His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 162: Here Are My Conditions 

Melody's two conditions were not difficult to accomplish.She crossed her hands on the table and looked at Quince with her cold eyes.

However, it gave Quince a sense of oppression, which made him involuntarily feel a sense of fear towards Melody.

"First, someone has to be responsible for this matter.And it's definitely not me, but someone from the student union.So I have to leave the rest to them," Melody stated.

Quince was a little hesitant.He knew that this might be the Jacobs family's limit.

The Jacobs family’s bottom line was to protect Zeke so that he would not be affected too much by the situation. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

As for how to deal with it, how much they needed to pay for this purpose, could only be handed over to the Jacobs family themselves.

After he gave it a thought, Quince nodded and agreed.

"Okay, I agree to this condition.Now tell me, what is the second condition?"

Quince was straightforward, therefore, Melody did not hesitate to say the second condition either.

"Give Sarah the benefits she should have!" Melody declared.

The children from the Sullivan family could receive a dividend from the Sullivan Family Foundation, which was arranged from the day they were born.

Compared to the Sullivan family's huge conglomerate, this amount of money was nothing.

But it was worth an entire year of salary for an ordinary family.

There were only two people in the Sullivan Family who did not enjoy this kind of treatment.

One was Melody, who grew up in the countryside, and the other was Sarah.

Sarah originally enjoyed a rich life at home, but after she was driven out of the Sullivan family, her benefits were taken back by Quince.

As he heard this condition, Quince was still a little surprised.He originally thought Melody would fight for these benefits for herself.He did not expect that she would rather stand up for Sarah than for herself.

However, as he thought of spending another part of the money and giving it to a useless and disobedient daughter like Sarah, Quince felt a little distressed.

But from Quince's point of view, the benefits that the Jacobs family would give him outweighed the sacrifice that he had to make to give Sarah the benefits she deserved.

"Okay, I promise you!" Quince compromised.

When she saw the other party agree so readily, Melody guessed that the Jacobs family must have paid a lot to achieve their goal this time.

Melody had seen the information that Luke found.

Zeke did not have any illegal record.

On the other hand, Melody’s younger sister in the Sullivan family was ambitious.

As she thought of Reagan's reaction in that afternoon, Melody finally understood something.

The only heir of the Jacobs family was a very sentimental person.

Quince felt he had already done everything.He was annoyed and did not want to see Melody's disgusting face anymore.

So he waved his hand to chase her away.

"Alright, you can leave now!" he ordered.

If Quince did not want to see Melody, Melody did not want to stay here either.

Before Quince could even finish speaking, Melody had already gotten up and left.

She was so arrogant that she did not even say goodbye to him.

Quince was so angry that he threw the cup in his hand away and it shattered, making a loud noise.

The bodyguards outside the door entered the door immediately to check the situation inside.

Quince had a dark face as he glared at the bodyguard.

"Call Assistant Sam and ask him to keep an eye on Melody.Don't let anything go wrong!" he instructed.

Although he knew it should not be leaked out, Quince still felt uneasy.

There was only half a month left.He did not want to cause any trouble.

After that, he would let everyone know who the true de facto leader of the Sullivan Family was.

Melody came out of the study.

When she walked to the corner of the corridor, she saw Sarah with her back facing her.

From Sarah's back, it could be seen that she was a little nervous.

Melody went forward and was about to call Sarah when she suddenly turned around.

Sarah was stunned when she saw Melody standing behind her.

A few seconds later, Sarah reacted.She rushed forward, grabbed Melody anxiously, and looked at her carefully.

"Mellie, are you alright? Did dad do anything to you?" she asked.

Melody's mind turned blank for a moment.She stared into Sarah's eyes and was lost in thoughts.

Sarah saw that Melody’s eyes were empty and unfocused.It was rare for Sarah to see Melody like this.

She was frightened and shouted anxiously, "Why aren’t you saying anything? Mellie, what happened to you?"

Melody finally came back to her senses and her thoughts were pulled back.She stared at Sarah differently, with a hint of her thought-provoking thoughts.

"I'm fine.Let's go home first!" she said.

"Are you really alright? I think I heard something shatter inside?" Sarah asked worriedly.

Then she looked at Melody uneasily.

Melody looked at Sarah seriously.Then she emphasized.

"I'm fine.He just threw things in the study."

After confirming it over and over again, Sarah finally heaved a sigh of relief.

She responded, "It's good that he didn't hit you.If he likes to throw things, then let him be.Anyway, the Sullivan family has a lot of money, so it must be nothing to him! Since you're fine, let's go.I'm afraid some people will come up with bad ideas and frame you if we stay here any longer!"

After Melody entered the study, Sarah went to find Reagan to find out more about the situation.

According to Reagan, Melody had offended the Jacobs family.

Therefore, Quince had to teach her a lesson and give the Jacobs family an explanation.

However, Sarah knew her sister well.

Melody might have a cold personality, but she would never take the initiative to cause trouble.

Therefore, she felt it must be that kid from the Jacobs family who provoked her sister first, but to think that he would even dare to complain first! Although she knew that it had nothing to do with Melody, Sarah also knew her father's character well.

Even if it were for Reagan, he would not care about using his daughter in exchange for some benefits.

Let alone Melody, whom he had never favored before.

Since the Jacobs family had visited in person, it must be related to the interests of the two families.

Considering Quince’s character, he would never hesitate to sacrifice Melody at all.

Therefore, Sarah was worried about Melody.

Now that Melody had emerged safe and sound from the study area, Sarah could finally relax her anxious heart.

As she saw Sarah hurriedly pulling her away but not forgetting to remind her to fasten her seat belt after getting into the car, Melody smiled helplessly.

She uttered, "Sarah, you're really acting like an auntie!"

Hearing this, Sarah looked at Melody angrily and acted like a big sister.

"You loathsome girl! You even dared to tease your big sister? Aren't you afraid that I will teach you a lesson later?"

Sarah questioned.

Melody nodded cooperatively and raised her hand to show her fear.

Sarah happily withdrew her hand and the two sisters happily left the Sullivan family's house.

When the two of them left, Reagan, who had been standing in the corner watching all of this from the shadows, slowly walked out.

She stared in the direction in which Melody and the others disappeared, her cold eyes were filled with deep hatred.

‘Acting like sisters in front of me.Did they really think that I will be envious?’ Reagan thought to herself.

How ridiculous! She thought that they were just two pitiful people trying to keep each other warm.

Unfortunately for them, she did not care about that warmth they shared at all.

Meanwhile, at Sarah's apartment...

As soon as they came back, Melody walked into the room directly and did not wait for Sarah to pull her away for a chat.

Sarah shouted anxiously, "Mellie, what do you want to eat tonight? Are we going out to eat or do you want to order takeout?"

Melody responded casually, "Do what you want!"

Then she added, "I have homework to do in my room.Just call me later if you need me."

Sarah only reacted after the door was closed.

'How did this Melody, who is normally too lazy to write notes become so diligent today?’ Sarah thought to herself.

No matter what, Sarah knew that she had to prepare their dinner already.

Since Melody wanted to do her homework, it was obvious that she did not want to go out to eat.

Sarah really wanted to cook for the two of them.But she did not even want to eat her own meals.So how could she let Melody eat her own cooking, if she did not want to eat them herself? To avoid hurting Melody's stomach, Sarah decided to order takeout.
