Chapter 9

作者: Melon Seed
As my assistant helped me out of Steven's car, she asked worriedly, "Melody, the marriage between the two families isn't even settled yet. Why did you lie to Steven and provoke him? What if he gets so angry that he ruins your engagement? What will you tell Mr. Quintero then? He'll definitely take back everything you have now."

I rubbed my arm, which was red from Steven's tight grip, and smiled. "Because an arranged marriage was never what I wanted. Going from one man's daughter to another man's

  • Ten Years Too Late   Chapter 9

    As my assistant helped me out of Steven's car, she asked worriedly, "Melody, the marriage between the two families isn't even settled yet. Why did you lie to Steven and provoke him? What if he gets so angry that he ruins your engagement? What will you tell Mr. Quintero then? He'll definitely take back everything you have now."I rubbed my arm, which was red from Steven's tight grip, and smiled. "Because an arranged marriage was never what I wanted. Going from one man's daughter to another man's wife won't give me real power in the Quintero family. What I want is to throw everything into complete chaos."Just as I expected, Steven launched a ruthless attack on the Blackwoods the very next day. He was willing to hurt his own company if it meant taking down the Blackwoods.Blackwood Group and Palmer Group reported each other for tax fraud and tax evasion. They also exposed problems with each other's products.Both families tried to win me over and get me to help them destroy the other sid

    "Melody, what did you just say? Please explain!" Steven's eyes were red as he grabbed my hand before I could close the car door. He desperately waited for an answer."Mr. Palmer, it's none of your business." I spoke coldly before telling the driver to close the door without hesitation.The door slammed against Steven's hand. The pain twisted his face, but he still refused to let go.Even after the driver pulled away and the car had gone a long distance, Steven kept chasing after us.His broken sobs came from behind us.Through the rearview mirror, I saw the proud and distant man I'd once known kneeling on the ground and crying. "Melody, please. Don't marry someone else. I really can't lose you."Even the driver looked slightly moved by the scene.I only glanced at him calmly before taking out Titan Capital Group's annual report and reading it carefully.Peter's help had never come without a price.He had more than a dozen illegitimate daughters like me, but only one of us could eventua

    I was still alive.The moment the fire broke out, the version of me from ten years in the future had cried in despair. "Melody, are you really going to give up on yourself, too?"The tear rolling down her cheek brought me back to my senses.I didn't need to care about those people anymore. If I loved myself enough, I would always have the strongest love in the world.Once I realized that, I desperately called a number I hadn't dialed in 20 years.It belonged to the father who had tricked my mother into becoming his mistress even though he already had a family. He was Peter Quintero, one of the most powerful investors in Valdoria.His bodyguards arrived just in time. They quietly rescued me from the burning hospital room, saving my life.And now, I was standing before Steven once again.Steven burst into tears of joy.I calmly pulled my hand away and frowned slightly. "I don't know you."Steven's eyes turned red. He looked at me desperately. "Melody, I've already divorced Natalie. I al

    After Steven grabbed Natalie by the throat, she weakly slapped his arm and stared at him with red-rimmed eyes. "Steven, don't you think that's ridiculous? You were the one who ordered everyone to hide the truth from Melody. You were the one who kicked her and caused her to miscarry. And you were the one who signed the surgical consent form yourself. How dare you blame me?"Her words shattered him. For a moment, he could barely stay on his feet.Aurelia's eyes suddenly widened.She picked up the surgical form from the floor and asked in a trembling voice, "Natalie, how could you do this to Melody? She grew up as an orphan. All she ever wanted was to have a family of her own. How could you be so cruel and take away her chance to ever become a mother?"Natalie laughed even harder. "You think I hurt her? Didn't you say she was nothing but a homewrecker? Weren't you the one who kept defending me and pushing Steven to send her to a psychiatric hospital? So why are you blaming me now?"Aureli

    When Steven heard the news, he was at the mansion playing with the baby alongside Natalie.Aurelia stood nearby, happily watching them with a relieved smile.Steven frowned in annoyance. "How much did Melody pay you to go along with her little act? Tell her to stop causing trouble. Otherwise, she'll be stuck in that psychiatric hospital forever."With that, he hung up.Aurelia pressed her lips together, looking troubled. "I don't understand. Melody used to be so kind and sensible. But these past few years, she's become like this. One minute she's threatening to jump off a roof, and the next she's trying to burn herself alive..."She thought about how everyone had lied to Melody for ten years.Her voice trembled as she continued, "We only kept the fact that she was the homewrecker from her for ten years. How could that have turned her into this?"Steven froze.Then he suddenly roared in disbelief. "Why did you tell her about those ten years? Don't you know her mother killed herself by s

    When I woke up in the hospital, Steven was holding my hand tightly.I instinctively pulled my hand away and quickly covered my stomach.Steven froze for a moment before slowly lowering his hand. "Melody, I know we lost the baby, but don't be sad. We'll have another one someday."My hand froze against my stomach.I forced a smile. "Steven, you're lying to me. Our baby already had tiny hands and feet. How could our baby just be gone? You're lying!"I broke down and grabbed whatever I could reach, throwing it at him. I wanted him to admit that he was lying.Steven let me kick and bite him.Then he slowly injected a sedative into my arm. "Melody, you're not in a good state right now. Get some sleep. You'll feel better when you wake up."When I woke up again, Natalie and Aurelia were already standing beside my bed.Aurelia saw the emptiness in my eyes and sighed. "Melody, do you think your baby is the only one who suffered?"Natalie got pregnant with Steven's baby on your birthday ten years
