His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 3: How will They Change the Will? 

Melody finished the contents of her will, then entered the living room.

Most of the people from the Sullivan Family were there, sitting among themselves.

Seeing her come in, Reagan was the first to speak.

She scolded Melody impolitely.

"You country bumpkin, I don’t care what you did or how you did it.But if you think that you can just come and take everything, then keep dreaming!"

Melody's younger brother, Charles, was also angry with her.

He was the only son of the Sullivan Family.

Everything that they were supposed to give him was now given to Melody.

How could he just stand there and accept it? Charles looked down on Melody from the start and knew that she was just an uncultured countryside girl.

Yet, she was the one who would inherit the Sullivan Family property.

He could never bear it! He went over to his mother, Elizabeth, held her hand, and then complained out loud.

"Mom, you can't let this jinx inherit our property! Make her give it up, and then throw her back to where she came from!"

Every Sullivan knew that Melody was bad luck.

Because of it, she was sent to live in the countryside by Alistair when she was young.

Not long after an incident, Alistair's wife passed away.

A shrink from the fortune teller said that she was a bane, a jinx with a murderous spirit in her life.

Elizabeth, who was also Melody’s mother, hardly cared about her.

She glared at her daughter in response to what Charles said.

"Melody, did you hear what your younger brother said?"

She referred to Charles’ words.

"Go find Atty.Lewis right now, and give up the property.Give it to your father so he can be the heir, I'll ask him to give you money as compensation.Then you'll go home in two days."

Melody remained calm to all of these like she was a simple bystander.

After Elizabeth spoke, Melody opened her mouth.

Her voice was clear and didn't waver at all.

"Alright!" she said and looked at all of them.

"If you think you can, then go ahead.Feel free to take it from me!" Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Her answer was so straightforward that it shocked everyone. She didn't hesitate or let it linger inside.

Everyone only heard the first word, "Alright"

They completely ignored the rest of her sentence.

After all, in their eyes, Melody was nothing more but a country girl.

They were the Sullivans.

They should be the ones to take the property.

The fastest one to react was Reagan .

Her face was filled with a bright smile, and her eyes were full of pride.

"At least you know how to behave!"

From Reagan's point of view, Melody was just a country bumpkin who had no class or culture.

Even if the Sullivans’ fate were in her hands, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

She might as well just give it up already so they wouldn't have to make her do it.

Reagan turned to her mother, "Mom, what are you waiting for? Let's call for Atty.Lewis immediately! We can still sign it before it's too late! Quince entered the scene before Elizabeth could even start to look for him.”

"No.This will can not be changed!"

He declared loudly.

Reagan and the others turned their faces into ugly expressions.

"But why? Why does this country girl have to inherit everything of the Sullivans?"

Quince could only scowl at her questions.

He didn’t want to give it all away either, but he had no other choice.

He faced Melody, disgusted by her tattered white t-shirt and her simple demeanor.

"Melody, you’ve done enough for today.Go upstairs and rest!"

Melody knew that was just an excuse to get rid of her.

Without hesitation, Melody went upstairs.

The moment she turned her back on them, the corner of Melody’s lips lifted into a strange smile on her delicate, doll-like face.

Her eyes shone brightly with sarcasm and disdain.

"Quince, why won't you let her transfer every content of the will to you?"

Elizabeth asked, as soon as she was out of earshot.

Because she didn't like her, Elizabeth didn't even dare to call Melody her daughter.

Quince shook his head painfully and sighed.

He looked absolutely helpless.

"Dad's will states that if Melody gives up the inheritance, all of the Sullivan Family's property will be donated to charity and Seth Harrison already agreed to the marriage.

Melody is his fiancée now"

They wouldn't dare to offend the Harrison family and Alistair's will made it clear.

From Quince's perspective, if he wanted to keep the Sullivan's fortune, then he'll let Melody inherit it and he'll think of other ways to get it from her .

That didn't stop the other Sullivans from getting shocked again.

With her eyes widening in disbelief, Reagan could only look at her father, stunned.

"Dad, you’ve got to be kidding me.How could Seth agree to marry that jinx?"

Quince knew his daughter had always been interested in Seth, and no one could change her mind.

"Reagan,"

Quince said gravely, "Dad cannot help you"

Hearing her father’s words, Regan fell onto the sofa and started to space out.

All of these changes in one day.

The huge fortune Reagan had was now gone.

The person she admired the most for many years, was now someone else's fiancé.

All of this happened because of Melody.

Reagan clenched her hands into fists, and her eyes brimmed with tears of anger and violence.

"Melody Sullivan” She gritted her teeth, and her heart burned with jealousy.

"I hate you!"
