A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 148

Melody didn't want to talk about anything related to Jeremy, so she changed the subject and asked Felicia, "So, how's the orphanage doing these days? I bought them some new food last time."

Speaking of that, Felicia fell silent for a moment before looking at Melody. "Melody, are you hiding something from us?"

She'd bought food and made an anonymous donation to the orphanage—something was definitely going on.

Melody wasn't sure how to tell them about this. She lowered her eyelashes, thinking of brushing it off, but Jason, who had been watching her, looked serious and said, "No, don't lie."

Melody closed her eyes and remained silent. She felt unsettled because of this whole situation. Honestly, she didn't know how to handle it.

Because it wasn't just about the Regallo Group or the Celestial Group, a single company. It involved all the charity organizations in Javelle and Jembina, as well as the companies participating in the charity projects.

The seriousness of the situation had been emphasized by Denvin, and she knew it well herself.

Felicia and Jason exchanged a look before Felicia spoke up, "Melody, there are some things you should tell us so we can figure out a way to handle it together."

After a long pause, Melody finally spoke, her voice trembling, "From the very beginning, we've been deceived by them."

…

When the meeting ended, everyone was silent.

Felicia took a deep breath and spoke to Melody, "Don't worry, we'll figure out how to handle this. As for Madam Callahan... let's think carefully about how to word things before we talk to her."

Melody nodded. There was really no other way at the moment.

A small orphanage had no way to fight against such a huge capital.

As they walked out, it was raining outside. Melody had just planned to go back to the store to borrow an umbrella when she saw a figure walking toward her.

Jeremy was holding an umbrella, his face expressionless as he walked over. He looked down at Melody and elaborated calmly, "I tried calling you, but you didn't answer."
