Chapter 100 For Ulnic. Melody learned almost everything about Zack in her previous life. She knew far more than what was on his resume. So, of course, she did not need Zack’s resume.. Π ¡Mi he In her previous life. Zack became Ulric’s man because of her. Wahout her, Ken would not be able to rope Zack in. Of course, when Janet heard these words, it sounded like Melody was arrogant and conceited. Ch. She doesn’t even need a resume to poach him? I’ll be strange if she can succeed! Janet thought. Ch. Ch. However, in any case, the chances of them being able to poach Zack were very low. Instead of stopping Melody and doing this herself, making Ken feel she could not do everything with her ability, she might as well let Melody be this incompetent person Janet thought it was good that Melody wanted to stand out and was willing to dig a hole for herself. Janet hid the joy in her eyes and said lightly. “Since you don’t need it, forget it. You can come to me whenever you need it.” The Even if Melody came to her, Janet would not tell her all the information she knew about Zack anyway. CH Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the Fox family’s neighborhood. CI “Thank you for giving me a ride. I’m leaving.” Melody nodded slightly, opened the car door, and got out C WI During this time. Ken did not say a word. He did not even look at her. However, Melody did not care and was not in a hurry. Sooner or later, Ken would know about her ability and value and take the initiative to ally with her. This matter had progressed to a certain extent. Otherwise, if Ken hated her, he would not have registered his marriage with her only to make Margaret happy However, there were too many things Melody had to do next. She had to restore her appearance, treat her grandmother’s illness, snatch back the Justalion Group founded by her mother poach Zack, and take revenge. She would be very busy with these matters. She could not waste any more time. Melody could not help but quicken her pace. However, when she reached the entrance of the Fox family’s villa, she deliberately slowed down. She frowned slightly and looked exhausted, looking extremely weak. The maid cleaning outside quickly noticed her. She said in surprise, “Miss Melody, you’re back!” Ever since the maids learned that Melody had cured Margaret’s illness, they had wondered if they should curry favor with Melody. After all, the Swanson family would treat Melody very well in the future. Melody’s status in the Fox family would rise, and it would be easier for them to work in the Fox family if they curried favor with her. Therefore, when the maid saw Melody now, it was as if she had seen a treasure. Her eyes lit up. Melody had never received such treatment before. Melody sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she nodded softly, 13 Chapter 100 Seeing this, the maid quickly went forward and carefully supported her. “Miss Melody, be careful of the steps.” “Thank you.” Melody thanked her “pretentiously. This made the maid not only want to curry favor with Melody but also feel some heartache. If it were an ordinary family, even if their daughter was ugly, they would still treat her like a treasure. Therefore, being born into a wealthy family was not necessarily good. Melody was discharged in the afternoon. Coincidentally, Russell had also returned from the company and was waiting for dinner in the living room. At a glance, Melody saw Yolanda serving Russell water beside him. She looked so gentle. She had heard from Margaret’s private maid that Russell had slapped Yolanda that day. She thought that Yolanda and Russell’s relationship would become more distant because of that incident, but she did not expect them to become reconciled so quickly. It was obvious that Yolanda was indeed good at coaxing men. At least, she was much better than the current Mabel. No wonder Russell quickly married Yolanda not long after Melody’s biological mother passed away. However, Melody did not see Mabel and her grandmother. From the time she was locked up until she was discharged from the hospital, she had not been able to see her grandmother. She did not know how her grandmother was doing. When Melody was not around, she knew Yolanda must have continued to poison her grandmother. Melody was afraid that the situation was not good. Russell was eating the cherries that Yolanda had … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 100” »

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 99 Ken only revealed his side profile, but Melody quickly recognized him. That noble and indifferent aura was not something ordinary people could have However, is he here to pick me up Melody wondered The next second, Ken turned to look at her. Perhaps because she was facing the sun, the light made him narrow his black eyes slightly. Just one look was enough to bewitch all living beings. In her previous life, she only saw Ulric and had never paid attention to anyone else. She had never thought that anyone could compare to Ulric. She thought Ulric was the most perfect man in the world. However, now that she had walked out of the fog of love, she realized that Ken could suppress Ulric in terms of looks alone. As Melody was lost in thought, she saw Ken frown impatiently and open his lips slightly. She couldn’t hear what Ken said clearly because of the distance, but she could tell from his mouth that he was saying, “Aren’t you getting into the car?” He was indeed here to pick her up! Melody hesitated and looked at the people lining up and waiting for a taxi at the hospital’s entrance. Then, she decisively chose Ken After all, it would be a waste not to take a free ride. After all, she was poor now and only earned one thousand dollars a day and a 2–million–dollar check from Ken Recovering her appearance required a lot of expensive medicinal herbs. This bit of money was completely insufficient. She would save as much as she could. At the thought, Melody sped up and went to the backseat to open the door. Then, when she opened the car door, Melody realized that Ken was not the only one in the backseat. There was also Janet. Janet looked at her indifferently with her cold eyes, which were filled with disgust. “You can sit in front,” Ken said lightly. “Okay…” Melody did not say anything else. She closed the car door and sat in the front passenger seat. The car quickly drove away from the hospital. On the way, Ken did not speak to her again. Instead, he talked about business with Janet. He said, “The acquisition over there is about to enter the most important stage. This