Chapter 120 Colin was an impatient person. When he saw Melody stammering and not mentioning the main point, since this matter concerned Beverly, he did not care if it was his first time meeting Melody and directly urged Melody to get to it. It was not that Melody had a bad habit of speaking, but she knew that only by saying this could she attract Colin’s attention and make him take her words seriously. Colin would think she was spouting nonsense if she said too much at first. Seeing that the time was ripe, Melody finally got to the point. I suspect that your wife might have gastrointestinal problems. Although you’re a traditional medicine practitioner, it’s sometimes difficult for traditional medicine practitioners to sense the problems with the stomach by checking the pulse. So I suggest that when you’re free, you can take your wife to a modern hospital for a stomach checkup and a gastroscope or something” Melody calculated the time. Beverly either had not developed stomach cancer yet or was still in the early stages of stomach cancer. The possibility of her being cured was very high. “Intestines?” Colin thought about it and said, “It’s true that my wife’s eating habits are unhealthy. She often skips breakfast. Since you’ve said so, I’ll be more careful in the future. Thank you, Miss Fox.” Melody nodded, unsure if Colin would bring Beverly to the hospital for a gastroscope as soon as possible. However, this was the first time she was meeting Colin today. Some things could not be said too directly. Moreover, it was still carly, so there was no hurry. At the thought of this, Melody did not say anything else. After saying goodbye to Colin, she left the backyard with David. On the way, David kept stealing glances at her. Melody could not help but stop in her tracks and ask with a smile. “Why? Am I so ugly that it makes you curious? Do you want to take a closer look?” “No, no, no!” David waved his hand. “I just think you’re amazing and I’m very envious “Envy me?” Melody laughed self–deprecatingly and said, “If you know me, you definitely won’t envy me.” as not the worst in the world. However, it must be much worse than David’s Her life was To die at the hands of her stepsister and the person she loved the most, this kind of pain was something that ordinary people would not be able to experience. However, David revealed an even more envious expression. Then, he sighed and said, “Miss Fox, you’re so young, but you can already have such a master as your teacher. In the future, you might even have the chance to consult in Herbathrive. But I can only be a clerk now…” Melody’s expression changed. Her expression darkened as she warned, “David, I trusted you, and that’s why I didn’t avoid you when I talked about my teacher. So, I hope I won’t hear you mention my teacher again in the future, and don’t mention the conversation I had with Mr. Herbert to anyone.” David realized he had said too much and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry! Miss Fox, I just subconsciously..” “Please control your subconsciousness in the future, Melody said solemnly. David quickly replied, “Okay!” Seeing that he was extremely regretful and guilty, Melody no longer had a dark expression and only said, “It’s good that you 14 Chapter 120 remember. I still have to go back and make the medicine. I’ll leave first “Take care!” David bowed respectfully to Melody. At first, David only felt guilty toward Melody and was grateful that Melody knew about his mistake but helped him hide it. However, now that he knew that Melody might be the disciple of a master like Quentin, he respected Melody even more because he wanted to learn traditional medicine well. Seeing this. Melody was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she said, “If I can come to Herbathrive to consult in the future. I suggest to Mr. Herbert that you help me.” “Really?” David’s eyes instantly lit up. Melody nodded and instructed, “Learn from your teacher well. Even if you’re only a clerk now, if you want to become a good traditional medicine practitioner, you have to be familiar with the medicinal properties of all the herbs before you can prescribe an effective prescription.” “Okay!” David straightened his back and almost bowed to Melody again. Melody did not stay any longer and left with the herbs.. Herbathrive was near an ancient city in Silverlake. There were many tourists, and online taxis were not allowed to enter at will, so it was not easy to get a car. Melody carried the herbs and prepared to take a taxi after walking farther. However, when she took a shortcut and passed by a small alley, she saw a few men in black clothes and black masks standing at the intersection in front. She subconsciously turned her head to look behind her. A few men in black were standing there at the alley’s entrance. At this moment, she was alone in the alley. There was no doubt these people were coming for her. Melody narrowed her eyes coldly and asked, “Who are you? Who sent you here?” The man in black in front sneered and walked forward. “Someone paid for your hands. You’d better cooperate, lest my saber misses. “Buying my hands? Melody curled her lips coldly and clenched her fists. “Come on then. Let’s see if you can take my hands away.” When the man heard this, his eyes, which were not covered by the mask, revealed a surprised expression. Usually, when young girls of this age encountered such a thing, they would have fainted or screamed in fear This ugly freak in front of me has some guts. The man quite admired Melody. However, he had to do his job after taking the money. It was useless no matter how much he admired her. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 120” »

