Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 101, 102, 103, 104 & 105)    

Chapter 101

Hearing Melody’s words, Russell was satisfied and his heart was completely at ease.

He said. “I knew it. You’re my daughter. Why would you blame me? However, I was indeed wrong in this matter. Let’s not mention it again in the future and pretend that nothing happened!”

Melody sneered in her heart, but she smiled and nodded.

The father and daughter looked intimate and happy. When Yolanda heard Melody’s words, she gritted her teeth in hatred. thinking. Why did this little bitch mention that dead person out of the blue? Wasn’t she deliberately trying to annoy me? Wasn’t she telling me that everything in this family was built by Wilona and had nothing to do with me? But I’m the current hostess of this family!”

However, Russell’s heart was now biased toward Melody, who saved Margaret’s life. If Yolanda went against Melody now, it would be going against Russell.

Yolanda was not stupid. She did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, she walked forward with a guilty expression and bowed to Melody before saying. “Melody! I’m sorry! At first, I thought that you didn’t know medicine and that your father had worked hard to earn everything the Fox family had, so I was anxious and thought you would destroy the Fox family. It’s right that you don’t blame your father. Just blame me for everything. I’m willing to atone for my sins. I’m okay with it even if you hit or scold me.”

As Yolanda spoke, two drops of tears fell at the right time.

When Russell heard Yolanda had treated Melody in such a humble way, he was immediately dissatisfied.

In his heart, being respectful to the elders was important.

Even if Yolanda did something wrong, Melody could not hit or scold her.

He instantly stopped blaming Yolanda because of her words. Instead, he frowned and instructed Melody, “Yolanda already knows her mistake. This matter is over. We’re still family in the future. You can’t blame her, understand?”

Melody was furious as she thought, ‘Good for you, Yolanda! You made Dad completely forget what you had done wrong with your glib tongue. Impressive, truly impressive!”

However, Melody wondered if Russell would forgive Yolanda just because of a few words of Yolanda’s if he knew that Yolanda had been drugging Maria.

It seemed that she could not expose Yolanda’s evil deeds now. She needed to make Russell hate Yolanda bit by bit. Then, she would give him this blow to make him give up on Yolanda completely.

Melody calculated in her heart, but her mouth did not stay idle. She said gently. “Dad, I don’t need you to tell me this. Yolanda is my stepmother now and was my mother’s best friend when she was alive. No matter what she did to me, I won’t blame her.

Russell’s expression turned a little awkward when he heard that That was true. Yolanda was not Melody’s biological mother, but he had asked Melody to treat Yolanda with tolerance like Yolanda was her biological mother.

This is indeed a little too much. It’s better to take it slow. After all, Melody is still young and has not grown up by Yolanda’s side. It’s normal for the two of them to be very distant. With that thought in mind, Russell coughed dryly. He was too embarrassed to mention asking Melody to forgive Yolanda. He said, “You’ve just been discharged from the hospital and are in poor health. Go back to your room and rest well first. I’ll help you build an account. In the future, you’ll have the right to distribute your allowance.”

Melody nodded sensibly.

She thought of Zack and said, “Dad, I don’t want to spend the family’s money for nothing. I also want to do something for the family

Yolanda’s eyes instantly narrowed. ‘Is she trying to enter the Justalion Group?

She would never allow it!

Seeing Russell was about to say something. Yolanda quickly said, “Melody, your father and I are happy to know you have this intention. However, you’re new here. You’re not familiar with Silverlake, let alone suddenly going to work. However, why don’t you go to your father’s headhunting company first if you want to work? This company has a bright future and pays you according to your work. If you can poach someone, you’ll get a huge commission.

Melody sneered in her heart. “Yolanda said this because she was worried I would snatch back the Justalion Group that Mother had founded. I didn’t get the Justalion Group back in my previous life. It was because I only focused on Ulric. However, I will get it back in this life. But not now, I have a lot of things to do now. I’m not in a hurry to get the Justalion Group back.

However, the Justalion Group must be mine. Even if Yolanda wants to stop me, she can’t.
After Yolanda finished speaking, Russell, who had originally planned to let Melody work at the Justalion Group, hesitated.

The Justalion Group made high–end clothing customizations. Russell was worried Melody’s face would affect the Justalion Group’s brand image.

At the thought of this, Russell followed Yolanda’s words and said “Yolanda is right. My headhunting company is a good place to train people. After you learn all kinds of rules, I will arrange for you to join the Justalion Group. How about that?

Melody pretended to be ignorant and nodded. “Alright, as long as it’s Dad’s arrangement, it must be for my good. I’ll go to the headhunting company to train myself.”

When Russell heard this, he was instantly satisfied. He also felt Melody was easy to manipulate, so he immediately called the headhunting company.

After the call, he smiled and said to Melody, I’ve already informed them. If you go over there, you can directly enter the upper echelons. It won’t lire you out. At the same time, it can train you

“Thank you, Dad, Melody said. She pretended to have a headache and pressed her temples. “Dad, I feel a little dizzy. I’ll go, back and rest first.

“Alright, alright. Go quickly. Get well before you go to work,” said Russell.

