However, within the upper echelons of Sommerville, a select few were soon to catch wind of this news.

Before long, they would quietly begin acquiring land near Surriware.

With them spearheading the effort, even a whisper of opportunity would draw in other businesses.

Melody estimated her liquid assets to be around 45 million.

After considering the costs of land purchases and the raw materials for her pharmaceuticals, it didn't seem like a substantial amount. Yet, she was resolute!

Turning to Edward, she tilted her head and spoke in a sweet, enticing tone. "Honey, let me give this a shot.

my own first.

"If it doesn't pan out, then you can step in, okay?"

As a married couple, she understood that with his resources, she didn't need to prove her worth by going

alone.

In the business world, connections were just as crucial as skills!

Fortunately, her husband was the most well-connected person in Sommerville.

Edward respected her determination, nodding in agreement, his eyes gleaming with admiration.

He knew that Melody would never shy away from a challenge; it simply wasn't in her nature.

Memories of her as a teenager flooded his thoughts-Melody in her school uniform, following Martin. who leaned casually against a large tree in a black windbreaker, lecturing her. With her fair skin and blue-and-white uniform, she resembled a little fairy just stepping into the world.

She had fiercely defended herself against Martin's teasing, her bright almond-shaped eyes shining. "Martin, Ken is just helping me with my homework; don't make it sound so sleazy!" Martin had scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Mel, if you back him up again

His relaxed demeanor was charming, exuding a casual coolness intertwined with undeniable charisma.

Then, he stepped closer, seriousness replacing his playfulness. "Melody, don't say things like that."

Melody tilted her head in confusion. "Huh?"

Instantly, Martin reverted to his playful self, ruffling her hair and grinning mischievously. "Because as long as I'm alive. I'll always be your brother-one who gets to bully and tease you!" Realizing he had ignited her temper, Martin quickly took off, laughing as he dashed away.

Back then, he was like a gust of wind-swift and carefree.

Little did she know the inner turmoil he faced.

Martin couldn't accept her not treating him as her brother because he had brought her home when she was just eight.

He was acutely aware that Melody wasn't his biological sister.

Yet, he had sworn to be her brother forever, to protect her.

As Martin tousled her hair, she frowned and chased after him, only to crash into a solid chest that smelled of fresh pine. "Ow... my nose hurts!"

Looking up. her eyes glistened with tears, sparkling like glass.

Young Edward felt his heart race at the sight, a sudden warmth washing over him.

Instinctively, he reached out to check for injuries, but accidentally squeezed her soft check.

Both of them froze in awkwardness.

In that moment, Edward felt a jolt of electricity run through him, leaving him breathless.

His ears turned noticeably red as he stammered, "S-sorry...

Unsure of what he said, she thought he was making fun of her!

Melody stared wide-eyed, then blushed in embarrassment. "Y-you pervert!"

With that, she stormed off, but a closer look revealed her hurried steps were still somewhat clumsy.

By the time Edward turned around, all he saw was her retreating figure, her high ponytail swinging proudly in the evening sun.

She looked so cute, puffed up in anger!
