Chapter 518

Cynthia rolled her eyes at Melody and admonished with a smile, “Okay, don’t talk nonsense.”

Melody laughed evilly and said, “Our dear Cynthia Larson belongs to the Larson family of Fernvale.Impressive, right?”

Larson family of Fernvale?!

Suddenly!

Philip’s pupils constricted as he stared at Cynthia with a death stare.

His mother’s family!

The Larson family!

Melody saw that Philip was dumbfounded, so she pushed him amusedly and said, “Don’t be soexaggerated. Everyone knows the Larson family of Fernvale. Don’t act as if you’re hearing it for the firsttime.”

Cynthia also frowned and looked at Philip in bewilderment. This man was acting strange. Why did shefeel that the look in his eyes was a little odd?

Philip’s heart was shaken. It took him a long while before he recovered. His eyes were already red.

He did not expect to meet people from his mother’s side of the family. Perhaps Cynthia might even berelated to him by blood.

Philip had attempted to contact the Larson family of Fernvale before but failed.

There seemed to be a huge force in the dark that kept preventing him from contacting the Larsonfamily.

It was because of this that Philip gradually forgot about this matter.

However, Philip never gave up on trying to contact them because he had to make sure of one thing.

“I’ve only watched the news about the Larson family on TV before, but I didn’t expect to see someonefrom that big family today. Sure enough, I’m impressed.” Philip smiled courteously.

It was an unexpected windfall.

Cynthia returned his smile with a few words of reply before she gritted her teeth, glared at Melody, andsaid in mock anger, “You have such a big mouth.”

Melody stuck her tongue out and paid her no heed.

A few minutes later.

In the Peach Blossom private room of Drunken Immortal Court, Melody took Philip’s arm and enteredwith Cynthia.

“Mel, here!” As soon as they entered, they heard someone calling Melody’s name.

Melody followed the voice and saw that the private room was already filled with several people.

The person who called out to Melody was none other than Simon Luther, the guy who had beenpursuing her before.

Simon naturally saw Philip standing next to Melody and also noticed that Melody had her arm hookedaround Philip’s!

How did this happen?

Were they?

No way! Impossible!

Philip also noticed Simon and gave him a polite smile.

However, when this smile fell into Simon’s eyes, it was seen as blatant mocking and showing off!

He was very angry when he saw Melody leading Philip to sit at the other side. He sullenly hung hishead before he finished his drink that was on the table in one gulp!

“Young Master Luther, what’s going on? Melody seems to be ignoring you.”

A guy sitting next to Simon asked curiously at this moment.

“Mind your own business!”

Simon was already in a bad mood, so he raged at this time.

There were no less than ten people in the private room and not everyone knew each other, so theyformed their little circles while playing and chatting.

In general, all those present were the boys and girls from rich and wealthy families.

“Mel, you’re finally here, I’ve been waiting for you.”

The person who spoke was a woman about Melody’s age. She looked quite pretty, but far inferiorcompared to Melody and Cynthia.

It was mainly due to her heavy makeup.

“This is my university classmate, Marilyn Chester, a native of Riverdale. She’s the one who organizedthis gathering. We haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

Melody smiled as she introduced her to Philip.

However, she did not even look at Philip but glanced at Cynthia instead and asked, “Is this the bestfriend you mentioned? Wow, what a great beauty!”

While speaking, she stood up, took Melody’s hand, and drew other people’s attention in the privateroom. “Hey, stop for a moment. This is Melody Zander, one of the four golden flowers of Riverdale thatI’ve mentioned to you before. She’s also the daughter of our underground king, Theo Zander. Howabout it, isn’t she pretty?

“And this is Miss Zander’s best friend, the one and only goddess! From the Larson family of Fernvale!”

Marilyn put her hands on Cynthia’s shoulders and said with a smile.

She knew Melody, and she also knew that Melody had a best friend from the Larson family of Fernvale!

That was a very prestigious family!

Although they had suddenly withdrawn from many markets all over the country more than ten yearsago, their influence was still great.

“Hello everyone, I’m Cynthia Larson,” Cynthia said graciously, her sweet smile falling in everyone’seyes like a dream.

Everyone stood up and returned sincere smiles and warm greetings.

“Hello everybody, I’m Melody Zander.”

Melody inclined slightly and introduced herself in a low voice before looking at Philip suddenly. Shethen said, “This is my boyfriend, Philip Clarke!”

Everyone merely nodded slightly without even looking directly at Philip.

Philip did not say anything but sat down next to Melody. However, he clearly felt that everyone waslooking at him in an unfriendly manner.

“Haha, a country bumpkin is shameless enough to come in here.”

Instantly, words full of sarcasm and contempt rang out in the room.

Melody was being complimented because of her father’s influence, but there was no need to flatterhim.
