My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 340 - Don’t Interrupt!

Mellisa closed her eyes gasping for breath. She struggled to calm the burning pain from her wound.

Leila's face was covered in bruises after being hit with a bag filled with thick documents. The woman's left cheek scratched the edge of her bag, revealing a streak of red. The bag fell off and its contents were scattered on the floor.

Leila opened her mouth to protest Mellisa's harsh treatment of her. But before she said anything, her eyes were fixed on one of the documents scattered on the floor. The document was a bank credit card receipt, signed in the name of Daniel Pangestu.

At this moment, the pain Mellisa was feeling eased up a little. She opened her eyes again before looking at Richard and Janice.

Then Mellisa said slowly, "Mom and dad don't have to worry. I just threw the bag of documents at Leila. She won't die just because of that, so you don't have to look so depressed,"

"Mellisa, you..." Janice frowned with an expression of disapproval, but she couldn't argue with her daughter. Janice looked away from Mellisa's cold eyes and couldn't hold back her tears.

Mellisa smiled mockingly when she saw her mother's reaction. Janice always loved and cared for Leila, who had been weak since childhood. Mellisa reached out and grabbed Lilia's hand from her side.

"I've never had a snake-hearted sister like Leila," Mellisa said firmly. "In all my life, I only acknowledge Lilia as my sister,"

Mellisa ignored the excitement that arose from her words. She gently squeezed Lilia's hand before directing her gaze to Leila.

"Hey, didn't you just say that you only recently met the Pangestu Family?" Mellisa said harshly. "Then try to explain to everyone here about this,"

Mellisa pointed to the credit card document that had caught Leila's attention.

"Then why are there so many records of assets and real estate purchases from Daniel Pangestu's card under your name for fourteen years?"

Leila looked up with a shocked expression. How did they know about that?!

"Don't talk nonsense!" Sylvia couldn't help herself. "Daniel Pangestu is my son. He also has money on his card. We gave him the card ourselves. What has Daniel got to do with Leila?" she demanded.

At this time, Lilia took out the document containing the checking account from the floor and read it a little. She said with a meaningful smile, "Four years ago, Daniel was only sixteen years old. Plus, he never came to Jakarta. And this card was indeed made at the bank's Surabaya branch. Is it true that the details of the transactions and money in this account shows how much you spent so far?"

Lilia waved the savings' book while watching Sylvia's reaction. As expected, Sylvia nodded confidently.

"Yes, it is true!" She answered loudly.

Lilia nodded to herself and continued her questioning. "Then, is it true that you used Daniel Pangestu's credit card six years ago to buy an apartment?"

"Correct!" Sylvia answered confidently

Lilia laughed sarcastically. "Then since these are all yours, why is the name of the apartment owner Miss Leila?"

Sylvia was dumbfounded when she heard that! She was trapped by Lilia's simple question earlier!

Even Robert joined in firmly squeezing the armrest of the chair. His eyes were filled with worry and panic. He swept his gaze across the documents strewn on the floor. There were countless bank records. But there were other documents there too.

One of them was the DNA test results. The document caught Richard's eyes as he was sitting nearby. The man took a step forward to retrieve it, but Leila suddenly knelt on top of the report.

Just like before, Leila shouted again, "Sorry! I'm really sorry! Grandpa, Father, Mother, I lied to you!"

Richard, who was bending down to pick up the document, stopped. The DNA test results were already so close to his hand, but Leila blocked it. In addition, the daughter was crying so hard that it was hard to ignore.

The head of the Irwan Family did not have the heart for Leila, who he had nurtured so carefully like a treasure in the palm of his hand over the years. He sighed softly and opened his mouth to calm Leila down.

But Mellisa's patience ran out when she saw Leila's deliberate action. Her strength that came out of nowhere made her jump up from her chair. Even though she was wearing a dress, she still lifted her leg and kicked Leila in the stomach.

"Shut the hell up!" She harshly rebuked.

This was the reason why Mellisa was not very favored in the Irwan family, which was an educated family. Mellisa's careless and unruly character made even her own parents give up. She spoke so harshly, unlike Leila with her high etiquette.

Actually, these were also the things that made Mellisa the most straightforward person in the Irwan family. But since she couldn't behave properly, she couldn't get help from the adults in her family. They all sided with Leila, who was an obedient and sweet child.

Richard stood stunned as he watched Leila being kicked to the ground by Mellisa. It seemed Leila was just as shaken as Richard, because she stopped crying at once. But Richard's face suddenly turned dark.

After all, Leila was still the daughter he cared and loved for many years. What's more, there were outsiders present here. He didn't want to make others look down on his family for raising a bully like Mellisa.

Richard stared coldly at his oldest daughter and asked in a low, serious voice, "Mellisa, what are you really trying to do here?"

After Mellisa kicked Leila, her knees went limp. If Lilia didn't catch her in time, the woman would have fallen to the floor. But Mellisa ignored her father's cold stare. She fixed her gaze at the DNA test results lying on the floor.

"Dad, are you not planning to read that report? Don't you want to know, which child have you neglected for 24 years? Do you intend to turn your face away from the fact that the child who should receive all your affection is brought up without love by another family?" Mellisa asked in a voice that was no less serious.

"W-What did you say?!" Janice got up from her chair in shock. Her face said that it was hard to believe. Suddenly, the conversation she had with Jenny before coming to this hall flashed through Janice's mind. Was it possible…?

Mellisa leaned against Lilia and bit her lip until it bled to prevent herself from fainting. The pain from her injuries was becoming more and more difficult to ignore, but Mellisa's job here wasn't finished. Everything would be in vain if she collapsed here now.

The short haired woman closed her eyes and took a deep breath before continuing her words. "Leila has been supported by the Pangestu Family couple with their own money since fourteen years ago. They have supported Leila for many years. Do you know that your extraordinary daughter has spent almost 80 billion Rupiah?"

Richard and Janice both gasped when they heard that. Judging from the many scattered bank records, they had no reason to doubt that.

"Where do you think all that money comes from?" Mellisa opened her eyes and grinned with a mocking expression.. "The daughter you are so proud of makes your own biological daughter to be sold in a contract marriage to cover all her expenses. Isn't this very ironic?!"
