Chapter 342 The Annoying Melinda

Melinda said she didn't hear her phone ring. Then she turned her head and continued to stare at Marcus with burning eyes.

Marcus's face darkened. Then he tugged at his tie.

Sometimes, he really wanted to hit those who annoyed him even though they are women.

"Hello, you are Jane's friend, right?"

Katherine's voice sounded clear and nice. Because she had studied ballet and folk dance since she was a child, she had a good temperament and was the kind of person who could make people take a liking to her at first glance in a crowd.

Jane was delighted to introduce her good friend Nancy to her sister.

Katherine bowed slightly. She looked at Nancy with a gentle smile on her face.

"I'm Jane's sister, Katherine. Jane told me a lot about you. It's nice to meet you, Nancy."

Katherine greeted Nancy in a mature manner. Then, she extended her slender hand to Nancy. In this way, she wouldn't appear too enthusiastic or let others think that she had neglected the kid.

Nancy smiled as she reached out and shook her hand.

"Hello, Katherine."

However, Melinda, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but be angry when she saw how well they were getting along. And she couldn't even hide the jealous look in her eyes.

"About what I said..."

"Get out!"

At this point, Marcus looked grim. He had a fierce and cold look in his eyes.

Melinda was so frightened that her face turned pale. Then she took a few quick steps back and never dared to approach Marcus again, but she was still unwilling to give up.

Katherine noticed that it seemed to be a bit awkward between Marcus and Melinda. And Melinda's words and behaviors left Katherine speechless.

How could Melinda be so confident in herself? How could ordinary people like them be worthy of Marcus?

Katherine even wanted to roll her eyes at Melinda.

"Sorry to bother you. I'm about to take Jane home."

Nancy stood beside Marcus to block Melinda from getting close again and glared at her.

Melinda was so annoying that she even angered Marcus.

Upon hearing Katherine's words, Nancy blinked and said, "But Jane said she wanted to come over to my house and play with me."

Jane quickly said, "Nancy, I'll come to your house next time. Now I'm going back to accompany my sister."

Then Nancy nodded and said, "Alright."

"No... How can you not keep your word?"

Melinda was so anxious that she quickly grabbed Jane's hand. She said, "Jane, don't you want to hang out with your friend? I'll go with you!"

No! If Jane didn't go to Nancy's home, she would also have no reason to be there.

Jane looked miserable. "Let go of me! You're hurting me!"

"Melinda!"

Katherine's face changed. Then she slapped Melinda hard on the back of her hand. With a loud slap, Melinda cried out in pain and shook Jane's hand away.

"What the hell are you doing? Katherine, are you looking for death?"

Katherine took Jane's hand and noticed that the red marks on Jane's wrist were particularly obvious. The child's skin was very tender, and Melinda had just pulled Jane's wrist with great force. Moreover, her nails were so long that she scratched the skin on the back of Jane's hand.

Katherine's face turned red with anger. "What the hell do you want to do? Melinda, are you so eager for a man? Why do you want to approach any handsome and rich man you have ever met? Don't you see that Marcus dislike you? How can you be so shameless!"

"How... Katherine, how dare you talk to me like that!"

Katherine rolled her eyes at Melinda. "Well, why wouldn't I? Don't pressure me with your father. That's right. Your family is richer than mine, but our family hasn't taken a penny from your family. So my family doesn't have to grovel in front of your family for a living. And the reason why my family put up with you is that my grandparents are biased toward your family. And my father is worried about my grandparents' health, so we never bother to argue with you. But, don't go too far!"

"How dare you..."

"Stop it! Have I ever eaten your family's food? I can put up with you acting pretentious in front of me. But I'll never let you bully Jane!"

Jane wrapped her arms around Katherine's waist. Her eyes were red as she grunted at Melinda.

Melinda was so angry that her face contorted. "How ungrateful you are! I even took Jane to enroll in school today. How can you talk to me like that?"

Katherine sneered. "Oh, come on! Do you really think I have no idea what you are up to? This school is a well-known aristocratic academy. Almost all the people who come are parents with children, but you're actually trying to hit on a rich man here! Shame on you!

After that, she gave Marcus a sympathetic look.

How could he be so unlucky to have met Melinda here?

It was probably because he didn't check his horoscope when he left home today.

"When I found out that you were the one who took Jane to enroll in school, I immediately closed my store and came to school. Do you dare say you really want to keep Jane company? I was afraid you'd lost her."

Nancy's eyes lit up when she saw how tough Jane's sister looked.

Melinda was so furious that she shivered. Then, she couldn't help but scream, "Katherine, you bitch!"

It was Katherine's fault that her image had been ruined in front of Marcus!

With red eyes and a fierce expression, she lifted her handbag and was about to smash it at Katherine.

No one would expect Melinda to hit Katherine suddenly. Katherine pulled her sister to dodge, but she was still hit on the forehead by some cosmetics spilled from the handbag. At this point, her forehead looked a little red and swollen.

"Katherine!"

As Melinda tried to raise her hand to hit Katherine, Marcus grabbed her wrist and shook it off.

Then she stumbled so much that she fell to the floor, her hair in disarray.

Marcus gave a disgusted look to the palm of his hand that had just touched Melinda's wrist.

Seeing this, Nancy read his mind. Then she took out a clean handkerchief from her small school bag.

"Marcus, take it, and wipe your hands."

Then Marcus took over the handkerchief and carefully wiped his fingers.

Katherine put her hand on her forehead and thanked Marcus immediately . And then she glared at Melinda.

"You're crazy!"

"Huh... Am I crazy? Katherine, stop acting so righteous! You're trying to seduce this man with tricks!"

Melinda said as she pointed her finger at Marcus.

Marcus and Katherine frowned at the same time. Marcus had a look of disgust in his eyes, while Katherine had a look of disbelief.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"Why do you always imagine everyone else to be as nasty as you are?"

"Am I nasty?"

Melinda stared at Katherine with a look of jealousy and hatred and said, "I just want to have a better life. Am I wrong?"

Katherine stared blankly at Melinda. "There is nothing wrong about you wanting to live a better life."

Melinda looked at Katherine with hatred and thought, 'She's such a hypocrite! Why is she still pretending to be nice?'

Katherine looked at her and said seriously, "But at least you have to remain chaste. Everyone wants to live a good life. Since you want to marry rich people, at the very least, you have to make yourself worthy of those people. Instead of hooking up with those men, you might as well make yourself better. And you're only making people think you're cheap by doing that now.

Those young heirs from powerful families have seen all kinds of beautiful girls. While you are showing off the designer bags and jewelry they bought for you, they may also be making fun of you with their friends in a teasing tone. You are just a clown in their eyes."

Melinda's face became even paler as Katherine's words seemed to hit the nail on the head.
