His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 14: Let Her Kneel Down 

The teacup fell over and Melody knew it was her fault.She stood up and prepared to apologize.

Before she could speak, she was already being scolded by the woman who glared at her fiercely.

"Are you blind, or is your hand broken? You can't even hold a teacup properly! Do you know how expensive my clothes are?"

The woman assumed that Melody was a cleaner, and so she became even more fussy.

"Kneel down and apologize right now" she demanded.

"Otherwise, I will definitely get someone to fire you and ruin your reputation in California!"

The people who noticed the commotion recognized Melody, but they didn't bother to warn the woman who was scolding her.

After all, who wouldn't want to watch such a good show? Besides, everyone was here as contender for Mr.David's favor.

Wouldn't they be better of without the Sullivans? The woman, who was accidentally splashed by Melody, didn't feel even one stroke of embarrassment.

Instead, she was arrogant and thought that she was the right one in the situation.

"Didn't you hear what I said? I told you to kneel down and wipe it clean for me.Are you deaf?"

Melody scoffed.

"She wants me to kneel down?"

Melody smiled coldly as she thought of it.

This woman must be dreaming! If Melody knelt down, then would the woman be able to pay the price for it? When the woman saw that Melody made no attempt to obey her, the woman reached out to grab her.

Suddenly, someone interrupted.

"Stop! Don't you dare touch her!"

A gloomy and aged voice caught everyone's attention.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was the host of today's banquet, Mr.David.

Instantly, they became respectful and behaved themselves.

Mr.David walked over slowly with his walking stick.

His gaze locked onto Melody and the other woman.

"You, He said as he pointed at the woman.

"You want her to kneel down to you?"

There was a hint of displeasure and anger on his stern face. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

A middle-aged man suddenly appeared, and then pulled the woman to the side with a stern glare.

Then he respectfully turned around to face Mr.David.

"I'm so sorry, Mr.David.My wife did not mean to offend you.We have disturbed your banquet.Please forgive us, I'll ask her to apologize now."

The person who spoke was the husband of the woman.

He was the boss of a technology company in California, an "overnight billionaire".

The woman usually used her family's reputation to scold others.She didn't think that reprimanding the cleaner would become a problem, and she most definitely did not expect to offend Mr.David.

That was why she asked her husband to come out and coax their way out of it, afraid that she would end up offending a big shot.

Mr.David sized the middle aged man up from head to toe with ridicule, and contempt.

"Is there a need for you apologize to me? Your wife should apologize to her!" He pointed at Melody, who was standing at the side calmly.

The woman's eyes widened when she heard Mr.David's words.

"You want me to apologize to a cleaner?"

"A cleaner?" Mr.David's face was full of horror as if he heard something ridiculous.

"Did you think that she was a cleaner? How ridiculous! Even if you or your husband kneel down in apology, the problem at hand is whether you would be forgiven at all.You're such an ignorant woman.Extremely stupid!"

The merciless remarks was like a bucket of ice water being poured carelessly on the couple.

It was very embarrassing.

Melody, the other person involved in this situation, was quiet all through out the exchange.She had not said anything, but the other person was already extremely embarrassed.

Mr.David became angry when the couple did not move at all.He pointed at the husband and in a threatening voice he said, "You ruined my banquet, and offended my guest of honor! Although I've just returned to California, I'm ready to fight anyone who dares to humiliate me like this!"

His words held great importance to them, and it had power itself.

"Her?" The whispers about Melody carried throughout the banquet hall.

The girl from the Sullivan family was actually Mr.David's guest of honor? Everyone was shocked.They didn't know what was going on.

Even the Sullivans were in disbelief when they heard it.

Reagan made an ugly face, like she had too much to eat.She laughed at Melody earlier for not being able to stand out, but now Melody was the guest of honor? It felt like a slap across her face, and everyone was there to witness it.

It was so embarrassing for her.The man's face turned white as paper.He pulled his wife aside, and then told her to apologize to Melody.

"Just ask her for forgiveness!" he urged in between his gritted teeth.

Melody was the most distinguished guest! The woman's face was pale and embarrassed, just like her husband.She didn't expect that the most important guest would be dressed like this.

"Miss, I'm sorry.I must have offended you.You will forgive me right?" she said in a low voice as she walked up to Melody.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Melody, as they waited for her reaction.
