A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 4

Jeremy was always well-mannered in front of the Wardolfs. There was no particular reason for this other than that they were Cheryl's parents.

Cheryl Wardolf was the Wardolf's biological daughter and Melody's older sister. She was also the one who was supposed to be engaged to Jeremy.

However, she died due to an accident on the eve of the engagement party.

Jeremy and Cheryl had once been a couple envied by everyone.

Lately, they were in the middle of the rainy season. Melody had gotten slightly wet in the short time frame to open her umbrella after getting out of the car. She instinctively shivered when she walked into the heated private room.

She walked up to her parents and greeted them respectfully.

Her adoptive mother, Laura Luden, ignored her while Andrew said indifferently, "Have a seat since you're here."

"Okay," Melody meekly answered before heading to sit next to Jeremy.

However, she had barely sat down when Laura's displeased voice rang out.

"You sat down just because you're told to? Do you think there's a seat for you here?"

Melody stiffened.

Jeremy, in that emotionless tone of his, reminded her, "Krystal's back."

A look of confusion crossed Melody's eyes. She was about to ask when the sound of high heels clicking on the floor sounded behind her.

Laura got to her feet, a big smile on her face. "Are you done with your phone call, Krys? Come here. We can ask them to start serving the food now."

A crisp, pleasant-sounding voice came from behind. "Excuse me, could you move? You're in my way."

Melody turned around belatedly, only to freeze in her spot when she saw who was standing behind her.

The woman standing there was tall and stunning, but her neat bob made her strikingly beautiful face appear slightly colder.

However, what made Melody freeze was that this lady closely resembled Cheryl.

Krystal Finnigan, the lady in question, frowned slightly. It is likely because of how blatantly Melody was staring at her.

"This is my seat," she said in a cool voice.

Melody finally came back to her senses, and in the midst of it all, the dots connected for her.

Cheryl had a younger twin sister who went missing when she was very young. It wasn't until recently that Andrew brought her back.

Melody continued to study Krystal. Her face was so similar to Cheryl's that there was no denying it. That, and Laura's attitude, made everything clear.

Laura was getting impatient. "Why are you still standing in the way? You're so oblivious."
