The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 519

Philip was unconcerned about those ridiculous words. His eyes were now entirely focused on Cynthia Larson. He wanted to find

an opportunity to talk to Cynthia. Melody was a little unhappy and was just about to stand up to say a few words when she was

stopped by Philip. Young ladies were indeed hot-tempered. At this moment, several flattering voices sounded. “Melody, I’m

Peyton Hill. I’ve heard Marilyn talk about you before, but I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful in person.” “Melody, I’m Cedric

Shore. My family runs a medicine shop. I hope that Melody can support us in the future.” “I’m Billy Dillon, your junior at school.

I’ve seen your pictures before!” Everyone rushed to introduce themselves, most of them male and all of them quite outstanding in

appearance. It was a pity that the reason behind their actions was quite obvious to outsiders. This was the daughter of Theo

Zander, the underground king of Riverdale. Forging a good relationship with her would be greatly beneficial to them in the future!

As for the Larson family of Fernvale, they were no longer active in the market, so it did not matter if they flattered Cynthia or not.

Melody was still angry because they had mocked Philip just now, so she simply ignored them.

These people could change their behavior at the drop of a hat! “Miss Zander, I’d like to propose a toast. I’m Kenneth Hane. It’s a

pleasure to meet you.”

At this moment, a well-dressed young man in an expensive suit and leather shoes stood up abruptly.

He did not conceal the fervent admiration for Melody in his eyes, as well as the burning intensity as he

stared at Cynthia!

This young man had a scholarly look—sharp eyebrows, high nose bridge, and fair skin. He was a

typical handsome boy. The poise he exuded, however, was that of a noble son. Especially when he

stared at Melody and Cynthia. There was a hidden meaning behind his eyes, but his smile was like the

spring breeze. He raised his wine glass and finished the contents in one gulp. Melody was startled. She

did not know this person. “Mel, why are you still sitting there? Young Master Hane is toasting you. Why

don’t you have a drink? Young Master Hane is one of the four young masters of Capital City and a

famous young talent too!” Marilyn nudged Melody excitedly. In fact, she was very jealous of Melody.

Famous young talent?

One of the four young masters of Capital City? Since when did Capital City produce the title of four

young masters? Was it referring to the Hane family of Capital City? It sounded quite familiar. Philip

frowned slightly and looked at Marilyn who was standing next to Melody. He felt that this woman’s

motive was not pure. It seemed as if she was trying to make a match between Melody and that

Kenneth Hane! At the same time, Simon, who was still sitting at the corner and drinking sullenly, did not

look too good. He liked Melody but was unable to sit beside her and protect her at the moment. “Simon,

something is wrong with you today. That Kenneth Hane guy is obviously interested in Melody but you’re

not going to say anything? Are you giving up?” A rich second-generation next to Simon poked his

shoulder and laughed cheekily. “Idiot!” Simon snorted, a sneer appearing on his face as he mumbled,

“That Kenneth Hane is courting his own death! He can be interested in any other girls, but he has to go

after this one, hehe.” The rich second-generation had no idea what he was talking about and assumed

Simon was drunk, so he did not think too much about it.

Since Kenneth had stepped out, all the men who were previously interested in Melody now chose to

keep their mouths shut. They just sat there watching. All of them knew that Kenneth would definitely

get his hands on any woman he wanted! Contending with Kenneth over a woman was equivalent to

courting death! At the moment, not only the men in the private room but a few girls also stared at

Melody with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

They were all interested in Kenneth, but he did not even look directly at them. He was only interested in Melody Zander and her

best friend! Philip thought that this gathering was very interesting. Everyone had their own hidden agenda and one could expect

to watch a good show after this. “I can’t drink.” Melody declined. “Mel, how can you say this. Young Master Hane is inviting you

for a drink. It’s a great honor for you. Besides, it’s okay to drink just a little. It’s not easy for me to organize this gathering, so you

mustn’t embarrass me.” Marilyn was angry and accused. “Don’t you want to be Young Master Hane’s girlfriend?” Melody was

taken aback. She looked at Marilyn and said coldly, “I have a boyfriend!” She could already tell that her so-called good friend,

Marilyn Chester, was selling their friendship cheaply to win favor from this Young Master Hane. Did they not notice a man was

sitting beside her? “It’s okay, since Mel doesn’t want to drink, we don’t have to force it.” Kenneth smiled gently. “Kenneth Hane,

please call me Melody. I’m not used to hearing you calling me Mel!”

Melody’s face gradually became cold. She was turning him down in public!
