His Heiress Wife (Retika) Chapter 55: She is Lying!

Melody dashed towards the room of her first class.

When she entered, everybody turned their heads and stared at her.

The room suddenly turned quiet.

The students fixed their gazes at her shamelessly, gazing her from head to toe.

Everyone was wearing a uniform except Melody.

She was just wearing a white, plain t-shirt and jeans.

But even with her simple clothes, she could clearly catch anyone's attention with the way she carried
herself.

Despite the number of looks that she had on her, Melody's unbothered expression didn't change even
for a bit.

She was looking straight with her stoic expression as she walked to an empty seat.

However, before she could even reach the armchair, Lance already stood up.He held and pulled the
empty chair.He looked at Melody and gestured to the chair.

"Sit here, please,'’ he said.

Melody glanced at him and nodded her head gently.Her physical appearance was surely an exquisite
kind.She could even resemble the looks of a Barbie doll.

However, that moment, Melody's action was like of ahandsome man.



When he saw that Melody agreed without fighting or getting annoyed with him, Lance's lips curled into
a smile.

In his opinion, his relationship with Melody had completely taken a step forward from friendship.

Lance was considered a campus crush in Sanguine High School.

Several girls in Class Eight had a crush on him.

He was mostly known for having a cold and mysterious personality, so when he suddenly chuckled,
everyone was stunned.

Some even squealed when they saw his smiling eyes.

A girl, who had a crush on him for so long, couldn't restrain herself anymore so she grabbed her
seatmate's hand tightly.

"Oh my gosh! Did you see that? Lance Harrison just laughed! He's so handsome!" She shrieked
excitedly.

"Yeah, he is so hot! But why is he smiling at Melody, the weirdo? She's so unworthy of Lance!" The girl
said dramatically.

"Shh! Lower your voice.You'll definitely be in deep trouble if anyone would hear you!"

Melody sat down, she grabbed her backpack and placed it on her desk.

Then, she buried her head with her arms on the desk to sleep.

She didn't even greet or thank Lance.

The students in the room started forming in circles, probably to talk about Melody.



"Didn't you say that Melody sent a notice of absence from school earlier? She didn't attend her classes
this morning.But why is she here again in the afternoon?" A guy said in a hushed voice.

"I don't know.Maybe the Sullivan family donated a building or something in our school.We all know how
easy itis when you have money, right?" Someone replied.

Everyone glanced at Melody with disgust and contempt.

If not for Lance protecting her, some people would have already confronted or started a fight with
Melody.

That afternoon, their first subject happened to be Mathematics again.

They also had the same subject in the morning.

Earlier, when Ms.Scott, the Math teacher, entered the room and found Melody's empty seat, she
smirked in satisfaction.

The teacher thought that inept students like Melody Sullivan wouldn't be able to survive in his class.

So when she saw Melody in her seat when she came in, her eyebrows raised in surprise.She wasn't
expecting her to attend the class.

To make things worse, Melody was sleeping again! Fuming with anger, Ms.Scott walked to the podium
and dropped her folder on the desk loudly, making everybody freeze in their seats.

"What's going on? Why is this slow-witted and lazy girl still in my class?" She asked in a high-pitched
voice as she pointed her finger towards Melody.

The whole class fell silent.

Lance, on the other hand, clasped his hands tightly.



He felt like their teacher had gone too far.He raised his hand, wanting to defend Melody, but a hand
stopped him.

Melody, who was asleep earlier, raised her head from her desk slowly and leaned against the back of
her chair.

She stretched her neck from side to side, as if she just had a very good nap.

Seth took her to lunch earlier so she only had less than half an hour to rest.She was very sleepy.

'This teacher is as noisy and annoying as a fly! She also kept on blabbering! How annoying, Melody
thought to herself.

Lance turned his head and glanced at Melody.

Irritation was written all over her beautiful face.

Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed as she stared at the teacher in front with her a cold and terrifying
gaze.For some reason, Lance could already tell in advance that Ms.Scott would be in big trouble.

Ms.Scott noticed the way Melody was looking at her.Even from afar, she could clearly see the
annoyance in Melody's expression.Ms.Scott's anger grew even more.

"Oh, Miss Sullivan, do you think that I'm scared of you? Well, I'm not, She scoffed."

Stop with the scary stares, I'm not gonna fall for that.

Didn't you already get kicked out of the school this morning? Well, a delinquent and a brainless student
like you would never belong here! And don't blame me for saying such words, Ms.Sullivan.After all, lam
in charge of developing your comprehension ability.You only finished middle school, and your



knowledge is very, very limited.I'm afraid you won't understand my lessons; She said, her voice was
filled with mockery.

Ms.Scott was one hell of a mean teacher.

The students glanced at Melody with small smiles, trying to hold back their laughter.

Ms.Scott stood confidently and raised her chin, satisfied with the students' reactions to her speech.

She perked one of her eyebrows as she stared at Melody.

"If you're aware of your capabilities, then don't embarrass yourself and leave the class.If you didn't
appear this morning, why bother to attend the afternoon classes? If you continue to get on my nerves, I
will call the guards to kick you out.Just a little reminder, dear, I'm just trying to protect you from the
embarrassment you would get in the future!"

Melody raised her eyebrow and looked at Ms.Scott who was standing proudly on the podium in front.

An evil smile formed on her face.

"Who told you that I quit school in the morning?" She asked Yesterday, Ms.Scott personally asked her
father-in-law to talk with the school principal.

He had to kick Melody out of Sanguine High School, or else, he would withdraw his shares from the
school.

Ms.Scott didn't think that Melody would be able to handle the pressure that their school had on the
students.

It was a prestigious school for intelligent students.



She couldn't fit in there! And if anyone dared to go against the Math teacher, they would seriously need
to rethink their life choices.

"Don't be stubborn, Ms.Sullivan.Didn't you drop out of school? Or did you ask for a leave?"

Ms.Scott asked Melody sarcastically.

"Give me a valid excuse,' She added and smiled at her dryly.

"Excuse? I don't have any excuses.I asked for a leave." Melody replied calmly.

There were no hints of fear or panic in her face and voice.

Ms.Scott laughed hysterically.She narrowed her eyes at Melody, anger was more evident in her gaze.

"When I said that you're a rude brat, I wasn't lying! It just shows, Ms.Sullivan.I'll find a way for you to
get out of here.You'll be an obedient girl, right?"

She stated.

Ms.Scott widened her eyes, showing everyone, especially Melody, how angry she was.

"I don't believe you, Ms.Sullivan.If it was true that you were not expelled, and you only asked for a
leave, I would eat this chalk right here, right now” Ms.Scott declared confidently.

Melody suddenly stood up and fixed her gaze at Ms.Scott.

Her hands were resting inside the pocket of her jeans, a lazy smile was etched on her face.

"Okay.You're the one who said that” She replied.

Melody glanced at Lance.He immediately knew what she meant.



Lance quietly went out of the classroom and looked for Ms.

Watson, their homeroom teacher.

He found her inside the faculty office, buried with her laptop and the piles of papers on her desk.He
immediately requested her to go to their classroom.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Ms.Watson.But, did Melody really file for leave this morning?" He asked
quickly.

Although confused with everyone's sudden curiosity, Ms.

Watson nodded her head slowly.

"Yes, she did.Why? Is everything all right? Didn't you have to handle something at home, Melody?"
