Chapter 179 Get To Know Each Other Byron stood in front of the window for a long time before he pulled
out his phone and called his father.
His call went through quickly. “What‘s up, Byron?” Benedict had not gone to work that day. He was eating
breakfast at home, and he looked up at Melody opposite him when he picked up his son‘s call. Melody
immediately knew what was going on when she heard it was her son calling. She held out her hand to
take the phone from Benedict. Benedict did not protest, handing her the phone as she wished. On the
other end, Byron had no idea what was going on. He asked in a low voice, “Were you the one who
spread the news about the engagement?” Even though Luther had already confirmed it, he still wanted
to hear it straight from his father‘s mouth. However, it was his mother who replied. “It was my idea. Is

began to frown. “Why didn‘t you ask me what I thought first? This is my marriage we‘re talking about, and
I told you not to interfere. I have my own plans.”
Melody remembered what the Fullers had said last night, her expression darkening. “What plans? Do
you plan to just leave Wendy hanging there? The rumors have been relentless on Wendy after what you
did that day. What have you done to take care of it? Or is that part of your plan?”
Byron felt a headache coming on. “How can you be sure I haven‘t taken any measures to deal with the
rumors?” After he took Rosalie away in front of all these guests, he had heard tell of the rumors that
circulated later as well.
He did not like Wendy, but he was indebted to Old Master Fuller, after all. He did not plan to just stand by
and watch. Just as he was about to make his move, however, the news made a sudden turn that pulled
the rug out from under his feet too. Byron was caught completely off–guard. “I don‘t care if you‘ve taken
any measures. This is the only way to put an end to the rumors!” Melody said in a tone that brook no
argument. “You‘re the one who started those rumors, so you have to be the one to end them! Besides,
Wendy has been waiting for you all these years. It‘s high time for you to do your part too. All I did was
make the announcement on your behalf. What‘s wrong with that?”
Byron massaged his brow and forced down the frustration that was rising in his chest. “You know I never
planned to go through with it! And you know what Estie‘s like. She never liked Wendy. Wendy even hit
her a few days ago. How could you ask Estie to accept Wendy as her mother? Have you ever
considered Estie‘s feelings?” Melody was unperturbed. “Estie doesn‘t like Wendy because they haven‘t

eventually, and Estie has to accept Wendy someday. It‘s only a matter of time. If you get married sooner
rather than later, they‘ll have more time to get to know each other.”
She continued before Byron could say anything, “If you don’t intend to marry Wendy, are you really
planning to marry that Jacobs woman instead? I‘ve said it once and I‘ll say it again. No matter what the
reason, I‘ll never accept that woman back! If you didn‘t tell me that having her around would help Estie
get better, I wouldn‘t even have agreed to let Estie stay with her! That‘s the furthest I can compromise!”
Byron stayed silent. “Estie should be better by now. Bring her back as soon as possible so she can get
used to being with Wendy.”
Melody added, “While you‘re at it, you should also remind Jacobs not to get any funny ideas. She‘ll never
marry into our family a second time!”
With that, she hung up. Byron listened to the static by his ear, his expression painful to behold.
