His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 124: Take It and Spend It 

Melody passed the phone to Luke beside her and asked, "You transferred it?"

Luke was the one handling all her businesses.She did pay attention to numbers but she never bothered about money.

When Luke saw what Melody was referring to, he could not help but laugh.

"Boss, do you think I would transfer such a small amount to you? I'm not the one behind this.What could you even do with this small amount of money?"

After spouting mockery for genuinely thinking that it was funny, his thumb fiddled with the phone to check which person made the transfer.

The screen showed the name of the person who made the transfer.

Luke was stunned for a moment, thinking, ‘Oops’ His lips curved into an awkward smile as he cautiously turned his head to look at Melody.

"Boss, earlier...pretend I didn't say anything.Anyway, I was spouting nonsense"

Melody glanced took a glance and saw the words Sarah Sullivan had written on the screen.

She immediately understood what was going on.

She got up and took the phone out of Luke's hand on her way out.

A few minutes later, Sarah, who was in the middle of filming, heard her phone ring.

When she looked at the phone, she saw that the caller was Melody.She felt a bit confused.

"Mellie, shouldn't you be in class? Why are you calling me?"

Melody’s cold voice could be heard on the other side of the line.

"Why did you send me money?"

Upon hearing Melody's inquiry, Sarah instantly knew the purpose of Melody's call.She chuckled softly.

"The money was sent so soon? That's given to me by the production team as payment for participating in the variety show.Since you came with me to the program, you will naturally get half of the fee.Keep the money and buy anything you like.You don't have to save it"

Sarah's voice was filled with excitement.

"Mellie, listen to big sis, okay? Use all of the money if you can.Don't worry about me, your big sis is receiving plenty of endorsements lately.Just wait.

After I'm done filming all of them, I'll receive the endorsement fees and I can give you more.

Since she was close to Melody, Sarah wanted to share her happiness with her.

"I'm going to shoot the commercial first.Talk to you later!"

After bidding farewell, Sarah hung up the phone.

Tyrone was standing near her and heard the contents of their conversation.

He could not help but roll his eyes at Sarah, snorting coldly and mumbling rants.

Feeling Tyrone's vague anger, Sarah raised her head and looked at him with a smile.

She could somewhat understand what he was trying to say.

"My big wonderful manager, what's wrong with you? Your words are filled with thorns as usual.Did I do something wrong again? Why are you unhappy?"

Tyrone squinted his eyes, looking at Sarah with indifference and a bit of annoyance.

“You"

He paused for a bit, "I really don't know what to do with you.You only have a bit of money yet you gave it to your little sister.Melody is the fiancee of President Harrison.The money you gave your sister is just a penny for her.Why would she need your money?" Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Sarah knew that Tyrone was just feeling sorry for her so she did not blame him for saying harsh words.She responded with a smile.

"It's different.I'm Melody's sister after all.We're family by blood.Besides, she isn't married to Seth yet.It's not good to spend his money often"

She added another point.

"My little sister is also studying in an aristocratic school.Most of the students there are elites.Melody needs to have more money so others won't at least look down on her"

Sarah knew the school's situation best.

After all, where else did she graduate from if not from that school? As for the situation at home, she was even more aware of it.

Her father never cared about what was going on in the house while her mother didn't care about Melody at all.

Sarah did not need to think to know that Elizabeth never gave Melody any money.

Aside from not having any allowance, Melody had just returned from the countryside so she probably did not have a lot of money in her pocket.

The cards she was using might be from Seth but Sarah couldn't just let Melody keep using Seth's money.

Melody was not married to him yet.

Sarah was afraid that people would look down on Melody if she kept using Seth's money.

Since Sarah had her own ideas and Tyrone couldn't persuade her, he just let her be.

Another thought crossed Sarah's mind.

Her little sister, Melody, was much better than the other one, Reagan.

At least Melody knew how to help her.

Sarah thought that Reagan could drive her to death.She thought highly of herself and had always been condescending yet she was so thick-faced, daring to even ask Sarah for things that she wanted.