acquisition is important to us. If you have time, help me monitor the progress.” Melody pricked up her ears. ‘Acquisition Acquisition of what? In her previous life, she did not know much about Ken. Most of Ken’s information was revealed to her by Ulric. Of course, the news was mostly negative words like slander. She could not brain more information. However, she vaguely remembered that Ken seemed to have a company that made technological products. Chapter 99 It turned out that Ken had been planning his career from now on Melody immediately pricked up her ears. After all, he was her ally in taking revenge on Ulric. She needed to know him better. Janet nodded and said, “Coincidentally, I read some law books when I was free overseas. It should be useful. However, our offer is so low. Will the other party agree?” “Don’t worry, he’ll agree Ken’s voice was low and hoarse, and he sounded calm as if victory was in his grasp. Melody raised her eyebrows slightly. Ken is something! He is so confident! The car was silent for two seconds before Janet said again, “By the way, someone needs to be in the acquisition. You and I can’t leave here. Have you thought of a candidate?” n charge of that company after “Zack Nelson,” said Ken. “Him? But, as far as I know, Zack is the CEO of the rival company. Is he willing to come over?” Janet looked surprised. “Let’s give it a try first. Find a headhunting company and let him name whatever conditions he wants,” said Ken. “Alright, got it. Melody nodded. The conversation ended here. Melody lowered her ears and began to recall Zack in her mind. Coincidentally, Zack was one of the people she had roped in for Ulric in her previous life. Zack had a strange personality. She had spent a lot of effort to rope him in in her previous life. If she roped him in again it would be easier than last time. пон At the thought, Melody could not help but say, “Well…” As soon as she spoke, the two people in the backseat looked at her. Melody went straight to the point. “If you want to make Zack work for you, I might be able to help” “You?” Janet chuckled and said. “Miss Fox, I’m afraid you don’t know what kind of person Zack is. He graduated from a top international university and studied management. The company Zack worked for was a role model in the industry. However, he has a solitary personality. He even rejected Ken’s invitation to have a meal together. Don’t you think it’s too early to say you can help?” Melody did not answer Janet. Instead, she turned to look at Ken. Ken also looked at her. When their eyes met, Ken finally said, “What do you have in mind?” Melody rolled her eyes … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 99” »
Chapter 98 Fairlee frowned and walked forward with an unhappy expression. She sized up Barclay, covered in plaster, and her heart ached “Don’t worry.” She gently patted Barclay’s hand and said, “I will avenge you Barclay wasn’t the only one who embarrassed himself that day. Even if she didn’t want to avenge Barclay, Fairlee had to save herself some dignity. When Barclay heard Fairlee’s reply, his eyes instantly lit up. “Fairlee, are you willing to avenge me?” “Of course! The Lawrence family has no reason to swallow our anger and do nothing Fairlee was infuriated at the thought that not only did nothing happen to Melody that day, but she also made Barclay carry a bad reputation “But Barclay hesitated and said, “I heard from my mother that the ugly freak cured Margaret’s illness. If we take revenge will the Swanson family people be unhappy? Also, if she’s a miracle–working doctor… Then your illness… Can דם her now. she treat it too?” Everyone thought that Fairlee hadn’t gotten married at her age because she was a celibate. However, only the Lawrence family people knew Fairlee was not married because she could not have children. About 20 years ago. Fairlee had a hooligan boyfriend. Later on, when Fairlee got pregnant, her boyfriend forcefully brought her to a shady clinic for an abortion. Ever since then, Fairlee lost her ability to reproduce. Because of this, she decided not to get married and remain single. If Melody could cure Fairlee’s illness, he could reluctantly forgive that country girl for offending him. “A miracle–working doctor? Fairlee snorted coldly and said. That’s impossible! In my opinion, she either cured Margaret by accident, or Margaret probably isn’t seriously ill at all. As for whether the Swanson family will settle scores with us, that’s not something you have to worry about. I naturally have my own methods. What you have to do is quickly recover from your injuries. Don’t have after–effects because you haven’t recuperated well” Barclay hurriedly nodded violently. “Fairlee, don’t worry. I’ll recuperate well! If you help me take revenge, my injuries will heal faster!” Fairlee shook her head helplessly. “Oh, I don’t know when you’ll grow up Barclay immediately pressed his head against the back of Fairlee’s hand like a puppy. “With you taking care of me, I don’t want to grow up.” Fairlee smiled dotingly and tapped Barclay’s forehead. “I don’t know what to say to you!” Barclay chuckled and couldn’t help but ask. “Then, Fairlee, how do you plan to avenge me? Find someone to beat up that ugly freak? “Silly boy, it’s against the law to beat someone up. Am I the kind of person who breaks the law deliberately? Besides, so what if I beat her up? Physical injuries will heal quickly. I won’t use such a low–level method of revenge,” said Fairlee. Killing people without leaving a trace was what she would do. “Then you…” Barclay still wanted to ask, but Fairlee interrupted him. “Don’t ask so many questions. They’re not things you should be worried about. You only need to recover from your injuries. You don’t have to worry about anything else.” 1/3 14 25 Sat, Jul 6 GMD Chapter 98 “Alright. Barclay nodded. He only wanted to know that his aunt would avenge him. As for Mabel, who had used him and betrayed him. He wanted to take revenge himself! Fairlee sat in the ward for a while, then went to remind the attenling doctor a few things before taking the elevator downstairs. Aber the elevator descended, someone entered the elevator from the tenth floor. Fairler subconsciously raised her head and her eyes lit up the next moment. She asked, “Are you Janet Janet was in a terrible mood. 82 She had wanted for so many years, but she could not even say that she liked him. However, an ugly monster appeared out of nowhere and snatched the seat beside Ken. How could she be in a good mood? If it were anything else, she would never