His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 216: Dates Before Mates  

Seth and Melody exited the restaurant and were about to get in the car.

But Axel and Iven chased after them.

Hearing the frantic footsteps, Seth and Melody’s attentions were piqued and they turned around at the same time.

The pair of boys halted in their tracks out of fright.

They were rooted to the ground, smiling awkwardly.

Melody just looked at the two of them without saying anything.

Anyway, she had Seth with her.

Wouldn't it be better to let him handle this? Axel sneakily tugged Iven's sleeve, signaling him to speak.

Iven didn't play along at all and loudly scolded him, "Fuck, you brat! You want to know the gossip about your brother-in-law so I accompanied you.Is that not enough? What else do you want?"

Iven's tone was filled with righteousness as if he was doing Axel a great favor.

Axel's eyes dulled as he looked at Iven.He was cursing in his heart.He should've gotten used to it by now.

However, he didn't expect to be fooled by Iven again.

They hadn't met each other for a few years.

Now that they had met again, Iven had just gotten even more shameless.

Axel was already fooled twice today.

Unfortunately, Axel found it hard to come up with words to say so he could only grit his teeth until it felt like breaking and he swallowed his anger as well.

Seth didn't have time to waste watching two monkeys playing around.

After all, Melody was tired and wanted to go back to sleep.

The car door opened and the two of them immediately got in.

Just as they got in, the pair of boys bolted to the car like arrows and entered the car one after the other.

Iven didn’t even have to think as he directly snatched the co-pilot seat.

It made Axel curious.

Why was lven unwilling to take a seat in the back row? Melody leaned against the car door and lazily watched the two boys.

"You two, if you badly want to know about it, why don't you check it yourself?"

Melody thought that the Adams and Laurier family had strength.

It was impossible that they would be unable to find out about it.

Axel laughed happily, Axel raised his foot and laughed happily, "Right, we could go investigate by ourselves! But it's faster if you tell us."

"But how did you know about this? Did Seth investigate it?"

Seth's eyes fell on Melody.He also wanted to know. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

After all, Jeremy was well-known for being cautious.

He was famous for his meticulous work in the business circle.

How could he not know that the son wasn't his own? Just by this fact alone, it could be seen how brilliant his mistress was.

Having said that, how did Melody know about it? Axel and Iven might be unable to tell Seth's exact thoughts, they could still see in Seth's expression that this matter had nothing to do with him.

The three of them looked at each other and then they looked at Melody.

Iven couldn't help but say, "Melody, please treat this as charity and tell us about it."

Melody was also helpless.

She raised her eyebrows and looked at them with disdain, "Can't you see that Jeremy and Jack don't look anything similar at all?"

It was common sense for Melody.

When she saw Jeremy for the first time, she thought that he did not have any physical similarities with Jack at all, especially in the important features.

For example, Jeremy had a big nose but Jack had a small nose.

Jeremy had big earlobes, but Jack didn't.

Those were all dominant hereditary traits.

It wasn't always the case, but it puzzled Melody.

After all, for dominant genes, there was barely any probability that such features wouldn't be inherited.

With that in mind, she asked Johnson to investigate Jack's birth.

When she got the report, she didn’t expect that she could really find out something.

"I asked someone to take some of Jack's blood during his surgery and compared it with Jeremy’s.In the end, you all know what's next!"

Axel and Iven clapped, feeling excited from Melody’s words.

"Melody, you're so awesome.You're so incredible!"

Seth didn't say anything and merely looked at Melody with smiling eyes.

‘My little girl is so awesome"

He slowly raised his head and looked ahead.

Austin felt a familiar sense of oppression pressing against him strongly.

Naturally, it was from Seth.

Austin quickly understood what Seth wanted to do and parked the car to the side and then unlocked the car door.

Iven was incredulous.

His eyes widened in horror as he looked at Seth.

"No way, Seth! We can't even hail a cab here.And it's so cold at night..."

He hadn't finished rattling his complaint yet when he was cut off by Seth's cold glare.

His glare made Iven shiver from the cold.

Even the temperature outside wasn't as cold as Seth's glare.

He quickly reacted and climbed out of the car as fast as he could.

Axel was a little slow, a confused expression across his face.

Before he knew it, Seth kicked him out of the car.

The moment they were out of the car, Austin quickly locked the door.

The black Bentley left in the night.

Axel clutched his aching thigh and grimaced in pain.

He cursed in the direction where the car had left, "No way.Why is Seth valuing his woman over his mates? Are we still his brothers? He abandoned us just like this?"

lven condescendingly looked at Axel as if he knew better, "Is this the first time you've seen this? If it wasn’t for Melody, we wouldn't even have the chance to sit in the car!"

Hearing Iven's explanation, Axel instantly understood.

lven knew such an important thing! Yet Iven still pushed him to sit in the back seat and take the brunt of Seth's anger.

‘This crazy jerk! Where did he learn those schemes?’ He also wanted to learn! In the hospital...

From the restaurant, Jasper rushed to the ward with his wife overnight.

Seeing the pair enter the room, Jeremy immediately stood up and rushed to his eldest son's child.

"Jasper, how is it? What did President Harrison say?"

Jasper looked at his father with a livid face.

Back then, his father was wise and mighty.

He even thought that his father was very capable and nothing could pull him down.

Now...

He was like a stupid chicken, panicking and cowering in front of a disaster.

"What do you think could I do about it?"

He cold replied without bothering to act polite.

"It's not like you haven't heard of Seth's temper.He's the famous cold king of hell in the business world!"

Jeremy's face was sullen, his face full of helplessness and frustration.

Mrs.Wyne, who was by the side, sarcastically commented with an expression full of disdain.

She sneered, "It wasn't me who thought that marrying a woman with just a pretty face was good enough.In important times like this, isn't it still useless?"

Mrs.Wyne was dissatisfied when her son married his wife.

In her opinion, Jasper, as the eldest son of the main family, had a higher chance of inheriting the assets of the Wyne family.

If only he married a woman with a strong background, they could have formed a strong alliance.

When Jeremy died later on, would there still be a place for her and her son? Every time Mrs.Wyne encountered an opportunity, she would never let it go.

This time was not an exception.

Jasper's wife looked very embarrassed.

If she was not raised in a prestigious family and did not grow up with proper etiquette engraved on her bones, she would've made a move a long time ago.

Jasper knew that his wife was aggrieved so he glared at Mrs.Wyne.

His expression had both anger and dissatisfaction.

Mrs.Wyne did not back down and responded with exaggerated acting.

She pretended to be flustered, patting her chest as she looked at Jeremy with a face full of fear.

"Look, Jeremy! Look at your son, he looks like he wants to beat me up! I'm scared!"
