Chapter 856 - A Clown



Lyn\'s smile stiffened, she was choking and didn\'t know how to answer.

Leonard narrowed his eyes at her, and sneered arrogantly. The next moment, he grabbed Mellisa\'s wrist and led her to the door together with him.

They vanished before everyone, and they also piqued everyone\'s curiosity.

What a surprise!

The Adler\'s heir took another woman away in front of his fiancée, and this slapped Lyn in the face hard.

In recent months, everyone knew that the Grahams had climbed the pyramid of power with the help of the Adlers.

Not only did the status of the family advance by leaps and bounds, even Lyn, who had no sense of existence, was praised as the only woman worthy of being the Adler family\'s future wife.

Looking back at tonight\'s situation, it seemed that her identity as the future daughter-in-law of the Adler family was not as pure as it sounded.

If the heir didn\'t even acknowledge her, surely there would be no marriage... right?!

At this moment, countless people\'s eyes were fixed on Lyn. Under the bright and transparent light, the corners of her mouth began to turn white.

She bit her lip tightly and tried her best to contain her emotions.

The gazes cast by people around her were full of pity and even ridicule.

If Mellisa was the dazzling female character on the dance floor just a moment ago, then Lyn is the clown in everyone\'s eyes right now.

...

Outside the gates of the banquet garden, on both sides of the red carpet were open lawns and a park of green.

Leonard led Mellisa to the artistic wood carving on the left then stopped and looked down, and said softly, "Are you tired?"

He thought of Mellisa\'s body, his eyes looking straight into hers.

Mellisa sighed and shook her head.

It\'s just a dance, her body won\'t be affected that badly.

Leonard\'s eyes narrowed, his fingers brushed against hers, and he lifted his arm to remove the fox mask on her face.

However, Mellisa backed away and blocked his movement.

Upon seeing this, Leonard furrowed his brows, approaching her again. "Let me see."

Mellisa brushed the back of her hand, her tone disdainful. "Aren\'t you afraid that I\'ll be seen by others?"

Hearing this, Leonard\'s hand slowly landed on her ear.

Maybe because he was too excited tonight, he became a little forgetful.

Leonard pulled hair from her ears, his voice hoarse. "Why didn\'t you tell me you were coming?"

Mellisa nodded at the corner of her mouth and looked straight at him. "Even if I didn\'t say it, didn\'t you know it?!" After speaking, she blinked again. "How do you recognize me?"

She was wearing a mask tonight and an evening gown that she never wore.

It was very different from her usual dress.

But Leonard still recognized her, and Mellisa couldn\'t help but be surprised.

At this time, Leonard stared at her deeply and silently for a few seconds before saying. "If I can\'t even recognize my own woman, do I still deserve to love her?"

The corners of Mellisa\'s heart squirmed and her eyes calmly lifted. "You...!"

Leonard smiled and squeezed her earlobe with his fingertips. "In the hall earlier, you bumped into me. Your apology is enough to prove your identity. Mellisa, you\'ve been hiding from me for so long, now… do you still plan on hiding longer?"

She listened to Leonard\'s explanation, and smiled faintly. "Even if I hid for a long time, why didn\'t you come look for me?"

Leonard closed his lips helplessly. "After you jumped out the window, I went back to Bandung for a while. A lot of things happened later, but every time I had the chance to leave the house, do you think I would let you hide from me for so long?"

Leonard bowed and approached Mellisa\'s face after speaking. "Mellisa, I..."

"Leonard, what are you doing?!"

At this time, Lawrence\'s call came from the door of the banquet hall.

Leonard tracked the voice and turned his head, his face a little heavy. "What?"

Lawrence glanced at Leonard and Mellisa, and then gestured. "Here, I have to say something!"

Seeing that, Mellisa pursed her lips. She saw Leonard\'s wrinkled gaze and whispered. "Go."

"Then what about you?" Leonard asked back, feeling very worried.

He wasn\'t sure if Mellisa would stay after the two of them met!

Even though he had convinced himself all day, when he actually faced Mellisa, too many uncertain doubts made him lose his usual composure.

At this moment, Mellisa naturally noticed the deep anxiety in his eyes. She smiled and reassured him. "I want to relax outside for a bit, it\'s too noisy inside."

Leonard looked deeply at her. "Wait for me."

He was relieved when he finished speaking, seeing the woman\'s slightly nodding motion.

He stepped back, went on the steps at the front of the hall, and looked back at her.

Lawrence stepped forward and grabbed Leonard\'s shoulder, and said as he led him into the banquet hall.

"Take it easy, your woman is not that cruel, she won\'t just disappear easily!"

...

In the garden, Mellisa wrapped her arms around her elbows with one hand, slowly staring at the thick night.

The words Leonard had spoken to her still echoed in her ears, and the corners of her lips inadvertently lifted into a smile.

Maybe love is deep, so even if the other party changes their appearance and puts on a mask, they can still notice the figure tightly engraved on the bone marrow even if they only see movement from afar.

Melissa took a deep breath. Perhaps it was both unexpected and natural for Leonard to recognize her at this party.

When she returned to the Adler family home, she worried whether she needed to find an opportunity to thank the Patriarch.

"What\'s wrong? Can\'t forget the dance just now?"

Just as Mellisa\'s mood was going up and down, an arrogant voice came from behind her.

She raised her eyebrows and looked back, and calmly met Lyn\'s mocking gaze.

Mellisa studied her coldly, looking away, and her tone unhurried. "Miss Lyn, do you want to talk to me?"

Lyn silently gritted her teeth, and stared at Mellisa\'s back.

She hated Mellisa\'s gentle temperament, especially whenever they talked to each other, it wouldn\'t be that hard to see that Lyn harbored a deep sense of hatred towards her.

"Since you haven\'t participated in this great banquet before, I forgive your lack of manners. I heard you were escorted directly by Uncle Leonhart\'s personal assistant, but I\'ve never heard of you at the Adlers\' house. So, who are you?"

Lyn said as she approached Mellisa vaguely.

At this time, Mellisa slowly turned around and caught a glimpse of Lyn\'s movement. She said with a smile. "If you want to know who I am, why don\'t you investigate yourself?"

Lyn was taken aback, and she quickly tried to hide her shock. She slowly stood in front of Mellisa and smiled faintly. "Since you\'ve never participated in a high-end banquet like this, you definitely don\'t know my identity, right?"

"Your identity...shouldn\'t be that important, so rest assured…. because I won\'t bother to find out."

Mellisa replied to Lyn\'s words with a cold attitude while showing displeasure.