directly come and mock the other party only to vent her anger. But this time, she had indeed lost her mind. Now that she thought about it, she felt slightly frustrated and regretful for her impulsiveness. Therefore, she did not hear Fairlee call her the first time. It was not until Fairlee called her again that she reacted and looked up at her. “You are… Ms. Lawrence?” Fairlee was Janet’s mother’s former colleague. The two of them used to be very close. Later on Janet’s mother was promoted and went to a higher court in Insterimond. Only then did the two of them gradually reduce their interactions. However, they would still find a place to gather during festive seasons, After recognizing Fairlee, Janet forced a smile. “Ms. Lawrence, what a coincidence.” Fairlee smiled brightly and said, “Yes, Tm here to visit my useless. Let’s not talk about this. Weren’t you overseas? When did you come back?” “Tve only been back for a few days. My mother hasn’t been feeling well for the past few years and planned to retire early, so I’ve been looking for a house in Silverlake recently. After a brief pause, Janet asked, “Who are you visiting at the hospital?” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 98” »
Chapter 97 Melody choked and did not know how to answer. She couldn’t possibly say that Ulric cheated her of everything in her previous life and that he tricked her into going to the hospital to have her heart cut out and die If she said this, she would immediately be taken to the mental hospital. Fortunately, Ken did not seem to want to know the answer. He did not continue to ask and only said calmly. Til stop joking Look at who the other person on the marriage certificate is.” “The other person? Melody was surprised, thinking, ‘Is my marriage partner not Ulric? Melody picked up the marriage certificate she had torn into two halves and thrown on the ground suspiciously. When she saw the name on it, her eyes widened as she looked at Ken in disbelief. “You?” Ken straightened his back and said expressionlessly. “Tll pay you salary. 100 dollars a day. Just cooperate with me and act for my grandma! After settling his grandmother, he could rest assured and put the matter of Pearly Antiques on the agenda at the headquarters in Silverlake. Melody felt that her brain was not working properly. “How come have left the dark and damp abandoned garage and even gotten married to Ken when I wake up?” She wondered what happened when she was unconscious. However, she was not stupid. She quickly thought of Margaret based on Ken’s words. “Margaret wants me to marry you?” she asked “Or else?” Ken shrugged. “Alright…” Melody thought, “That makes sense. Why would Ken want to marry me? So, I have somehow married Ken and successfully allied with him? Ken glanced at her and repeated, “100 dollars a day until we don’t need to stay married to each other. Are you going to do this deal” Melody’s mind raced. She was engaged to the Swanson family when she was young. Also, she did need a backer because she had just arrived in Silverlake. The title of Ken’s wife was enough for her to accomplish many things. Moreover, Russell would not let go of the opportunity to become in–laws with the Swanson family. Instead of being married to Ulric, it was better to cooperate with Ken. In any case, Ken and her had a common enemy, Ulric. stas After a moment of silence, just as Ken was about to lose his patience, Melody suddenly said, ‘One thousand dollars a day. I’m very expensive.” The corner of Ken’s mouth twitched, and it took him a long time before he said, “Melody, you’re something” “Thank you. I’ll take it as a compliment. Don’t worry, this price is fair. You’ll know very soon that I’m worth this price,” said Melody. < 14 24 Sat Jul 6 Gu Chapter 97 Tthat so Ken glanced at her from head to toe and his gaze lingered on her chest for a few seconds. Melody blushed and quickly covered her chest. “What are you thinking? I mean, I can help you with your career. “Alright” Ken waved his hand and interrupted her. “It’s settled” “It was only one thousand dollars a day. He didn’t think it would be a loss as long as he could please Margaret” As for his career, he did not think a girl from the countryside could help him much. She did not seem professional at anything else except for her medical skills. Thank you, Mr. Swanson!” Melody bowed solemnly to Ken and added. “My salary needs to be settled daily!” She wanted him to pay her daily because she needed money very much! However, when Ken heard this, he could not help but look displeased, thinking. She is such a money–loving woman. I did not know why I had agreed to register my marriage with her for Grandmother. However, since things have come to this, I can only suck omit‘ Ken handed Melody a card and reminded her, “As long as you do well, I’ll pay you the day’s salary at midnight, but this has to be kept a secret from everyone. Your only job is to make my grandma happy. Also, don’t announce our marriage to the public now so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Do you understand?” “Got it.” Although Melody agreed, she knew very well what he was thinking. What did he mean by causing unnecessary trouble? Didn’t he say so only because he thought my face would embarrass m? Men are all like this. Even Ken judges girls on their appearances, Melody thought unhappily. However, Melody did not know Ken was protecting her by asking her to do so Melody would be ridiculed for her appearance and upbringing if the news of their marriage went public. She was a girl after all, so her heart must be fragile. After giving her the card, Ken prepared to leave Tm busy. Call me if anything happens. I’ve arranged a nurse for you. You can be discharged tomorrow. I’ve already paid the medical bills for you. Don’t contact me if there’s no need,” said Ken “Got it.” As she agreed, Melody complained in her hear, “How heartless. We’re still in a one–thousand–dollar–a–day relationship, after all.” ... Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 97” »
