While on their way, Sarah suddenly received a call from her mother, Elizabeth.She asked where they
were and how long it will take them to arrive.
Before Sarah hung up the phone, her mother asked her one last thing, "Is Melody with you? Is she
coming here?"
Elizabeth especially emphasized.
Sarah answered that Melody was with her.
Though, she was confused by her mother’s sudden interest.
After Sarah hung up the phone, she turned her head to look at Melody, her eyes still filled with
confusion.
She remembered the conversation she had with her mother over the phone and started asking Melody.
"Mellie, why do you think Mommy is so concerned about us this time? And she keeps asking if you
want to come over? How strange!" She pondered.
However, Sarah didn’t hear any response from Melody.
Then, Sarah answered the questions herself, "Maybe it’s because my relatives saw that you haven't
come back for a long time.Since you weren't really involved with the Sullivan family before you came
back this year, they must be excited to see you.I think they missed you."
Sarah continued, "Old people really want to see their descendants united, right?"
Sarah kept talking, but Melody didn't respond the entire time.
Sarah was already used to Melody's personality.
Sarah didn't think much of it and continued to say a few words from time to time.
Melody just ignored Sarah.She leaned against the side of the car door lazily with her eyes half-closed.
The setting sun reflected on her white and fair skin.
It was so beautiful beyond belief.She sneered at herself.
A tinge of mockery appeared on her lovely face.
‘Miss her? Did they really miss her?' She thought.
She remembered what Sarah said.It was so ridiculous that she could only hope.
Anyway, it didn't really matter for her, right? After more than half an hour of driving, their car finally
stopped at the door of the Callahan family.
The Callahan family was just an ordinary family.
But because Elizabeth married into the Sullivan family, the Callahan family became the Sullivan family's
solicitor.
The sons and daughters of the Callahan family used this marriage to gain benefits from the Sullivan
family.
They gained status and progressed from a small and ordinary family to one of the wealthiest families in
their place.
The other members of the Sullivan family have already arrived at the place.
Quince and Elizabeth both brought their sons, Reagan and Charles.
The four of them were waiting in their respective seats.
Sarah glanced at them and smiled bitterly.She turned her face to Melody and said softly, "Mellie, Do
you see them? They're more like a family, don't you think $0?"
Comparing Quince's group to Sarah's group.It seemed that Sarah's group was the one that was out of
place.
Sarah wanted to comment, but she decided not to do so in the end.She wanted to say this but chose
not to.She was worried that Melody would be sad if she heard it.
After all, being rejected by her biological parents must be too painful for her.
She had endured for so many years.
Naturally, Sarah didn't want her sister to suffer anymore.
Melody nodded and agreed with Sarah.
In her opinion, Sarah was right.
The four people did look like a proper family.
They were all jackals of the same tribe! Reagan saw them arrive.
However, she did not greet them immediately, nor did she tell Elizabeth and the others.
She secretly tugged at Charles's sleeve and motioned him to look over the front door.
When Charles saw them, his eyes lighted up with excitement.
They were here, she was finally here.
"Mommy, look over there.The jinx is here!"
Charles pointed at them.He called Melody a jinx.
Elizabeth put down the teacup in her hand and looked over.
Indeed, it was Melody with Sarah standing beside her.
Elizabeth's noble gaze was swiftly replaced by disgust when her beautiful big eyes glanced across the
two of them.She hated Melody very much.
In her eyes, the girl was the one who turned her life into a big mess.
For her, she was a real jinx.
Elizabeth only hated Melody.
But because Sarah and Melody were very close, even the last ray of hope she had for Sarah had
vanished, leaving only disgust.
Elizabeth wanted to like Sarah, but she couldn't because of Melody.
"Charles, go and call the two of them over.Tell them not to stand at the door and make a fool of
themselves!" Elizabeth was displeased.
"Alright!"
Charles happily responded.
Charles then stood up and shouted in the direction of Sarah and Melody.
