Chapter Remarry My 211
Chapter 211 Sibling Rivalries and Hidden Jealousies
Melanie was irritated by her son's maddeningly naive incence, almost to the point of foolishnesst. Luckily, the older generation's grudges did not spread too far to the younger generation over time. Although Alfred had suffered bullying from Felicity in private, he never held a grudge.
The only thing he'd stubbornly refused to do was call her "uster"
By the cold lakeside.
Ronald had long grown accustomed to Alfred's daily dose of mocking
He clarified patiently, "Mr. Alfred, I don't believe Mr. Shield is diving into the lake to pull up some big treasure vault
"There was a bit of dispute between Mr. Shield and the young mistress at the tea pavilion earlier, and the young mistress threw something into the lake, and that's what Mr. Shield went in to retrieve After he finished explaining, Ronald composed himself and sat dignifiedly by the lake, awaiting further questioning.
Of course. Alfred was soon bobbing his head with a smirk. Then that means whatever Melody tossed in must be worth a fortune!" Alfred mused.
"It could be the key to some huge stash of treasures!"
"Get someone to fish it out right away! We can't let an outsider nab such a prize before us," he ordered. leaning in with a sly grin
Ronald dabbed his forehead as if wiping away an imaginary bead of sweat before bowing politely
A second later, he turned to the team of bodyguards and commanded, "Alright, everyone, into the lake."
The bodyguard captain leaned over to Ronald, whispering suspiciously. "Weren't we supposed to just pretend on the shore!
"We're not supposed to dive in to save Timothy, right?
"Mr. Edward instructed us that if Timothy annoys Mr Melody, we're just here to put on a show for appearances. We're to let them handle things without interfering to keep up the Moore family's dignity" Even though Edward hard seemingly stayed out of sight since the couple entered Regal Glaste: he was fully aware of everything happening within it
Ronald sidestepped the clear-eyed gaze of Alfred, casting a shrewd, unreadable glance at the bodyguard captam before whispering back. "Mr Alfred only asked you to go down and soak in the lake. Nobody asked you to save anyone?

As for a treasure vault, Alfred didn't even need one.
It was just an excuse to anger Melody
As for why Alfred would want to help her, well, that was a curiosity Ronald dared not delve into
Enlightenment dawned on the bodyguard captain
Ah, so Alfred had immediately grasped Edward's deep devotion to Melody as soon as he returned to Regal
Glade.
This whole act of saving someone was to teach Timothy a more heart-wrenching lesson:
This was Alfred showing goodwill to Edward!
He turned to Alfred, giving him a respectful nod of admiration. "Mr. Alfred, you're brilliant. We'll go rescue' him right away!"
After that, he commanded the bodyguards into the cold lake, one after another, plunging in.
Alfred was dumbfounded, his confusion only growing,
What on earth do they think?
They're already spreading my orders without understanding it!
Alfred stomped, his face twisting in irritation. "You idiots! Who told you to save him?!"
Just as he was gearing up to make a scene, a figure appeared at the end of the corridor, strolling forward with an air of calm authority.
Sunlight poured through the hallway, casting a play of light and shadow across his features, a strikingly carved profile, a high nose bridge, and a bone structure as flawless as a classical painting. It was Edward.
Three years had passed since these half-brothers had last seen each other.
On the day Alfred had been sent abroad, Edward had been fighting for his life on an operating table.
Now, here he was, standing healthy, composed, and as poised as ever.
Seeing his brother alive and well, a strange pang hit Alfred, and his eyes stung, welling up almost instantly. Edward's gaze swept over him, his deep voice firm yet resonant. "Alfred, what mischief are you up to now?" The familiar voice made Alfred stunned.
The moment his eyes met Edward's cold and proud gaze, he looked away instantly, prideful as ever, his tone shifting to something cold and haughty. "Hmph. None of your business!"
He added, "If you're so free, why don't you go keep an eye on your dearest Melody?"
Ronald, barely holding back a smirk. Oh, oh, is Mr. Alfred actually jealous of Mrs. Melody?
