Chapter 1997 "Didn't I tell you you don't need to work?" Lucas was starting to get impatient.
'I told her that she didn't have to repay the three million dollars, yet she insists on finding a job. Can't she just be at peace?' he thought.

I don't have endless money. I still need to work!" That was something Lucas had not considered. Their contract was only for a year. After one year, they would peacefully divorce. Moreover, she could not go back to her own family since she had severed all ties with them. There was nowhere she could go, so she had to cup with a backup plan.
"When the tcomes, I'll have Edmund arrange a house and a car in your name. I'll also give you a sum of money after the divorce, so you don't have to worry about anything at all," said Lucas after a minute of silence.
He had indeed arranged things quite appropriately. He decided to provide her with a house, a car, and even money for her future. Melody would not need to worry about her life after the divorce if he were to proceed with this plan.
Melody shook her head. "You've givena lot. Besides, we're not a real couple, so I can't possibly take more from you." Melody entered into the marriage contract with Lucas to escape from her family. Lucas, in turn, helped her by giving three million dollars to her family and providing her with a monthly allowance. What he provided was more than enough.
Lucas did not expect Melody to refuse; such generous terms would be tempting for any woman. Nonetheless, he did not force her into accepting." So, what kind of job do you plan to look for next?" Melody could no longer go to Parr Group, but there were no better job offers on the horizon. Thus, she could only take it one step at a time.
"We'll see. Right now, I don't know what industry I want to work in." Melody grinned, looking down at the food in front of her. "The most important thing now is to eat. Let's dig in!" Back at the Sanders' residence, Wendy-deeply angered upon discovering the deception-returned hand locked herself in her room. She never expected that Melody, whom she had always looked down upon, could set up such a big trap.

'It seems that b*tch Melody has been hiding her scheming nature all along. Ooh, I shouldn't have let my guard down around her! But she couldn't have known to hide her nature from such a young age. Someone must be teaching her these things!' thought Wendy. Only one person could possibly do that, and that was Helen.
'D*mn that woman! She acts all submissive toon the surface, but she was actually encouraging Melody to act weak so she could lie!' The more Wendy thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt like she had been played for a fool by this mother-daughter duo.
Enraged, Wendy went downstairs to find Helen and immediately slapped her on sight Heleh, you're just as despicable as your daughter!" X
