Chapter 26
“Mr. Smith, do you know why no one has made trouble for you these years?”
Roderick’s voice was so cold.
Ryan shook his head blankly, nodded, and then shook it again.
Only he knew the answer.
“I’m glad you know that.”
Roderick waved his hand.
Richard and Bill appeared together, with one holding a knife and the other carrying a hammer.
Ryan trembled and then shouted.
“Mr. Lambert, I was wrong. It’s all my fault. Please forgive me.”
“Apologizing is not enough.”
Roderick said expressionlessly, “You have to learn the lesson.”
Before Ryan could react, he was already pressed by Richard.
Then Bill chopped off Ryan’s right wrist instantly.
With a scream, Ryan’s right hand dropped and his blood splashed all over the ground. Ryan had passed out.
“I heard that Mr. Smith wants to be lame. Let’s fulfill his wish together.”
Roderick took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his shoes. His voice was as cold as ice.
With two cracks and two screams, Ryan woke up in pain and then passed out again.
“Call Mr. Leigh.”
“Yes, sir.”

Angie looked at the fierce scene and was extremely excited.
“Well done! This bastard deserves this.
“Melanie, don’t you think Mr. Lambert is really cool?” Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Melanie looked at the man coming out of the shadows and felt complicated.
Roderick walked to Melanie and bent down without saying a word. Then he carried her up firmly in his arms.
Ignoring Melanie’s struggle, Roderick carried her all the way to the car outside.
“Why did you bring me to the hospital? I’m fine.”
Melanie strongly resisted going to the hospital for examinations.
Roderick kept silent and just stared at Melanie until she blushed and turned away.
After a general check–up and an intravenous drip, Melanie lay on the hospital bed.
“I’m fine. I don’t need to be hospitalized.”
“It’s already six o’clock. You’ll be mine from now on.”
Roderick pressed Melanie onto the bed and said to her expressionlessly.
“I’m really fine. I just got kicked a few times and it’ll recover in a few days.”
“Stop moving, or I’ll kiss you,” Roderick said and leaned over.
Melanie blushed at once and didn’t dare to move anymore.
“Mela…”
Roderick sat by the bed and said to Melanie softly.
“I’m sorry.”
Hearing this, Melanie’s eyes instantly turned moist.
Melanie held back her tears, widened her eyes, and suppressed her emotions.
“Seven years ago, it was my fault. At that time… Ahem. I shouldn’t have done that to you and let you raise Elias alone for so many years.”

Melanie could smell Roderick’s refreshing smell, and his deep voice sounded so charming.
Melanie couldn’t bear it anymore. Her eyelashes trembled and then tears rolled. down her face.
Tears rolled down to the pillow.
“Mela…”
Roderick sighed and wiped away the tears near Melanie’s ear with his warm fingers.
Melanie closed her eyes and said nothing, looking like a sleeping porcelain doll.
Melanie thought, ‘It was just a deal back then. He doesn’t have to apologize.
After being kept in the hospital all night, Melanie couldn’t stand it anymore.
While Roderick was out looking for the doctor, Melanie quickly packed up and went back to the Harbour Villa:
As soon as Melanie entered the door, she heard Angie acting in the living room.
“You won’t know how cool my cousin–in–law was. With a bang, he drove a Hummer and broke in.
“Then he walked over like this. Wow, he was like an angel.”
“Who is your cousin–in–law?”
Hearing the voice, Angie sneaked into the kitchen awkwardly.
“I’ll explain it to you later. I’ll get you a glass of water first. Here you are.”
“Sorry for being unable to rescue you in time, Ms. Robertson.”
Melanie looked at Darrin who was standing in front of her. He had a scar on his eyebrows, looking cold and murderous.
Melanie remembered that her uncle announced in front of everyone that she would be the eldest daughter of the Thomas family soon after she arrived on the island at that time.

Angie was one year younger, so she was the second one.
Melanie originally thought it was not good, but she didn’t expect that the whole. Thomas family really regarded her as a member of them.
Even Angie herself had no problem with it at all.
“I was careless this time.” Melanie paused for a second and then said, “How’s Grandpa?”
“Mr. Thomas was worried about you, Ms. Robertson.”
Hearing this, Melanie immediately thought of her grandpa’s grey hair. She had an impulse to cry.
“I’m fine.”
“Melanie, have some water.”
Angie finally couldn’t bear it and walked out of the kitchen, looking lively again.
Melanie took the glass, put it down, and then grabbed Angie’s hand. “Come with
me.”
They went to the study and sat down face to face.
“Angie, I really have to thank you this time.”
“Don’t bother,” Angie said embarrassedly. “You should thank that person.”
“Angie, why don’t you go back to the island? I’m afraid…”
Before Melanie could finish her words, Angie kept shaking her head.
“No, no, no. I’ll never leave. Every time you can’t see, someone has to be with you…
Then Angie suddenly said in surprise, “Melanie, have you noticed that your eyes recovered quickly in the past two times?”
Melanie was stunned for a second and then thought of Roderick.
“Maybe they’re about to recover.”
“That’ll be great!”
Angie was delighted but then suddenly fell silent. The two of them just sat there quietly.
After a long while, Angie hugged Melanie.
“Melanie, I got it. I know why you said it was impossible for you and Roderick to be together. Do you think he’s no different from the people who hurt you?”
Melanie slightly trembled and kept silent..
“But Roderick was also set up back then, not to mention this time.”
“Angie, I know what you mean, but I don’t want to talk about it now. Don’t bring it up again.”
Angie muttered in a low voice, “Why? It’s better to have one more person to help you!”
But Melanie glanced at her and then she didn’t dare to say anything more.
The next day, all the major websites and newspapers in Beloris published the news about Ryan and William.
Roderick Lambert chopped off Ryan Smith’s hand and broke his knees because he molested a woman.
The Smith family’s secret place in Beloris was exposed.
Smith Media Group’s stock price evaporated more than ten billion dollars. overnight.
It was said that Vanessa Robertson, who had been close to William Smith before, faked her pregnancy and fooled the Smith family.
William beat her into a coma and also broke three of her ribs and her nose.
Melanie looked through the news silently and thought of what Ryan said that day, ‘Your mother passed away at a young age. Don’t you want to know the secret behind it?‘
“Darrin, go find out how the Smith family started to contact the Robertson family, and if it is related to my mother’s death.”
