“I’m impressed, Miss Glyn,” Hannah said, an amused smile spreading out around her lips.
“I just arrived in Valmere, and you already know about it. Your source must be really good.”
Melina cackled with malicious laughter.
“We’re not like you. We can do things that you can’t even dream of.
I guess the only thing you are good at is hypnotizing men. Just look at how you made Bryson stay in Hoijery for your sake. I blame myself for underestimating you all this time. It’s a good thing you’re back now; we need to talk and clarify a whole lot of things.”
Even through the phone, Hannah could sense Melina’s disdain.
“Bryson isn’t in your class,” Melina continued.
“And he has no serious plans for you, so don’t think he’s going to marry you. In case you don’t know, Bryson is going to marry me; both our families are to unite through our marriage.”

“Don’t you have anything else to do?” Hannah asked in an unnaturally calm voice. She couldn’t help but be amused at how pathetic Melina sounded.
There was an awkward pause. Then Melina spurted out, “What do you mean?”
“I have broken up with Bryson and have nothing to do with him anymore,” Hannah said in a toneless voice.
“So, Miss Glyn, for all I care, you can chase him around like a shameless dog. But don’t you ever pester me with calls!”
While Melina babbled incoherently in embarrassment, Hannah hung up the phone.
At the other end, Melina stared blankly at her phone, her face swollen with rage. But then, could Hannah be right about what she had just said?
Had she really broken up with Bryson?
The thought of that possibility filled Melina with excitement and made her sigh deeply. She dialed Bryson’s number at once, but it was switched off.

Gritting her teeth, Melina punched the air in frustration. She wondered again if Hannah had been telling the truth.
As Lydia had expected, her dad’s men seized an opportunity and brought her back to Valmere.
Jaylin Phillips, Lydia’s father, couldn’t hold back his rage the moment Lydia entered the Phillips family villa. He charged towards her and slapped her.
“You’ve become bold, haven’t you? You even now disrespect me by defying my orders!” Jaylin bawled.
“I always spared you, even when you made the worst mistakes. See the big trouble you’ve brought to our family! This is the last time I’m ever letting you do just anything you wish to do!”
Lydia stared at him with a sarcastic smile.
“Big trouble? I doubt if that’s really the case. Isn’t it just the case that your uncertain business is on the verge of collapse and you need me, your less- favored daughter, to save it by marrying some wealthy sponsor?”
She had been a little hesitant to speak up at first, but Jaylin’s slap quickly made her reconsider.
