With his legs tightly held by Melody, Terence frowned and sighed. He bent down to help her up, looked into her eyes and said slowly, "Melody, listen to me! Calm down! Don't be like this! What happened between the two of us has passed. There is no possibility for us to be together anymore. Don't linger in the memories. Just leave early!"
"No! I don't want to leave!"
Pushing Terence away, Melody covered her ears with her hands and didn't want to listen to him.
"I met you first. Why should I let that bitch Hester take you away? It's unfair!"
Taking a deep breath to restrain his emotions, Terence frowned and talked to her patiently.
"I have never been an accessory of anyone. There is no doubt about it. Melody, I know you can't accept this fact.
But it has been so long. Can you wake up a little bit?"
"Wake up?"
Melody looked at Terence with tearful eyes. She was desperate and sad. She couldn't accept the fact. Even though it had been a long time, she still couldn't let it go.
"How can I wake up? I have loved you for so long. How can I change so easily? I admit that when there was something wrong with your company, I listened to my father and left.

'Austin, just wait and see!'
In the old house of the Liu family, Hester was sitting in a Chinese courtyard, holding a teacup at hand, and reading a law dictionary attentively.
"You don't look good. You should have a good rest and don't work so hard."
Leo closed the dictionary in front of her and sat down beside her. His dark eyes were full of gentleness.
Her cousin was so hardworking. As a man, he felt ashamed of himself!
Hester looked up, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and took a sip with a smile. "I have no choice. I'm used to it. When I first came into contact with the law industry, I was afraid that I would fall behind others."
Leo nodded in agreement. He didn't need to look at her three years ago, because he could imagine it.
"Austin has suffered a lot!"
When Leo suddenly mentioned Austin, Hester's heart trembled and she looked at him in panic. "Cousin, I disappeared all of a sudden and didn't call Brother Austin. Is he going crazy now?"
"Don't worry. I have informed Austin. He is fine!"
