A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 24

Melody's dress was white with thin straps. It looked simple and elegant, but it was a bit too large. She used two small clips on the sides to keep it from hanging loosely.

Laura cast her a glance and said flatly, "She can't pull off couture anyway. It's a waste of money every time. Krystal is way better at this. She takes care of her own outfit."

Melody stood there with her eyes lowered. A specialized styling studio did her hair and makeup.

Every time there was a big event, they dolled her up. She just had to follow Andrew around for a while, and then she was done. Her purpose was to show that Andrew was truly kindhearted.

The Regallo Group wasn't a small company, and the Wardolf family had a major influence in Jembina.

Many people from the industry showed up, along with plenty of reporters.

After Melody finished her assigned rounds with Andrew, she no longer had to stay in the main area.

Andrew didn't like her socializing with others.

It was crowded and noisy inside. Melody's ears felt uncomfortable, so she found a quiet corner.

Felicia arrived with her father, dealt with some socializing, and found Melody. "Hey, babe, who did your makeup today? It doesn't suit you at all."

Melody had a sweet, innocent face, but they had used a mature style of makeup that made her look a bit older.

Besides, Andrew wanted to highlight her hearing issues, so the stylist exposed her ears, making her hearing aid visible.

"The dress is old-fashioned," Felicia said, eyeing Melody from head to toe with distaste.

Melody asked, "Aren't you going to mingle with your dad?"

Felicia shrugged. "I don't have to. I'm here in my capacity as a reporter. I only caught a ride with him."

"There are definitely more reporters here than usual," Melody said. "The past events never had such a big crowd."

"You don't know why?" Felicia asked.

Melody looked puzzled.

Felicia sighed. "Tessa is here today."

She didn't go on, but Melody understood. Half the reporters were here for the Wardolf family's banquet, while the others came for Melody and Tessa.

Andrew had already made Melody's identity public.

The Wardolfs' adopted daughter leaking the female CEO's critical illness would have been a huge story. The reporters were likely digging for more details.

Felicia patted Melody's arm sympathetically. "Don't worry. They won't actually do anything to you. Once the hospital gets proof you're innocent, you'll be fine."
