Pamela felt as if she had been hit by a huge bomb. Her mind instantly went blank. It turned out that her family was not the sponsor of every celebrity of the Swanson Universal Entertainment. On the contrary, the celebrities that she kept looking down on were actually more important than her father’s company. She was devastated by this piece of news. Troy kept begging for mercy, but Pamela’s ears could no longer hear anything. Her eyes were lifeless as if her soul had been separated from her body. Ken pinched his eyebrows impatiently and said indifferently, “Don’t worry, the stupid thing your daughter did has nothing to do with your company. I’m not the kind of person who takes my anger out on others.” Troy looked down and knew that his daughter’s imprisonment was inevitable. After weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and took the initiative to say to the police, “Guys, I’m sorry for wasting your time. Take her away and help me educate her. Don’t show mercy!” The police found Troy’s sudden change of attitude very funny, but they were professionally trained and usually wouldn’t laugh unless they couldn’t help it. Hence, they said in all seriousness, “We’re civilized law–enforcement officers. We won’t do anything rude. We’ll take her away now.” After saying that, they dragged Pamela, who was almost in a daze, out, attracting a lot of attention along the way. Ken looked at Melody. “Alright, let’s go. It’s late. I’ll send you back.” Melody nodded and did not look at Troy who was still kneeling on the ground. She called out to the dumbfounded Zara and walked out. After leaving the hospital, Zara looked at Ken, who was walking behind, and couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Miss Fox, what’s going on? Aren’t you an assistant? Why have you become his female companion? Also, what’s going on with Zack? I clearly heard Pamela’s hand crack. Why was it fine when the doctor checked it?” Zara’s mind was filled with questions. She only felt that Melody was an extremely mysterious person. She was certain that Melody was not an ordinary person. Melody did not explain that she was a doctor and was familiar with all the parts and bones in a person’s body. It was very easy for her to dislocate someone’s hand and place it back together secretly. She smiled and said, “Just take it that the heavens are helping us. As for the rest, you don’t have to know.” Zara nodded and looked at Melody with reverence. When they reached the entrance of the hospital, James happened to drive over. Melody took the opportunity to say, “This place is close to my house. I can just take the bus back. Ken, help me send Miss Wentworth off. She’s a celebrity, so it’s not convenient for her to take a taxi or a bus.” On the way out of the hospital, many people had already recognized Zara. Zara’s face instantly turned red. Knowing that Melody was pulling the strings for her, she could not help but look at Melody gratefully. However, Ken looked at James and said expressionlessly, “Send Miss Wentworth back. I’ll take another car with Melody.” “Yes.” James did not dare to object and helped Zara open the car door. Zara was stunned, but she couldn’t say anything. She waved at Melody and got into the car. The car quickly drove away, and another car stopped in front of Melody. The driver got out and handed the car key to Ken. Melody felt that it was a pity. Such a good opportunity to send a beauty home had been ruined by Ken again. “Get in the car.” Ken did not say anything else. He ordered her to get in the car. His expression did not look good. Melody thought, ‘What happened? Didn’t the matter resolve perfectly? Why did Ken seem to be angry? Could it be that he felt that I am too good at causing trouble?‘ Melody sat in the passenger seat with a belly full of confusion. Before she could figure out the reason for Ken’s change in attitude, she heard Ken’s angry voice beside her. “Being a matchmaker for your husband and another woman. Melody, you’re really something.” Melody was stunned. She thought that she was smart but did not think that Ken would notice this at all. 1/2 11:26 AM Chapter 220 It turned out that he knew everything. Melody felt like she was trapped in a cocoon. She was annoyed at herself for taking the initiative to help someone matchmake. She braced herself and clasped her hands together. “I’m sorry. I saw that Miss Wentworth was a good person, so I wanted to help her… It’s my fault.” Ken gave her a sidelong glance and threw his phone onto Melody’s lap. “This must be your work too!” Melody quickly looked down and saw Zara’s message to Ken. She smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry, it won’t happen again…” Ken glared at her and warned, “If there’s a next time, I don’t mind announcing our marriage to the public, in case you introduce other random women to me.” Melody was shocked and quickly said, “Please don’t! I really won’t matchmaker you again.” Ken frowned and looked even more displeased. “Is it embarrassing for you to announce your marriage with me to the public?” His voice was cold. Melody quickly explained, “No… It’s just that you’re handsome, elegant, and rich. I’m afraid that those women who like you will nail me to death after finding out about it.” When Ken heard this, his expression softened a little. “I’m not as likable as you think. Don’t forget, everyone in Silverlake knows that I’m the devil who crippled Ulric’s legs.” “But the truth will come out one day,” Melody paused and asked, “Aren’t you going to clear your name?” He said, “It’s not necessary. It doesn’t matter.” He didn’t want to make everyone in the world like him. He just wanted to make sure that the people he cared about knew his true colors. Otherwise, it would only attract more trouble. He didn’t care to clarify. Melody looked at Ken’s indifferent attitude. Her heart was filled with helplessness and confusion. She thought, ‘He so so out of this world, but I am so eager for revenge. Even if Ken knows that I am capable enough to form an alliance with him, will he still help me take down Ulric? Actually, there is nothing wrong with Ken being like this. If I got closer to him, would I implicate … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 220” »

