Melody was furious as she walked up the stairway to the third floor.
The bodyguards followed behind her.
Several bodyguards in suits halted her at the stairway and told her coldly to leave.
“Miss Hernandez, please stop right there. We have strict orders from Mr. Simmons himself. No one goes into the third floor except him.
Please go back now.”
“I will be his wife soon. How dare you try to stop me?”
Melody frowned at him and tried to push past the bodyguard. But he stood his ground and didn’t let her pass.
“I’m sorry, Miss Hernandez. Mr. Simmons has instructed us that no one is allowed to go to this floor without his permission. You can’t go either. Please understand that we are just doing our job.”
“I don’t care about that. I want to go in now. I’m going to see who would stop me!”
Enraged, Melody signaled her own bodyguards. They immediately understood and charged ahead to attack the Simmons family’s bodyguards. A chaotic brawl broke out, with both sides fiercely fighting to gain the upper hand.
But despite their efforts, Melody’s bodyguards were no match for the quick and skillful guards on the third floor.
“What’s the deal? Weren’t those supposed to be famous martial arts masters? And yet, you can’t even handle a group of bodyguards?”
Melody’s eyes narrowed as she glared at Galen in disdain.
Galen shifted uncomfortably.
“I swear to God, Miss Hernandez, these guys can really fight. But the people Mr. Simmons hired are not weak either. They’re seasoned professionals.”
Melody let out a frustrated sigh.

“So, what are we supposed to do now? We can’t just return home with empty hands!”
Desperate for a way out, Melody’s eyes darted to the dagger hanging from Galen’s waist.
Melody swiftly grabbed the dagger and held it up in front of her.
“Stop!”
She yelled at the bodyguards and pressed the dagger against her wrist.
“If you don’t let me through, I’ll slit my wrist right now!”
The guards froze at her sudden outburst and gazed at her with astonishment.
“Miss Hernandez, you can’t harm yourself just for this. It’s not worth it.”
