Chapter 110 It could be said that none of the people present had clean hands Wendell was the one who was exposed by Ken in public today, but who knew that it would not be one of them who would be exposed tomorrow? For a moment, the higher–ups panicked. They were busy cleaning up their mess. No one dared to find trouble with Ken again. At the same time, Wendell caught up with Ken and tried his best to get back the Taynorma Capital project. However, although Ken was young, his words were watertight. He even accidentally made Wendell almost fall into the word trap again and admit that he had indeed obtained benefits from Taynorma Capital. After the conversation. Wendell broke out in a cold sweat. He finally realized that, with Ken’s sophistication, he couldn’t deal with Ken. Helpless, Wendell could only grit his teeth and leave. However, soon as he returned to his office, he made a call. The call was picked up very quickly. Wendell said anxiously, “Astrid! You have to save me!” On the other end of the line, Astrid was surprised to receive a call from her biological brother. After hearing Wendell say, “Save me,” an ominous feeling instantly arose in her heart. However, this was not the first time Wendell had caused her trouble, so Astrid quickly calmed herself down and asked impatiently, “Wendell, what trouble did you cause me again? Were you arrested at the nightclub again?” Wendell gritted his teeth. “Why would I go to a nightclub in broad daylight? It’s about the company’s business!” Hearing this. Astrid became more serious. “What’s wrong with the company? Didn’t Ramon go on a business trip? If he’s not around, you should be able to resolve the trouble you caused yourself, right?” When Wendell heard Astrid’s tone, he finally felt something was wrong. He said, “Wait… Astrid, don’t tell me you still don’t know.” “I don’t know what?” Astrid was confused. “Ken! Ken came to the headquarters to work!” said Wendell anxiously. “What?” Astrid raised her voice. Wendell continued, “It seems like you don’t know… Ramon is on a business trip for at least a week or a month. Ken will be in charge of the company’s affairs when he’s not around!” Astrid’s hand, holding the corner of her shirt, instantly turned pale, and a big panic surged in her heart. “L. I don’t know. He never told me….” “Oh! I don’t know what to say about you. You’ve been thinking about how to deal with Ken all day. You even sacrificed Ulric’s legs. Now, when Ken is about to snatch the company, you know nothing about it?” Wendell sighed. Astrid gritted her teeth and exhaled heavily. For the sake of her biological son inheriting the Swanson Group she worked day and night, constantly trying to please Ramon. 1/3 In the end, Ramon wanted to hand the company to Ken to manage without telling her. This made her almost unable to maintain her rationality. After a while, Astrid regained some of her rationality and tried to remain calm as she asked, “Where’s Ken? Has he gone to work?” “That’s right! I only learned it when Ken stopped the board meeging, but I thought you already knew! What should we do now?” Wendell asked. Astrid gritted her teeth, took a few deep breaths, and said, “We can’t panic. Ramon has no intention of retiring at all. I think he made this arrangement firstly to see Ken’s ability, and secondly, he might want to find a reliable person to help him manage the company temporarily. After all, Ken is his biological son. No one could be more reliable than his son.” Wendell sighed and stomped his foot. He could not help but complain, “Back then, I didn’t think it was a good idea when you said that you wanted Ulric to cripple his legs. But the two of you were very persistent. But now, Ramon still protects Ken, although he believes it’s Ken’s doing. Not only that, he even ler Ken enter the headquarters. Ken is only in charge on Ramon’s behalf now, but what about in the future? Will he directy arrange a headquarters for Ken and let Ken be the owner of the Swanson Group?” “No way!” Astrid subconsciously denied this possibility. As far as she was concerned, this was impossible and not allowed However, the current situation was too disadvantageous for her and her son. “I’ll find a doctor to treat his legs quickly. If Ken enters the headquarters, I’ll get Ramon to agree to let Ulric enter the headquarters, too. They’re both Ramon’s biological sons. I don’t believe he’ll be so biased!” Astrid was hysterical. She had to find a traditional medicine practitioner, who could perform the nine–line acupuncture! “Do you know of any famous traditional medicine practitioners? A doctor I brought Ulric to see said we can cure Ulric’s legs. if we find a traditional medicine practitioner who can perform the nine–line acupuncture!” said Astrid. “Traditional medicine practitioners… Who still sees traditional medicine practitioners these days? I know a lot of modern medicine doctors. I’ll help you ask around.” Just like Astrid, Wendell also scoffed at traditional medicine, He felt it was something trashy that should have been obsolete) long ago. Astrid said unhappily, “I’ve seen all the modern medicine doctors! The best orthopedist I’ve seen asked me to find traditional medicine practitioners!” “Alright, alright. Don’t be anxious. I’ll help you find it. Nine–line acupuncture, right? Three days. Give me three days. I’ll help you find it!” said Wendell. Although Wendell often caused trouble, he had connections with the underworld and the politicians. He had a much wider way of finding people than Astrid. Only then did Astrid’s mood improve a little. Thinking of what Wendell had said first when he called, she asked again, “You asked me to save your life. What’s the matter? Ken is just a substitute manager. What can he do to you?” Only then did Wendell remember the serious matter. He immediately told Astrid about Taynorma Capital and what happened in the meeting room. Astrid, who was in a better mood, heard this and her expression immediately turned dark. She scolded, “You idiot! You did such a stupid thing for a mere 10 million dollars! Are you a pig or something?” Astrid scolded Wendell badly, but he could only smile apologetically. “Astrid, my dear sister, my best sister, I know I was wrong, but how can I not want the money that came knocking on my door? Moreover, I didn’t need to do anything after I took the money. All I needed to do was to pretend I didn’t know anything. Who knew Ken would come out of nowhere and

