Chapter 10

Melanie felt the cold necklace around Vanessa’s neck, which stuck to her collarbone and hurt a

little.

It was the necklace!

Sherry’s necklace!

Melanie remembered Sherry celebrated her eighth birthday. It was the last birthday Melanie had spent with Sherry.

That night. Sherry put the necklace around Melanie’s neck and told her to keep it safe.

But Melanie gave the necklace to her enemy!

It was the enemy who said she had liked this necklace for years and wanted to wear it on her birthday!

It was this enemy who encouraged Melanie to travel with her to Solustria!

It was this enemy who blinded Melanie!

Tracy and Steve cleaned up all of Sherry’s belongings and completely erased Melanie and Sherry’s existence from this house.

However, Vanessa was wearing the only thing Sherry left to Melanie!

Melanie was so furious that she thought she deserved to be blind!

Melanie grabbed the necklace and shouted angrily, “Give it back to me! Give it back!”

“Oh, what are you doing?” Vanessa screamed in pain.

“Give it back to me. It’s my mother’s! Give it back!” Melanie shouted.

Steve was stunned by what was going on.

Seeing that things were getting out of control, Tracy immediately rushed forward.

However, Melanie would not allow Tracy to get close and kicked her in the chest.

Tracy screamed and fell to the sofa.

Melanie sneered.

For the past seven years, when Melanie couldn’t see, she trained her listening and sensitivity.

Although Melanie’s skills in close combat were not top–notch, she could knock out one or two people easily.

Vanessa was strangled and screamed, “Mom, help me.”

“Mela, what are you doing? Let go of your sister. She will die if you keep pulling the necklace. Stop it!” Steve shouted anxiously.

“Give it to me. It belongs to my mother. You said you would only wear it for one day that year! How many years have you béen wearing it since then?” Melanie shouted.

Vanessa was strangled and just kept shaking her head.

“Mela, isn’t it just a necklace? Dad will buy another for you, okay?” Steve begged.

“No!”

Melanie shouted, “Give it back to me or I’ll strangle her!”

Steve panicked when he realized that Melanie meant it.

“Okay, I’ll go take off the necklace. Don’t hurt Vanessa!” Steve said.

“If you dare come over, I’ll strangle her!” Melanie warned.

Then Melanie pulled Vanessa and shouted to her, “Take it off yourself.”

Vanessa felt Melanie loosened her grip a little, so Vanessa hurriedly took off the necklace.

Melanie stroked the cornflower–shaped sapphire necklace.

The pendant, approximately the size of a thumb, felt as velvety and warm to the touch as Sherry’s

kiss.

Tracy had already hugged Vanessa and kept crying.

“Melanie, you’ve gone too far. Look how you strangled Vanessa! I would call the police if it weren’t for your father’s sake,” Tracy blamed.

Melanie sneered.

“Call the police? Well, go ahead. I’ll ask the police to check how you and your dear daughter tricked. me to Solustria, and how you tried to kill me,” Melanie said.

“What are you talking about? When did we trick you to Solustria?” Tracy asked.

“Don’t you know what I am talking about? Ask your dear daughter how she negotiated with the ment in Solustria when she was wearing the red dress,” Melanie said.

Hearing Melanie mention the red dress, Tracy fell silent.

Suddenly Vanessa shouted, “What do you mean? I don’t know anything. I just didn’t call the police. You met the bad guys and you deserved it. It had nothing to do with me.”

“Mela, Vanessa was scared that night seven years ago and didn’t call the police. It was her fault, but you were safe, weren’t you? Tracy tentatively asked.

“Is it because you were really violated by those people?” Tracy asked.

Melanie sneered.

“Do you want to know? Wait, you’ll see. I’ll make you experience everything you’ve done to me,” Melanie said.

Tracy screamed, “Are you crazy? Are you blind and mad?”

At this time, Steve suddenly asked, “Vanessa, is what Mela said true? Did you hire people to hurt Mela in Solustria?”

Vanessa was shocked and said, “I did not. I was just afraid and ran away. I didn’t do anything!”

Hearing this, Melanie burst out laughing and said, “My dear father, don’t tell me you don’t know all

this.”

“How could I know it?” Steve explained eagerly, looking helpless.

“Back then, Vanessa called and said tha.”

“She looked for you everywhere, only to find out later that you were deceived, violated, and killed by a bunch of gangsters.

“I was afraid that the news would spread home, so I told the public that you had an accident and were dead,” Steve explained.

Melanie felt a deep, cutting pain at Steve’s words.

She couldn’t breathe because of the pain.

So this was what her dear father did?

“Are you even my father?” Melanie asked.

She shouted, “I was killed, but you didn’t investigate anything and blamed me for doing things. wrong.”

“Mela, I didn’t go to Solustria to find you. It was my fault.

“But I believe that Vanessa was so young at that time and you have always got along, so she would never be so vicious to hurt you,” said Steve.

Hearing Steve defend Vanessa, Melanie could no longer suppress

her anger.

“Do you believe it? Are you my father or hers?

“You trust your stepdaughter, not your own daughter,” Melanie said in fury.

She opened her big blank eyes, waiting for Steve to say that he believed in her and would seek justice for her.

Melanie had been waiting for those words for seven years.

Chapter 10

Before Melanie entered this house again, even if Steve said everything was a misunderstanding, she still had a last trace of hope for him.

Melanie could hear Vanessa’s complaints and Tracy’s curse.

She could pretend they didn’t exist.

Melanie just wanted to hear a fair word from Steve.

But Steve remained silent.

At that moment, she finally understood everything.

Perhaps it was right for her not to come back immediately seven years ago. At least, Melanie had lived with hopes for seven years.

A tear fell down Melanie’s eye and she asked word for word, “Father, you promised me that you would keep Mom’s room. As long as the Robertson family is together, the room will always be hers.

“But now, is there any trace of my mother and me in this family?”
