His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 27: Do You Hate Them? 

Sarah pulled Melody to the room where their grandfather's memorial was placed.Not only was Alistair's memorial preserved there, but so were many of their predecessors' shrines.

Melody stood at the side and looked indifferently at Sarah who had lit an incense stick in front of her.

Melody couldn't seem to see past Sarah's facade. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

It should be apparent to her that Sarah, the family's least favorite daughter, harbored anger or even hate against them.

However, she failed to recognize this in her.

As soon as Sarah finished burning the incense, she turned around and stared at Melody with her eyes wide open.

Her serene eyes had a glint of a smile to them, which put others at ease.

"Sometimes, Melody, I envy you!" Melody raised her head slowly.

Her gaze was uninterested and distant and her large eyes were empty of any sign of affection, "What makes you so jealous of me? Are you envious of the fact that I am the family's jinx?"

Sarah was taken aback by Melody's remark and took a long time to respond.Then, unlike the other Sullivan's, she didn't become enraged by Melody's attitude and stopped speaking to her.

"Don't talk about yourself like that, Melody.You are the second daughter, and you are not a jinx.Yes, I am envious of you.In the countryside, you live a happy life.We are a large family, there is a lot of intrigue going around.And not everyone desires a life like that.Your life might have been considerably worse if you hadn't been sent to the countryside back then."

Melody looked at Sarah silently.She didn't anticipate that her words would be similar to their grandfather's.

When Alistair came looking for her back then, he persuaded Melody that the best thing for her was to be sent away.Melody looked at her sister from head to toe.

Her eyes appeared to have lost their coldness.

"Don't you despise them? Do you hate them?" Melody asked her.

Sarah was stunned by her question.

After pondering for a few seconds, she smiled bitterly, "No matter what, they remain my family."

Melody felt silly after hearing her response.

Was Sarah convinced that those people were her family? Did they consider her to be a member of their family? Sarah, taken aback by Melody's disregard, added abruptly, "They're also members of your family.Perhaps they genuinely love you.Remember what you did today? You weren't harshly punished by our father.Isn't that a sign that they value you also?"

Melody gave Sarah an incredulous look and shouted, "That's childish!"

After she said that, Melody waved her hand at Sarah and signaled that she was going to leave.

Sarah hurriedly followed her as soon as she saw her leaving.She followed Melody to Alistair's study room.

This was their grandfather's most mysterious place in Sullivan's I household.

Without Alistair's instructions, even their father, Quince could not enter the room.

Even the study's door was tightly encrypted, making it difficult for anyone to gain access.

Sarah had no idea what Melody intended to do.She was about to stop her when she discovered the hole in the study door.

"Pa-da!"

The door was unlocked after a few clicks.

Sarah was surprised.She wasn't expecting Melody to know the password.

The lock on the study door to the study needs to be locked by the iris on the pupil.

Previously, only the old man had an iris film.

This was the first time she had seen someone other than her grandfather open that door in her many years of living in the Sullivan house.

"Wait, Melody, how did you get the password to this room? Did grandpa arrange this for you?"