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 109 Ken chuckled softly and said, ‘It seems like you hid under my bel and saw the whole process. I didn’t expect you to have such a hobby. If I had known earlier, I would have bought a high bed to make it easier for you to crawl in.” “You…” The director’s cheeks instantly turned red. He said furiously, “Ken, I’m considered your elder. How can you talk to me like that? Besides, everyone in Silverlake knows what you’ve done. What’s wrong with us talking about it?” “Oh? Does everyone in Silverlake know? Then why don’t I, the person involved, know that I crippled Ulric’s legs? How do you know better than me, the person involved? Don’t tell iné you’re the one who crippled Ulric’s legs. Mr. Hunter.” Ken still looked calm and casual. Although Wendell Hunter said he was related to the Swanson family, he was actually from Astrid’s side. Naturally, he spoke up for Astrid and Ulric. Wendell’s expression instantly darkened. “What nonsense are you talking about? How could I do such a thing!” Ken shrugged nonchalantly and said, “Whether you did this or not, I didn’t see it lying under your bed, so I can’t say. However, regarding the acquisition of Taynorma Capital. Mr. Hunter, you did spend a lot of effort, right?” Ken’s sudden mention of Taynorma Capital made Wendell’s eyes widen in horror. He was in charge of the acquisition project of Taynorma Capital, but when he investigated this company, he realized most of the data submitted by Taynorma Capital was fake. It was not worth the Swanson Group spending a lot of money to buy it. In terms of price, he could have used the fake data to suppress Thynorma Capital, but he did not. Instead, he went to find the chairman of Taynorma Capital at that time with it. The Taynorma Capital’s chairman immediately gave Wendell a lot of benefits to keep his mouth shut, so he naturally filled his wallet. And now, the acquisition was nearing its end and was about to be completed. However, no one else knew about this other than him and the chairman of Taynorma Capital. ‘How did Ken know? Why did he suddenly mention this? Wendell wondered. In his panic, Wendell subconsciously denied it. I didn’t confiscate any benefits from Taynorma Capital! Don’t slander me!” Ken chuckled. “I didn’t say you took benefits from them, Mr. Hunter. Why are you reacting so agitatedly?” Wendell held his breath. Indeed, Ken did not say that he had received any benefits. Wouldn’t what I said just now expose myself? At the thought of this, Wendell’s entire face turned red. He opened his mouth for a long time but couldn’t make a sound, afraid Ken would find any loopholes. However, Wendell’s sudden silence made the other directors feel something was amiss. According to Wendell’s usual personality, he would argue with anyone who slandered him But now, Wendell did not say a word. It was abnormal Could it be true that Mr. Hunter received benefits from Taynorma Capital? But wasn’t it Ken’s first day at the headquarters? How did he know about these things that we don’t know? With the questions in mind, everyone could not help but start to fear Ken. Before the other directors could ask, Ken said, “It’s my first day working at the headquarters today, and this is our first meeting, so let’s not beat around the bush. Now, let’s start our routine meeting… The people present had more or less done something dirty. They were afraid that Ken would know their secret, so they naturally did not dare to argue with Ken. A meeting that should have been filled with bloodshed ended smoothly under Ken’s lead. In the end, Ken suddenly said, “I want to finish the acquisition of Taynorma Capital myself. This is also the first project I’ll do at the headquarters. I hope you guys will cooperate.” When Wendell heard this, his expression immediately turned dark. However, he was afraid Ken already had enough evidence, so he could only smile apologetically. “Ken, I’ve been monitoring this project, and it’s about to be completed, Is it good to let you do it now?” Without waiting for Ken to speak, Wendell quickly added, “Of course, I’m not saying you’re incapable. We all know your ability. The branch company in Insterimond developed well under your leadership. However, the handover alone will take a few days if we change people to do this acquisition now. And time is important for the acquisition project, so I’ll do it. What do you think?” Ken smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Hunter, you’re so dedicated to the company…” “You’re flattering me. Only if the company is good can we be good!” Wendell thought that he had fooled Ken, so he finally smiled again. However, Ken said again in the next moment. “However, you don’t have to worry about the time. I came early today and have already gone through the entire project. There’s no need to arrange another time for the handover.” Wendell’s face stiffened. “You…” “Why?” Ken’s dark eyes met Wendell’s coldly. “Don’t tell me that you had indeed accepted benefits and are afraid that Taynorma Capital won’t be able to withstand my investigation?” “How… How is this possible?” Wendell denied hurriedly. “That’s good. Since you have no objections, this matter is settled. Ken decided. He picked up the meeting notebook and left not giving Wendell a chance to speak again. Wendell knew that there was nothing he could do. He immediately stood up shakily and walked out dejectedly. The other people in the meeting room couldn’t care less about Wendell. They started whispering and discussing Ken “Do you think there’s a chance that Mr. Ken didn’t cripple Mr. Ulric’s legs?” “But that’s what the rumors say. Moreover, Mr. Ulric is indeed still in a wheelchair… “But I think what Ken said just now… Could there be another reason for Ulric’s matter? Otherwise, according to the chairman’s wife’s personality, how could she let it go and not send Ken to prison?” “Perhaps it’s indeed a rumor… In our circle, what kind of dirty things won’t happen?” “In any case, whether it’s true or not, we shouldn’t provoke him. If it’s true, he’s an outlaw. We cherish our lives and can’t afford to offend him. If it’s not true, he might inherit the Swanson Group. We can’t afford to offend him either. It’s better to avoid him.” “That’s right! Look at Mr. Hunter… Mr. Ken must have gotten something against him. Did you guys notice his expression just now? It was as if the end of the world had arrived.” ||| 3d Chapter 109 “Oh! A new official indeed applies strict measures. Guys, I’ll take my leave first. Take care!” 色
