Chapter 280 She’s Just a Silly Girl
Inside his black Jeep, Spencer found himself watching a striking young woman as she stepped out from Regal Glade not too far away.
Four years had slipped by, and Melody had not only grown taller but also matured in numerous ways. Her fine features exuded a certain wisdom and an icy elegance that was hard to overlook.
It was undeniable–Melody was stunning.
From the time they were children, Spencer had realized that Melody would never simply be an afterthought in anyone’s life.
She was destined to shine brightly, to create her own niche in the world.
Yet, he couldn’t shake the bitterness of witnessing her success from a distance.
Melody, in your moments of triumph, do you ever think of me of Dad and Martin?
If only pain will help you remember us, I’m ready to drag you down to despair.
Within the vehicle, a lazy voice cut through his thoughts. “Mr. Spencer, is that girl your sister?
“She’s quite beautiful.”
Spencer felt as if he’d been blindsided, a frown etching itself onto his forehead, and he chose not to respond.
At the entrance of Regal Glade, Melody scanned the surveillance footage, increasingly convinced that the figure in the hoodie was Spencer.
A flicker of panic crossed her face as she began her search for him, moving from car to car, tapping on windows.
She instinctively felt that with Spencer’s personality, he was definitely lurking nearby, watching her efforts
unfold.
He wouldn’t leave the scene so quickly.
As she checked several vehicles, Alfred bounded out, radiating youthful exuberance as he approached Melody.
“Mell
“Hey, Mell
“Your husband doesn’t want me involved in his business.
“Please bring me along for yours.
“What are you searching for? A guy? I can help!”
With that, Alfred rolled up his sleeves, ready to pitch in

Watching his antics, Melody couldn’t help but laugh and playfully push him.
away.
But soon enough. Alfred resumed his playful teasing, calling out, “Mel, Mel, Melody!”
Melody thought to herself. I really want to knock him out!
By chance, they stood not far from Spencer’s Jeep.
She was acutely aware that the Tuckers were not affluent.
The vehicles she had been checking weren’t flashy or extravagant.
In stark contrast, Spencer’s car was a custom Jeep worth about 400,000 dollars.
With a glance from a distance, Melody decided against approaching that particular vehicle.
At that moment, they stood near the Jeep.
The Jeep’s windows weren’t particularly soundproof, but the modifications included a privacy film.
Spencer watched Alfred happily calling out to Melody.
Irritation swelled within him.
Finally, he snapped, his voice icy and defensive. “She isn’t. My mother didn’t have a daughter.
“She’s just a silly girl!”
As he spoke, he discarded a steel needle. His laptop resting on his knees captured the ongoing events at the tea banquet through satellite technology.
He swiftly shut the laptop and tossed it aside.
“Pif! The ‘silly girl‘ you’re talking about is out here searching for you. She probably knows that it was you by now.
“Admit it, Spencer. You care about your sister.”
Spencer deepened his frown, his voice dripping with cold anger. “She wouldn’t bother looking for me.
“Never!”
Melody doesn’t care about me. With her life flourishing, why would she seek me out?
Once finished, Spencer lit a cigarette and drove off.
Four years later, his disdain for Melody had only intensified.
Inside the vehicle, a certain charming figure silently thought, Tsk, he says he doesn’t care, yet he won’t even deny she’s his sister.