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 119 Just as she was about to say her teacher’s name, Melody hesitated. After all, her teacher did not want the world to know he was still alive. However, the person in front of her was Colin. With her understanding of him, he would not tell anyone. After hesitating for two seconds. Melody continued decisively, “My teacher’s name is Quentin Parker” As soon as Melody finished speaking, Colin’s pupils dilated visibly. He even staggered two steps back, looking extremely shocked. When David saw this, he could not help but ask in confusion, “Mr. Herbert, who is Quentin? Why do you have such a big reaction?” David’s voice rang out, and Colin recovered from his shock. His voice was a little hoarse as he said, “If we have a ranking in the traditional medicine world, he’s the number one,” After Colin said this. David’s eyes widened in surprise. The two of them looked at Melody and revealed looks of disbelief. “Miss Fox is the disciple of a medical big shot? No wonder I had never seen the prescriptions written by her elsewhere every time: David thought. On the other hand, Colin remained hesitant He asked, “Although I’ve never seen Mr. Parker, I’ve heard from my master that he’s been dead for many years. May I ask when Mr. Parker took you in as his student?” “When I was four” When she said this, Melody’s expression was calm, making Colin feel that she did not seem to be lying, “If this is true… Should I still call this young lady my teacher? This is because Quentin had never really taken in a disciple. If this young lady is telling the truth, her medical skills must be better than mine. In this way. Deathtenaire won’t be used to harm others. It is because Mr. Parker’s judgment was accurate. He was also strict when accepting disciples. He couldn’t find someone with evil intentions to be his disciple. With that in mind, Colon could not help but scrutinize Melody seriously. After a while, Colin said, “Although you mentioned Mr. Parker’s name, many people in the traditional medicine community knew about him. I’m still not sure if what you said is true. Do you have any way to prove it?” Melody thought about it and said. “My teacher doesn’t want the world to know he’s still alive, so I can’t call him over to prove it for me. However, I can use the medical skills that my teacher taught me to prove it. If a patient with a difficult illness comes to Herbathrive, you can inform me, and I’ll treat him. At that time, you can judge if what I said is true. How about that?” Upon hearing this, Colin thought for a few seconds and nodded. “Alright. If you can prove it with your medical skills, I can give you Deathtenaire for free. I can also make an exception and hire you to come to Herbathrive for consultation.” Herbathrive had become the biggest traditional medicine shop and clinic in Silverlake. They had more than twenty doctors here. Money was not that important to Colin. Melody was not surprised to hear this. She extended her hand to Colin and said, “Then it’s settled. I wish us a happy cooperation in advance Just as Colin was about to extend his hand, he heard footsteps behind him. Then, an elegant and gentle voice sounded. “Colin, are there guests?” Chapter 119 Melody hurriedly looked up and happened to meet Beverly’s gaze. The current Beverly did not look sick at all. She looked radiant. She was wearing an ink–colored dress, looking gentle and elegant Colin could not be bothered to shake Melody’s hand anymore. He quickly walked over and held his wife’s hand. “Did I wake you up?” Beverly shook her head, “Look at the time. I should get up too.” As she spoke, she looked at Melody again and asked. “And she is “A customer who came to buy rare medicinal herbs. Colin said briefly. Since Melody said Quentin did not want everyone to know he was still alive, Colin thought there was no need to say anything else. Beverly nodded as she said. Then I won’t disturb you guys anymore. I’ll go and make lunch for you. David, what do you want to eat for lunch?” “I want to eat…” David stopped mid–sentence. When he met Colin’s stern gaze, he shrunk his neck and said, “I can eat anything. Don’t tire yourself out.” Mr. Herbert has always doted on his wife. If I named any complicated dishes, I’d be reprimanded by Mr. Herbert later. David thought. Alright, I’ll make whatever I want.” As Beverly spoke, she nodded slightly at Melody and walked toward the room where the kitchen was. Not long after, smoke rose from the kitchen chimney. It was Beverly starting a fire Beverly had an accidental miscarriage in her early years. After that, she did not get pregnant again. However, Colin did not mind. He still doted on Beverly very much and even took better care of her than before the miscarriage. Melody could not help but sigh in her heart. Such a harmonious and happy family had been destroyed by illness in my previous life. This time, I’m going to do everything I can. Not only will I change my fate, but I also want to change the fate of everyone I care about” When Colin saw smoke rising from the kitchen, he was anxious to help Beverly, so he sped up and said to Melody. “Miss Fox, if there are patients with difficult illnesses another day. I’ll get David to call you over. David, exchange your contact information with Miss Fox’s. I’ll go get busy first.” After Colin finished speaking, he was about to walk into the kitchen, looking like he loved his wife dearly. Melody was a little envious. Colin was the only good man she had ever seen. Although Beverly had a short life in her previous life, the days she lived must have been blissful. Melody couldn’t get such happiness, but she hoped to see more of it I have to save Beverly! When Melody thought of this, she hurriedly called out to Colin, “Mr. Herbert!” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 119” »
