CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 148: HE’S PRETTY PITIFUL TOO

Timmy raised an eyebrow, "If you have the guts, sit on her lap."

Melody Thorne didn’t notice the smoke and fire between father and son, she was only focused on the matters outside,

"Melody Thorne!" Ivy turned her head and saw her, and through the car window, she saw the tall figure inside—Jared Quinn.

Why didn’t he come? Why didn’t he come to help the Adler Family?

He must have been seduced by that woman.

"Jared, Jared!" Ivy frantically chased after the car,

"Drive slower," Melody Thorne said calmly,

The driver slowed the car down a bit.

"Slower."

"Yes."

"Slower."

Driver: "... Ma’am, how slow do you want it? The car is already quite slow."

"Do you see that woman behind us? Let her catch up, but don’t stop—make her keep running after us."

Driver: "..."

The car slowed down again and again. The running woman behind felt delighted as the car ahead went slower and slower. She knew it, she knew Jared would not abandon her because of that matter.

"Jared, Jared!" Ivy caught up, pounding on the rear of the car,

The driver sped up a bit, as Melody Thorne had instructed that Ivy could only touch the rear, never the windows.

Ivy was flung aside repeatedly, only to chase after them again, screaming and pounding.

Melody Thorne supported her chin with one hand, observing the reaction of the man beside her.

Jared Quinn’s overly stern face showed no expression, not a hint of fluctuation, as cold as possible. It was just like his demeanor the day she died in her past life—as if human lives meant nothing to him.

Seeing him treat Ivy that way now, Melody Thorne finally felt a slight sense of satisfaction in her heart,

In her past life, Ivy had naturally risen to stardom, thanks to her family’s status and Director Irving, often appearing by Jared Quinn’s side at various banquets. Everyone thought they were meant to be.

Eventually, Ivy even became Timmy’s stepmother.

The Adler Family’s company is gone, Caleb won’t help her, and soon she will lose her family, her status as the Adler family’s daughter, and will definitely not be able to become a star in Director Irving’s movies.

This way, she, Timmy, and the Quinn Family would have nothing to do with each other,

The events of the past would naturally not repeat,

"I thought you would stop the car to help her," Melody Thorne said,

"Do you want me to help her?" Jared Quinn’s deep eyes reflected her sly look at this moment, a look that was both lovable and hateful.

"Drive faster," Melody Thorne dodged his question and commanded the driver.

"Yes," the driver accelerated, leaving the woman behind in a cloud of exhaust fumes.

"Melody Thorne, I will never let you off!" Ivy shouted angrily.

Melody Thorne pressed the shutter button on her phone.

When the car stopped, Melody Thorne realized they hadn’t gone back to the Quinn Family, but to the Quinn Group.

"Just stay here for now today, we’ll go back tonight," Jared Quinn expressionlessly stated.

"Why?" Melody Thorne retorted angrily, "You’re going back to your company, Timmy and I are going back to the villa."

"Yeah, yeah," Timmy nodded repeatedly, "We want to go back to the villa."

Jared Quinn glanced over, "Do you want to add a couple more subjects to your curriculum?"

Timmy shrank his neck, highly unwilling, then turned to pull on Melody Thorne’s clothes, "Melody, how about we keep Dad company for a while? He’s quite pitiful here by himself."

Melody Thorne: "..."
