Reborn To Remarry My Ex Husband (Melody and Edward) novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 Subtle 

Derrick froze a little. 

The fact that Melody refused to admit the truth and instead tried to play clever with her excuses infuriated him even more. He stepped closer, his voice rising with anger. 

“Melody, do you really think I’ll believe you if you come up with excuses like that? 

“You’re allergic to Cacroce? How could I not know?” he snapped. 

“That’s a lie.”

His brow furrowed slightly, but he refused to believe her. 

After all, he had personally procured that cream with great difficulty from a wealthy client. 

He had given it to Suzanna because he believed it to be effective. 

Now, that good intention had backfired, and Suzanna was suffering because of it. 

This was a matter he would have to take responsibility for. 

Everyone in the room understood the stakes.

Given that they were siblings, how could he be unaware of her allergy to Cacroce? 

Was Melody lying to cover up a mishap?

While it didn’t hurt, just a slight itch, the sight was still alarming. 

Melanie frowned harder than Derrick, using her fan to partially shield her face. Her heart was twisting at the sight. 

Unable to contain her frustration, she pouted toward Truman, exclaiming. “What is this nonsense from the Shields?” 

“Mel’s allergic reaction is so obvious. It breaks my heart How can he just stand there and question whether Mel is deceiving him?” She fumed. 

“If he’s so blind, he might as well donate his eyes and stop pretending to be useful!” 

Melanie huffed in irritation. 

Yet she respected Melody enough not to interrupt her moment.
