Chapter 2058 Beatrice wanted Stella to taste the food decided by Melody to make that ignorant woman thoroughly aware of Melody's position in the family.

After sthought, Melody suggested without reservation, "Let's go with the soup. I heard Grandpa coughing the other day, so chicken soup will be good for his health. As for the dessert, how about we go with something light like apple crumble? What do you think, Grandma?" Looking at the sensible Melody and caring so much about both herself and Cedric, Beatrice felt even more delighted. "I think that's a wonderful idea! I'm sure your Grandpa will be very happy to know you care so much about his health!" Melody's cheeks turned rosy, making her even more charming. "Grandma, caring for you and Grandpa is the least I should do!" Beatrice, increasingly satisfied with her granddaughter-in-law, said, "Your Grandpa and I will be able to die peacefully when the tcomes as long as you and Lucas get along well with each other." Melody quickly grasped her hand and said, "Grandma, what are you saying? No, no, no. You shouldn't say such things!" She panicked a little too much, causing her spit to fly all over the place as she spoke. She immediately regretted it.

"Grandma, I didn't mean to spit all over the place..." "Hahaha! Oh, my silly little girl." Beatrice's hearty laughter echoed from the kitchen.

'That old woman appears so kind all the time, so why does she turn into a witch whenever she's with me?' wondered Stella.

Stella stretched her neck to see what was going on in the kitchen but could not make anything out. The smile on her face almost froze, while Lucas continued to read his company's document.

"Lucas..." She shifted her position, preparing to get closer, but Lucas stood up. He impatiently adjusted his tie, and Stella stood up as well.

However, Lucas coldly said, "I need to attend a video conference. Miss Stella, please wait here. Edmund, cwithto the study." With that, he turned and walked away.

"Yes, Mister Lucas." Edmund did not spare Stella a glance even until he went upstairs.

The vast living room quickly becempty, leaving Stella alone. She picked up the nearby cushion and pummeled it a few times. Her actions caused quite a commotion, prompting a maid to run over to see what had happened.

"Oh dear, I accidentally knocked the cushion to the floor. I'll pick it up right away." Stella squeezed out a smile, picked up the cushion that had been pounded to the ground, and gently patted it.

The maid simply nodded and turned away, showing little concern for Stella as a guest.

As soon as the maid turned away, Stella's face immediately darkened.' Even a mere servant is disrespecting me? Beatrice must've instructed her to do so! That old lady will be better off dead soon!' Meanwhile, in the study...

Lucas sat still in his chair. He drummed his fingers lightly on the desk.

The air in the room becheavier, causing Edmund to feel suffocated.

As soon as Lucas mentioned the video conference, Edmund knew he would not be able to escape the consequences that were about to come.

"Is there anything you want to explain?" Lucas finally spoke, and a chill immediately ran down Edmund's ET spine. "What do you mean, Mister Lucas?"

Edmund carefully recalled all the work he had done He had completed e them as usual and on time, except... Lucas raised an eyebrow, "Have you forgotten who you work for? Letask you, who do you report to?" Edmund lowered his head. "You are, Mister Lucas." Seeing Edmund realize the issue, Lucas finally eased back, and the invisible pressure lifted from Edmund. "So why didn't you informbefore Grandma sent you to bring Stella hfor dinner?"