“Okay, Dad, Melody nodded slightly and made her way precariously to the backyard shed.

Now that the matter was settled, she had to go and see her grandmother quickly.

After Melody left, Russell relaxed a lot.

Just as he was about to continue eating fruits, he heard Yolanda say in a low voice, “Russell, there’s something I don’t know if I should say…”

Russell was in a good mood because he felt Melody was easy to manipulate. He said, “We’re husband and wife. You can say anything you want. Just say it.”

Yolanda said, “Melody had lived in the farming family we arranged for her since she was young. I know that family. They’re all farmers and don’t know any medical skills. Where do you think she learned her medical skills? I keep feeling that this matter is a little strange. Why don’t… you ask her?”

The people Yolanda sent to the countryside to investigate could not find anything. If she went to ask Melody, she would not get an answer. She might as well let Russell go. She guessed that Melody would not hide it from her biological father. However, when Russell heard this, he waved his hand and refused. “What’s there to ask? It’s fine as long as you know that she knows medicine. The process isn’t important. If you have the time, why don’t you think about how to nurture Mabel? This year’s top socialite evaluation in Silverlake is about to begin. You can’t slack off, understand?”

Chapter 102

Although the top socialite competition was only in Silverlake, once Mabel became the top socialite, it would add more glory to her.

Although Mabel had become the top socialite last year, if she wanted to marry into the Swanson family now, she needed to be the top socialite this year, which was more important than last year.

Once his daughter could marry into the Swanson family, Russell wouldn’t have to worry about the Justalion Group continuing to decline.

As for Melody, it did not matter who she learned her medical skills from or how she learned them. It was fine as long as the results were good.

It was just like he did not care about Melody’s feelings. He only needed to know that Melody could bring him benefits.

When Yolanda heard Russell’s words, she understood in her heart that Russell was a person who prioritized benefits. As long as Melody could benefit him, he did not care about anything else.

However, even if Russell did not care, she did. She felt that Melody’s ability might not be limited to medical skills.

They said that one who knew his strength and that of the enemy was invincible in battle. Yolanda knew nothing about Melody, and she could not chase Melody away for the time being. It was very disadvantageous to her!

However, Russell was right about one thing. The most important thing now was still Mabel.

As long as Mabel could become the top socialite this year, the possibility of her marrying into the Swanson family would be even higher.

Yolanda smiled perfunctorily, indicating that she would pick Mabel up from school. She stopped serving and currying favor with Russell and found an excuse to leave.

The Fox family used to appear warm and comfortable to her. After Melody returned, she felt suffocated whenever she was at home. She might as well go out for some fresh air and find the underground market she often went to buy some ‘medicine” for Maria.

Maria was Melody’s most stable backer in the Fox family. Yolanda had to let this backer collapse as soon as possible before she could find an opportunity to chase Melody out of the house.

‘However, it’s a pity that Margaret wasn’t dead from Melody’s treatment. Otherwise, I won’t have to spend so much effort, Yolanda thought hatefully.

At the same time, in the backyard. Melody did not return to her room, Instead, she walked straight to Maria’s room.

Coincidentally, she saw Hattie walking out with a tray of water. She hurriedly went forward to greet her, “Hattie!”

Hattie had just been immersed in the sadness of Maria’s worsening illness. Only when she heard the sound did Hattie notice that Melody had returned from the hospital.

Looking at Melody again, Hattie felt even more guilty. Her eyes could not help but turn red as she said, “Miss Melody, I…” Hattie choked on her words for a long time.

It was not because she felt awkward, nor was it because she was afraid that Melody would blame her, but because she felt too guilty.

When Melody saw this she thought Maria was extremely ill and hurriedly asked, “Hattie, is Grandma’s health worse again? At the mention of Maria, Hattie couldn’t care less about her matters. With reddened eyes, she said, “That’s right…. Mrs. Maria’s health improved a few days ago. She even had the strength to attend the Swanson family’s birthday party. But ever since she came back from the birthday party, her health has been deteriorating day by day. She can’t even take care of herself now.”

Melody looked down and saw what was in the water.

There were a few towels inside, covered in the filth of excretion.

Hatte noticed Melody’s gaze and subconsciously hid the basins behind her. She said apologetically. “Tm sorry, Miss Melody I didn’t notice… I shouldn’t have shown you such a dirty thing.”

However, Melody reached out and took the basin into her hand the next moment. Without frowning, she took out a dirty towel and examined it.

Hattie felt that this thing was dirty, but not only did Melody not mind, she even studied it carefully

She asked in shock, “Miss Melody, what are you doing?”

Melody did not answer and only focused on checking.

As a doctor, she could not be afraid of dirty things.

Sometimes, the things that patients discharged were the answer to what was wrong with their bodies. This was also why sometimes the doctor had to check the patients‘ urine and feces when they went to the hospital for a checkup.

After examining it, Melody leaned closer and sniffed it…

This action made Hattie’s eyes widen. Has Miss Melody lost her mind from the fever? I can’t believe she sniffed it….

