Chapter 30: Chapter 30

Edward followed Melody’s gaze and looked down at the scarf around his neck.

Looking awkward, he touched the soft scarf and cast a glance at Bernard. Bernard quickly explained, “Madam, it’s cold outside, so I asked Mr. Moore to wear the scarf and keep himself warm. Of course, it’s not because he himself finds it exquisite and wanted to wear it.”

Edward’s relaxed brows furrowed again as he glared at Bernard. He couldn’t help but grit his teeth and remarked, “The last sentence was unnecessary.”

Perceiving Edward’s threatening gaze, Bernard sat up straight. I’ve willingly become the scapegoat, but why is Mr. Moore still not satisfied? Why am I seeing murderous intention instead of appreciation in his eyes?

Melody chuckled and nodded thoughtfully. “Yeah, it’s the scarf’s honor to serve Mr. Moore.” Knowing Edward’s egotism, she didn’t intend to expose him but couldn’t help feeling appreciated deep down.

She knew Edward well – he couldn’t stand using things that others had used, except when it came to her. Accepting the scarf she had knitted for Gary indicated that Edward had lowered his standards for her, which was a good sign. She wanted to slowly win him over and make his heart belong to her again.

The “Ionic Rehab,” which Edward spent a hundred million to win, was the highlight of the auction banquet. When the organizer presented the device to him, he gave it to Melody and said, “Keep it. This is yours now.”

Melody smiled gratefully and was about to receive it when a hand stopped her. “Melody, Suzie is fond of this device, so you should give it to her.” A familiar voice came forth. 1

Without glancing at the person, Melody knew it was Christina.

Dressed gracefully, Christina complemented her outfit with a pearl necklace, exuding an elegant aura.

Originally, she hadn’t come to the auction event. It was Suzanna who informed her that Melody had hit. Elana and laid a hand on Carson. Suzanna pretended to be helpless, so Christina came personally.

Upon having arrived at the hall, Christina witnessed Carson and Gary arguing over Melody, and Gary even thought Suzanna was scheming.

To Christina, Suzanna did nothing wrong and was merely interested in the electrotherapy device designed. by Master Jose. Since Melody had gotten the device, it was only natural for her to give it to Suzanna.

So, when Christina saw Melody with the device, she snatched it away without hesitation, as she had always done before.

Suzanna hurried forward, looking innocent and worried. “Mom, that’s a gift from Edward to Mel. How can I take it?”

At the same time, she couldn’t help but gaze at Edward captivated by his handsome appearance. Despite the scar that marred his countenance, he still emanated a sense of mystery – dangerous yet charming.

Suzanna was lost in thought, realizing that Edward was the man she was supposed to marry. He was willing to spend a billion for Mel. If it had been I, who married him… Shouldn’t this money belong to me?

“Both of you are sisters. What belongs to her rightfully belongs to you too. You don’t have to feel bad for taking your own things.” Christina frowned and handed the device to Suzanna.

In her opinion, she loved Melody and Suzanna equally as a mother. However, Suzanna was younger and had spent more years with her than Melody. Moreover, Suzanna was weak and sickly, so she had been constantly caring for her.

Christina had devoted too much effort to Suzanna, só she expected Melody to do the same.

When she turned around and saw Melody’s cold and arrogant face, she rebuked angrily, “Melody, what else are you capable of besides causing trouble? Now come with me to apologize to Elana and the Summers.

“Not only did you injure Carson, but you also acted arrogantly and showed no love to your siblings. I shall teach you a lesson when we’re back!”

Christina stepped forward and was about to drag Melody into the inner hall.

The banquet was hosted by the Summer family. Just then, Terrence Summer, Elana’s father, hurried over to demand an explanation.

Elana’s injury was not serious, but she was escorted to the ambulance to stop her bleeding.

Carson was slightly injured, so he stayed back after a simple treatment.

Terrence rushed over and questioned the Shields in hostility, “I heard that Lana was injured by one of you. Is that true?”