"Sarah, jinx, over here!" Charles called them loudly.
He still addressed Melody as a jinx.
Charles's intentionally raised his voice which made everyone notice Melody.
They are all related to the Sullivan family.
They all met Melody and Sarah before.
Even if how many times had passed, they could still recognize her.
Melody was now the center of attention for everyone.
They kept glancing at her and whispering to each other.
"So she is that girl that was thrown into the countryside by the Sullivan family? She looks pretty!" said a
visitor.
"So what if she looks good? You can't deny the fact that she's still a jinx!" said another visitor.
"That's right! Keep your distance from that girl.She is a jinx, and her future husband will die because of
her!"
The room erupted into baseless accusations targeting Melody.
They all called her a jinx.Melody stood by the side quietly and lazily.Her hands were in her pockets.
Melody’s neat bangs partly covered her eyes, which were as dazzling as stars.Her slightly narrowed
eyes glistened like a clear lake teeming with waves.
Melody raised an eyebrow, and a mocking smile appeared on her pretty face as she heard them
whisper about her.
She could hear the voices around her clearly and her eyes gradually turned cold as she listened to
them.
These people were not worthy of her time and effort.
So she just continued to ignore them.
Not only did Melody hear it, but Sarah also heard the discussions of those people.
Her face turned sour as she heard them spouting nonsense.
She frowned and complained, "Charles, this stinking brat, has no manners at all! How can he call you a
jinx? He deserves a beating!"
Sarah snapped in anger.
Melody turned her head and looked at Sarah.Her sharp eyes had a hint of seriousness, and a
mischievous smile curved on her lips.
"Do you also think that he needs a beating?"
Sarah was stunned by her question.She then nodded silently.
"You are his sister.He shouldn't say that! I'll talk to him later.I'll make sure to give him a good scolding,"
Sarah said.
She was just trying to cheer up Melody.
But before she could finish speaking, she found that Melody was walking straight towards the table
where Charles and the others sat.
Melody's steps were full of arrogance and domineering.
The room filled with cold air as they saw her walk towards them.
Sarah quickly followed Melody because she could vaguely feel that something was wrong.
As they walked over, Charles, on the other hand, stared at them intently.
His pride was screaming over his face.He had finally found an opportunity to teach Melody a lesson.
He knew this would cause him a lot of trouble.
However, it was worth the price.
As Melody approached, Charles smiled evilly.
The excitement suddenly flashed in his eyes.
He crossed his arms around his chest and deliberately provoked Melody, "Jinx, you really are a big
shot.We've already been here for a while now, and you've only just arrived! You think you're that
important?"
Melody stared at him coldly.
"What? Do you dislike me? Do you want to hit me? Come on, try it!" Charles said with disdain.
Melody nodded her head and complied with Charles’ request.
Allright, let's slap him! In the next second, the sound of a slap echoed through the room.It was loud and
clear, and everyone was stunned.
‘How dare she do this?’ Charles couldn't believe it.
Melody really did slap him.
Charles covered his face subconsciously and couldn't react for a while.
The first to react was Elizabeth.
She didn't expect that Melody, this jinx, would be so daring to hit her precious son in front of so many
people in her family.
Elizabeth slapped the table violently to express her anger and dissatisfaction.
This loud noise made Charles return to his senses.
After Charles came back to his senses, his face suddenly turned red in anger and he glared at Melody.
"You actually dared to hit me?" Melody looked at Charles calmly with a cynical smile.
"Didn't you ask me to hit you?" Melody replied with a smug looked on her face.
"Since you have this kind of hobby, I thought that I should satisfy you!" Charles flew into a rage.
But, he suddenly remembered when he made a move back then.
Melody simply thrashed him around before beating him into submission.
In the end, he could only scold Melody, "You slut..."
Charles couldn't finish his sentence.He suddenly got frightened by Melody's glare.He couldn't say a
word.His voice was stuck in his throat.
