Chapter 130 to 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. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 130” »

Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker
I’m Melody Fox, once deemed an ugly duckling.
In my past life, I was cruelly betrayed, my heart brutally ripped from my chest by my once-beloved and my stepsister.
Reborn, I inadvertently rescued Ken Swanson, the wealthiest man in Halcyon, and found myself tangled in his intricate world. I was manipulated into remarrying, becoming a pawn in his elaborate plot. I feared the past would replay itself, yet he assured me that with him by my side, I would never suffer again.
On our wedding day, I cast aside my disguise, astounding everyone with my breathtaking beauty and exceptional medical prowess.
This time, I am not just surviving; I am seeking vengeance. I will reveal my true strength to those who once scorned me!
Chapter 129 At the me time, Melody’s gaze slowly landed on the female salesperson. The saleswoman suddenly had an ominous feeling. As expected, in the next moment, Melody said, “Your environment is not bad, but the quality of your sale staff needs to be improved. I originally wanted to buy more properties, but now it seems that ten is enough…” Errol was stunned, but he quickly realized what Melody meant. He stopped and pointed at the bewildered saleswoman. “You are fired!” Although the female salesperson had guessed this outcome, she still widened her eyes in disbelief, “Manager, you want me to quit?” “Didn’t I make myself clear? Why aren’t you leaving?” Errol gave the security guards a look. The security guards immediately stepped forward and took the saleswoman away. The saleswoman became angry under immense despair. “Little bitch, don’t be smug! Why don’t you go downtown and buy a house there? You actually bought so many houses in a dilapidated building like the Eastern Garden that will definitely make you lose money. You’re really stupid. I’ll wait for you to lose everything. At that time, you’ll be even worse than me!” Errol urged the security guard with an ugly expression, “Throw her out quickly!” The saleswoman was thrown out directly, and the door cut off her voice. Melody was about to continue signing the contract when she heard Errol say hesitantly, “Miss Fox, are you really sure you want to buy it? The value of this building in Eastern Carden… is falling. The location of this neighborhood is poor, and the surrounding facilities are not perfect. Indeed, many people don’t think highly of it. Do you need to wait and see?” Upon hearing this, Melody could not help but look at Errol As a sales manager, it was rare for him to persuade her to not purchase these properties instead of only caring about his sales numbers. At the thought of this, Melody kindly reminded her, “I know about the situation in the Eastern Garden, but if you’re willing to believe me and have spare money on hand, it’s best for you to buy a property there too. I guarantee that you’ll earn money.” Errol’s smile froze. It was obvious that he did not believe what she said. He only refused tactfully. Tm just a salesperson. How can I have so much money? You think too highly of me.” Melody stopped. It was not convenient for her to reveal more, so she did not continue persuading him. The contract was signed very smoothly. In addition, her guardian was currently not Russell, but Maria. So there was no need for her to care about Russell while buying properties. After signing the contract, Melody used the money Mabel spent on the black market to buy two more houses. Errol looked at her as if he was looking at a rare animal in a zoo. Under Errol’s gaze, she took a car and headed in the direction of the Swanson family. When she arrived at the Swanson family, it was already lunchtime. Margaret knew that she was coming today and had been waiting at the door. When she saw Melody, she immediately went up to her. “Melody, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you for so long!” 1/3 ווו Melody hard Margaret vers pach. She united gently and said originally planned to come over early, but the traffic was The minerale is Me this Sometimes its faster to walk than to take a car? That’s why I asked you to move over.

She and regrefully. “Forget it, forget it. When your grandmother recovers, i won’t be too late for you to move over and accompany me for a while. I’ve recovered now, and I feel that I can live for Melody smiled and nodded Defini another the Margaret was in a good mood and led her through the door When she reached the living room, Melody saw the sitting in the wheelchair with his back facing her Since the person who killed her was right in front of her, hatred spread from her toes to her brain. At the same time, the suffocation and fear before death echoed clearly in her mind Melody med her best to clench her fists and suppress her complicated emotions, but her hands could not stop trembling This was not the fine time be had seen s would still thuctuate greatly. Fortunately. Margad not notice her abnormality. She held her arm affectionately and said. Tve asked the kitchen to taste. Tell me what you like to eat later.