COMMENT Chapter 108 On the phone, David said, “Here is the thing. You asked me to call you if my boss comes back. I just received news that my boss will be back today. You can come to get the medicine later and meet my boss.” “Your boss is back?” Melody was delighted. She had been waiting for the shop owner of Herbathrive for a few days. However, Melody immediately remembered that she did not have much money now. Even if the shop owner returned, she could not afford those rare herbs, If you have no hand, you can’t make a fist. Melody was silent for two seconds before saying. I don’t have enough money now. I’m afraid I can’t afford the herbs I want. How about this? Don’t mention me to your boss first. I’ll come to him when I’ve gathered the money.” “Alright,” David replied, “I’ll help you concoct the herbs properly, I’ll choose the best herbs. There won’t be any mistakes.” “Okay, thank you,” said Melody. “It’s my pleasure, David replied softly. After hanging up the phone, Melody sighed sadly. She lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, thinking about how to get the money. The next moment, she suddenly remembered the shop Wilmot had given her. income i She immediately used her phone to log into the merchant’s backend and realized that the the past two weeks had reached over 400 thousand dollars. She hesitated for a moment before withdrawing all the money. Her account received 100 thousand dollars immediately, but this amount was still a drop in the bucket for buying medicinal herbs. She could not even buy a single medicinal herb with it Helpless, Melody could only turn her gaze to the thank–you gift from the Swanson family. If she sold all of these… it would be enough to buy one medicinal herb. ‘Okay, let’s do it, Melody thought to herself. She closed her eyes and tried to catch up on sleep. When she woke up, she looked at the time. It was past eight in the morning. She wondered if Ken had woken up at this hour. After hesitating for a moment, Melody called Ken. Ken picked up the call very quickly. *I forgot to transfer the money to you last night. I’ll transfer it to you now,” Ken said. “No, no.” Melody quickly said, Tm not urging you to pay my sabiry.” Then what do you want to do?” Ken, who was about to go to the meeting, sounded impatient but didn’t look impatient. Instead, he gestured at his assistant, indicating he would go to the meeting room later. Melody did not know about Ken’s situation. She said, “Do you still have the receipt for the gifts you gave me?” Ken was stunned. He did not expect Melody to call him about this. He could not help but frown. “Is that why you called so early in the morning?” 1/3 “That’s right… I’m a little short of money now and want to return these things because I don’t need many gifts. So, can you help me ask if the receipt is still there?” said Melody. Ken’s expression was especially dark. He replied unhappily, “No, I don’t have it!” “Alright, thank… Before Melody could say the word “you“, the call ended. “What’s going on…” Melody was confused. He had already given me those gifts. I only want a receipt. Why was he so angry? So, Melody had no choice but to search for second–hand luxury goods stores on her phone. Although she did not even unpack these gifts, the price would not be high once she sold them to a second–hand shop. However, she was too short of money now. So, she could only do this. At the headquarters of the Swanson Group, Ken hung up the phone with a dark expression. I had personally chosen those gifts. I can’t believe Melody asked me for a receipt to sell these gifts! Good for her! She is so tacky! I must have been blind to feel that she was not annoying Ken thought angrily. Coincidentally, James returned from the countryside. He knocked on the office door and reported, “Mr. Ken. I’m back from Miss Fox’s place in the countryside. She… “I don’t want to know anything about her now. Go busy yourself with Pearly Antiques. Keep an eye on Pearly Antiques and figure out who has been managing its operations now,” said Ken. James went to the countryside to investigate Melody almost night and day. It was not easy for him to find Melody did not live in the farmhouse arranged by the Fox family. However, before he could tell Ken, Ken said he did not want to hear anything about Melody. James could not help but feel surprised, but Ken seemed in a bad mood. He did not dare to say anything and could only leave Coincidentally, the assistant entered and urged, “Mr. Swanson, the directors are all here. They’re waiting for you in the conference room. This assistant used to work for Ramon. She had heard that Ken had crippled his brother’s legs, so she didn’t have a good impression of Ken. However, Ken’s aura was too strong, so she had to hide her dissatisfaction with him. However, she could not understand why the chairman would let such a ruthless person manage their headquarters for the time being. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 108” »
Chapter 107 When the stall owner heard Melody’s words, he could not help but be stunned for a few seconds. However, he immediately. smiled and waved his hand. “That’s impossible. Kid, you might have seen it wrongly. I’m usually careful. When I take poisonous herbs, I always wear gloves.” Melody shrugged. “Tim the professor’s proudest student, so I usually won’t make a mistake. How about this? If you feel your condition has worsened in three days, look for me at Forest Cafe in the city center. I won’t charge you for treatment for the sake of the medicinal herbs you sold me.” The stall owner still did not believe Melody’s words. He casually said, “Got it.” Melody smiled secretly and left after putting “Draba” away. The hook was already in place, waiting for the fish to take the bait. “What nonsense? How could I be poisoned? This student was talking big!” the stall owner muttered as he stared at Melody’s back. However, he did not know if it was a psychological effect, but he suddenly felt a little tired and could not muster his energy “Forget it! I’ve earned enough today. I should pack up and go back to sleep, the stall owner muttered to himself as he began to close the stall. However, the stall owner didn’t know Melody had tampered with the check and added some “condiments When Melody y came out of the black market, she e received a call from Hattie “Miss Melody, I’ve bought the incense,” said Hattie. Melody replied. “Okay. Where are you? I’ll take a cab and come to you. We’ll go back together.” Tm at Hattie gave Melody an address, and Melody took a taxi to meet