His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 146: How Would She Know?  

Christine was not the least bit afraid when faced with Luke's anger.

After all, she was the only daughter of the Lucas family.So it was only natural for her to be as arrogant and proud as a daughter born in a prestigious family.She was more significant than Luke, who grew up in the countryside and relied on his scholarship to enter their school.

Christine knew that for a fact.She had arranged for people to investigate Luke beforehand after all.

Who cared if Luke, who was a poor farmer's child, looked good? She didn't even like him!

"You're just a country bumpkin who hasn't seen the world, Luke.But I don't blame you for being this ignorant, '' Christine said as though she was talking to an ignorant child.

"What we want is not your apology.Get Melody and tell her to apologize to Reagan if you are that smart.Then we'll know who the real trash is!"

Luke pierced the woman in front of him with his coldest stare.

He couldn't believe that the woman would dare call him an ignorant country bumpkin! But then, it only showed how incapable the woman and her friends were, They weren't competent enough to dig into his family background.

Had they been at least capable, they would have found out that Luke had already created a new identity for himself.

And the nerve for these people to ask Melody to apologize to a nobody! They didn't have the right to make Melody do such a thing! At that moment, Melody looked at Christine's proud face.

For some reason, Melody found herself wanting to laugh right at Christine's face.

‘I wonder where this woman got her sense of superiority from?’ Melody laughingly thought to herself.

‘With her appearance, it would be a pity if she wouldn't act in a soap opera” Christine was too overconfident that it was quite laughable! Melody glanced at Luke and gave him a look.

They had no plans of ever apologizing to these people.

"Let's go!" Melody said to Luke.

As soon as she gave the order, Luke immediately followed.

When he passed by Christine, his disdainful eyes swept over her, and he sneered, "Shame on you! Why don't you take a mirror and look at yourself? Let's see if you are worthy or not!"

Christine's face twisted in anger.She was so enraged that words wouldn't come out of her mouth.

"You..."

She had never been insulted like this by anyone, especially by a man! All men adored and praised her like a princess.

And if she asked, they might even lay out their life for her.

Christine was so mad that she was about to explode, yet Luke didn't even give her another glance.

She wanted to retaliate, but she couldn't cause a bad scene in public. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

It hurt her ego that Luke did not give in to her, and she was now the one suffering in the end.

Christine was at her wit's end.

She was about to follow Luke so that she could "accidentally" stomp on his feet when a cold voice beside her made her pause.

"Stop!" the voice said, and all Christine could do was clench her fist and look at Reagan beside her.

Reagan stared at Melody's back, wishing that she could burn two holes in her back just by staring at the latter.

Her hands tightened into fists, and venting the hatred in her heart; she called out to Melody, "You just humiliated me in front of everyone.Melody, are you really going to leave just like this?"

Melody stopped then, slowly turned around, and looked at Reagan with cold, indifferent eyes.

"Humiliate?"

Melody repeated the words mockingly, her voice devoid of any warmth.

"Are you sure that you have your facts straight? Who exactly humiliated who?"

She had no plans to argue with Reagan, but the woman seemed adamant about going against her.

So whatever the consequences were, Reagan shouldn't blame Melody for any of it.

Before Reagan could respond, Christine, who was impatiently watching the scene, joined in the fray.

"Melody, you're too arrogant” Christine rebutted.

"What right do you have to say something like this? Who do you think you are?"

Melody looked at Christine from the corner of her eye.

With just one look, Christine panicked.

Christine might not know what Melody was thinking, but her instinct kicked in, telling her to be wary of Melody.

Christine became breathless with that one glance, and chills ran through her skin.

She felt like someone was strangling her neck! When Melody saw Christine shiver, she sneered and asked coldly, "Did I tell you to speak?"

Melody's arrogant attitude infuriated Reagan.She pulled Christine behind her and stood in front of Melody herself.

"Christine doesn't have to talk, but I have the right to speak to you.So don't go too far, Melody!"

Reagan bravely announced.

"You claim that you didn't humiliate me, but what do you mean when you said those words to Luke? They said that we are not even on the same level.How come? I even doubt if you truly understand music!"

Melody took a few steps forward and closed the distance between her and Reagan.

She was much taller than Reagan, and with the aura she gave off, it seemed that she could easily crush Reagan into smithereens.

"I said?"

Melody started to say as she leaned in to whisper in Reagan's ear, "I wasn't the person who said those words.But if you want to blame me for what Luke and Lance said, then fine!"

Then Melody straightened and swept her cold gaze at Christine and the two other girls beside her.

The three women were so scared that their bodies trembled, and their faces turned pale at Melody's stare.

Melody was unsympathetic and continued indifferently, "As for those exaggerating words, if you want to tell them to me, then I permit you to do so.But only if you have the guts to say so!"

Something cold and fierce flashed through Melody's exquisite face, and Reagan was unfortunate enough to see such expression on her face.

It was like looking at the deepest and coldest part of an icy ocean! Reagan gasped in horror.

A few seconds later and Reagan started to tremble.

Melody was giving off such a threatening aura, and Reagan couldn't make a sound.

Her throat had become dry, and it felt like something was stuck in her throat.

Reagan's reaction was completely within Melody's expectations.

Melody refused to let Reagan off the hook and continued to look at the latter with contempt.

Then with a soft, gentle voice that didn't reflect in her eyes, Melody continued, "We're different, you and I.And Luke and the others are right.How can you be so sure that I don't know music?"

Her arrogant tone and attitude left Reagan astounded.She felt like Melody had just slapped her without even doing so.

Reagan was so taken aback that she unconsciously took two steps back before she could steady herself.

She paused for a few seconds.

And when Reagan found her voice, she said, "Fine! Since you said so, then come up and play a song.Many of the people here are people with music skills.We'll let them be the judge.If you lose, then you'll apologize to me!"

Reagan refused to believe that she would lose against Melody, an unlucky star who came back from the countryside.

With the ten years worth of training she had, there was no way Melody could ever defeat her!

"But why should I compete with you?" Melody asked.

Her carefree attitude annoyed Reagan.

She looked at Melody angrily as if she was looking at an enemy, and she raised her voice.

"Melody, are you afraid of a little friendly competition?"

Melody let out a mocking laugh.

"The concerto, the fifth note of the third and seventh section, and the second note of the fourth section...Did I get that right?"

Reagan's face turned deathly pale and bloodless.

How could it be? How did Melody know? Students would always be watching in the music room every time Reagan showed up to practice.

And to show that she was much better than them, Reagan would always choose a more difficult song than the last time she practiced.

Today, the notes Reagan had missed were the exact notes that Melody just pointed out.

But Reagan was sure that she covered her mistakes carefully.

No one should have noticed her mistakes unless they were a musical expert.

So how did Melody discover it? Christine turned extremely anxious when Reagan took some time to respond.She had wanted to take this opportunity to teach Melody a lesson, but she didn't expect Reagan to be so weak.

So Christine could only lash out on her own.

"Melody, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you think that you can fool everyone with just a few words? Everyone here is an expert in music.And no one said that there was a problem with Reagan's playing, so what are you trying to lie for?"

Melody looked undeterred.She kept her cold gaze at Reagan while she suggested to Christine.

"Then, why don't you ask Reagan if I'm really lying or not?"
