Chapter 750: Kneel
He had already made up his mind. If it was a son, then the Quinn Corporation would be handed over to them, and he could focus on spending time with his young wife, traveling around the world.If it was a daughter, then he would make sure to watch over her closely and see which man would dare make advances on her.
The two of them went downstairs, and Lady Sila and Howard Seymour also approached.
"Mom, Dad," Melody Thorne ran over, "why are you here?"
Lady Sila gave her daughter a reproachful look and huffed, "Something big like this happens, and you don’t think to call us? Do you really need to sit there getting cursed at online? Your dad almost smashed the computer when he saw you being insulted. You’re pregnant; if you can avoid dealing with things yourself, then do so, understand?"
Melody Thorne sat on the sofa, and the butler brought over breakfast.
"Don’t worry, I know. Those little things don’t bother me. You should trust your daughter’s abilities."
"Trust is one thing, but it’s a matter of timing. Right now, you need to take care of yourself, understood?"
"Got it, got it," Melody Thorne replied nonchalantly while eating breakfast.
Lady Sila gave her an exasperated look and turned to speak to her son-in-law.
"Madam, a woman outside claims to be from the Seymour Family and wants to see you," the butler came in from outside.
"Who is it?"
"She says she’s Stella Seymour."
Melody Thorne paused slightly at the mention, recalling Stella Seymour’s attempt to drug her before. Her expression turned cold. "I won’t see her."
"Understood."
"What’s wrong, Melody?" Lady Sila noticed her unease. "Did she bully you? Tell Mom, and I’ll bully her back."
Melody Thorne couldn’t help but laugh, "No, Mom, who can bully me? I just don’t like seeing Stella Seymour."
Then she turned to Howard Seymour, "Dad, isn’t the Seymour Family not allowed to wander around like this? What is Stella Seymour doing here?"
"Ignoring family rules means a month of confinement," Howard Seymour said. He was familiar with several of his nieces, and Stella Seymour’s temper and ambition were the worst.
"Madam, she says she won’t leave; she’s here to see Mr. Seymour."
"Let her in then," Melody Thorne wiped her hands. She was curious to see what Stella Seymour wanted after how she had treated her last time.
"Understood."
Stella Seymour walked in wearing a long dress. As soon as she saw Howard Seymour, she knelt down. "Uncle, I disregarded the family rules, so I apologize, but I have my reasons. Please give me a month. After a month, I will return to face punishment."
Stella Seymour’s kneeling surprised Melody Thorne, and she raised an eyebrow, watching with mild interest.
"You should know that after a month, the punishment won’t just be as simple as facing the wall in reflection."
After all, she was still his niece, so Howard Seymour’s attitude wasn’t too harsh.
"I know, so Uncle, I’m willing to accept the punishment; I just hope that during this month, you won’t let anyone catch me." Stella Seymour looked up as if there was something she truly needed to do.
"Get up first. Can Uncle know what it is you’re dealing with?" Howard Seymour spoke with a kind yet authoritative tone.
Stella Seymour bit her lip, glancing at Melody Thorne sharply, "Does Uncle not know? The man who once saved you, Hans Montrose, doesn’t have long to live. For your daughter’s and your sake, he has sacrificed a lot. Given that he nearly became my fiancé, I’ve decided to save him."