Chapter 118 “Mr. Ken. I just received news that Wendell went to meet the chairman of Taynorma Capital. Do I need to stop him?” James asked “No need Ken’s tone was calm as if he had expected this James was stummed on the other end of the phone. Two seconds later, his voice came. “Aren’t we going to do anything? Isn’t that letting him off too lightly?” Ken raised his eyebrows slightly. “Don’t worry, he won’t be able to do anything.” The first thing he did when he entered the headquarters was to chase Wendell, Astrid’s right–hand man, out of the headquarters. Without Wendell monitoring him in the headquarters, it would be much easier for Ken to do things. Naturally, he would not let Wendell off so easily. From Ken’s tone, James knew Ken must have had a plan. After realizing this, James was no longer anxious. He responded and asked, “Where are you now? Are you still going back to the headquarters” Tm on my way.” Ken replied. Okay, I’ll wait for you at headquarters. After saying that, James did not waste his breath and quickly ended the call. David eagerly greeted Melody with the herbs as soon as she entered Herbathrive. “Miss Fox, you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you.” Melody nodded slightly. After taking the herbs, she asked. “Is your boss here now?” “Yes.” David paused and asked, “Didn’t you say you won’t look for our boss for a while?” Melody smiled. “I suddenly made a fortune. Where is he? Can you help me call him?” “Of course! I’ll bring you there now. With that, David hurriedly led the way eagerly Melody followed closely behind. She knew Herbathrive well and did not need David to lead the way. However, she still pretended to be curious and looked around it to not arouse David’s suspicion. David brought her to the backyard. The backyard was different from the lobby in front. It was a courtyard house. This was a place with a classic lifestyle. There were beautiful flowers and plants everywhere. The environment was quiet, and there were no modern appliances As a result, although this place was in an international and modern metropolis like Silverlake, they could see butterflies and bees there “Please wait a moment. I’ll go get Mr. Herbert,” said David. Melody nodded and closed her eyes to feel the familiar atmosphere. 1/3 ||| David knocked on the door of one of the rooms in the courtyard house. A familiar voice came from inside, “What is it?” “Mr. Herbert, a customer wants to buy medicinal herbs from you.” David reported respectfully. Melody opened her eyes and saw a charmingly naive middle–aged man standing before David. The man’s name was Colin Herbert. He used to be a traditional medicine practitioner. He then opened his traditional medicine shop and gradually developed it into the Herbathrive. Colin’s medical skills were not bad either. In Melody’s previous life. Colin had helped her many times and taught her many things. He could be considered half a teacher to her and was also her good friend. Later on, because of the death of his wife, Beverly Herbert, Colin became more and more haggard. His health deteriorated day by day. When he was about to collapse, he handed over Herbathrive to Melody to manage. However, at this moment, the man who was on the verge of death was still full of energy. Melody opened her mouth, and her eyes could not help but tear up. She almost blurted out the words “Mr. Herbert“. Beverly was an extremely gentle person who loved life very much. In this life, Melody wanted to change the ending of Colin and Beverly Melody clenched her fists and quickly came back to her senses. When she returned to her senses, she realized Colin was also sizing her up. The moment their eyes met, Melody hid the hot tears in her eyes and pretended to be distant and polite as she greeted, “Sir.” However. Colin did not miss the moment when tears filled Melody’s eyes. He could not help but feel strange. Why did this little girl look at me as if she was looking at a family member who had been separated for a long time? I don’t remember having such a distant relative. Did I see it wrongly? Colin rubbed his eyes and saw Melody’s smile was polite and distant. Her expression from before was no longer there. “Sure enough, I was mistaken… With that in mind, Colin nodded slightly and walked forward to ask. “Miss, what medicinal herbs do you want to buy?” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 118” »
Chapter 117 “What’s up?” Melody smiled and turned to ask Ken. Ken walked past her without even looking at her. If he hadn’t said “come here when they brushed past each other she would have thought that she was hallucinating. This person… He does have principles, but he needs to correct this attitude that emanates from his bones and thinks he is the boss! With those thoughts in mind, Melody pursed her lips. After stopping for two seconds, she followed Ken. Ken got into his Maybach. Melody stood by the car window, not knowing what Ken meant. “Was I hallucinating? While Melody was hesitating, the passenger window rolled down and Ken’s deep voice could be heard. “What are you waiting for? Get in the car!” “Alright, it seemed like I wasn’t hallucinating Melody hesitated for a moment. Then, she canceled the online car reservation and got into Ken’s car. Since there was a free ride, it would be at a waste not to o take it. Although she had earned 10 million dollars from Janet today, this 10 million dollars was still too little to buy medicinal herbs. After all, besides the styling shop that Wilmot had given her and the little salary from Ken, she had no other source of income. She needed to save every dollar she could. Before Ken could speak, Melody said, “I’m going to Herbathrive. Thank you? Ken glanced at her coldly and asked, “You’re treating me like a driver?” “No, no.” Melody waved her hand obsequiously. “I thought you were a good person, so I wanted you to give me a ride.” “A good person?” Ken chuckled. “Then you’ve misjudged me. “I didn’t misjudge you.” Melody became serious and said, “You handled this matter fairly today and were not biased toward, Janet. I can