CHAPTER 153: CHAPTER 153: EXCHANGE

"Why aren’t you asleep?" Jared Quinn opened his slender, phoenix-like eyes,

"Did you have someone follow me?" Melody Thorne walked in and slapped her hands on the man’s desk.

Jared Quinn stared at her intently. He indeed had someone follow her, and from the very first day she married into the Quinn Family, he had ordered it. At that time, her eyes looked so innocent, which led him to give such an order,

The purpose of those people was to protect her. Otherwise, with her previous personality, how could she have survived until today?

"Calm down, don’t make a fuss." His large hand pulled her into his embrace. "You can pretend they don’t exist; they won’t appear in front of you."

"And then all of my privacy will be completely exposed to you?" Melody never expected that Jared would truly have someone follow her.

That didn’t seem to happen in the last lifetime.

Jared’s face was buried in her neck, inhaling the faint fragrance of her skin. He originally intended to leave her alone, but this woman was inadvertently provoking him, appearing in his room in the middle of the night.

"I know it’s not bad for you." His breath grew heavier as his lips and tongue lightly nibbled on her ear.

She was his wife, so naturally, he wanted to know everything.

Melody’s body shrank a little, and she quickly covered herself with one hand. "You’re shameless."

Jared chuckled softly, his large hands tightened around her, dropping kisses all over the back of her neck. "Didn’t you come into a man’s room in the middle of the night wanting me to be shameless towards you?"

Is he implying that she’s pretending? Playing hard to get?

"A man who forces a woman is nothing but a beast!"

"Beast," he kindly corrected her.

Melody was furious. There’s no reasoning with a man in heat.

Her head slammed back viciously, and at the same time, she stomped her foot down.

Jared’s arm loosened, and she took the opportunity to escape from his grasp, glaring fiercely at the man behind her, one hand covering the back of her head. "Sooner or later, I will get the freedom I want!"

Her figure disappeared through the door, Jared’s scarlet lips curled with a wicked, cold smile, two streaks of blood trickling from his nostrils, making him look very much like a ruthless demon king.

Freedom, is that possible?

Melody took out her computer and opened up a chat with Caleb. Her message was brief and bold: "I want the Thorne Family’s lost shares, I’ll exchange them with witnesses. Consider it, and give me your answer as soon as possible; won’t wait beyond that."

The arrogance in her tone was palpable, making the slightly sickly-looking man by the window chuckle lowly. "What you want to do, I will fully support."

Including the freedom she wanted, paving her way to leave the Quinn Family.

Thinking of Jared, Caleb’s eyes turned cold. He was a very formidable opponent, and there was an unknown layer to his identity that no one could uncover. This person was too deep to fathom!

Melody shut the computer, lay down, and hugged her young child to sleep.

...

New film set.

After several days of intense discussion among investors, Director Irving’s new film changed from a youth drama to a period movie "Willow Bright."

It was inspired by the content from the last audition, with the scriptwriters quickly producing the initial script. The female lead was Willow Bright, with the entire plot being significantly revamped.

"Uncle Irving," Ivy’s face was very unpleasant. In the script, Jade Day’s role was minimal. Although she was considered the second female lead, she was a seductive vixen. "Do you want me to play Willow Bright’s role now?"

But the lines in her hand were those of Jade Day’s part.

Director Irving glanced at her. A major upheaval had occurred in the Adler Family, leading to the withdrawal of all their investment,