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 219 The doctor had seen patients who were difficult to talk to, but he had never seen anyone doubt that he could not diagnose whether the bones were broken. “If you really don’t believe me, then do an X–ray!” The doctor couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with Troy and Pamela. He directly asked Pamela to take an X–ray. Pamela wanted to flare up, but she did not want to ruin her image as a lady in front of Ken. She could only grit her teeth and take the list. She subconsciously used her right hand to catch it. When she reacted, she was shocked to realize that her right hand did not hurt at all. She thought, “What’s going on here? Could it be that Melody really didn’t break my hand? But I clearly felt that my hand was dislocated at that time and couldn’t even lift it up. I couldn’t be wrong about the feeling of bones being separated. What on earth is going on?‘ Pamela’s face was a little pale, and her heart was instantly in her throat. However, Troy did not notice anything strange about Pamela. He only thought that this doctor was either not skilled or had been bribed. However, a doctor could be bribed, but a machine could not fake it. He urged Pamela, “Pam, let’s go and take an X–ray now!” Pamela panicked. By the time she reacted, she was already standing in front of the X–ray machine. *Lift your sleeves up and drop your hands.” The doctor’s voice came from the radio in the X–ray room. Pamela came back to her senses and subconsciously pulled up her sleeve. In less than two seconds, the radio sounded again. “Done.” Because this was an injury assessment and their identities were extraordinary, the door of the X–ray room was not closed. When Troy heard the announcement, he immediately went to the small room in the back. Melody, Ken, and the others also walked over. Ken was at the front because of his long legs. Troy deliberately slowed down his footsteps and looked at Melody coldly. “Don’t think that we don’t know that you bribed the doctor. I wondered how you really let us come to the hospital. But don’t be smug. Machines can’t deceive people. Just wait to be jailed!” Melody did not comment. “Whether you believe it or not, her bones are not broken.” “Stop quibbling! I’ll see how you cry later! Soon, you’ll know that compared to Bobby, I will be an even worse nightmare for you!” Melody could not be bothered to argue with Troy. She quickened her pace to catch up with Ken. A few of them entered the small room one after another. Troy anxiously went forward and asked, “Doctor, are the scans out?” “The scan will be out in half an hour, but we can see the results on the computer now.” Troy asked, “Then help me see if my daughter’s hand is dislocated or broken.” The doctor saw that there were a lot of people and there were police officers around, so he didn’t refuse and directly opened his computer. The bones of Pamela were clearly visible on X–ray. The doctor took a serious look and said in confusion, “It’s not injured. Why are you here for an X–ray?” “This is impossible!” Troy said in disbelief, “Look carefully! My daughter can’t even move her hand. It’s impossible that she’s not injured!” The doctor pursed his lips impatiently and pulled out a picture. He pointed at the scans on the computer screen and said, “This is the hand of a normal person. This is your daughter’s hand. Look, other than the length and size, what’s the difference? There’s not a trace of crack on it. It’s intact!” “But… Troy seemed to be choked. The huge fear made his hands tremble. He subconsciously looked at Pamela and saw that Pamela was twisting her hand with a complicated expression. There was no pain on her face. He asked, “You’re not in pain anymore?” Pamela said with a pale face, “I don’t know what’s going on either… It doesn’t seem to hurt anymore.” “Mr. Clark.” The corners of Ken’s lips curled up slightly. He sneered and asked, “Do you need to go to another hospital?” 1/2 11:26 AM Chapter 219 “This…” Troy panicked and did not dare to look at Ken. Pamela cried and asked, “Dad, I don’t know what’s going on either… I was in so much pain just now. I even felt my hand break…” Troy’s expression was ugly, but he did not believe what Pamela said. If it wasn’t for his daughter, he would have left long ago. Troy gritted his teeth and shamelessly put on an apologetic expression. “Mr. Swanson, my daughter is insensible and told a small lie. Please don’t take it to heart!” “Little lie?” Ken smiled coldly. “Your lie is indeed very small. Even the police are alarmed.” Troy’s back stiffened. He turned around and slapped Pamela. “Useless thing! Apologize to Mr. Swanson and Miss Fox!” Pamela asked, “Dad? You hit me?” Ken could not be bothered to watch their argument. He said indifferently to the police, “Now that the procedure has been completed, deal with it as you should.” “Alright, Mr. Swanson.” The … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 219” »
Chapter 218 Troy couldn’t wait to call the police and seek justice for his daughter. He thought, ‘My beloved daughter is not someone that can be bullied by any country bumpkin!‘ Soon, two police cars stopped at the back door of River Hotel. Troy was the first to get into the car. Pamela held her injured hand and followed closely behind. Before she got into the car, she did not forget to lower her voice and say harsh words to Melody. “Little bitch, just you wait and see. I’ll see how long you can pretend to be calm! You’ll soon know that lowly people like you and Zara can only be beaten up by me. Don’t think that just because you’re lucky enough to become Mr. Swanson’s female companion, he’ll protect you. A ruthless person like him will only kick you away when things become rough!” Melody was unperturbed. “I’ll also advise you one last time. Your hand is not broken. Going to the hospital will only slap your own face.” Pamela sneered. “You’re feeling guilty and scared now, right? I surely have to go to the hospital. See you at the hospital!” With that, Pamela glared at Melody, opened the car door, and got in. Melody shrugged. Just as she was about to get into another police car, Zara walked forward worriedly and said, “Miss Fox, it’s all my fault that you got into so much trouble. You should push the responsibility to me. Just say that I broke her hand.” “Silly girl, why don’t you believe what I said?” Melody brushed Zara’s hair off her forehead and said, “Her hand is really not broken.” “But…” Zara still did not believe it. She clenched her fists and said, “Let me go to the hospital with you and Mr. Swanson, okay? If something really happens, push the blame to me. This is my fault anyway. You don’t have to suffer for me.” Melody was about to refuse, but she looked at Ken who was not far away, and then at Zara. She felt that it would be good if Zara was really with Ken. Zara had a good character. She was much better than Janet. If she created an opportunity for them, it might really work. If she really succeeded, as a matchmaker, she felt that Ken would have to help her in the future when she needed him. With that thought in mind, Melody swallowed her rejection and said, “Alright, come with us then.” Zara quickly nodded and led the way into the police car. Melody deliberately took two steps back and stood behind Ken. “Get in the car first.” Ken looked at her in confusion. “What about you?” She said, “I’ll go last.” He looked puzzled as he walked to the front passenger seat and sat down. The smile on Melody’s face froze. She sighed and thought, ‘No wonder I have never heard of his scandal in my previous life. With this brain of his, it will be strange if he can ever find a girlfriend on his own!’ She shook her head helplessly and sat down beside Zara. On the way, Zara couldn’t help but glance at Ken from time to time. The anxious feeling of being with Ken made her forget her nervousness for the time being. Her small face was flushed even with foundation on. Melody smiled and took the initiative to matchmake them. “Ken, this is a celebrity from your company. You should have an impression of her, right? Her name is Zara Wentworth. I’ve seen her movies. Her acting skills are not bad.” “I see,” Ken replied noncommittally. His voice was cold. However, even so, Zara’s face instantly turned red. Her blushed face turned into a red apple as she looked at Melody in embarrassment. Melody encouraged her with her eyes. Zara took a deep breath and mustered her courage. “Mr. Swanson, can I… add you on WhatsApp?” “There’s no need.” Ken refused without thinking, “Contact your agent directly about your work. I’m not in charge of Swanson Universal Entertainment. It’s useless to talk to me.” Melody’s face darkened. 1/2 11:26 AM Chapter 218 She thought, ‘How can he say that? No wonder he is single all his life!‘ “Okay…” Zara lowered her head, feeling a little uncomfortable. However, she also knew that now was not the time to be sad about these things. She quickly perked up and sat upright. At the same time, in another police car, Troy asked with concern, “How’s your hand now? Is it still very uncomfortable?” Pamela held her injured hand and did not dare to move. When she heard this, she suddenly realized that her hand did not hurt as much when Melody helped her up. 0 She thought, ‘Is it because I was looking forward to it too much, or is it because I did not move this injured hand again, or is it because my hand did not feel anything after she broke it? Probably all three. She didn’t think too much about it and said angrily, “I can’t even feel my broken hand. Of course, I feel terrible. Dad, you have to avenge me. It’s best if you can take this opportunity to kill Melody! I really can’t take this. I have to take revenge!” Troy only had one child. His heart ached for her and he comforted her repeatedly. “Alright. Don’t be angry. Your hand will hurt again when you move it.” Pamela asked, “Then tell me, are you going to avenge me or not?” “Of course I want revenge! There are only two kinds of people in the world who dare to bully my daughter. One is already dead, and the other is about to die. That woman is the latter.” As Troy spoke, he exhorted, “Just be careful of your hand. When we go to the hospital for a checkup and the evidence is conclusive, that woman won’t be able to deny it. Moreover, we’re in a police car. No matter what relationship Ken has with that woman, he can’t help Melody. He can’t use his connections to help a country bumpkin, right? Don’t worry, breaking a hand can send her to prison for at least half a year to a year. She won’t be able to escape!” Only then did Pamela feel much better. Her mood also became gloomy. She thought, ‘If I can kill Melody just like that, my broken hand will be worth it!‘ … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 218” »
Chapter 217 Ken lowered his eyes and sneered. He looked at the two of the I’m dealing with my own employees?” “Of course not…” Troy was shocked and quickly waved his hand. with a smile that did not reach his eyes. “Do I need you to decide what’s right when He did not know how Bobby had provoked Ken, but he and Bobby were just ordinary friends. Seeing that Bobby had fallen, he would not offend Ken because of Bobby. However, regarding his daughter’s broken hand, he believed that Ken would give him face. Thinking of this, Troy said, “How can we judge your decision? Bobby’s character is bad. You did the right thing! However… I hope Mr. Swanson can give us justice for my daughter.” Ken raised his eyebrows. “What a coincidence. I’m here for this as well.” Troy was relieved. Just as he was about to speak, Pamela, who was beside him, spoke first. She pointed at Melody with an uninjured finger and started to complain, “Mr. Swanson, this woman came here tonight by tricking Zack. I didn’t do anything, but she broke my hand! You have to stand up for me!” Pamela’s eyes were filled with tears. She looked extremely pitiful. Although she was not as beautiful as Mabel, she was the cute type that most men would like. However, after Pamela tried her best to make herself look even more pitiful, Ken did not even look at her. He walked straight to Melody and wrapped one arm around Melody’s waist. “Miss Clark, you’ve misunderstood. I’m here to look for my female companion. I heard that she was bullied, so I specifically came to take a look.” As soon as he finished speaking, Pamela’s eyes widened. Her pupils shrank to a point in shock. She was almost petrified when she saw Ken asking Melody in a low voice, “Are you injured?” “No.” Melody shook her head naturally. The two of them looked extremely close. Pamela thought, ‘Are there something wrong with my eyes? Otherwise, why did Ken speak up for Melody, this ugly girl from the countryside, and even hug her waist?‘ “Mr. Swanson…” Pamela rubbed her eyes and confirmed in disbelief, “You said she’s your female companion?” “Is there a problem?” Ken did not deny it. Zara, Pamela, Troy, and the others were stunned at the same time. The atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly. Pamela was unwilling to believe it and said anxiously, “But isn’t she Zack’s girlfriend?” “Zack’s girlfriend?” Ken narrowed his eyes and looked sideways at Melody. “What happened?” Melody shrugged and said helplessly, “It’s all a misunderstanding.” Ken looked at her deeply and turned to look at Troy. “Did you hear that? It’s all a misunderstanding. She’s not anyone’s girlfriend. She’s my female companion.” At this moment, Pamela was completely speechless. She came late and had no idea that Melody was Ken’s female companion. Troy was the first to come back to his senses and tried his best to digest this information. He gritted his teeth and forced a smile. “So this young lady is your female companion. Since we’re all on the same side, let’s not bicker about this small fight between girls. Forget it.” “Forget it?” Pamela disagreed in her heart. She said, “Dad, she hit me. How can I let it go just like that?” “This…” Troy was in a difficult position. Of course, he was unwilling to let it go just like that, but the other party was Ken, A cruel and scheming demon. Pamela said angrily, “Mr. Swanson! Regardless of whether she’s your female companion or not, it’s a fact that she hit me! You have to deal with this matter fairly!” Ken said casually, “Is there a possibility that you were beaten up because you deserve it?” 1/2 11:26 AM Chapter 217 “You…” Pamela choked. She gritted her teeth and said, “She was the one who caused trouble first. I didn’t do anything! Mr. Swanson, did she seduce you? Why are you biased towards her? She really broke my hand. If you don’t believe me, you can call the police and bring me to the hospital for a checkup.” She really did not understand why the men she admired would rather be close to this ugly woman than to her. Troy was also angry. Ignoring the fact that the other party was Ken, he said, “Mr. Swanson, since she’s your female companion, we can let her off the hook. However, we don’t want to see you being deceived by a