Chapter 96 Melody did not bear Astrid’s words clearly for a moment. She only thought that Astrid thought that she wanted to marry Uine very much At the thought, Melody put away her expression and said expressionlessly, “Mrs. Swanson, don’t worry I wont INLIITY into the Swanson family even if I die” Its not easy for me to have the chance to live again. And I’m marrying Ulric again? Just thinking about it made Melody feel disgusted! “Huh” Astrid steered and said. “But aren’t you already married into the Swanson family? You’re so shameless. You’ve already gotten your mamage certificate, yet you still want to pretend to be high–hearted here. Who are you going to show it to? But let me remand you, it’s not so easy to be the daughter–in–law of the Swanson family. Be careful not to suffer a backlash!” With that, Astrid turned around and walked out. She did not want to look at Melody’s face for a second. She felt it was too disgusting! “Want” Melody hurriedly stopped Astrid. “What do you mean? What marriage certificate? Make it clear!” However, Astrid ignored her and quickly disappeared from the ward. Hey You… Melody hurriedly sat up from the bed and wanted to chase after her, but her hand was on an IV drip and she felt dizzy again. She had no choice but to sit back on the bed obediently. Outside the ward. Ulne said leisurely, “Don’t you want Pearly Antiques? I heard that Dad wants to expand Pearly Antiques and turn it into the number–one antique treasure shop in the country. From the looks of it, Dad probably won’t give Pearly Antiques to you or me for the time being” Although Pearly Antiques was only an antique treasure shop, it also contained auctioning antiques, treasure restoration, and various other derivative industries. The big shots and rich businessmen loved this the most. Therefore, even if the income of Pearly Antiques could not compare to a project of the Swanson Group, it was important for socializing. This was also why Ken couldn’t take back Pearly Antiques after so many years of hard work. Now that Ramon wanted to expand Pearly Antiques, it was bad news… However, this news came from Ulric’s mouth, so it was not certain if it was true. Ken looked at him coldly. Suddenly, Ken pursed his lips and sand with a half–smile, “I heard you went out this time to look for a rehabilitation doctor, right? You’re finally willing to treat your legs? What did the doctor say? Don’t tell me it’s too Late” Linc suddenly clenched his fists and was about to speak when Altrid walked out of the ward with a dark expression, as if she was furious with Melody The mother and son seemed to be no match for Ken… This feeling was maddening and suffocating! Chapter 96 “Don’t worry “Ulnd took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his emotions. “My legs will recover soon. At that time. Til directly enter the headquarters to work. Ken, you don’t have to worry about anything in Silverlake.” Ken shrigged nonchalantly as if he didn’t care Uine was instantly even angrier, but he did not want Ken to know that Ken had angered him. He could only endure the anger and throw the marriage certificate into Ken’s hand before controlling the wheelchair to leave. Before he left, he did not forget to mock Ken. “I wish you and the beautiful Miss Fox a blissful marriage!” Melody was so ugly. They could imagine mockery would spread throughout Silverlake once the news spread! Thinking of this Ulric’s mood improved a line. As the mother and son walked into the elevator, Ulric asked, “How did the investigation go? Why did she and Ken get marned!” Astrid choked She was too focused on bickering with Melody to find out anything. “Ahem!” Astrid coughed dryly and said. “You can rest assured. That girl only wants to marry into the Swanson family and climb the social ladder. Her words are vulgar! Inferior! She doesn’t look like a socialite at all. She’s exactly like a shrew in the countryside. You can completely believe what I’ve found about her. She’s just a village girl who grew up in the countryside! Seeing Astrid’s confident expression, Ulric let down his guard a little. Now, he could at least confirm that Ken had married a useless and ugly woman who was of no help to him. “From the looks of it, Ken did so because he wanted Margaret to have a great–grandson as soon as s possible. I admire his filial piety, but don’t let your guard down. If there’s any news about Melody, let me know immediately,” said Ulric. Although the truth was already in front of him, Ulric still felt uneasy. “Got it” Astrid nodded, but she didn’t take this matter to heart at all In her opinion, Melody had nothing that she should be wary of other than her medical skills. However, was that the case? Ken watched as the elevator door closed, and his dark eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous cold light He thought, This mother and son had better not think of snatching Pearly Antiques from me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to care about the Swanson family’s reputation. Based on everything that had happened in the past, I will tear apart this layer of the Swanson family’s cover without hesitation. ay from the elevator and walked into the ward, Ken looked away He had just heard from the nurse that Melody had woken up and her fever had just subsided, but she still needed to be hospitalized for another day of observation … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 96” »
Chapter 95 Margaret’s words shocked Astrid and Ulric so much. The moment Margaret said those words, Astrid’s eyes widened. Even Ulric opened his mouth slightly, his eyes filled with shock, Ken wants to marry that ugly woman? With that woman’s look, can’t make out with her even after turning off the lights. What is Ken thinking? Is he crazy, or does he have another motive? Ulric’s mind raced, but he could not find an answer. However, there was a vague sense of uneasiness and uncertainty in his heart. It was as if something had changed and was getting further and further away from him. Before Ulric could figure out why he felt this way, Margaret took out their marriage certificate as if she were presenting a treasure. “Look, this is their marriage certificate. I was about to send it to them, but I ran for half a day today and my strength has been exhausted. Since you’re here, help me send it up. Something happened to Melody’s family. She has a high fever and is hospitalized. She’s on the tenth floor of the inpatient department Unlike Ulric, Astrid did not think much about it. She only felt that her son finally did not have to marry an ugly woman from the countryside and be mocked by the entire Silverlake. She was already overjoyed. Astrid swallowed hard and took the marriage certificate happily Then, she said, “If you’re not feeling well, go back and rest quickly. You’ve just recovered from a serious illness and need to recuperate more. Ulric and I will help you send this marriage certificate up. I can give my daughter–in–law a big present. Margaret nodded and smiled again. She held the maid’s hand and left. As soon as Margaret left, Astrid could no longer hide her