Reborn To Remarry My Ex Husband (Melody and Edward) novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404 The Prizes
The people of Cheshingire had no way to reclaim what belonged to their country. They could only watch as it remained out of their reach.

What would tonight reveal?

The audience in Cleussau murmured among themselves, their curiosity bubbling over.

"Wow, this is different from the usual! Two boxes? What treasures are hidden inside, ones we've lost to other countries?"

"I don't trust Gregoria. Something about these boxes doesn't sit right with me. They may look like prizes, but I'm sure there's something more to this."

"Melody is incredible. She took down the Gregoria contender without breaking a sweat. That was something."

"Doesn't anyone else think there's more to Melody's win? She's from Pharma821, after all. And look at the crowd—it's so quiet. There are probably some big names from Cleussau hiding out there."

"We've never allowed outsiders to cause trouble on our turf."

"Shh! Looks like the higher-ups have gotten involved…"

"So, Melody's got backing from the government?"

"Well, that makes her a true daughter of our country."

On stage, Gary, though wounded, stood at the edge, watching Melody with a sense of pride.

He felt nothing but joy and pride that she had achieved such honor for their nation.

He would never forget.

There was a time when he'd stood just as tall in the boxing ring, victorious, head held high, basking in the cheers and the spotlight.

Back then, he never realized that Melody was always there, quietly supporting him, cheering him on through every victory and setback, while the Shields team overlooked her.

But he hadn't seen her.

Now, the tables had turned.

It was Melody, standing in the spotlight, and Gary could no longer be the one in her shadow.

But he would continue to stand by her.

It was a calculated move to pressure her into abandoning the Codex.

For the Gregorians, it was a poor trade, a deal where they would lose in the long run.

But even at a loss, they wanted to make an example of Melody. They intended to turn her into a target for everyone's disdain.

Melody, however, was unfazed. She ignored Drooby's dramatics and approached the boxes with resolve.

She opened both with a quick motion.

The first box contained exactly what she expected—the Veinspire Codex.

She held it in her hands for a moment, allowing herself a brief glance at the pages before she began flipping through it, clearly uninterested in the next prize.

Drooby's expression shifted. He moved closer, his voice cutting through the air.

"Melody, it's time to open the other prize," he said, his tone firm.
