Chapter 66
Russell felt conflicted about Melody. If she were not his own daughter, it would be much simpler. He felt that Melody was unsuitable because she was raised in the countryside since childhood, and the affection was not as strong as a father’s bond should be.
Thinking this way, Russell said, “Ynda, apologize to Melody. And promise that you will never take her things again.”
Ynda felt countless humiliations in her heart. Apologizing to this ugly girl was more ufortable for her than a p from Russell.
“Ynda?” Russell urged with a frown.
Ynda bit her lip and said shamefully, “I’m sorry, I will never touch your things again.” She almost squeezed out this sentence from her teeth. Maria frowned when she heard it, but Russell thought it was enough.
There was a difference between the old and the young. An elder bowing down to apologize to a younger generation, no matter whether it was true or not, it was over here.
“Well, let’s just drop this matter. The other day, I will go to Owen again. If it goes as you say, there should still be room for this matter. The other day, you two will take gifts with me to the Nathan family.”
Melody lowered her eyes and obediently responded, “Yes.”
Ynda also responded and then said she was not feeling well and went upstairs.Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.
The contract issue was heavily dropped and lightly ended. Melody returned to the room but couldn’t calm down. This war without smoke seemed to have been won, but in fact, it was lost. This was a great blow to her, and for several days, she couldn’t cheer up no matter what she did. Even when she went to the Swanson family to match the medicine for Margaret, she was listless.
On the fourth day, Melody was having dinner in the living room. Owen’s contract was finally sessfully reached at the price of Russell giving up 10% of the profits.
But even if they gave up 10% of the profit, the Justalion Group could still make a lot of money. Russell was in a rare good mood today, and he asked the butler to open a bottle of red wine to drink with Ynda. By then, Melody became an outsider.
The couple clinked sses, and Mabel smiled and congratted them. The family of three was happy, and Melody felt out of ce.
Russell looked at Mabel with a smile in his eyes and said, “The sess of this cooperation is due to Mabel.”
Ynda pretended to be confused. “Mabel? What can Mabel do to help you?”
Russell said, “Mabel and Owen’s eldest daughter were ssmates before. She asked her to plead with Owen. When signing the contract, the youngdy was also there and asked Mabel to teach her coffee-making more when she was free.”
Mabel was originally quite happy, but upon hearing the word coffee-making, the sd in her mouth suddenly became tasteless.
At Margaret’s birthday party, the Nathan family happened to be back in their hometown, so they were unaware that Melody had outperformed herself in coffee-making.
“What’s the matter?” Russell asked, noticing Mabel’s reaction.
Getting older, Mabel didn’t want to draw attention, but she felt humiliated by being praised only for coffee-making.
Ynda then deliberately mentioned Melody, her eyes slightly shing. “What about Melody? Do you n to let Melody join thepany?”
At the mention of Melody, Russell’s hand holding the wine ss paused. Today’s fashion designers needed to be highly skilled, and he didn’t think it was a good idea for Melody to join thepany without a foundation in fashion design.
He said, “Melody, you don’t have a foundation in fashion design, and you need more experience. I found a small headhuntingpany a couple of years ago. How about this? You go home now and strive to be a shareholder in the future.”
Mabel almost couldn’t help butugh when she heard this. She only managed to restrain herughter after seeing Ynda’s cautionary look.
A headhuntingpany was so small that the number of people in the entirepany could be counted on one hand. Melody working there was tantamount to being directly abandoned by Russell.
