"Didn't you accuse me of being someone's mistress? Well, let's just say that I got it from my sugar daddy," said Melody.
She did not bother elaborating. Instead, she just put away her phone and glared at the three people in front of her.
In terms of blood ties, they were the closest people to her in this world. Ironically, they were also the most heartless and malicious toward her.
"The balance check is done. Do you want this three million dollars or not? Are you signing the agreement?"
Helen smiled obsequiously at her. After all, she stood to get three million dollars. "We'll sign, of course."
"All three of you need to personally sign it," said Melody.
Lucas was right—there was a high chance that the Sander family would pull some underhanded stunt again once they had gotten the money.
That was why Melody insisted on getting their signatures. This way, she could use the agreement to fight back against them if they went back on their word.
"Ethan, do we sign?" Helen could make her own decisions, but she could not speak for Ethan. Thus, she needed to quietly wait for his decision.
Ethan frowned at Melody for a while before nodding. "Well, she's not planning to stick around and listen to us anyway, so why hesitate? Just sign it."
With Ethan's approval, the three of them quickly signed the digital agreement on Melody's phone.
Melody then tossed the bank card onto the coffee table. It was at that moment she had completely lost hope in them.
A black car pulled up beside her, and Edmund stepped out, opening the car door for her. "Miss Melody, Mister Lucas asked me to pick you up."
Melody was somewhat surprised to see him there, but she did not press for details. She nodded at him and got into the car.
"Miss Melody, Mister Lucas asked me to give you this." Edmund handed her a box after he got into the car too.
'Lucas gave me this box?' Melody accepted the box and opened it to find a beautifully crafted dress inside.
"Lucas gave me a dress? Is there an occasion he needs me to attend?"
