His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 37: Breaking the Taboo 

It was not that no one sat beside Lance, but no one dared to sit beside him.

If Reagan was crowned to be the beauty of Sanguine High School, then Lance was known as the school tyrant.

No one dared to offend Lance in the school, and he had a well-known taboo, he did not like interacting with girls.

Therefore, the people surrounding Lance were all male students, not even a single girl.

It was said that there was a reckless girl who insisted on sitting around Lance and tried to befriend him.

As a result, she was chased out of the classroom that day and was expelled from the school the next day.

From then on, no female students dared to get on his bad side, they all avoided him.

But now, their teacher let the transfer student sit directly next to Lance.

Everyone was worried about this transfer student.

Some even suspected that their teacher had a grudge against this transfer student.

Otherwise, why would he let the transfer student sit beside Lance? From the moment Melody came to the class, there were already many gazes on her, not to mention now that everyone knew she was about to be beside Lance.

She was practically the focus of the entire room.

But Melody didn't mind that at all.

After all, she was used to people staring at her, not like this was new to her.

If she paid attention to these gazes, she couldn't do anything else, because other people always paid attention to her.

Melody held her school bag in one hand and slowly walked towards the position the advisor pointed at, which was beside Lance.

Everyone's gaze also moved along with Melody's movement. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

After she stopped by Lance's side, everyone sucked in a deep breath and held their breaths.

They wanted to see what would happen next.

Lance only took a glance at Melody at first and never paid any attention to her.

But when Melody walked past, Lance grinned as he planned to do something mischievous.He secretly stepped his foot on Melody's chair.His handsome face with sharp edges and thin lips curved into a mocking smile.

Melody didn't care about Lance at all.Her calm eyes' gaze was as cold as ice as she stared at Lance, as if he didn't exist at all.

Melody reached out to pull the chair but found out that the chair didn't move at all.She raised her eyebrows and looked at it, and saw that the chair was stepped on by Lance.

No wonder she couldn't pull it at all.

'Heh!' Melody glanced at the corner of her eyes and her expression didn't change much.

Without even putting down her bag she hit the back of the chair with her knees and her movements are very relaxed.

At the same time, when she hit the chair, Lance's feet seemed to have been electrocuted.

When Lance feet were removed from the chair, Melody pulled in the chair and sat down elegantly.

The people around him were all shocked and couldn't believe their eyes.

It was too unbelievable that Lance let people sit next to him that easily.

Lance felt shocked as well and looked at Melody's face again! Oh my god, her expression could only be described in one word...cold! If one had to use two words, it would be...extremely cold! This kind of feeling that someone gave off could only be felt when Lance was angry.

But now, this transfer student had this kind of temperament, really amazing, just like a cold beauty or more likely an ice princess.

Everyone was still wondering why Lance let the new student sit down so easily, and Lance could only rub his feet secretly.

His feet were still trembling.

He didn't know what had happened just now.

Before he could react, his feet had already bounced off the back of the chair.

He had a Taekwondo black belt, and his legs were considered very strong.

There were very few people who could move his legs away just like that.

Lance could only look at Melody curiously.

But he saw that she was already asleep and was using a book to cover her face.He could only see her beautiful face through the small gap left.

After he carefully looked at this cold beauty's face for a few seconds, Lance felt his heart beating a little faster.

Even he was clueless as to what was going on.

Clifford was going to tell Lance something, but he didn't expect to see a shocking scene when he turned his head.

His boss was staring at the new student while the transfer student laid on her table and slept.

The point was, he felt his boss's gaze towards the new student was filled with affection 'Could it be..' Clifford suddenly thought.

Clifford did not dare to imagine the things happening behind him.It was like a fantasy to see that Lance's gaze was filled with affection.

The first class ended as the bell rang, and Melody was still sleeping like a log.

Although she was a new student, she didn't even try to hide the strong aura around her, so strong that people dared not ignore her.

The originally noisy class was trying their best to be as quiet as they could because she was asleep.

This made the teacher who hadn't left yet be a little shocked.

These students usually acted like animals released from cages after class.

Why were they so quiet today? Did they see a ghost? And because of Melody's shocking arrival, the topics of the students' heated discussions changed from love, issues, and fashion, to everything about her.

"Don't you think that the new student, Melody is too good-looking? I think she's the kind of person who can debut as the most important person in a team with just her face!"

one of the girls suddenly asked, admiration could be felt in her tone.

After she finished speaking about Melody, another girl immediately butt in excitedly, "I think so too!"

"Who do you think looks better if Melody will be compared to our campus belle Reagan? Reagan became the top on the list of the most beautiful girls in Sanguine High School when she went to school in the first year, until now, she was still ranked first" she added.

"She wouldn't be the first anymore.Everyone in the school knew that this new student is more beautiful than Reagan, even Lance treated her differently" another girl squeezed in.

"Makes sense!" they said as they agreed to her opinion.

Reagan happened to pass by and heard this conversation well.

She used to be envied by everyone but now the high and mighty school beauty Melody just arrived and broke all of this.

'On what basis is she better than me?' asked Reagan herself.

'Why is Melody better than me, and now she's about to snatch the top on the list of the most beautiful girls” Reagan added.

Reagan looked in Melody's direction and said through gritted teeth, "Melody, you jinx.How brave of you to mess with me, I'll make sure that you will pay for it"

After the whole morning, four classes have passed.

And Melody had slept on those four whole classes.

The strangest thing was that there wasn't a single teacher who scolded Melody, they just let her sleep the whole time.

If it were any other student, they would have been thrown out of the classroom by the teacher.

Clifford only found out about why the teachers let that happen when the school was about to end, so he secretly told Lance about the information about Melody.

"Lance, I heard that the new student always avoided studying since she was young.It was the Sullivan family who spent money to let her in.The principal specifically told her that on account of her special situation, as long as she doesn't cause trouble and quietly goes to class, the teachers of all subjects can ignore her.” Clifford quietly said.

The mystery about Melody had finally been revealed.

It turned out that this girl was an idiot.

She didn't go to school, maybe she didn't know how to read.

After he heard the news, Lance turned his head to look at Melody who was still asleep with disdain in his eyes.

But, the school bell suddenly rang.

Melody, who was still asleep jolted as she heard the bell.

'Crap, she's awake.She might notice me staring at her” Lance panicked.
