His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 17: Just What Kind of a Family Was This 

Not long after Melody left the room, Mr.David ended the banquet and said that he wasn't feeling well.And because he was sick, everyone had to leave.No one knew what had happened.

They were already blazing with curiosity about the disaster star of the Sullivan family.

But now that this had happened, it only added more fuel to their curiosity.

They all asked the Sullivans directly and wondered if they would ever be given an explanation.

Reagan followed her mother and the others to the car.

Moments ago, Reagan was still smiling and had a welcoming aura.

But the second that the car door closed, her face turned as black as the devil's. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Mommy, the Sullivan's have finally emerged from the limelight today.They say that the Sullivan family has an extraordinary big shot.There are rumors outside that this time, Mr.David will agree to our offer.Mommy, don't you think that our family is particularly powerful? It's all thanks to Melody, who helped us"

She tilted her head as she smiled at Elizabeth.Her eyes were full of mocking, and her tone of voice was so shrill that it was annoying.

Melody was also in the car, but she was sitting at the back of the RV in the corner.Her face was covered by a hat, so no one could see her expression clearly.

She rested her head on the side of the car as if Reagan wasn't talking about her just now.

Reagan saw that Melody ignored her.

She became so angry that she stomped her feet and glared at Melody.

Reagan was exaggeratingly going to die from anger.

It wasn't enough that her spotlight was stolen by Melody but now she even lost a bit of dignity because of her.

Reagan glared at Charles, hinting at him to speak.

Although the siblings usually didn't have a good relationship, it was different now because they had a common enemy.

After Charles got the hint, he immediately changed his expression to look disgusted.

"It was completely embarrassing! If we don't get Mr.David's chip, then won't we become the joke of the entire city? Then Melody for certain is a jinx, a reincarnation of a disaster!"

Elizabeth allowed her two children to criticize Melody.

They were right, even she felt humiliated today.

Even after she dressed up and attended a party, the topic around her would always be about Melody.

Indeed, she was a real jinx.

From the moment Melody appeared, there was no longer peace within the Sullivan household, it was nothing but chaos.

"I want to throw her back into the countryside." Elizabeth thought bitterly.

After hearing the word "jinx", Melody slowly took off the hat and revealed her face.A pair of big, black, and bright eyes gaze fell on Charles.

When his own eyes met Melody's gaze, his anger faded and his heart nearly gave out.He shrank into a size that was enough to hide behind her sister.

Reagan glanced back at Melody with disdain for Charles's reaction.He couldn't overcome her chilling gaze.

"What?"

Reagan faked a smile, "We're family, can't you take a joke? Don't be angry, Melody.Besides, Charles didn't even say anything wrong.When Mr.David chooses a partner, the Sullivans will really lose their dignity within businesses!"

Melody's expression didn't change even when the two siblings banded together.

"If you'll be embarrassed because you won't get the partnership, then why bother following someone to the toilet?" She asked in a bored voice.

Instantly, Reagan's entire face turned pale like she was panicking.Reagan didn't expect Melody to know about this.She was worried that Melody would put her on the stand.

Even if the people present were only family members, she didn't want anyone to know what she did.She could only lower her head and silently admit defeat.

Even after all they did, they couldn't even hurt Melody.All she had to do was glance at them and use a simple sentence to knock them out.It was a sharp contrast in this one-sided battle.

Earlier, Reagan made a plan so that she would be noticed by Mr.David.She bribed a waiter into letting her into the bathroom and followed him to the toilet.

But in the end, Reagan was chased out.

But Melody somehow found out about this.She originally thought that it was an interesting subject and decided to keep it to herself.

But Reagan annoyed her, so Melody gave a little warning to shut her up.Quince noticed that something was wrong between the three of them.

Melody rendered Reagan and Charles speechless.

‘'Is this girl really that powerful?'’ Quince could only glance at Melody who sat in the corner.

She was very stubborn.

Just like everyone else, he was curious about how she was close with Mr.David.

They seem to have a good relationship.

"What if?" he thought.

A glint flashed across Quince's eyes as he fell deep into his thoughts.

The car stopped in the Sullivan manor.

Melody woke herself up without anyone needing to do it for her.She got out of the car without bothering to look at the other Sullivans.

The expression on her face didn't change at all.

Reagan stomped her feet indignantly, "Oh, Mommy! Daddy! Just look at her!"

Elizabeth scowled.

‘'Melody was too outrageous! It's like she wasn't raised well and she hardly cared about anyone!’'

If it wasn't for Quince, then Elizabeth would have taught her a lesson already.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Quince finally spoke up.He stopped her before Melody could step through the door.

"Melody, stop right there!"