woman! It’s true that she’s your female companion now, but just now, I saw her being very close to Zack. Is such a woman who’s good at pretending really worthy of being your female companion? You have to think carefully.” Troy did not care about anything else and slandered her. He wanted Ken to deal with her and force her into a dead end. If Ken did not know about Melody’s relationship with Zack, he might really misunderstand. Melody said impatiently and coldly, “Mr. Clark, you have to show evidence. I did attack to protect myself, but it was your daughter who attacked first. Besides, are you really sure that your daughter’s hand is broken?” “This…” Troy looked at Melody’s expression and could not help but hesitate. He thought, ‘Although this woman is ugly, she is powerless. With her strength, can she really easily break a person’s hand? Could it be that Pam has been acting? After all, this has happened before. If that was the case, things would be difficult. They had said several times that Pamela’s hand had been broken by Melody. Troy could not help but confirm with Pamela, “Pam, is your hand really broken? Tell me … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 217” »
Chapter 216 “Don’t forget that Zack already knows that you’re a country bumpkin and doesn’t want to talk to you anymore! If you know what’s good for you, kneel down and admit your mistake!” Troy was aggressive, and Zara’s heart was beating fast. Especially when she saw the fat man standing beside Troy, her face instantly turned pale. She tugged at Melody’s sleeve and said in a low voice, “Miss Fox, bad news. That man beside Mr. Clark… is famous for being lustful. He’s one of the higher–ups of Swanson Universal Entertainment. Many low–level celebrities have been harrassed by him.” “Don’t worry, I got it.” Melody gently pressed Zara’s hand and turned to meet Troy’s gaze. “Mr. Clark, let me walk you through this matter. It’s our fault for accidentally bumping into her. We’ve also apologized, but Miss Clark wouldn’t let go of this matter. Not only did she insult Zara, snatch her phone, and hit her face, but she also tried to hit me, the person who tried to persuade her. I was just defending myself.” Troy did not listen to Melody’s explanation at all. He said arrogantly, “Hit you? So what if she hit you? It’s an honor for a country bumpkin like you to be hit by my daughter!” “You…” Melody was about to speak when the man next to Troy said with a wretched smile, “Mr. Clark, don’t be angry. After all, she’s a shy girl. Shouldn’t you give her some face?” Troy glanced at Bobby Lawrence and saw that he was staring straight at Melody. Troy could not help but smile. It was rumored that Bobby had a fetish for ugliness. He did not expect it to be true. It seemed that he had called the right person. Troy smiled and asked, “Mr. Lawrence, are you interested in her?” The smile on Bobby’s face deepened. “Mr. Clark, if you don’t mind, can you hand her over to me and let me handle this matter?” “Of course. This is your place. You should be the one to deal with it.” Troy waved his hand and said, “Bring her to Mr. Lawrence!” At Troy’s order, a few bodyguards went forward to catch Melody. Melody wanted to struggle, but he was afraid that if he made a move, he would ruin Ken’s celebration party. She could only endure it and not move. She was forcefully dragged in front of Bobby. Bobby looked at Melody greedily. When he saw her long hair and thin waist, as well as her extremely ugly face, he felt that his appetite was even better. She was so ugly and had such a good figure. To him, she was simply a stunner. “Young lady, you have to apologize for your mistakes. Didn’t your teacher teach you? Listen to me and apologize to Miss Clark obediently. Nothing will happen to you. I promise.” Bobby smiled, making Melody feel nauseous. She endured her disgust and glared at Bobby coldly. “I’ve said it before. We’ve already apologized for bumping into her. As for me hitting her, it was just self–defense!” “Young lady, you’re quite stubborn. I like you!” He looked at Pamela and asked, “Miss Clark, you don’t mind her apologizing to you after I tame her, right?” Pamela was still in so much pain that she could not breathe. Now, she did not know if it was because Bobby’s appearance made her feel so happy that she could not even feel the pain in her arm. However, she did not think too much about it. She smiled and nodded. “I don’t mind. Thank you for helping me, Mr. Lawrence.” With that, Pamela’s lips curled into a smug smile. As long as a woman fell into Bobby’s hands, she would most likely be ruined. She thought, ‘Melody dared to break my hand. Now is the time for her to pay the price! Serves her right!‘ Bobby’s smile did not diminish. “There are too many people here. The young lady wants to save face, so it’s not easy to reprimand her here. Take her to the hotel room upstairs.” “Yes!” The bodyguards responded and dragged Melody to the elevator. Zara tried to stop them but was kicked aside by Troy. “Don’t be anxious. We’ll settle the score with you for bumping into my daughter!” Melody looked at Zara, who was clutching her stomach and lying on the ground. She could not take it anymore and was about to attack when a cold and deep voice sounded. “This place is even more lively than the front.” As soon as this voice sounded, everyone subconsciously turned around. A tall figure walked over against the light. Troy and Bobby immediately recognized the person as Ken. Bobby was the first to put on a flattering smile and explained fawningly, “Mr. Swanson, I didn’t expect such a small matter to alarm you. I’m really sorry, I’ll take the troublemaker away now.” 1/2 11:26 AM Chapter 216 Troy also hurriedly said, “Mr. Swanson, there’s a woman here who broke my daughter’s hand. Fortunately, Mr. Lawrence came forward to seek justice for us. This is my daughter, Pam. Pam. This is Mr. Swanson. Quickly greet him!” This was Pamela’s first time seeing Ken. She was a little stunned. Ken was dressed in a black suit today. His buttons were buttoned meticulously to the top. His abstinence and cold temperament instantly mesmerized her. She had only heard that Ken was a devil who did all kinds of evil and could even cripple his own brother. She did not know that Ken was so handsome. His well–defined face, deep black eyes, tall nose bridge, and cold lips were all in line with her aesthetic standards. She thought, ‘He is so handsome… He is a hundred times more handsome than the Zack that I have taken a fancy to at a glance!‘ “Pam? Pam!” It was not until Troy called her for the third time that she suddenly came back to her senses. She blushed and lowered her eyes in embarrassment. “Mr. Swanson, thank you for coming over to help me…” Ken’s gaze swept across the corridor and finally landed on Melody. When he saw that she was being subdued, his black eyes were instantly filled with frost. Bobby looked down and saw that Ken was looking straight at Melody. He thought that Ken had the same hobby as him. He could not help but smile and ask in a low voice, “Mr. Swanson is also interested in her? If so, I’ll let you have her first. I’ll take over when you’re tired of her.” Ken retracted his expression and patted Bobby’s shoulder with a faint smile. “Then I really have to thank you.” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 216” »
