Chapter 177 That Won‘t Do The three of them discussed the matter for a while before immediately

inviting the Lawrences out for dinner at River View Lodge.

When Melody and Benedict arrived at the restaurant, Wendy and her parents were already waiting for

them in a private room. Wendy‘s head was lowered and she seemed to be feeling down, while her

parents looked less than pleased too.

When the Lawrences came in, Wendy looked up and forced a smile. “Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence.”

That was all she could manage before her smile faded. She acted as though she had been deeply

wronged. Melody was confused. “What‘s the matter, Wendy? Did someone do something to hurt you?

Could you tell me?”

As soon as she said that, Magdalene replied, “It‘s all because of those rumors going around. They‘re

making our Wendy sound like a fool who doesn‘t know her own place. She‘s been crying herself to sleep

every night lately.” Wendy hastily denied it. “No, I know Byron didn‘t mean anything like that. I heard

about those rumors, but I‘m not taking them too seriously....”

Even as she said that, though, her eyes reddened again.

Melody felt helpless and sympathetic. “You‘ve been with Byron for so many years. We know how you

feel, but those outsiders don‘t. Byron is...”

Magdalene interrupted softly, telling her daughter, “If Byron truly loved you, he would never put you in

such a tight spot. He doesn‘t care about you, but I can‘t bear to see you like this. Listen to me and break

up with him.”

Their conversation reaches Melody and Benedict loud and clear.

Melody frowned slightly. “What is the meaning of this? All over some petty rumors? I‘ll have them take

care of it right away!”

Magdalene shook her head with a bitter smile. “And how will you take care of it? Everyone in Coast City

is saying that Wendy and Byron were engaged for so long, but Wendy was the only one who had a one–

sided crush on Byron. They‘re even saying that the Fullers only have the position we do today because

of the Lawrences. Now Byron has a new lover, but there‘s still no news of an actual wedding. They say

we‘re the ones holding Byron back...”

“Nonsense!” Melody looked a little angry.

Magdalene pursed her lips. “They‘re not wrong, though. All these years, Wendy‘s love for Byron has

never been reciprocated. We know the truth behind their engagement too. Since Byron has done more

than his part for us, and since he has no feelings for Wendy, we shouldn‘t hold him back any longer.” She

then looked at her daughter sorrowfully. “But Wendy won‘t... I‘ve been trying to persuade

her for days. She just can‘t let go. But as her mother, I can‘t bear to see her be the target of such

malicious rumors. We should just get it over with. Today, I‘ll call off their engagement in her place!”

Wendy lowered her head, her body trembling slightly.

They could not see her expression, but everyone could sense how upset she was.

Melody did not expect them to suddenly suggest canceling the engagement. Her expression changed in

an instant. “That won‘t do! Wendy and Byron have been engaged for years now. You can‘t just cancel

their engagement out of nowhere!”

“That‘s the only way to dispel the rumors.” Magdalene sounded reluctant and upset. “Don‘t worry, I’ll try

to get Wendy out of this slump ASAP. She‘ll find her happiness elsewhere.”

Melody was silent for a few seconds before she said coldly, “No, there‘s another solution to this!”

Before Magdalene even said anything, Melody had stood up with her bag. “Wendy is the only daughter–

in–law I‘ll ever acknowledge. Don‘t worry, I‘ll take care of this!” With that, she strode away without once

looking back
