Chapter 1450 An Appointment


    "There is no need for that. Thank you," said Cassie. She figured that the receptionist had called only


    because Jordan had asked her to do so before leaving.


    "All right, then. If you need anything, please tell us," said the receptionist.


    "I will. Thank you,"


    Cassie said and hung up. She felt something strange in her heart.


    ''Jordan does actually care about me. He really means it. Nick and I are pretty much done. Will it be


    hard on me if I start a new rtionship right away?'' Cassie thought to herself.


    In Dream Garden


    Melissa was having her morning tea and rxing in the garden. She wanted to go to the beauty salon


    with some of her friends, but she didn''t expect that Le would pester her with calls so early in the


    morning.


    She was annoyed. ''I don''t know why she is calling me this time, but I know it''s nothing good. I thought


    we had an agreement that we shouldn''t be contacting each other since she left the Lu family. But she


    just doesn''t learn, '' Melissa thought to herself angrily.


    She set her phone in silent mode and ced it on the table. She decided to ignore all the calls, so that


    Le would understand and stop bothering her.


    It was funny how sometimes people change their attitude overnight. Melissa used to adore Le. She


    wanted to give the best of everything to Le and Melissa just hated to see her get hurt.


    But now, all that was gone. The fondness had disappeared. It was as if she never cared about Le at

    all. She even treated Le worse than how she treated strangers.


    Her heart had changed so quickly.


    Maybe it was just that Melissa never really loved anyone but herself from the beginning. She was nice


    to Le only to satisfy her own desires and to meet her own goals.


    Hence, the fondness that hade in like a tidal wave, had disappeared as fast as it hade.


    Finally, after a while, Melissa''s phone stopped vibrating. It was a relief because she thought that she


    didn''t have to deal with Le anymore. However, her phone screen lit up with a message notification.


    The text message was from Le. "Aunt Melissa, I''m at the end of my rope. I have nowhere to go. I''m


    asking for your help because I''m desperate. Pleasee and see me once. If you think that our


    friendship is not worthy anymore, then I won''t attach any importance to our friendship either. I might


    just end up telling Charles and Sheryl some of the things that you have done. And I will tell them


    everything honestly and in detail."


    As soon as Melissa finished reading that text, a second one arrived.


    "Looking forward to hearing from you. I hope you won''t disappoint me or I will disappoint you."


    Melissa was surprised at first, and then frightened. If Le revealed all her secrets to Charles, he would


    be pissed.


    ''Thest time I fell into the trap set by that bitch, Charles was so angry. After that incident, my life has


    be worse than before. I feel isted at home, and Charles remains distant. Not to mention, he cut


    down my allowance. When I go out with my friends, I don''t feel like I''m the rich one anymore.


    If she tells Charles about those things, this time, he might kick me out of the house!'' Melissa thought in


    a panic.


    ''If I leave the Lu family, I will have to lead a life that is not worth living. I will have no money and no one


    to order around. I would rather die than live like that. What is the meaning of living like that anyway?''


    she thought in disdain.


    Melissa trembled at the thought of living the life of the poor.


    She quickly typed a message, responding to Le. She wanted tofort her first, just in case she was


    nning to do something impetuous.


    ''I will make an appointment with her and listen to whatever she has to say. If she asks for money, I can


    still refuse her at the time, '' Melissa nned in her head.


    She responded, "Le, I was a little busy, that''s why I couldn''t pick up your call. If you want to talk to


    me, I''m absolutely willing to meet you. Tell me the ce and time. I''lle."


    Melissa checked the content of the message thrice to ensure that there was no issues with her words.


    Then she hit the send button.


    When Le received that message, she sneered in disdain. She could feel the hypocrisy in the


    message. ''That bitch, '' Le thought, gritting her teeth.


    ''There''s no way that she was busy. I know her! That bitch has nothing to be busy with!''


    She sent the location and time to Melissa.


    At a cafe


    Le reached early to their meeting ce and waited for Melissa to arrive. She sat at the table next to


    the window, and the scene outside the window was starting to bore her. That was when Melissa finally


    showed up.


    Before Melissa arrived, Le didn''t even dare to order anything for herself from the cafe. She was


    afraid that if Melissa didn''t turn up like she had promised, the meagre amount of money she had


    wouldn''t be enough to pay for the coffee.


    The thought depressed her. Sorrow was pasted all over her face. She hadn''t been sleeping welltely


    because of all the stress. She had dark circles around her eyes and she was in no mood to wear


    makeup. So, her face looked pale and exhausted. People who saw her would think that she was ill.


    Melissa sat down in front of her and put her handbag on the side of the table. She looked at Le''s


    sulky face. She secretly med Le for being useless. ''It has only been a short while since she left


    the Lu family. And she has already ended up like this. What a loser!''


    Melissa looked her up and down. ''I thought she had a pretty face, but now, she doesn''t look that good


    anymore. She looks so ugly right now, trying to get more money than she doesn''t deserve.


    How could I have been so blind to choose an ally like her? She was never apetition for Sheryl. Oh


    my God. What was I thinking?


    Looking closely now, she''s not even half as pretty as Sheryl. No wonder Charles didn''t give her a


    second look.


    But all that doesn''t matter anymore. She''s useless now and she is a loser who is supposed to


    disappear forever. However, here we are. She still wants to extort money from me!''


    Melissa regretted ever having formed an alliance with Le. If she had had better ways other than


    joining hands with Le at the time, she could have already kicked Sheryl out of the Lu family, and she


    would have long be the mistress of the Lu family.


    Although she hated seeing Le again, she put up a kind face and greeted her. "Le, long time no


    see. How''s everything going?" She acted so naturally that it seemed like Le had not been kicked out


    of the Lu family and like they were still good friends.


    Le replied, "Hi, Aunt Melissa. We really haven''t seen each other in such a long time. I''ve been


    missing you, and the time we spent together, no matter how good or bad it was. I also remember the


    time when we were in prison. I often finished your work first and then rushed to do my own work after


    that. At night, we provided strength to each other and we somehow managed to get through those


    miserable days."