joy. She said ecstatically, “Ulric! That’s great! I knew God would bless us since I often went to the church! Now you don’t have to marry that country girl anymore. Margaret has helped us a lot When Ulric heard this, confusion appeared in his eyes, He asked, “What country girl are you talking about? Isn’t Ken’s marriage partner the ugly woman who used to be the top socialite in Silverlake?” “What nonsense are you talking about?” Astrid was stunned. She suddenly patted Ulric’s shoulder and said, “Ulric, are you mistaken? That ugly woman is the girl from the countryside, Melody. The top socialite in Silverlake is her sister, Mabel” Ulric was instantly stunned, thinking, ‘So… I have been wrong all along?” After realizing he had confused Mabel and Melody, Ulric’s expression became even darker. He couldn’t help but wonder, If Ken doesn’t care about the title of the top socialite, why did he marry that ugly woman from the countryside? “We have to find out immediately who Melody is,” said Ulric “Who could she be? I’ve already investigated. She’s Wilona’s daughter. After Yolanda entered the Fox family, she thought of a way to get that girl to the countryside. That girl only returned this year. Who do you think she is? A useless country bumpkin!” “Is that true? Ulric still didn’t want to believe it. However, Astrid sent the results of the investigation directly to his phone. He read the information and confirmed that Melody was an ordinary girl who had grown up in the countryside. 1/3 Mi he Ch. Ch. Chapter 931 “Am I overthinking? It Ken’s goal only to make Grandma happy if that’s the case, I seem to have overestimated Ken. Ulne thought One had to know that it was a big deal for people of their class to marry someone. A wife could be a springboard or a representation of their identity. But they would never marry a country woman like Melody, who had no background, no ability, and was extremely ugly After thinking this through, Ulric was no longer tense. Instead, he took the marriage certificate from Astrid’s hand, wanting to go up and see Ken’s expression. “He’s marrying an ugly freak. He probably won’t look good. With that thought in mind, Ulric’s lips curled up, and a sly glint flashed across his eyes as he followed Astrid to the tenth floor of the inpatient department. When he reached the tenth floor, he saw Ken communicating with the nurse at the ward door, Ch. Ken had always been a meticulous person. He always seemed to be wearing a suit with his buttons buttoned up tightly. covering his Adam’s apple and collarbone tightly. He looked restrained and cold. Usually, when he saw Ken like this, Ulric would have a complicated feeling in his heart. But now that he saw Ken, he was in good mood “Ken.” Ulrictook the initiative to greet him and said gentlemanly, “I heard Miss Fox has a fever. How is she now?” The CH CI C He deliberately provoked Ken, but Ken said calmly. “She’s much better. Thank you for being so concerned” With that, Ulric suddenly covered his mouth and smiled. “Sorry, I forgot to change how I addressed her. I shouldn’t call her Miss Fox anymore. I should call her Sister–in–law.” WI Ulric choked and felt defeated because he didn’t anger Ken. “You’ve changed a lot in the past few years, Ulric said through gritted teeth. In the past, Ken could be angered by a few words from him, but now, he felt nothing he said could hurt Ken. What has Ken experienced in the past few years when I was not in Silverlake to make him much stronger than before?‘ Ulric wondered: … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 95” »
Chapter 94 “Go. Ken instructed James in a low voice. “Find out who Melody knew when she was in the countryside. Most importantly ⠀find out whom she learned her medical skills from“ He wanted to investigate Melody’s background. Even if Ken married Melody to suit his grandmother’s wishes, he could not tolerate his nominal wife being a person of unknown background. “Okay!” James had long wanted to do this. He immediately agreed and went to the countryside to investigate. At the same time, Janet, who had made an appointment with Jaines to see a house, waited in front of the real estate sales building for two hours, but James was nowhere to be seen. At this moment, the real estate salesperson walked to her with a strange expression and asked, “Miss, it’s been two hours. When do you plan to pay?” Janet noticed the other party’s eyes were filled with disdain and displeasure, questioning whether she could afford a house Janet’s expression was dark as she replied, “I’m waiting for someone. I’ll go pay soon.” It was not that she could not afford it. It was just 6 million dollar. To her, it was ist an insignificant sum of money However, this was a house given to her by Ken Who would pay for it had a different meaning. However, the salesperson’s expression was even more disdainful She stuck out her nose and said. “Miss, you’re so beautiful. Why do you have to rely on a man at such a young age instead of relying on yourself? It’s not that I want to say this, but the price of this house is not low. Are you sure the man behind you will fork out this money for you? Why don’t we stop wasting each other’s time! Coincidentally, a guest has taken a fancy to the house you chose. You can come again another day.” “What do you mean?” Even Janet, a socialite, could not help but be angry. She asked, “Are you saying I have a sugar daddy!” The salesperson shrugged. “I didn’t say that. Don’t accuse me.” “You…” Janet had a high self–esteem. Coupled with the fact that she was the young lady of the Murphy family in Insterimand, she didn’t care to quarrel with these lower–class people. This was an act of lowering her status. Hence, Janet opened her mouth but said nothing in the end. She went to the payment office with a cold expression and bought the house. Janet only felt better when she saw the salesperson’s surprised gaze. After she walked out of the door, Janet took a deep breath before dialing James’s phone. James had followed Ken since he was young. To Ken, James was got only his subordinate. He was also Ken’s friend who had risked his life for Ken. It was why Janet waited two hours without calling James to urge him. Not long after, James’s call went through. “Miss Murphy, what’s the matter?” As soon as James said that, he realized he had forgotten Ken’s other instruction to buy a house with Janet today. He choked and was about to apologize when he heard Janet laugh understandingly. “Looks like you’re very busy today” Hearing this. James felt even more guilty. Tm sorry, Miss Murphy.

