Chapter 201: Bitter truth (1)
"If you would let me leave, then no one would be harmed. You not only burned my hand with the tea, but you ruined Melody’s dress," Melanie said, pointing at the stain on Melody’s dress.
Melody frantically used a handkerchief to wipe away some of the tea that had spilt on her. It was hot, but she didn’t want to speak of her pain when there were other important matters.
"I am fine," said Melody.
Melody wasn’t angry that tea was spilt on her dress since what Tyrion did stopped her mother from throwing the tea on Penelope.
Should the tea have landed on Penelope, Melody was confident her mother would face consequences she could not get away from.
"I think we should stop here," Melody said, regretting that she had come here with her mother.
Nothing was resolved from this talk, and there were things said today which could not be taken back.
"I told you that we shouldn’t have come here. She has married a tyrant. This kingdom is lucky that you will not become our king, but you," Melanie said, looking directly at Penelope. "You will suffer. You will not do well to have so many of these men around you."
"Hold your worry, grandmother. I do not feel like I will need to run away," Penelope replied, throwing a jab at Melanie.
Melanie shook her head. Penelope was dead to her.
Melanie couldn’t tolerate Penelope after the things that were said today.
