His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 82: A Birthday Party 

Sarah changed since that day.She diverted her attention to her career and hadn't bothered Melody for a few days.

At first, Melody felt a little relaxed.

After all, Sarah was not an ordinary clingy sister.

But after some time, it became a little boring.

Lance was surprised to see that Melody wasn't sleeping on her table today.

Ever since the last cheating incident, none of the teachers called her out due to her sleeping during their class.

Well, it wasn't like they could even complain about it.

Melody would still ace their entire level even if she slept for the whole day.

Since there was nothing that the teachers could do, they ignored her sleeping habits and just focused on doing their job.

However, Lance felt that something wrong was going on with Melody not taking a nap as she often would.

He studied her face carefully and noticed how her eyebrow was slightly furrowed.

There was a sense of foreboding brewing within his gut.

Things were bound to get out of hand"Melody was unhappy?’ Lance thought for a while and made a decision.

"Boss, it's my birthday this weekend, and I'm throwing a party at home.Can I invite you?" he asked cautiously.

Lance looked at her expectantly, waiting for her response.

That look of anticipation was the kind of look that people found hard to resist.

Melody looked at him with quiet eyes and thought about it carefully.

She didn't have anything to do this weekend, so she nodded faintly and agreed.

Although he wasn't expecting much, Lance had hoped that Melody would accept his invitation.

And boy was he thrilled when Melody agreed.

He was so happy that he felt like he could jump high towards the sky.

"Thank you, Boss.I guarantee you will have a great time at the party!" he joyfully said.

Lance got up and weirdly ran out.

Melody looked at Lance's back and frowned in confusion "He's the one celebrating his birthday.Shouldn't he be the one to enjoy that day?’ she wondered.

At the same time, at the Harrison residence.

Their grandfather, Benjamin Harrison, felt a little strange when he saw the butler return with a smile after answering the call.

"What made you so happy?" Benjamin asked.

Steward Isaac bowed and replied respectfully, "Sir Lance had called just now and mentioned that he would be hosting a birthday party for himself on the weekend.He asked us to prepare it for him"

Benjamin slightly frowned.

"That child, last week I asked him if he wanted to have a party and said he didn't want one.So now he's called saying he changed his mind," he muttered grumpily.

"Since he wants to have one, then go ahead and arrange it, '' Benjamin ordered.

Isaac bowed with a faint smile on his lips and went on ahead to prepare for the forthcoming event.

Lance took off in high spirit when Melody agreed to come to his party.

So, of course, Clifford and the others were told about it, and they had also expressed their desire to attend.

So, in the end, the entire class eight had been invited to come to the Harrison family's residence on the weekend.

Melody didn’t mind them coming.

After all, it was Lance's birthday, not hers.

Suddenly, the phone in her pocket vibrated.

She needed to get out and have a walk, so she got up and took off as well.

Melody only picked up the phone after she left the classroom.

"Boss, I'm so bored at the base alone." A somber voice came from the receiver.

Melody thought that Luke had something important to tell her, but she didn't expect him to call and complain about being bored.

"Luke, are you itching for a beating right now?" she said coldly.

Her cold voice passed through the receiver like a breeze.

Luke broke out in a cold sweat and subconsciously shivered by the sudden chill that ran down his spine.

His scary boss was about to go crazy.But Luke couldn't endure being at the base anymore.He didn't want to die of boredom in such a place.

Even though he knew that he might get crippled, Luke still risked his life to make his request.

"Boss, I want to come and study too!" he said with all his courage.

Melody didn't like trouble the most. She could deal with Lance, but she wasn't sure if she could confront Luke at the same time.

"No, you should stay at the base" Melody firmly declined.

However, Luke, who had always been obedient, unexpectedly talked back to her.

"No, boss, I want to go to school!" he insisted.

Melody felt a headache coming on.She sighed and surrendered.

"It's up to you if you want to."

"Thank you, boss!" Luke cheerfully said.

And with no hesitation, Luke immediately hung up the phone after he said his words of gratitude.

