"Sorry, but I don't know who your employer is. Are you sure you've got the right person?" asked Melody.
Edmund remained composed and handed 200 dollars to Melody. "My employer said that Miss Melody will remember upon seeing this."
"That's..." Melody looked at the crumpled money and recalled the events from that morning.
'Wait, so this suited guy is talking about the one I spent the night with? He seemed pretty important. Is this visit about settling scores?' Melody wondered.
Melody became a little frightened. She turned to see Wendy looking at her with suspicion.
'If I argue with this guy right now, I won't be able to keep last night's events a secret. Wendy didn't benefit from it, and she won't let it go. She'll definitely use this against me! Instead of going back and getting stabbed in the back by Wendy in front of Mom and Dad, maybe it's better to see what this guy's employer wants...' thought Melody.
"Okay, I'll go with you," said Wendy.
Under Wendy's puzzled gaze, Melody got into the car with Edmund, and they quickly drove away.
Watching the luxury car leave, Wendy felt a pang of jealousy and confusion. "How does Melody know someone with such a fancy car?" "Hey, Wendy, did Melody just come back? I thought I heard her voice." Helen stepped out of the house, only to find Wendy at the door. Wendy snapped out of her thoughts. She then nodded and said slyly, "Yeah, she did come back, but she got picked up by a guy again."
"What? Who took her? She didn't tell me she wouldn't be coming home last night. Why did she leave again so soon after coming back?" asked Helen worriedly.
Wendy scoffed and walked into the house. "What else could it be? A girl staying out all night must be fooling around with a guy! I just saw her getting into a fancy car with a married man. She's probably going to be a mistress for some rich guy! Helen, you should keep a better watch over Melody so she won't do such shameless things!"
"What? Being a mistress? Melody would never..." Helen looked at Wendy in disbelief, unable to accept that her daughter could do such a thing. "Impossible. Melody has never even been in a relationship. How could she..."
At that moment, Ethan Sander descended the stairs and heard Helen's words. "What's going on? What happened to Melody?"
"Dad, Melody has become a mistress to a wealthy man. She probably won't be staying home much anymore," Wendy lied shamelessly. Her poker face hid any trace of remorse as she secretly relished the thought of Melody getting a good scolding upon her return.
Ethan was usually occupied with work. He was not overly involved in family matters, but he held family values in high regard. Messy scandals were something he detested the most in the family. "What? Who's this man she's involved with?! How could my daughter stoop so low?" Ethan expressed his disdain while side-eyeing Helen.
