Chapter 398: Chapter 399

Chapter 399 Biased And In Her Favor Thomas voiced out as the head of the family and Melissa was stunned.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell into cold silence. As though one could hear the sound of a pin drop.

Even after being lectured, Melissa was still concerned about Yandel. She subconsciously looked at Yandel only to find out that his eyes were still fixed on Yara without even glancing back at her.

It wasn’t like this when Yara wasn’t here.

“Dad, did I say something wrong? Yara already has Samuel! Why is she here seducing Yandel!” Melissa lost her composure and yelled. “She’s the one in the wrong. Why are you scolding me instead of her!”

Melissa felt that everything fell from heaven to hell though she did nothing wrong.

She was so aggrieved that her eyes turned red, and her face twisted.

Seeing that Melissa had lost her composure, Thomas raised his hand and slapped her out of anger.

Slap! A palm print appeared on Melissa’s petite face.

“You...”

“Melissa, I told you to shut up! Didn’t you hear me!” Thomas was trembling in anger.

“You’re just biased and in favor of Yara!” Melissa’s tears kept falling. She said hoarsely, “She’s your daughter, but I’m your daughter too! Why do you treat me this way?”

Melissa picked up the cutlery and plates in front of her slammed them to the ground, making a mess. Then, she turned around and quickly ran upstairs.

Yvonne was also aware that Melissa behaved a little outrageous that day, but Melissa was still her daughter.

Besides, she was not blind either.

When Yandel and Yara were talking about filming in such an intimate manner at the dinner table just now, Yara was acting smug the entire time. She didn’t consider Melissa’s feelings at all.

No wonder Melissa got so angry!

“Do you feel good after scolding her? Are you satisfied now?” With tears in her eyes, Yvonne asked Thomas in a plaintive tone before turning around to chase after Melissa.

Thomas stood still without moving a muscle. He didn’t know where to put his face.

“Yara, aren’t you being too inconsiderate toward Melissa?”

“Dad, it’s you and Aunt Yvonne who have spoiled her. You stopped her from going crazy in front of our guests, yet she dares to lash back at you.” Yara put down the fork in her hand and said coldly, “Tell me, I’m just discussing work with Mr. Moss. Where did I cross the line?”

Thomas was rendered speechless by Yara’s words.

“Mr. Moss, I’m afraid we’ll have to talk about the audition another day,” Yara said.

“I’m available anytime,” Yandel responded helplessly, “However, it doesn’t seem suitable for us to continue our conversation today. Mr. Thomas, Yara, I’ll take my leave then.”

“Yandel, why don’t you leave after dinner?” Thomas urged Yandel to stay.

“I’ve lost my appetite,” Yandel replied indifferently, “I thought Melissa would be a thoughtful person, but now it doesn’t seem to be the case.”

As he finished, Yandel winked at Natalie, standing in the corner.

Natalie immediately understood his intentions. He took Yandel’s coat and followed behind him as he left the Nichols residence.

As soon as they got out of the Nichols residence, Natalie licked her lips relentlessly. Her eyes were sparkling with gratification.

“Boss, have you already predicted that my seduction would work?” Yandel asked curiously.

“I was almost certain.” Natalie grinned slyly. “It seems that the Nichols family is far less united than I thought. Despite having you as an outsider, they didn’t bother to hide their ulterior motives.”

“So, do you really plan to use Hurricane as bait to reel in Yara?”

“Who the hell is Yara?” Natalie sneered, “She’s a pawn at best. I’m not stupid enough to give her any benefit.”

Yandel knew that Natalie wouldn’t be fooled easily. Thus, he didn’t ask any more questions.

Natalie rejected Yandel’s offer to send her home as she wanted to be alone for a while.

She bought some fried chicken and two cans of beer. Then, she sat on a bench in the park next to the street and looked at the half-moon in the night sky.
