Melody was furious after hearing the gossip and stormed over to the women who were talking.
She
sneered. “I was wondering where that foul smell wasing from. Turns out someone’s just jealous!”
One of the women red at Melody. “We’re just telling the truth. Unless the person involved has something to say, who are you to butt in? Don’t be someone’s puppet. Who knows what dirty tricks she pulled to get close to Mr. Sumner!”
“If you’ve got what it takes, gond yourself a Sumner not, shut up! And if you think N isn’t that pretty, why don’t I buy you a mirror so you can see what you look like?” Melody shot <b>back</b>.
“You!” the woman snapped,
Melody tilted her chin up defiantly. “You what? Why don’t you go repeat every word you just said to Mr. Sumner’s face and <b>see </b>if he still lets you loudmouths keep your jobs?”
The woman opened her mouth to retort, but her friend pulled her back. “Forget it. Let’s go.”
The woman shot Melody a cold <b>look</b>. “You’ll regret this!
Melody crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. “Oh, I’m so scared. What, you gonna bite me<b>?</b>”
Seeing the woman’s <b>anger </b>re up again, her friend quickly dragged her out of the cafeteria.
Only after they were out of sight did Melody turn back to N. “Don’t let them get to you, N. They’re just jealous.”
N’s expression remained calm as she replied, “Let’s just eat.”
They had barely sat down with their food when N’s phone buzzed.
She looked down to see a photo from an unknown number, but she immediately recognized the person in
the picture–Damon
His back was a mess of blood and raw wounds, and the sight made her <b>gasp </b>in shock. She jumped to her
feet.
Melody, startled by the sudden movement, looked up at her. “N, what’s wrong?”
“I have to go,” N said hurriedly.
Half an hourter, N arrived at the Sumner residence.
The maid’s face darkened when she saw her. “Ms. Jayston, you need to leave. <b>You’re </b>not wee here.”
“I need to see Mr. Richard,” N said firmly.
“He won’t see you,” the maid replied.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.
N’s expression turned icy, and she let out a <b>cold </bugh. “Are you sure you don’t want to check?”
