“As long as the rewards are enticing enough, he could easily switch his allegiance.

“Besides, he genuinely cares for Elana; it benefits both his daughter and the company by boosting its profits and reputation. I just needed Grandpa to arrange a private meeting, and then I reached an agreement with him!”
Arnold had insisted she attend the birthday celebration of Veronica Shield, the matriarch of the Shields. It was a request she couldn’t turn down.
But she wouldn’t allow herself to be manipulated.
Melody was aware that Terrence owed Arnold a small favor, and she had skillfully used that to orchestrate today’s events.
“Mrs. Moore, did you know Suzanna was scheming against Elana?” Bernard asked as he approached her with admiration in his eyes.
“Did you
find it difficult to figure out?”
Melody raised an eyebrow, proudly lifting her chin.
In her previous life, Suzanna had hijacked Melody’s plans, later justifying it by claiming Elana had accidentally deleted her original proposal, forcing her to “borrow” Melody’s work, instead.
In that moment, Melody had felt sympathy and agreed to keep quiet, not exposing Suzanna.
But now, she had flipped the situation on its head.
Even if Suzanna hadn’t asked Elana to take the blame, the theft of the proposal had already been established.
Melody had merely kept a vigilant watch to counter Suzanna’s schemes.
Who would have thought it would all unfold so perfectly!
“Mrs. Moore, your brilliance truly amazes me, Bernard exclaimed, starry–eyed.
He was about to push past Edward to get closer to her when he noticed Edward arching an eyebrow slightly.

Bernard’s enthusiasm deflated into a sycophantic grin. “Mr. Moore, what do you mean? My loyalty to you is deeper than the ocean.
“Then why are you so close to my woman?
“Go get your own if you’re so keen.”
Edward’s cold stare made Bernard break into a sweat.
In a swift motion, Edward wrapped his arm around Melody’s shoulders, pulling her closer.
His stern expression was as unyielding as freshly fallen snow, and his words sent both Melody and Bernard’s hearts racing.
For Bernard, that racing heart signified impending doom!
Feeling a chill run down his spine, Bernard quickly made his exit.
Melody giggled, wrapping her arms around Edward’s. “Eddie…
“You’re so jealous that you lashed out at your employee, and you still pretend you don’t care
The
young girl was talking nonsense again.
Just then, another unexpected guest arrived.
While Melody still wore her smile, a sharply dressed man approached her.
His tailored suit fit him perfectly, but in the dim light, his complexion appeared pale.
Tall and commanding, he had striking features; each angle of his face was well–defined, with high cheekbones and narrow eyes resembling a sharp crescent moon. A beauty mark at the corner of his left eye added a hint of mischief.
Timothy, the eldest son of the Shields, who had always held himself in high regard, now approached Melody, beads of sweat forming on his fingers.
After discovering the truth, he was in turmoil, his mind racing with conflicting emotions.
As he stood before Melody, her indifferent gaze felt like that of a stranger, twisting his heart with pain.
He had not only misunderstood her regarding the stolen proposal but had also insulted her repeatedly in anger.
As her eldest brother, he owed her an apology.

Timothy frowned, adjusting his approach. “Melody, even if Suzie was at fault, you shouldn’t have allowed Elana to hit her!”
