Chapter 216 The Price of Pride

Melanie's unusually affectionate attitude toward Melody left many people confused.

After all, it was common knowledge that her relationship with Edward, the eldest son of the MouTES, WAS quite delicate. Melanie, as Edward's stepmother, has always been indifferent to Edward and occasionally confronts him with sarcasın Edward, in turn, never bothered to engage with her.

His attitude fueled Melanie's distlan for him. This tension eventually culminated in Edward moving rat of Regal Glade into the Moore Residence when he became an adult,

From that point on, his visits to Regal Glade became rare.

Over time, their lack of interaction allowed them to maintain a façade of harmony

However, everything changed three years ago when Edward was involved in a plane crash. After the incident. Alfred was unexpectedly sent abroad, and even after Edward awakened with disabilities and scars their relationship disintegrated completely. Truman tried to mediate but ultimately found himself powerless

He could only let things take their course.

However, no one felt that the relationship between the two could reach the level where Melanie would help Edward's new wife.

Truman was the most astonished among all of them.

He wrapped his arms around Melanie's slender waist, a tender smile spreading across his face. Playfully, he reached out and gently tapped her nose, saying. My dear wife, you truly are both beautiful and understanding. Marrying you is a stroke of luck for me His words made Melanie's eyes light up with delight. She shot him a mock glare and replied, "Hmph. you're just realizing it now?"

Then she continued to sway the round fan with great charm, half covering the corners of his mouth that formed a coy smile.

Her gaze toward Melody was tinged with new found at tion.

My Lady, you've got me all wrong.

My wife's beauty and grace only seem to grow day by day, and I assure you, I've known this for quite some

time.

"I just admire you more and more, My Lady"

He lowered his eyes, admiring Melanie as he gently ran his fingers through her softly curled hair, his touch so tender it was as if he were handling a priceless piece of art.

10 Free Cons

Melanie pouted before breaking into a radiant smile, her red lips curling up. "Oh, you're just full of sweet

words!

Noticing that Melody hadn't moved yet, Melanie raised her fan once more and spoke in a soft, playful tone, "Mel, why don't you go give Ms. Jenson a couple of slaps? Don't keep her waiting too long!" Her casual demeanor made it sound less like a command.

It seemed that she was not letting Melody heat someone but inviting her to drink tea leisurely.

Onlookers couldn't help but exchange glances, feeling the weight of the rumors swirling around them Indeed, this stephother was quite favored in the Moores

As Melody stood, her graceful figure exuding elegance, she strode toward Amanda.

Panic flickered in Amanda's eyes as she registered her approach, a desperate urge to flee swelling within

her.

Unfortunately, fear held her rooted in place.

This was the Moore family's territory, and no matter how far Amanda tried to run, she couldn't escape the copfines of the Moore Residence. In Sommerville, the Jensons couldn't even compare to a fraction of the Moore family's power. If Melanie were truly angered, it would be all too easy for the Moores and the Lamberts to annihilate her.

Melody could afford to make enemies, but she had no intention of crossing Melanie, the seemingly pampered and alluring matriarch of the Moores.

Amanda stood frozen, her eyes locked onto Melody as if she were imagining tearing her to shreds.

Melody swiftly slapped Amanda across the face with a calm and indifferent smile,

Smack!

The sound echoed, shattering not just the facade of the Jensons's dignity but also Amanda's pride..

She had been Edward's childhood friend, always lingering in his shadow, silently supporting and adoring him.

Yet, despite her loyalty, she had received nothing in return.

Now, this country bumpkin had audaciously taken everything that she believed was rightfully hers.

Edward was like the brightest moon in the sky, too pure to be tainted by the filth of the earth.

Melody held nothing back and slapped her fiercely.

Just as she lifted her hand for a second strike, a cool, detached voice rang out from the entrance of the tea banquets. ""Wait!

"She'll hurt."