Then he revealed a warm smile “Miss Fox, welcom Melody really wanted to tear apart his disguise to avoid disgust She nodded expressionlessly as a greeting nomenon Melody’s attitude: However, he never understood why Melody looked at him coldly the first time they met. There seemed to be a hint of bacred mixed in that coldness He thought. Even though Melody is on Ken’s side, she shouldn’t hate me so much, right? While Margaret went to have the medicine. Ulric couldn’t help but say “Miss Fox, is there a misunderstanding between us? … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 129” »
Chapter 128 The saleswoman was shocked by Melody’s gaze and could not help but swallow. For a moment, she did not dare to speak. However, Yolanda believed that she knew Melody’s capabilities very well. She crossed her arms and asked mockingly. “Didn’t you say that you’re here to sign the contract? Alright, then tell me which salesperson you have talked to previously. As long as you can tell me their name, then I will believe you are not following me. Otherwise…” Melody had found the salesperson on the official website, but she still knew the name. She said impatiently, “Someone called Errol Hearing this, Yolanda glanced sideways at the saleswoman. “Errol?” The saleswoman quickly searched for someone called Errol in her mind, but she couldn’t find one. Yolanda looked at the saleswoman’s expression and knew that there was no such person. She sneered and said, “You can’t even lie. They don’t have a person with that name here. At home, Maria always covers for you. However, we are in the public right now. It’s not good for you to keep lying!” Melody frowned. “That’s impossible… “Why are you still lying at a time like this? Stop pretending!” Yolanda frowned impatiently. Then, she didn’t forget to remind. her disdainfully, “You just came back from the countryside. Where did you get the money to buy a house! Do you know how much the property in Silverlake costs? It’s not like the countryside you come from. The saleswoman looked down. After confirming that Melody could not afford to buy a house, she called the security guards to please Yolanda. “Come quickly! Chase this troublemaker away! A security guard immediately stepped forward to chase Melody away. Melody’s eyes were cold. “You can’t chase me me away. Yolanda could not help but laugh. “We can’t? Melody, don’t think that you can do whatever you want in Silverlake just because Maria is protecting you. I’ve already said that this is the public, not your home. It’s not a place you can enter as you please!” The commotion outside finally attracted the sales manager to come out. “Why is it so noisy! Don’t you know there are clients inside As soon as he finished speaking, the manager saw Yolanda first. He couldn’t help but put away the anger on his face and greeted Yolanda politely, “Mrs. Fox. Yolanda nodded slightly and said indifferently, “Can anyone enter your place now? Someone is causing trouble at the door. Aren’t you going to do anything about it?” The manager frowned and asked the saleswoman, “What happened?” The female salesperson immediately said, “Manager, this person clearly wanted to freeload, but she insisted that she was here to sign a contract. She even said that she was here to sign a contract with a person called Errol. You know, we don’t have a person called Errol here…” As soon as he finished speaking, the manager’s expression changed. He suddenly looked at Melody and asked in surprise, “Excuse me are you Miss Fox?” Melody could tell that the manager’s voice was very familiar. Now, she was completely sure that this manager was Errol Glover, the person she talked to on the phone previously. 1/3 Chapter 128 “I am.” Melody nodded “Are you Errol?” “Yes, yes, it’s me. I’m Errol!” The manager stepped forward and shook Melody’s hand warmly as if he had seen his family. “Miss Fox, you’re finally here! I originally planned to look for you with the contract yesterday, but you said that you wanted to come over yourself, so I could only wait for you here.” Yolanda’s expression froze when she saw the manager fawning over Melody. She thought. What is going on!‘ The saleswoman’s mind went blank. She subconsciously looked at the name tag hanging on the manager’s chest and saw the words “Errol Glover” written in gold. They usually called him manager or Mr. Glover, but no one dared to call him by his first name. After a while, no one remembered the manager’s full name. She realized that Melody was referring to her boss and was shocked. On the other side, Errol apologized guiltily. At the same time, he did not forget to pull the female salesperson over. “Hurry up and apologize to Miss Fox” There’s no need to apologize Melody couldn’t be bothered with the female salesperson and said directly, “Let’s go in and sign the contract. I have something else to do.” Alright. Please come in!” Errol hurriedly made a respectful inviting gesture. “Wait!” Yolanda regained her senses and quickly stopped Errol and Melody. Errol couldn’t help but frown. “Miss Fox, what’s the matter?” “Mr. Glover‘ Yolanda frowned and said, “I know this girl. I don’t know how she tricked you, but I’m sure that she doesn’t have the money to buy a house. Don’t be fooled by her” When Errol heard this, he could not help but hesitate for a moment.. However, he quickly returned to normal and said expressionlessly, “Thank you for your concern, but there’s no need. I believe Miss Fox is not that kind of person.” As the manager spoke, he gestured for Melody to enter. Melody nodded slightly and followed Errol without looking at Yolanda. When Yolanda saw that Errol would rather accompany Melody than believe her words, her face could not help but turn. green. She thought. In Errol’s eyes, am I actually inferior to that country bumpkin, Melody?‘ But then, she let out a cold sneer from the tip of her nose. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 128” »
