His Heiress Wife (Retika)
Chapter 34: Conditions of the Deal

Chapter 34: Conditions of the Deal 

Seth rolled down his window, pulled out a cigarette box, and took a stick to light.However, he noticedthat Melody was frowning.So he decided to throw the cigarette back in the box and closed down hiswindow.

Silence filled the air, both of them kept quiet as if nothing had happened.

Seth stared at her empty expression and decided to reveal his condition with a frigid smile.

"I don't need the shares of the Sullivan Family.I only want one thing.If you have a way to get it, I'll signthe contract'

"Alright, what do you want?" Melody asked.

Her expression tensed up, and she frowned slightly.She knew that Seth's condition was definitely notsimple.

"Do you know about the Black Alliance?" Seth asked casually.

He said this with a frigid expression as if he was talking about something insignificant.But Melody couldimmediately tell that he was suspecting her.Her identity may be a huge secret to others, but to him, it'snothing important.

After all, she had never hidden her identity on purpose.She merely wanted to see if Seth could figure itout.

"Yes, I've heard of it,'' Melody responded faintly.

Seth didn't expect her to admit without hesitation.It was best to admit right away that she knew what hewas asking so that he wouldn't beat around the bush.

"The Black Alliance will launch a game next month.If you can help the Harrison Corporation get rightsto the new game, I'll sign the contract.'’

The Black Alliance wasn't just a technology company; it was also the world's top game company.

The business industry had become slow recently, and the only way to generate money was lookingbetter in the gaming industry.

Three years ago, the Black Alliance launched a game, and it became a hit worldwide.

It had set a 100 million record in California, and the following day, its ability to generate money fastmade everyone gasp in admiration.

It had been firmly ranked first on the world's most popular mobile game list for three years, and all thegamers knew about it.

Black Alliance's products were undeniably high-quality.

If the Black Alliance launched another game, it would cause a phenomenal sensation and attract theattention of all the gamers.

In other words, if the Harrison Corporation had rights to this game, it would be like having a money-making machine in your house and seeing how much money you could generate.

This was indeed more attractive than the 20% shares that Melody offered to Seth.

The Sullivan Family was not particularly known, but a game of exceptional quality would surely bringthem a fortune.

Seth was surely a genius in the business industry.

He had just bought a chip from Melody, and now he also wants to acquire their new game.

There was no denying that the Harrisons have the potential to become the state's wealthiest family.

They do have business acumen.

Melody, on the other hand, suspected Seth's motivation had gone far deeper.

He was undoubtedly curious about her true identity and position in the Black Alliance.

Melody was intrigued by the notion, so she allowed him to replace out for himself.

"It's a deal!"

Melody's voice was crisp and clear as she looked at Seth with a narrowed gaze.

Seth's lips curled up like a ghost, and his eyes glistened with amusement as he heard Melody'sanswer.

As it turned out, this young lady wasn't very nice; she was downright cruel.

Thoughts filled Seth's mind afterward.

The next morning, Melody got up early and sat in the living room of the family house.

Today was Monday, and it was her first day of school.

Reagan and Charles were also both up.

Melody wanted to get to school first, but so did the two of them.

Meanwhile, Alistair was in a hurry to go to work, so he skipped breakfast.

Melody hasn't taken over the company yet, so Alistair has remained in charge for now.

As soon as their father left, Reagan put down her utensils and stood up alongside Charles as if theyhad an agreement.

Before Reagan left, she even looked back at Melody with a playful smile.

"Melody, today is your first day at school, right? Don't be late.The punishment is a small matter.But it'sa big deal to everyone if you embarrass our family name”

After saying that, Reagan left arrogantly without waiting for Melody to respond.

Melody ignored her.She doesn't even look at Reagan.She continued eating breakfast at her own pace.

Because it's not the seventh day yet, Sarah stayed at the house for the past few days.

Seeing that Melody has finally finished eating breakfast, Sarah reminded her once again, "Melody, weshouldn't be late for school on the first day.Why don't we leave now?"

For some reason, Sarah felt a little apprehensive when facing her little sister, who hadn't seen her formore than a decade.

Hearing this, Melody slowly raised her head and looked at Sarah with an expressionless look.

"We?" She asked softly and then paused.

Sarah understood what she meant and nodded with a smile, "Yes, we.I plan to accompany you toschool today.After all, it's your first day.You need to be accompanied, right?"

"No need!" Melody objected to her suggestion.

She didn't even think it through before rejecting Sarah.

But Sarah disregarded her objection; she knew that Melody was just shy and embarrassed to troubleher.

So to let Melody feel that she is cared for by her eldest sister, Sarah spared all her effort to persuadeMelody.

However, she had no idea that her plan would be effective simply because Melody had a sensitiveheart, while Sarah was highly eloquent.

Melody agreed to compromise so that she would stop being too noisy.

But when the two of them were ready to leave, they found that all the cars were gone.

Sarah immediately asked the housekeeper about the situation.

The housekeeper looked at them helplessly and started to explain.

Although the family did not favor these two in the Sullivan Family, they were still ladies.

As servants, they must not disrespect these two.

"I'm sorry, Miss Sarah, Miss Melody.

There are only five cars in the family.

Other than the two used to buy vegetables from the market, the rest have been used.

Reagan and Charles took separate cars today.

Alistair used the last one, so there are no other cars left: Hearing the housekeeper's explanation, Sarahunderstood that they had no choice.

"Looks like this was Reagan's plan.She wants Melody to be late and embarrass herself', Sarah thoughtto herself.She was afraid that Melody would be anxious about the situation, so she quickly comfortedher, "Don't worry.We'll take a cab.We'll be able to get to the school in time."

Their house was actually situated in a wealthy district.

Thus, there are very few cabs coming in.

Even if they call for a cab, it will take some time to arrive.

But Sarah remained optimistic because she didn't want Melody to be anxious on her first day.

Melody looked up at Sarah and faintly said, "There's no need for that.'

There was no hint of anxiousness from her face at all.

After saying this, Melody picked up her bag and walked out the door.

Sarah rushed after her as soon as she realized she was already left behind.

She muttered in her heart, "Melody, you don't plan to go to school walking, right? Because even so,you won't be able to make it to school before the end of the day”

Sarah was furious at Reagan's actions, but she needed to focus on their situation at the moment.Shehad no choice but to contact the platform to call for a cab.

Once she was done with that, she hurriedly chased after Melody.She was startled to discover thatMelody was walking away from the school in the opposite direction.

So she yelled, desperate to put a stop to her.

"Melody, come back here! The school is this way!"Sarah exclaimed.

But she saw Melody suddenly stop in front of a gorgeous villa.

Sarah was clueless about what Melody planned to do, but she was sure of one thing, that if she did nothurry up, she would really be late for school.