tell you’re a good person from this matter.” “Think what you want.” Ken looked like he didn’t care. The world of adults had never been one where right and wrong were clearly distinguished. There had to be a gray area between right and wrong. He was not a good person. He was in a gray ay area and could walk on both sides anytime. As for the “good person” that Melody mentioned, he knew she was praising him, but for some reason, being called “a good. person” made him a little unhappy. However, he could not be bothered to dwell on this matter. He stepped on the accelerator and drove toward Herbathrive. Just as the car was about to reach the entrance of Herbathrive, Ken suddenly said, “Is money that important to you?” “Yes. It’s important. It’s hard to move a single step without money. A wealthy man like you won’t understand, Melody replied. Ken glanced at her and said, “You saved my grandmother. Even if you don’t have money, Russell won’t let you go hungry now. 1/3 “I know” Melody shrugged. “Then why do you need money so much? Even the gifts I gave you as the thank–you gift. You even want to sell them,” said Ken Melody smiled apologetically and said, Tm sorry. I really shouldn’t sell gifts, but I have no choice… I’m very short of money Ken stepped on the brakes and asked Melody seriously, “What do you want so much money for? Or are you a gold digger to begin with?” Tm not a gold digger. Melody muttered softly After hesitating for two seconds, she decided to tell the truth. She pointed to her face and said. “Do you see my face!” Ken glanced at her and said expressionlessly. Tm not blind” “Im not talking about that. I’m talking about what’s on my face She sighed and said, “I need to remove the red spots and acne on my face. It requires a lot of expensive herbs” Ken was stunned. He had no idea Melody kept talking about money for this reason. “How much do you need?” he asked. I didn’t calculate it carefully. Previously, I thought millions of dollars would be enough. However, now that I’ve carefully understood the price. I realize I can’t do it without tens of millions of dollars,” said Melody. If it were an ordinary poison, she could fix her face quickly. However, this poison was administered by her teacher to protect her Her teacher’s medical skills were unparalleled in the world, but his poison–making skills were even better than his medical skills. She had cured her face after making a name for herself in her previous life, so she did not remember how much she had spent on herbs. “Tens of millions of dollars… Ken understood. Not to mention whether Russell had this amount, even if he did, he would probably not be willing to spend money on Melody. “That’s right.” Melody spread her hands and said, “So now you know why I need money so much, right?” Ken looked … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 117” »
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 1/3 ။ “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 … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 116” »
Chapter 115 Melody shrugged and said calmly. “There’s no need to apologize It’s not worth much. I still have other things to do. Since Ken’s here, let’s explain it clearly so you won’t waste my time in the future.” She gritted her teeth. Melody’s attitude was too arrogant. She had never been treated like this before. Janet was so angry that she trebled. However, she calmed down then and sneered in her heart. Could it be that when Melody saw Ken asking me to apologize, she thought Ken was on her side? Based on my understanding of Ken, Ken was just too straightforward, so much so that he dealt with everyone’s matters impartially. Janet believed that if the person who faked the fall were Melody, he would also make Melody apologize. However, after Melody’s reminder. Janet finally remembered her main purpose for calling Ken over. “Ken Janet immediately perked up and said. “I called you here because Miss Fox tried to break into the Silverlake Building and deceive the people at the counter” Melody crossed her arms and said with a faint smile. Trying to break into the Silverlake Building? Miss Murphy, if I’m not mistaken, the Silverlake Building should be a shopping mall. The shopping mall is open to customers. Don’t you think you’re using the wrong word when you say I broke into it?” Using the wrong word! If I remember correctly. Melody’s academic qualifications are only in junior college. I’m an outstanding graduate from a first–rate international university. In terms of understanding of vocabulary, Melody is not qualified to compare to me. Janet glanced at Melody in disdain and said. Do you not know if I used the wrong words?” Ken looked at Janet and then at Melody. He frowned and asked, “Why did you call me here?” Janet pointed at Melody and said, “She didn’t buy any luxury goods from Silverlake Building, but she insisted on going in to return the goods. Ken, you know that the rule of Silverlake Building is that once the goods are sold, they can’t be returned. Yet, she wants to go in and return the goods. Isn’t she lying with the goal of extortion?” Janet was sure that Melody had never come to Silverlake Building to shop because she had specially sent someone to investigate just in case when she was waiting for Ken Indeed, there was no record of Melody purchasing anything from Silverlake Building, so Janet was sure Melody was trying, to gain something from nothing. After saying that, Janet questioned Melody, “Even if you shopped inside and plan to return the goods, show me the receipt when you bought them.” After Ken heard Jane’s explanation, he roughly understood what happened. Melody had specially called him to ask for a receipt in the morning. So, she wants to refund the gifts I chose for her. Is money that important to her? What exactly does she need money for? Ken wondered. Out of curiosity, Ken also