His Heiress Wife (Retika) Chapter 153: Treating the Rules as If They Are for Show

Luke was not afraid of Melody.

On the other hand, Luke and Lance were like sworn enemies.They would never resolve their dispute if
they did not settle it with a fight.

"Why should I listen to you? Wouldn't that be humiliating?"

Luke turned around just as he finished talking about Lance.

Instead, Luke took advantage of the situation to mess with Lance in front of Melody.

"Boss, you really can’t blame Lance.He hasn't seen much of the world yet.He's just too stunned by your
heavenly singing voice that he has lost his rhythm."

Luke's statement had single-handedly destroyed Lance's dignity and cover.

With that, Lance could no longer look Melody in the eye.

All Lance wanted to do at that moment was to attack Luke and fight him to the death.

"You little brat! How about you shut your foul mouth? Today, I have to teach you a lesson that you'll
never forget.I'll let you know just how much stronger I am than you!" Lance threatened Luke.

Melody did not bother to say anything when she saw Lance and Luke fighting again.

Melody stood quietly at the side like a spectator.She observed Lance's quick reflexes, which she
attributed to his traditional training background.

In comparison, Luke's movements were sneaky, and he was unapologetically street-smart.

Lance and Luke were an equal match in terms of strength and skill.



Melody thought of it like how young men usually vented their anger towards each other by fighting.

In the end, she decided not to interfere with their petty fight.

When she noticed that the two were slowly getting tired, Melody checked the time and decided to stop
them.

"Okay, wrap it up.It's time for us to go, or else it will be too late."

Lance and Luke were still going at it, but they immediately let go of each other when Melody
spoke.They quickly moved to follow Melody’s orders.

Luke glanced at Lance and said, "Hey, go grab your things and let's go! I'll drive up to the front and
park the truck there."

Lance was just about to retort, ‘Why?’ but stopped short.

He turned around and looked at his surroundings to find that he and Melody were the only ones left.

‘That's right.We can't let Melody do all the hard work.We should do the work for her instead" Lance
rationally thought.

Lance, who usually ate lavishly at the Harrison Residence and was not used to doing labor, was willing
to work hard for Melody.

The only thing Lance could be happy about was that Melody had given them a chance to rehearse.

If it weren't for the rehearsal, Lance would definitely embarrass himself in front of the entire school.

Lance did not expect Melody to be that incredible at singing.Her voice was music to his ears.

Lance never pursued celebrities, and he did not understand their appeal.



He believed that those people who liked chasing public figures were not very smart, which was why
they prioritized celebrities over themselves.

It was a complete waste of time, money, and effort.

But if someone asked Lance about it now, he was afraid that he wouldn't be sure of what to answer.

Lance would not hesitate to be Melody’s number one fan if she ever went into the entertainment
industry.He would even be a crazed, mindless fan.

Without a doubt, Melody sang incredibly well.

As Lance observed some parts of the show, he thought that no one could compare to Melody.

For Lance, Melody was undoubtedly the winner of the upcoming competition.

The event had already started when Melody, Lance, and Luke arrived at the venue together.

There were a total of twelve classes based on the list.It was still quite early for Melody and the rest of
them.

Luke had an uneasy feeling when he saw Christine and Reagan sitting at the judges' table.

"Why are those two morons sitting at the judges’ table?" Luke snorted in displeasure.

Lance turned towards the direction Luke was pointing, and his expression changed into a grimace.

"Christine and Reagan are both from the student union.On top of that, the two of them were in the top
three in the school's anniversary performance last year.The school has a tradition that the top three are
not required to participate in the auditions.They can directly proceed to the finals."

"That kind of rule exists? Who the hell came up with that?"



Lance narrowed his eyes at Luke.He disapproved of what Luke had said.

Luke suddenly understood the reason for Lance's glare.

It was because both of them were still students of this school.

If Luke continued to complain about the rules of the school, wouldn't that mean that he was indirectly
scolding both himself and Lance?

"Should we make some plans to change the rules, Boss?" Luke asked Melody softly with a flattering
smile.

Lance was surprised to hear Luke's words.

They were in a prestigious school.Not many upper-class children in California had the opportunity to
study in this school.

The power that this school possessed was difficult to grasp.

The school's rules and regulations could not be changed by a random Tom, Dick, and Harry.

Even Lance would find it incredibly difficult to do so, even as the youngest son of the Harrison family.

Lance could not help but gape at Luke in surprise when he confidently said he wanted to change the
school rules.

Luke sounded so relaxed and unaware of the gravity of what he said.

On the other hand, Melody calmly responded to Luke's question.

"Why don't we take a look at it first?" Melody asked rhetorically.



Melody did not want to argue since it was too troublesome.

But in Luke's opinion, Melody's statement sounded like she did not agree with the rules either.

Luke grinned at Melody and said, "Boss, what you just said makes complete sense.It makes no
difference if the rules are against me.We will still be the ones who will succeed in the end, anyway."

In Luke's eyes, the rules were only for show.

Other people would obey the rules if they chose to do so, but not Luke.

As far as Luke was concerned, it did not apply to him.Lance shook his head when he saw Luke's
demeanor.

‘How did I come to know such an idiot?’ Melody, Lance, and Luke continued to bicker and have fun.

Reagan was sitting at the judges’ table, staring at Melody, Lance, and Luke.

When Reagan saw Melody's nonchalant attitude, she couldn't help but be furious.She really wanted to
go up there and tear Melody to shreds before feeding her to the dogs.

Ever since Melody appeared in Reagan's life, everything fell apart.

Reagan believed that Melody was the cause of all the bad luck in her life.

‘Melody, that bitch! What the shaman said was right.Melody is a jinx.Anyone who is in her presence will
have bad luck"

Reagan cursed Melody in her mind.



‘But Melody is more cunning than I thought.I don't know where she learned those tricks to appeal to
men.She must have hooked up with various men to protect herself"

‘I won't allow that jinx to succeed.I will make sure of it" Reagan thought hatefully.

Christine winked at Reagan during the intermission.

Reagan immediately understood the signal and followed Christine out.

Christine grabbed Reagan's arm and quickened their pace.

Despite seeing a person in front of them, Christine still hurried ahead.

When the three of them collided, Reagan cried out in alarm.

"Ouch!" Reagan's side suffered the impact, and she had a pained expression on her face.

"Reagan, are you alright?" Zeke reached for Reagan's hand to help her up and carefully examined her
to see if she was hurt.

"Zeke, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault.I was being too careless.I didn’t look when I was walking.I was
walking too fast and crashed into you.Are you okay?"

It was an accident, so Zeke didn't think much of it.

"It's fine.Walk slower next time, so you don’t bump into other people."

"Excuse me, Zeke, I need to use the bathroom.Can you please take care of Reagan for me just for a
moment? She seems to be in pain," Christine interjected.

Zeke nodded eagerly and cautiously accompanied Reagan, who did not seem too opposed to the idea.



Zeke’s cheeks were tinged red.

Zeke was the president of the student union.He came from a prestigious family, and he was an
exemplary student.

There had been rumors going around the school that Zeke had a crush on Reagan.

The rumors never died down, especially when Reagan gained popularity during last year's school
anniversary performance.

Whether the rumors that circulated in school were true or not, it became apparent that Zeke could not
look straight into Reagan's eyes
