My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 217

Melody listened in total silence, her expression giving nothing away.

This woman could turn on the waterworks at the drop of a hat. She definitely had some skills.

But Melody didn't care about Sienna's sob story. She didn't want Sienna's sincerity; she only wanted her hatred for Seraphina.

"Sienna," Melody began, her voice smooth and measured.

"Have you ever stopped to think why Seraphina was able to act so recklessly at that press conference? It wasn't just because she held the patent rights."

"It was because she had Lucian Langford and the entire Langford empire backing her up."

Sienna nodded furiously, eager to agree. "You're absolutely right."

"That's the only reason I can't touch her! She has the Langfords protecting her, and I have nothing."

Melody's lips curled into a faint, calculating smile. "But you have something now, don't you?"

Sienna's eyes widened with hope, testing the waters. "Melody... do you mean you're willing to help me?"

Inwardly, Melody scoffed. If it weren't for the mutual benefit, she wouldn't be caught dead sitting across from someone like Sienna.

But outwardly, she kept her smile warm and encouraging. "Yes."

Sienna's heart practically exploded with joy.

She immediately went into sycophant mode. "Melody, I promise I'll do whatever it takes to help you!"

"I'll help you snatch Lucian right out of that bitch's hands!"

"I know the two of you had a secret romance back in the day. You're the real golden couple. Who the hell does Seraphina think she is?"

Melody's smile faltered, a flash of annoyance crossing her features.

She quickly corrected the narrative. "Sienna, you misunderstand."

"Lucian and I grew up together. Our families are close friends. That's all there is to it."

Sienna blinked, her face flushing with sudden embarrassment.

"Grandma Eleanor practically raised me. The Langfords treat me like blood. How long has Seraphina even been in the picture? She can't compete with me."

Melody spoke with casual arrogance. "The reason I'm telling you this is because I want to help you. I heard you're trying to marry into the Sullivan family. I can make that happen."

"I know all about the patent Seraphina is holding over their heads."

"New energy is the hottest sector on the market right now. The Sullivans are smart to pursue it, but they're going about it the wrong way."

"Seraphina isn't the only one with access to that technology."

"The Monroe family has massive operations in that sector. If Sebastian is willing, we can discuss a partnership."

Sienna's heart hammered wildly against her ribs.

If she could pull this off, she could save Sebastian, secure her marriage, and completely ruin Seraphina's leverage all at once. It was the ultimate victory.

"Melody, Sebastian would jump at the chance!"