wanted to see how Melody would respond. Therefore, he did not speak and only stood silently at the side. Melody originally planned to wait for Ken to explain to help her but when she saw that he was silent and looked like he was watching a good show, she could not help but curl her lips, thinking, ‘Stupid man! Is it so difficult to explain to help me?” Melody was also a little angry after being delayed for so long. She looked coldly at Janet with her gloomy eyes. Then, the corners of her lips curled up and she slowly said, “What if I had indeed bought these two bags from Silverlake Building?” Janet snorted from the tip of her nose. “If I’m in the wrong, I can get down on my knees and apologize to you. Is that okay?” 1/3 the blurted out Other than kneeling in the family’s ancestral hall, she had never knelt to anyone. Moreover, she had already checked the purchase records. She was sure she was not mistaken. Tik get down on your knees. Melody looked Janet up and down before her gaze landed on her smooth knees. “Such beautiful knees. What a pity” Janet glared at her. “I can’t be wrong, so I don’t need to get down on my knees to you! On the other hand, if you came intending to extort and lie. I’ll send you to the police station immediately and not spare you for anyone’s sake.” This “anyone referred to Ken “Is that so. Melody deliberately dragged out the word. Her interested expression made Janet panic. Could it be that… Had I made a mistake! But how was that possible? Even if I was wrong, the person in charge of checking the purchase records in the building couldn’t. Melody must be pretending to be calm and wanted me to retreat first. Thinking of this possibility, Janet sneered and said, Talking so much is a waste of time. Prove you bought your bags in our building. Smce you bought it, there should be a shopping receipt, right? Where are the receipts?” Melody shrugged. “I don’t have a receipt Janet was overjoyed. I knew it Then, she talked to Ren, “Ken, I told you. She’s just a ” Before Janet could finish her sentence, Melody said again. “But someone has a receipt. Janet’s voice paused, and a bad feeling arose in her heart. In the next second. Melody looked at Ken and said. “Hey, why aren’t you saying anything? How long are you going to hold it in Janet was confused. She asked Ken. “Ken, what does she mean?” Ken narrowed his eyes. It was undeniable that Melody’s tenacity and personality that would never let herself suffer were very similar to his … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 115” »
Chapter 114 Seeing that Melody had hit the building’s security guards to the ground in the blink of an eye. Janet was so angry that her expression darkened. She even forgot her status as a socialite from Insterimond and cursed at the security guards. Melody could not be bothered with Janet and was about to leave However, Janet opened her arms and blocked Melody’s path the next second. She said, “Stop! Don’t even think about leaving before Ken arrives! Since you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for attacking you!” She had learned boxing for a few years. The people who taught her boxing were all experts in the international boxing world. Janet thought it should be more than enough to deal with a country bumpkin like Melody. Melody raised her eyebrows and asked in amusement. “Are you sure you’re going to light me?” “Huh Janet snorted coldly. “Cut the crap and make a move! I can let you make three moves first!” “Although Melody has beaten all the security guards to the ground, these security guards are each older than the other. Melody, a strong country bumpkin, can have a higher chance of winning against them. However, that might not be the case if she fights me… Janet thought. “Alright” Melody nodded. “You said it yourself.” Since Janet has already stretched her face to me, I have no choice but to hit her. With that in mind, Melody quickly threw a punch. Just as Janet was about to block Melody’s fist with her elbow, she suddenly saw a tall figure get out of a Maybach from the comer of her eye. An idea flashed through her mind. Just as Melody’s fist was about to touch her, her entire body automatically fell back With a dull thud. Janet fell to the ground. Melody could not help but be stunned, thinking, I also learned boxing from my teacher, but since when did my punch carry such a strong gust of wind? I swear I didn’t even touch Janet just now! “What the hell are you doing?” A male voice sounded. Melody instinctively felt that something was wrong and subconsciously looked behind. The man who came against the light was tall and straight. His handsome face was perfect, and his entire body exuded a powerful aura. Even though they were more than 32 feet apart, Melody could still feel a powerful pressure. It was none other than Ken. In an instant, Melody immediately understood what Janet had been doing. She was trying to frame Melody. She should have reacted immediately. However, she did not expect Janet to use such a low–level method to frame her. She had overestimated Janet. Janet was not worthy of being her opponent. 