Chapter 127 “Take on a job!” Melody raised her eyebrows, her interest piqued. As long as it was related to making money, she was interested. Melody quickly browsed the forum and realized that it was no different from an ordinary forum. However, it supported cash transactions and had a strict hierarchy. There were some sections that a tourist like her could not enter. Ken continued. “You can study the use of it. There are all kinds of jobs on it. You can also treat patients online. But remember, don’t reveal any real information about you on the forum. It’s the same as the rules in the black market.” “Understood. The more Melody scrolled through the forum, the more excited she became. She clicked on the post with at reward of ten thousand dollars and realized that the job was only to solve an advanced mathematics question. In other words, as long as she solved this advanced mathematics question and sent it to the poster, she would be able to get the money. There were three pages of comments below, but no one accepted this bounty. Everyone said that the questions were too difficult. However, Melody only glanced at this advanced mathematics question and immediately solved it in her mind. She thought, This is too easy! Melody immediately registered an account and accepted the bounty. Then, she sent a private message to the person who posted it to explain the process. As long as she waited for the person to log in and confirm that the answer was correct, she would be able to get the money There were a lot of bounties as simple as this one. As Melody scrolled through the forum, she did not forget to thank Ken. “Thank you. I’ve never heard of this forum before! Ken’s indifferent voice sounded. “There’s no need to thank me verbally. Remember to accompany my grandma. She’s been talking about you for a few days, but she’s afraid that you haven’t recovered, so she didn’t ask you to come for food.” Melody understood. She thought, “No wonder Ken gave me this opportunity to earn money. It was all for Margaret. However, it makes sense. If it wasn’t for Margaret, Ken wouldn’t care so much about whether I was injured. Melody was a grateful person and immediately agreed to visit Margaret tomorrow morning. Ken didn’t waste any more time talking to her and ended the call After hanging up the phone, Melody scrolled through the forum again. She realized that her level was too low, and she was not qualified to accept many bounties. She could only accept bounties below two hundred thousand dollars. Only by completing a certain number of bounties could her rank slowly rise and accept higher bounties, However, at the very least, this was also a way to earn money. Melody cherished it very much and scrolled through the forums until midnight before preparing to sleep The next day. Melody was planning to visit Margaret in the Swanson family when she bumped into Russell, who was to go out to work. She remembered that Ken wanted to poach Zack Nelson, so she took a few steps forward and greeted Russell. “Good about ||| morning, Dad.” “Morning.” Russell was in a bad mood because of the company’s matters. When he saw Melody, he only nodded lightly and asked, “Why are you up so early?” 150 It was only seven in the morning. If not for Russell’s business trip today, he would not have woken up so early. Melody quickly went straight to the point. “I’ve mentioned the headhunting company to you before. I feel that my body has almost recovered, so I want to ask you when I can work at the headhunting company?” When Russell heard this, he glanced at Melody in surprise. He thought that Melody had long forgotten about this, but he did not expect her to take it seriously. However, that headhunting company was really small, so it didn’t matter to him. After hesitating for two seconds, he nodded and said, “When they open today, I’ll call the HR manager. He’ll contact you to work there.” “Okay, thank you, Daddy!” Melody put on an extremely grateful smile and said to Russell with admiration, “Daddy is really amazing. I feel that as long as you’re around, everything can be settled.” Melody knew that Russell was a typical chauvinist and enjoyed the compliments from others, so she specifically praised Russell. As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, Russell revealed a satisfied expression. His gaze was gentle as he said, “It’s fine if you don’t know anything after you go over there. I’ll tell the staff to take good care of you. Study hard. If anyone in the company bullies you, call me.” “Okay, Daddy is amazing!” Melody was not stingy with her praise However, after Russell left, Melody instantly put away the innocent smile on her face and walked out with cold eyes. She was going to Margaret’s house today, but she was not in a hurry to go. Instead, she ran around the neighborhood a few … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 127” »
Chapter 126 As Russell spoke, he turned to ask Mabel, “Mabel, right?” On the surface, he still had to take care of Melody. After all. Melody’s medical skills were extraordinary. There would be a time when he could use her. Mabel had yet to recover from her shock However, when she saw Melody approaching her and saw that Russell had also seen Melody, she finally reacted that Melody was not a ghost. She was not dead Mabel thought, How is that possible! I hired the most expensive assassins on the black market. When I placed the order, the person in charge of assigning the assassins advised me not to hire the most expensive one. They said that to deal with a young lady. I could just use the cheapest Black Team Using the Crimson Team was like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. In other words, the Crimson Team would never fail. However, Melody is indeed alive right now. What is going on Mabel’s mind was in a mess. “Mabel, is what Dad said true?” Melody deliberately walked forward and asked, “Why do you seem very surprised to see me? Do you think that I died in an accident and came back to life… As soon as she finished speaking, Mabel’s face turned pale and she swayed. She thought, Could it be that Melody… knew that I had hired an assassin However, in the blink