NovelOnlineSince Lucas had spoken, Melody had no choice but to force herself to smile and say that the wedding was not urgent. "We still have plenty of time, Grandma. There's really no rush for the wedding." Beatrice could not help but feel sorry for Melody. Which girl did not long for her wedding? It was not like the Riveras were poor, so why not have the wedding? "Lucas, put down your phone. You're rarely home, and when you are, you spend two-thirds of your ton that stupid phone. What's there to look at anyway?" Melody saw that Beatrice was really angry, so she quickly stepped in to ease the situation for Lucas. "Grandma, maybe there's a lot going on in the company for him. With great power comes great responsibility, and it's not good to ignore others' messages." "He shouldn't bring his work home! This has been a rule in our family for a long time," Beatrice said with a frown. "After dinner, either go for a walk or take Melody upstairs to rest. Don't look at your phone!" Lucas could not argue with his grandmother. He put away his phone and took Melody upstairs. As they stood up, Lucas did not forget to hold Melody's hand.

[Lucas, can you cto my place? I'm really scared.] Beatrice realized something was off. She swiped open Lucas' phone and found several messages from Stella.

I guess she's not going to give up unless I give her a piece of my mind! I can't believe all the words I said to her last thave gone to waste!' Beatrice vaguely remembered that Stella and Melody work at the sfilm studio. She wondered what schStella had cooked up while they were working.
Melody might be smart, but she was too honest for her own good. She would rather keep everything to m herself, thus making her ineffective in dealing with a cunning b*tch like Stella. 'Well, we'll see about that! Now that I've seen this myself, I'm not going to sit back and do nothing while that Stella bullies my granddaughter-in-law!'
"Darling, why are you smiling so om N slyly?" Cedric could not help but ask. "Never mind me, I have something to take care of later!"
Beatrice sent a four-word message to Stella using Lucas' phone. Pll be right there. X
