Melody had no clue that someone was eagerly looking for her. After she chased Benjamin and his family out of the Nolan Manor, she was busy rebuilding the greenhouse and working on the new project.It was another fulfilling day.Outside the greenhouse, Simon, who was in casual wear, approached Melody. "Miss, the new flower seedlings you ordered have arrived. We can plant them today."Melody’s late father used to have numerous channels to acquire rare and exotic herbs for her late mother. Fortunately, those channels hadn’t been cut off. As such, Melody was able to collect all the seeds she needed within a week."Thanks, Simon. I appreciate it."Melody changed into her casual outfit. Standing outside the greenhouse, she wondered about her mother's reaction when the previous greenhouse was built.Was she happy?Looking at the greenhouse, Melody felt like she had traveled back to the past.The gardener Belinda had dismissed was rehired. When he saw that Melody intended to do everyth

After Melody presented her invitation and entered the hall, she focused her attention on the paintings on display.Albert accompanied her with a smile. "Let me know if there’s any painting that you like, Mel. I’ll pay for it."Every time Albert participated in such events in the last three years, he often wished Melody would be by his side. Now that his wish had come true, he wouldn’t miss the opportunity to show off.Melody tapped his cheek teasingly. "No way! I’ll pay myself. The painting’s for my father, so it has to be me."Albert was a bit upset to hear it. He was aware that everything he achieved was due to Melody’s kindness. Despite having less than a fraction of her assets, he still wanted to repay her. Just as Albert was about to speak, a voice came from beside him."Are you Albert Scott?"It was Maynard Clark, a well-known Chinorian movie director. He approached Albert enthusiastically, and the men shook hands. Excitement was written all over Maynard’s face. "When I

Everyone stared at the man who had walked in.Wrapped in a bone-chilling aura, he approached them like an incoming storm. The shadows between his brows and eyes gave him a harsh impression of superiority. Everyone he passed by could feel the pressure. Christopher’s face was full of gloom. He had disappeared for only a few minutes—he didn’t expect something to happen in such a short time. His gaze passed over everyone, and finally rested on Melody."Chris, right on time!"Olivia smiled proudly. Her son was finally here! She wanted to see how long Melody could remain arrogant.Different from her glee, Natasha averted her eyes in fear. She keenly sensed that her brother was angry, and silently moved toward Talia for protection. However, her subtle actions immediately grabbed Christopher’s attention."Very good, Natasha. Tomorrow, you’re going back to school and to brush up on your manners,” he said icily."B-But...""Be quiet!"Natasha wanted to explain, but she swallowed her

What?!"How is that possible? You’re Dylan Collins!"Natasha couldn’t believe her ears. Though she refused to accept the results, she couldn’t very well doubt Dylan and accuse him of taking Melody’s side. He was close to her brother, after all. "Little girl, art has no limits. My late teacher painted this. He named it, Floating Life Between Heaven and Earth. He painted it at the end of his life. He was so ill, but that didn’t bother him the slightest. I don’t think I can match his zeal—nothing can compare to him,” Dylan said.Having heard Dylan’s explanation, the crowd was impressed."So that lady was right! Wow, she knows so much!""The other lady claimed to be an expert, but she didn’t know that at all. She has the gall to mock people! That lady knows more than her!""Honestly, do you really think she’s from the boonies? She looks more like the young mistress of a wealthy family.""If I were her, I’d apologize. Shame on her!"Dylan stroked his beard gently, his eyes now o

"Mom! Mom, are you okay?"Natasha immediately pinched her mother’s hand, her face ashen with fright.Olivia struggled to catch her breath, and soon opened her eyes. She didn't have fifty million dollars!She quickly turned to tug on Christopher's sleeve. "Son! Can you help me pay? Fifty million isn't too much for you, right?"Olivia looked at her son with anticipation. They were blood-related; she was sure he wouldn’t heartlessly refuse her!To her dismay, he remained seated and didn't move. His face was ominously dark."Please, I’m begging you! I really can't afford fifty million!" Olivia went on."Brother..."Natasha was about to beg, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was silenced by his icy, piercing gaze.Seeing Melody and Albert in the distance, Christopher felt a lump in his chest and a throbbing headache."Mom, I warned you before. You're an adult, and you need to take responsibility for your actions."Having said that, he pushed the door open and walked out.
