Chapter 242
The first thing she saw when she opened the email was the words “St. Martin’s High–end Costume Design Training College.
At first, Melody thought that James had sent the wrong email. After patiently reading it, she realized that the fashion design company Troy went to was the partner of this academy.
Designers who graduated from St. Martin’s College had to come to this college for an internship for a month. Only by passing the internship could they obtain the designer certificate St. Martin’s College issued.
St. Martin’s College’s influence in Silverlake was not small. Many designers in the fashion design industry studied at this college.
Both the Justalion Group and the Clark
Clark Group lad
sad designers who graduated there.
But what was Troy doing here? Was he only trying to recruit people from this company? Melody wondered. ‘However, if it was just recruitment, Troy’s smile when he came out of this company could not be so confident, as if he had something on me.’
Melody also searched for St. Martin’s College on the Internet and was surprised to find that Pamela and Mabel were both graduates of St. Martin’s College
the connection? Melody thought for a moment but could not find an answer now.
She looked at the time. There were still nearly three hours before midnight. She had not slept well last night, so she lay down to catch up on her sleep.
Not long after, the alarm clock rang
Melody was a light sleeper. She opened her eyes immediately, put on her clothes, and went out.
Going out now would attract attention, so Melody directly climbed over the wall from the backyard
She had taken the time to work out recently, and her stamina improved. Although she was weaker than in her previous life, climbing a wall of six feet was a piece of cake for her.
With little effort, she flipped over and took a taxi to the customs warehouse wearing a mask.
On the way, she deliberately did not contact the person on the forum first. Instead, she quietly walked around the customs warehouse. After confirming that there was no danger, she contacted the person.
“Hello?” The hoarse voice of a middle–aged man came from the other end. It was obvious that the other party was an old urnoker.
“It’s me. The guy who posted the bounty on the black market, Melody said.
“Oh…” The other party dragged out his words and said, Tm at a nearby hotel. You can wait for me at the entrance of the warehouse. The person on duty is my man. Tell him you’re looking for me, and he’ll bring you in. Oh right, my last name is Lawrence, Just tell him so, and I’ll be right there”
After that, a woman’s charming voice came from the other end. “Ben, who’s looking for you in the middle of the night”
“Business…” The person on the other end of the line hung up
Melody beard the woman’s
woman’s words.
She couldn’t help but ponder, His last name is Lawrence And Ben!
A name immediately appeared in her mind, Benny Lawrence!
The device I want to buy is from Benny, the brother of Bobby whom I had offended? At this moment, Melody did not know if she should be happy or worried.
However, she could not successfully develop a new product in seven days if she didn’t have the equipment
After thinking about it, Melody gritted her teeth and walked toward the warehouse resolutely.
I can only pray that Benny does not know I’m the one who caused Bobby’s imprisonment. With this thought in mind, she had already arrived at the warehouse’s entrance.
There were two people in white uniforms guarding the door. When they saw her coming, they immediately went forward and warned. “Customs warehouse. No one is allowed to approach”
Melody smiled and said, “I’m Mr. Lawrence’s guest”
When the two of them heard this, they immediately smiled. “So you’re Ben’s guest. Please come in. I’ll take you to the reception room inside”

Melody modded and silently followed one of them into the warehouse.
There were guards everywhere in the warehouse, but everyone was continued to play with their phones.
was very sloppy When they saw her coming, they didn’t even look up
and
“Miss, this way please. The other party pointed to a frosted door and introduced, “This is the reception room. Wait for Ben here. He should be here
“Okay” Melody nodded and entered the living room.
Not long after Melody sat down, she heard a voice coming from outside. “Ben, you’re here? The guests are already here”
“Yeah, the voice on the phone said.
The next second, a middle–aged man with a big belly entered the room.
Melody recognized this person at a glance. It was indeed Benny. He looked 70% to 80% similar to Bobby. Even the skin on their faces was the same. They had dense pimples.
doctor, the knew at a glance that this was acne caused by long–term indulgence, coupled with lack of sleep, drinking, and smoking.
“Hello, Mr. Lawrence Melody stood up and greeted him without batting an eyelid. “I’m here to buy the instrument I want.”
Benny sat on the sofa and gestured for his subordinates to make coffee for her before getting down to business. “I do have this instrument here, but the price.. I wonder how much you can accept.”
Melody said calmly, “Nare your price. The market price of this instrument is about 50 to 100 thousand dollars…”
“How about this!” Benny flicked his cigarette ash and said, “Thisds our first time doing business, so let’s treat it as making friends. Just 30 thousand dollars will do!”
Melody’s expression did not change, but she instantly understood.
“The market price of this instrument is about 240 thousand dollars, but he is willing to sell it to me at 80 thousand dollars. He must know nothing about it, or it’s not something he obtained illegally and was in a hurry to sell. But whatever the reason is, it’s a good thing for me Melody pretended to be grateful and stood up. “Thank you, Mr. Lawrence.”
“You’re welcome. Someone, bring over the instrument that this lady wants,” Benny said..
The instrument arrived very quickly. They did not even open the packaging.
Melody paid and was about to leave with the instrument when she suddenly remembered that the herbs she needed were also detained there. She said. “Since Mr. Lawrence is so straightforward, I want to do another business with you.”
Benny was greedy: Hearing this, his smile deepened. “Sure, what else do you need! I’ll sell them to you as long as I have them here! And the price will be low.”
“It’s not an instrument.” Melody paused and said, “I need a berb. I was going to buy it, but I heard the sale of this herb is not allowed in the country. It got demained
Benny recalled that he had detained a batch of herbs a few days ago and asked, “What herbs do you need?”
“Uvigrass” Melody reported the name of the herb.
Benny glanced over and his subordinate immediately said, I’ll look for it now.”
Benny raised the cup in his hand. “Please have some coffee. I’ll get it for you soon.
Melody nodded and took a symbolic sip of coffee. She did not swallow it and smiled. “Good coffee!”
‘Benny didn’t seem to know about my relationship with Bobby, but I must be wary of others, Melody thought.
Benny said, “Miss, you have good taste! I only make this coffee when guests come. It’s made of fine coffee beans,”
Melody was about to speak when someone came in to report. “Ben, someone called Barclay Lawrence said he wanted to buy something from you Should we let him in
“Let him in! He’s my nephew–in–law!” said Benny.
Melody’s eyelicis ownched. ‘Barclay is Benny’s nephew–in–law! That guy wanted to violate me in the Swanson family’s residence, but I beat him up and sent him to the hospital. Now that he is here, won’t my identity be exposed!
Melody’s heartbeat sped up uncontrollably. A bad feeling arose in her heart.
