Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 105

What the boys uploaded about Melanie caused quite a stir on the internet, and her ignorance, especially, became a massive joke among the netizens.

‘Why can’t she tell a girl from a guy?’

‘This is considered cheating, isn’t it?’

‘Why do I feel like she just has a problem with Vania?’

‘What’s this woman’s relationship with President Luke?’

‘The Greysons seem like a complicated family.’

That was just the internet; one would only see what was fed to them, and no one would be able to figure out the true story.

The whole internet was now talking about Melanie, and no thanks to her, Greyson Realty’s stocks tanked.

Josie had to spend loads at the police station before she could bail Melanie out.

Eventually, Melanie returned home with disheveled hair. She was completely shaken, and she allowed her mother to drag her to wherever.

On the other hand, George flew into a rage upon seeing her. “You vile wench!”

With that, he gave her a hard slap on the face. “Ah! How can you slap me, Dad?!”

“Look at what you’ve done! You’re a disgrace to our family!”

Melanie was filled with utter grievances, hurt and mad, looking at her father with red-rimmed eyes as she held her stinging cheek. Never once had she been physically punished growing up. She had just come

home from the police station, and lo and behold, she got a slap out of nowhere!

“Greyson Realty’s stocks have tanked all thanks to you, you vile wench!”

All George ever cared about was himself and no one else; not now, and certainly not in the future.

Meanwhile, Melanie naturally knew what George’s words entailed. “What does it have to do with me?”

“What does it have to do with you? You’ve been arrested, yet you tell me this has nothing to do with you?!” George raised his hand again, wanting to give her a good beating upon hearing that she still wanted to deny her faults.

Josie hurriedly stood in front of Melanie and dissuaded him, crying plaintively, “She has already realized her mistakes, dear. Please don’t punish her anymore. She only wanted to win Hanson’s heart back and help Greyson Realty, but Vania still holds a grudge toward what happened to her five years ago, so she keeps picking on Melanie. Never mind that she drives a wedge between Melanie and Hanson’s relationship, but she even framed Melanie during the event.”

Josie’s words got George to put his hand down, but he still retorted with a frown, “What does this have to do with Vania? I merely slapped her back then. Is it necessary for her to act like this?”

“As if you don’t know her temper. She’d seek revenge for even the smallest things. Look at how peaceful our lives used to be; now that she’s back, it’s complete chaos,” Josie said, wanting to shift all the blame to Vania. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

It had become apparent to her now; ever since the meeting at the restaurant, George was hell-bent on having Vania come home.

However, if she returned, what place would there be for her and Melanie in this house?!

Meanwhile, George fell into deep thought for quite some time before he finally turned to Melanie. “Look at how unkempt you are. No daughter of mine should look like this. Go and get yourself cleaned up now!”

“Take it easy, dear. I’ll take her upstairs now.” With that, Josie hurriedly took her daughter away. “Hurry up.”

At that, Melanie muttered a response before letting Josie drag her upstairs. When they had just reached the stairs, George’s cold order could be heard. “Find a way to get to Hanson. Greyson Realty still needs his help to get over this crisis. If you can’t do it, ask Vania.”

Josie and Melanie exchanged glances reflexively, panic-stricken.
