His Heiress Wife (Retika) Chapter 169: You Brat, What Do You Know?

Before Seth could respond to Melody, Austin, who sat in front answered first, "Mr.Adams is acting
strange lately.His whereabouts are unpredictable.Every time I see him, it makes me think that he lost
his soul.It's only today that we heard from him again."

Melody instantly understood.Since it was Iven’s problem, then never mind.It was none of her business.

The location Iven chose was not too far away so it would only take them ten minutes before they
arrived.

When the car stopped, Seth originally wanted to get out first, open the door for Melody, and offer his
hand to help her get down.

Unexpectedly, Melody got out on her own and she either didn’t see his raised hand or deliberately
ignored it.

Seth looked at his hand which was left floating mid-air.His lips curled a little, revealing a faint smile.He
inwardly praised, ‘This is also fine.I like it."

As long as it was Melody.

Austin approached a staff member and asked about the room reserved under lven's name.

After receiving the answer, he led the way.

On the other side, when Iven found out that they had arrived, he rushed out to personally welcome
them.

Axel followed right behind him.

When he heard that Melody also came, he felt more excited than anyone else.



On the way, after they turned a corner, Axel saw Seth walking in their direction calmly.

Austin was in front and Melody was beside Seth.

Axel stretched his hand and smacked Iven at the back.

Iven raised his head, about to start a verbal fight with Axel, but then he saw Seth's group.

He calmed down and walked forward, about to greet them.

But surprisingly...

Before Ilven could even open his mouth, Melody strayed from the group and turned to the side.

Everyone was puzzled and instinctively followed after Melody who went the other way.

Seth was an exception.

Although he was also confused, he didn't follow Melody like the others.

Instead, he stood in the same spot, waiting for Melody.

Earlier, Melody saw a familiar figure so she walked over.

They were currently in one of the most luxurious hotels in California.

Its atrium had an open dining area while the upper floor were private rooms.

At this moment, there was something absurd going on in the atrium.

A few second-generation rich boys pulled and played with a girl who looked like she was just a high
school freshman.



A few boys restrained her while a boy, who seemed to be the leader of the group, stood on the sofa.

He held a wine bottle in his hand.

The girl's mouth was forced open and he poured the alcohol into her mouth.

The girl struggled with all her might, streams of tears sliding down her cheeks.But no matter what she
did, it was useless.

Melody took several steps, approached them, and kicked one of the boys which held the girl.

Her sudden powerful entrance dumbfounded everyone present.

None of them expected that a girl would be so bold.

When they saw the girl move, it could be said that she didn’t hesitate at all.

That kick was too cool! After a while, everyone regained their senses.

The handsome boy who was the root of this commotion felt irritated, ready to teach the nosy person
who ‘maliciously’ interrupted him.

When he turned and saw the face of the ‘nosy person’, the boy’s grip on the bottle tightened.

"It’s you again, jinx!"

Who else was the person who started all this mess? It was none other than Melody's younger brother,
Charles.

When Melody spotted him earlier, she could see the lewd and treacherous expression on his face even
from far away.



Charles glared at Melody as if he was looking at an enemy.

His pair of phoenix eyes narrowed further as he snorted, "Melody.I was getting a little worried that I
wouldn't have the time to settle the scores with you but you came knocking at my door.Today, I'll let you
know how powerful I am!"

Melody leisurely stood by the side, her hands pocketed in her trousers.She coldly looked at Charles
who was spouting cliched idiotic villain lines, completely unbothered.

Melody was even judging him in her mind.

‘Our family's genes aren't bad.We have the same mother and father as well.Did our genes mutate,
causing him to be an idiot?’

Not inheriting the elegance of the Sullivan family was fine, but how come he didn't inherit anything good
from the intelligence department? Intelligence was a polygenic trait after all.

How was it possible to mostly inherit the ‘idiot' genes? If Melody was not clear about Alistair's
personality, she would've suspected that her mother had done something immoral to give birth to a boy
just to get a stable position in the Sullivan family.

Charles was internally gloating.He knew that Melody had some brawns.