1/3 ww Chapter 111 At this moment, Melody nlready knew that Ken would misunderstand her. Because of Janet, she might never be able to ally with Ken again. However, it did not matter. In her previous life, she had become powerful alone. In this life, she could also rely on herself “Ken… Janet fell to the ground. She said with red eyes. “Miss Fox is too much! I only asked her to cooperate with my investigation. Not only did she hit the security of my building, but she also hit me!” When Melody heard this, she almost rolled her eyes in annoyance. “How low–levell It’s too low–level! Even the framing words are the same as those in a television drama. There is nothing novel about it at all, Melody mocked in her heart. “Huh.” Melody did not want to defend herself and only stood on the spot and laughed mockingly. “What’s the saying again? Those who understand me don’t need me to explain, and it’s useless to explain to those who don’t understand me, Melody thought Ken walked up to Janet.. Just as Melody thought that he would reach out and help Janet up, she saw Ken standing there straight. He had no intention of reaching out to help the beauty up. ‘Does he not know how to be gentle with women? Or does he plan to “criticize” me first before helping Janet up?” wondered In the next second, Ken said expressionlessly, Janet. I’m not blind” Melody Melody could not help but be stunned. She wondered what Ken meant. Was it as what I think now? Had he seen everything. just now? Had he seen that I had not pushed Janet, and Janet fell herself?” Janet also widened her eyes in shock A great sense of panic surged toward her like a tidal wave She called out in disbelief, “Ken“” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 114” »
Chapter 113 It turned out that the shopping mall in the Silverlake Building belonged to Janet’s family. Melody had forgotten about this Even if she had a receipt now, Melody knew she couldn’t successfully return the goods Since that was the case, she might as well not waste time and saliva and leave directly However, just as Melody took a step forward, Janet immediately gave the security guard a look The security guard was also good at reading people’s expressions. He immediately understood and stepped forward to block Melody’s path. Melody frowned unhappily. She stared at Janet with her gloomy eyes. Then, she asked coldly, “What do you mean?” Janet raised her chin slightly, revealing her beautiful collarbone. She said indifferently, “I don’t mean anything. I only want to do things according to our rules. Now, Miss Fox, please cooperate with me to check if you’re a liar.” Janet was 100% certain that Melody had never come to the Silverlake Building to buy luxury goods. After she learned Melody and Ken had registered their marriage, she investigated Melody thoroughly Melody’s mother was Russell’s ex–wife. Melody had been raised in the countryside since she was young. Now that she had. returned to Silverlake, she was very neglected by the Fox family. The Fox family was only middle–class and could not even be considered wealthy. In addition, Russell was famous for being a miser. He couldn’t let his ugly daughter, Melody, enter the Silverlake Building to shop. Moreover, the two bags in Melody’s hands did not fit her age. Therefore, Melody either stole the bag of Russell’s current wife or bought fake goods to impute Silverlake Building No matter what, as long as they found out, Melody’s reputation would be ruined. How could she not seize such a good opportunity to destroy Melody? Melody frowned deeply and said, “As I said, these two bags were indeed bought from Silverlake Building, but now I’ve changed my mind and don’t plan to return them. So you have no right to investigate me now. However, when Melody said this, Janet was even more certain that one of her guesses was correct. “You’re indeed guilty!” Janet sneered and reminded the security guard. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call the police.” “Okay! Miss Murphy!” The security guard picked up his phone and was about to call the police Melody hurriedly reached out and snatched the security guard’s phone away. She turned to look at him coldly and said to Janet, “Please stop before you go too far! If we make a fuss, it won’t be good for our reputation.” Janet nodded. “That’s right. If the matter is exposed, you won’t be able to survive in the socialite’s circle in Silverlake anymore. Of course, it’ll ruin your reputation. But guess what? I insist on exposing you! But since you’re so afraid I’ll call the police, I won’t.” After saying that, Janet took out her phone and dialed Ken’s number. “Ken, do you have time now? I have an emergency here. I’ll wait for you at the entrance of Block A of Silverlake Building.” Then, Janet hung up without waiting for Ken’s reply. She didn’t give Ken any time to refuse. 1/3 ||| Chapter 113 After the call, Janet called a few more security guards and surrounded Melody, not giving her a chance to leave. Now that things had developed to such a state, Melody was no longer anxious. Since Janet was so stubborn and wanted to cause trouble, she would accompany her to the end! ‘Let’s see who will be embarrassed in the end! Melody thought. Janet looked at Melody, who could not escape. She said slowly. “Melody, you were the one who didn’t let me call the police. I informed Ken, and he will be here soon. At that time, he will know what your true colors are!” “Okay, then I’ll wait for Ken to see my true colors. She bent down to blow the dust off the steps, then sat down calmly and waited. Janet looked at how Melody was still pretending to be calm even when she was about to die and felt even more disdainful She is indeed from the countryside. She is sordid, tactful, and crude. I can’t believe she dared to lie to derive in Silverlake Building. She’s stupid and evil. I wonder why Ken would agree to register his marriage with a fool like Melody. Wasn’t he afraid of dirtying his own identity? Janet thought to herself On the other side. Ken, who received the call, ignored Janet’s call However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had bought the gifts for Melody at the Silverlake Building For some reason, he had a vague feeling that this call might be related to Melody Ken sat on the office chair for two seconds, then suddenly got up, picked up his suit jacket, and walked out Just as he was about to reach the door, James knocked before coming in. “Mr. Ken James almost bumped into Ken. He quickly stepped back and raised the document bag in his hand. Tve obtained the data of Taynorma Capital that you asked me to collect. Do you want to read it now?” “Put it on the table first. I’m going out for a while. After saying that, Ken walked out Before James could ask, Ken had already walked far away. At the entrance of Block A of Silverlake Building. Melody was already sitting on the steps and waiting anxiously, but she still did not see Ken. She stood up impatiently. Then, she said, “Miss Murphy, my time is precious. You’ve already wasted too much of my time. Now, I’m leaving” Melody stood up and was about to leave. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 113” »
