Chapter 116
Melody knew that this unfounded crime was not enough to warrant her detention.
However, if Janet used her connections. locking Melody up for ten days to half a month and leaving a stain on her life would be a piece of cake for Janet.
Therefore, it was still too easy for Janet to get down on her knees
Seeing that Janet was silent, Melody stepped forward. She asked. “How is it? Have you thought about where to kneel?”
“Melody!” Janet bit her lower lip hard. The pain and humiliation made her eyes tear up.
She had always been an existence that everyone looked up to and doted on by her parents. Outside, she was a genius girl. She had never suffered such humiliation.
She looked up at Ken with tears in her eyes. “Ken… She forced me to get down on my knees….
From her tone, those who did not know better would think that Melody was the one who was looking for trouble first.
Melody also looked at Ken. She wanted to know if Ken would help Janet
However, she never thought Ken would stand on her side at all. After all, he and Janet had been “inseparable from his university days, and Janet was his right–hand man in his career
If it were Melody, she might have chosen to speak up for Janet.
However, in the next moment…
Ken opened his lips and said expressionlessly, “Janet. You agreed to get down on your knees to apologize.”
In other words, since she had agreed to get down on her knees to apologize, she had to do it.
Janet’s face turned pale and her heart ached.
If Ken has any feelings for me, he won’t watch me get down on my knees and do nothing. I’ve worked so hard for so many years, but in Ken’s heart. I’m just an unimportant collaborator, right? Thinking of it, Janet was angry and sad. She regretted calling Ken over.
With Ken as a witness, if she went back on her word now, it would only make Ken look down on her even more.
didn’t want things to turn out that way.
Janet met Melody’s half–smiling gaze, and the hatred in her heart had grown from a small seed to a towering tree.
“Isn’t it just getting down on my knees and apologizing! I’ll do it However, I swear I’ll get back at Melody for today’s humiliation! With that in mind, Janet bent her knees and was about to get down on her knees to Melody.
But just as her knees were about to touch the ground, a foot suddenly reached out in front of her.
Before she could react, she knelt on the shoe.
She could not help but be stunned. She subconsciously looked up and met Melody’s clear and cold eyes.
Melody’s face was ugly, but her eyes were unbelievably beautiful,
However, no matter how good–looking the eyes were, since they were Melody’s, they would be extremely disgusting and hateful in Janet’s eyes

“What do you mean?” Janet was confused.
She was already on her knees, so she wondered why Melody reached out her foot.
Melody shrugged and reached to pull up Janet, kneeling on her foot. She said, “I’ve thought about it. It seems a little too much to make you kneel. How about this? You don’t have to be on your knees anymore. You only have to compensate me for my losses
Janet’s expression turned even darker.
She asked, “What do you have to lose? I didn’t ask anyone to detain you!”
“Time! Time is money. Miss Murphy, you’re a top student. Haven’t you heard of this?” Melody patted Janet’s hand and said, *For mental damage and the time I wasted on you. I’ll give you a discount. 10 million dollars will do.”
“10 million dollars? Are you out of your mind? Janet was shocked
It was not that Janet could not afford the 10 million dollars, but she had gotten down on her knees and apologized just now. She couldn’t accept that she still needed to compensate,
“Even if I sell Melody, she is not worth 10 million dollars. She is not worthy! Janet thought furiously.
Melody smiled insincerely and said. “Don’t tell me you don’t even have 10 million dollars. Or do you want to get down on your knees and apologize again?”
“Tve already done that!” Janet blurted out.
“Is that so? I remember someone putting her knees on my foot just now, but I didn’t see you get down to the ground and apologize to me,” said Melody casually,
“You…” Janet was so angry that her face turned ashen.
She had never been good at arguing, so she naturally could not win against Melody,
“Alright!” Ken frowned and looked at Melody. “Let’s take it that Janet had apologized to you just now. As for the 10 million dollars, I’ll give it to you.”
“Sure,” Melody said indifferently, “Since Miss Murphy can’t afford 10 million dollars, it’s the same that you give it to me.”
“You. Don’t look down on me! It’s just 10 million dollars. I can afford in Melody’s provocation angered Janet successfully She could not stand this humiliation and immediately signed a 10–million–dollar check and threw it to Melody.
Melody did not mind Janet’s attitude. She carefully put away the check and waved her hand. “Since you’ve already compensated me for my losses, this matter will be written off. Goodbye!“
With that, she was about to leave.
It was almost time to get the medicine. Although Janet delayed her for over an hour, she didn’t lose out because she made 10. million dollars.
On the other end, Janet bit her lower lip and opened her mouth to explain to Ken. V
But she couldn’t come up with any explanation when she was about to speak.
She was indeed unreasonable… So, of course, there was no way to explain it.
Seeing Janet’s conflicted expression, Ken waved his hand and said. “You don’t have to say anything. I’ve always admired you at work, but today, you disappointed me.”

The word “disappointed made Janet become like a frosted eggplant, losing the last trace of life.
Her eyes were red, but Ken did not look at her as he walked away
Janet instinctively wanted to stop Ken, but she saw Ken walking Melody’s direction.
Her expression instantly became extremely dark.
Melody. I will let Ken see your true colors! Janet looked at Ken walking away and dialed a number with a cold expression.
The other party quickly picked up and a passionate female voice sounded. “Janet?”
Fairlee asked on the other end of the phone, “What did you suddenly call me for?”
“Ms. Lawrence.” Janet changed into a gentle tone and asked. “Are you busy now?”
“No, I’m not busy. I just finished a trial and am having coffee in my office. What can I do for you?” Fairlee asked gently,
“Here’s the thing. Ms. Lawrence. The last time I was in the hospital, you mentioned Melody. I bumped into her today and had a small conflict with her,” said Janet
“What?” Fairlee raised her voice and said. “She even dares to have a conflict with you? What a brainless village girl”
“Ms. Lawrence, I have an idea… that can help us vent our anger. Isn’t your birthday coming up soon? When the time comes, you can invite the Fox family over…” Janet told Fairlee her plan.
At the same time, on the side of the road.
Melody was about to take a taxi when Ken’s voice sounded behind her. “Wait?”
Melody originally wanted to ignore him but stopped after hesitating for a moment..
Today, Melody had refreshed her understanding of Ken. He seemed to be more reasonable than her.
Just based on this, Ken was far better than Ulric. She quite admired Ken.
If possible, she still wanted to ally with Ken. Even if she didn’t ally with him, she didn’t want to become enemies with Ken.