of an eye, Mabel rejected this possibility The transactions in the black market were absolutely confidential to the outside world. It was impossible for her to be exposed, not to mention that she was employing the top Crimson Team Mabel’s face finally regained a trace of color after she believed that this was a coincidence. She smiled stiffly and said. “Melody, stop joking. I just happened to see a black cat passing by the roadside and was frightened It has nothing to do with you.” “I see…” Melody nodded with a faint smile. “Then you have to be careful. When I was in the countryside, I often heard from the old people that seeing black cars is a very ominous sign. If you can avoid going out recently, it’s better to stay home. Nothing is more important than living safely.” “Thank you for your concern. I’ll be fine.” Mabel’s lips twitched. Her smile was uglier than crying. If Russell had not been by her side, she would have strangled Melody to death. Mabel thought, ‘Black cats are an unlucky sign? No, you are! Mabel clenched her fists tightly and tried her best to maintain her composure. When Russell saw that the sisters were getting along well, he smiled in satisfaction and said. “The relationship between the two of you is getting better and better. Sisters should help each other like this. Alright, let’s go back and eat. As Russell spoke, he led the way. Mabel followed in a daze. A question kept repeating in her mind, “Why is Melody still alive? Mabel lost her appetite during dinner because of that. When dinner was finally over, she hurriedly found an excuse to leave. 13 ။ Chapter 120 Ο About two hours later, Mabel walked out of the black market in a daze. She went to question the person in charge of the Crimson Tearn, but the other party did not give her any explanation and refused to return the money. She threatened to call the police if the other party did not return the money, but the other party threatened her instead, saying that calling the police was equivalent to turning herself in After the argument, she was almost beaten up by those people, so she could only give up and run home dejectedly. She gritted her teeth in anger at the thought of all her money going down the drain. In the living room, just as Yolanda was feeling anxious about the fact that Mabel was not back yet, Mabel came back. Yolanda quickly went forward and said angrily and worriedly. “Where did you go! Your father asked me just now. I was so frightened that I could only say that you were asked by another socialite to learn dance. If he finds out that you wandered around, you will be punished!” Mabel wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she did not dare to tell Yolanda the truth. She only said, “I didn’t wander around. Didn’t you ask me to please that young lady from Insterimond? She invited me to one of her aunts‘ birthday banquet in a few days.” When Yolanda heard this, her expression softened a little. “I see. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have to worry. Alright, it’s getting late. Co and rest. You still have to go to the extracurricular class tomorrow morning.” Mabel nodded. She was not in the mood to chat with Yolanda and hurried upstairs. However, after washing up and lying in bed, Mabel tossed and turned. She could not understand why the Crimson Team did not succeed in taking Melody’s life. She thought. “Could it be that Melody had a backer? However, she is just a country bumpkin. How can she have a backer?” After thinking about it, Mabel could only conclude that the people in the black market were all liars and it was a lie that she could hire assassins at the black market. If she had known this would happen, she would not have gone to the black market in the first place. At the thought that her 4 million dollars was gone just like that, Mabel’s heart ached even more and she hated Melody even more. At this moment, she suddenly felt something cold under her pillow. Puzzled, she took out the item and remembered that it was a brooch that Janet had given her. This brooch was expensive and priceless. There were only 100 of them in the world. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 126” »
Chapter 125 The maid often added punctuation when sending messages, and Melody did the same. After sending it, Yolanda did not send another message, but Melody could guess Yolanda’s current expression. She must be very pleased with herself. However, God was watching. How could there be so many secret in this world that would never be revealed? She pursed her lips coldly. Thinking that Mabel should be back by now, Melody greeted Hattie and walked from the backyard to the living room. On the way, Melody suddenly received a transfer of 4 million dollars. The person who transferred it to her was Ken Melody sent Ken a question mark in confusion. Ken quickly replied: [Mabel gave it to the Crimson Team. The Crimson Team didn’t complete the mission, so this money is for you.] [Thank you Mr. Swanson!] Melody quickly typed on her phone. On the other end of the phone, when Ken saw the reply, he did not even notice the rare smile on his lips. Melody put down her phone and narrowed her eyes slightly. 