Melody wasn't interested in this piano at all.She only wanted to take a closer look.
So when she saw Elizabeth's scornful look, she sighed internally, feeling annoyed herself.She didn't
want to be stressed because of people like Elizabeth or Reagan.So she would just opt to ignore them
as much as possible.
Instead of responding to Elizabeth's furious rants, she decided to walk away.
Suddenly, she saw Reagan walking towards them.
Reagan smirked at her and looked at her with contempt.
Reagan hugged Elizabeth and sweetly exclaimed, "Mommy, you really love me! When you heard that I
was going to participate in the event, you got me an expensive piano! I love you so much, Mommy!"
Elizabeth hugged her daughter back, replying with a loud voice so that Melody could hear her clearly,
too.
"Of course! You're mommy's beloved daughter.I'd do anything for my sweet, beautiful daughter! Just do
your best in the competition and leave the rest to mommy" She said lovingly.
Seeing this, Melody's eyes darkened as she clenched her fists.
She coldly smirked at the scene in front of her, thinking to herself, ‘Reagan is her daughter?’
‘What about me?’
‘What about Sarah?’
‘What does that make me?’
Ever since the piano came to the Sullivan Family villa, the melodic sound of the piano had always filled
the halls.
Reagan would practice day and night in preparation for the contest.
The piano became Reagan's constant companion.She played the piano every chance she got.
Quince was lucky since he was always out of the house, which meant that he rarely heard Reagan's
horrible playing.
True to her words, Elizabeth just let Reagan do everything she wanted for the competition.
Unfortunately, Melody was the one who suffered the most in this arrangement.
She covered her ears as she lay on her bed, listening to Reagan.
It was awful, at least for her.
She couldn't help but frown and wish that she could rip out her ears.
Wasn't Reagan supposed to be a "genius pianist?’ Why couldn't she express the right emotions for the
music she chose? Melody knew what the song was, and it was supposed to be beautiful.
How could Reagan manage to make the song so unpleasant to hear? Melody was about to go and find
Reagan and make her stop.
Then suddenly, she heard a knock on her door.
She slowly got up to open it and just as she was about to reach for the doorknob, the door burst open
and revealed an energetic Sarah beaming at her.
Sarah went straight to the chair next to Melody's desk and looked at her excitedly.
Melody was about to ask Sarah why she was here when the latter suddenly interrupted her from
speaking.
"Melody! Hurry up and pack your clothes.Come with me.We're going somewhere!"
Melody looked at her in surprise.
‘What is she talking about? To where?!’ she screamed inside her head.
"Isn't your program on the weekend?"
Sarah realized that Melody misunderstood what she meant, so she quickly explained, "It's not the
program.I want you to stay at my house for two days.We're going to have lots of fun! My house is
closer to your school anyway.Hurry up and pack up.Let's go!"
Melody raised her eyebrows at Sarah, who only pouted.
"Why?" Melody asked in confusion.
"What do you mean why? We both know you're annoyed by that God-awful piano playing! I heard that
it was because Reagan would participate in the competition that she had been practicing like crazy.I'm
pretty sure that you can't concentrate on studying, right? Just come with me to my place and return
when the school anniversary event is over.
Today was Sarah's day off, so she planned to rest and have fun for the day.
That was why she decided to visit Melody and ask her to go outside, but when she entered the villa,
she immediately heard Reagan practicing the piano by the hall.
The sound echoed in the entire mansion, even in Melody's room.
Moreover, there was a soundproof room, but Reagan refused to use it.
She preferred playing in the hallway.She felt like she was already playing in front of an audience, in the
form of the servants and her family members.
‘She's delusional” Melody and Sarah both thought.
Sarah planned to ignore it, but when she overheard the rants and complaints of the maids, she realized
how crazy Reagan had been these past few days.
She quickly came to check on Melody, and true enough, the sound of the piano also filled her room.
It turned out even the basement of the villa was not spared! It was so noisy! Sarah knew that Melody
didn't like to be disturbed in her sleep or when she was resting.