Hattie. Then, they returned to the Fox villa together. The two of them carried the incense into the house. Coincidentally, Yolanda had already picked Mabel up and was encouraging Mabel. “In short, you must overcome the weakness of dancing, understand?” “I know Before Mabel could finish speaking, she raised her head and saw Melody, who had returned with Hattie. Her expression instantly turned extremely dark. She thought Ulric had bought that pile of gifts for her, but she did not expect it to be a thank–you gift from the Swanson family for Melody There are so many luxury goods. How can Melody be worthy? Mabel thought unwillingly. However, Maria had personally instructed that no one could touch these things except Melody. Therefore, Mabel could only hold her anger back and vent all of it by practicing dancing Fortunately, her efforts were not in vain. The dance teacher praised her for improving a little more than yesterday. However, this was not enough. Mabel had to work hard to decrease her shortcomings and win this year’s top socialite again. She had to successfully marry into the Swanson family and let Melody be inferior to her! As soon as Melorly entered, she felt Mabel’s murderous gaze. She turned a blind eye to walked into the backyard with Hattie. in and did not even look away. She 13 Chapter 107 When Mabel saw this, she iromediately felt dissatisfied and said, “Hey! You don’t even say hello to Mommy when you return from outside? Is this how you treat the elders in the family? Don’t you even know such basic etiquette?” Melody pretended not to hear her and strode to the backyard, “You…” Mabel was about to chase after her when Hattie stopped her. Hattie smiled and said. “Miss Mabel, Miss Melody is in a hurry to send incense to Mrs. Maria. You also know Mrs. Maria’s health is too poor, so we must prioritize her anytime. Therefore, Miss Melody didn’t have time to greet Mrs. Fox. I’m here to apologize to Mrs. Fox on her behalf.” When Mabel saw Hattie speaking up for Melody, she was instantly furious. “Who do you think you are? How dare you stop Yolanda was shocked. She quickly went forward and pulled Mabel over. She said, Tm sorry, Hattie. Mabel is a child with filial piety and a straight temper. Please don’t take her words to heart: Hattie chuckled and said, Tm just a maid. It’s only right for Miss Mabel to speak to me in such a tone. It’s just that it’s best not to let Mrs. Maria hear this. Otherwise, she’ll be unhappy” With that, Hattie walked past Mabel and left. Mabel was even angrier. Now, even a maid dares to ignore me? she… She wanted to complain. “Mom, sh Shut up!” Yolanda’s expression darkened. “Did you forget everything I told you just now? These things are not something you need to worry about at all. It’s fine if Melody doesn’t greet me. Don’t tell me you expect her to call me Mom respectfully,” Mabel felt a little aggrieved. “It’s fine if Melody did that, but even Hattie dares to speak to me like this… What she said is a threat!” “I think you’ve lost your mind from dancing.

Chapter 106 Melody’s eyesight was good. She recognized at a glance that what was in the bag was the herbs soaked in mercury sulfide. from Maria’s medicine. Yolanda took the herbs and was about to leave, but at that moment, the stall owner called out to Yolanda again. “Madam…” After all, Yolanda was doing something illegal. After buying the herbs, she could not help but feel a little guilty when she heard the stall owner call her again. Not only did Yolanda not stop, but she also quickened her pace to leave the black market. The stall owner hurriedly chased after her. “Hey! Madam, don’t run!” The stall owner called out to Yolanda for another reason. In a moment of desperation, he grabbed Yolanda’s sleeve. “What are you doing?” Yolanda panicked and reached out with her other hand to break free from the stall owner’s hand However, under this drag. Yolanda’s mask accidentally fell. “No!” Yolanda cried out in surprise and quickly squatted down to pick up the mask. The process lasted less than five seconds, but the stall owner saw Yolanda’s face. It was a beautiful face that had been well–maintained. Coupled with her graceful body, she was simply a charming young Woman. Yolanda, who could make Russell cheat on the number one beauty, Wilona, was naturally far more beautiful than ordinary people. However, compared to Wilona, Yolanda was still a bit inferior. However, in the eyes of a person like the stall owner, Yolanda was already like a fairy. The stall owner was stunned for a moment and almost drooled. Of course, Yolanda also noticed the stall owner’s gaze. She immediately frowned in disgust. Then, she said, “What are you? trying to do? Don’t forget that although this is a black market, people working for the boss of this black market are everywhere. We all paid the protection fee to get the pass. I’ll report you if you dare to be rude to me!” At the mention of the boss of the black market, the stall owner finally recovered from his amazement. He smiled wretchedly and said, “Madam, you’ve misunderstood me. I stopped you because I wanted to make another deal with you.” Yolanda coldly refused, “There’s no need. Our deal is over! After buying this medicine, I won’t come again.” She had bought a lot of the medicine this time. It was enough to poison Maria to death. Naturally, she wouldn’t come to this dangerous and dirty black market anymore.” The stall owner shrugged. “Madam, I know best what you want to do with this medicine. However, I have a better medicine here that can kill people in three days. Moreover, this medicine is colorless and tasteless. It can be used with water. After an hour, the poison will dissipate, and no one will discover it. However, this price is much higher than the medicine you’re buying now. I wonder if you need it” When Yolanda heard this, she knew the stall owner had stopped her because he wanted to promote another poison. She heaved a sigh of relief. 