4 million dollars… To Mabel, this was all her pocket money. “I can’t believe she was willing to spend so much money just to kill me. Unfortunately, Mabel will never have thought this money would end up in my hands, With that in mind, Melody could not help but smile. She began to think about how to spend the 4 million dollars properly so that this money could help her make more money as fast as possible. At the same time, at the entrance of the Fox villa. Mabel had just finished her dance training class, During this period, she had to learn etiquette and take the coffee making course in the morning, dance in the afternoon, and musical instruments in the afternoon. When she returned home at night, she had to prepare for the next semester’s textbooks. She had her hands full.. But even so, she enjoyed it. She didn’t mind attending more tuition classes to be more worthy of Ulric However, Mabel was in a good mood today. On the way back in the car, she hummed a song. When she got home, she might be able to receive the good news from her mother that Melody had disappeared from this world. “Oh, no, the killers would choose a more secretive place. Perhaps Mom and Dad don’t even know that Melody is dead. They’ll think Melody is wandering outside and has not returned home yet. Well, I wondered if Melody’s corpse had already decomposed when found, Mabel thought and smiled. Before she opened the car door and got out, she even said to the driver, “Thank you for your hard work.” The middle–aged man who had been Mabel’s chauffeur at that time widened his eyes in shock when he heard Mabel’s words. ||| 36% Chapter 125 If he remembered correctly,this was the first time Mabel had appreciated him. The middle–aged driver hurriedly said in fear, “You’re welcome, and it’s my honor. This is what I should do” Mabel smiled gently and bent as she got out of the car. At this moment, Russell returned from the company. Mabel noticed he did not look too good and guessed that something might have happened to the company. She quickly walked over and asked, “Dad, you’re back. How’s the company’s situation now?” Russell shook his head. He was unwilling to discuss this with his daughter. He only said concisely. “There’s a small problem, but it’s not a big deal” However, only Russell knew that the Justalion Group was in big double. A batch of newly designed clothes of the Justalion Group had been exposed online as plagiarizing other designers. He needed to sue the other party and push all the responsibility to the designer to protect the Justalion Group’s reputation. However, none of this was a big problem. The problem was that the Justalion Group’s clothes were deteriorating because he had no design inspiration and could not hire good fashion designers. Seeing Russell was unwilling to say more, Mabel dared not ask further. She smiled and said, “Dad, I’ll graduate next year. When I graduate, I’ll come to the company to be a designer and design popular clothes for the company” When Russell heard Mabel’s words, he remembered that Mabel majored in fashion design. Moreover, her results in school! had always been good and she had won some competitions. She indeed had potential. He was so focused on marrying Mabel into the Swanson family that he almost forgot about this matter. If Mabel had this ability, he wouldn’t have to be so worried. When Russell thought of this, his expression softened. He revealed a kind fatherly smile. “You’ve worked hard recently. Remember to strike a balance between work and rest. Don’t let yourself be too tired. You know that I have the greatest expectations for you.” Mabel immediately understood what he meant. In other words, no matter how much concern her father showed to Melody now, he only cared about Mabel. Mabel was delighted. She smiled humbly and said, “Thank you for your concern, Dad. I’ll try my best After Mabel finished speaking, she heard a crisp female voice coming from the door. “Dad” Hearing the word “Dad“, Mabel’s back stiffened. “Isn’t this voice… Melody’s? With the question in her mind, Mabel looked at the door in disbelief and met Melody’s cold … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 125” »
Chapter 124 When Melody called herself Ken’s “wife,” she looked nonchalant because she had never taken their marriage seriously. After all, she did not have any romantic feelings for Ken. When Margaret found a more suitable candidate, she and Ken could get a divorce at any time. Therefore, she only said the word “wife” for joking However, when Ken heard the word, he somehow felt sonsething strange. However, he quickly regained his usual cold expression and asked indifferently, “What do you want the pass for? No matter what you went to the black market for last time, there’s no need to go there again in the future.” “I have no choice. Melody spread her hands and said. “Your black market has too many rare medicinal herbs unavailable on the regular market. Please give me one.” As Melody spoke, she added, “I don’t have the money to buy a pass now, but I won’t let you lose out. Let me tell you a business opportunity. Buy as many houses as you can in Eastern Garden.” “Eastern Garden?” Ken raised his eyebrows slightly and revealed an expression that said, “Are you kidding me?” “That’s right, Eastern Garden” Melody looked firm. Ken glanced at her and said, “Don’t tell me you used all 8 million dollars to buy a house in Eastern Garden. “That’s right. I bought ten sets and haven’t had time to sign them yet,” said Melody. Ken was stunned again. Then, he frowned and said, “Since you haven’t signed the contract, don’t buy it. It’s located in the suburbs of Silverlake. It’s inconvenient in all aspects, and the property price has been falling. As far as I know, this building has been on sale for a long time and hasn’t been sold out until now, which means there’s no prospect “No,” Melody said firmly, “Believe me. I won’t frame you. “Up to you.” Ken threw her a pass and said expressionlessly. “If you lose everything, don’t come crying to me.” Melody pursed her lips and muttered inwardly, ‘If you don’t believe me, forget it. The housing price will increase very quickly, and it will soar! It was a pity she did not have more money to buy houses. Otherwise, she would buy all the ones available. With this thought in mind, Melody lowered her head to look at the pass that Ken had thrown at her. She saw that it still had the iconic wolf head of the black market on it, but the color was red “This Why is the color different?” Melody asked. Ken glanced at her. “Just take it. If any assassins from the black market come looking for you in the future, just take out this card. Then, they won’t hurt you. “Okay… Melody nodded. It was fine as long as she could enter the black market. As for those assassins, it was true that she had not trained in her new life. Otherwise, even if a few more people from the Crimson Team came, she could still deal