Chapter 226: Tough to Tear
The two of them walked out, one after the other.
Just as they stepped out of the office, they saw several figures walking toward them.
The woman in the lead wore a long black dress, its slightly loose fit unable to conceal her bulging belly.
A light shawl was draped over her shoulders, and she carried a designer handbag from the latest collection. From head to toe, everything she wore was priceless.
When Rose Shaw saw this person, her expression shifted slightly, and she immediately stepped aside to clear the way.
Melody Monroe, who was behind Rose Shaw, also moved aside. She had already guessed who this person was.
’It has to be Lana Sheffield.’
Although Rose Shaw and Melody Monroe had made way, Lana Sheffield didn’t continue forward. Instead, she walked straight toward Melody Monroe.
The atmosphere instantly grew tense. Everyone was breaking out in a cold sweat for Melody Monroe.
The mistress was meeting the official wife. They wondered how the wife would take down the mistress.
"You’re Melody Monroe?" Lana Sheffield stood before Melody, sizing her up from head to toe. A sense of alarm instantly rose within her.
It was the first time she had seen a celebrity who was even more beautiful in person than in photos.
’A face like Melody Monroe’s... probably no man could resist it.’
"Yes, I’m Melody Monroe." Melody Monroe nodded, her composure unwavering.
’Why did Lana Sheffield suddenly walk over and question her? And she clearly came with ill intentions.’
’Surely Lana Sheffield doesn’t actually believe the rumors out there, that she and President Sterling have some kind of improper relationship?’
"You truly live up to your title as the ’Goddess of Otaku.’ Who knows how many men, on their lonely nights, need to look at your pictures to relieve their solitude."
The onlookers held their breath in unison. As expected of the official wife, she came in swinging, humiliating Melody Monroe so thoroughly without a shred of mercy!
Lana Sheffield’s behavior only further convinced everyone that Melody Monroe truly was in an improper relationship with President Sterling.
"And you are?" Melody Monroe asked softly in return.
Lana Sheffield choked on her words!
’How could Melody Monroe not know who she is?!’
’And she dares to ask *her* who she is!’
This seemingly simple question had struck Lana Sheffield right where it hurt!
She had finally married the man she loved, but she didn’t even get a proper wedding!
To save face for the Rockwell Family, many people didn’t even know that she, Lana Sheffield, was Christopher Sterling’s wife!
Rose Shaw hadn’t expected Melody Monroe to clash head-on with Lana Sheffield, but Melody’s counterattack was perfectly executed.
"Are you with Stellaris?" Melody Monroe asked again.
"Of course I’m with Stellaris!" Lana Sheffield retorted immediately. She touched her belly, about to declare her identity, but Melody Monroe beat her to the punch.
"Just now, you insulted me. I won’t make a big deal out of it, but you do need to apologize. Since you’re with Stellaris, you have to follow Stellaris’s rules!" Melody Monroe’s tone was matter-of-fact.
The crowd looked at Melody Monroe, then back at Lana Sheffield.
’Lana Sheffield has really picked a fight with the wrong person this time!’
’Melody Monroe is surprisingly tough to deal with!’
Lana Sterling was so furious she was speechless, and for a moment, she couldn’t think of a comeback! She couldn’t believe Melody Monroe would pull a move like this—pretending not to know who she was!
"Mrs. Sterling!" A voice suddenly rang out as Raymond Ford emerged from the crowd.
Hearing herself addressed as "Mrs. Sterling" made Lana Sheffield’s expression brighten considerably.
Raymond Ford had returned specifically to deal with her prior issue with Rose Shaw, but she hadn’t expected to walk into a situation like this upon arriving at the company. She had been watching silently for a while, waiting for the right moment to appear.
"Mrs. Sterling, my name is Raymond Ford. It’s such an honor to meet you." Raymond Ford walked up to Lana Sheffield, a sycophantic smile on her face, and then glanced over at Melody Monroe and Rose Shaw.