Chapter 215 Pamela laughed mischievously and said in an extremely contemptuous manner, “Melody, I’ve already given you a chance. Do you have to ask for trouble today?” The girl beside her reminded Melody mockingly, “Hey, ugly freak, you’ve probably watched too many television dramas, right? Do you know who you’re trying to be a hero in front of? Pam’s father is the biggest partner of Swanson Universal Entertainment. Many celebrities from Swanson Universal Entertainment have accepted their clothing advertisements. Her father is attending as a VIP guest tonight. I advise you not to better apologize to Pam and leave immediately if you don’t want to be kicked out!” Zara’s eyes flashed as she said to Melody gratefully, “Miss Fox, thank you, but I don’t want to cause you trouble. I accidentally bumped into Miss Clark. It’s all my fault. You don’t have to worry about me. Hurry up and leave…” She did not want to implicate Melody. Even if she knew that once Melody left, her outcome would definitely be tragic. Pamela was famous for being rude and unreasonable in the industry. A celebrity accidentally provoked Pamela last time and had no choice but to leave the industry because of serious depression. “Did you hear that?” Pamela raised her chin and grabbed Zara’s collar. She patted Zara’s face with her other hand and said, “At least you know your place!” As Pamela spoke, she looked at Melody and said, “This actress has admitted that it’s her fault. What can you say now? I’ll give you one last chance. Get lost before I beat you up too!” Melody narrowed her eyes coldly. “I’ll return these words to you. If you don’t let go of her, I’ll beat the both of you up together!” “Beat me?” Pamela gritted her teeth. Melody’s ungratefulness made her very angry. She thought, ‘What right does this country bumpkin have to speak to me like this?‘ “I must teach you a lesson on behalf of Mabel today!” Pamela was furious. She raised her hand to slap Melody. However, just as her hand was about to touch Melody’s face, Melody, who had been standing in front of her a second ago, suddenly disappeared and quickly dodged her slap. Pamela used too much strength and staggered forward. “Bitch!” Pamela’s eyes were red with anger. She clawed at Melody’s face. She thought, ‘In any case, she is ugly. If her face is scratched by me, it will be equivalent to having plastic surgery! However, this time, Melody did not dodge. She quickly grabbed Pamela’s wrist in midair. With a gentle turn of her hand, Pamela heard a crack as the bones were dislocated. For a moment, she felt her vision go dark and she almost fainted from the pain. Pamela cried out in pain. Then, she screamed, “Melody! You bitch!” However, before Pamela could react, Melody immediately pressed her to the ground with a swift grappling hand. “I was talking to you nicely, but you wouldn’t listen, right? Apologize to her now!” “In your dreams!” As soon as Pamela finished speaking, she felt Melody’s strength suddenly increase. She immediately could not move. “Apologize!” Melody ordered in a more serious tone. Pamela subconsciously wanted to break free from Melody’s grip, but just as she moved, a sharp pain came from her right arm again. She could not exert any strength at all. “You, you…” Pamela looked up at Melody in shock. “You broke my hand?” “Miss Clark, you’re really precious. I only used a little strength and your hand broke. I’m really sorry.” Melody’s lips curled into a smile. That smile was like a ghost from hell that sent chills down one’s spine. The girl beside Pamela was so frightened that her face turned pale. She picked up her skirt and ran. Melody glanced at the girl’s back and did not take it to heart. She bent down and said, “I’ve already apologized to you. What do you think should happen next?” Pamela was humiliated and terrified. Melody was too terrifying. Helpless, she could only grit her teeth and squeeze out three words. “I’m sorry…” 1/2 11:26 AM D Chapter 215 Only then did Melody let go of Pamela and turn to look at the stunned Zara. “Miss Wentworth, she has apologized. You can accept it or not, it’s up to you. Only then did Zara come back to her senses. She picked up her phone from the ground and said timidly, “Miss Fox, thank you so much for today. Let go of her quickly. She’s someone we can’t afford to offend. You’re just an assistant, and I… I’m just an actress. You should not offend her for me. I really don’t want to implicate you.” “Don’t worry, I promise. You and I will be fine.” Melody gently squeezed Zara’s hand, wanting her not to worry. Zara’s face was slightly red as she thanked her seriously, “Thank you so much, Miss Fox…” At this moment, Pamela, who did not have the strength to stand up, suddenly sneered and said, “Have you put on enough act of your friendship? My father is here. Let’s see how you clean up this mess! You will definitely regret your actions today!” Zara was shocked and quickly looked behind Melody. “It’s over…” She grabbed Melody’s hand nervously and said, “Mr. Clark is here. Miss Fox, hurry up and leave!” Melody shook her head. “It’s too late.” She turned around and saw the girl who had escaped just now walking over aggressively with Pamela’s father and a group of people. Pamela immediately changed her expression. She sat on the ground and cried in pain, “Dad! She broke my hand!” Pamela’s father, Troy Clark, thought that it was just a casual fight between girls. When he heard Pamela’s words, he was shocked. His entire face quickly darkened as he quickened his pace. The corners of Melody’s lips curled up. She walked over to Pamela in a few steps. As she helped her up, she secretly held Pamela’s hand. Pamela screamed again. She pushed Melody away and cried, “Dad! She wants to break my other hand!” At this moment, Troy finally brought a group of people to the three of them. “It’s you?” Troy recognized Melody, and a stunned expression flashed across his face. He frowned and looked away. He carefully helped Pamela up and asked, “What’s going on? Why are you arguing with Zack’s girlfriend? Didn’t I tell you not to contact them anymore?” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 215” »
