Chapter 1277 Each Word Is True
Melody was startled to hear her son refusing decisively.
When she realized it, rage overpowered her. "You're ignoring the six years Wendy spent waiting to marry you so
you can date the woman who left you and her daughter! Did you ever think about Estie? Have you thought about
the reputation of the Lawrence family?"
Melody looked at her son angrily. 'The chairman of Lawrence Corporation wants to marry a woman with two kids.
That would be a disgrace to the Lawrence family. If others know that Jacobs woman is the daughter-in-law of the
Lawrence family, what do you think others will think of us?"
She would never allow such a disgraceful thing to happen to the Lawrence family.

However, Melody was his mother, so he did not do anything. All he did was answer coldly, "I don't care!"
Pissed off, Melody shouted, "What are you talking about?! You're messing with the reputation of the Lawrence
family!"
Byron lifted his eyebrow.
So what? He could risk it. Even if it would affect the Lawrence family's reputation, he had the confidence to do it.
However, he did not need to tell his mother that.
He felt his mother would not be able to take it in such a state of mind and might collapse out of anger.
Listening to his mother's nagging, Byron glanced at Wendy beside Melody coldly.
He wondered what this woman had told his mother.
As if noticing Byron’s gaze was on Wendy, Melody diverted the topic to Wendy.
"Wendy was kind enough to pick Estelle up. What did she do wrong? Her arm was weak to begin with, yet that
Jacobs woman hurt her again!”
Melody's anger was at its peak, and she wanted to grab Wendy's arm to show it to Byron.
She managed to keep herself calm and control her actions. Then, she continued questioning Byron, "Have you
forgotten how Wendy got hurt?"
"I didn’t forget," Byron said impatiently.
Melody wanted to continue questioning, yet Byron retorted.
"However, I haven't investigated how she got her injury. We have to look deeper into it. Maybe it wasn't because
she rescued you."

Byron’s sharp gaze fell on Wendy as though he wanted to see through her disguise.
Aware of his sight, Wendy's heart skipped a beat, and she clenched her palm to force tears to flow out of her eyes.
Melody looked at her son in disbelief. "I saw it myself! Stop saying things like that!"
Byron asked coldly, "Do you think it's impossible for the situation back then to be staged? Are you sure that every
word she says to you is true?"
Melody's and Wendy's expressions changed upon hearing that.
Melody was silent for a few seconds, and she hesitated.
After all, she did not trust Wendy fully.
She could not answer Byron's question firmly.
Finally, Melody changed the topic awkwardly. "If you have to break off the engagement with Wendy, give me a
reason I can accept! Otherwise, I'll never agree to it!"
Wendy could feel the hesitation in Melody's tone. She lifted her head in shock, and tears were still shimmering in
her eyes. It made her look sad and vulnerable.
