NovelEnglishChapter 1937 Lucas could not fathom parents like Ethan and Helen existing in the world.
Despite having both parents alive, Melody had not received an ounce of their love. She was even used as Wendy's sacrificial lamb. It was both pitiful and tragic.
"Do you really think handing them three million dollars today will make them keep their promise and leave you alone? From what you've told me, they'll probably latch onto you even tighter once they know they can get money from you!" Lucas's warning left Melody stunned.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'Lucas is right. I'm giving them the three million dollars hoping to put an end to everything, but considering their nature... They'll latch on toeven tighter, 'thought Melody.
After all, the Sanders were insatiable. Once they found out she could provide money, they would surely treat her like a bottomless ATM.
"I've got something to do. Edmund will get in touch with you later," Lucas stated before hanging up.
'Uh... So is he givingthe money?' Melody thought to herself somewhat bewilderedly.
A few minutes later, Edmund's call cin.
"Miss Melody, I've already done what Mister Lucas instructedto do just now. The legal department has drafted an agreement, and I've sent you the digital copy. You can decide whether you want the Sanders to sign it. Also, please sendyour bank details. I'll wire the three million dollars to your account right away." Melody was a bit flattered to hear that Lucas had made such an arrangement for her. "Um... Okay, I'll send it to you now." After ending the call, Melody received the digital agreement from Edmund. Essentially, the agreement stated that after receiving the three million dollars, Melody would sever all ties with the Sanders. She would not have to fulfill any daughterly duties, and the Sanders could not guilt-trip her in any way.
Lucas had indeed thought things through. With this agreement in place, even if the Sanders cknocking for money again in the future, Melody would be able to whip out the agreement to make them leave.
After sharing her bank details with Edmund, Melody patiently waited for his confirmation. Once she received it, she returned to the living room and slammed her bank card on the table in front of Ethan and Helen. "There's three million dollars in this card. Just sign the agreement with me, and I'll give you the pin number." "Whatever. I think you're just bluffing," said Wendy with a sneer. She was clearly skeptical that Melody could have three million dollars.

Helen hurriedly interjected when she saw Melody putting the card away. She reached out to grab her. "Wendy was just being cautious. But you do need to prove that there's really three million dollars in there. We can't just take your word for it." Helen was crazy about money. She certainly would not let the chance of getting three million dollars slip by like that.
Melody took a step back to create sdistance between the two of them. "How do you wantto prove it?"
"Isn't that easy?" Wendy pulled out her phone and showed the bank's contact details to Melody: Just call the bank, check the balance, and then we'll know for sure if there's really three million dollars in your card."
Melody did not waste a moment. She immediately took out her own p own phane and dialed the bank's number. "Hello. I'd like to check if there's three million dollars in my account."
"Sure, please wait a moment." The bank staff verified her identity politely before saying,' Mis Melody, your account balance has been sent to your phone as a text message. Please check." After expressing her gratitude, Melody ended the call and showed Wendy and Helen the text message. "This should clear things up, right?" Wendy's eyes widened in disbelief after seeing the bank's confirmation message that Melody indeed had three million dollars.
"Melody, how in the world did you get three million dollars? What did you do, and where did the money cfrom?"
