Chapter 328
Charlie was in a daze.
His memory flashed back to more than ten years ago. At that time, he was still young and had a beautiful and gentle wife by his side. He also had an adorable daughter.
The one-year-old child would rub his stubble and giggle.
She would stumble and run toward him when she was hobbling
When he held her, Charlie could still smell the baby smell on her.
At that time, Charlie swore that he would do his best to give his beloved wife and daughter everything he had.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years passed.
He felt distressed and guilty at the thought of the changes over these years.
Charlie closed his eyes and looked at his wife seriously. He said slowly, “Don’t do this.”
His simple words ruined all of Thalia’s expectations, as well as Melody’s
She heard these words with her own ears in the examination room just a door away. When she heard Charlie’s answer, she felt overwhelmingly disappointed.
She wondered what kind of situation would make her parents, who clearly had the strength and financial resources, not acknowledge their biological daughter.
After thinking about it, she thought that there was only one possibility.
Melody felt sarcastic, but knowingly, tears streamed down her face.
She thought, ‘No one has ever asked me if this is fair to me. They all treat me like something unwanted, shoving me to the others. What did I do wrong?’
Melody sobbed. Her eyes were red, and faint hatred appeared in them.
The nurse behind her asked, “You may go out now. What’s wrong
“I’m fine. Melody wiped her tears. She then opened the door and walked out.
The Kelley couple who were still arguing tacitly shut their mouths.
Melody said, “Mr. and Mrs. Kelley, thank you for your help today. I’m fine. It’s just some minor injuries. I’ll be fine after resting for a few days. Thank you for your trouble.”
Thalia said, “No worries.”
“I can go back by myself. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Kelley, for covering my medical bills. I’ll definitely repay your kindness. when I can. Thank you!” With that, Melody nodded and left with the prescribed medicine.
“Wait!” Thalia stopped her. After hesitating a few times, he slowly said, “Take care. Also… you’re welcome to visit us when you’re free.
“Okay.” With that, Melody turned around and smiled sweetly. Then, she quickly left.
On the way back in the car, the usually loving couple, Charlie and Thalia, had unprecedented arguments and disagreements.

Chapter 328
“You’re so selfish! You’re just so selfish!” Thalia was furious. I mu’ve been blind to marry you back then!”
No matter what she said. Charlie remained rational and calm. He replied softly, “Don’t be like this. We reached an agreement yesterday. And I promise you, they won’t dare to do again!”
He believed that the check for 200 thousand dollars was enough for the Princeton couple to spend for a while.
Charlie thought that at most, if they spent all of the money, he would give them more.
Even if they kept asking for more, he would take it. In any case, Charlie could afford to give them what they wanted. It was better than letting this situation get worse.
It wasn’t that Thalia didn’t understand these principles. She was just angry and really couldn’t let go of this worry.
She didn’t know that Melody was her daughter in the past, but now, she could not even acknowledge her biological daughter. She could only watch Melody suffer alone.
With this thought in mind, Thalia simply turned around. It was unknown if she was angry with herself or Charlie, but she ignored him and was aggressive.
It was the first time the chauffeur saw the two of them arguing. He was quite shocked, but he did not dare to say anything.
Soon, the car drove back to Cedar Ridge Villa.
At this moment, in the villa, Tiffany had been back for quite a while.
The servant beside her smiled and said, “Ms. Kelley, you’re finally back. Mr. and Mrs. Kelley have been worried about you They’ve been sleeping late these past few days and have been looking forward to your return.
Tiffany asked, “Where are they?”
The servant replied, “They said they had something on and went out. They’ll probably be back soon.”
Just as the servant finished speaking, the sound of a car engine could be heard outside.

Tiffany stood up and walked out of the house with a bright smile. She originally wanted to give them a surprise, but after Thalia got out of the car, she did not even look at Tiffany and went straight in..
Then, with a bang, Thalia locked herself in the room.
Tiffany was stunned.
Then, she looked at her father and asked curiously, “Dad, what’s going on? Did you make my mother angry?”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Charlie denied it, “No.”
Charlie pinched her face and smiled amiably. “Hey, my precious daughter, you’re finally home. Tell me if you suffered in the mountains these few days. You didn’t suffer much, right?”
Tiffany answered. “No. I’m not a kid.”
Tiffany did not know how to react.
Charlie said, “What a relief. When Eric comes back from school later, let’s go out for dinner. Owen is running a restaurant in the center of the business district. Let’s go try out his restaurant!
Tiffany said, I’d like that.”
Since Owen was
running the restaurant, there was no reason for Tiffany to refuse.
Chapter 328
Back then, when Stan tried-up kidnap her, it was all thanks to Owen playing along with her that she was able to put on a show” in front of her father and let him realize how heartless Stan was.
Tiffany had always been very grateful to Owell.
However, no matter how Charlie changed the topic, he was unable to hide the strange atmosphere and the unnatural expression on his face.
Tiffany looked up and saw her father smiling elegantly. His eyes were filled with love and gentleness for her. He had the mature charm of a middle-aged man. He was tall, majestic, and elegant.
It looked like nothing had changed.
However, the traces of crying on his face and his bloodshot eyes could not escape Tiffany’s eyes.
Charlie wasn’t the only one who was acting weird. Tiffany noticed that Thalia’s eyes had been swollen since she entered the house.
However, Thalia was afraid that Tiffany would notice something amiss, so she ignored her for the first time and returned to her room without saying anything.
Tiffany looked down.
After watching her father enter the house, she used the excuse of taking a walk to go to the chauffeur, David.
David was washing the car. When he saw her, he quickly turned off the water and wiped his sweat. “Ms. Kelley, is there anything I can do for you?”
“Yes.” Tiffany went straight to the point. “David, I want to ask you, where did you guys go just now, and what happened?” “Well…” David was in a difficult position. It was obvious that he was asked not to disclose anything when he came back, so he stammered, “We didn’t go anywhere. We just went to the company for a short while and came back.”
“Is that so!” Tiffany clearly did not believe him.
But David insisted, “Yes!”
The more he tried to cover in up, the more!
suspicious it was
Tiffany raised her eyebrows and did not make things difficult for David. She turned around and returned to her room. she called June and asked her to investigate what happened when the Kelley couple went out that afternoon
Then,
June’s subordinates had quite some connections, so she replied not long after, “Ms. Kelley, Mr. and Mrs. Kelley went to Evergreen Street this afternoon and saved Melody who was beaten up. After that, they brought Melody to the hospital and came back.”
‘It’s related to Melody? With that thought in mind, Tiffany frowned.
On the phone, June continued, “Also, I sent my men to inquire about the Princeton family. I heard that Melody’s father excitedly went to get a car, which was paid by Mr. Kelley, I suppose.”
Saving people and giving money?
Tiffany was stunned for a moment, wondering why her parents had saved Melody and paid Melody’s father. She became more and more suspicions..