Fear came over him after their talk.

He was afraid that if he didn't hang up now, it would be a disaster of the century.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye, and suddenly, it was the weekend.

It was the day of Lance's birthday party.

Birthday parties were usually held in the afternoon, so Melody only got up at noon.

As soon as she got out of her room, she saw Reagan exquisitely dressed up and was slowly climbing down the stairs.

She had elegant makeup on and was wearing an exquisite dress.

Her whole outfit looked marvelous, and it must have taken her a long time to get that kind of glam.

At the same time, when Reagan was going down the stairs, she also happened to see Melody coming out from the basement.

She couldn't help but be smug about it when she saw the type of clothes Melody was wearing.She was in her casual clothes with a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of black trousers.

Typically, everyone wore school uniforms at school, so there was no chance for Reagan to show off her beauty.

She planned to take advantage of Lance's birthday party today to let everyone know who the real daughter of the Sullivan family was.

Reagan woke up early and asked her mother to hire the best stylist in California and glam her up.

These stylists usually dress up A-list celebrities.

But, today, she must amaze all the guests at the party.

Elizabeth knew that Reagan was going to the Harrison family's residence and had especially bought her an expensive diamond necklace.

Reagan was initially worried that Melody would spend a lot of effort dressing up in front of Lance, but it was proven not the case.

So she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw how Melody looked.

Melody leaned lazily on the sofa with drooping eyes and looked like she hadn't woken up yet.

Reagan happened to pass by her and stopped for a while.

She cleared her throat and then whispered, "Melody, it's almost time for the party, and you're still in your pajamas.It looks like you'll need a lot of time to prepare so I won't wait for you.You can just take a taxi when you're done!" she mocked.

To complete her look, Reagan wanted to be chauffeured to the party by the Sullivan family's most luxurious car and make a statement in front of everyone.

Just thinking about people talking about how she came in a luxurious car while Melody was in a taxi made Reagan feel exhilarated.

The servants around them switched their looks from Reagan, who donned a triumphant expression on her, to Melody, who was still sleeping on the sofa and secretly shook their heads.

Sure enough, the gap between these two was quite wide.

Reagan thought she had struck Melody so hard that she couldn't even speak.She left elegantly while thinking she had won over Melody.

But she didn't know that Melody didn't even hear a word from what she said.

Her mind was still half-asleep even though she had already woken up for quite some time.

She lied on the sofa to clear her mind.

Half an hour later, Melody had finally cleared her mind.

Knowing that it was about time, Melody got up straight to change her clothes and set off to Lance's Birthday party.

Some time, at the Harrison residence. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Lance lived in the Harrison family's old residence in Beaumonde Hills, where the rich gathered in California.

The Harrison residence stood grand in the best location in this area which reflected the great status of the Harrison family.

It was rare for Lance to take the initiative to ask them to host a birthday party.

He even took the time to supervise them personally and told them to handle it well.

To make him happy, the Harrison family did their best with the entire preparation.

According to Lance's request, he didn't invite any business friends, only some of his classmates and some of the Harrison family's relatives.

Today's celebrant was Lance, and he could do whatever he wanted.

Sanguine High School was a well-known school for rich kids.

Although it was just a birthday party, everyone who would attend the event was all dressed up to the nines.

Isaac had to make sure that Lance and the Harrison family wouldn't lose face in front of these people.

Lance was looking dazzling and handsome, dressed in his dashing black tailcoat.

He stood at the door and looked straight ahead.

His forehead creased a little bit from worry.

"Why hasn't the boss come yet?" he muttered anxiously.

Clifford, who was beside Lance, was also dressed ina suit.

He heard Lance's muttering and hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay.Boss is an important guest.It's normal for her to arrive late.She deserves a grand entrance"

Lance thought about what he said and felt that he made a lot of sense.

Clifford then suddenly tapped his back raised his voice.

"Hey! Hey! I recognize that plate number.That's the Sullivan family's car!" he shouted.
