Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Reagan glowed with satisfaction after Rachel's compliment.She wasn't wrong at choosing the right

deskmate, after all.

Reagan warmly smiled at Rachel.

After receiving her positive reaction praise, Rachel tried harder to please her...

And that meant talking ill of Melody.

"It's almost certain that the pride of our literary arts class, Reagan, is gonna win the contest.I can't

believe that someone who does not even have an inkling of talent would dare to participate.I hope they

don't embarrass Class 8!"

She exclaimed loudly as possible for everyone to hear the disdain and mockery laced in her words.

The people around them heard it, but no one dared to add to her words or talk back.

They were all afraid to get into trouble.

Everyone was scared, except for Lance and Luke.

When they heard this, they were both furious.

Luke greatly respected Melody.He wouldn't just let anyone insult his boss.

No one could insult and slander his boss' name and get away with it.

Lance and Luke stood up at the same time.

Everyone held their breaths and did not dare to speak as the atmosphere of the entire room became

cold and dangerous.

Rachel's eyes widened as she realized that she had just angered the two boys.She felt extremely

uneasy as she felt their cold gaze at her as if they were ready to punch her at another mistake.She

regretted saying those words just to please Reagan.

Rachel forgot that Melody didn't care about people talking about her behind her back.

But that didn't mean that the people who were loyal to her didn't care.

Reagan also frowned when she saw the two boy's reactions.

After all, Rachel was speaking up for her.

Lance and Luke didn't care if their opponent was a girl.

Anyone who dared to provoke and insult their boss would pay the price.

Lance glared at Rachel, clearly annoyed and irritated at her.

He lifted his finger to point at her as he spoke with a dangerously low voice.

"Did you sign up?"

Rachel was too scared to speak.She looked down and refused to look at him in the eyes as she shook

her head.

Lance sneered at her cowering figure.

"Who do you think you are? You had the gall to talk shit about our boss when you didn't even

participate in the contest? Garbages shouldn't dare to speak and criticize others when they haven't

done anything worth being proud of."

As soon as Lance finished speaking, Luke immediately added, with the same furious tone in his voice.

"Oh, come on.Of course, she doesn't have the courage to do so.Just look at that ugly face, as thick as

plastic."

He smirked.

"Really, really shameless"

Luke snickered at her trembling figure.He knew that Rachel wouldn't talk back to refute him since it was

the truth.

The whole school knew how shameless she could be just to get Regan's favor.

"Hey Lance"

Luke added as he looked at the equally furious man, "you know what they say, ‘Ugly people cause the

most troubles: I didn't believe in that saying until I saw her face"

He laughed as he pointed his finger at Rachel.

Lance wasn't the type of person who would always speak up, especially against the opposite sex.

It was due to his upbringing that he was more quiet compared to Luke.

When Rachel heard Luke's words, she felt the courage that she had built up suddenly collapse.

All that she wanted to do was to cry.

She wanted to talk back, but she was afraid to aggravate the already furious Lance.

Moreover, it seemed like the new top student was harder to deal with than she imagined.

Who knew what he would do if she provoked him further? She faced Reagan and looked at her, silently

begging for help.

But as she did so, she found out that Reagan continued to focus on the book in front of her and

seemed like she didn't care about what was happening around her.

Reagan continued to concentrate on studying and twirled the pen on her fingers, completely

determined to ignore Rachel.

Rachel was distraught.She thought that Reagan would at least have her back.

But now that she left her hanging, Rachel regretted what she said about Melody.

She didn't know that people would defend and protect her.

Meanwhile, Reagan pretended that she knew nothing of the incident.

She didn't want to offend Lance, and she would definitely not offend Lance just for Rachel.

Rachel remained quiet as she tried to stop herself from crying.She lowered her head as she felt and

heard the stares and ridicules from everyone around her.

Moreover, this time, the class monitor even intervened.

Truthfully, the class monitor didn't really care about Melody, nor did she have a good impression of her.

But because of this incident, her opinion changed.

It seemed like Melody was far from the girl she imagined...or at least, she was less difficult to deal with

compared to Rachel or Reagan.

