Chapter 203
Janet held onto the last bit of hope in her heart. She felt that the Murphy family did things flawlessly. Ken was at most suspicious and could not trace things back to her.
Ken took a deep look at
Without saying a word, he walked to the swivel chair behind the desk and sat down with an imposing aura.
Janet was filled with apprehension as she turned to look at James
James wanted to help Janet, but Ken was sitting in front of him. He did not dare to make a sound and only lowered his head pretending not to see Janet’s pleading gaze.
When Janet saw James’s reaction, the hope in her heart instantly disappeared.
As expected, Ken still found out about it.
Just as Janet did not know how to deal with the current situation, she saw Ken take out a cigarette from the cigarette box. He hit it between his lips and was about to light it when he seemed to have thought of something in the next second. He suddenly stopped lighting the cigarette and held it between his fingers.
Janet’s heart trembled slightly.
She had advised Ken not to smoke if he had a cold. He seemed to remember that.
She thought. Does this mean that he actually has me in his heart?”

Janet suddenly gained courage. She took a deep breath and said. “Ken, if you have something to say, just say it. If you’re here for Melody, then I admit that I did it. But I don’t think I’m at fault”
After saying that, Ken’s expression was indistinguishable. He only said with a gloomy gaze. “Tell me your mo
Janet’s expression froze as she thought. “Motive! Isn’t that the term used when interrogating criminals?
motive.”
She said humiliatingly. “I just want you to understand that it won’t do you any good to be too close to Melody. Ximber Tech is at the most important stage. After this stage, your identity will be revealed sooner or later. At that time, you will be worshipped. Do you want to see her ruin your reputation when that time comes?”
“Drag me down.” Ken gave a half–smile. His eyes were filled with coldness.
Janet subconsciously swallowed before she dared to continue. “Yes. let’s not talk about her image first. Just based on the environment of her family. if she really has anything to do with you, the Fox family will definitely pester you. I don’t want it to be difficult for you to clean up when that time comes, so it’s better to make Melody give up as soon as possible.”
“Make Melody give up?” Ken chuckled. “What do you think she wants to do to me?”
“Of course…” Janet clenched her fists and said. “She wants to rely on you to rise to the top
Ken pinched the space between his eyebrows. “Jane, you seem to have forgotten that we’ve already registered our marriage. If she wanted to rely on me to climb up the social ladder, she would have countless opportunities since she already has the title of Mrs. Swanson, but she didn’t”
Janet gritted her teeth. “That’s because she wants to cast a long line to catch a big fish and occupy this title for a long time.
Ken glanced at her indifferently. “Janet, you seem to have a huge opinion about her,”
Janet was silent for two seconds before she suddenly nodded and said, “I admit that I don’t like her, but everything I’ve done is for you. I believe she must have seen that post. If you don’t draw a line with her now, she will only be more unscrupulous.“.
“For me” Ken’s voice was cold. He looked at Janet expressionlessly. “If it’s for me, there’s no need. Your duty is to design and review the product, not interfere with my private life. You said that Melody is unscrupulous, but what about you! You followed me, took those photos, and posted that post. behind my back. Janet, seeing as we’ve been partners for years, I’ve put a lid on this for you, and I won’t mention it again, but this is the last time. If there’s a next time. I will kick you out of my team.”
Janet’s hear tightened. She asked in disbelief, “Ken, what do you mean? You want to chase me out of Ximber Tech for a mere Melody!”
Ken still lit the cigarette in the end, but after taking a puff, he crushed the cigarette butt with his bare hands. That action shocked Janet.
Ken stood up and said indifferently. “I don’t want to repeat myself. You haven’t been back in this country for long, so you might not have adjusted your condition yet. Come back to work when you have.”
Janet’s face instantly turned pale.

Chapter 203
She gripped the hem of her dress tightly, but she could not say a word. Her eyes turned red.
At this moment, her heart ached as if it was pierced by a needle.
Ken did not even look at her. He only said calmly. “Go to the technical department and hand over the work.”
Janet bit her lower lip and turned around stiffly to walk out.
Although Ken only told her to go back and adjust her condition, she knew that this was a very harsh punishment.
She was not around at the most important stage before the product was introduced, so no matter how popular this product would be in the future. it would not have much to do with her. This was no different from a huge warning,
After Janet left, James wanted to say something but hesitated. There were a few times when the words were at the tip of his tongue, but he still did not have the courage to say them. He swallowed them again.
Ken glanced at James coldly. “You think I’m cold–blooded?
James opened his mouth and shook his head. “No…”
Ken raised his eyebrows and said, “If I were cold–blooded and disregarded old feelings, I wouldn’t have given her this chance”
James took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say, “But, Mr. Ken… Miss Murphy did everything for you. If you let her go home and adjust, wouldn’t the punishment be too severe!”
“For me!” Ken found it funny. “Do you really think so too?”
James choked. He realized that he could not answer this question immediately.
“That’s enough.” Ken looked at the time and said. “Go meet people from Taynorma Capital and then return to Serenity
v Villa
James quickly responded. He could not help but ask excitedly. “Mr. Ken, can I come back and be with you?”
n was unperturbed. “You are far more useful being with Melody than being me. Help her poach Zack and you can come back.”
Ken
James said. “Yes!”
He thought. What if Miss Fox can not poach Zack? Then wouldn’t I never be able to return to Mr. Ken’s side for the rest of my life?
On the way. Ken received a call from Margaret, “Grandma…
As soon as he opened his mouth. Margaret interrupted him and asked, “Ken, why did I hear Astrid say that Cadence’s condition was not so serious that she needed to be hospitalized? Moreover, your staff were blocking the entrance of the hospital. Even she and Cadence’s father could not go in to visit?”
Ken’s expression did not change. He asked, “What did she tell you?!”
Margaret was silent for two seconds before saying truthfully. “She said that it’s because Wendell doesn’t agree with you on the project, so you.. Ken, if that’s the case, no matter what, you can’t take your anger out on Cadence”
Ken asked calmly, “Grandma, do you also think that I’m abusing my power?”
Margaret was silent for a while before saying. “Of course, Grandma doesn’t think you’re that kind of person. It’s just that yesterday, she was still fine. Why did her condition suddenly… become so serious?“.
