''What''s going on? Didn''t Wendy promise she''de backst night?'' Melody thought with a heavy heart. After all, she lost something precious because of a one-night stand with a stranger.
Lucas thought she was just acting and did not want to get involved with her. He took out his credit card and threw it onto the bed, saying, "There''s enough in there for you to live without working for the rest of your life. Take the money, and never show your face in front of me again."
Melody was stunned as she felt a deep sense of humiliation from Lucas. "Who wants your stinking money?!"This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Then, she went to the bathroom and quickly put on her clothes. When she returned, she took 200 dors from her wallet and tossed them onto Lucas.
"We''re even now. Last night was my bad luck, so don''t bother me again!" said Melody, returning what Lucas said to her. She then quickly left before he could react.
After taking a taxi home, Melody walked in just as Wendy was about to step out.
Upon seeing Melody back, Wendy was particrly furious. She rushed up and pped her face harshly.
"Where did you gost night, Melody?!"
Just five minutes ago, Wendy believed her scheming had paid off. Thus, she called William, hoping he would stick to his earlier promise and secure the role for her.
However, William exploded in anger when Wendy called him. "Wendy, do you have any shame? How dare you call me and demand a role! Just what are you trying to pull? You hyped up your sister''s looks and body. I was eagerly waiting at the hotel all night, and not a single woman showed up. Fine. Since you were bold enough to toy with me, don''t even dream of getting a role from me ever again!"
Without giving her a chance to exin, William abruptly ended the call. Wendy not only endured a scolding but also lost a role she had been yearning for. Thus, she was full of anger and had nowhere to vent it Melody walked in at that moment, so she ended up being Wendy''s emotional punching bag.
Melody was bewildered by Wendy''s p and sensed that something was off. "Wendy, why did you hit me? You told me to go to the room you booked and said you''d look for me afterward. You weren''t there this morning!"
Wendy red at her with burning anger in her eyes. "Just who are you trying to fool, Melody? You never went to the room I booked for youst night! Mister William waited for you all night in that room, and you stood him up! Where were you, then?"
"Mister William?" Melody caught onto the crucial point. "Who is he? Wendy, just what did you n for me to dost night?"
Wendy thought there was no point hiding her plot from Melody since everything was out.
"Mister William is the investor for the television drama ''Dreamlike.'' ording to my n, you were supposed to spend the night with him, and then the leading role in the drama would be mine. Everything has gone down the drain thanks to you."
Melody finally understood what happenedst night. She realized that Wendy had not sought constion for a broken heart or a drinkingpanion. It was all a ploy to get her into William''s bed!
"So you were trying to sell me outst night?!" Melody felt an intense ache in her heart. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she shouted, "I''ve always treated you like a sister, Wendy! How could you do this to me?!"
Wendy was momentarily taken aback by her outburst but quickly regainedposure. "So what? You were always the odd one out in our family. Shouldn''t you feel honored to have some value in helping me out?"
Melody cried. Even though they were half-sisters and Wendy often bullied her, Melody always considered her a true sister.
She never thought she was merely amodity Wendy could use and be discarded at will.
As the two argued, a sleek ck luxury car pulled up in front of them. Then, a man in a ck suit stepped out and approached them.
After a briefparison with a photo, he fixed his eyes on Melody, saying, "Miss Melody, right? I''ve been tasked by my employer to escort you to him."
"Your boss?" Melody tried to remember but could not recall any high-flying businessperson she knew.
