It was not that Melody did not notice that Ulric had been paying attention to her.
However, she pretended not to notice anything and chatted and ate with Margaret with a normal expression.
She pretended to be concerned and asked Margaret, “Margaret, isn’t Ken coming back for dinner? I heard that he went to work at the Swanson Group’s headquarters. I wonder if he’ll be used to it…”
“He will be fine,” Margaret said firmly. “Ken has been outstanding since he was young. Whether it was his studies in school or his work after graduation, he has never disappointed me. I think he will do very well.”
Hearing this, Ulric narrowed his eyes coldly.
However, his expression disappeared in a flash and returned to his usual gentle appearance.
Melody clearly caught the cold expression on Ulric’s face from the corner of her eye.
She knew that she couldn’t be rash. She couldn’t sacrifice herself for revenge, so what she could do to Ulric now was to disgust him from time to time and expose his true colors bit by bit.
“He’s indeed an outstanding person.” Melody praised with a smile
Half of her words were sincere, a and the other half was deliberately said for Ulric to hear.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Ulric’s expression turn ugly again.
She thought, ‘Good…‘
The lunch finally ended.
After the meal, Melody carefully took Margart’s pulse again and confirmed that she had completely recovered. Then, she prescribed some prescriptions for recuperation and reminded her. “Although you’ve recovered, you still have to take the prescription for recuperation on time. Don’t eat anything else. IfI don’t say to change the medicine, the prescription can’t be changed. After about a month, I’ll change the prescription for you.”
Margaret held her forehead like a child. “I thought I wouldn’t have to drink medicine anymore after I recovered. Turns out b still have to
Melody smiled and comforted her. “You can drink it for another half a year at most. Then you won’t have to take any more medicine.
Only then did Margaret feel a little better.
che instantly thought of something else and signaled the servant to close the door with her eyes. Then, she held Melody’s hand and said, “Melody, since you’ve already registered your marriage with Ken, I’ll tell you something directly.”
“Go ahead.” Melody nodded, curious about what Margaret wanted to say to her.
Margaret said with a complicated expression, “You’ve been back in Silverlake for a while. You should have heard about what happened to Ulric’s leg, right?”
She thought, ‘So that is what she wants to say
Melody nodded. “I’ve heard a little
Margaret sighed heavily and said, “I’ve never asked Ken about that matter in detail. I admit that I have my own selfish motives. Even though I know that the two brothers don’t get along. I always turn a blind eye and lie to myself, telling myself
that this family is still harmonious.”
Melody listened patiently and nodded from time to time, but she did not interrupt
Margaret continued, “But I’ve always had my doubts about this matter. Even if the brothers didn’t get along, Ken wouldn’t have done such a thing. But at that time, there were witnesses and evidence. Ulric’s leg was indeed crippled… so I was confused. But there was always a voice in my mind telling me that this matter wasn’t that simple.”
Melody glanced at Margaret and asked in a low voice, “Are you telling me this because you want me to find out the truth?”
After a long silence, Margaret nodded. “Ken had a tough life. He lost his mother when he was young. His stepmother is different from his biological mother. This made him unwilling to say anything no matter what grievances he felt. However, if he was really wronged, I would never turn a blind eye to it. After thinking about it, you’re the most suitable person to investigate this matter. Are you willing to help Grandma again?
Melody nodded in agreement without any hesitation. “I’ll look into it!”
As long as this matter was found out, it could help Ken clear his came and expose Ulric and Astrid’s true colors.
Even if Margaret didn’t say it, she still had to do it.
Seeing how determined and sincere she was, Margaret felt a little relieved. “Don’t tell anyone about this except you and me. If you run into any obstacles and need my help, just let Grandma know.”
“Okay, Margaret. Melody nodded vigorously,
She would definitely get to the bottom of this matter.
As the two of them chatted, it was time for Margaret to take an afternoon nap. She had always had the habit of taking an afternoon nap, and when it was time, she could not open her eyes.
Melody happened to receive an inauguration call from the headhunting company, so she got up to say goodbye to Margaret.
When she walked out of the villa, she vaguely felt a cold gaze staring at her.
Melody stopped in her tracks and subconsciously turned to look at the second floor of the villa.
At a window on the second floor, the curtains swayed slightly.
There was someone there just now.
Melody glanced at the window and quickly determined that it was Ulric’s room.
It seemed that Ulric had his eyes on her.
However, she was the one in the dark.
Melody’s lips curled up coldly. She turned around and left without looking back.
After Melody turned around, Ulric stood by the window again.
He looked deeply at Melody’s back and only retracted his gaze when he could no longer see her.
At that moment, his phone rang.
He took out his phone and looked at the caller ID, it was Melody
He thought, “Why would Melody call me?‘
2/3
3/3
While he was surprised, a trace of surprise that even he did not notice flashed across his heart.
In the next moment, Ulric quickly reached out and picked up the call. “Hello?”
“Mr. Ulric, I’m Mabel… Mabel’s voice came from the phone.
Ulric suddenly realized that previously, he had mixed up Melody and Mabel’s identities, so the caller ID he had left for Mabel was Melody.
Frustration rose in his heart. “Miss Fox, what’s the matter?”
Mabel did not realize that Ulric’s attitude towards her had changed for a moment. She said shyly. “The training school taught us to bake desserts today. I made a half–cooked cheese. Although it doesn’t look good, the taste should be fine. The last time you gave me a gift, I haven’t given you one. I wonder if I can offset it with this half–cooked cheese?”
“There’s no need.” Ulric held his phone coldly and said, “I don’t like sweet food.”
On the other end of the phone, Mabel was caught off guard. Her shy smile froze on her face.
Only then did she realize that when she contacted Ulric this time, his attitude was abnormally cold. It was completely different from at the birthday banquet previously.
At that time, Ulric was clearly a gentle person.
“Mr. Ulric..” Mabel’s eyes reddened in grievance. “You… what’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Or did I disturb you?”