Chapter 214 Melody reached out to pull Zack up from the ground. Zack subconsciously avoided Melody’s hand, but he saw that Melody’s palms were bleeding. Blood was slowly seeping out of her palm. The wound mixed with the sand and gravel on the ground looked very painful. Zack’s gaze froze for two seconds. He avoided Melody’s hand and stood up indifferently. He asked with an ugly expression, “Are you crazy?” Melody asked, “What?” “Don’t you know… Zack took a deep breath and continued, “You might have died with me just now? Is your life not as important as a job?” Melody was stunned. She suddenly realized that Zack was actually worried about her. She lowered her eyes and said, “I calculated the distance and speed. Nothing would happen to either of us.” *Calculated distance and speed? Who do you think you are? Are your eyes a speedometer?” Zack was furious. He did not care if he was hit, but he did not want anything to happen to others because of him, especially Melody, who approached him with a purpose. Moreover, what he hated the most was owing others favors. “I…” Melody bit her lower lip and apologized without any temper. “I’m sorry.” You’re really…” Zack searched his mind for a long time but could not find a suitable word to describe her. In the end, he said coldly, “Don’t think that you can achieve your goal by doing this. the Justalion Group of the Fox family is hopeless. It’s impossible for me to go there.” Melody asked in shock, “Do you think I’m trying to poach you to the Justalion Group?” Zack frowned and asked her back, “Isn’t that so?” “No,” Melody quickly said, “I’m not working for the Justalion Group. Can you give me half an hour? Just half an hour!” Zack looked at her with a complicated expression. In the end, he sighed and said, “I’ve never seen someone as difficult to deal with as you!” Melody was overjoyed. She knew that she had a chance. Sure enough, in the next second, Zack said coldly, “I have an urgent business trip today. Come to my company to look for me in a week.” She was overjoyed and almost jumped up. “Alright! I’ll look for you in a week!” Zack pouted. “Also, don’t harass my grandfather anymore since you don’t know medicine. If anything happens to him, you will not be able to repay me no matter what.” “I know medicine!” Melody explained, “I’m a doctor at Herbathrive. If you don’t believe me, you can go to Herbathrive to investigate. I did hide a lot of things from you and Ford, but I didn’t lie about treating him. If Ford doesn’t continue to receive my treatment, it will only be more troublesome if the back pain flares up again.” “Enough. I don’t want to listen to your nonsense anymore. You said it yourself. I only will give you half an hour. It’s my business whether I agree or not. I still have something on. Don’t follow me anymore!” After Zack finished speaking, he stopped looking at her and walked towards the parking lot opposite. Melody only looked away when she saw Zack’s car drive out of the parking lot and disappear into the traffic. She clenched her fists and cheered happily to herself. Then, she patted the dust off her body and returned to the venue through the side door with a smile. She could finish dealing with Wilmot’s matters in a week before looking for Zack. She felt lucky today, although she had almost been killed by a car. If she had calculated the time and distance wrongly, the outcome would have been extremely tragic. Fortunately, the result was good. She had to tell Ken the good news as soon as possible. However, after looking around, she did not see Ken at all. In addition, her phone was out of battery, so she could not contact Ken. Helpless, she could only go to the bathroom to wash her wound. However, when she reached the corridor leading to the bathroom, she saw Pamela scolding a girl. Melody took a closer look and realized the girl was Zara, who had asked her for Ken’s contact information with a red face. 1/2 11:26 AM Chapter 214 Pamela placed her hands on her hips and pointed at Zara’s nose as she cursed “Are you blind? How dare you splash red wine on me? Do you want to die? Don’t tell me you really think you can fly up the social ladder just because you won an award? Let me tell you, actors will always be actors You’re just tools and playthings for our investors. Do you believe that I can ban you with a word?” The girl beside Pamela chimed in, “Pam, why are you so angry with this kind of life? I bet she has slept with many sugar daddies to get that werd. I feel dirtied by being close to this kind of woman.” Pamela snorted. “That’s true. She was just an insignificant person, but she suddenly became famous. I don’t know how many tricks she used in bed People like you better tuck your tail between your legs. Otherwise, when the news gets out one day, you’ll suffer? Her friend said, “She’s not afraid of being exposed. At most, she’ll retire from the entertainment industry and become a mistress of some rich mant Each of their words was harsher than the last. Zara’s face was pale as she stared helplessly at her toes. She bit her lip and did not dare to retort. The girl beside Pamela suddenly snatched Zara’s phone away and said, “I wonder if you have any shocking photos stored in your phone? I’ll help you share them with your fans. Your fans must like to see them!” “Give me back my phone…” Zara was anxious and went forward to snatch the phone. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 214” »
Chapter 213 “Mr. Nelson!” Melody quickly caught up with Zack and stopped in front of him. “Mr. Nelson, can I have a few minutes of your time?” “No.” Zack walked around her expressionlessly. Melody persevered and followed behind Zack. As she walked, she said, “You should already know me. I’m indeed a headhunter. I’m really sorry for hiding my identity previously. I’m sorry. I hope you can forgive me this once.” Zack turned a deaf ear and walked straight to the chair with his name pasted on it and sat down. Melody was about to sit down when a middle–aged man holding a glass of champagne walked over with a pretty girl. Melody vaguely felt that the girl looked a little familiar. When the other party approached, her eyelids twitched fiercely. She thought, ‘Isn’t this Mabel’s friend, Pamela Clark?‘ Fortunately, Pamela did not notice her. She stared straight at Zack. The middle–aged man was the first to greet Zack. “Mr. Nelson, long time no see.” “Mr. Clark.” Zack nodded slightly in response. The man seemed to be used to Zack’s cold attitude. His smile deepened as he introduced the girl beside him. “This is my daughter, Pamela Clark. You’ve met her at the charity gala last time. Pam, haven’t you always wanted to see Mr. Nelson? Why don’t you greet him?” Pamela blushed and glared at her father. Then, she lowered her head and said shyly, “Hello, Mr. Nelson. My name is Pamela… We went to the same school. I’ve known you for a long time. Can I get your number?” “I’m sorry,” Zack suddenly glanced at Melody beside him and said apologetically, “My girlfriend is very strict and doesn’t allow me to give my number to other women.” Melody was stunned. She turned around and saw Pamela looking at her in shock. The shock quickly turned into hatred. The way Pamela looked at her was like a cold blade, wishing she could stare at her to death. Melody suddenly had a bad feeling. すえ After the man was surprised, he said awkwardly, “I didn’t know that Mr. Nelson already had a girlfriend. I’m really sorry. Pam, let’s go.” “I’m not leaving!” Pamela shook off her father’s hand and pointed at Melody’s nose. She asked Zack, “Zack, do you know who she is? She’s the Fox family’s daughter who was raised in the countryside! She’s not worthy of you at all!” “Raised in the countryside?” When Zack heard this, he looked at Melody in surprise. A layer of coldness immediately covered his eyes. He was also from a poor background and would not discriminate against people of the same background. However, Melody’s mistake was that she should not have used medicine to treat his grandfather without having any medical skills. He thought, ‘Grandpa actually believes her so much. He even mentioned Melody when I called him just now. He is really deceived by this woman! Zack’s expression turned even uglier. When Pamela saw Zack’s face darkened, she was secretly delighted. Then, she said even more brazenly, “Once she returned to Silverlake, she often bullied her sister. She even snatched her sister’s sweetheart and even hung out with some local hooligans. Zack, don’t be fooled by this woman’s sweet words!” Melody frowned deeply and warned coldly, “Miss Clark, you have to be responsible for your words. