His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 215: Seth, the Free Labor  

Axel had noticed Jasper's hints.He wouldn't have been willing to help the Wyne family if he didn't know how different Jasper was compared to his young brother and father.

After all, was offending Seth something anyone could afford? If this matter wasn’t handled well, Axel would also be implicated.

Just thinking of it made him agitated.

He hesitated for a moment.

After a while, when he thought that the time was right, he introduced Jasper.

"Melody, this is my cousin-in-law, Jasper Wyne!"

Hearing Axel introduce him, Jasper almost couldn't wait to pick up his wine glass and have a toast with Melody.

Originally, Melody sat quietly but after hearing Axel's voice, she picked up a big lobster and threw it on the plate in front of Seth.

Everyone initially assumed that it was Melody serving Seth and didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.

After all, even if she didn't do it, countless people were willing to do so but didn’t have the chance.

However, they thought that her action was a bit boorish.

The whole lobster was placed in front of Seth domineeringly.She didn't even dismantle it.

The man's eyes coldly landed on the lobster in front of him.

Seth elegantly wiped his hand first.

Then, he started to dismantle the lobster piece by piece. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Using a special tool, he scooped the lobster meat from its shell and neatly placed them on the clean small plate.

Outstanding people were really different.

Although he was only deshelling lobsters, he still looked fascinating.

Watching him was as entertaining as watching a show.

To everyone's surprise, after he was done deshelling the lobster, he didn't start eating it.

Instead, he took the empty plate in front of Melody and replaced it with his plate, even pouring the sauce on top of the lobster meat.

"It's done!"

The man's voice was low and gentle.

A loving smile hung on his lips paired with his doting gaze.

It just showed how willing he was to do it.

At this point, the present people finally realized that Melody was not serving Seth but instead treated him as free labor.

In the entirety of California, it was probably only Melody who would dare to order Seth like this.

Before that scene, Jasper thought that Melody was just Seth’s woman and he wouldn't offend the Laurier family and the Wyne family for her sake.

Seeing this scene was an eye-opener.He was stunned.

Jasper thought that he was dreaming.

A woman who could make a high and might Seth serve her like this was far from ordinary.

Jasper’s expression changed as he held his wine glass with both hands.

He respectfully bowed down with a sincere attitude, saying, "Hello, Miss Sullivan.I'm Jasper.You may not know me but I'm the older brother of Jack, who offended you yesterday.I came here today to offer my apology.I hope you can forgive me!"

Melody's dark and deep eyes were as charming as the night sky.She lifted her gaze and looked at Jasper.

"Oh, so you are here to apologize!"

Jasper straightened his back and nodded vigorously.

"Yes, Miss Sullivan.I'm really very sorry.My ignorant brother offended you!"

"I don't need your apology!"

Those simple words made the Wyne family's eldest son, Jasper, change expression.His tense expression was replaced with terror.He could feel his heart beating faster out of panic.

Jasper thought, ‘What does she mean?’

‘Could it be that we can't really be saved?"

Melody didn't wait for Jasper to figure out what she meant.

After all, he seemed too scared to think of anything.

She repeated, "You didn't hear it wrong.I said that you don't need to apologize!"

She looked at his pale face and added, "First, you're not the one who did something wrong!"

After she said that, she raised her eyebrows and sharply looked at the other party's face, "Correct me if I'm mistaken but isn't Jack just your half-brother?"

Although Jasper felt embarrassed exposing such a thing, he could only truthfully nod.

In fact, he didn’t want to help that hedonistic idiot brother of his.

Over the years, his father had done so much for Jack, offending plenty of people in the process.

Previously, the Wyne family could still handle it.

Besides, the one in charge of the family was his father, Jeremy.

The latter didn't even take Jasper seriously let alone listen to his opinion.

Jasper could only bear with it.

However, it was different this time.

They have touched someone who they shouldn't and ended up putting the Wyne family in dire straits.

