a bin, lo
On the other side of the cemetery, Olivia's mood was the complete opposite. She was practically fleeing as she stumbled on her way out, not daring to look back in the slightest.Levian did not hold back at all, as Olivia's entire face was swollen and red, with several bruises scattered around. Her delicate eyeshadow was smudged from the rain, her perfectly braided hair now a total mess as well, and even her diamond-encrusted hair stick had snapped in half.With her shawl drenched and her high heels covered in mud, no one could ever tell that this was the old Mrs. Bolton at all. At first glance, most would just take her for a madwoman running about.Olivia ignored the odd stares she received, simply finding some kind of shelter to avoid the rain as she dialed Christopher's number.The voice on the other end of the line was cold and calm. "What's wrong this time?""I was beaten up!" Olivia cried hysterically. "Oh, Christopher! I was being bullied the whole time! I just caught that b
Melody did not speak, still staring at him with frosty eyes. Ethan caught himself right before his jaw dropped to the floor, amazed yet sighing deeply. "Oh god, I didn't think I'd ever be so blind! How could I have not guessed? You're Melody Nolan… Your last name is Nolan… So… you're Ms. Nolan…"Levian seemed unimpressed. In his opinion, not only was Ethan blind, but he was not the brightest of the bunch either.'How could he not tell just from Mel's beauty alone?'Melody avoided the question and instead raised her eyebrows at the man. "Do you have a lot of free time to be asking such nonsensical questions? Don't you have anything better to do?"After all, Ethan was one of Christopher's best friends, and he normally put up an unserious attitude. Hence, she did not really like him all that much. At the very least, it seemed he had better logic than Christopher and was able to figure her identity out.Now that she had been found out with no other way to cover it up, Melody decided
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
