His Heiress Wife (Retika)
Chapter 78: She's My Fiancée

Chapter 78: She's My Fiancée 

When the people inside the store heard the cold, authoritative voice, they all turned around to see atall, slender young man slowly walking over to them, followed by a few senior managers.

Everyone took a deep breath after realizing what was going on.

People gasped after they saw the man's handsome face.

It was so beautiful! Seth's beautiful features caught Melody's attention, and she furrowed her eyebrows.

Having his eyes raised slightly, he appeared calm and attractive.

But, even if he maintained a calm demeanor, his looks were enough to enthrall everyone.

With his innate noble aura, it made him even more terrifying. Despite his youth, he did not exude eventhe slightest hint of impatience.

On the contrary, his entire body radiated a cold and distant aura that caused people to fear him withouteven realizing it.

When Louis saw Seth, he was equally stunned.

He was familiar with the President of the Harrison Corporation and the eldest son of the Harrisonfamily.Louis approached Seth respectfully.

The smile on his face was a little flattering, "President Harrison, what a coincidence.What brought youto this place today?"

Seth walked closer to Melody.

His deep jet-black eyes sparkled with a tinge of coldness and indifference.He looked at Louis in theeyes, and his voice was even relatively low than it was before.

"Unfortunately, I found out that my fiancée was being bullied and came here to help her!"

When the sales lady realized that things had gotten out of hand and that everyone present wassomeone she couldn't afford to offend, she immediately contacted the mall's department manager toget things back under control.

Coincidentally, Seth happened to be inspecting the department store at the time, and the sales lady raninto him by chance.

As soon as he heard that the lady from the Sullivan family had a problem, he dashed over to help her.

'I didn't expect it to be Melody!' Those words from Seth took everyone in the room entirely bysurprise!"Fi...Fiancée?"

Louis stuttered and had a perplexed expression on his face as he looked at Seth.

'There were only a few people in the room.Which one of them was his fiancée?' Seth didn't mind Louiswhen he noticed his befuddled expression.

"Mr.Parry, as a well-known figure in the business industry, Gathering information is just as easy assnapping your fingers.Don't you think you should have run some background check first before youharassed her?"

Seth grinned slyly.

There was a flash of coldness in his eyes.

Even though the smile on his face was gentle, it made Louis want to fall to his knees.

'Could it be?' he shivered at his thoughts.

Louis appeared to have guessed something, and his eyeballs were on the verge of falling out.

When he said, "President Harrison, could it be..." the corners of his mouth twitched.

Seth interrupted him before he could finish his sentence.

"That's right.Melody is my fiancée.And Mr.Parry is in the department store under my name and dared toharass my fiancée? Hmm...?"

He dragged out the final word, appearing to be tired and lazy, but it was a powerful warning.

Louis was on the verge of a nervous breakdown because of his fear.

Even the mere mention of the name "Seth" was enough to cause him to shudder in fear.

Both Mrs.Parry and Lillian, who were standing behind Louis, were terrified to the point that their facesturned pale.

They had initially assumed that Melody was a down-on-her-luck country bumpkin who no one wanted.

It was hard to believe that she came from such an impressive background.

She was Seth's fiancée.

In California, offending the Harrison Family was the equivalent of offending the King of Hell and wishingfor demise.

Sarah felt a burst of excitement as she looked at Seth's towering presence from the back.

'This boyfriend had so much power and influence: She firmly grasped Melody's hand and smiled at her,her eyes twinkling with delight.

Melody squinted and frowned, her chin tilted to the side as she spoke.

"Can you tell me why were your eyes twitching?" she inquired, her voice filled with disgust.

Sarah was at a loss for words and chose to remain silent instead.

Her younger sister had no idea what she was saying because she was so cold-hearted! She sat backquietly and observed how her future brother-in-law would deal with this situation.

If Seth was willing to admit Melody's identity as his fiancée in front of others, Melody was sure tobecome the Harrison family's future madam.

In the face of such a large and influential family, how could the Parry family afford to offend theHarrisons? Louis was a savvy businessman, and he precisely knew what to do in this kind of situation.

It didn't take long before he grabbed his wife and daughter by their arms and lashed out at them with agloomy look on his face.

"Even though you both have eyes, but you lack a sense of sight and overlooked this fact.Come on,hurry up and apologize to President Harrison's fiancée "

Having a powerful husband made Mrs.Parry an egotistical woman.

Now that her husband couldn't help, and she had offended the Harrison family, how could she not lowerher head in apology? She came to a halt in front of her daughter, Lillian, and greeted Melody.

"Miss Sullivan, please accept my sincere apologies.We were the ones who upset you.Please forgiveus, okay?"

Mrs.Parry saw right through everything and apologized right away.

However, how could a spoiled brat like Lillian apologize to a country bumpkin like Melody? She wasinfuriated and trembled as if she had been shaken to the core.

Her eyes were enraged.

It felt like she was tearing Melody apart with her eyes shooting like daggers.

'Why would anyone like Melody be a match for Seth, a top-tier bachelor with a stellar reputation?' Lillianthought, gritting her teeth.

Seth cast a sidelong glance at Melody and noticed her cold expression.She scowled and appeareddissatisfied.

His expression also became cold, and he began to make things difficult for Mr.Parry.

"Is this the Parry family's attitude?" Louis' face had turned pale from fear.

He turned around quickly and slapped Lillian in front of everyone.

"What did I teach you, Lillian? If you don't properly apologize to Miss Sullivan, you should immediatelypack up your suitcase and go to a boarding school overseas to study!"

This threat frightened Lillian.She thought it would be better to let her die rather than send her to awomen's boarding school in another country.She panicked and looked at her father, but his father'sface was solemn and a look that said that there was no room for negotiation.She looked at her motheragain, but Mrs.Parry tried to give her a meaningful glance to persuade her to compromise.

Lillian had no choice but to apologize to Melody and hold back her anger.

"Miss Sullivan, pardon me.I didn't mean to offend you" she mumbled in a stiff voice as she struggled toopen her mouth.

Melody looked at her indifferently.

"I'm not the one you should apologize to!" she said coldly.

Lillian furrowed her brows and looked at Melody menacingly.She was so enraged that she wanted to ripher to pieces, but she could only lower her head in apology.She turned around and fixed her gaze onSarah.She apologized once more, clasping her hands together.

Finally, her eyes turned red in front of everyone as a result of the unprecedented humiliation, "Sarah,please accept my apologies.I didn't mean to offend you"

Sarah and Lillian had been at odds for as long as she could remember.She had no idea the egotisticalLillian Parry would be reduced to this.

But, on the other hand, Sarah felt much better after seeing Lillian in such a bad state.

However, when she saw Lillian in this state, she could no longer bear it.

"It's fine; let's just put it behind us!"

Lillian lowered her head and remained motionless after Sarah had finished talking.

Sarah was also aware that Seth held the most power in this situation.

Who could forget this eventful day if he would disagree? She sneaked a glance at Seth and wasimmediately taken aback by the terrifying aura that surrounded him.

Sarah lacked the courage to approach Seth, but she dared to look for Melody.

"Mellie, why don't we just let it go this time? after all, we have nothing to lose!"

They were only spoken with a few nasty words at the most, and the other party didn't even bother totouch them.

On the other hand, the Parry family was in a challenging situation.

Mrs.Parry was thrown over Melody's shoulder, and she could not stand for quite some time.

And after that, Louis slapped his daughter in front of everyone.

What a depressing situation! After she heard Sarah's persuasion, Melody raised her brows andglanced at her, "Are you sure?" she asked.