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sue you for defamation?” Pamela said, “I’m telling the truth. I’m not afraid of you suing me! Didn’t you slander Mabel for stealing the bracelet recently? You obviously stole that bracelet yourself!” “You…” Melody was about to defend herself when Zack suddenly stood up and said, “I didn’t expect you to be such a person. Let’s not contact each other anymore.” With that, Zack turned around and left, leaving her with a cold back view. Melody gritted her teeth. She knew very well that Zack did it on purpose. She turned to look at the smug Pamela and said coldly, “Do you like being used by others that much?” Pamela frowned. “What do you mean?” 1/2 11:26 AM Chapter 213 Melody did not say it explicitly. She only said leisurely, “How pitiful. You are clearly just her pawn, but you spared no effort to help her on all occasions. Mabel would probably find it funny if she knew, right?” Pamela recalled what happened at the cafe and felt a little uncomfortable. At that time, although Mabel had explained it to her, this grudge was still there. After Melody mentioned it, she was a little uncertain. However, Pamela’s brain could not think of a deeper level. As she hesitated, she thought that Melody was trying to change the topic. She scolded with a dark expression, “Don’t sow discord here! Let me tell you, you’re not worthy of Zack at all! If I see you pestering him again, don’t blame me for being rude!” After Pamela finished speaking, she looked like she could not be bothered with her anymore and turned to leave. Melody looked at Pamela’s slightly panicked back and pursed her lips. +5 Pamela clearly did not fully believe her words, but she only needed to plant a seed of doubt in Pamela’s heart. Sooner or later, this seed would take root and grow into a towering tree. She ignored Pamela and looked around. When she saw that Zack was about to leave, she quickly chased after him. What Pamela had said today had greatly affected Zack’s impression of Melody. If she did not explain clearly, she would not be able to poach Zack. However, there were too many people in the venue. She was squeezed by the crowd and finally caught up to Zack who was crossing the road outside. Zack was on the phone with someone. … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 213” »
Chapter 212 “Yes.” Maria nodded and said, “I was still worried that Ulric would not accept Melody. Now, it seems that I was overthinking. That kid has good taste. Melody has such a good personality and good medical skills. Whoever marries her will be honored. When I’m better, I’ll go to the Swanson family again and try to settle their marriage.” Hattie suddenly thought of Ulric’s legs and could not help but say, “But Mr. Swanson’s legs… I wonder if he will recover.” “Don’t worry. Melody will definitely think of a way. She can even pull me back from the brink of death, let alone treat Ulric’s legs.” Maria thought for a moment and urged Hattie to help her prepare the medicine. She smiled and said, “I have to recover quickly so that I can go to the Swanson family.” On the other side, Melody changed into a white dress, making her already slender waist look even more slender. The stylist kept praising, “Miss Fox, you can even be a supermodel.” Melody was still self–aware. She did not reply and only asked, “Is everything done?” “Yes.” The stylist nodded and asked hesitantly, “Are you sure you don’t need makeup?” Melody said, “There’s no need.” In her current situation, if she covered the red spots on her face with foundation and revealed her true appearance, it would cause a lot of trouble. There was no need to ruin her current plan for a moment of pride. In any case, she was attending a banquet that Ken was going to attend. He didn’t mind losing face, so she also didn’t mind. Not long after, Melody got into the van parked at the entrance. However, as soon as Melody got into the car, she was surprised to find that Ken was also sitting inside. “You’ve been waiting for me?” she asked in surprise. Ken did not even look up. His gaze landed on the tablet and he said emotionlessly, “Tonight’s banquet is a celebration party for Swanson Universal Entertainment. Many partners have been invited. Zack will also attend as his company’s representative.” Upon hearing Zack’s name, Melody’s eyelids twitched. She understood why Ken wanted to bring her along. This was a chance for her to poach Zack. She was worried that with her current status, she would not be able to enter Zack’s company. She did not expect Ken to help her. “Thank you…” Melody thanked him emotionally. Only then did Ken open his eyes and look at her. He saw Melody in a white haute couture dress like a humble white rose. The dress was not a famous luxury item. It was designed by an independent designer. Not many people knew about this brand, but the price was not cheaper than those big brands. It was undeniable that this brand of clothes was fresh and elegant. It was very suitable for Melody. Ken looked away and said expressionlessly, “I’m helping myself.” Melody choked. The gratitude in her heart dissipated after hearing that. The celebration banquet was held at the River Hotel under the Swanson Group. There was a long red carpet at the entrance. The media on both sides raised cameras that were like long guns and cannons and took photos of the people who entered. However, the van bypassed the main entrance and went straight into the underground garage. The two of them arrived at the banquet from the backstage. There were no reporters in the venue, but it was still very lively. The people who came were big shots and celebrities. Everyone was very dazzling. Even so, as soon as Ken entered the arena, he immediately became the most eye–catching one. In an instant, he was surrounded by a group of business men, and Melody was forcefully squeezed out. A person said, “Mr. Swanson, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you.” Another person said, “I hope that Mr. Swanson will continue to work with us in the next quarter.” 