His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 123: What Does a Country Bumpkin Know? 

With the end of the pizza parlor dinner, the conflict between Seth, Luke, and Lance also ended.

The next problem was who would send Melody back home.

The men didn't want to give way to each other, and Lance didn't dare to fight against Seth, but he could fight with Luke instead.

That was what he was thinking.

But Luke was a bold young man.

Although he might be afraid of Seth's powerful aura, if he had to choose between Melody and his fear, he would always choose Melody without hesitation.

Melody had no idea that she had become the focal point of a fight among the three men.

She didn't need them to teach her how to get home.

While the men were in a stalemate, Melody had already walked towards Luke's underground garage.

These parked vehicles were all Luke's properties, with the keys inserted into a dedicated key holder hanging on the wall.

Melody picked a motorcycle that was familiar to her, took the corresponding key, and hopped on the motorcycle.

Then, she turned around and waved at the boys.

"I'll go now, goodbye!"

Everyone returned to their senses as they saw Melody riding the motorcycle by herself.

It seemed that none of them could send her back.

After Melody got to the gate of the residential area by riding on the motorcycle, she looked up and saw a man under the street lamp at the entrance of the alley.

The man was leaning against the wall.

The dim yellow light of the street lamp fell on him, stretching his shadow into the darkness.

His cold and detached temperament made people notice him at a glance.

The engine roared.

Seth slowly raised his head and Melody's motorcycle stopped by his side.

Melody looked at the man with a faint smile on her face.

"You're quite fast!"

Melody exclaimed with a chuckle.She rode a motorbike while Seth walked.

He went out after she left, but he arrived here faster than her.

Even if he took a shortcut, he couldn't get way ahead of her without some skill.

Melody carefully stared at Seth and suddenly felt that he really was a bit unfathomable.

A faint smile appeared on Seth's handsome face as he stared back at her.

"Melody, do you want to take me for a ride along the way?"

Although Seth didn't smoke, his voice was extremely deep and had a magnetic charm, making people feel like they couldn't stop themselves from agreeing to him.

The moment she was stunned, Seth was already on her motorcycle, and his movements were even cleaner than hers.

By the time Melody came back to her senses, she could only start the motorcycle.

Melody arrived with Seth at the Harrison Residence.

She knew that Seth lived here, but she didn't know about other places where Seth would stay.

She could only send him here.

After they arrived, Seth got off the motorcycle without saying a word.

In the dark night, his eyes were as bright as the twinkling stars in the sky.

His gaze slowly fell on Melody and he muttered, "Thank you, Melody."

Melody found that she couldn't stand Seth talking to her with that kind of voice, which made people want to get closer to him.

Glancing at him, Melody turned around and drove the motorcycle before she disappeared into the night.

When Iven drove Lance back, Lance happened to witness the scene of Seth riding on Melody's motorcycle.

Lance despised Seth's behavior more than ever.

Although Lance didn't dare to openly resist his uncle, when he passed by Seth, he still ended up gritting his teeth in anger as he whispered nasty words into the air.

"Despicable!"

Lance spat.

Seth stared at Lance coldly.

Lance was so scared that his heart missed a beat.He grabbed his bag and rushed into the house. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Iven watched from the side.

He never expected that a person like Seth would one day cause public anger.

They had been discussing how to leave just now, but when they turned around, they realized that Seth was nowhere to be seen.

Iven said, "I didn’t expect that a big shot like you would do that behind their backs.""

lven crossed his arms around his chest and nodded at Seth, who was pretending to be serious.

"So Mr.Harrison, I think Lance is right."

Seth raised his eyebrows and looked at Iven with cold eyes.

A cold voice came out of his thin lips.

"Are you itching for a beating?"

Iven quickly shook his head in fear.His attitude changed completely.He smiled like a lackey as he looked at Seth.

"How can that be?" lven said after clearing his throat.

"I think Mr.Harrison is brilliant.I can't even compare to you and I will learn from you in the future..."

Before lven could finish speaking, a hint of impatience appeared between Seth's brows.

Seth said to him in disdain, "Get lost!"

Iven didn't dare to disobey, so he turned around and left.

The news that Melody agreed to attend the school anniversary event spread throughout the class the next day.

It wasn't the class monitor who spread the word, at least not directly.

He didn't want to offend Melody, but the school had a rule that activities like the school anniversary event and all the programmes of these activities had to be announced to the public.

When everyone found cut that Melody was going to sing, they were all stunned.

The woman who usually exuded a domineering vibe and often kept her silence in front of everyone was going to perform on stage and sing? Everyone could already predict that the scene would surely be jampacked.

When Reagan saw the news, she let out a haughty laugh.

‘What does a country bumpkin know about singing?’ she sneered inside.

Reagan was worried that she wouldn't be able to find an opportunity to crush Melody, But now she had the chance to embarrass Melody in public.

It was a good opportunity to humiliate Melody in front of everyone and let them know who the real daughter of the Sullivan family was.

Melody would never be able to steal Reagan's limelight ever again.

When he heard that Melody was going to sing, Luke was extremely excited.

His fingers were so flexible that he could play any musical instruments if he put his mind into learning them.

Previously, in order to train his wrist strength, he had also learned how to use the drums for a period of time.

Taking advantage of the time after class, Luke moved closer to Melody.

"Boss, can I go with you? I can be your own personal drummer.Do you remember? I know how to use the drums!"

If Luke were to perform alone on stage, he would not be willing to do so even if he would be beaten to death.

But following Melody's act on stage was different.

As long as he could follow the boss, he was willing to do anything.

Hearing Luke's suggestion, Melody didn't think there was anything wrong with it.She knew that Luke knew how to beat drums.

It was her who sent Luke to the training class back then after all.

In the end, this brat abandoned the class after a single attendance, and then he learned how to play the drums from tutorials online.

He did it better than anyone else after that.

It wasn't a big problem for letting one more person perform on stage.

Since Luke wanted to go on stage, Melody agreed.

"Okay!"

Seeing Melody nod, Luke was ecstatic.

"Thank you, Boss!"

As long as Luke had the chance to perform on the same stage with Melody, he would always be excited to the point that he found it hard to suppress the smile on his face.

Lance looked at their expressions from the side and disgust filled his heart.

He disliked Luke more than ever now.

Luke wasn't a kid, yet he still acted cutely and constantly asked for Melody's love and attention.He was really shameless, just like Seth, Lance's own uncle.

Luke could play the drums.So what?

‘What's so great about it?’ Lance huffed.

He decided to go back and learn how to play the guitar tonight.

When the time came, he would also go up on stage to perform with Melody.

'He can perform.I can as well!’ Lance scoffed angrily.

Melody’s phone on the table vibrated.She looked up and saw a message from the bank.