She stood up and said to her classmates, "When people insulted our class, we got discouraged from

entering the contest for the school anniversary event.But honestly, it was Melody who took the initiative

to step forward and protect the honor of our class.Not only did she encourage other students to sign

up, but she also decided to participate in it! We should be thanking her, not insulting her"

"As for the ranking, it doesn't matter she continued."The most important thing is to participate and have

fun.As the class monitor of class 8, I hope we can all convey our gratitude towards Melody."

When the class monitor was finished speaking, she faced Melody and thanked her.

One by one, each student followed suit.

Some were even cheering and gave her a round of applause.

The words of gratitude and applause were like a slap on Rachel's face.

She was extremely embarrassed, but she still didn't dare to move or make a peep.

On the other hand, Melody was still fast asleep, ignorant of what was happening around her.

In the face of these rumors, Melody didn't need to handle them on her own, not when Luke and the

others were willing to stand up for her.

On the other hand, Reagan was silently listening from her seat.

She was trembling in anger when the people changed their attitudes towards Melody.

In her eyes, Melody deliberately schemed this incident just to go against her and make her out to be

the villain.

She glared at Melody, eyes full of resentment.

She gripped her pen in her hands as she thought to herself, ‘Melody wants to steal the limelight from

me.

I swear I'll never let her get what she wants.

Not if I can help itt School had finally ended, and Melody was having trouble pushing the clingy Luke

away from her.

Thankfully, she managed to do so and went home to the Sullivan villa alone.

Melody was extra tired today.

All she wanted to do was rest and have a good night's sleep.

As soon as she entered the villa, a group of servants came rushing towards her and tried to cater to her

needs.

She quickly avoided them.

A frown formed on her face as she hurried to walk further into the hall.

After a few seconds of walking, she came across a piano in the middle of the hall.

The piano looked beautiful, especially with the beautiful golden light shining above it.

Melody slowly walked towards it and stopped before she carefully reached out her hand to feel the

smooth surface of the instrument.

The piano looked well taken care of.

It was clear that it was cherished.

As her hand hovered a mere inch on the piano, an angry voice suddenly interrupted her.

"Don't touch it!"

Melody turned in the direction of the owner of the voice, only to find Elizabeth glaring at her a few feet

away.

Elizabeth continued to shoot daggers at Melody, and she could definitely feel the resentment and

disdain from her eyes.

Suddenly, Elizabeth spoke up, "Don't carelessly touch that piano with your dirty hands.That piano is

expensive.Not only is it created by a world-renowned artist, but it is also antique.It's priceless, do you

understand?"

"Besides, you don't even know how to play the piano, do you? What if you break it?"

Melody glanced at the clear label of the piano.

‘Browning's Piano, she whispered to herself.

This was indeed worth at least a couple of hundred thousand dollars since it was custom-made! But

since it was antique, this could be sold for millions! She sneered as a cold, dark expression flashed on

her face.

She looked at Elizabeth, eyes filled with ridicule.

Seeing this, Elizabeth scoffed at her, feeling more disgusted by her by the minute.She prepared this

piano for Reagan since she was participating in a contest for the school anniversary event.

The Sullivan family was one of the directors of Sanguine High.

Because of this, Elizabeth knew how important the school anniversary was.

If her daughter, Reagan, could win the most anticipated contest, she would naturally steal the attention

of everyone.

She might even attract the eyes of excellent partners for marriage.

Of course, she would do her best to help Reagan shine at all costs.

Before Reagan was born, she desperately hoped for a son.

She even went to a fortune-teller to ask when she could give birth to the next successor of the Sullivan

family.

The fortune-teller told her that as long as she kept Melody away, she could give birth to a boy.

Nevertheless, the prophecy wasn't fulfilled.

In addition, she was told that Reagan was her lucky star, and now, only good things would come her

way.

And sure enough, in the next year, she finally had her only son, Charles.

Because of it, her position in the Sullivan family became more stable and secure.

Everything went smooth-sailing.

The fortune-teller was right.

Reagan was her lucky star.

The only thing she could do to maintain it was to keep the bad luck away as far as possible.

The bad luck had a name.

It was Melody.