If he was alone, he would probably be scared.

But since he had plenty of acquaintances with him, he didn't believe that they would be unsuccessful in
dealing with Melody, this jinx.

He waved his hand, signaling to his group.

With a devious smirk across his face, he shouted, "Mates, we have our new toy!"



After he successfully gained the attention of the group, he continued, "Today, if you handle this jinx for
me, I will treat you all tonight.You can do whatever you want!"

Previously, Melody actually pummeled him in public.

He felt so humiliated that he had to stay in the hospital for several months before he was completely
healed and ready to be discharged.

If he did not avenge himself today, how would he dare to show his face in public? He was the only male
in the Sullivan family.

He was destined to be the heir.

How could Melody, an abandoned jinx, dare to fight against him? Hearing Charles’ declaration, the
eyes of the surrounding men turned ravenous, like starved wolves seeing food for the first time.

It wasn't just because Charles promised to pay the bill tonight.

Melody's face was a great temptation as well.She was too beautiful, even better than the celebrities in
the entertainment industry.

It was the kind of face that made people want to repeatedly look at.

And her figure was just as great.She had all the right curves.

Add in her unique temperament that Melody emitted.

It was sassy and charming, making one’s heart excited as it aroused their instincts to conquer.

There were plenty of beautiful girls in the world but it was rare to see a woman with both beauty and
outstanding temperament.



If they could play with such a beautiful woman, they could brag about it to the world.

The boy who Melody kicked to the ground made the first move.

He approached her with a lecherous smile plastered on his face.

"Miss, I won't blame you for kicking me.As long as you please me, I might even help you plead Charles
to let you go."

Melody thought that it was Just Charles who was stupidly ignorant.

Who could've expected that he was so bad in and out that he managed to attract like-minded people as
his lackeys? She finally understood why Alistair made such an unexpected decision before his death.

Her father, Quince, valued boys over girls more than Alistair did, to the point of extremity.

If the Sullivan family's properties all fell under Quince’s hands, the one who would inherit everything
next would definitely be Charles.

Charles was useless and hedonistic through and through due to his parents’ flawed parenting, it
wouldn't take him long before Alistair’s lifetime of hard work got destroyed.

When the boy, who spoke to Melody with a dirty tone just now, realized that Melody did not react to his
words, he boldly stepped forward, ready to attack Melody.

Axel, who went and followed, stood nearby.

Watching the scene in front of him, he was dumbfounded.

He instinctively looked at Seth in a distance.



When Axel saw Seth's calm expression, he felt like his heart was scratched by a cat.

Since watching Seth's expression was fruitless, he could only turn his head to Iven and asked
anxiously, "Didn't you say that Seth loved her so much? How come none of you are moving? What if
something bad happened to Melody?"

Iven didn't say anything in response.

He only looked at him with unconcealed disgust.

It was as if his eyes were saying, 'You brat, what do you know?’

‘I'm afraid that before they can even make a move, Melody had already beaten them all down"

Unfortunately for Axel, he had never seen Melody fight and was unnecessarily worried.But later he
would know that when Melody fought, it wouldn't be a fight.

It would be a one-sided annihilation.

In the first place, it was like a max-leveled bugged boss fighting with a bunch of level 1's.

Trying to fight Melody was simply suicide.

Seth did not come over to help because he knew that she didn't need his help nor did she like anyone
interfering with her affairs.

Just when the other party's hand was half a meter away from Melody’s face, the disgusting smell of
cigarette assailed her nose.

Melody frowned in disgust.



One of the things that disgusted her the most was this kind of thing.She took a glance at the other
party's fingernails which still had some dirt underneath.

It looked so disgusting that she even had the urge to vomit yesterday’s dinner.

Melody did not even move her hand, disgusted with the possibility of touching something dirty.

She merely raised her leg and accurately kicked.

This time, Melody did not hold back.

The boy was flung at least ten feet away.

The boy heavily slammed against the ground, the loud noise from the impact reverberated throughout
the atrium, and he instantly fainted.
