Chapter 213: Against the Pretender

As she saw everyone gather around, Reagan thought of something and walked up to the stage,
holding Devian's hand tightly.

In the eyes of outsiders, Reagan was just helping to mediate the fight, and it was rare that she dared to
go up at this time.

Reagan pulled Devian's hand and continuously persuaded.

"Devian, let's just forget it."

After she said this, she turned around and looked at Melody politely.

"Melody, Devian even brought her dance costume today.You don't have to rehearse for the whole
afternoon, right? I remember that there are five or six sets of rehearsals every afternoon.I think you can
give some of that time to Devian.As for me, it doesn't matter whether I can practice or not!"

Reagan was really good at misleading people.

She made Melody look bad, saying that she took up five or six people's chances to practice at the
stage.

At the same time, she made herself look nice and tried to win over Devian.

She was really awesome at this kind of thing.

The more Devian heard Reagan's words, the angrier she became.

She looked at Melody with disgust and said in a strange tone.

"Reagan, why are you always speaking up for her? It's clearly her fault! As expected, she is a wild child
who grew up in the countryside, and no one cares about her.She is an uneducated girl who knows



nothing about the unspoken rules in the upper class!"

"What are you talking about?"

Luke exploded in anger even before Melody did.

Luke was an orphan.

If not for Melody, he would not be where he was today.

And what he hated the most was others saying that he was a wild child.

Likewise, he could never let others say that to Melody at all.

When he saw that Luke was about to rush over, Lance quickly stopped him.

Others might not know where Luke's anger came from, but he did.

So many things that had happened before, but Reagan had been silently stirring up trouble again.

She might look soft and weak on the outside, but she was a typical pretender, hiding her real agenda
by making herself look pitiful.

Every time she came out to cause trouble, she would find someone to take the blame for her.

In the beginning, Lance felt indifferent towards Reagan.

After all, he was unfamiliar with her and could not understand her.

However, now that he knew her, he felt that this woman was too scheming and annoying.

Lance had stopped Luke because he felt that he should not do anything to a woman as a man.



But that did not mean he liked Reagan and Devian at all.

When he heard Devian's arrogant words, Lance also became furious.

He pointed at Devian's nose and scolded, "If you dislike people from the countryside, why don't you
think about the days when the Cadman family used to shine people's shoes to get money?"

The Cadman family was not rich from the beginning.

Devian's grandfather was a poor little guy who used to shine shoes for others when he was a child.

He only became rich after becoming successful as a toilet salesman after shining shoes.

The Cadman family had always disliked this part of their past.

Not many people in California knew about it, but some people in the upper circles were aware of it.

However, everyone usually respected the Cadman family enough not to mock them about their past.

This time, however, Devian had thoroughly provoked Lance.

As a result, he directly revealed this scandal to the public.

In an instant, the crowd burst into laughter.

Everyone knew that the Cadman family started as nothing, but they did not expect that Devian’s
grandfather would clean people’s shoes when he was still a child.

Devian also did not expect that Lance would reveal this scandal at this time.

If it were said by others, she could still refute it.

But it was Lance.



With the power of the Harrison family, there was no need for him to lie like this, Devian's face was red,
and she was stunned in place.

She was so angry that she almost fainted.

When Reagan saw that Devian had been defeated, she wanted to step forward for her.

Unexpectedly, Lance had already seen through her little thoughts and directly pointed her out.

"And you! Don't think I don't know that you always pretend to look delicate and weak, looking as if
everyone is bullying you.Don't assume everyone's so stupid that they can't see through your little
thoughts!"

Then Lance added, "We are going to rehearse for the entire afternoon, and everything will be done
according to the official procedures.Don't use your tricks to fool us.I won't bite it!"

After Lance finished speaking, Clifford immediately added, "Yes, we followed the regular
procedures.Our five teams have applied for the reservation, but we don’t want to practice for the time
being.We will give our rehearsal time to Melody and her group.Do you have a problem with our
decision?"

In order to occupy the stage for the whole afternoon, Clifford specially arranged four or five teams to
register.

They did not take the schedules by force but rather gathered all their team's time just to watch Melody
and her group perform.

After Lance and Clifford finished speaking, the people present also had some comments.

However, their dissatisfaction was directed at Reagan and Devian, not Melody and the others.



"How dare they talk about others when the two of them would cut the queue any time they wanted? I
was forcefully droved out of here before by them.So how can they say these things to others?"

"That's right! We volunteered to give our training time to Lance.What does it have to do with them?
They are clearly trying to be righteous for their own selfish desires! How disgusting!"

"To think that they would accuse people of stealing others’ rehearsal times when they were the ones
who pioneered it.The one surnamed Cadman is usually famous for being overbearing.Now she's
making it seem as if no one knows about it!"

When she saw that the situation was unfavorable to her, Devian also completely lost her will to fight
because of Lance's great killing move.

There was no other way for them to go out of this situation.

Reagan could only pull Devian away from the scolding range of everyone.

Perhaps, the two of them had never been so embarrassed in their lives like this.

Luke was originally angry because Lance stopped him and made him lose his chance to teach Devian
a lesson.

However, he did not expect Lance to fight their opponent in a much better way.

As he looked at the two idiots running away, Luke could not help but reach out and pat Lance on the
shoulder.

"Sure, boy, you are not polite at all.Your tongue is vicious.I like it!"

Lance rolled his eyes at Luke, turned around, and walked around to adjust his guitar.

His attitude instantly angered Luke.



This stinking brat! Did he want to fight? He angrily rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go all out
against Lance.

But when he looked up, he saw the look in Melady’s eyes.

When he thought that Melody did not want them to cause any more trouble, his anger immediately
vanished.

He became a deflated ball and did not dare to be rash.

In the end, he just said, "Boss, I'll go prepare the drums!"

After he finished speaking, he obediently ran away.

The two annoying people, Reagan and Devian, had left.

Those who were present were the people who wanted to see Melody and the others rehearse.

Last time, they hired people to enliven the atmosphere, and it was awesome.

This time, the entire audience recorded their performance live online.

Everyone was looking forward to it.

The people immediately felt excited and intoxicated when they heard the start of the rehearsal.

Melody's voice was like the sound of nature, piercing through everyone's heart.

"Oh my god! How can someone sing so well?"

"That's right! This song is really good.What's its title? Who is the original singer?"

"All of you, shut up! Don't disturb us from listening to the music!"



Melody and her group's performance ended with everyone's amazement and appreciation.

It was the first time they saw the complete performance of this song.

Not only were the audience shocked, but also Lance.

He really did not expect this song to be so good.

Clifford and the others finally snapped out of their daze and clapped wildly, hoping to hear it again.

Unfortunately, Melody suddenly put away the microphone and left.

Melody always wanted their performance to be perfect.

And she did not expect that this rehearsal would help her realize something.

It made her notice a small problem.

Although it was especially small, so small that it was almost invisible, she still wanted to correct it.

It would never be enough until it was perfect.

Everyone watched in disappointment as Melody left.

If Melody did not want to perform, who would dare to force her? But they all agreed that it was really
nice to listen to!