Chapter 112 Mabel had seen this card a few times, but this was the first time she held it herself. The pass was black and had a silver–gray wolf head printed on it. It looked especially treacherous. It was said that this was a pass that her mother had asked someone to buy at a high price. One could enter the underground black market in Silverlake with it. At this moment, a small sound came from the bedroom. Her mother was awake! Mabel was shocked. She quickly closed the safe and placed the pass in her pocket. Then, she walked toward the bedroom with a smile. She asked, “Mom, you’re up?” Yolanda nodded and said sleepily, “What are you doing here? Isn’t it almost time for class?” “Yeah, I came to tell you I’m going to school,” said Mabel. “There’s no need to inform me… I’m already satisfied with your intentions. Hurry up and go to school. I heard that you’ll be meeting a socialite from Insterimond today. If possible, you must make friends with that lady” Yolanda instructed. Compared to Insterimond, Silverlake was still insignificant. There were wealthy families everywhere in Insterimond. In comparison, those families in Silverlake were much inferior. If Mabel could build a connection with people from Insterimond, her net worth might increase. “I know, Mom. I’ve already asked around. That socialite’s name is Janet. She seems to have just returned from studying abroad. Our etiquette teacher taught her etiquette in the past. She only agreed to come after the etiquette teacher begged her thousands of times. I’ll perform well and try to be good friends with her,” said Mabel “It’s good that you know, Go quickly. Although it’s still early, the situation today is special. Go over early.” Yolanda urged. Mabel replied, “Okay, Mom, I’m leaving! By the way, I don’t need a driver today. Perhaps I can use the excuse of not having a driver to hitch a ride with that Miss Murphy” “Alright, it’s good that you know how to socialize. Go. As for Melody, don’t conflict with her for the time being. Your father’s attitude toward her is different now. Don’t make him unhappy. Yolanda reminded. Mabel nodded and hurriedly went out. Yolanda looked at Mabel’s back and felt that something was wrong. A bad feeling involuntarily surfaced in her heart. “What’s wrong with me?” Yolanda asked herself silently. She couldn’t help but press her temples. The bad feeling slowly dissipated. She thought she probably didn’t sleep well. Last night, to please Russell, she tossed and turned until the sky turned bright before she fell asleep. She was getting on in years, and her energy in that area was not as good as before. When she woke up, her entire body was sore, as if her body was about to fall apart. Yolanda sighed, covered herself with the blanket, and continued sleeping. On the other side, Mabel had also called for a ride online. However, she did not go to the training school. Instead, she went 1/3 ||| to the black market. At the same time, Melody arrived at the gate to Silverlake Building’s shopping mall. Block A of Silverlake Huilding gathered top international luxury brands and many famous brands of the country. The people who shopped here were either rich or noble. Melody was about to enter when she was stopped by the security guard at the door. “Kid, if you’re not shopping, you’re not allowed to visit this place The security guard looked at Melody in disdain, thinking. Not only is this girl dressed plainly, but she is also terribly ugly. If such a person enters, it will easily affect the shopping mood of the distinguished VIP guests.” Melody was already used to people who despised her. Without changing her expression, she explained to the security guard, Tm here to return the goods.” “Return?” The security guard sneered and said, “Girl, aren’t you lying through your teeth? Putting aside the fact that the goods in Silverlake Building are not returnable, look at you. Did you buy your things from the Silverlake Building for real? If don’t want to be chased out by the counter staff later, you’d better leave now to prevent yourself from being you embarrassed” “You…” Melody frowned tightly. Even used to it, she was a little anxious and angry now. At this moment, a cold female voice sounded from behind. “Isn’t this Miss Fox?” Melody subconsciously turned her head and met Janet’s half–smiling eyes. “Miss Murphy Melody nodded politely and said, “What a coincidence to bump into you here.” Janet smiled slightly in response. The security guard’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw it was Janet. He went forward obsequiously. “Miss Murphy, what brings you here? Are you here to inspect? Why didn’t you tell them in advance so that I could tell them to prepare your favorite refreshments in advance?” “No need. I’m just here to buy some gifts for someone,” said Janes. Someone invited Janet to give an etiquette class to the socialites in Silverlake today. Naturally, she had to give some luxury goods to those socialites to make herself look rich and generous. However, Janet did not expect to see Melody being rejected by the security guard on this trip. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 112” »
