Chapter 600 Insult Without Cursing 

Meryl had her phone on silent and only realized Anne had called her twice after finishing her task. 

“Anne, what’s up?” she asked, a hint of curiosity in her voice. 

“I’m out of confinement now. The Paltrow family is throwing a celebration for Bella, and I just got the invitation,” Anne replied. 

Meryl couldn’t help but feel puzzled by Dante’s thought process. “He knows how much pain he caused Anne by taking the baby without warning. 

Why would he go out of his way to send her an invitation? 

Isn’t that just rubbing salt in the wound?” 

“Just wait for me; I’m coming over!” Meryl said, turning on her heel. 

As she did, a piece of paper fluttered off her sketchbook. 

It landed on the floor, and a breeze swept it downstairs. 

A few minutes later, Rachel happened to walk by and noticed the sheet of paper. She paused, her curiosity piqued, and bent down to take a look at the notes scribbled on it.

The handwriting was a bit messy, but it was clearly a musical score with some edits and doodles, likely capturing a moment of inspiration. 

Rachel had a solid grasp of music theory, and as she compared the notes on the page, she began to hum the melody. 

When she finished, she was taken aback by her own reaction. 

Her heart raced with excitement, and her hands trembled slightly. 

This piece was beautiful! 

The paper was slightly crumpled, suggesting it had been discarded. 

Although she had only recently joined the orchestra, she was familiar enough with the members to know that this score wasn’t something just anyone could compose. 

Yet, she couldn’t quite place who might have created it. 

Clutching the score tightly, she carefully folded the paper and tucked it away, planning to study it more closely later. 

Meanwhile, Meryl had left the orchestra and was about to grab a

Felix lowered his gaze, hiding whatever emotions were brewing beneath the surface. “Where are you headed? I can give you a 

ride.” 

Meryl had been waiting for a taxi for over ten minutes, and the area wasn’t the best for hailing one. 

She shook her head gently. “No, it’s okay. I can wait.” 

Felix frowned, clearly displeased, “Why haven’t you been coming around lately? You don’t even reply to my messages.” 

“I already helped you with your leg. What more do from me?” Meryl replied, her tone flat.

Felix’s expression hardened. “So, you’re avoiding me now?” 

Meryl remained noncommittal, choosing not to engage. 

Felix’s eyes darkened. “Let’s not forget, it was me who saved you that night at the concert hall. You’re just going to pretend that didn’t happen? And what about my jacket?” 

Meryl blinked in surprise. 

“The jacket? 

Chandler took it, saying he’d return it to Felix.

Wait, he didn’t?”

The thought struck Meryl as amusing. “Seriously? Is Chandler still sulking over a jacket?” 

She fell silent, realizing she couldn’t exactly tell Felix that Chandler had discarded it. 

Felix, however, misinterpreted her silence. 

“If you’re into me, just say it. You don’t have to keep my jacket as a memento, clutching it and reminiscing about me.” 

Meryl rolled her eyes at his bravado.

Seeing her silence, Felix smirked. “Honestly, after leg, I wouldn’t mind being a little more committed.”

Meryl quickly raised her hand, waving it a couple of times. The cab slowed down about 65 feet away. 

With a smile, she shot Felix a teasing look. “Hey, has anyone ever told you that you’re a bit cheesy?” 

As soon as the words left her mouth, she stepped back, opened the taxi door, and hopped inside. 

Felix sat there, stunned. “Did I just hear that? 

Meryl actually called me cheesy?”

By the time he regained his composure and was ready to argue, the taxi had already pulled away. 

Philip, sitting in the driver’s seat, didn’t dare lift his head, wishing he could be deaf at that moment. 

He kept repeating in his mind, “I didn’t hear anything. I didn’t hear anything at all…” 

Just then, a hand suddenly clapped down on Philip’s shoulder from behind, startling him. 

“Am I really that cheesy?” Felix’s voice was laced with 

annoyance. 

Philip, caught off guard, thought, “What am I even supposed to say to that?” 

After a moment’s hesitation, he replied softly, “Mr. Powell, you’re just being sincere with Ms. Stone.” 

Felix casually leaned back in his seat, one hand stuffed in his pocket, exuding an air of relaxed confidence. 

“Right? She doesn’t appreciate anything. Instead, she mocks me.” 

He pulled out a cigarette, holding it between his lips without lighting it, flicking the lighter absentmindedly.

A faint smile danced on his face, though it was barely perceptible. “Not obedient at all.”

Anne’s first meal after her recovery was fondue. 

The two best friends were enjoying a girls‘ night out with no men in sight. 

Anne had ordered the spiciest pot available, and as the heat hit her, tears streamed down her face. 

“Tomorrow’s custody battle! I cannot lose! Why should I? 

“I worked so hard to bring my baby into this world, and he just snatches her away without a second thought. Not to mention throwing a party for her under the Paltrow name! 

“What is he even trying to prove?”
