Chapter 461
Brayden immediately took Olivia into his arms and stared around.
As it was getting dark, screams were heard after a short silence. Some even started running in panic.
Olivia's heart tightened when she heard the sound of chaos around her.
Did Melody do it?
What was she going to do?
Brayden hugged Olivia and whispered, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."
He wouldn't let anything happen to her.
"Okay."
She wasn't afraid.
As soon as Brayden finished speaking, there was a crack in the hall and a beam of light fell.
The commotion in the hall stopped.
Everyone looked at the light, including Olivia and Brayden.
The beam of light hit a man sitting on the sofa in front of them.
He was wearing a black suit with his legs crossed. In the meanwhile, he held a glass of wine in his hand. Everyone panicked in the dark, but he enjoyed it. His indifferent face and deep eyes were like dark hell. When the light hit Everett, he seemed to be the master here. Everyone looked at him.
Preston looked at Everett in the light. Everett was not afraid of the dark, nor was he afraid of the light. Everett held the wine glass all the time, his dark eyes deep.
Preston looked around for Melody.
Who else could make such a fuss besides Melody?
However, there was no other light around except the light that hit Everett.
Everyone was standing in the hall. The darkness had wrapped them up. Preston couldn't find Melody.
Preston frowned.
Melody, what was she going to do?
Olivia, who was held in Brayden's arms, looked at Everett, who was sitting on the sofa without moving or talking.
But her hand holding Brayden's suit tightened.
It seemed that she had not seen Everett so close for a long time. Now that she looked at him this way, she felt that he was very strange.
It was as if this was not the person who married her in the first year.
It was someone else.
And it felt like that night, the night of the nightmare.
She was trampled on by everyone, and he watched coldly as her child left her.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Olivia hated him.
She hated him!
Brayden felt something strange about Olivia. He looked down at her, saw her red and angry eyes. Brayden immediately hugged her, put her head in his arms, and said, "Olivia, don't look at him." He was silent and his heart was pounding.
Olivia gripped his suit tightly, her five fingers trembling with the force of her grip.
She hated this moment.
Why could he treat her like that? He could still sit there and control the fate of many people.
Even hers.
Why?
Brayden felt Olivia's trembling, hugged her and walked out.
She couldn't stay here anymore.
But before he left, Melody's voice rang out around him.
"We met when we were five. You were two years older than me. At that time, I called you brother, and you called me sister."
As Melody spoke, a large screen appeared in the hall with two photos.
One photo was of a girl and the other was of a boy.
The boy was wearing a little suit and the girl was wearing a princess dress, they both looked like a little prince and a little princess respectively.
Soon, the two photos disappeared and a complete picture appeared on the screen. This time, the two of them were together. The girl was sitting on the swing and the boy was standing beside her.
It seemed that the boy was dissatisfied with being photographed and looked at the camera coldly.
The girl smiled happily at the camera.
It goes without saying that everyone here knows who these two people are.
This was Everett and Melody as children.
They didn't have plastic surgery, and people recognized them through the outline and facial features at a glance.
The hall erupted in talk.
"This is... Mr. Weston?"
"Miss Johnson?"
"What's going on?"
Soon, Melody's voice rang again.
"You didn't like to talk when you were young. You were cold and arrogant."
Melody said, smiling as if she had thought of something.
"I was very proud at that time, but when I met you, I put down my pride and stood beside you."
"Until now."
Her voice became serious, and at the end of the sentence, there seemed to be a compromise.
It was a compromise after shedding all Melody's pride.
The people below were quiet.