1/3 ။ She shook her head. I don’t need it for now. I’ll come to you if I need it.” Yolanda did not completely refuse because she felt that this medicine did not need to be used on Maria but it could be used on Melody. However, the most important thing now was to get rid of Maria, Melody’s backer. As for how Melody would die, she had not thought about it yet. The stall owner also sensed Yolanda’s hesitation and smiled. “Alright, it’s a deal. I’ll wait for you. Madam.” As the stall owner spoke, his gaze swept across Yolanda’s body, as if taking another look would make him feel high. Yolanda felt a sense of physical disgust and ignored the stall owner. She hurriedly left with the medicine diluted in mercury sulfide. After confirming Yolanda would not turn back, Melody walked to the stall owner’s stall “Miss, what do you need? I have all kinds of herbs here.” The stall owner put on a standard bootlicking smile. Those who could enter this place were all people of status or wealth. Although the girl in front of him looked very young, and the upper half of her face, which the mask’didn’t cover, looked especially ugly, he was still enthusiastic However, he could not hide the trace of disgust in his eyes. He was a person who loved beautiful ladies. His attitude toward beauties and ugly women was clear. Although Melody saw the stall owner’s disgust, she did not care. She lied through her teeth, “Hello. Im a student studying medicine. I’m here to buy some medicinal herbs for my professor for research.” When the stall owner heard this, he immediately became even more enthusiastic, thinking, “A professor doing research… These professors are the richest because they spend public money and spend it without batting an eye. “Oh, hi! So you’re here to help your professor buy medicine. See what you need, and I’ll introduce it to you. Not to mention anything else, the goods I have here are the most complete in the entire black market. Even if I have no ready–made goods, I can immediately transfer them to you,” the stall owner said confidently. Melody nodded and scanned the stall attentively. Originally, she was only putting on an act, but after a glance, she realized there was a rare medicinal herb that could cure her appearance in the stall. It required many medicines to cure her face, and this medicinal herb was one of them. It was also the one she planned to buy when the boss of Herbathrive returned. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 106” »
Chapter 105 Hattie’s eyes were filled with sincerity. The eyes of someone like her couldn’t be deceiving, so Melody was relieved. Before this, she was hesitating whether she should reveal this to Hattie. She was worried Hattie was also working for Yolanda.. However, from Hattie’s attitude now, Melody could tell Hattie was sincerely kind to her grandmother. Therefore, she was relieved to leave this job to Hattie. “It’s just that…” Melody said. “There’s suddenly one person missing at home. How are we going to explain this to Grandma?” “Don’t worry about that. Mrs. Maria always felt that this maid was lazy and didn’t like her very much. I’ll tell Mrs. Maria that Ive fired that maid. As for Mrs. Fox… Hattie looked troubled. Melody chuckled and said, “You don’t have to worry about Yolanda the most. She’s afraid of being discovered, to begin with, so she usually doesn’t meet this maid. Didn’t you realize that their communication is all on the phone? If I take over this phone, she won’t notice even if this person disappears for a year! “Good. So where are we going now?” Hattie asked. “Of course, we’re going to buy incense! Aren’t we here to buy incense? Melody blinked slyly. She had to put on a full show. Since she said she would buy incense, she would buy it for real. However, Hattie went to buy the incense herself, while Melody followed the information on the maid’s phone and found. where Yolanda bought the mercury sulfide. When she arrived at the destination, Melody realized it was a market in the suburbs. Melody walked around the market several times before finally finding a hidden passageway connected to a black market. However, not everyone could enter this black market. Melody was about to enter when the guard stopped her. “Do you have a pass?” “A pass. Melody hesitated before saying, “I’m sorry, a friend recommended me. This is my first time here, so I don’t know what pass it is. May I know how to get a pass?” When he heard that Melody did not have a pass, the guard immediately said with a dark expression, “Go, go, go! What are you doing here, kid? This is not a place you can enter. Hurry up and leave!” Melody staggered and almost fell on her face when the guard pushed her. At this moment, an old man and a young man walked out. The young man said proudly, “We’re so lucky today! I can’t believe we used 100 dollars to buy this priceless ancient coin! Grandpa, do you think we’re lucky today?” “Yeah, not bad…“. The old man looked at the ancient coin and put it into his pocket like a treasure. Melody quickly glanced around and followed the two of them. She called out politely, “Gentlemen… Hearing Melody’s voice, the two of them turned around warily. The young man asked with an unfriendly expression, “Who are you? What do you want?” ווו Melody did not beat around, the bush and said, “Coincidentally, saw the ancient coin you got just now. I happen to have done some research on antiques. This ancient coin of yours is take Their expressions instantly darkened. The young man directly scolded, “What do you know! My grandfather used to be an employee of Pearly Antiques. Even if I were wrong, he wouldn’t be wrong?” Pearly Antiques? Isn’t it the antique shop Ken wanted but ended up in Ullric’s hands in my previous life? Melody quickly came back to her senses. She shrugged and said provocatively, “Since you don’t believe me and insist on being scammed. I have no choice… I’m leaving If I had known you would scrild me, I wouldn’t have wasted time reminding you” As soon as Melody said this, the two of them immediately wavered. The old man took out his presbyopia glasses and examined the coin. He looked at it and found traces of it being made old. “It’s fake” the old man said. “What Grandpa, are you sure?” The two of them chattered for a while and finally confirmed that they had been deceiveil “Ridiculous! How dare they lie to us? I’m going to settle the scont with them? With that, the young man was about to walk in. “Wait. Melody stopped him and said. “I helped you, but you don’t even thank me?” The young man stopped and looked at the old man, who remained silent for two seconds before saying slowly. “Young lady, you want to enter but have no pass, right?” Melody nodded and said half–truthfully, “I know a little about aniques and have some spare money on me. I want to go in and try my luck to earn some pocket money. I wonder if you can lend me your pas “Sure.” The old man was not stingy. He only said, “But you have to return it to me. It’s not easy to buy this pass even if you have money. We spent a lot of effort to get two.” “No problem” Melody agreed and entered the black market with the young man. Before this, the young man had even given her a mask. He said. “Those inside won’t show their true faces. You’d better do the same Melody did not know the rules at all. She hurriedly nodded and hanked him. Thank you “You’re … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 105” »
