Chapter 184
As Cadence’s car drove away, Melody nied the pit bull to a tree. Squatting down, she instructed the dog and said. “Stay here, I’ll be back to get you!
She patted the dog’s head and walked towards the backyard,
It wasn’t that Melody didn’t want revenge and to take Cadence’s life directly
A mad dog, biting its own owner. How could a weak and defenceless woman like her stop it?
No one could blame Melody.
However, knowing Cadence’s feelings for Ulric, she realized Cadence still had some use to her.
Otherwise, she could have simply let the pit bull kill Cadence.
ot at fault. It just hadn’t met a good owner. But now it had.
As for the dog, it was just an animal incapable of independent thought. The dog wasn’t at
Melody quickened her pace towards the backyard.
as she was about to reach it, she saw Ken walking towards the back door.
Just as
Seeing her, his cold eyes softened slightly, but then he frowned and asked, “Why are you wandering around?”
Melody said. 1.
Before Melody could explain. Ken noticed something was off.
He grabbed her and clearly saw the abrasions on her body.
These were injuries from being knocked down by the pit bull. Although she wasn’t bitten, she had many scrapes and bruises, especially near the hack of her neck, which will hurt.
“What happened?” Ken’s eyes turned icy.
“I” Melody hesitated, unsure if she should tell Ken about Cadence.
Since Cadence arrived, Ken hadn’t been particularly cold to her, indicating they had some connection
Melody never considered herself important enough to Ken to be placed above Cadence.
elody was still hesitant. Then she heard Ken speak in a cold voice, “What did Cadence do to you?”
However, Melody was
Melody looked at Ken in surprise, seeing his furrowed brows and unusually cold expression.
She stared at Ken in astonishment, unable to avoid his gaze as she reluctantly spilled the whole incident about the pit bull.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ken’s expression grew colder again.
Ken said, “You knew she didn’t like you, yet you followed her? What were you thinking? Are you out of your mind? You’re usually so clever, but now you’re acting like a fool”
Tm not a fool…” She instinctively retorted, but her voice trailed off weakly. “I was prepared for it mentally, but I never thought she’d actually bring a dog with her.”
Ken’s sharply defined face grew even colder. “That just proves how foolish you are!”
“Melody was annoyed now, her cheeks putting our
He glanced at her coldly, then grabbed her collar and started walking towards the back door.
“Where are you taking me? Melody had no choice but to follow Ken
Ken said. “To tend to your wound?”
Melody said. “Hut what about Margaret?” | |
Ken said, “Look at you now. Do you want to make her worry
try about you? She’s just recovering from a serious illness”
Melody pouted, saying “You JUST don’t want to ruin Cadence’s image in everyone’s minds, do you?“

Chapter 181
Ken paused, his gaze turning to her sharply. “What did you say?”
“Nothing…” Melody’s defiance waned.
To the Swanson family, she was more of an outsider compared to Cadence. Naturally, Ken would be biased towards Cadence, even if her father was Wendell.
She had nothing to complain about it was human nature,
But then Ken said wearily, “Ill warm her. But she’s usually kind to Margaret, so I’m afraid I can’t do much to her. But I will help you teach her a lesson.
Melody was surprised. “You’re going to help me teach her a lesson?”
Ken didn’t answer, releasing his grip on her collar and saying, “Follow me!”
Melody looked at Ken with mixed feelings. She couldn’t understand what he was thinking
Weren’t they here today to discuss divorcel
Why didn’t he mention
tit at all, and now he was leaving without even saying goodbye to Margareth
After a short pause, Melody decided to follow him.
Anyway, her current appearance wasn’t suitable for meeting Margaret.
Margaret would worry about her, and it involved Cadence. Margaret would be even more worried.
Soon. Ken and Melody left the estate.
After more than half an hour, the car stopped at a lakeside villa.
She knew this place, it was called Serenity Villa, with frightfully high house prices
The car stopped in front of the lakeside villa in the center of Serenity Villa.
Melody followed Ken into the villa.
Ken rang the doorbell, and a middle–aged woman with a kind look opened the door.
Seeing Ken, she was surprised for a moment and said hastily, “Sar, I thought you wouldn’t be back for dinner, so I didn’t prepare anything
Before she finished speaking, the middle–aged woman saw Melody behind Ken, her expression even more surprised, but she didn’t say anything.
“We’ve already eaten,” Ken said, introducing simply. “This is Susan, who takes care of things when I’m here. This is Melody
Susan hurriedly said, “Miss Fox, nice to meet you!”
Her surprise didn’t diminish.
“Nice to meet you. Melody nodded in greeting.
“Go upstairs,” Ken said, taking the lead to walk inside.
Melody hurried to follow, glancing around the villa as she walked.
Fox
The villa had a simple modern design with a living room ceiling height of 20 feet. It had everything one would expect, yet it seemed to lack something.
Melody thought carefully and realized what was i
was missing, vitality,
Unlike a bore, it felt more like a hotel.
As they walked up the stairs, she subconsciously looked down and saw Susan waving friendly at her.
She nodded again and withdrew her gaze to follow Ken
The two entered a suite on the second floor.
As soon as they entered, Ken walked into the bedroom.

“Come in
Should she go in?
Melody hesitated for a moment, then stepped in.
As soon as she entered the bedroom, she smelled a man’s scent, accompanied by a pleasant scent that Ken often had.
She
Ken sitting on the edge of the bed, with a white medical kit beside him, motioning for her to come over.
She didn’t want to sit on a man’s bed, but Ken looked so natural that if she hesitated, she would seem affected
Thinking like this. Melody walked over and sat down boldly
The next moment, she heard Ken say, “Take off your clothes
Melody’s back stiffened. Take off my clothes?”
Ken glanced at her with a half smile. “What haven’t I seen of yours?”
Melody’s cheeks instantly turned red.
They had just met, and they had already seen each other naked….
But the circumstances were different then.
Melody tried to stay calm and said seriously, “I don’t think I’m injured enough to need your help, so please give me the medicine and I’ll take care of it myself.”
