His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 64: Drive the Cheating Out 

When Elizabeth arrived at the hospital, she was horrified at Charles's battered appearance.Her heart writhed in pain as she saw him lying weakly and unconscious on the bed.Although she loved Reagan, Charles was her treasure.

After all, it was because she gave birth to a male child that her status in the Sullivan family was solidified.

"Charlie, how did you end up like this?" Elizabeth broke out in tears.

Charles was particularly concerned about his father not helping him out, but Quince had always been used to being dignified, so he did not dare to voice his anger.

What was important was that his strongest ally, Elizabeth, had finally come to his rescue.

Charles didn't mind the pain as he forced himself to get up and rushed into Elizabeth's arms.

"Mommy, you are finally here.I was scared that I'd never see you again if you didn't come.That jinx had almost beaten me to death" he bawled.

"She whipped me with Grandpa's whip.It's so painful that I almost died!" he tattled more.

Elizabeth held Charles's face with her trembling hands and wiped away the tears on his face.

"Don't worry.Mommy will avenge you!"

Elizabeth swore indignantly.

Charles showed Elizabeth the wounds on his back.

His back was all black and red to the point that most of his wounds had turned purple.

This horrifying sight had Elizabeth frozen as she trembled in anger beyond belief.

She had never hit her son since he was born.

‘'Melody, you jinx! Are you that mad to beat my son like this?’' Elizabeth cursed in her head.

Her eyes were spitting fires from her anger.Elizabeth gritted her teeth and asked, "Melody.Where is she?"

Elizabeth stood up in a fury.

She glared at Quince and poured all her anger out.

"Are you just going to watch that jinx bully our precious son?"

Elizabeth shot at Quince.

Quince could understand Elizabeth's anger.

After all, he was also full of rage, but Elizabeth made him feel ashamed in front of the public.

Naturally, therefore, he was furious.

"Calm down!" furious, he yelled.

"Calm down? How can I calm down?! Have you seen your son? He was bashed like watermelon, and you're telling me to calm down? How can I calm down?!"

Elizabeth was so angry that she almost broke her teeth from gritting them so hard.Her eyes burned as she glared at Quince.

"Let's take this somewhere else.Get out and follow me!" Quince looked at her coldly.

Elizabeth followed him out of the ward and went to the small conference room next door.

As soon as the door was closed, Quince smashed to Elizabeth the stack of information that Melody gave to him.

"Open your eyes wide and take a good look at what your damn cousin has done.Not only did he get himself caught, but he also dragged your precious son into that quagmire he made.Now, you tell me what to do."

Quince shot back.

Elizabeth was stunned after being scolded.She gripped her hand tightly on the documents after reading the contents.

Elizabeth couldn't help but bite her lip with the bitterness that brewed inside her heart.Her good-for- nothing family was not helping her, and they even caused her a lot of trouble.

How could she be so unlucky? However, the Callahan family's rising feat to get to their current status was no joke.

Finally, Elizabeth calmed herself down and looked up at Quince.

"Let's not talk about this first.Let's talk about Melody's problem.Don't you think that you are being too lenient with that jinx? You're just letting her do whatever she wants.She even dared to hit Charles.Who is she going to hit next time, me?"

Elizabeth swept her family's blunder under the rug.

Quince's cold eyes looked mockingly at Elizabeth.

"You women are shortsighted.The only thing that's making your brains work was spending money on makeup and clothes" he sneered.

"Melody's nothing but a clown on the table.What's important are the people behind her.Zachary had recently contacted a whole group of the business elites that father wanted.Do you think an ignorant person like Melody can find out about these things?" he added.

Elizabeth knew that Quince looked down on her.

However, the image of a noble lady that she had worked hard to manage for so many years meant nothing ultimately in front of Quince.

"So, Atty.Lewis is the person behind her?" Elizabeth reiterated.

Quince scoffed.

His gloomy face had a strange smile, "Not necessarily.I'm still investigating.I have a feeling that there's someone else besides him, with Atty.Lewis's strength, let alone Melody's, finding these things wouldn't have been that easy.Just let her be arrogant for a while.Then, when I find out the people behind her and get rid of them all, I will end everything and throw her back to the countryside: Quince grabbed her chin up with a warning.

"Remember this.Don't make trouble for her.Just take care of your children and don't let them alert our enemies.

After warning Elizabeth, Quince directly opened the door and left the hospital.If not for the fact that Charles was injured, he wouldn't even have stepped inside this wretched building.

Elizabeth looked in the direction where Quince had disappeared.

Her deep eyes narrowed and emitted a sharp light.

"How dare you touch my son, Melody.Just wait.I'll return everything you've done tenfolds!"

Elizabeth cursed through her breath.

The next day, the bell for the first-class rang.Melody slowly stepped into the classroom.

As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes fell on her.Melody's face was cold, and her eyes were blank.She strolled towards her seat, looking lazy and bored.

Lance's disgusted look on his face immediately changed the moment he saw Melody.

His face brightened with a warm smile as if he was a different person.

He stood up and pulled out a chair for Melody.He said to her respectfully, "Boss, please!"

Melody's indifferent face did not change even with Lance's attentiveness.

Lance had already arranged the desk for her.She took the opportunity to sit down and directly lay her head down on the table.

Lance quietly sat back on his.

He didn't want to disturb Melody in her sleep.

She seemed exhausted that she immediately fell asleep as soon as she arrived.

Lance swore in his heart that he'd do everything to ensure that Melody could sleep soundly.

Their first period was initially a language class.

But their language teacher was not around.

So instead, Ms.Watson came in with their aggressive math teacher behind her.She even directly pulled the principal over.

With their principal in tow, the students of Class 8 knew that something big must have happened.

Otherwise, the principal would not have personally come.Ms.Scott locked her eyes on Melody.

A cold smile flashed across her face when she saw her sleeping.

"Principal, look, it's that student.The whole class is studying, and all this student does is sleep every day.How disrespectful!" she scorned.

With Ms.Scott's inciting words, the Principal looked in Melody's direction. He had seen Melody's academic records before, and as he looked at her now, the Principal could agree that getting such high scores would be impossible for her.

There were only two cases that could justify her results.

They were either acquired by luck or through cheating.

In Melody's case, the Principal was dead sure it was the latter.

However, the principal didn't expect that Melody's grades were terrible.But, unfortunately, her character was also wrong.

And it's all too troublesome to keep such a student in the school. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

In addition, the two teachers had insisted that he must personally come to solve the problem of Melody.

Ms.Watson glanced at the principal and asked for instructions.

The principal responded with a serious face, "You are the homeroom teacher of Class 8.You can do it.I can stand by and watch" he said.

Ms.Watson nodded and stood on the podium.She looked at the students of Class 8 with a serious face.

"Students, I regret to inform you that a serious case of cheating had happened in our class during the exams.Although nothing has yet been decided, we are here to inform you of this unfairness and bring justice to the efforts that this cheater had trampled on.But as a heads up, we assure you that we will be imposing a severe punishment on this cheater and put her in place!" she proudly announced.

However, Ms.Scott was dissatisfied with her speech.She couldn't hold back and walked up to the podium, brushing Ms. Watson aside.

"Let me be direct with you.An evil person broke the reputation of our Class 8, which has always been excellent.They openly cheated and violated the rules of the class.It is such an unforgivable act, and we will not hesitate to disclose their atrocity in public, now!" she spoke loudly.

The students of Class 8 immediately caught on to what was going on as soon as she finished speaking.

Based on Ms.Scott's expression, it was obvious who she was referring to.Everyone took a closer look at one girl's sleeping figure.

None of them even dared to guess what would happen next.