Chapter 104 Hattie was also shocked when she saw this. She quickly went forward and tried to stop Melody, “Miss Melody, what’s wrong? Let go of her quickly.” Melody pretended not to hear Hattie’s words and only stared coldly at the maid with a sharp gaze. “Pain! You can feel pain too? When you drugged my grandma, why didn’t you know that my grandma would feel pain and discomfort!” Melody asked. The maid’s heart skipped a beat, and she fell silent. It was as if she was suffocating. “Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you surprised that I suddenly exposed you? Huh?” Melody continued. “I, I… I didn’t!” The maid finally came back to her senses and subconsciously denied it. Hattie, who was beside her, was stunned. “Wait… What drug? Melody, what are you talking about?” Hattie was so shocked that she even forgot to address Melody respectfully. As Melody controlled the maid, she stuffed a bag of paper into the maid’s mouth to prevent her from shouting and attracting people over. Melody explained, “Hattie, I won’t hide it from you. When I first checked Grandma’s pulse, I noticed that someone had poisoned Grandma’s medicine. This poison is called mercury sulfide. You must have heard of it. Taking it for a long time will cause death.” Hattie’s eyes instantly widened as she looked at the maid on the ground unbelievably. “You dared to drug Mrs. Maria? Mrs. Maria treats you so well, so why did you bite the hand that feeds your The maid had a piece of paper in her mouth and couldn’t speak at all. She could only shake her head vigorously to indicate that she didn’t do it. Melody sneered and answered on behalf of the maid, “She does bite the hand that feeds her, but the reason… is just ‘money? Hattie’s brain was already running out. She did not want to think for herself. So, she asked directly. “Are you saying that someone instructed her to do this?” “Yeah.” Melody nodded. “Who’s the vicious person? Mrs. Maria is usually very good to everyone and cares for the maids. And she has no enemies. Who instructed her?” Hattie asked. “What do you think?” This time, Melody did not answer directly. Instead, she looked at Hattie calmly. Hattie could not help but start to think. Besides her, there was also a young maid taking care of Maria. She was the one who had introduced the maid to Maria. That maid was reliable and capable. The two of them were more than enough to take care of Maria. But Yolanda suddenly found a maid to help later. After that, Maria’s health seemed to be deteriorating day by day. At that time, she had never thought Maria’s health problem would have something to do with this maid. “Could it be… Hattie’s face was a liule pale. She said with difficulty, “Mrs. Fox…” Melody did not keep her in suspense anymore. Instead, she nodded slowly. “Yolanda has always wanted to be the only hostess of the Fox family, but as long as Grandma is alive, she has to listen to Grandma. This is her motive. It’s simple and 1/3 “Mrs. Fox, she…” Hattie gritted her teeth in anger. Tm going to tell Mrs. Maria immediately!” “Don’t!” Melody quickly stopped her. “My grandma’s diarrhea was caused by a huge shock these past two days. If you tell her now, her condition will only worsen. Rather than that, why don’t we secretly obtain enough evidence before finding a suitable opportunity to expose Yolanda?* Hattie was silent for a while before agreeing with Melody. However, she was still very shocked. She couldn’t believe Yolanda, who looked filial and so concerned about Maria, was so vicious! However, she already knew Melody very well. She knew Melody wouldn’t lie to her, and there was no need for Melody to lie to her. Moreover, she could tell that Melody was sincere to Maria. She knew Melody wouldn’t use Maria to deal with Yolanda. “But… is Mrs. Fox that vicious? Hattie still doubted it. Seeing that Hattie did not completely trust her, Melody took the phone from the maid and said, “In order not to be discovered, she must have contacted Yolanda with her phone. You can check her phone If you still don’t believe me.” When the maid heard this, she calmed down. Her phone had a password. Melody couldn’t know her password. She believed Melody couldn’t find evidence as long as she said nothing! However, from the corner of her eye, she saw Melody quickly click on her phone a few times. Then, her phone unlocked automatically! Well.. How is this possible? The maid’s face turned pale. Melody seemed to have guessed what the maid was thinking. The corners of her lips curled up as she said, “I’m sorry. Coincidentally. I’ve learned hacking skills. It’s not a big deal to crack the password on your phone.” “Hmm….. The maid shook her head desperately and wanted to speak, but she could only make low sounds. The phone was unlocked, and all the maid’s secrets were completely exposed. She didn’t have the habit of deleting text messages because she was confident that Maria and Hattie wouldn’t suspect her. Hence, Melody and Hattie saw all the contents of the messages. For example, Yolanda asked her to get the poison, and she told Yolanda that she had used up all the medicine. She also told Yolanda about Maria’s health and what had happened.. Seeing this, Hattie finally believed Melody’s words. She was so angry that she kicked the maid hard to vent her anger “So what should we do now?” Hattie had no experience in scheming, so she could only ask Melody for advice. It’s easy. She and this phone are one of the pieces of evidence. However, this woman is very stubborn and won’t admit it casually, so I need you to help me find a place to lock her up first so that Yolanda won’t know the news. In addition, we need to find the place where Yolanda … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 104” »
Chapter 103 As soon as Melody said this, the smile on Maria’s face faded a little. Maria sighed. “My illness is different from Margaret’s. She’s sick, but I’m… old.” Maria had accepted her fate. She was considered to be a macrobian to have lived to this age. If she passed away just like that, other than worrying … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 103” »
