His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 202: ‘Innocent’ Girl Speech In Class 8...

Whenever the last subject arrived, it would always be a self-study session.

Those who wanted to study would stay while most of the students who signed up for the performance would go to the practice room and train.

Ever since the school announced how big the scale of the anniversary this year would be, everyone practiced and wanted to do their best, secretly striving to gain fame from their performance.

Because of the incident with Jaz Scotch, plenty of girls changed their impression of Melody.

Their fangirl hearts overpowered their inexplicable fear of approaching Melody.

Lately, some of Melody's classmates even dared to take the initiative to converse with her.

"Melody, is your team not gonna practice? It’s already late.If you go any later, there won't be any practice room left!"

Melody didn't even bother raising her head as she replied, "We don't need to!"

The same set of people asked Melody similar questions every day so by now, they were used to Melody’'s attitude.

After getting a reply, they wouldn't insist anymore.

Besides, Melody had always been like this ever since she joined Class 8.

At first, they were unhappy.

But later, they found out that it was just the way Melody was and, eventually, they didn't fuss about it anymore.

When Reagan and her good friend, Devian, were leaving the room, they happened to hear the conversation between Melody and the others.

After they walked out of the classroom, Devian had a frown on her face as she said, "Reagan, your sister doesn’t have a good attitude!"

Devian was Reagan's new best friend after Christine left.

Just like Christine, Devian was also a young miss born from a wealthy family.She had a dignified aura and a pretty face which was just icing to the cake to her top-notch skills and talent.She was like a graceful swan when she danced ballet, captivating and elegant.

Reagan's socializing skills were really brilliant.

Ever since she was young, Elizabeth had been bringing her to various social functions.

Gradually, she became proficient in befriending rich young ladies like Christine and Devian.

When Devian talked about Melody, Reagan had a careful expression on her face as she whispered tactfully, "Devy, don't think too much.My sister is just not good at socializing.My grandfather sent her to the countryside when she was a child.She grew up there for most of her life and she only returned recently.Perhaps, she hasn't adjusted yet!"

Hearing Reagan ‘defend’ her sister, Devian harrumphed.

Her face was filled with disdain as she replied, "You really think so? A country bumpkin suddenly entered the city.Perhaps she thinks that she’s like Rapunzel who turned out to be a princess so she looks down on everyone!"

The elites had their social circle so Devian had naturally heard a thing or two about the Sullivan family.

Devian's mother was also friends with Elizabeth.

Naturally, she only knew bad things about Melody and felt contempt towards the latter.

Reagan didn’t say a word, only sighing silently.Her eyes were misty, displaying sadness and helplessness.

Seeing Reagan's pitiful expression, Devian realized that she might have said the wrong thing.She quickly consoled Reagan.

"Reagan, don't take what I said negatively.The two of you might be biological sisters but that doesn't mean the both of you are on the same level.Everyone knows that you're the only real daughter of the Sullivan family.You're the well-educated missy who grew up in a wealthy family since childhood.A commoner like Melody naturally couldn't be compared to you.Don't worry, Melody wouldn't be arrogant for too long!"

There were only two things that mattered to Reagan.

One was the recognition outsiders had for her.

Two was everyone knowing that the Sullivan family only had one real daughter.

She tactfully nodded but ‘defended’ Melody again, "Devy, don’t say that.Melody is still my sister after all.As long as she restrains herself a little bit, it's enough for me.I also hope that she wins first place for this year's anniversary.As long as it makes her happy, I can do anything!"

Devian looked at Reagan with a worried expression, feeling distressed on the latter's behalf.Her dislike for Melody only grew stronger.

"A certain person said her team doesn't need to practice, but to pass the audition, she used an unknown method to suppress the student union.Look at how she sticks to Lance.She must've made

him ask the Harrison family to interfere and help her with what she wanted."

No one believed that Melody had the power to make the Jacobs family back down.

They privately discussed that the Harrison family must have been the one who dealt with the whole matter.

Their conclusion was, ‘Melody only won against the student union because of the powerful Harrison Family"

In public, they believed that these people only pretended to like Melody.

As she thought of Lance, Devian couldn't stop herself from complaining.

Initially, she had a great impression of Lance.

However, he unexpectedly fell for Melody and followed her all the time every day like a loyal dog.

And because of this, Devian's impression of Melody subconsciously fell to rock bottom.

"Reagan, don't worry.We're all on your side.One day, even Lance will see that country bumpkin's true colors.When that happens, Lance will personally deal with her."

Devian didn’t even bother calling Melody with her actual name.

In her opinion, Melody didn't have the honor to be mentioned by her.

Reagan lowered her head as if pitifully thinking about Devian’s words.

But in reality, her eyes were cold and filled with a venomous look.

Did Lance even matter? The main point was to let Seth see Melody's true colors in front of Seth, Lance was nothing.

Seth was the real ruler of the Harrison family.He was the one who stood at the top of the pyramid.

Unexpectedly, her grandfather was so biased.

Not only did he leave all his assets under Melody's name, but he also arranged for Seth to be her fiancé.

But the worse thing was...the Harrison family actually agreed to it! If it was someone else, they might have just wanted the Sullivan family's property under Melody’s name.

However, the Harrison family's wealth could rival a small country’s wealth.

Even if the Sullivan family's total net worth was multiplied by ten, they still couldn't compare with the Harrison family.

So the properties were definitely not the reason.

As Reagan thought of that, she felt angry.

She suppressed her anger and said, "Devy, let's go practice the piano."

Devian also noticed that Reagan wasn't in a good mood.

But she didn't take it to heart.

After all, who would be happy for having a jinx as a sister?

"You're amazing, Reagan! Your piano playing skills are unrivaled.The champion title is definitely yours! No one can steal your limelight!"

An embarrassed smile was displayed on Reagan's face.

"Devy, don't forget that your ballet is also amazing!"

Devian had a proud look on her face.

"Don't worry.I'm not interested in this championship.When the time comes, I'll tell my supporters to vote for you!"

Devian was famous and had plenty of supporters within the school.

"Thank you, Devy! You're so kind to me."

Reagan's face was full of smiles.

But if anyone looked at her expression closely, they would notice the coldness in her smile.She must definitely take this victory! Melody's new music score was finally ready.She sent the copy to Luke and Lance.

As she sent it, she said, "Practice the new scores when you have free time."

Luke happily shook his phone, "Don’t worry, boss.The song that you made is definitely amazing."

Lance, who was still looking at the music score, was shocked.He might not have deep knowledge in music, but he could still feel how powerful the song was once after seeing the score.

Not only was the melody and rhythm superb, but the artistic conception of the lyrics also didn't lose out.

It was ethereal and domineering.

There even seemed to be a killing intent behind the rhythm.

The musical scores evoked a mysterious and domineering vibe.

Lance simultaneously looked at Melody and the score.

"Boss, you really composed this yourself?"

Melody didn't even have to reply as Luke said, "Why is that a question? Who else could compose such an amazing piece if not Boss? You're so ignorant."

Hearing Luke's answer, Lance also thought that Luke's answer was logical.

After all, Melody was so excellent, she could definitely do anything. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

However, he still couldn't accept Luke belittling him even though he complimented Melody.

With a whoosh, Lance abruptly stood up while glaring at Luke, "Idiot! Who do you think you're scolding?!"

Luke instantly replied, "I'm scolding you for being ignorant!"

It was quite clear that they were about to start another fight.

Before anything could happen, however, Melody stood up and walked out to prevent her ears from suffering.These two must have been enemies in their previous lives.
