“She is definitely something to be able to hang out with Melody Stryder.” Rebecca shot a glance at the woman next to Tina as she quietly explained, “Melody is the granddaughter of one of the ministers in Norfolk who has just retired—Mr. Stryder. If you can hang out with her, you don’t have to worry about your connections.”

Sonia had seldom mingled in society before this, so she did not know many people in the business circle, let alone folks from another city. No wonder Tina has drastically lowered her stance.

Tina’s background was nothing to a figure like Melody.

“Oh, so you’re President Fuller’s ex-wife?” Melody shot a disdainful glance at Sonia without a slightest trace of respect at all. “Since we have all met each other, let’s have a few rounds of games together. Are you willing to join us?”

 

Let alone poker, Sonia did not even want to talk to Tina.

However, Sonia had learned how to read people’s facial expressions after suffering in Jean’s hands over the years. As soon as Melody started speaking, she knew that this was not a person whom she could cross.

“Of course. The person we are waiting for is only arriving at 10:00 PM.” Sonia was well aware that she was nothing at this moment. Hence, she did not want to be in a situation where she was bullied by Melody just because she had annoyed Melody. “I’m not good at poker, though. I hope you don’t mind.”

Melody merely snorted before she left in her high heels.

“Don’t worry. It’s just for passing the time.” It was only after Melody left that Tina dared to speak. “If you really can’t play, we’ll go easy on you.”

Tina had learned from her friends that Sonia lost hundreds of thousands when she played poker with Mr. King from Dwells.
