Charles could only ask for reinforcements.There was no way he could deal with Melody alone.
"Dad, Mom, look.She dared to hit me like this in front of you.Now you know how Melody bullies me in
private! She is too arrogant and crazy! She will eventually overturn everything if you don’t properly
discipline her." Charles complained to his parents.
Elizabeth didn’t flare up immediately.
They were in front of many people, especially now that Quince, the head of the family, was here.She
must remain composed.She looked at Quince and asked him to deal with this matter.
Quince had a gloomy expression on his face and a ferocious glare in his eyes as he looked at Melody.
"Have some manners, Melody! Where did your manners go? We are your elders! Don't you think you
should show us some respect?" Quince exclaimed in anger.
Sarah was so scared.But she finally came back to her senses.She held Melody's hand and signaled
her not to be impulsive.
But, Melody didn't act impulsively just now, did she? From the beginning to the end, Melody didn't
display a hint of anger in her eyes.
Even her expression hadn't changed much.She looked at Quince with a calm gaze.
Her laid-back demeanor conveyed a sense of indifference.
"So in your eyes.It's okay for Charles, as the son of the first wife of the Sullivan, to insult his sister?"
Melody firmly questioned.
"Or is it because you told him that's why Charles had done that?" Her lips twisted in a smile.
Quince'’s expression turned extremely angry when Melody confronted him in public.
On the other hand, Charles, who was waiting for his father to punish Melody, felt anxious.
He clasped his hand and clenched his teeth.
Why did it take too long for his father to decide?
"Dad, why are you talking nonsense with her? Call someone to hold her down and beat her up.In that
way, she will be obedient!"
He hastily yelled.
Quince turned his head and glared at Charles.
"Sit down!"
Charles’ legs trembled in fear as he heard the imposing and fierce words from Quince.
Elizabeth glared at him.
Charles unwillingly sat down.
Quince stared at his son with disappointment in his eyes.He couldn't help but think that his son had no
brain.
Indeed, Melody was not likable.
Everyone knew her as a "jinx," but those were just rumors.
Rumors they spread privately.
Before the old man passed away, he personally brought Melody back to acknowledge her identity as a
Sullivan.
Since she was a daughter of the Sullivan family, they should acknowledge her as a part of the Sullivan
family.
All of the people's eyes were on them.
Just one wrong move and everyone would judge you.
Charles had truly made the Sullivan family lose their dignity because of his actions.
The way they treated Melody couldn't be brought to the public.
If the public discovered that they couldn't tolerate their own daughter and had people bully her in
private, the Sullivan family would definitely lose respect in its circles! Quince sized up Melody.
From her calm demeanor, he seemed to have sensed something.
Quince realized why Melody acted so boldly.
Melody was certain.
Quince would not allow the Sullivan family to be humiliated in public.
No wonder she was so fearless.If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame his stupid son for
not using his brain at all.
Even though he knew that this girl was so arrogant, the only thing he could do was to silently swallow
his anger.
Not to mention Charles, even Quince felt aggrieved.He held back his anger and glanced furiously at
Charles.He wanted to teach his child a lesson.
"Charles, if I hear that word again from your mouth in the future.Then, don't blame me if I treat you
rudely."
Quince gazed pierced through Charles.
"Now, apologize to Melody immediately!" Quince grabbed him over to Melody.
Charles was dumbfounded.
He didn’t expect that even though he was the one that got slapped, he would be forced to apologize to
the one who slapped him! What kind of logic was this? Charles struggled to break free from Quince’s
grip.
However, Elizabeth held him back tightly.
Elizabeth comforted him in a low voice, "Good son, don't forget the purpose of our visit today.Let that
jinx be arrogant.The more arrogant she is, the more people can't tolerate her.It is best to let everyone
see her rudeness so that your second uncle can take care of her."
Under Elizabeth's dissuasion, Charles finally endured and did not stir up any more trouble.
More importantly, Quince had already made his decision.
Although Melody was not afraid of Quince, the others in the Sullivan family were afraid of him.
Elizabeth had no authority.
Everything she had right now came from the Sullivan family.
Particularly from the head of the Sullivan family.
Now that Grandpa Alistair was no longer around, the only person she could rely on was her husband,
Quince.
Charles was the same, so they should not offend Quince.
In their eyes, Melody was just a lunatic that would get eliminated in the end.
They should not even put her eyes in their eyes.
Everyone thought that Quince and the others would punish Melody for her bold actions.
However, the one who got punished in the end was the precious son of the Sullivan family, Charles.
It made all the people who looked down on Melody and kept calling her a jinx earlier dumbfounded.
Could it be that Melody held a very strong position in the Sullivan family? No one was aware of the
specific reasons.
As of now, only one thing came to their mind.
Melody was arrogant.
But the result of her willfulness made everyone not dare to look down on her.
These people wanted to use this birthday party to curry favor with the Sullivan family.
As such, when they saw the results of this show, they didn't even dare to look down on Melody
anymore.
Even the son of the first wife of the Sullivan family, Charles, was scolded because of Melody, let alone
these people.
The matter was briefly settled, and Sarah finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Sarah carefully pulled Melody's sleeve and whispered, "Mellie, I was scared to death just now.Didn't
you notice me trying to signal you earlier? If the situation escalated, I was prepared to take you away
and escape."
Sarah showed Melody the car keys she took out from her bag.She held it tightly in her hand.She was
prepared.
If Quince really did call people to beat Melody up.
If Melody couldn't beat them, then they should run.
Since they were not staying in the Sullivan residence nowadays, she would pull Melody out and run
away.She would only talk to Quince once he calmed down.She looked at Melody's serious face.
Melody felt that it was very interesting.
This feeling was very strange.
Melody didn't expect that when she fought with the Sullivan family this time, the usually obedient
daughter of the Sullivan family would actually want to pull her along and run away.She was surprised
that Sarah was willing to go that far just to save her.
A part of her cold heart seemed to have started to warm up and melt.
The concealed feelings in her heart seemed to seep out.
Reagan suppressed all the discontent in her heart.She thought that under Charles’ provocation, she
could indirectly teach Melody a lesson.
Who knew that the brainless Charles would be so useless? Not only did he not teach her a lesson, but
he even received a slap from her.
‘How stupid!’ Reagan was disappointed.
Now that Melody was the center of attention.
It was not the time for her to face Melody head-on.
Reagan decided not to move.She had always been observant since she was a child.She knew that her
mother would not let Melody off the hook.She must bid her time and wait for her mother to make a
move.
A sound came from behind them, and everyone turned around in unison.
Since she was bored, Melody also turned around to look.
What everyone saw was Quince walking with Gwendolyn.
Today was Gwendolyn’s 70th birthday.She was wearing a festive red dress and wore a face full of
smiles as she walked through the corridor.
Everyone stood up with smiles on their faces, and they all greeted Gwendolyn happily.
Gwendolyn and Quince walked towards the main table.
The people sitting at this table were all relatives of both the Sullivan and the Callahan family.
When they got closer, their eyes looked at Melody.
Gwendolyn suddenly said, "This is Melody, right?"