hapter 102 Although the top socialite competition was only in Silverlake, once Mabel became the top socialite, it would add more glory to her. Although Mabel had become the top socialite last year, if she wanted to marry into the Swanson family now, she needed to be the top socialite this year, which was more important than last year. Once his daughter could marry into the Swanson family, Russell wouldn’t have to worry about the Justalion Group continuing to decline. As for Melody, it did not matter who she learned her medical skills from or how she learned them. It was fine as long as the results were good. It was just like he did not care about Melody’s feelings. He only needed to know that Melody could bring him benefits. When Yolanda heard Russell’s words, she understood in her heart that Russell was a person who prioritized benefits. As long as Melody could benefit him, he did not care about anything else. However, even if Russell did not care, she did. She felt that Melody’s ability might not be limited to medical skills. They said that one who knew his strength and that of the enemy was invincible in battle. Yolanda knew nothing about Melody, and she could not chase Melody away for the time being. It was very disadvantageous to her! However, Russell was right about one thing. The most important thing now was still Mabel. As long as Mabel could become the top socialite this year, the possibility of her marrying into the Swanson family would be even higher. Yolanda smiled perfunctorily, indicating that she would pick Mabel up from school. She stopped serving and currying favor with Russell and found an excuse to leave. The Fox family used to appear warm and comfortable to her. After Melody returned, she felt suffocated whenever she was at home. She might as well go out for some fresh air and find the underground market she often went to buy some ‘medicine” for Maria. Maria was Melody’s most stable backer in the Fox family. Yolanda had to let this backer collapse as soon as possible before she could find an opportunity to chase Melody out of the house. ‘However, it’s a pity that Margaret wasn’t dead from Melody’s treatment. Otherwise, I won’t have to spend so much effort, Yolanda thought hatefully. At the same time, in the backyard. Melody did not return to her room, Instead, she walked straight to Maria’s room. Coincidentally, she saw Hattie walking out with a tray of water. She hurriedly went forward to greet her, “Hattie!” Hattie had just been immersed in the sadness of Maria’s worsening illness. Only when she heard the sound did Hattie notice that Melody had returned from the hospital. Looking at Melody again, Hattie felt even more guilty. Her eyes could not help but turn red as she said, “Miss Melody, I…” Hattie choked on her words for a long time. It was not because she felt awkward, nor was it because she was afraid that Melody would blame her, but because she felt too .guilty. 11 31 Mon, Jul 8 Gu. Chapter 102 When Melody saw this she thought Maria was extremely ill and hurriedly asked, “Hattie, is Grandma’s health worse again? At the mention of Maria, Hattie couldn’t care less about her matters. With reddened eyes, she said, “That’s right…. Mrs. Maria’s healili had improved a few days ago. She even had the strength to attend the Swanson family’s birthday party. But ever since she came back from the birthday party, her health has been deteriorating day by day. She can’t even take care of herself now.” Melody looked down and saw what was in the water. There were a few towels inside, covered in the filth of excretion. Hatte noticed Melody’s gaze and subconsciously hid the basins behind her. She said apologetically. “Tm sorry, Miss Melody I didn’t notice… I shouldn’t have shown you such a dirty thing.” However, Melody reached out and took the basin into her hand the next moment. Without frowning, she took out a dirty towel and examined it. Hattie felt that this thing was dirty, but not only did Melody not mind, she even studied it carefully She asked in shock, “Miss Melody, what are you doing?” Melody did not answer and only focused on checking. As a doctor, she could not be afraid of dirty things. Sometimes, the things that patients discharged were the answer to what was wrong with their bodies. This was also why sometimes the doctor had to check the patients‘ urine and feces when they went to the hospital for a checkup. After examining it, Melody leaned closer and sniffed it.. This action made Hattie’s eyes widen. Has Miss Melody lost her mind from the fever? I can’t believe she sniffed it…. Just as Hattie could not stand it anymore and wanted to stop her she saw Melody put the towel back in the basin and say. “Grandma’s condition has become serious. Is she awake now? Il check her pulse.” Only then did Hattie realize that Melody was helping Maria diagnose her illness. Even Russell, who claimed to be a filial son, could rior do such a thing. It could be seen how much Melody cared about Maria “Maria can be saved! Hattie thought happily. If it were in the past, Hartie would not believe Melody could see anything from the excrement. But now, Hattie looked at Melody as if she had seen her savior and hurriedly replied, “Mrs. Maria is awake now. Her clothes got dirty just now, and I have just changed her clothes. Please go and take a look. Please.. “Don’t worry. I’ll cure Grandma,” said Melody. Her grandmother was the only person she cared about in the Fox family. She would never watch Maria die helplessly like in her previous life. Since she had the chance to live again, she wanted to change the lives of everyone she cared about. Melody did not hesitate and walked in. As soon as she entered, the smelled a foul stench. A maid opened the window to ventilate, while another lit incense to make the smell disappear. Meanwhile, Maria was leaning against the head of the bed with adull expression. She had lost the vitality she had a few days ago, looking listless and haggard. It was as if she had lost all hope of survival. Sickness not only took away her health but also her dignity. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 102” »