I’m calling in case you come a all this way for nothing,” said Janet James’s face turned red with guilt, and his grip on the phone involuntarily tightened. “Miss Murphy, I….I need to tell you something” “Yes! Just say it.” Janet sounded indifferent “Actually Mr. Ken and Miss Fox are about to get married” said James. He knew Ken did not want to tell anyone about this now, but he knew Janet’s feelings for Ken. Janet was such an understanding person, so he did not want to hide it from her. When the person on the other end of the phone heard James’s words, she almost fell. “What… did you say?” Janet tried to steady herself, but her voice was still trembling. The CH CI C WI At the entrance of the city hall. Margaret used her connections to successfully register marriage for Melody and Ken when they didn’t even come personally. She took the marriage certificate and ran to the hospital happily However, just as she arrived at the hospital, she bumped into Astrid and Ulric. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 94” »
Chapter 93 They were all so scared that they wanted to faint with the deputy director. One had to know they had tried their best to stop Melody from treating Margaret. They had even called Melody a liar Now that a week had passed, the “female liar” they talked about had cured Margaret. How was this a female liar? She was simply a female miracle–working doctor! After all they had never encountered an illness like Margaret’s before. It was a complicated illness They could only understand the situation by cutting open her abdomen. However, Melody only prescribed a few traditional medicines and cured her. With such a comparison, it immediately accentuated their incompetence. The Swanson family was the biggest shareholder of this hospital, If the Swanson family blamed them, they could forget about continuing in this industry… At the thought of this possibility, they became restless. However, Margaret could not be bothered to look at these people. She rushed to Melody’s bed. What did the doctor say?” she asked Ken with a serious expression Ken repeated what the doctor said and comforted Margaret. “It shouldn’t be a big deal. Don’t worry.” “How can I not be worried?” Margaret slapped her thigh and said regretfully, “I should have gone to the Fox family earlier so this child wouldn’t have suffered so much! How cruel Russell is! He even locked up his daughter and made her starve. Even if he doesn’t feel sorry for her, I will!” Margaret’s heart ached for Melody. She and Maria were good friends. Melody was Maria’s granddaughter, so she was also like a granddaughter to Margaret. In addition, Melody had cured her illness and given her hope to live. At this moment, when she saw Melody’s pale face and unconsciousness, her heart trembled. Ken pursed his lips and said nothing “How about this?” Margaret clapped her hands as she said, “The Fox family didn’t treat Melody well, right? How about this? Marry Melody. When she gets discharged from the hospital, you two will get married! No, there’s no need to wait until she recovers. I’ll go to the city hall personally and help register your marriage! When the two of you get married, I think Russell won’t dare to torture her like this anymore.” Ken was shocked and quickly stopped Margaret “Grandma! Stop fooling around!” “I’m not fooling around. I’m very serious. Stay here with Melody Call me immediately when she wakes up. As Margaret spoke, she walked out. After Margaret recovered from her illness, she had great power of action. She did whatever she wanted and immediately carried it out. Seeing that Margaret was about to leave the emergency room, Ken could only ask Ramon to stop her. He said, “Dad, please stop Grandma. Don’t let her fool around.” 1/3 ||| Chapter 93 However, not only did Raman not stop Margaret, but he also stopped Ken. He said calmly, “Ken, our family had an engagement agreement with the Fox family when you were young. You know about this.” Ken narrowed his eyes. “Sof” “Coincidentally, your grandmother is also satisfied with Miss Fox. Let’s do as your grandmother says. After all, Miss Fox has done us a favor. In addition, she’s not doing well in the Fox family, so we might as well let her stay by your grandmother’s sade and accompany her.” After that, Ramon paused and added, “What’s more, Miss Fox’s character is good. Although she’s not very good–looking, you can’t judge a wife by her appearance. Of course, if you’re not ready, you can hide your marriage first. After you two get married and live together for a year or two, you can get a divorce if you’re still dissatisfied with her Ken listened to Ramon’s words expressionlessly, and his heart turned cold. Ramon was indeed cunning. On the surface, everything he said seemed for Ken’s good, but it was all for his benefit. Ken opened his mouth and suddenly sneered. “Since that’s what you mean, let’s do it,” “Alright.” Ramon nodded and patted his shoulder. “If Miss Fox wakes up, let me know. I have to prepare for the business trip” After saying that, Ramon turned around and quickly left the ward. Coincidentally, he bumped into James. James bowed respectfully to Ramon and watched Ramon enter the elevator before quickly closing the door. He walked up to Ken worriedly and said, “Mr. Ken, how could you agree to marry Miss Fox just like that?” Ken’s black eyes were filled with an inexplicable coldness, but in the end, he only said calmly. “My grandma wants to have a great–grandson, so I followed her wishes.” “I know Mrs. Margaret means well, but Miss Fox.. comes from the countryside after all. She doesn’t seem to know anything else excepi for her medical skills. I reasonably suspect Mr. Ramon has other motives for letting her marry you. You can’t agree so easily.” James looked so worried as he said. Ken did not say anything. He did not know what Ramon was up to Ken had managed the branch company in Insterimond well in the past two years. He had nurtured almost all the higher–ups in the branch company- Such a situation was very disadvantageous to Ramon’s power. Now, Ramon had arranged for Melody, who knew nothing, to be Ken’s wife. This would affect Ken’s future development. However, Ramon had forgotten that Ken had relied on no one else to get here step by step. A wife who knew nothing could not shackle Ken. On the contrary, if he accepted it just like that, it would make Ramon let down his guard and feel Ken was easy to manipulate. In this way, it would help Ken infiltrate the headquarters and take back Pearly Antiques. In addition, he did not seem to hate Melody. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 93” »
