His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 57: Just Apologize 

Melody spoke up and it was unexpected.No one knew what she wanted to do, and no one was brave enough to ask.It was impossible to avoid it.

Due to Melody's powerful aura, people would automatically retreat.

They wouldn't dare to be rude or impulsive in front of her. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Seeing Melody take a step forward, the students of Class 8 were scared to part and made way for Melody.

Everyone knew that Melody's target was Reagan and even Reagan knew about it.

Reagan looked at Melody, who leaned on her causing a hint of panic in Reagan's eyes.

Melody's cold gaze was like an icicle as it was sharp, almost as if it could pierce through someone's heart and even soul.

Reagan had clenched her hands as if to stop them from trembling.

Reagan tried to calm herself down, thinking that Melody was nothing but a country bumpkin whom no one wanted and that she should not be afraid of Melody.

After Reagan attempted to take mental notes, she finally gathered enough courage to speak up.

"What do you want to do?" she asked Melody.

"What do I want you to do?"

Melody humorlessly laughed as she raised a brow.

It was a simple gaze and yet Reagan felt as if her legs turned into jelly and all she wanted to do was kneel.

"You owe me an apology, Reagan” Melody said almost like a slur.

Just then, Lance and Clifford walked towards them to voice out their support.

"Yes!" Clifford exclaimed.

"Melody is right.We do have to apologize.’ Lance stared coldly at Reagan.

Everyone in the batch said that Reagan was the queen bee.

However, Lance couldn't even last long looking at Reagan whom he thought of as pretentious and ruthless, not displaying any sign of humility.

And with Reagan's attempt to attack Melody, Lance just couldn't bear it anymore.He lifted his chin and scoffed at Reagan, showing no sign of kindness at all.

"Even Ms.Scott apologized” Lance said.

"What more about you? You should apologize to Melody."

With everyone's gaze at her, Reagan was trembling not in fear but anger.She didn’t know why everyone was on Melody's side all of a sudden.

Ever since Melody appeared, everything seemed to have changed.

It was like the whole world had shifted.

With fire in her eyes and a firm expression on her face, Reagan clenched her jaw.

"What did I do wrong? Why should I apologize? Do you still think this is just about school?" Reagan huffed.

Melody raised a brow as she looked at Reagan, who didn't expect that Melody had it in her to be able to rattle Reagan.

But just how useful was this method? Melody didn't want to explain a lot.

If Reagan were to behave herself, Melody could guarantee that Reagan would be safe and would be the chairman of the Sullivan Enterprises.

After all, Melody didn't like the position anyway.

But if Reagan would remain chaotic, Melody couldn't guarantee anything.

Melody's delicate eyes were deadpan as always but were firm as she looked at Reagan.

"Apologize or quit school.Take your pick,’ Melody said to Reagan.

Many people felt that Melody had gone too far, even though Reagan did make a mistake.

Then again, Melody was forced to drop out of school alongside a deal.

But most importantly, Reagan was still Melody's younger sister which made the negotiation a bit over- the-edge.

And though a lot wanted to say something, they were all afraid of Melody.

Under everyone's gaze, Reagan felt extremely judged and embarrassed.

She didn't want to apologize, but she could feel that Melody would not let it go easily.

Unless she would apologize, Melody won't let the matter go.

Thinking that Melody could become the chairman and that even her father couldn't keep Melody in check, Reagan suddenly felt a bit more afraid.

It seemed like a persuasion ability that Melody had which made Reagan a bit suspicious.

Seeing the situation develop into something else, Ms.Watson had no choice but to speak up.

"You did something wrong, Reagan.It's just right for you to apologize to Melody” Ms.Watson said.

Just then, Reagan's attitude surfaced, showing how arrogant she could be.

No one was really happy but they had little to no choice at that point.

Ms.Watson's note was equivalent to giving Reagan a stage for her to apologize on.

Reagan looked at Ms.Watson with teary eyes, playing the victim and hoping that it would work.

"Alright." Reagan started.

"I'm sorry, Melody.It was my fault.I misunderstood you,’’ she said half-heartedly.

"Melody, is that okay?" Reagan asked, acting as if she was the one who got victimized.

She may look a bit innocent but her eyes said otherwise.

Melody slowly walked towards Reagan, stopping next to her and leaning until her lips touched Reagan's ear.

"I know you're still not convinced” she whispered.

Melody paused for a moment and then changed her tone.

"Even if you don't agree, you better hold it in" she said, a hint of arrogance in her voice.

With that, Melody moved away slowly and pushed her away.She crossed her arms across her chest, her eyes were filled with disdain.

Reagan was so angry that her face was tinted red as her shoulders trembled.

"Alright, let's go.We still have to go to class!"

With the help of Ms.Watson, the tension had finally ended.Melody returned to her seat, shifting a little before she fell asleep.

Looking at Melody's confident attitude, Lance couldn't help but admire her.

She was his boss, that was for sure.

And he vowed that he would help her in any way possible in the future.

He could tell that Melody enjoyed getting some rest but also did not want to be disturbed while she rested.

From then on, the person who disturbed Melody's sleep was Lance.

After spending half of the day with lessons, the remaining half of the Math class became time dedicated for some self-study.

And time went by so fast.

As the class reached its end, the students of Class 8 were greeted by Lance's brothers along with Clifford.

Classes could be boring not only because it was not allowed to be noisy.

And those who wanted to make noise usually put a gap between the rest of the class.

In Sanguine, no one dared to offend Lance so even if other classes passed by Class 8, everyone's eyes would normally be on Lance.

It was obviously the time for class to end, but Class 8 stayed quiet.

Students were passing by, eyes glued at the room.

Class 8 was indeed worthy of being the first in the whole year with all the presence.

If it was just going to be based on their will to learn, they were indeed the first.

Just like that, Melody fell asleep during the class.

The bell ringing to signal that it was the end of the class served as an alarm clock for Melody.

When Lance saw that she had woken up, he considerately passed the warm water bottle to Melody.

"Hey, Melody” Seth started.

"This is the new water bottle I got.It has already been disinfected.The temperature is just right."

He smiled.

"Since you just woke up and your voice is probably hoarse, you should drink some’ Melody turned to look at him.

Not like there was anything different on her face other than how she showed no emotion.Even with the knowledge that Lance wanted to please her, Melody's face was still deadpan.

However, she reached out and took the bottle from Lance.She slowly took a sip, feeling just how perfect the temperature was, somewhat.

He was indeed considerate.

Lance saw that Melody did not frown and guessed that she was in a good mood.

He quickly took the opportunity to think out loud.

"Melody, is it okay to follow you from now on?"