If Reagan continued to do this, it would definitely affect Melody's sleep schedule.
For the sake of Melody's health, Sarah had to take her away from this noisy house! Besides, Melody
had just returned.
Aside from the Sullivan family, she had nowhere else to go.
With this, she wouldn't even think of escaping.
This was the only place she could call ‘home, even though, in reality, it was far from it.
Therefore, Sarah had to be the one to take care of Melody.
She had to take Melody away from this toxic environment.
On the other hand, Melody was in deep thought.
Just minutes before, she was about to go over to Reagan and make her stop her awful playing.
If she had done so, Elizabeth would have definitely kicked her out of this house.
Thankfully, Sarah came and stopped her from doing so.
She also offered to let her stay in her house for a few days.
When Sarah saw Melody standing silent with no response, she couldn't help but urge her again.
"Why are you still standing? Hurry up and pack your things! Let's go already!"
When Melody still didn't reply, Sarah thought that Melody was worried that she might cause her some
trouble, and so Sarah quickly added, "Don't worry.You'll be with me.Besides, I don't always stay at
home when I have to film advertisements.You won't bother me, I swear.So please, Melody, just come
with me, okay? Do it for your sister."
Sarah exclaimed as she pouted and looked at Melody with puppy eyes.She even clasped her hands
together as if she was begging.
‘Sister?’ Melody was taken aback by her words.
She immediately remembered the time when she found the piano by the hallway.
Elizabeth and Reagan got along so well in making her feel out of place and unloved.She and Reagan
were sisters by blood, but it was not like they were on good terms with each other.
And, of course, she was not related to Elizabeth in any way.
The only one she could truly feel at ease with was Sarah.And she was thankful for that.
After thinking it through, Melody quickly got her backpack and faced Sarah.
"Okay, let's go!"
Sarah looked at her with a questioning look.
Melody didn't pack any clothes or personal amenities.
Sarah figured that Melody was used to packing light.
After all, she would only bring a small bag that contained the bare minimum of items she might need for
two days and one night on the program.
Anyway, this was perfect! Sarah had always wanted to go clothes shopping with Melody! When the
maid reported to Reagan that Melody decided to live with Sarah for a few days, she didn't really care,
and the cold expression on her face remained.
Melody was an eyesore, so it was good news that Reagan wouldn't see her for the time being.
Melody had no place in this family.She should have left a long time ago.
Reagan was the real daughter of the Sullivan family.
When she found out that Sarah had gotten closer to Melody, she got angry.
Nevertheless, she chose to ignore it.
After all, she wasn't one to be envious, especially when her mother would give her everything she
wanted.
Besides, she didn't like Sarah at all! Meanwhile, Melody followed Sarah to her small apartment.
What she didn't expect was that someone was already in there.
Charles and Melody looked at each other in surprise before he broke their eye contact and asked
Sarah, "Why is she here?"
Melody stared at him coldly.
Her eyes were indifferent, and it made Charles a bit scared.
Ever since he was beaten up by Melody, he had been extra cautious whenever she was around.
He had been afraid of her ever since.
This woman was scary! She had the guts to hit him! Most importantly, after the incident, his parents
couldn't even punish or chase her away.
He didn't understand why his grandfather chose her to be the heir instead of him.
What was he thinking? Charles believed that he was the most qualified person to inherit the family
fortune and property.
But everything changed when Melody came along.She ruined everything.
But no matter how much dissatisfaction and anger he had in his heart, he was still afraid to confront
Melody.
He went over to Sarah and dragged her by the arm.
"Come with me for a moment"
Sarah couldn't refuse and just let Charles take her away.
She already knew why Charles came for a visit.It wasn't a good thing for Melody and her annoying little
brother to meet.
After they were out of Melody's earshot, Charles finally stopped walking.
He turned to face Sarah and glared at her as he crossed his arms.
"It's been tight for me these past few days.Give me three hundred thousand dollars immediately! It's an
emergency!"
