His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Everyone was too stunned to react when Kieran said that it was more appropriate to send Charles to the military instead of Melody.

After all, their plan was to send Melody, the jinx of the family, away from there, not Charles! Charles was the beloved son of the Sullivan family, they never even thought of making him suffer.

Murmurs erupted in the crowd except for Melody who remained calm and was already losing interest in the situation.

They were all intrigued by the drama that unfolded in front of them.

Charles’ mouth dropped and his eyes widened.

When he finally came to his senses, he felt anxiety and quickly responded, "No! I don’t want to! I won't go!"

Kieran looked at Charles sternly, putting authority in his words, "I'm afraid this decision is not up to you."

Elizabeth knew that once Kieran decided something, it was considered final and she couldn't accept that, not when Charles was the one getting the punishment.She immediately tried to stop Kieran while asking for help from Gwendolyn as well.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn felt distressed for her grandson.

She wouldn't allow Charles to be sent to the military! Gwendolyn faced Kieran and nervously tried to persuade him, "Kieran, you know that Charles is still young, don't you? Let's talk about this when he gets older, okay?"

Gwendolyn was smart.She had an inkling that maybe Melody was indeed hard to deal with.She may have aged but her instincts never failed her.

Melody wasn’t just an ordinary country bumpkin, which was probably the reason why her daughter came to ask her for help.

It turned out that this harbinger of misfortune that the former head of the Sullivan family sent to the countryside since childhood brought more trouble than she anticipated.She must turn this situation around immediately.She faked a warm and gentle smile and looked at everyone.

"Alright, enough talk of that.It's my birthday party and we should celebrate.I would like to thank everyone here for celebrating yet another year with me.Now, before the dishes get cold, let's eat!"

After Gwendolyn spoke, everyone ceased their whispers and immediately dispersed.

The reason why Gwendolyn suddenly stopped the discussion was that their plan wasn't going the way they hoped.

It was supposed to be Melody who would be sent to the military but she managed to overturn the crowd's criticisms from her to Charles.

And because of that, Gwendolyn acknowledged that she definitely underestimated Melody.

Who knew she was much smarter than she let on? In Gwendolyn's eyes, Melody pretended to be powerless and tried hard not to stand out, as if she was looking for the right time to unleash her real personality.

And if they continued with the situation from earlier, it was no doubt they would lose against Melody.

They might as well retreat and formulate a more formidable plan to kick that scheming woman out.

Meanwhile, when Elizabeth saw how Gwendolyn tried to divert the people's attention from earlier, she wanted to argue.
