Chapter 13: A Girl Who Doesn&##x27;t Know the Rules

Amid the crowd, a white-haired old man appeared in the garden.The moment the people saw him, their
eyes shone with opportunity, and they rushed towards him.

Reagan shared their excitement.

"Daddy, look! It's Mr.David! He's here!"

"All of you, stay alert and come with me to see Mr.David? Quince said as he faced the other
Sullivans.He already noticed the commotion happening at the other end of the room.He gave everyone
a warning glance.

"Be more careful with your words and actions later.Don't be too arrogant."

"Don't worry, Daddy!" Reagan said as she smiled with pride.

"Charles and I have been with you to banquets countless times.It would be impossible for us to make
mistakes! But some people have to be more careful."

Everyone knew that Reagan said this on purpose, it was deliberately meant for Melody.But no one felt
that it was rude because, in their eyes, Reagan was right.

Melody was a girl who came back from the countryside.She didn't know the rules or proper etiquette
and could easily stir up trouble.

However, Reagan and Charles were Sullivans.

Their family was one of the rich and powerful ones.

Although they were usually dominant and arrogant with their stride, they knew how to act dignified and
polite on important occasions.



Because they already mastered social etiquette from such a young age, this made them completely
superior to Melody.

Quince understood the meaning behind Reagan's words.

Melody had already shown her face to the crowd, and that was enough.

He looked down at Melody, who was sitting quietly at the side with a cold expression as if she wasn't
affected at all.

"Melody, you don't like to talk to people, so just sit here quietly and rest. I'll bring your siblings over, so
you don't have to come!"

Melody acted as if she ignored Quince's notice.

People who didn't know the situation would think that Quince could have talked to somebody else.

Elizabeth saw the cold expression on Melody's face and then felt very uncomfortable by it.She held
Quince's hand and grasped it tightly.

"Let's go! Let's not keep Mr.David waiting for too long!"

Quince hummed in response.He nodded his head slightly and then walked forward with Elizabeth.

Charles followed beside them.

"Melody, did you see that?" Reagan raised her eyebrows at Melody tauntingly and smiled.

"This is what you are to the family, and you'll never be able to take anything out.So what if you were
born as a Sullivan? What good is your fate when we're clearly destined to be different? Do you
understand?"



Melody slowly raised her head to meet Reagan's with a chilling gaze that swept over her .Her thin lips
opened, and she spat out three words.

"Is that so?"

Reagan expected Melody to become flustered, even embarrassed.

If someone else dared to do the same thing to her, Reagan would have already started a fight.But to
Melody, Reagan's words were like nothing.It had no effect at all.

But even though Melody's look was faint, it still made people try to avoid her gaze.It was scary, and it
stirred fears in their hearts.

Reagan couldn't understand what was going on, but she nearly felt her legs give out on her.

Instead, she pretended to be calm and didn't dare look Melody in the eye.

"Just stay here.I don't have time to chat with you.I have to go see a guest with Daddy!"

After saying that, Reagan hiked up her skirt above her ankles and ran away.

Melody watched her as she left and slowly withdrew her gaze.

Reagan was right about one thing, Melody had to admit.

They were born into the same family, but they were bound to be different.

How could her fate be the same as Reagan's? As she thought of it, Melody smiled, but it soon turned
into a frown as she sipped on the flower tea on the table.



It was said that the tea was imported all the way from France, but the taste wasn't as good as the ones
personally picked from her backyard garden.

Melody put the cup down in disgust, but someone from behind her pushed it out of her hands.She
didn't know who accidentally bumped into her.

The cup that was set on the table swayed and hit the ground.The flower tea spilled and then splashed
onto the woman's clothes.

"My dress!" The woman shrieked.
