“If I win, I want all the land the Jensons own on the outskirts of Sommerville, specifically in Surriware!”
Before crossing paths with Amanda, Melody had never met her, but she had researched the land for the YM Rejuvenation Cream factory project.
The Jensons had historically held sway over the Surriware area.
Over time, their ancestral home relocated to the city, leaving the Surriware land–wild and overgrown- untouched.
Being a family steeped in scholarly traditions, the Jensons prioritized Cleussau culture, and very few ventured into the business world, resulting in a lack of foresight for research and innovation.
When Amanda mentioned her father’s past connection to Truman, Melody pieced together which branch of the Jensons she belonged to.
The hostility emanating from Amanda was unmistakable.
Seated at the tea table, Melody remained unfazed, patiently waiting for Amanda to take the bait.
It was a classic situation. If trouble’s brewing, someone’s bound to add fuel to the fire.
Before the news spread, the barren land in Surriware had been seen as nothing more than worthless
terrain.
It wasn’t just devoid of value; it was unsuitable for farming or even a botanical garden.
Melody’s demand stood in stark contrast to what Amanda might have hoped for.
At that moment, all eyes turned to Melody, their faces reflecting disbelief and disapproval.
This girl clearly didn’t grasp the significance of a good opportunity.
Truman shot her a brief glance, surprise flickering in his eyes before fading.
His previously stiff expression softened just enough for him to raise an eyebrow.
He settled into his seat with an air of casual indifference, secretly relishing the unfolding drama. Hmph, that Edward kid sure knows how to choose a wife.
However, the cultured guests at the tea banquet looked on in confusion
“Is Truman’s daughter–in–law really out of her mind? The Jensons possess countless valuable items, including many famous artworks. Surely asking for a piece of art would make more sense than a few patches of land
“Melody is incredibly audacious! Everyone knows the Jensons are a refined family. Challenging them to a tea competition feels like self–sabotage!”
I thought Truman brought her here because she was impressive, but now she just seems materialistic. How can someone like her brew good tea?”

“Amanda is definitely the better choice, having grown up in an educated environment. She and Edward were quite the couple in the past. It’s unfortunate things turned out this way; otherwise, the title of Mrs. Moore wouldn’t be going to a country girl!”
“I’ve heard rumors that Melody was adopted from the Shields. Maybe she wants that land because she used to live near Surriware. Otherwise, why would she even think to ask for that worthless land?”
The attendees naturally leaned toward Amanda, who had grown up in their midst, making Melody’s sudden appearance as an inconsequential foster daughter stand out even more.
Amid their discussions, Amanda smiled gently and modestly, her eyes betraying a hint of scorn as she contemplated Melody’s demand for the Surriware land.
It was evident to her that Melody couldn’t differentiate between priceless antiques and a few useless plots.
Turning to Melody, she spoke with refined elegance, “Ms. Tucker. I accept your proposal.
“However, as the owner of the Surriware land, I feel it’s important to remind you that its value certainly pales in comparison to the antique Elysian Blue Tea Set set you possess.
“I wouldn’t want anyone to think I’m taking advantage of your lack of knowledge.”
With her words, the crowd regarded Amanda with new found respect.
After all, she came from a prominent family, and her composure was commendable.
Yet Melody stood tall and confident, smiling at Amanda
“Ms. Jenson, I assure you. I won’t alter my terms. I want all the land owned by the Jensons in Surriware.”
Surriware was vast, and the planned tech park didn’t necessarily overlap with their property.
