Ex husband's Plea for Forgiveness

Queena didn't bother answering as her eyes were fixed on Melinda. Yulia understood what Queena's intense gaze meant, so she turned to look at Melinda.

"Melinda, don't you always like helping poor people? The money raised in the charity party will go to the people in need."

Melinda knew that Yulia was trying to persuade her. Yulia was never friendly with Melinda unless she needed something from her.

Melinda clenched her jaw and fisted her palm. Yulia could see that Melinda was trying hard to suppress her anger.

Melinda had a strong feeling that it was going to be an ambush. She knew that Yulia and Queena were forcing her to attend the party because Emily had asked them to. Melinda sensed that Emily was up to something. She finally lifted her head and looked at Queena's expectant eyes.

"All right, I'll come with you," she said.

"What are you planning to donate? Don't pick some rubbish and humiliate us. I'll ask Gavin to help you out."

Queena snorted. She was afraid that Melinda's animosity would force her to ruin the reputation of the Gu family.

Yulia clamped her mouth to suppress her laughter. She was happy to see Queena insult her sister-in-law.

"Okay, thank you."

Melinda shrugged casually. Queena was surprised by her nonchalance and continued to eat. She knew that Melinda was unfazed by her taunts and felt that it would be pointless to mock her.

After dinner, Melinda asked the butler to take her to the room that contained collections that the family had bought or received over the years.

The room was brimming with paintings, jewelry, and artifacts. Melinda was confused and didn't know what would be ideal to donate for charity.

Fortunately, Gavin was in charge of treasuring the collections, so Melinda sought help from him. After clarifying Melinda's doubts, Gavin gave her a pair of bracelets.

Expensive jewelry was a standard donation to charity but the value of the jewelry made it unique among the others. Therefore, Gavin carefully picked limited edition jewelry that was rare in the market.

Soon, the charity party came. Emily was popular and her circle expanded after she got closer to Jonas. When Queena walked in, she realized that the party was bigger than she thought. She was wearing a purple cheongsam and her hair was coiled into a thick braid. She looked regal with Melinda and Yulia stand on either side.

Yulia was dressed in a round-collared, off-shoulder dress that accentuated her figure. The pink tassels and the nifty design on the dress made her look elegant. Her hair was curled to perfection and cascaded down her shoulders.

As soon as she entered the party, her eyes roamed across the hall, searching for young men. She looked like a tigress hunting for her prey.

Melinda was in a simple white dress with delicate embroidery. Her hair was tied to a high ponytail as wisps of bangs brushed against her forehead. The design on the neckline was the highlight and the delicate waistband made her look like a regal beauty.

All eyes were on Melinda.
