Chapter 287

Chapter 287

The next morning. Kenneth had to take care of some company matters, so he left early

After he left, Melody came downstairs. While she was being served breakfast by the servants, she gave her brother Jansen Princeton a call.

Jansen arrived very quickly. When he saw the luxurious vacation villa Melody was staying in, his eyes were filled with envy and greed

“This place is so much better than the small villa we live in. Look at this scenery and pool! Tsk, tsk! It must have cost at least a few million dollars!”

After saying that, he leaned towards Melody with a wicked smile. My dear sister, why don’t you get Mr. Harper to transfer this villa to your name! This way, our family can move to a bigger place!”

Melody shot him a glance and said with a sarcastic smile, “Under my name? Or under yours?”

“Isn’t it the same? We’re family after all!” Jansen replied.

In Jansen’s eyes, his younger sister should do this for him as a matter of course.

Since Kenneth Harper was going to marry his sister sooner or later, what was wrong with gifting a small property to his future brother–in–law?

Melody did not want to criticize him. She did not even mock him. Instead, she agreed to his request, much to Jansen’s surprise.

“Sure, you can have it.”

“Are you serious, Melody? Are you really giving me this vacation villa?”

“Didn’t you say that we’re family? You’re my biological brother. I can only rely on you so I have to treat you well.”

Melody’s words pleased Jansen immensely. Simply thinking about the immediate and future benefits alone made him grin from ear to ear.

“Go on, tell me. Did you encounter some difficulties again? Don’t worry, Melody. I’ll definitely help you. After all, we’re family!”

“There is something I need you to do.”

Melody beckoned to her brother. “Come here.”

Jansen immediately leaned forward as she whispered to him.

A moment later, he almost jumped up from his seat, his face filled with shock. “Melody, you’re out of your mind!”
