His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 11: Look at That Jinx 

Back in the Sullivan Manor.

Today was one of the rare days that the Sullivan family woke up early.

Charles Sullivan, the eldest son of the family, groggily walked his way to the living room.He was still tired.

Quince also came to the living room.

Concerned, he looked around and did not see Melody in sight.He beckoned to a maid from the end of the room and sent her to call Melody.

Reagan was puzzled and looked at her father for an explanation.She frowned, but she did not voice out her complaints.

"Daddy, why do we have to bring that jinx with us? We can go to Mr.David's party by ourselves" Reagan and Charles didn't get along well.

The two were almost like enemies, but today was different.They have found a common enemy, and so Charles and Reagan were on better terms.

"Daddy, Reagan's right.The jinx from the countryside doesn't know any etiquette or proper manners.Didn't you say that Mr.David is important? If we let Melody the country bumpkin come with us, then she'll sabotage us with her manners." Charlie pouted.

"Then all of our hard work into coaxing him will be for nothing!"

Mr.David was born in California, but his family migrated to England with his family when he was a child.Later he became a technology master in England and returned to California when he was

older.Now, there were news surrounding him that he had the latest technology in his hands.Nowadays, it was the era of new technology and better intelligence.A silicon chip could be like a heart of a human. NôvelDrama.Org content.

To have this kind of technology in your hands and to master it, was like having your own money printer.

Everyone in California wanted to get a deal with Mr.David just so they could get the most advanced technology for themselves.This included the Sullivan.

Quince found out that Mr.David liked the business partners with a good family.In his perspective, a beautiful family that bonds closely with each other was the most solid backing.So, Quince decided to gather his family early in the morning.

Although Quince knew that his children were being very reasonable, he had his own considerations to deal with.

"Listen to me." he chided them, "You can say all of that at home today, but when you go out of this door and we arrive at Mr.David's house, don't say any of it. Do you understand?"

Once they saw their father's serious expression, Charles and Reagan didn't dare to say anything else.

Elizabeth didn't speak from her side of the room.She knew Quince didn't like Melody, but she also knew that there was nothing they could do about it.She was carefully thinking about it more than her children did.

Almost everyone in California knew that the jinx had returned.

If they didn't bring her with them to attend Mr.David's banquet, then what would everybody else think? What would Mr.David think? Quince couldn't lose just because of something small! Melody finally arrived and came from across the corridors in time to hear the entire conversation between the Sullivans.

However, her expression remained indifferent towards them, as if they weren't really talking about her.She walked into the living room calmly.

Reagan was the first person to notice her.She pointed her finger accusingly at Melody and screamed exaggeratedly.

"Daddy, just look at that jinx!"

Every head in the room turned to look at Melody because of Reagan's strange reaction.

Melody raised her head slightly and gave Reagan a sharp glance.

"What now?" Melody thought.

Reagan tensed up, but as she was about to tell Melody to get out, she immediately changed her tone.

"Melody do you do this on purpose? Didn't the maid tell you that we are going to attend an important banquet? Why are you still dressed like a beggar?"

The maid who was ordered to call for Melody blushed in embarrassment.Her expression was full of panic and helplessness as she tried to explain herself.

"Miss Reagan, I told her.But Miss Melody didn't listen to me!" Melody looked down at her clothes.

It was another pair of white shirts and jeans, which were comfortable and casual.

"Is there a problem?" Melody wondered and picked at the corner of her shirt.

She then looked up, only to find them staring at her with looks of disgust.

Especially Quince.
