Reading the message from Sophie Thorne, Melody Summers was momentarily surprised. ’Simon Lancaster is actually dating another woman?’
In her past life, Simon Lancaster never had a girlfriend. He was like a loyal knight, always silently watching over Sylvia Lancaster from the shadows.
Even after Sylvia Lancaster got together with Flynn Adler, Simon Lancaster remained unrepentantly lovelorn.
’Looks like the Lancasters have fallen on truly hard times in this life, forcing even Simon to sell himself.’
Melody Summers couldn’t help but sneer. ’In my past life, the Lancasters used me as a pawn in a marriage alliance, and I was endlessly humiliated by Ethan Sutton. Now it’s Simon Lancaster’s turn to get a taste of it.’
Melody Summers thought for a moment before replying, "Yes, that’s him. You might not believe this, but he has inappropriate feelings for his own sister, Sylvia Lancaster. You should warn Ronan Rhodes’s cousin to be careful. Don’t let him fool her."
Melody Summers studied the photo again. In it, Simon Lancaster had his head slightly bowed with a sycophantic smile, but his eyes betrayed a barely concealed greed.
Melody Summers snorted. ’Compared to a brute like Silas Lancaster who only knows how to use a knife, the cunning Simon Lancaster is far more dangerous.’
In her past life, Silas Lancaster had always believed Sylvia Lancaster was the most innocent and kind-hearted person. He couldn’t see through her facade and was completely fooled, used by her as a pawn.
But Simon Lancaster was different. His feelings for Sylvia were requited. He knew about her schemes and her underhanded tactics, but he doted on her all the same.
Every time Sylvia Lancaster framed Melody Summers, it was Simon Lancaster who deleted the surveillance footage and cleaned up her messes.
Whenever Melody Summers retaliated against Sylvia, Simon Lancaster would instruct the household maids to secretly add food she was allergic to into her meals for a week straight.
Just then, a reply came from Sophie Thorne: "No way? That’s insane! From what I can tell, Ronan’s cousin really likes Simon Lancaster. He’s trying to secure a project manager position, and she’s pulling strings for him everywhere, introducing him to all her contacts."
Melody Summers frowned as she read the message. Simon Lancaster joining Rhodes Enterprises in this life was an unexpected development, and it was not a good one for her.
If Simon Lancaster really managed to stage a comeback by latching onto the Rhodes Family, she would likely face even greater danger.
She had shot Silas Lancaster in the thigh today; she didn’t believe for a second that the Lancasters would let the matter rest.
Melody’s mind was heavy with concern. After a long moment of deliberation, she opened her email. She wrote a message detailing how Simon Lancaster’s brother, Silas, had committed a knife assault that very day and sent it to the Rhodes Enterprises complaints inbox.
Melody remembered that after the disasters began, Rhodes Enterprises had implemented extremely high hiring standards. Their background checks, in particular, were as rigorous as government security screenings.
With Silas showing up to attack someone with a knife, even if it didn’t get Simon fired, it would at least cause him some major headaches.
Thinking of everything from her past life, Melody had no intention of giving the Lancaster Family any chance to get back on their feet.
Rather than letting Simon Lancaster have an easy death, she much preferred the thought of watching his entire family struggle in a bottomless abyss.

The Rhodes Family’s ancestral estate was situated halfway up a mountain, the entire manor spanning nearly 20,000 square meters. The members of the Rhodes family attending the New Year’s Eve party were all gathered in the front courtyard.
Roman Rhodes paid no mind to the festivities in the front courtyard, driving directly into the rear courtyard instead.
The rear courtyard was much quieter. Over the years, his sons and grandsons had all moved out for the sake of their careers, leaving only Mr. Rhodes and his staff of butlers and servants in the enormous villa.
