Chapter 1936 Over the years, Melody endured every emotional and physical abuse at her home. She had always done her best to show understanding and tolerance, but her family's insatiable greed only grew.
Thus, Melody could not bear another day of such a life.
She glanced at Wendy but ignored her, focusing instead on their biased, emotionally distant parents. "Alright, just tellhow much do you want. I'll pay you back every penny with interest for your so-called nurturance!" Helen and Ethan looked at each other before Helen held up three fingers." If you can cup with three million dollars, I'll consider things even between US. And you have my word we won't bother you with family matters anymore." 'Three million dollars? What a greedy bunch of b*stards!' thought Melody.

Nonetheless, giving them the three million dollars seemed to be her only way out. However, she could not possibly cup with three million dollars on her own. She had no choice but to borrow the money from a certain someone.
"Fine, just givea moment." After leaving the living room, Melody returned to the small room she used to live in and called Lucas.
The phone rang for a long twithout being answered. Just when she was about to lose hope, the call went through.
Lucas' indifferent voice cthrough the phone. "What's up?" Melody hesitated before speaking, "Um... Lucas, could you lendthree million dollars?" It was the best solution Melody could cup with. Besides this, she had no idea how else to cup with the three million dollars.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line. "I see your desire for money seems to be growing. What do you need three million dollars for?" Melody persistently said that she was not someone who cared about money, yet there she was-asking for three million dollars as if it was just chump change. She had never felt so humiliated at having to go back on her own words.
"No, Lucas. I have an urgent need for the money right now. I'll pay you back as soon as possible," said Melody uneasily.

She knew the Sanders would keep bothering her if she could not cup with three million dollars. She had had enough of those days. All she wanted at that moment was to break free from the Sanders as soon as possible and live a life for herself. Sensing her discomfort, Lucas could not help but becsuspicious. "Tellwhy you need three million dollars so urgently."
Melody did not plan to tell Lucas about the mess she had stumbled into. After all, they were not a real couple, and dealing with the Sanders was her own problem. She did not want to burden him with too much. However, given the circumstances, she would not be getting the three million dollars if she did not tell him the truth.
"Well, it's for my parents..." said Melody with a sigh. She then explained the whole situation to him, including why she had gone to see William last night.
"I just want to pay my parents the three million dollars they wanted so theytheranyLucas, I know it's a big sum, but please believewhen I say I'll pay you back." Truth be told, Lucas was not indifferent to Melody's plight.
