Chapter 402
Seeing Melody's hesitation, Lorenzo mocked, "Why? Are you worried about your little lover?"
Although Melody was different from Felix's subordinates, her life was in his hands. She should know better than anyone what the consequences of resisting would be.
Moreover, the news of Kenneth breaking off the engagement had made her a laughingstock, and it spread like wildfire. Although Felix was far away, he had also learned about this. Therefore, Lorenzo had arranged a mission for Melody under Felix's orders. "You know his temper. You can only do this well. Otherwise, you know what will happen, right? Or do I have to remind you?"
"I know." Melody took a deep breath and asked, "So, what are you looking for? Tell me."
Lorenzo showed a picture to Melody. The picture showed a dark blue box. It looked ordinary at first glance. There was nothing special about it. Melody had no idea and asked, "What is this?" Although clueless, Melody knew it must be a special item. Lorenzo put the picture away. He looked at Melody and forced a smile, but the scar on his face made him look terrifying. "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. It's not good for you to know too much."
He gave her a warning. But Melody's face remained calm. "Got it. I'll do it as soon as possible."
Afterward, Melody left the SUV and entered her Cayenne. With a roar, her Cayenne drove into the distance.
Lorenzo's partner looked infatuated. Only when the car completely disappeared did he slap his thigh and say, "Shit, I forgot to ask her phone number!" To avoid being exposed, all their communication was done through an encrypted intercom. They only used it when necessary.
Lorenzo lit another cigarette and snorted. "Forget it. She doesn't like you." He knew her ambition beat her need for love.
Meanwhile, Melody drove away. As the slightly cold night wind blew, her muddled mind gradually became clear. Melody frowned and gripped the steering wheel tightly. She did not expect Felix to give her such a mission.
After confirming that the box was in the Harper family's possession, she was curious what would Felix do. 'Are they planning to take it openly or snatch it?'
No matter what, Melody knew this matter was huge. But once Kenneth discovered that she was the one behind it, at least she could get her revenge.
Melody gritted her teeth and recalled the engagement banquet that day. Kenneth broke off the engagement in public. Her hesitation was gone. 'Kenneth, since you were the one who broke my heart, then don't blame me for being heartless!'
Melody drove all the way back to the small manor where she stayed. Her father, Charlie, was quite heartless. He made Melody stayed there alone to reflect on her mistakes and fend for herself. She had been living alone for days, but Thalia did not even pay her a visit.
If she had known that the Obedience Poison was useless, she would have asked Felix to give her the Death Poison. This way, Charlie and Thalia's lives would be in her hands, and she could do whatever she wanted.
However, she took a wrong step and it lead to many mistakes. Melody was filled with disappointment.
Fortunately, Charlie had always been generous in terms of material resources. The pocket money he gave her was massive. Even when Melody said she needed a car, Charlie asked someone to bring a Cayenne worth millions of dollars over. Hence, although being kicked out of her family was contrary to her original plan, Melody felt she gained a lot in return. Morepver, it was much more convenient for her to do whatever she wanted. And one day, she would claw her way back to Thu, Nov 7
the Kelley family and take back everything they owed her.

At the same time, after Jeremy bid farewell to Tiffany, he quickly left and rushed towards a small path. Under the moonlight, he could hear the sound of crickets and other insects.
Jeremy suddenly stopped. Five meters from him, six men in uniform knelt down on one knee and gave him an Azure Sea Royal Family noble salute.
"Sir." They greeted in unison and in respectful manner.
The evening breeze blew, and the treetops by the roadside swayed gently. Under the moonlight, Jeremy's shadow lengthened. He quietly looked at the men who came to pick him up. After a while, he said indifferently, "Get up." The six men stood up. Then, the leader said, "Sir, should we set off now or...?"
"Let's go." Jeremy's voice was clear.
As the Prince of Azure Sea Royal Family, he had been assigned a mission since he was born. He had to protect the princess of the royal family for the rest of his life. Unfortunately, the princess had disappeared for years, and he had searched for her to every corners of the world. But the result had been disappointing.
Jeremy turned around and looked at the road they had come from. It was in the direction of the Kelley Family's villa. The mission he had carried with him had to be completed, because this was the entire meaning of his existence in this world.
However, when Jeremy thought of Tiffany and how he said that he was leaving, the light in the girl's eyes instantly dimmed. He felt that her heart was empty. Therefore, he wanted to find the princess as soon as possible. After everything in the royal family was settled, he might have a chance to stand before Tiffany again.
At that time, no matter how she took off his mask, no matter how curious she was about his appearance. He could satisfy all of them. At the thought of this, Jeremy looked determined.
When Jeremy turned around, his face had returned to its usual calmness and indifference. "Let's go."
"Yes, Sir!" The people behind him nodded and immediately followed respectfully.
Coincidentally, after they got into the car, not far ahead, an unlicensed Cayenne turned into the road and drove in the opposite direction. Jeremy looked up and saw Melody sitting in the Cayenne. He frowned. Since Melody had been chased out of her family, her dream of becoming their heir was shattered. Jeremy felt she would not be a future threat to Tiffany. Hence, he retracted his gaze and calmed down.
A subordinate noticed Jeremy's slight distress and asked, "Sir, is there a problem with that car? Do you want me to investigate?"
"No need." Jeremy shook his head. Such a woman whose schemes had failed would not probably achieve much. Perhaps there was such a coincidence. After losing an opportunity, everything that followed would be like a flash flood, unstoppable and destructive. Melody, who drove over, also sensed Jeremy's sharp gaze. She looked back through the rearview mirror. But except her, no one on the quiet street. Only the fallen leaves stirred up by the wind and the street lamps elongated by moonlight. There was nothing else. Melody continued driving toward the Haper Family Manor.

Kenneth did not sleep at that time. To be precise, he had been unable to sleep for a while. All he could think about was what had happened recently.

Kenneth had missed someone who could never return. That person had already committed a crime that could never be redeemed. Every passing second, day and night, was like torture for him. His heart was unwilling.
He even had an impulse. 'Didn't Grandpa say the treasure box could spy on someone's past? The last time I used it was too short and too shocking. I haven't seen all of my memories. But what about the future? Will I be able to talk with Tiffany again?' Kenneth grew impatient. He clenched his fists as the voices in his head grew louder.
At that moment, a servant came to report, "Sir, Miss Melody is looking f
