Chapter 75
Melanie’s heart raced and her face burned as she recalled that long kiss she had with Roderick back in the day in the car.
After calming down, she immediately warned herself, “Stop it, Melanie. Enought Why didn’t you say no when he kissed you today?
“Melanie, you’ve become depraved. How on earth can you go insane from his kiss? How can you think about it even now?”
Melanie felt perplexed as she paced around in the office talking to herself.
She looked around, desperate for something cold, but all she could find was a cup of cold water.
She drank it up and calmed down, not caring that her period was coming soon.
During the day, she would frequently stand in front of the window and gaze out at the distant Steve’s Art Gallery on Springerglow Avenue. She wondered if she could see that sign if she looked at it at night.
Thinking of this, Melanie walked to the window and looked at Springerglow Avenue in the dark.
Indeed, Steve’s Art Gallery looked even clearer and more stunning at night than it did during the day.
The words “Steve’s Art Gallery” were glowing white, like the moon hanging in the sky.
These three words were designed by her mother alone.
Melanie felt sad thinking about her mother, but she could think more straight
now.
“Melanie, look at you. Have you done anything since you got here? Have you forgotten the reason for your coming to Zerivia?” she talked to herself again.
“Melanie, remember that you didn’t come to Zerivia for love or romance. You

to get Mom’s justice and exact revenge on that jerk, your father!”
Thinking of that scumbag father, Melanie felt gloomy again.
She couldn’t believe that Steve Robertson was really her biological father.
What kind of father would collaborate with others to repeatedly harm his own. daughter?
Why?
If he hated her so much, why did he let her be born in the first place and act like a loving father for the past 18 years?
Was it merely a ploy to sell her when he needed it?
Should Darrin’s investigation’s findings be true, Steve was a liar from the beginning to the end. How could a clever person like her mother be blind to his deceit and even fall in love with him, marry him, and give birth to her?
Melanie felt hatred well up inside at the thought.
She exclaimed inwardly, ‘Wait and see, Steve!
‘I will find out the truth about my mother’s early death and make sin, you scumbag!‘

When she was about to go back to bed, she glanced at the small square downstairs, and her heart pounded wildly.
Three black cars were parked in line in the small square in front of Rising Star.
A tall figure was leaning against the door of the car in the middle.
“Roderick?!” Melanie cried out in surprise. Why was he here?
She blinked in disbelief and took a closer look.
That was him, indeed.
He always appeared with three opulent cars, the middle one carrying him and the other two occupied by his bodyguards.
Melanie recognized them at a glance.
Like a leaning pine, Roderick’s towering figure was leaning against the car door. showcasing his exceptional and noble physique that set him apart from other men.
It was him.
What was he doing here at this late hour?!
Melanie stared at the figure downstairs in a daze, while Roderick seemed to have sensed it and looked up.
Melanie was so startled that she turned around and ran to the bedroom. She noticed that her phone was set aside motionless, with a dark screen.
After giving it some thought, Melanie turned on her phone and saw multiple missed calls and messages
[Mela, I miss you so much,] one message stated.
[Mela, I have nowhere to go now that you’re not home.]
[Mela, I want to hear your voice.]
These blatant messages struck Melanie like electric shocks.
‘Shame on you, rascal!‘ Melanie cursed inwardly as she ran to the window.
As expected, Roderick remained motionless as he leaned against the middle of the three opulent cars that were still parked there.
“What is this madman doing here at midnight?” Melanie was so irritated.
Who on earth said that Roderick was not interested in women?
This was definitely the way wealthy men pursued women.
Melanie pondered the number of women he had been waiting for downstairs at midnight before he became so adept, not to mention all those sweet messages.
Where the hell did he learn all this from?!
It wasn’t like he hadn’t been with a woman before.
What did he mean by “I have nowhere to go now that you’re not home?”
Was he showing off his literary prowess?
‘I don’t think he doesn’t have a place to sleep since the Lambert family has so

many houses.
‘Well, just stand here as long as you want.
‘I don’t give a damn about you!‘ Melanie thought angrily as she paced around the office.
After a while, Roderick went to the window and saw that he was still standing there.
Roderick was still standing when she checked after a while.
She was unsure if he could actually see her from a distance. He would glance up at her each time she approached the window.
Melanie could almost hear his chuckle.
What was wrong with him? This couldn’t go on.
If he waited outside all night, would he be okay? Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Melanie felt a little irritated when she realized that she started to become concerned about him.
But immediately, she convinced herself that she wasn’t worried about him.
She just thought that the reporters would spot him if he stayed outside all night because the Rising Star spring auction was still going on.
Yes, that was why she didn’t want him to stand outside all night.
‘Alas! No, I’d better call him and send him away!‘ Thinking of this, Melanie dialed Roderick’s number.
As soon as the phone rang, the figure in black shadow downstairs moved and answered, “Hey, Mela.”
Melanie ignored the whine in his voice and said stiffly, “What are you doing downstairs? Go home!”
“Heh, you start to care about me,” he chuckled with a cheesy smile.
Melanie sensed that she had encountered a failure of imagination.
She couldn’t imagine that this indifferent and noble man would say something like
that, which gave her
