Chapter 560

“Miss Hunter?” Ruby was a little surprised. She knew Cadence and the two of them belonged to the same class and were considered acquaintances.

Cadence smiled and said, “Mrs. Taylor, long time no see. Although I don’t know what happened between you and my friend, I still hope that you can let it go.”

Ruby frowned. She did not expect Mabel to be invited here by Cadence.

No one wanted to fall out with Cadence. After all, the Swanson family was her strong back, which was not something that the Taylor family could fight against.

However, when Ruby thought of Mabel’s insults to Melody and the video, she still could not suppress her dissatisfaction. “Miss Hunter, I respect you, but your friend…

“Ruby, forget it.” Melody interrupted and pulled her hand. We’re here to eat. There’s no need to ruin our mood for that kind of person.”

Melody seemed to be persuading Ruby, but she was observing Cadence from the corner of her eye. But she found something strange. Cadence should hate her even more than Mabel. After all, as a young rich lady who had always been high and mighty, Cadence had almost been bitten to death by her own carefully trained hound because of Melody. How could Cadence swallow this anger?

However, at this moment, Cadence did not even look at her and even acted like a peacemaker. There must be something wrong. However, Melody had yet to figure out what Cadence was up to. But she didn’t feel nervous at all. If Cadence really wanted to do something, he would expose herself sooner or later. Now, she only needed to wait and see. “I’m really fine. Just sit down and eat.” When Ruby saw that there was no anger in Melody’s eyes, she calmed down a little and took a deep breath. “Miss Hunter, now that you and Melody are here, I can let it go, but I don’t want her to disturb us again.”

“Don’t worry, we’re just here to eat, not to cause trouble.” As Cadence spoke, she hugged Mabel’s hand and said, “Let’s go, Mabel.”

Mabel felt indignant. “Cadence, they…”

“That’s enough!” Cadence’s lips curved downwards, revealing a hint of anger. “Didn’t you notice that everyone is looking at us? Do you really want to make it even worse in front of so many people?”

Mabel clenched her fists and lowered her head in silence.

Seeing that Mabel finally stopped talking, Cadence nodded slightly at Ruby and Melody and pulled Mabel back to their table.

After the two of them left, Ruby heaved a sigh of relief. She looked up at Melody with guilt and anxiety. “I’m sorry, Melody. She’s with the Swanson family. I can’t fall out with her directly. I’m just so useless. Did I let you down?”

“What? No! I’m happy that you trust me and stand by me.” A sincere smile appeared on Melody’s face.

Ruby was relieved but somehow grew more upset. She should have been tougher and chased out the woman who cursed Melody. The Taylor and Swanson families couldn’t really fall out over such a small matter. Maybe she just had too many scruples.

After this incident, Ruby swore to herself that she would stand on Melody’s side to protect her no matter what the price was. This was what she and Mason and the child in her stomach owed Melody.

Without Melody, she would probably have been forced to divorce Mason by the elders in Insterimond because she was infertile. Although Ruby had always been gentle, once. she made up her mind about something, she would never waver.

Melody vaguely felt that the way Ruby looked at her was a little different, but she did not think too much about it. She only thought that the surveillance video made Ruby pity her. And compared to Ruby, she had someone she needed to pay more attention to.

At the same time, Cadence and Mabel returned to their seats.

With the delicious food in front of her, at this moment, Mabel no longer had the appetite to taste it.

Cadence observed Mabel’s expression and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She might be a genius. Although her father had told her not to act rashly, the plan was going perfectly now.

“Mabel.” Cadence stopped smiling and held Mabel’s hand across the table. “I know you’re unhappy. She’s your sister, but she’s treating you with such a rude attitude. She’s even colluding with other people to embarrass you. I want to help you, but you know Ruby’s identity. Her husband has also invested in this restaurant. I can’t fall out with her. Cadence’s tone was filled with guilt and helplessness, making Mabel feel even more uncomfortable. After all, Cadence was such a high and mighty person, but now, even she had to be afraid of Melody.

‘Damn Melody, how do you bewitch Ruby!’ Mabel cursed in her mind.

“Don’t think about that, Mabel. Come, drink some wine. You’ Il feel better.” Cadence raised the goblet in her hand and gestured for Mabel to clink glasses with her.

Mabel was depressed. She picked up the goblet and clinked it with hers. Then, she raised her head and drank it in one gulp, unaware that there was some white powder left in the cup that had yet to completely dissolve.

“That’s great.” Cadence’s smile deepened. As she continued to pour wine for Mabel to disperse the powder, she deliberately said, “Your sister has long been raised in the countryside. If I had known this, I wouldn’t have suggested that you go to greet her. You should have less contact with her in the future!” She seemed to be speaking earnestly and was completely on Mabel’s side.

These words did make Mabel feel a little better. Finally, there was someone like her who hated the disgusting Melody.

Mabel smirked and drank the red wine in one gulp again.

However, in less than two minutes, she felt a headache.

Mabel held her forehead and Cadence’s face started to be blurry in her vision.

“Mabel? Are you alright?” Cadence asked in surprise, “Don’t you often drink? You’ve only had two glasses.”

Mabel pressed her temples and forced herself to say, “My alcohol tolerance should be alright. But maybe the liquor is too intense.”

Cadence stood up helplessly and said, “Forget it. I’ll help you to the lounge on the second floor. If you lose your composure here, they will all know tomorrow and might even mock me. Let’s go up.”

Cadence supported Mabel and pulled her up from her seat with difficulty.