Every time they interacted, that attitude of hers never failed to push Sarah to the brink.She was really hateful.

Tyrone only perfunctorily agreed.

"Whatever.I don't care about you anymore.Hurry up and go back there.Finish your shoot.The director is still waiting!"

Even after hanging up the phone, Melody's eyes did not leave the string of numbers displayed on her phone.

Her brows were furrowed due to confusion.

Little did Sarah know that Melody knew the content of her contract with the variety show.

Melody knew that the fee Sarah received from the entirety of the whole episode of the latest show was the amount she received from Sarah.

Why would Sarah give it all to her and tell her that she only transferred half? The sound of footsteps came from behind.

Melody instantly knew who was standing behind her based on the sound of the footsteps.

She had been surrounded by all kinds of people ever since she was a child and out of all of them, it was only Luke who had never been far away from her.

Another one was her grandfather but unfortunately, he had left her side permanently.

"Luke, do you know what Sarah is thinking? She's the one who's short of money but she still gave it all to me!"

His Boss was really powerful.

She could even tell it was him without turning around.

Luke was not surprised at all.He was used to Melody's godly skills.

But faced with Melody's question, Luke could not answer either.

After thinking for a long time, Luke finally gathered his thoughts.

He expressed his opinion.

"Maybe she's just like me.Because you're family, I want to give you everything as long as it's good for you!"

Although Luke had always called Melody ‘Boss’ in Luke's heart, she was his only family.

If Melody lacked money, he would give her everything that he owned.

He thought that Sarah must also have the same mindset as him.

The words Luke mentioned replayed in Melody's mind.

"Because you're family, I want to give you everything as long as it's good for you!"

Melody asked herself, ‘Was that really the case?’ Although Melody had always been smart, no matter how long she thought of this question, she still could still not come up with a clear answer.

The school was going to host a school anniversary party.

But because it was exactly the tenth year anniversary, exactly a whole decade, it would be held in an especially grand manner.

The standards and requirements this time were particularly high.

Although five programs could be selected from each class, not all of the programs could be put on stage at the final stage of the school anniversary.

They would have to participate in the audition first.

Only the best performances would be chosen to go on the final stage.

Reagan was so confident that she thought that she did not even need to prepare.

After all, she had always been famous for her piano skills.

Was there even anyone who could compete with her? Many classes had agreed to give the period for self-study class to the students who signed up for the program so they could practice.

So when some students saw Reagan sitting in the classroom and answering the assignments, they could not help but ask her.

"Reagan, isn't the audition starting on Friday? Aren't you nervous? Why don't you go and practice?"

Reagan hadn't even said anything yet when her deskmate who had always been close to her answered the question for her.

"Reagan's piano skills are already so great.Didn't you see it when school started? It's just a normal audition and Reagan can just go and play something casually.She can easily win first place.There's no need for practice"

Although everyone thought, including Reagan, that what she said was reasonable, Reagan gracefully replied while acting humble.

"It's just that I haven't finished reading my textbooks.After I'm done with my homework, I will start practicing!"

When Reagan was a freshman, because she played a piano song during the welcome party, everyone came to know her as the pretty and talented pianist of the campus.

She was pretty, talented, and a daughter of a wealthy family.

Reagan was the epitome of an it girl, alright? Therefore, in just one day, Reagan was automatically crowned as the school's number one beauty.

However, she completely lost her title the moment Melody appeared.

Melody was even more impressive.She only showed her face.

Without a single word or a single action, everyone's eyes naturally fell on her.

With just her face, she directly became a goddess in everyone's hearts.

Now, the school forum was filled with Melody and Reagan.

The students were arguing about who should be the school's number one beauty.

Others argued that Melody's looks were perfect but some argued that Reagan was not only pretty but also talented and that her piano skills deserved a bonus point.

But since the two goddesses were going to participate in the school anniversary's stage, they would eventually be able to decide who was the victor.