Jasper could only try to stand up.

Seeing his response, melody continued, "Second, in exchange for your brother offending me, I broke his legs.The debt has been repaid so why did you come here to apologize?"

Jasper knew that Melody wasn't the one who spread the news.

However, it was clear to everyone starting yesterday that the Wyne family had offended the Harrison family.

He also heard that Harrison released some news, saying that anyone who cooperated with the Wyne family should terminate their contract with them before the Harrison family made their move.

Who would dare to offend the Harrison family? With this, the Wyne family would go bankrupt in just a week.

Jasper didn't come here to just beg for Melody's forgiveness, but also for Seth who was behind her.

He glanced at Seth but did not dare to say anything.

It wasn't that Melody couldn't see through Jasper's thoughts, but what did it have to do with her if Seth wanted to do something? What right did she have to ask Seth to let an outsider go? Did they have a relationship with each other? Jasper originally had plenty of excuses prepared.

However, before he could use any of them, Melody rendered him unable to use them.

Now that she had said everything, what more could he do? Thus, he remained rooted to the ground, motionless.

Melody slowly picked up the lobster meat and easily finished her meal.

After swallowing the last bite, she turned to look at Seth.

"I’m full!"

She put down her utensils.

"Alright, let's go back," gently said Seth as he looked at her with a smile.

His tone was also filled with distress.

Seeing how exhausted she looked earlier in the car, he originally wanted to order Austin to change directions and go back home.

However, she woke up when the car stopped.

Melody was the one who agreed to come so Seth had to respect her decision.

Now that she wanted to leave after eating her fill, no one could stop her.

When Melody stood up, Seth automatically followed.

He held her hand and left the room under everyone's eyes.

If the two big shots wanted to leave, who dared to stop them? When they reached the door, Melody suddenly stopped and turned around.

She looked at Jasper.

Seeing that Melody's gaze was on him, Jasper’s eyes lit up with hope.

Unfortunately, Melody wasn't going to plead with Seth on his behalf.

"I almost forgot! If you have time, why don't you bring your brother and father to the hospital for a checkup? There might be a surprise!"

Seeing the tinge of mischief in Melody’s eyes, Jasper blanked out for a moment.

But Melody didn’t care.

She left the motionless Jasper and turned to leave.

But she was humming a song as she walked, "The son who's not mine still needs to be fed..."

Only after the two disappeared from their sight did everyone react.

Iven's eyes were fixed on Jasper, unable to hide the smile on his face.

He was also familiar with Jasper, so he joked with him openly.

"Jasper, is the roof of your house, green?"

Jasper's face darkened and he didn’t reply to Iven's joke.

He didn't believe that Melody was someone who spoke nonsense.

Since Melody was someone who could put the Wyne family in a desperate situation, she likely knew some information that others did not know about.

Jack's background was an example! Axel understood the whole situation best.

He raised his hand and gave Jasper a pat on his shoulder and reminded him, "Jasper, you should be decisive.Melody had made it clear that you weren't the one who did something wrong!"

He didn't forget to add, "She has already put me into consideration!"

Jack's hedonistic attitude had already incurred Seth's wrath.

The sort of wrath where he could kill them all.

If Jasper still couldn't understand such a thing that could be seen in plain sight, then the Laurier family would need to cut off their ties with this sort of relative right away.

Although the Wyne family would naturally suffer a loss, at the least, Jasper wasn't the one who did something wrong.

Melody was clear when it came to grudges.

She would treat people with the same attitude they had treated her with.

If others didn't act like they wanted to die and didn't offend her, she would naturally do nothing to them.

Jasper finally reacted after a while and sighed.

"Brother-in-law, thank you for today.I still have something to do, so I'll go back first!"

Jasper didn't have to talk about it.

Axel already knew that he was going to investigate Jack's background, so he did not stop him.

He just told him to be careful and let him leave.