Chapter 101 Hearing Melody’s words, Russell was satisfied and his heart was completely at ease. He said. “I knew it. You’re my daughter. Why would you blame me? However, I was indeed wrong in this matter. Let’s not mention it again in the future and pretend that nothing happened!” Melody sneered in her heart, but she smiled and nodded. The father and daughter looked intimate and happy. When Yolanda heard Melody’s words, she gritted her teeth in hatred. thinking. Why did this little bitch mention that dead person out of the blue? Wasn’t she deliberately trying to annoy me? Wasn’t she telling me that everything in this family was built by Wilona and had nothing to do with me? But I’m the current hostess of this family!” However, Russell’s heart was now biased toward Melody, who saved Margaret’s life. If Yolanda went against Melody now, it would be going against Russell. Yolanda was not stupid. She did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, she walked forward with a guilty expression and bowed to Melody before saying. “Melody! I’m sorry! At first, I thought that you didn’t know medicine and that your father had worked hard to earn everything the Fox family had, so I was anxious and thought you would destroy the Fox family. It’s right that you don’t blame your father. Just blame me for everything. I’m willing to atone for my sins. I’m okay with it even if you hit or scold me.” As Yolanda spoke, two drops of tears fell at the right time. When Russell heard Yolanda had treated Melody in such a humble way, he was immediately dissatisfied. In his heart, being respectful to the elders was important. Even if Yolanda did something wrong, Melody could not hit or scold her. He instantly stopped blaming Yolanda because of her words. Instead, he frowned and instructed Melody, “Yolanda already knows her mistake. This matter is over. We’re still family in the future. You can’t blame her, understand?” Melody was furious as she thought, ‘Good for you, Yolanda! You made Dad completely forget what you had done wrong with your glib tongue. Impressive, truly impressive!” However, Melody wondered if Russell would forgive Yolanda just because of a few words of Yolanda’s if he knew that Yolanda had been drugging Maria. It seemed that she could not expose Yolanda’s evil deeds now. She needed to make Russell hate Yolanda bit by bit. Then, she would give him this blow to make him give up on Yolanda completely. Melody calculated in her heart, but her mouth did not stay idle. She said gently. “Dad, I don’t need you to tell me this. Yolanda is my stepmother now and was my mother’s best friend when she was alive. No matter what she did to me, I won’t blame her. Russell’s expression turned a little awkward when he heard that That was true. Yolanda was not Melody’s biological mother, but he had asked Melody to treat Yolanda with tolerance like Yolanda was her biological mother. This is indeed a little too much. It’s better to take it slow. After all, Melody is still young and has not grown up by Yolanda’s side. It’s normal for the two of them to be very distant. With that thought in mind, Russell coughed dryly. He was too embarrassed to mention asking Melody to forgive Yolanda. He said, “You’ve just been discharged from the hospital and are in poor health. Go back to your room and rest well first. I’ll help you build an account. In the future, you’ll have the right to distribute your allowance.” Mon, Jul 8 Chapter 101 Melody nodded sensibly. She thought of Zack and said, “Dad, I don’t want to spend the family’s money for nothing. I also want to do something for the family Yolanda’s eyes instantly narrowed. ‘Is she trying to enter the Justalion Group? She would never allow it! Seeing Russell was about to say something. Yolanda quickly said, “Melody, your father and I are happy to know you have this intention. However, you’re new here. You’re not familiar with Silverlake, let alone suddenly going to work. However, why don’t you go to your father’s headhunting company first if you want to work? This company has a bright future and pays you according to your work. If you can poach someone, you’ll get a huge commission. my Melody sneered in her heart. “Yolanda said this because she was worried I would snatch back the Justalion Group that mother had founded. I didn’t get the Justalion Group back in my previous life. It was because I only focused on Ulric. However, I will get it back in this life. But not now, I have a lot of things to do now. I’m not in a hurry to get the Justalion Group back. However, the Justalion Group must be mine. Even if Yolanda wants to stop me, she can’t. After Yolanda finished speaking, Russell, who had originally plarmed to let Melody work at the Justalion Group, hesitated. The Justalion Group made high–end clothing customizations. Russell was worried Melody’s face would affect the Justalion Group’s brand image. At the thought of this, Russell followed Yolanda’s words and said “Yolanda is right. My headhunting company is a good place to train people. After you learn all kinds of rules, I will arrange for you to join the Justalion Group. How about that? Melody pretended to be ignorant and nodded. “Alright, as long as it’s Dad’s arrangement, it must be for my good. I’ll go to the headhunting company to train myself.” When Russell heard this, he was instantly satisfied. He also felt Melody was easy to manipulate, so he immediately called the headhunting company. After the call, he smiled and said to Melody, I’ve already informed them. If you go over there, you can directly enter the upper echelons. It won’t lire you out. At the same time, it can train you “Thank you, Dad, Melody said. She pretended to have a headache and pressed her temples. “Dad, I feel a little dizzy. I’ll go, back and rest first. “Alright, alright. Go quickly. Get well before you go to work,” said Russell. “Okay, Dad, Melody nodded slightly and made her way precariously to the backyard shed. Now that the matter was settled, she had to go and see her grandmother quickly. After Melody left, Russell relaxed a lot. Just as he was about to continue eating fruits, he heard Yolanda say in a low voice, “Russell, there’s something I don’t know if I should say…” Russell was in a good mood because he felt Melody was easy to manipulate. He said, “We’re husband and wife. You can say anything you want. Just say it.” Yolanda said, “Melody had lived in the farming family we arranged for her since she was young. I know that family. They’re all farmers and don’t know any medical skills. Where do you think she learned her medical skills? I keep feeling that this matter is a little strange. Why don’t… you ask her?” The people Yolanda sent to the countryside to investigate could not find anything. If she went to ask Melody, she would not get an answer. She might as well let Russell go. She guessed that Melody would not hide it from her biological father. 2/3 … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 101” »
