Divorce and Freedom: No More Homemaker for Him
Chapter 601 Welcome Gift
Finisher
Ayla continued, “If you want to keep making me laugh, then go ahead and keep cursing. All it does is remind me I once had the guy you’ll never touch. Want me to keep feeling smug around you? Then don’t stop. Every time I picture you losing it like a rabid dog because of me, my bad mood will disappear?
Melody’s eyes flew open, burning red with anger.
Ayla completely followed through on ignoring her. Her look was cool and flat, like Melody didn’t exist. Then she grabbed Halle–who had been ready to jump in for her–and walked away as if nothing had happened.
Being brushed off like that was humiliating.
Especially for Melody. She’d been holding that resentment for months. She rushed over, sure she’d get to see Ayla suffer. Instead, it felt like swinging at air and embarrassing herself.
It was beyond humiliating. Being openly shamed by someone she looked down on pushed Melody to the brink. She lunged forward, about to go after Ayla.
At that moment, a bodyguard stepped in and blocked her.
“Get out of my way!”
The bodyguard was expressionless, like a robot carrying out orders. He covered her mouth and dragged her toward the warehouse.
Fabiola froze. She could tell he wasn’t a normal event guard. Her people were all outside. She never expected something could happen inside the venue.
After hesitating for a moment, she followed.
Could Ayla be behind it?
It was already shocking enough that Ayla had managed to date Draven. That sister she’d never met was turning out far more interesting than expected. Fabiola couldn’t help being curious.
Meanwhile, Melody realized the bodyguard wasn’t just stopping her from causing trouble. He was targeting her.
Fear crept in. Luckily, she spotted Fabiola following from the corner of her eye. Fabiola would help.
People in the hall started staring, watching the scene unfold.
All of that humiliation was because of Ayla.
That bitch!
Since expensive artwork was stored inside, the exhibition warehouse was huge and strictly off–limits. Once Melody was dragged in, the door slammed shut.
Fabiola was blocked outside.

That was when Melody truly panicked.
She was tossed into a corner. As she reached for her phone to call the police, it was snatched away.
A slap came out of nowhere, snapping across her face.
Pain exploded, and Melody screamed.
“Who are you? How dare you hit me?!”
The bodyguard was from special forces. Following orders was second nature, and he gave off a deadly chill.
He was like a cold, emotionless machine. Her screams and accusations didn’t even make him blink.
“Hit her again. I want to see blood this time.”
That voice oozed arrogance.
Melody had met all kinds of people. Anyone who spoke like that had to be a rich girl.
Before she could think more, another hard slap landed. Her teeth cut into her cheek, and blood filled her mouth instantly. A streak ran down the corner of her lips.
Her vision blurred, and her mind went blank for a few seconds.
Melody was still a well–known socialite from Zheron. Her family might not compare to the Storms, but they were worth hundreds of billions. She was a real rich kid.
Not to mention her brother, Herman. Even though he hadn’t taken over the family business, his connections were vast. His influence alone outweighed the family’s. Aside from her one–sided obsession with Draven, Melody had never faced real setbacks. Being slapped like that was pure disgrace.
No. It wasn’t just humiliation. It was a shock.
She couldn’t accept it. Forget the insult–the burning pain on her face was already unbearable. She had never suffered physically like that.
Trembling with rage, Melody snapped, “Who is it?! Come out!”
Bria stepped out of the shadows, with Andrew following behind her.
“Hi there,” Bria said with a smile. “This is my little welcome gift. Do you like it?”
Bria looked like someone who’d never known hardship. Her eyes and brows were full of arrogance, and her beauty made that sharp edge feel almost flashy. She was wild and striking, but her youth made her seem easier to challenge than she really was. Something about her deep–set eyes felt familiar to Melody, but she couldn’t place it.
It was definitely another rich girl, and her temper looked even worse than Melody’s.
Melody sneered. “Do I know you?”

“Nope. But now we do.”
“You hit me!”
“I slapped you twice. You’ll remember me forever, right? That’s more than enough of an introduction.”
Melody glanced at the bodyguard, then at Bria and the white–haired man behind her. She knew she was at a disadvantage. All she could do now was hope Fabiola would hurry up and bring bodyguards.
“Looks like your memory sucks,” Bria said casually, signaling the bodyguard to continue.
He stepped forward without hesitation.
Melody screamed, her tone flipping instantly. “Don’t–ah!”