with them. The car arrived at the Fox family’s house in the blink of an eye. Ken said concisely, “Go back and pack your things. From today coward, you’ll stay with my grandmother in the Swanson family’s house.” Chapter 191 Melody was stunned and quickly refused. “No need… I’m fine staying at home. Moreover, I have to treat my grandmother’s illness and can’t leave. Besides, I’m afraid Astrid will kill me if I stay at the Swanson family’s house.” She had too many things to do recently and did not have the time to deal with Astrid for the time being. Moreover, Ulric lived in the Swanson family’s residence. She was afraid that she would kill Ulric without caring about the consequences. Ken frowned again when he heard what she said. He said coldly, Up to you!” Melody glanced at Ken and knew that he was angry. “Ken is rich but has a bad temper, but I can’t leave now and can’t go to the Swanson family, Melody thought. Hence, Melody only thanked him before opening the car door and leaving However, when she got out of the car, she saw two men in black standing not far away from her. Just as she was wondering if these two people were also killers, she heard Ken’s voice coming from the car. “They’re my people. They’ll ensure your safety “Thank you, but I don’t think I need… Before she could finish her sentence, Ken’s car had already left, leaving behind a trail of exhaust fumes. “Ahem…” Melody covered her nose and coughed. The two bodyguards happened to walk to her. “Miss Fox, we were sent by Mr. Ken to protect you. If you have any orders, feel free to instruct us “I do have an order.” Melody poked the biceps of one of the bodyguards and nodded in satisfaction. “I usually don’t have any trouble, so I don’t need you most of the time. How about this? When my life isn’t in danger, please don’t appear. Otherwise, it will be too eye–catching “Got it! Miss Fox“” The two bodyguards bowed slightly to her and turned to leave. Soon, they disappeared into the darkness. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see them at all. Only then did Melody feel relieved. She carried the herbs into the back door of the villa. She couldn’t announce that she was treating Maria for the time being, so she avoided people as much as possible. Fortunately, she did not encounter anyone on the way to the backyard. She successfully brought the medicinal herbs to Maria’s room. Maria slept most of the time and was awake for only a while recently. When Melody entered, Maria was still unconscious. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 124” »
Chapter 123 Seeing that she had agreed, Janet could not help but smile. She pretended to remind Mabel kindly, “By the way, there’s a taboo in her family. She can’t see dogs or anything similar to dogs. Her mother got bitten by a wild dog and fell ill with rabies. In the end, she passed away.” When Mabel heard this, she quickly nodded. “Don’t worry, Miss Murphy. I’ll remember it!” Janet nodded briefly, took a luxury brooch from her body, handed it to Mabel, and said, “We hit it off very well. It is my gift to you. I hope we can become good friends in the future.” “Thank you! Miss Murphy, we will become good friends!” said Mabel. “Since we’re friends in the future, don’t call me Miss Murphy. Just call me Janet.” “Okay, and you can call me Mabel. Mabel pretended to be calm on the surface, but she had already become extremely excited She had wanted to curry favor with Janet, but she did not expect Janet to give her a greeting gift so easily and become friends with her. However, Mabel’s disguise was seen through at a glance by Janet She had the mockery in her eyes and revealed a peaceful smile. Very good. I’ve planted two baits with Mabel and cant wait for the fish to take the bait! At that time, she would see whether Melody could come. However, it did not matter if Mabel did not bring Melody along. She would get Fairlee to send an invitation directly to the Fox family. She could lure Melody to the Lawrence family’s birthday party no matter what. At that time, she wanted Melody’s reputation to be ruined! At the same time, at the entrance of Silverlake Hospital. Melody and Ken were not idle either. The 8 million dollars she had obtained from Janet was not spent because she had yet to gain the trust of Herbathrive. And this money had to be put to the greatest use. She looked at the latest development in Silverlake on her phone With the advantage of “living once again, she bought ten houses in the same building without hesitation. The real estate salesperson immediately called and warmly welcomed her to the real estate center to sign the property purchase contract. Houses in Silverlake were easy to be sold. However, because the building Melody chose was located in Silverlake’s least economically developed and most inaccessible area, even if the price was low, there were not many buyers because people were not optimistic about this building. Melody held her phone and replied calmly, “Okay, I’ll come over to sign the contract when I have time. After the finished the call, a tall man rushed over against the light, and his shadow covered her face. Ken’s beautiful eyes were filled with darkness. Unlike Ulric, Ken bad dark and sharp eyes. They fused with his aura, making 1/3 Chapter 123 him look even colder. However, Melody knew that he was not a cold person deep down. On the contrary, Ulric, who had soulful blue eyes, was the real heartless one. “There you are.” Melody took a few steps forward. Seeing that he was looking at her, she quickly spread her arms and said, Tm not lying to you. I’m not injured.” Ken retracted his gaze and said calmly. “Get in the car first.” Melody nodded. After getting into the car, she did not forget to ask, “Where is the deputy director now?” She believed that she was a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Since the other party wanted both of her hands, she naturally would not let that deputy director have an easy time! Ken stopped walking and said, “You don’t need to know where he is now.” “Why?” Melody asked