She let out a giggle, evidently amused.
A bodyguard swiftly cranked up the electric baton to maximum power and menacingly waved it.
In a split second, Noelle pushed Lucinda away from behind and took the hit.
“Noelle!” Caught off guard, Lucinda stumbled back a couple of steps before regaining her balance.
As the electric baton was about to make contact with Noelle, a sharp swoosh sound came from the open front door.
In the next moment, a dagger pierced through the back of the bodyguard’s hand, causing blood to gush out.
The electric baton slipped from the bodyguard’s grip and clattered onto the floor, followed by his anguished screams which echoed in the living room.

Melody’s anger flared even more as she saw his indifference towards her. Her eyes turned red with fury.
“Remember the incident in Forden? You fought with me because of Lucinda, and you even contemplated ending our engagement. Since she’s your sister, I let it slide. But this time, you’ve been secretly living with another woman. Have you thought about the reputation of the Simmons and Hernandez families?”
Lucinda furrowed her brow when she heard that.
Why was this woman relentlessly stubborn? Lucinda had already assured her that Noelle had nothing to do with Cyrus.
Was Melody just being paranoid?
Lucinda wanted to explain.
