Chapter 25: Who Said They Wouldn't Admit It?

Chapter 25: Who Said They Wouldn't Admit It? 

Reagan was waiting for Quince to ask.This was exactly what she wanted.She had always hatedQuince's favoritism towards Melody.

Although her mother always reminded her that this was a delaying tactic, she was still unhappy.

Now that she had finally found some fault with Melody, she was delighted to let her father punish her.

She glanced spitefully at Melody from the corner of her eyes before looking back at her father.

"Daddy, you didn't know!?" she asked, acting surprised and concerned.

"There were some people who snuck out last night.Now I don't know what they were doing.I assumedthat they would be more honest after...you know? Coming from the countryside and all" she continued.

"But my goodness! I didn't expect them to have so many tricks up their sleeves.Our family isn't just asmall family, we are the Sullivans! If we were photographed by some reporters, who knows what theywould write!" she finished dramatically.

Seeing the stunned look on her father's face, she added in a depressing tone "When the time comes, itwill really be a disaster!" but underneath all those expressions were actually a delight.

She knew what was coming for Melody, and it was not going to be pretty.

Reagan looked at Melody resentfully after she had finished speaking, venting all the dissatisfaction inher heart.

Unexpectedly, Melody didn't react at all.She stood still calmly, with her hands in her pockets.She lookedcoldly in front of her as if Reagan didn't just speak ill of her.

The flames that have just faded from Reagan's heart instantly rose again.She stared hatefully atMelody.She wanted to rush forward and slap her.She wanted to tear off the mask on her face that waspretending to be noble and virtuous.

"You can't deny it," Reagan said, breaking her silence.

"You country bumpkin, don't know that our house still has a lot of surveillance cameras, do you? Thesurveillance cameras remember it clearly.You can't deny it even if you want to." even though Reaganwas full of rage, she had her voice in control, just the way she was supposed to.

Melody averted her gaze from Reagan, she did not care about what she was fussing about.

Instead, she glanced over the living room and saw Elizabeth and Charles sitting on their refined leathercouch.

They were both smiling and waiting for Quince to deal with her.Her gaze fell upon her sister, Sarah.

Instantly, she felt something was wrong.

Melody wondered why Sarah was frowning at her, looking worried.

After hearing Reagan's accusations, Quince's face turned red from the rage that built up.He felt thatMelody was too rebellious.

If it was really like what Reagan had just said, then he must teach Melody a lesson at once.

"Melody! Tell me the truth.Did you go out last night?"

Quince commanded.His rage was becoming noticeable in his voice.

"Yes, I did" Melody replied in a monotonous voice.

It was difficult to tell what her intentions were, but she did not seem to have any intention of defendingherself.

Reagan was waiting for Melody to replace an excuse, to explain herself, or beg for forgiveness.

It will be her opportunity to slap Melody, but what she did not expect was for her to admit to it soarrogantly on the spot.

You were suddenly brought back from the countryside, do you think that because you are the daughterof a rich family, you are not afraid of anything? Reagan thought, as her face revealed her disbelief.Shewas so annoyed looking at Melody.

"Daddy, look at her.She clearly did something wrong, yet she is so proud of it.How arrogant.She simplydoesn't care about you or our reputation as a Sullivan.She will cause our downfall!" she exclaimed,looking at her father.

She waited for Quince to punish Melody.Her father was visibly angry, she knew that his patience wasthinning.

All of a sudden, Sarah spoke.

"Daddy, actually, I think that Melody has just come back and isn't used to it.So going out for a walk atnight isn't a big deal, right?"

In an instant, everyone was looking at Sarah.She spoke gently, explaining her side to their father.Sheshocked everyone the moment she spoke as if no one expected her to speak up for Melody.

Even Melody unconsciously looked at her and studied her up and down.

Reagan was irritated.

Whoever helped Melody was now her enemy.

"Sarah, when did you have the right to speak? Don't you know that you have been kicked out of theSullivan Family? It's only out of mercy that we let you sit here.What right do you have to speak?" sheasked, directing her hatred towards Sarah.

"You..."

Sarah started, she was so angry that her face turned red.

She had never been on good terms with Reagan since she was young, and because their mother hadalways favored Reagan and hated Sarah, her position in the Sullivan Family was far inferior to Reagan.

In addition, because of their bad history, she was driven out of the Sullivan Family, and Reagan lookeddown on her even more.

Sarah had no way to fight back.

Reagan was right.She was in no position to make excuses, let alone speak.

So even though her entire body was trembling with anger, she held back.

"Since ancient times, there has been an order between the older and the younger.The elder sister islike a mother.Reagan, isn't this one of the so-called rules of the Sullivans?" Melody asked Reagan.

Melody's words seemed to be light, but every word was perfect.

Just now, Reagan used the rules to suppress her, but now she had lost the rules.

Shouldn't she be punished? Reagan's face turned pale.

She glared at Melody, "Did I say something wrong? She has been kicked out of the Sullivan family, andshe voluntarily gave up.Does she still count as a member of the family?"

Reagan retorted.