Chapter 111 Astrid was so angry that she held her forehead and said, “Idiot! Of course, you need to return the money to Taynorma Capital “But…” Wendell stammered. “What You’re about to be chased out of the Swanson Group, yet you still feel sorry for this 10 million dollars?” Astrid asked. “No, but..” Wendell gritted his teeth and stammered. “I’ve already used up the 10 million dollars…. “You used it up? What about your other money? You’ve been in the Swanson Group for so long. You must have made some money. Don’t tell me you can’t even save 10 million dollars! Tell me honestly, did you gamble again?” Astrid asked furiously. Wendell saw that he could not hide it anymore, so he could only tell the truth. “T… Astrid, I won’t gamble anymore in the future! Please save me this time!” “You! You’re driving me crazy!” Astrid was so angry that her migraine was about to flare up. However, the other party was her biological brother and she needed her people in the Swanson Group. In the end, she could only transfer 10 million dollars to Wendell. She said. “This is the last time! I definitely won’t help you next time! Also, you’d better find a traditional medicine practitioner who can perform nine–line acupuncture in three days. Otherwise, you’ll have to return this 10 million dollars to me” When Wendell heard this, he agreed repeatedly. It was just a traditional medicine practitioner. Compared to 10 million dollars, it was nothing. “Don’t worry, Astrid. I’ll find a doctor for Ulric and treat his legs, said Wendell. That better be the case!” Astrid said and hung up. If the other party weren’t her biological brother, she wouldn’t care about this idiot. “He can’t do anything right!” Astrid scolded as she found Ulric and quickly told him Ken was already in charge of the headquarters pro tempore. Ulric said with a dark expression, “I had no idea about this. It seems Ken is more important than me in Father’s heart.” “How is that possible? You’re his son too. He can’t be so biased that he won’t give you anything, Astrid comforted him. Ulric sneered with a complicated expression and said, “If Father weren’t biased, why did he still protect Ken even though Ken crippled my legs and didn’t let us call the police? If I was the one who crippled Ken’s legs back then, do you think Father would have let me off?” “Of course, he would!” Astrid blurted out. She gritted her teeth. She knew very well that her status in Ramon’s heart wasn’t as high as his ex–wife’s, but she firmly believed that after being by his side for so many years, Ramon must have her and her son in his heart. At the thought of this, Astrid said, “He protected Ken and didn’t let us call the police because he didn’t want to expose his dirty laundry Is that the case?” Ulric looked at Astrid deeply and said, “Or do you think Father won’t suspect my legs?” Astrid felt a chill down her spine and subconsciously denied it. He can’t possibly suspect anything!” 1/3 O Although she said that, Astrid started to panic for no reason. “Let’s not dwell on this anymore.” Ulric looked away and said coldly, Tm telling you this because I want to tell you that if I will remove all obstacles for the Swanson Group, induding Father!” necessary, Astrid’s back stiffened, but she didn’t say anything to dissuade him. In her heart, her son was much more important than her husband. “How’s the search for the doctor who can perform nine–line acupuncture?” Ulric grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair and asked. It was difficult for him to move. Although he could walk, he could only rely on his walking stick and could not walk far. Therefore, he had to rely on Astrid to do many things. At the mention of the doctor who could perform nine–line acupuncture, Astrid quickly said, “I’m looking for him. I’ve also asked your uncle to help me find one. As you know, although your uncle is unreliable, he knows all kinds of people. He might have more connections than me.” “As soon as possible. We don’t have much time left. If Ken stays in the headquarters for too long, and things become like at the Insterimond branch, we won’t be able to shake his position. “I know. I’ll do it as soon as possible!” said Astrid. After the mother and son finished talking about Ken, Ulric mentioned Melody again. “Keep an eye on that ugly freak too. It’s best if we can get rid of her directly. Although I don’t know why, I feel a little uneasy.” “Melody?” Astrid smiled coldly and said, “Don’t worry. I just heard that Fairlee from the court is finding trouble with her. Her nephew is still lying in the hospital. She can’t take this lying down. Fairlee will help us destroy Melody without us doing anything.” “Very good… In that case, there’s no need to reveal Ken’s marriage to the public now. Otherwise, it won’t be good if Fairlee retreats because of the Swanson family.” Ulric reminded his mother. “I know. How can I not even know this?” Astrid said. As the mother and son spoke, they fell into a dead silence, each making plans. On the other side, Melody took out the two most valuable bags from the pile of gifts and put them in the bags before walking out. Although she didn’t have a receipt, she still planned to go to the counter and ask whether she could get a refund. After all, she hadn’t even opened the box. However, when she passed by the hall, Melody happened to bump into Mabel, who was about to go out to attend the socialite training class. She ignored Mabel, but Mabel stuck to her like a sticky candy. When she saw Melody taking a taxi on her phone, she pretended to be surprised and asked, “Melody, didn’t Dad arrange a driver for you? Dad is too much. You’ve been back for so long, but he still hasn’t assigned you a driver. After I return from school tonight, I’ll help you talk to Dad. Or I’ll get Dad to lend you the driver he assigned to me.” When Melody heard this, she stopped and suddenly paused. “Do you hear anything?” When Mabel heard this, she subconsciously shut up and listened. She, she shook her head. “No, what did you hear!” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 111” »
