themselves.
Some of them even started crying because of how worked up they were.
After all, they had hoped that the performance fees would improve their families‘ situations. But the Graham family had canceled the performance, just like that! What should they do?!
As she heard the dancers cry, Yelena’s face turned paler. As she clenched her fists, she asked, “Why are they canceling it?”
No matter how good–tempered the leader was, Yelena’s persistent questioning made her expression darken further, and she snapped, “How would I know?! They just said that one of their guests got injured because of dancing and doesn’t want to see any dances!”
Most of the dancers were newcomers or had never joined the practice then, so they did not know that the guest the leader mentioned was Melea.
Yelena’s mind went blank. By the time she realized it, she was already outside. The afternoon sun pierced her eyes, but she acted as if she could not feel it. While feeling numb all over, she headed home and ran into Samuel, who was just about to head out.
“Where are you going?” she instinctively asked.
“None of your business.” Samuel did not care about her and continued heading out.
Just now, Martha received an invitation to Ivan’s birthday.
Samuel was not supposed to go, but he overheard Martha telling Francis that Philip York’s daughter was also attending.
Ever since that day, everyone knew Philip York’s daughter was Melea.
When he realized he could finally see the person he loved, he could care less about anything else. He wanted to sneak over to the Graham family to try his luck and see whether he could meet Melea.
At his words, fury burned in Yelena. “What do you mean, it’s none of my business?! I’m your wife!”
Samuel froze before he turned around. “We haven’t collected our marriage certificate, and we never fully exchanged our vows. You’re not my wife!”
He no longer spared her another glance and left.

Yelena bit down on her lip and followed after him.
She knew why he was in such a hurry. He must be going to meet Melea!

Alexander brought Melea and Solomon around town for fun for a long time, and they only went back when they had their fill of excitement.
But as soon as they reached the gate, Melea saw that familiar figure.
From the moment Melea gave up on Samuel, she no longer wanted to see him.
Hence, she instinctively prepared to take another path into the house, but Samuel immediately noticed her.
“Melea!”
Melea sighed. She still did not manage to avoid him.
She turned around and gave Samuel a cold look.
Samuel instinctively wanted to hug her, but the two men in front of Melea blocked him.
In the past, Samuel would have asked them to get out of his way, but he no longer had the status to do so.
Besides, one of these men was Ivan’s grandson, and he could not get on his bad side.
“Why do you want to speak to my cousin?”
Solomon glared at him coldly. He had heard about all that Samuel had done to Melea. Before they came to Sommerset, Olivia had also repeatedly reminded him to be on guard against the Foster family, especially Samuel and Yelena.
