Chapter 148
Ali didn’t know where Ryan got the courage to retort in front of Kayla. “What do you mean by one–sided? Is this one–sided? The surveillance footage has been found. Do you still want to deny it? You said that we’re guilty of defamation, but what about you? How do you account for the crime of defamation and threats?”
When Melody heard this, he did not say anything. She only silently replayed the surveillance footage. Kayla was not stupid. She immediately determined who was telling the truth.
Recently, she was quite satisfied with Melody’s performance, but this Ryan was simply very disappointing.
Kayla looked at the surveillance footage and asked Ryan in disgust. “Tve seen the surveillance footage. Is this what you mean by one–sided story!”
Ryan had already thought of an excuse and hurriedly said, “That’s not what I meant. I can admit that I did search Melody’s. drawer, but I was not stealing Melody’s things as they said: I was looking for work information that is shared with everyone. It’s fine for me to use the information to help the company poach candidates, right?”
Kayla pursed her lips. “What information?”
Ryan immediately pointed at Melody and said, “I’ve made it clear to Melody that we’ll be working on this project of Zack together. However, she doesn’t share any information with me at all. I’m afraid that her personal desires will affect this project, so I went to look for information.”
Melody sneered and said, “Information? How can you prove that you’re looking for information and not to see if there’s anything valuable inside?”
“You… Ryan gritted his teeth. “If you don’t believe me, you can search my body. I didn’t take anything from your
Melody said with a half–smile, “That’s because I came back in time and you didn’t have time to take anything. If you really wanted to search for work documents, why did you specifically run to the surveillance room to turn off the automatic archive of the surveillance? This isn’t something you need to do to take work documents, right?”
Ryan’s expression froze. That’s because….
After a long pause, Ryan could not find a reasonable reason. Because that reason was really despicable.
He turned off the surveillance archive because he did not want Melody to know that he had stolen her information. He wanted to know more about Zack than she did without Melody knowing.
When Melody saw that Ryan did not speak, she smiled coldly and turned to Kayla. “Kayla, you are the manager of the company. I need a fair and reasonable judgment for this matter
Kayla was silent for two seconds. She then nodded and turned to Ryan. “According to the company’s rules, please pack up and leave immediately. As for whether you are reported for theft… you can discuss it with Melody yourself”
Ryan’s face instantly turned as pale as a sheet of white paper.
He thought, I am fired?”
“No, no…” At this moment. Ryan had thrown his pride and dignity to the back of his mind and was about to beg Kayla for
mercy
However, Kayla did not give Ryan any time to beg for mercy. She turned around and left the office without a care.
The company had always operated in an orderly manner. Ever since Melody and Ryam arrived, the company had become a mess. Kayla couldn’t wait to send them away. Anyway, when Russell asked, she would have a suitable reason to explain.

Ryan watched as Kayla disappeared from his sight. His last hope was destroyed.
However, he immediately realized that the only person who could resolve this matter was Melody.
Ryan struggled internally and could only throw away his dignity helplessly. He went forward and grabbed Melody’s hand to beg. “Melody, no matter what, I’m still your cousin. You can’t bear to see me fired, right?”
Melody raised her chin slightly and said coldly, “Ryan, it’s precisely because you’re my cousin that I gave you a chance. You didn’t want this opportunity. Have you forgotten?
Ryan was stunned. He remembered that Melody did give him a chance when she turned on the projection
However, he didn’t expect her to know how to hack since she came from the countryside.
If he had known this would happen, he wouldn’t have rummaged through Melody’s drawer in the first place to look for that information. Ryan was filled with regret.
“Melody. Melody..” Ryan gritted his teeth and knelt before Melody. “Melody, you know about my family situation, right? I can’t lose this job. It’s all my fault. Melody, please forgive me. Help me tell Kayla that it’s all a misunderstanding, okay? I’m begging you!”
In fact, like Ali, he couldn’t lose this job. Although he was related to the Fox family, to be precise, he was Russell’s relative.
Before Russell married Wilona, he was just a poor kid who worked as a construction worker. Needless to say, his relatives were very ordinary. Especially Ryan who was his distant relative who lived in the countryside. It was not easy for him to get a chapte to work in Silverlake. He could not lose it so easily. At this moment, he was even willing to accept a slap from Melody to keep this job.
Melody looked at Ryan who had become so humble, but there was no pity on her face. “Ryan, I gave you a chance, but you threw it away. And I will only give you one chance. So… don’t waste your energy”
As she spoke, she turned to look at the other employees. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase this person who doesn’t belong to our company out.”
Following Melody’s command, those who had long disliked Ryan directly carried Ryan our
Ryan finally understood that there was no turning back. He simply cursed. “Bitch! Remember this. I will never let you off!”
Melody nodded repeatedly. “Alright. I’ll be waiting.”
As she spoke, she gave her male colleagues a look. They immediately understood and quickened their pace to carry Ryan out. The moment the office door closed, the world finally fell silent.
She patted the hand that Ryan had touched just now as if she was brushing away some germs. At that moment, her phone
rang.
She glanced at the screen and saw that it was Colin Herbert calling. Seeing that it was a call from Colin, she immediately answered the call and walked out while making the call. “Hello, Mr. Herbert.”
“Miss Fox!” Colin sounded very excited. “Are you free now?”
Melody asked, “Where are you?”
Colin answered, Hospital. I’m going back to Herbathrive now,”
She said, “Okay, let’s meet at Herbathrive.”
“Alright!” Colin did not waste any time and ended the call
2/3
Melody quickly hailed reab,and the cab sped toward Herbathrive.
Before long. Melody arrived at Herbathrive’s door. David Marrow stood at the door, seemingly welcoming her.
As expected, as soon as she got out of the car, David ran towards her. “Miss Fox! My master wants you to go to the backyard to talk to him immediately.”