1/2 11:25 AM D Chapter 212 Someone else said, “Congratulations, Mr. Swanson. The artists under us won many awards again this year. They will definitely win more awards at the end of the year…” Everyone’s faces were filled with flattery. Ken talked to them one by one, but Melody clearly saw the indifference in his eyes. She was about to slip away to look for Zack when Ken suddenly said, “Let me introduce. This is my partner, Melody Fox.” Melody suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Ken in disbelief. Ken’s hand reached out to her. Everyone’s eyes fell on her. Their gaze instantly turned from curiosity to shock, and then from shock to horror. They seemed to wonder if this was a joke. Melody felt complicated feelings. She thought, ‘Ken did not want to bother with these people, so he deliberately turned everyone’s attention to me, right? I knew it! How can Ken be so kind as to spend 200 thousand dollars to specifically bring me to look for Zack?” She took a deep breath and smiled appropriately. After nodding at everyone, she introduced herself. “Hello, everyone. I’m Mr. Swanson’s assistant.” As soon as she said this, the suspicious gazes immediately dissipated. When they looked at her again, their gazes were much gentler. There were even people who took the initiative to hand over their business cards enthusiastically. Melody took them one by one. When she turned around, Ken had already disappeared. She thought, ‘This guy… was indeed using me as a distraction. After Ken left, this group of people became even more enthusiastic. Melody felt that it was not easy to earn 200 thousand dollars, but she could only brace herself to deal with it. When everyone finally dispersed, she was about to look for Zack when the popular female star, Zara Wentworth, who had just won an international award, blocked her way. Without any explanation, she stuffed a diamond bracelet into Melody’s hand and asked her quietly with red cheeks, “Miss Fox, I wonder if Ken is single now?” Melody said, “Sort of… yes.” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 212” »
Chapter 211 Seeing that Russell and Mable’s relationship had eased so easily, Yolanda was secretly pleased. She echoed, “Mabel learns all kinds of subjects. There will always be some subjects that she can’t master. I will supervise her. Don’t you still have a meeting at your company? Don’t waste time here.” Russell raised his wrist to look at the time and said, “Then I’ll go to the office for a meeting. I might be back late.” Yolanda eagerly helped him get his coat and watched Russell leave. As soon as Russell left, Yolanda stopped smiling and looked at Melody coldly. “You’re quite lucky, but don’t think that you can get Miss Hanson’s favor just like that.” Melody said expressionlessly, “Are you done, Yolanda? I’m going to see Grandma.” Yolanda’s lips twitched. “That’s true. Only Maria cares about you the most here. You need to visit her more often. However… do you really think that victory is in Wilmot’s hands?” Melody raised her eyelids and said with a faint smile, “I didn’t expect you to be so worried about me. I will definitely work hard to find the mastermind behind this! I believe Yolanda will also want to know who is behind this, right?” Yolanda’s expression froze. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand!” Melody patted Yolanda’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “The heavens are watching. There are no secrets in this world.” Yolanda’s face darkened, but she quickly revealed a mocking smile. “You’re indeed a smart person, but so what? I only need a phone call to make one of your supporters collapse. What about you? Speaking of which… Wilmot can allow you to mess around to sign the bet agreement. Looks like he’s really stupid to believe a fool like you! But it’s too late for you to regret now. The bet has already begun. Let’s see what you’ll do in a week!” Melody clapped her hands. “Yolanda, you have surely impressed an idiot like me! However, it’s still uncertain if my backer will fall. Why don’t we wait and see?” Yolanda snorted and said, “Then we’ll see! You’ll know the price of the bet very soon!” Melody raised her eyebrows. She did not waste any more time with Yolanda and walked towards the backyard. Yolanda gritted her teeth as she looked at Melody’s back. She thought, ‘Just you wait! Once Wilmot falls and Maria dies, let’s see if you can still be so arrogant!‘ Thinking about Maria, Yolanda immediately remembered about the poison. After instructing Mabel to go out for the dance class, she quickly restrained her expression and went upstairs to get the black market’s pass. Then, she took a taxi and left. As soon as Yolanda went out, Melody received a report from James. “Yolanda is out. Do you need me to follow her?” The corners of Melody’s lips curled up. She could guess why Yolanda went out. She said calmly, “Don’t let anyone follow her. It wasn’t easy for the fish to take the bait. Don’t scare it away.” When James heard this, he recalled the black market stall owner he had seen at the cafe last time and instantly understood what Melody meant. He held his phone tightly and said, “Miss Fox, I have to remind you that you’re also breaking the black market’s rules, so I hope you can tell Mr. Ken about this yourself.” At the mention of Ken, Melody couldn’t bring herself to laugh. She hummed coldly and called Ken after hanging up. At Serenity Villa, Susan was asking Ken, “Mr. Ken, what do you want to eat for dinner? I’m going out to buy groceries now.” Ken looked up from the document. “Isn’t there oatmeal left over from lunch? Heat it up. I’ll eat that tonight.” Susan looked surprised. She thought, ‘Did something happen to Mr. Ken’s career? Since when did he need to eat leftovers for dinner?‘ However, she did not dare to ask further. After agreeing, she went to heat up the oatmeal. The next second, Melody called Ken. Ever since Melody left, Ken had felt that something was wrong with Melody, but he could not tell what exactly 11:25 AM D Chapter 211 was wrong. Now that Melody called, he immediately put down the document and answered the call. “Hello?” His voice was calm and emotionless. Melody did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. Then, she asked, “Will I break the black market’s rules?” After Ken heard this, he said casually, “The offline black market is not important. Just don’t burn it down.” On the other end of the line, Melody was stunned. She did not expect Ken to agree so readily. Ken did not hear Melody’s reply. He held his phone tightly and asked, “What? Are you really going to set fire to it?” “No, no…” Melody quickly said, “That’s not what I meant. Thank you.” In the next second, the two of them spoke almost at the same time. Ken asked, “Are you free tonight?” Melody said, “I got to go.” Melody paused and asked, “What do you need tonight?” Ken said. “There’s a dinner party that I need to bring a female companion to.” Melody subconsciously asked, “Doesn’t Miss Murphy have time?” After she said this, Ken was silent for two seconds before he said, “She has just returned to the country and is not used to the environment. She will stay at home to rest during recently.” … Read More “Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker CHAPTER 211” »