Chapter 92 Hearing the word “husband“, Ken could not help but be stunned. However, he immediately took the document from the doctor and signed his name. Seeing that Ken did not refute, the doctor was surprised, thinking. This man is handsome and imposing, and the girl lying on the bed. Her face is so scary. They are so unsuitable for each other. I can’t believe they’re husband and wife. However, he had been in the emergency department for a long time, so such a thing was not rare. Therefore, the doctor quickly did not dwell on this. He wrote a list and asked Ken to pay the fee. James, who was beside Ken, did not dare to let Ken pay the bill himself. He quickly took the bill and ran off to work. Ken did not comment on James’s actions. Melody was still unconscious, and Margaret didn’t walk fast. The parking spot was far from here, so it would probably take her some time to reach the emergency department. At this moment, Melody did need someone to accompany her. As for this person, if it were anyone else, he would not be at ease Ken looked at the girl’s furrowed brows on the bed. For some reason, complicated emotions arose in his heart. He suddenly thought of Melody’s words when she last appeared in the Swanson family’s residence. He knew now Melody had guessed that Russell and the others would misunderstand and even punish her. That was why she had told Ken that she might not come to the Swanson family for the next few days. “But how is that possible? She doesn’t know how to predict the future. How would she know that she would be locked up by Russell and unable to leave? Ken narrowed his eyes as he wondered. He felt the girl close to him. However, he could not see her true colors. Melody’s face was covered in red spots. When he first saw her, he was also shocked. But now, for some reason, not only did he not find her ugly, but he even felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye than most of the socialites in Silverlake. Melody seemed to have had a bad dream, and her brows furrowed into a frown. They said that people were the most relaxed when they were asleep. Ken wondered what kind of life Melody had been living in the Fox family that made her frown even in her sleep. Ken could not help but reach his hand to stroke Melody’s forehead, wanting to smooth out her frown. However, just as his hand was about to touch Melody’s face, a voice suddenly came from behind. “Mr. Swanson!” Ken’s hand paused and he turned around with a dark expression The deputy director put on a fawning expression and said, “Why didn’t you tell me directly when you came? With Mrs. Margaret’s condition, we’ve already arranged everything. Now that the surgery and anesthesia are ready, we’re just waiting for Mrs. Margaret to go in for surgery. There’s no need to wait in the emergency department.” Ken frowned and asked playfully. “What do you mean?” The deputy director only felt Ken was deliberately making things difficult for him. He coughed twice and said, “Mr. Swanson, don’t beat around the bush with me. I might have accidentally contradicted you previously, but Mrs. Margaret’s safety is the most important thing now. The one–week deadline that that female liar mentioned has already expired, but if I’m not wrong, not only has Mrs. Margaret’s health not recovered, but it’s even worse, right?” If it isn’t for that, Ken wouldn’t have rushed to the hospital. It must be because he can’t bring himself to beg us to treat Mrs. ווו Chapter 92 Margaret, the deputy director thought However, since Ken was here, he naturally had to give Ken a way out. Π At the thought of this, the deputy director continued. “That female har is glib–tongued. It’s not strange that she deceived you and Mrs. Margaret. I’ve seen many liars like her. That kind of people only have money in their minds. They don’t care about the patient’s safety at all” “Only having money in mind and not caring about the patient’s safety… Ken repeated the deputy director’s words with a The deputy director looked at the smile on Ken’s face and unknowingly had goosebumps. Ken was smiling, but for some reason, he felt it was more terrifying than when Ken wasn’t smiling. Before the deputy director could get rid of the goosebumps on his body, Ken suddenly said. “As expected of the deputy director of Silverlake Hospital. You know your character very well. The deputy director was stunned. He couldn’t help but ask with a stiff face. “What do you mean?” Ken chuckled softly and said. “You only have money in your mind and don’t care about the patient’s safety. Aren’t you talking about yourself?” “1. L.” There were a lot of patients in the emergency room, but not many of them knew he was the deputy director As soon as Ken said this, the patients and their families in the emergency room looked at the deputy director. The deputy director was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. When he felt everyone’s gaze, he hurriedly pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile. “Mr. Swanson, don’t joke with me. You know, I was talking about that female liar.” “Is that so?” Ken raised his eyebrows and said. “As the deputy director, you don’t think about managing the hospital well. All you think about is how to fill your own pockets. You cooperate with pharmaceutical companies and sell some cheap medicine as imported medicine. You work with equipment companies and sell medical equipment to the hospital at a high price. You secretly accept bribes from the patient’s family. Doesn’t all of this confirm what you just