His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Quince sat upright and faced Kieran with a serious expression.

"Kieran, as you have heard, Melody is a child who isn't used to the education given by this family.After being in the countryside for so long, it seems like she has gone feral.I think it's best to send her off for military service.That way, she'll be able to learn self-control and discipline!"

Gwendolyn also responded while looking stressed out.

"Yes, that's right.That girl really needs to learn her lesson.Did you know that she hit Charles only because she didn't like what he said?"

Kieran’s gaze was drawn towards Melody once more.He was intrigued by how a young woman of that caliber could be so bold and capable.

It hadn't been long since she returned, but she had already caused quite an uproar for the Callahan family and the Sullivan family to join hands in dealing with her.

It was evident that this young woman was something special from the get-go.

The fact that Kieran was intently looking at Melody didn't actually bother her at the least.She continued to sit lazily as she watched them talk about her.

Kieran was kind of taken aback by how calm and collected she appeared.

Being able to maintain such a level of maturity at such a young age suggested that she was anything but ordinary.

As he saw the attitude and behavior of the Callahan family and the Sullivan family members towards Melody, Kieran couldn't help but feel embarrassed by how the two families were acting.

The Callahan family was always wrong about how they perceived people.

He was more aware of this than anyone else, but he didn't take into account that Quince would be the same as them.

The Callahans were only in favor of Charles’ side of the story, as they indiscriminately turned a blind eye to the truth.

Under the pressure of the people around him, Charles even went so far as to reveal his bruised face, almost as if he was showing the entire room how badly Melody had beaten him up.

Charles couldn't care less how embarrassing it was to be the center of attention at this moment.

Getting rid of Melody and keeping the Sullivan family's wealth and assets were more important to him that anything else.

The people around them, especially their relatives, were criticizing Melody.

Their facial expressions and behaviors suggested that they couldn't wait to have her expelled from the household.

It seemed like Kieran had already understood what really happened between Charles and Melody.He already had a rough guess of what Charles planned to do.

However, he feigned cluelessness as his gaze was still fixated on Melody, still waiting for her response to the matter at hand.

At first, Melody had no intention of paying attention to people like them.

All that mattered to her were the ones who had always been there for her since the beginning.
