Chapter 148: I'll Take You to School

In the blink of an eye, it was now their school anniversary, the first stage of the competition.

Their university was a school for the wealthy, and their school anniversary was the highlight of the
school year.

Whenever it was held, it would always be more extravagant than the previous year.

And this year was the tenth grand anniversary of the school, which meant that it would be even more
magnificent since it had been a whole decade since the school was founded.

People from different art universities had already expressed their intentions to choose talented people
during the school event.

Even Lance had been practicing overtime, finally had his efforts paid off when Melody approved of him
joining the team.

The school had permitted him not to wear his school uniform during the performance.

Lance had specially arranged for the best tailor to make him a new set of clothes, which perfectly
matched his guitar.

He was looking forward to today's event that Lance went straight downstairs and went out without even
eating breakfast.

Benjamin saw how Lance was acting and immediately called him out.

"Brat, why are you dressed like that? Are you planning to skip class?!"

He went as far as to stand in front of Lance to stop the latter from going out.

"Ack!"



Lance was startled.

"But Grandpa, I am going to class!" he replied.

Benjamin snorted and rolled his eyes at Lance with disdain.

"Dressed like that?" he asked suspiciously.

"You're even carrying a big black box on your back, and you're telling me you're going to class? Do you
think because I'm this old that you can easily fool me?"

Lance had always believed that his uncle shouldn't have done his best and made his grandfather retire
at such a young age.

Looking at his grandfather right now, Lance could tell that he could still manage the company for a few
more years.

That way, Benjamin wouldn't be able to bother him right now.

"It's our school's anniversary celebration, grandpa," Lance started to explain.

"And I'm part of a group.We'll be auditioning today, so I'm wearing this outfit.Our school even permitted
us to do so."

Lanced looked and sounded serious that Benjamin could only glance at the butler beside him.

The butler had been serving Benjamin for dozens of years, so he knew what Benjamin would ask with
just a glance.

As a person serving Benjamin, he paid attention to every small matter that the Harrison family had.

So the butler knew that Lance had been training hard at home for the previous weeks.



The butler gave Benjamin an affirmative nod which made Benjamin slightly curious.

It was rare for Lance to show such dedication to something he did.

Benjamin's eyes lit up with interest as he looked at Lance, and he asked, "Since you'll be performing,
do you want us to cheer for you? I'll immediately arrange a team of people to cheer you on!"

Cheer him on? Arrange a team of people? Those words reverberated in Lance's brain, and he
immediately felt some trouble brewing.

His grandfather didn't really think that Lance was still in kindergarten, did he? And that Lance was
merely performing in a kindergarten party? Worried, Lance rushed in front of Benjamin and said,
"There's no need for you to do that, grandpa.I’m in a band, and my bandmates’ parents aren't attending
at all.So you don't need to come.It's all fine!"

Lance knew that he couldn't refuse or refute Benjamin.

But if Lance didn't, then Benjamin would really pull a group of people to cheer him on.

It would be embarrassing if that ever happened! "Is that so?"

Benjamin said thoughtfully.Before Benjamin could decide whether to go or not, Seth spoke behind
them.

"Will Melody be there, too?"

It was rare for Seth, who never cared about any family matters, to suddenly ask Lance something like
this.

Everyone was shocked, and all eyes stared at Seth.Seth looked nonchalant as he glanced at the
people around, his obsidian eyes slowly falling on Lance.



His gaze was calm and emotionless, but Lance couldn't help but gulp at the intensity of Seth's gaze.

Lance stubbornly stood in front of Seth and didn’t say anything.He had no plans of talking to Seth about
Melody.

But in less than three seconds, Lance squeaked out.

"Yes!"

"Then, I'll take you to school!" Seth announced.

He casually wiped his hands, stood up, and fixed his clothes as he looked at Lance.

Lance was furious! He was angry at Seth.

But Lance didn't dare to show any emotion in front of Seth and he forced himself to calm down.

Lance was old enough to go to school on his own.He didn't need anyone to send him to school.

Yet Seth happily volunteered to send him there! Lance instantly realized that Seth only wanted to send
him to school because he wanted to see Melody.

The thought of Melody being targeted by Seth made him annoyed and unhappy.

Lance complained, but he still obediently followed Seth outside.

It was one of the Harrison Family's rules.

The words of the family head were law.

No matter who it was, they had to unconditionally follow the family head's words.

Benjamin was left alone at the dining table.



Watching the two younger men go, he silently fell into deep thought.

He never thought that his youngest son would show such an emotion one day.

It was rare and was quite a surprise to see.

When Lance mentioned a woman's name, he noticed that Seth's gaze momentarily became gentle.It
was unusual.

There was probably another good show worth watching that Benjamin must see, It was a rare
opportunity!

"Go and check this Melody!" Benjamin said to the butler.

The butler answered, "Yes, Sir!"

Seth drove Lance to the school gate, but before Lance got out of the car, he reminded Seth.

"The Boss usually comes to school by the bell every day.We came early today, so there's no way we
would meet Boss right now!"

Lance had deliberately asked Austin to drive fast and didn't remind Seth what time Melody went to
school.He didn't exactly want his uncle to meet Melody after all.He had always felt that Seth wasn't
suitable for her! Lance knew in his heart that Seth was an outstanding person, and no one could defeat
him so easily.

But his uncle was also a businessman, and he had the savage and treacherous nature of a
businessman engraved in his bones.He was a cunning fox, and no one else could ever match him.

Melody was different, although she was also extraordinary and outstanding, she was more like a fairy.



In a way, Seth had already expected such a trick from Lance.

There was no way Seth wouldn’t know what Lance was thinking, but he wasn't in the mood to argue
with his nephew.

Before Lance could say anything else, Austin had already opened the car door beside him and waited
for Lance to get out.

"Sir Lance, please!" Austin insisted very gently.

The meaning behind Austin’s words was not lost on Lance.

He understood very well that he was now being chased out of the car, but he didn’t mind.He had
achieved his goal, and he felt really pleased with himself! Lance had thought of everything.

But what he didn’t account for was how much Seth cared about Melody.

After Lance entered the school, he took another glance at the school driveway and saw Seth's car still
in the same place.

It seemed that his uncle wasn't playing on leaving empty-handed at all.

As a result, Lance felt exasperated and annoyed.

Just as Lance said, Melody appeared five minutes before the bell rang.

Austin was the first person that Melody saw.

It was impossible to miss him since he was standing next to a black car.It only meant that Seth was
somewhere near.

After all, Austin was Seth's shadow.



Wherever Austin or Seth was, the other would also be around.

Melody took an appreciative glance at the black car and noticed that it was a different brand from
Seth's previous car.

This time, it was a Ferrari.

The man really liked to show off, but his unique preference in color was still the same.

Melody had never seen Seth's car with any colors other than black.

The moment Melody turned around and walked towards the car, Seth got off the car and stood by the
side of the car, waiting for Melody to approach.

When Melody finally reached him, she raised an eyebrow, and her indifferent eyes fell on Seth.

"What are you doing here?" Melody asked.

There was no warmth nor joy in Seth's eyes, but they were no longer as cold and as unapproachable
when he talked to strangers.

It was already a rare sight reserved only for Melody.

Seth took his time to answer as he reached out for the food box that Austin handed over.

Then, he placed the box in Melody's hands.

"Here, your breakfast!" he said as an answer.

'He came all the way here just to send me breakfast?’ Melody thought.