in confusion. As soon as she finished speaking, the radio in the car rang. “This is an urgent news break. The former deputy director of Silverlake Hospital was investigated for taking bribes in private and colluding with medical equipment agencies. He committed suicide by jumping off a building at home. When he was discovered, he no longer had any vital signs…. Hearing the content of the radio, Melody could not help but look at Ken again. However, he did not react at all. He drove the car away from the hospital expressionlessly. You Melody opened her mouth again but realized she did not know what to say After two seconds of silence, Melody decided not to mention the deputy director anymore. Regardless of whether it was true that the deputy director committed suicide by jumping off a building, it was enough for Melody to know this result. There was no need to pursue the reason. For adults, the process was the least important. She was silent for two seconds before saying, “Actually, I met two groups of killers today. I can confirm one group was from the deputy director. Their skills are average, and I dealt with them in a few moves. But I’m not sure who sent the other group. Those people were quite skilled. If I had continued to fight them, I might not have been able to escape… Ken slowed down when he heard that Melody continued, “However, what I can be sure of is that these two groups of people are from the black market in Silverlake. They have wolf–head tattoos on their arms. Coincidentally, I had the chance to enter the black market. So I could recognize them” As she spoke. Melody paused and asked, “Do you know about the black market in Silverlake?” Ken looked at her with a complicated expression. Before Melody could finish, Ken asked, “What color is the wolf–lead tattoo on those people’s arms?” Dark red Melody replied. “Wait for … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 123” »
Chapter 122 The call was quickly picked up Melody knew he might be busy, so she did not waste any time and went straight to the point. “I met assassins today. The deputy director of Silverlake Hospital hired them to do it” Ken’s voice came through the phone. “Where are you? Are you hurt?” Melody seemed to hear nervousness in his voice. She couldn’t help but wonder, Does he care about me? No, he must be afraid that Margaret will be sad if something happens. to me Melody stopped letting her imagination run wild and replied, “I’m fine. I’m at the entrance of Silverlake Hospital now. I originally wanted to settle scores with the deputy director, but I only found out when I arrived that the deputy director had been fired” Ken said seriously over the phone, “Don’t run around now, Stand in a crowded place in the hospital and wait. I’ll pick you up now. “Okay…” Melody replied. For some reason, when she heard Ken’s voice, she felt more at ease. On the other side. Mabel’s heart ached as she put the bank card into her pocket at the socialite training class’s gate. This was her first time going to the black market. She was terrified when she went. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. She even hired the most expensive assassin and almost used up all the pocket money she had saved over the past few years. But she felt it was worth it. As long as Melody disappears, not to mention spending my pocket money, it is worth it even if I need to borrow money from others. Mabel raised her head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky. She felt so happy. When she returned home after class, she would probably receive the good news that Melody was dead. At the thought of this, Mabel’s mood became even better. She hummed along the way to the training class When she pushed open the door of the training class, she realized that the etiquette teacher was already introducing today’s guest to the other socialites. This guest was none other than Janet. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the etiquette teacher and Janet looked at Mabel synchronously, The etiquette teacher looked displeased, but when she saw it was Mabel, she put away her dark expression. Mabel was the top socialite in Silverlake last year and her favorite student. Hence, the etiquette teacher did not flare up on the spot and only asked, “Mabel, why are you here so late?” Mabel quickly apologized and explained, Tm sorry. Something happened at home. As you know, my sister just returned from the countryside. She doesn’t understand many things, so I was delayed and accidentally arrived late. I’m sorry! I promise it won’t happen again.” At the mention of Melody, the etiquette teacher could not help but frown in disdain. 1/3 ||| She had already heard a lot about Melody from these socialites. It was said that she was However, shockingly ugly. not only was she ugly, but she was also uncourteous and rude. She often bullied Mabel. If such a girl came to her class, she would chase her out immediately. “Go in and take a seat. The etiquette teacher nodded sympathetically. Then, she did not forget to remind her, “I know you’ve always been a kind girl, but you still have to prioritize what’s more important. Try your best to let the maids take care of your sister. You don’t have to do it for her all the time. Otherwise, she’ll only drag you down. Do you understand?” Mabel pretended to be troubled and nodded. Then, she nodded at Janet and sat down obediently. However, Janet was puzzled as she raised her eyebrows, thinking. A sister who has just returned from the countryside? Why does it sound so much like Melody?