Her Hidden Hero from the Unwritten Page novel Chapter 22

Compounded by the fact that her mother had passed away early and her father never remarried—opting instead to just throw money at her—Melody didn't understand the unwritten rules of elite society. She didn't know how to do her makeup properly and always stood out awkwardly at parties, making a fool of herself.

In her previous life, Winona hadn't interacted much with Melody. That was because she had too many friends and plenty of sycophants surrounding her.

But after the Lennox family fell from grace, those so-called friends distanced themselves, terrified of being dragged down. Only Melody extended a helping hand, offering her a bank card.

However, Winona had ultimately refused it. At that time, her uncle had already acquired all the shares under Clarence Lennox's name, becoming the majority shareholder and the undisputed head of the Lennox Group. The Sterling family was just an empty shell, and there was no reason for them to offend a giant like the Lennox Group for her sake.

Melody let out a soft "Oh," then continued asking, "Why did you leave without saying goodbye yesterday?"

Winona patiently explained, "My dress got ruined, so there was no point in staying."

"I see," Melody said. "Actually..."

She paused, waving her hand to motion for the other girl to lean in.

Catching on, Winona leaned closer.

Melody whispered breathlessly, "I think that Rhea Sawyer spilled her drink on you on purpose."

Winona was slightly surprised; she hadn't expected someone who usually kept quiet to be so observant.

"What makes you say that?"

Twirling her hair, Melody said smugly, "Because I could tell that Rhea likes Herbert."

"Does Herbert like Rhea?" Winona asked.

Melody stopped twirling her hair for a moment. "Do you really want to know?"

"Yes," Winona nodded.

Melody clicked her tongue. "But it's going to upset you."
