Melody's gaze swept over the assembled guests, a playful smirk dancing on her lips. The mission notification pulsed in her mind, a constant reminder of the absurd task she was now obligated to fulfill. Insult the guests? Honestly, as if I needed a system to tell me how to behave.
She fixed her attention on Rosemary, who was still kneeling, her head bowed in a posture of abject submission. Melody tilted her head slightly, feigning curiosity.
"Darling Rosemary," Melody said, her voice dripping with saccharine sweetness.
"Still practicing your humility? It's rather endearing, in a pathetic sort of way." She paused, letting her words sink in before adding with a dismissive wave of her hand.
"Honestly, you look like a wilted flower desperately clinging to life."
{Okay! First insult down! But this Luna Green. Let me crush her!}
"Try to use my brother? My family doesn't bully dirty people like you," Melody said. Luna looked at Melody who wore a face mask that covered half of her face. During the three years Melody has been in a coma had been hospitalized, she had constantly suffered from fevers, infections, decreased vision, and severe headaches. However, despite the pain she had suffered, the young lady refused to cry out in pain, not even once. She was so strong that it made one's heart ache for her.
"Host host want to hear some gossip about these two scumbag Green Family gossip."
{Tell me! TangYuan, what did these two do?}
Audrey, Jasper, and Diego all waited for this gossip.
Melody savored the discomfort that rippled through the room as her first insult landed. Rosemary's shoulders slumped further, and a faint blush crept up her neck. It was a small victory, but a victory nonetheless.
{Easy peasy!} Melody thought, already anticipating the chaos to come.
She turned her attention to Luna and her parents, a predatory glint in her crimson eyes. TangYuan's eager promptings filled her mind, ready to spill the dirt on the Green family.
"Oh, where to begin with the Greens?" Melody mused aloud, feigning innocence.
"Let's see... Did you know that Mr. Green's 'importexport business' is actually a front for smuggling counterfeit goods? And Mrs. Green? Well, let's just say she has a rather… complicated," TangYuan said and Melody was speechless.
{Oh my gosh so disgusting, not only that these two killed three kids! Those kids who went missing holy shit holy shit isn't this the case my fourth brother a military officer investigating? The woman is known for taking kids and just cutting off their tongues. This is disgusting three kids lost their lives because of them! Luna is not innocent either! At the Green house though they are ordinary Luna likes torturing people and cutting off their body parts! These people are true criminals.}
Diego, Audrey, and Jasper were all speechless. Yes their fourth son William Montgomery was a military officer commander.
{TangYuan I remember in the novel weren't they called the Twisted White Painter! They use those people parts in painting disgusting disgusting! No wonder this book is twisted my goodness!}
TangYuan was not finished he threw another bomb shell at Melody.
Melody's crimson eyes blazed with a cold fury as TangYuan relayed the horrifying details of the Green family's crimes. The image of those missing children, their lives brutally extinguished, sent a shiver down her spine. The Twisted White Painter… the very name evoked a sense of unspeakable horror.
{Disgusting. Utterly disgusting.} Melody thought, her voice trembling with barely suppressed rage. She clenched her fists, fighting to maintain her composure. This wasn't some abstract plot device in a novel; these were real people who had suffered unimaginable pain and loss.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to regain control. The mission demanded she play the part of a callous manipulator, but she refused to let the Green family's depravity diminish her own sense of morality.
"Oh, where to begin with the Greens?"
"I wonder…" Melody said as she looked straight toward her brother and she rushed over and she hooked her arms around her older brother Diego.
"Big Brother! Big brother! I heard your little toy here had done bad things," Melody said with a grin on her face and Diego looked at his younger adoptive sister. He was ten years older than Melody but now able to hear her inner thoughts he found it amusing but also interesting does this mean that Melody can see the future? But she keeps saying in her inner voice this is some novel?
The sudden shift in Melody's demeanor was jarring. One moment she was casually insulting the Green family, the next she was practically clinging to Diego, her voice dripping with a saccharine sweetness that didn't quite reach her eyes. The gesture, coupled with her cryptic comment about his "little toy," left Diego thoroughly perplexed.
{Come big bro! Damn it! Can't he understand, call the police or something! Damn it, this brother should just write his will!} Melody's frantic inner voice echoed in his mind, adding another layer of confusion to the already bizarre situation. He found himself strangely captivated by his sister's newfound ability to broadcast her thoughts. Was she truly able to see the future? Or was this elaborate charade simply another one of her eccentricities?
Diego's decision to call the police surprised even Melody.
Diego's decision to call the police surprised even Melody. {Wow, this brother is awesome, knows how to handle it! Good thing Mum and Dad saved him, but now's not the time.} She mentally chided herself for her impatience, refocusing her attention on the unfolding drama.
"Guards, take these disgusting people out and come and take the rugs on the floor and the table and burn it! We don't care for trash dirt!" Melody commanded, her voice laced with a chilling indifference. The guards moved swiftly, escorting the sputtering Greens from the room while a team of servants began dismantling the lavish furnishings.
"You can't do this! You bitch!" Mrs. Green shrieked, lunging towards Melody in a desperate attempt to retaliate. But Melody was faster.