said?” He only had money in his mind and did not care about the patient’s safety. Ken’s tone was casual, but every word he said was like a heavy bomb, blasting the deputy director’s mind into a blank. The emergency room was silent. No one knew who started it, but they threw a ball of discarded tissue paper at the deputy director. They cursed. “Beast!” “You’re not worthy of being a doctor!” In an instant, the emergency room was in chaos. The deputy director had turned into a person hated by everyone. In no time, the deputy director was covered in wounds. Ken just watched all of this indifferently. He did not investigate the background of this deputy director for Melody, but he investigated every doctor who treated his grandmother. In addition, he had a photographic memory, so he clearly remembered the deputy director’s information. However, he did not … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 92” »
Chapter 91 Although Mabel complained about Ulric’s waste, she was filled with joy. Which girl didn’t like a rich and handsome man giving her piles of expensive gifts? No one could refuse! dark. However, after Mabel finished speaking, she realized Yolanda’s expression was abnormally dar She was shocked. Her first reaction was not that there was a problem with the gift, but whether Yolanda had quarreled with Russell As expected. Mabel noticed the palm print on Yolanda’s face. So, they have quarreled, and Dad has hit Mom! Mabel was surprised as she thought. Mabel quickly suppressed the joy in her heart and frowned as she muttered to Russell, Dad, Mom works hard for this family all day. Why do you always make her unhappy? What’s there to fuss about between husband and wife?” Yolanda quickly stopped her. “Mabel, stop talking. Go upstairs!” She did not have time to explain to Mabel that those gifts were not from Ulric, nor did she dare to do it in front of Russell. She only wanted to pull Mabel upstairs first. However, Mabel broke free from Yolanda’s hand and said, “Mom, I’ve grown up. Don’t think I can’t interfere just because this is between you adults..” Yolanda felt a headache coming. She grabbed Mabel’s hand and wanted to stop her from continuing, but it was too late. Mabel said quickly. “Besides, is this the time to argue? The matter caused by that troublemaker Melody hasn’t been resolved yet. How can you still have internal strife?” “Mabel!” Yolanda was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She looked at Russell in fear. As expected, she saw Russell’s terrifying expression. He glared at Mabel. Mabel was also shocked but only felt aggrieved because she did not know the situation. She could not help but say unhappily, “Dad, why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? I…” Before she could finish speaking. Russell suddenly took a few steps forward and raised his hand to give Mabel a heavy slap. After a crisp sound, Russell roared, “Shut the fuck up!” Mabel’s eardrums rumbled. If Yolanda had not supported her, she would have been slapped to the ground. The shock and pain made Mabel cry. She broke down and cried When Russell heard Mabel’s cries, he felt even more frustrated. Just as he was about to slap her a second time, Yolanda suddenly knelt in front of him and said, “Russell! Mabel said these things because she doesn’t know anything. Don’t hit her anymore. If you want to hit someone, hit me!” Russell gritted his teeth. “Do you think I don’t dare to hit you?” Yolanda shivered and didn’t dare to say anything else. She begged. “It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. Things wouldn’t have turned out like this if I hadn’t made a mistake. If I had known that Melody’s medical skills were so superb that she had cured Margaret, you wouldn’t have locked Melody up, and you wouldn’t have been so embarrassed when the Swanson family Chapter 91 came to thank Melody. It’s all my fault. It has nothing to do with Mabel” Mabel was hiding behind Yolanda. She felt her scalp tingle when she heard this. “Wh… what?” There was so much information in Yolanda’s words that Mabel forgot the pain on her cheek. She confirmed with Yolanda in a daze. “Mom, what did you just say? Did you say that Melody cured Margaret?” Yolanda didn’t say anything, but her expression was already answering Mabel. At this moment. Mabel suddenly understood why Russell had such a huge reaction when she said Melody was a troublemaker She finally understood why her father, who had never hit her mother, slapped her mother. It was because Yolanda was the one who started the entire family’s panic in the beginning, making everyone believe that Margaret would die of Melody’s treatment and that the Swanson family would find trouble with them From the very beginning Yolanda was wrong. She was completely wrong. They deserved to be slapped by Russell However, Mabel and Yolanda did not feel it was their fault. Instead, they blamed Melody for everything. If Melody had not returned to Silverlake and caused trouble, everything that had happened recently would not have happened The two of you!” Russell took a deep breath and stopped slapping Mabel, considering Ulric might be interested in her. He said coldly, “From today onward, the two of you return to your rooms and reflect on yourselves. When Melody comes back, you have to apologize to her! Do you understand? Since Melody had such powerful medical skills, she was his most outstanding cash cow. Although I had already offended this cash cow, how can there be overnight grudges between father and daughter? I’ll make up for it in the future. With that in mind, Russell chased Yolanda and Mabel upstairs while he waited at the door for Melody to return after treating her illness so that he could show his fatherly love to her immediately. At the same time, at Silverlake Hospital. The few doctors who had previously consulted Margaret were especially energetic today. After finishing their work, they gathered together. “Director, we’ve been waiting for so many days. Why hasn’t the Swanson family called?” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 91” »
