Chapter 21 

One day, Melanie had in nnished preparing for Rising Star’s Spring Auction. 

When Melanie returned to the Harbour Villa, she saw a row of luxury cars parked at the gate from a distance with many men in black standing on both sides. 

After entering the door, Melanie saw Roderick sitting on the sofa in the hall as expected. 

Elias were nestling in Roderick’s arms and eating candy with Gary and Luke standing aside. 

“Mommy!” 

Elias rushed over as soon as he saw Melanie. 

“Mommy, I miss you so much. It has been three days. Why didn’t you come to see me?” 

Although Melanie was a little angry with Elias, she was still happy to see him. 

I’m really busy. Or you can stay here and I can see you when I get off work.” 

Elias became excited. 

“Great, great! Daddy will stay here, too!” 

Melanie refused Elias firmly. 

“No, your daddy has his own home. He can’t stay with us.” 

“Why? Daddy can live with Mommy,” Elias chewed the candy and said seriously. 

Melanie somehow became angry and then her voice also became severer. 

“No reason. Think about what you’ve done this time.” 

Hearing this, Elias immediately became depressed. Then he sat on the sofa and stopped talking. 

“Elias is just a kid,” Roderick, who had been staring at Melanie, finally said. 

Melanie glanced at Roderick coldly. 

“Thank you for sending Elias here. You can leave now.” 

“Mela.” 

Roderick frowned. Obviously, he didn’t expect Melanie to be so indifferent to him. 

Melanie ignored Roderick and went upstairs. 

“Gary, see Mr. Lambert off.” 

In the end, although Roderick left, those men in black still stood at the door uprightly. 

Chapter 21 

Melanie stood upstairs and looked at those strong men in black, feeling worried. 

Melanie thought, ‘It’s absolutely impossible to send Elias away. 

‘At least it’s impossible before I dispose of the three people of the Robertson family. 

Therefore, I have to find out the truth of Mom’s death first. 

I can leave with Elias and disappear only after handling all those things, just like seven years ago. 

After making up her mind, Melanie stopped worrying about the Lambert family. 

The Spring Auction was coming. Melanie didn’t have time to think about too many things. 

After playing with Elias for a while and putting him to sleep at night, Melanie went to the studio as usual. 

She stared blankly at an unfinished painting on the easel. 

Melanie had been blind almost every other day for the first two years since her accident seven years ago. 

But even so, her painting skills still had improved a lot. 

As soon as Melanie picked up the brush, Angie came in with milk. 

“Melanie, you’ve spent too much time on drawing these days.” 

“Yeah.” 

“Yeah?” 

Angie took away the brush from Melanie and put the milk on her hand. 

“Drink it and then go to bed. Do you really wanna be blind?” 

Melanie smiled and said, “How can you be so rude, dear Ms. Thomas?” 

“So what? I’m no match for you. Each of your paintings can cost millions of dollars.” 

“I’m a poor guy. I just sell my painting to pay for food and clothing.” 

Melanie laughed, looking rarely cute and lovely. 

“Stop joking.” Angie took the opportunity to hug Melanie and acted cute, “Melanie, I want to sleep with you tonight.” 

Melanie pinched Angie’s nose and said, “You are more clingy than Elias!” 

The next morning, Melanie got up early and was stunned by what she saw as soon as she got out her room. 

A deluxe breakfast was set on the table. 

Chapter 21 

Elias was sitting at the dining table and eating breakfast obediently. 

Just when Melanie was about to ask what happened, Roderick came out of the kitchen with soup. 

“Mela, come to have breakfast. I brought it from home in the morning.” 

Roderick looked at Melanie with a rare warm expression on his cold face. 

“What are you doing here? And don’t call me Mela. We’re not that close!” 

Melanie went back to the bedroom with a blushing face. 

She looked at her pajamas and almost went mad. 

Melanie thought, ‘Seriously? 

‘Why’s Roderick so idle? 

‘He brought breakfast here early in the morning and even cooked himself?” 

When Melanie got dressed up and went out, Roderick stopped her again. 

“What do you want? Just spit it out!” 

Roderick paused for a moment.. 

“Let’s have a talk sometime.” 

Melanie’s expression showed that she had nothing to talk about with Roderick. 

“I’ve already allowed your family to take care of Elias. What else do 

you 

want?” 

Roderick stared at Melanie with strange feelings in his eyes.  S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“I will wait for you downstairs Rising Star at six o’clock tonight. 

“If you don’t come, all the people in Beloris will know that you are my wife tomorrow.” 

After saying that, Roderick picked up Elias and directly left. 

“You bastard!” 

Melanie was furious. 

“What’s so good about the Lambert family? Not everyone wants to marry you!” 

Melanie really couldn’t understand it. With the Lambert family’s strength, they could find countless women and give birth to all kinds of children. 

But they kept pestering her and Elias. 

At this moment, Melanie didn’t know that there was another man she was gonna meet today. 

After coming to Rising Star, Melanie went through several documents.

Chapter 21 

Then she discussed with each department the catalogue of the Spring Auction. 

Soon, it was noon. 

Π 

Melanie was gonna have lunch with Angie. When she got out of the elevator, she saw Ryan sitting in a wheelchair with a bunch of flowers in his hand and looking at her with a smile. 

Melanie thought, ‘Looks like the engagement scandal didn’t affect him at all.” 

Speaking of Ryan, Melanie didn’t like him from the very beginning. 

Seven years ago, Ryan was a famous playboy. 

Ryan was handsome, and his father Owen Smith was a media tycoon. He was young and rich. 

As the eldest son of the Smith family, Ryan had been identified as the Smith family’s successor long 

ago. 

There were countless women who wanted to marry Ryan in Beloris. 

But somehow, Ryan proposed to the Robertson family after he accidentally met Melanie. 

This was what made Vanessa and Tracy want to kill Melanie. 

But somehow, Vanessa hooked up with William Smith, the third son of the Smith family. 

Melanie thought about those things coldly and looked at Ryan’s arrogant and confident expression. only feeling disgusted. 

But thinking of the news about the red pearls not long ago, Melanie agreed to have lunch with Ryan.
