Chapter 918 - Intimidating Mellisa

After speaking, Michelle raised her eyes at Melisa and saw the girl humbly asking for advice. She continued with satisfaction, "Secondly, I don't care what you think, but once you enter the door of the Adler's house, you must obey everything the elders say…"

"Thirdly..."

"Wait!" Melisa quickly interrupted.

Seeing Michelle's clearly displeased brows, Melissa's gaze grew even colder. "Obey the elders? Does that mean I can't have my own opinion? Does that mean I have to follow all the elders' arrangements?"

Michelle furrowed her brows, glanced at the corner of the waiting room, and nodded. "Good that you understand!"

Really arrogant!

"Oh." Mellisa replied coldly. "Sorry, I can't do it!"

Michelle looked surprised, and narrowed her eyes in disbelief. "What did you say?"

Mellisa slowly got up from her chair and bowed to her. She then looked at Michelle, and said in a low voice. "Mrs. Michelle has flattered my grandfather in every possible way, but now she is showing her true color when he is gone? Or do you want to go to my grandfather's place now and say all these rules in front of him?"

After hearing this, Michelle's eyes clearly showed a trace of tension.

Mellisa caught a guilty expression, and then placed one hand on the back of Michelle's chair. She bent down slightly and whispered in her ear. "I forgot to tell you, the Mayer family never discriminates when it comes to torturing people. I respected you as Leonard's mother before, so I repeatedly let things slip. Do you think I'm that weak to be blackmailed?"

"Don't think just because I'm married to the Adlers, you can do anything you wish to me. You've also said that my abilities are far from enough just because the daughter-in-law you personally chose was eliminated, so you feel resentful towards me, hmm?"

"To be honest, Lyn's abilities are really not that good in my eyes. I have a lot of decent abilities, but I am poor in experience. After all, I wasted too much of my youth. If you still don't trust my current abilities, how about I screw up your current project and let you taste it?"

"Even though I'm still incapable of manipulating the stock market, if I want to get my hand into the financial statements under your name and I vaporize some of the market value, it won't be that difficult. So please don't always use my abilities as an excuse. I will now tell the truth, even if I am useless, I will occupy the position of the daughter-in-law of the Adler family."

Mellisa is not exactly a pure white flower that can be picked at will. In these years, she has been wandering and facing hardships, even doing unlawful things. 

If it wasn't for Leonard, she would still do it again and again.

If the relationship between her mother-in-law and her really didn't allow for harmony, then to hell with all of these rules and traditions!

As a mother, Michelle had repeatedly humiliated Mellisa though she had become the daughter-in-law and kept belittling her!

Melisa's harsh and arrogant words made it difficult for Michelle to compose herself for a long time.

Seeing Mellisa in front of her, the anger and jealousy in her heart burned her sanity like fire in a meadow. 

At this moment, Melissa straightened up her back and took a distance from her, her eyes dark and deep.

Since treating each other with respect seemed impossible, the only way out for them was to prove who would dominate the reign over the family.

"Mellisa, what are you talking about?"

Leonhart's sudden voice broke the deadlock between them.

Michelle suddenly took her eyes off Melissa's face, sat up straight, trying to make herself look the same.

She was sure that Mellisa wouldn't complain to Leonhart so easily. Although her heart was worried, her expression had returned to normal.

However, Mellisa didn't raise any complaints, maybe because she still had some doubts, but Lilia wasn't so generous anymore.

At this time, hearing Leonhart's voice, Lilia stood up gently. Noticing Leonhart's suspicious gaze, she smiled and said sharply , "Mrs. Michelle is warning my sister about the Adler family's rules. Patriarch, although I don't know much about your family, I was really surprised to hear them."

"In the entire extended Family in Surabaya, the Mayer Family, and even the Irwan Family, I'm sure all those families are no worse than the Adler family, but I've never heard of this inexplicable rule!"

Hearing this, Leonhart's cheeks looked graceful.

He reached out his hand and patted Lilia's shoulder, then shook his head helplessly, "Lilia, sorry, I made you laugh."

After speaking, he stepped forward. He looked at Mellisa who was pursing her lips, and asked in a friendly manner, "Mellisa, do you remember what I told you?"

Mellisa raised her eyes, met Leonhart's gentle gaze, and nodded politely. "I remember everything."

"I want to add it and I won't repeat it. After all, the future of the Adler Family is yours and Leonard's, and you will have to rule this family. Just remember this sentence!"

Mellisa's eyes were grateful, and her voice was very soft. "I'll remember that, father."

This is enough to prove that she agrees with Leonhart's role as a father.

Leonhart smiled comfortably. "I have told your two grandfathers. They were wise and could understand my arrangements beforehand. Since they've bothered to come today, you and Leonard will accompany them. I'm going back home first."

"Okay."

After Mellisa answered, Leonhart looked at Michelle in a cold voice. "Come back with me."

Michelle wanted to open her mouth, but she caught the sharp color between her husband's eyebrows, and squeezed her hand sadly.

And when she passed Lilia, she glared furiously.

Upon seeing this, Lilia raised her eyebrows, and slightly turned around to see Michelle's figure walking behind Leonhart with a gloomy light floating at the bottom of her eyes.

Mellisa looked at her in amusement, reaching out her hand to hold Lilia's cheek in front of her. "Don't worry, he'll teach her when they get home."

"Really?" Lilia took Mellisa's hand and said with a sullen face, "You will live in the Adler family home in the future. If she always treats you like this, will you let the Patriarch come to your defense every time?"

Mellisa pursed the corners of her mouth. "After this, I don't think she will dare to do any more."

Mellisa didn't want to do anything too bad, the previous intimidation was gone.

After all... She is Leonard's mother, and this is Mellisa's most concern.

However, no one thought that Michelle wouldn't have the chance to target Mellisa again after this.

...

When Leonhart left the Rockwood hotel with Michelle, he met Jean and the others who had returned from smoking in the corridor outside the door.

Seeing the two of them, Leonard paused for a moment and asked with a frown, "Father, are you coming back?"

Leonhart's expression was serious, revealing a rushed momentum.

He pursed his lips, and took two more steps before he said to the side, "I have explained the matter about you and Mellisa to the two elders. You don't need to ask more about other things, just do it yourself. Come to my study at noon tomorrow."

Leonard looked at his father's sullen expression, his eyes crossed Michelle and nodded slowly. "Okay, I got it!"

Then Leonhart nodded towards Jean and Andrew before he left the hotel.

In the parking lot, the guard opened the door for both of them. Leonhart said in a low tone, "Wait outside."

The bodyguard ordered the other guards to take their distance. As the two got into the car, he closed the door and stood a few meters away and waited.

In the car, Michelle looked at him with a nonchalant look. "What made you so angry? That girl said something unreasonable!"

Leonhart slowly folded his legs while looking ahead, his tone calm and cold, "Michelle, we're getting a divorce!"
