Chapter 413 The One Who Isn't Loved Is the Homewrecker Melody stood on stage, which placed her on a pedestal higher than everyone else. Her gaze was directly fixed on Theo, while Sierra, standing behind him, had been completely ignored.
Melody had followed Theo around when they were younger, which led to several people guessing that the Gray family would be connected with the Jones family through marriage.
However, out of nowhere, she decided to go abroad.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince Theo remained single, there were a bunch of rumors claiming that he was waiting for Melody to return.
An interesting coincidence was that she returned not long after Theo and Sierra were married.
Now that she had made such a speech, everyone could not help but let their imaginations run wild.
"Ms. Jones and Mr. Gray had been quite the enviable pair back then. If Ms. Jones hadn't gone abroad that year, their children would probably be in school already." "Mr. Gray never announced to the public that he had a girlfriend. We don't know for sure whether Ms. Jones had been his girlfriend or not. Now that he's married, she's just trying to be a homewrecker if he really is the someone special she mentioned." "In love, the unloved is always the outsider. Sierra probably took advantage of Ms. Jones' absence to seduce Mr. Gray. She's clearly the homewrecker here." "Wasn't Sierra dating Benson back then? How did she end up marrying Mr. Gray instead?" Several people whispered about what they had just heard while looking in Theo and Sierra's direction. Sof their gazes were filled with disdain, pity...
She knew that Melody would try something, but she never expected Melody to confess so boldly. She turned to Theo, asking, "Is she talking about you?" Theo gave her a blank look before lifting his hand to pinch her cheek. "What nonsense are you spewing?" Tel She quickly slapped his hand away and produced a small mirror from her purse. After ensuring that her makeup was still intact, she replied, "You can't pinch my cheek when I'm wearing makeup. You'll just end up makinglook ugly." Theo couldn't help but laugh after hearing her words. He purposely looked at her face and said seriously, "Sierra, you're still beautiful without makeup. You're never ugly." Sierra could not help smiling after hearing Theo's compliment. She tightened her grip around his arm and whispered, "What a smooth talker you are." Feeling her grip around his arm, Theo leaned toward her. From afar, it looked like they were sharing a secret. At that moment, the people who suspected that Edward had forced Theo to marry Sierra realized how wrong they were. It was clear to them that Theo loved her when they saw the affection in his eyes.
Sadness flickered across Melody's eyes as she watched their interaction. However, she quickly pulled herself together and said a few more words before standing beside her father.
She had originally planned to confess her feelings toward Theo right then and there, but when she saw how affectionate he was toward Sierra, she backed out on her plan.
Not wanting to beca laughingstock, she was afraid that Theo would reject her in front of everyone. Perhaps deep down, she knew that he never harbored any feelings toward her. It was probably why Melody felt indignant about the whole situation, causing her to look at Sierra with a challenging gaze.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOnce Gordon and Melody had finished their speech, the banquet carried on as usual.
Melody held onto Gordon's arm as she brought her wine glass around omr and began socializing with her guests. However, her line of sight would subconsciously drift toward The and Sierra every once in a white.
At last, they approached the couple. She could not hold it in anymore and blurted out, "Theo, I knew you would come."
Sierra stood beside him, not showing a hint of anger. Instead, she scanned the crowd, looking for possible business partners for Shaw Corporation.
Seeing this, Melody took a step forward, let go of Gordon's arm, and stretched her hand toward Theo. "Theo, why don't you bringaround and introduceto sof the guests here?"
