A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 284

Melody's tone indicated she wasn't bluffing, and her gaze was just as earnest.

She continued to stare at Jeremy, as if wanting to see his reaction, but he still had the same expression.

Looking at her, he said calmly, "You don't have evidence that ties her to this."

Melody answered, "Exactly, which is why it's such a pity."

She didn't know whether recent events had affected her, but she felt like her mindset had changed significantly. She could no longer approach everyone with the kindness she once had. Human nature was just inherently evil.

…

By the time they left the law firm, it was already noon.

Melody was about to tell Jeremy that she was going to make a move when she heard him say, "Let's see Dennis this afternoon."

"Why?"

Jeremy answered nonchalantly, "I still believe that it's not the best solution to let things escalate to this point. You realize that this means you're cutting ties with the Wardolf family, right? You need to be sure whether you can handle the consequences or not."

Harold had said that he didn't know how to communicate with Melody, so he was going to list everything out very clearly for her.

The relationship between Dennis and Krystal meant that there was no way the Wardolfs would stay out of it.

Moreover, Melody was the Wardolfs' adoptive daughter. As long as she held that identity, then public opinion would always place her a step below others.

Melody answered softly, "I know all of that, Jeremy. I'm not as stupid as you think."

Her gaze dropped as she said that, and she stared at the shadows the trees cast on the ground.

She had always known that she was adopted and that she owed a debt of gratitude to the Wardolfs. Technically, as soon as Krystal said something, she should've stopped pursuing this matter with Dennis, but she couldn't.

Melody knew in her heart exactly what she wanted. Raising her head, she looked at Jeremy, the determination obvious in her crystal clear eyes.

"Even if you say it ten more times, I'll still insist on what I'm doing now. I must get that apology, and it has to be done publicly and openly."

Melody refused to go to the hospital, but Andrew's call soon came.

He didn't say anything other than ask her to go to the Wardolf residence.

She knew full well what he was up to, but she couldn't refuse him.

…

When they arrived, Melody realized that it wasn't just Andrew. Krystal and Sybil were there too.

Andrew's gaze fell on Jeremy first. He frowned, looking a little uneasy. "Why are you here too, Jeremy?"

Jeremy's expression remained unchanged. "I took her to Zephyr Law Group earlier, so I gave her a ride here too."

It was clear to everyone that he was standing up for Melody.

Andrew's expression fell, but he quickly regained his composure. He pretended to sound surprised. "Why the sudden visit to Zephyr Law Group?"

Then, he turned to Melody, his expression stern. "Mel, have you caused trouble for Jeremy again?"
