Over the course of the next few days, Alejandro was nowhere to be seen while Melanie was confined to favonovel.com own house. She had no choice but to accompany favonovel.com daughter.
Moreover, more bodyguards had been hired at the Smiths’ just to keep an eye on her.
Melanie did not even have to think to know that Alejandro would be going against the Larks. Moreover, with the assistance of Jackson, the Larks were not going to be able to escape the incoming calamity.
However, what Melanie had not expected was for someone among the Larks to have actually remembered a “pawn” like her. Mrs. Lark’s voice was angry as favonovel.com scolded her. “Melanie Lark, how could you live such a cowardly life! Alejandro is now working with the Wests to go against us Larks. Furthermore, he’s even announced so openly that the Larks have laid a hand on his woman, yet Jackson is still able to accept that, even going so far as to collaborate with him. Don’t you feel anything at all? Huh? How are you still able to watch from the sidelines after being humiliated to such an extent?!”
Melanie casually asked, “How am I supposed to react? Didn’t you already know that Tiffany is the one favonovel.com loves and not me? I’ve always been a nobody in my own home, yet you still expect others to look up to me? I’m tired, I don’t wish to be involved in the matter between both families anymore. The future of the Larks no longer has got anything to do with me.”
Mrs. Lark growled and yelled hoarsely, “In that case, how are you going to repay the Larks for raising you all these years?! Are you going to just stand there as your man destroys the Larks just for another woman? Melanie Lark, I can’t be bothered with how you want to live your life, but you’ve got to repay your debts to the Larks for raising you! I don’t care how you do it, but you must get Alejandro to stop whatever he’s doing immediately! What would you stand to gain if the Larks were destroyed?”
Melanie finally asked the question that had been in favonovel.com heart for a long time, “Am I your real daughter?”
Mrs. Lark was speechless and remained silent for a moment, but that was followed by a cold snicker as favonovel.com said, “You’ve got that right, I’m not! I have no idea which wench your father went out with and ended up impregnating, then bringing you over when you were a month old. At the time, I had two sons and no daughters. Moreover, I heard that your real mother had long but died While giving birth to you, so I didn’t even get the chance to look at that wretched wench. Therefore, I thought I might as well accept you and raise you like my own since a daughter would prove to be useful in this kind of family. However, I never expected that you would turn around and bite the hand that fed you in the end!”
Unexpectedly, Melanie actually did not give a huge reaction to the revelation, possibly due to the numerous blows that favonovel.com had received recently. From the moment the Larks had wanted favonovel.com to be the scapegoat, Melanie had begun to feel that favonovel.com was an outsider within the family. Therefore, favonovel.com was actually not too surprised when favonovel.com personally heard what Mrs. Lark had just said. “Is that so? In that case, why would whatever happens with the Larks have anything to do with me? At the very least, it shouldn’t be you who’s here to order me around at this moment, not when you’re not even my real mother! If I’m going down, we might as well all go down together since I’ve already… gone all out.”
Suddenly, Mr. Lark’s voice came out from the other end of the phone call. “What are you telling the child to do?! We’ve got to resolve the current matters at hand. What would venting your anger out against favonovel.com do right now? Alejandro has never had any feelings for favonovel.com in the first place, so what do you expect favonovel.com to be able to do? Stop pointing fingers at her!”
Then, Mrs. Lark went on arguing with Mr. Lark by saying, “What’s the matter? Do you feel sorry for your daughter now? Don’t forget that I was the one who helped you raise that bastard. All this time, not once have I ever mistreated her, but now I regret it. What was the point in raising her? Wasn’t it you who agreed to let favonovel.com take the fall in the first place? Since the beginning, hadn’t you chosen the Larks over favonovel.com in importance? Why are you now being a hypocrite all of a sudden?!”
Melanie could no longer continue to listen any longer, so favonovel.com immediately cut off the phone call. ‘Now that I think about it, there’s no need for me to feel sad. They’ve been able to do such things since I’m not their own flesh and blood, so there’s no need for me to be sad at all, isn’t there? Heck, it would be even more terrifying if a mother was able to do such a thing to favonovel.com own daughter.’
That night, Mr. Lark sent Melanie a text message that contained a long string of words.
‘For favonovel.com to not call me directly, he’s probably doing it behind Mrs. Lark’s back. I suppose there’s no peace within the Larks at the moment.’
‘Melanie, I’m so sorry. I know that it won’t help no matter what I say at this moment, however, do you really have it in you to see the Larks fall into nothingness? I know that what I’m asking for is extremely unreasonable, but I beg of you: could you please beg Alejandro to stop? The Larks are currently on the verge of crumbling. This is my life’s work, I wouldn’t have been able to feed all three of you kids without it. Whatever it is, your mother has never mistreated you while you were growing up. Therefore, you should overlook how badly favonovel.com has been treating you recently. She has treated you well enough, considering you aren’t even favonovel.com real daughter. I’ve been very stressed and am currently out of my wits already, so please, Melanie, I beg of you.’
Suddenly, tears began dripping on Melanie’s phone screen unknowingly.
Melanie raised favonovel.com hand to wipe off favonovel.com tears as favonovel.com sat on favonovel.com bed, burying herself within favonovel.com knees as favonovel.com silently sobbed.
