Chapter 377 In Her Shadow
Felicity frowned for a moment, then realized what was going on.
She slapped Alfred on the back of the head. “Alfred, I know self–destruction is practically second nature for
you.
“But there’s no need to go looking for shortcuts!”
Alfred went silent, looking like he was on the verge of tears.
Edward! Felicity’s bullying your little brother again!
Edward was standing right next to them, not even sparing the two of them a glance..
They were too noisy–blocking his view of Melody.
“Mr. Moore, it looks like Mr. Alfred…” Bernard started, leaning toward Edward.
Might have a thing for the Queen of Sommerville–shouldn’t you put a stop to it?!
In the next instant, Alfred, Edward, and Felicity all turned their attention to Bernard with the same indifferent look.
Alfred’s usual playful expression vanished, his clear eyes turning cold and razor–sharp as if hiding countless blades just beneath the surface.
A shiver ran down Bernard’s spine.
A bead of cold sweat formed on his forehead.
“L–like a poor little puppy getting bullied…“he stammered.
The icy tension evaporated, and Alfred returned to his harmless, easygoing demeanor.
Felicity also looked away, effortlessly slipping back into her role as the bright and spoiled socialite.
Bernard fell silent, thinking, great. I guess I’m the only naive one in the Moores, huh?
Edward’s detached gaze shifted over Alfred and Felicity
Then, with a slight raise of his brow, he turned to Felicity and asked in a cool–tone, “Felicity, she’s been contacting you recently, hasn’t she?
“What does she want this time?”
His voice was calm, but the sheer force of his presence made the question feel like an unspoken command.
Felicity had been planning to quietly slip away, but her body froze, her legs suddenly urable to take another step.
that supposed to be the deepest, most unspeakable taboo in Edward’s heart?

She lowered her eyes and spoke obediently. “Edward, she’s not pleased with you having this wife,” she said carefully.
“She said Melody isn’t good enough for you.
“She plans to personally choose a woman of noble status to be your wife.
“She’ll discuss the details with Dad directly.”
Just mentioning that woman made a chill run down Felicity’s spine. The woman had been gone for years, and yet somehow, she still seemed to know every move Edward made in Sommerville.
Felicity had no idea how Edward had learned that this woman had been reaching out to her recently.
Nor did she understand why, after all these years, the woman had chosen to contact her again.
Hadn’t she disappeared for good?
After Felicity finished her report, Edward’s eyes filled with a touch of mocking amusement, as if he’d just heard something ridiculous. His thin lips curled slightly. “Heh. Who does she think she is to try to control me?” he said.
“Old age must be making her stupid.”
Felicity lowered her gaze, afraid to say another word.

“Old age must be making her stupid.”
Felicity lowered her gaze, afraid to say another word.
That woman held immense power now, but maybe she really was getting older and feeling sentimental about her long–lost son in Cleussau.
But her sudden interest in Edward’s life felt all too suspicious.
“Edward, what exactly is she to you…” Felicity trailed off, unable to finish her question.
“Tell Melanie this news first,” Edward interrupted, ignoring Felicity’s unfinished question.
Felicity fell silent, thinking that Edward must be planning to fight fire with fire.
He really knows how to play dirty, she thought.