‘ Just as she wondered if it was a coincidence, Janet heard the etiquette teacher say, “Janet, don’t mind her. Mabel didn’t mean to be late. She’s also pitiful. She has a sister from the countryside called Melody. Recently, because of that sister, she has a lot of things to do at home…. Hearing this, the corners of Jane’s lips curled up in amusement. It’s indeed Melody! What a coincidence! She looked at Mabel appraisingly and realized that the sisters were worlds apart ‘One of them has an elegant posture. Although her looks can not compare to mine, she is already considered top–notch among the socialites in Silverlake. As for the other, well Janet thought in disgust. However, Janet soon realized that something was wrong. She could tell Mabel… was pretending to be a victim. The relationship between the sisters must be bad. If that’s the case.. it’ll be interesting. With that in mind, Janet looked away and introduced herself again. She also cooperated with the etiquette teacher to give the socialites a nonchalant etiquette lesson. Throughout the entire process, she observed Mabel from time to time. As expected, she realized Mabel was not a kind girl like the etiquette teacher had said. On the contrary, Mabel was scheming. This further proved that the sisters were not on good terms. If the sisters were close, why would Mabel mention that Melody Came from the countryside? This was clearly to deepen everyone’s bad impression of Melody … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 122” »
Chapter 121 As Melody walked toward the man, she said disdainfully, “Your subordinates suck. They can’t even defeat a weak girl like me, Looks like you need to do it yourself. However, I can choose not to hit you. You only need to tell me who the employer who instructed you to cut my hands is.” At the mention of his employer, the man finally recovered from his shock. He was quite satisfied with the price the other party offered. If he could not successfully bring this ugly woman’s hands back, he would not be able to get the money! For money, the man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. “No way! Damn girl, don’t court death!” After that, the man took a retractable dagger from his pocket and pounced on Melody. With the dagger in his hand, the man was very confident, thinking. After all, even if this ugly monster does have some skills, it’s impossible for her to defeat me bare–handed. I had not intended to take this woman’s life, but now, she has infuriated mel‘ The man pounced forward and aimed the dagger at Melody’s heart. However, just as he thought that he was going to stab Melody, the girl who was originally standing still suddenly dodged quickly. The speed was so fast that he missed before he could react. By the time he reacted. Melody had already appeared behind him. “You…” Before he could turn around, Melody kicked him in the back of the knee His subconscious physical reaction made him kneel on the ground. His knee hit the asphalt floor, and it was so painful that he saw stars. However, that was not all. Melody snatched the dagger in his hand away at some point. By the time the pain subsided a little, Melody had already placed the dagger on his neck. The cold and sharp touch made him not dare to move. He said with a trembling voice. “Spare me! Beauty, spare me!” “You don’t know what’s good for you!” Melody stared at the man coldly and said. “I can give you another choice. Tell me who your employer is, or… I’ll cut your throat directly! In any case, this path is deserted. Even if you die, no one will discover you for half a month. By the time they discover you, your corpse might have already decomposed… Have you seen the index of corpse transformation? I think that in half a month, you will be prettier than you are now.” The man was so frightened that his lips started to turn pale. He said with a trembling voice. “No! No! Please don’t kill me. I’m just doing what others paid me to do..” “Cut the crap! Are you going to tell me or not?” Melody pressed the dagger closer to the man’s throat, and a trace of blood immediately seeped out of his dark skin. The man who felt the pain screamed, “Alright! I’ll say it!” Melody raised her eyebrows. “Tell me! Who hired you?” the man said in a panic. “In our line of work, we all wear masks and don’t reveal our real names.” Melody narrowed her eyes. “So you can’t tell me anything? Huh? 1/3 ||| Chapter 121 “No, no, no…” The man quickly said, “Although I don’t know his exact information, I can tell from his clothes that he’s a doctor! He’s wearing a doctor’s surgical gown under his jacket. I’ve had appendicitis surgery before, so I recognize it. Miss, you can think about it yourself. Did you offend anyone who’s a doctor!” “A doctor…” Melody lowered her eyes and counted the doctors she had offended in this life. After all, nothing like this had happened in her previous life, so she could only guess. But soon, Melody locked onto a person. The vice director of Silverlake Hospital. This person didn’t like her from the beginning. He insisted that she was a female liar. After she cured Margaret, he must have hated her to the core. If he w were the one who got someone to ask for her hands, everything would make sense. At the thought of this, Melody narrowed her eyes dangerously. I’m not an idiot whom everyone can bully. He dared to want my hands, right? I’ll make him pay the price!‘ Melody threw away the dagger in her hand and suddenly raised her hand to slash at the back of the man’s neck. The man groaned and his eyes rolled back. He fell to the ground and fainted. Melody used the same method to deal with the others. She only heaved a sigh of relief when everyone was knocked afficonscious. She had not exercised for a long time and her stamina was not as good as before. However, at this moment, Melody suddenly realized what the few people on the ground had in common. All of them had a black tattoo on the back of their hands. The tattoo was none other than a wolf’s head. She had seen this wolf’s head before. When she went to the black market, she saw the same wolf head printed on the pass. It seemed this was an assassin hired by the vice director in the black market. Unfortunately, the abilities of these killers were not enough to threaten her at all. Just as Melody was about to settle the score with the vice director another group of men in black appeared at the alley’s entrance. “Could it be that the vice director hired two groups of assassins? Melody wondered. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 121” »