Just as Hattie could not stand it anymore and wanted to stop her she saw Melody put the towel back in the basin and say. “Grandma’s condition has become serious. Is she awake now? Il check her pulse.”

Only then did Hattie realize that Melody was helping Maria diagnose her illness.

Even Russell, who claimed to be a filial son, could not do such a thing. It could be seen how much Melody cared about Maria

“Maria can be saved! Hattie thought happily.

If it were in the past, Hartie would not believe Melody could see anything from the excrement. But now, Hattie looked at Melody as if she had seen her savior and hurriedly replied, “Mrs. Maria is awake now. Her clothes got dirty just now, and I have just changed her clothes. Please go and take a look. Please…
“Don’t worry. I’ll cure Grandma,” said Melody.

Her grandmother was the only person she cared about in the Fox family. She would never watch Maria die helplessly like in her previous life. Since she had the chance to live again, she wanted to change the lives of everyone she cared about.

Melody did not hesitate and walked in. As soon as she entered, she smelled a foul stench.

A maid opened the window to ventilate, while another lit incense to make the smell disappear.

Meanwhile, Maria was leaning against the head of the bed with a dull expression. She had lost the vitality she had a few days ago, looking listless and haggard. It was as if she had lost all hope of survival. Sickness not only took away her health but also her dignity. Melody could not help but feel a lump in her throat, but she smiled brightly and called out affectionately, “Grandma…”

When Maria turned around and saw Melody, she finally looked happy.

“Melody, are you feeling better?” Maria asked.

Melody hurriedly nodded and walked forward to sit by the bed. As if she could not smell the stench in the room, Melody smiled and said, “I just have a small fever, I wanted to leave the hospital yesterday, but the doctor told me to keep me under observation for one more day, so I just came back now,”

She told Maria everything about her being hospitalized for two days and deliberately made Maria laugh occasionally. The despair on Maria’s face finally subsided a little.

“Oh, my Melody.” Maria tapped the tip of Melody’s nose and said “You’re so quick-witted”

Melody stuck out her tongue and made an ugly face, causing Maria to cover her mouth and laugh.

After Maria’s mood had completely improved, Melody said, “Grandma, I know you’ve been feeling very uncomfortable these past few days. If you’re willing to believe me, can you let me treat you?”

She had been holding back these words for a long time.

She had wanted to say it on the first day she returned to the Fox family

But at that time, no one would take her words seriously even if she said that,

However, it was different now. Everyone in the Fox family knew that she did have medical skills.

This was the most important reason for her trying hard to cure Margaret. It was all for Maria.

Chapter 103

As soon as Melody said this, the smile on Maria’s face faded a little.

Maria sighed. “My illness is different from Margaret’s. She’s sick, but I’m… old.”

Maria had accepted her fate. She was considered to be a macrobian to have lived to this age. If she passed away just like that, other than worrying about Melody, she had nothing else to worry about.

Melody frowned and said. “Who said you’re old? I was counting on you to live to two hundred years old!”

Maria couldn’t help but laugh. “Silly girl, how can anyone live to two hundred years old? Wouldn’t they become an old monster? I’ll despise myself even if you don’t despise me then.”

“Hey, Grandma… Melody became serious and said. The truth is, I’ve already diagnosed you. You’re not old. You’re just sick.”

Maria was stunned for a moment. Then, she asked. “Then what illness am I suffering from?”

“This is diarrhea from panic. It’s a type of convulsion that hurts the liver and spleen. If I can fix your liver and spleen, you’ll be all right in less than a month. Melody explained to Maria in as accessible a way as possible.

However, Maria was still confused when she heard that. She only understood that she would recover in less than a month.

There was finally some hope in her eyes. “You mean… as long as you treat me, I’ll recover in a month?”

Melody smiled and said, “Yes, a month. I promise that as long as you cooperate with my treatment, you can travel with Margaret in a month”

These words surprised Maria.

She thought she had reached the age to die, so she had become like this. She did not expect to be sick only.

If she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have avoided medical treatment like Margaret. She should have gone to the hospital earlier to be treated. Perhaps she would have been cured soon if she did so.

What Maria did not know at that time was that Melody’s words were deliberately light. She did not even tell Maria that there was more than one illness in her body. The poison in her body was the biggest problem affecting her health.

However, before the evidence was gathered, she would not tell Maria, lest she alert the enemy.

Because if Maria knew the truth now, she might directly settle scores with Yolanda.

There was another reason. Before this. Melody had already noticed that Yolanda had specially planted spies in the house.

The one who lit the incense just now was the one…

Melody was observant and had long noticed something was wrong with the maid, but she had been holding it in because it was not time yet.

Melody pondered in her heart and coquettishly asked Maria to operate on her treatment.

Maria was silent for a while before she said, “Since it’s just an illness, I won’t trouble you. I’ll go to the hospital for the treatment.

Melody was stunned. ‘Grandma, do you still not believe in my medical skills?”

She thought that her grandmother would believe her when it came to medicine at such a time.

Maria sighed and said. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, but… I don’t want what happened in the past two days to repeat itself” When Melody heard this, she instantly understood.

It was not that her grandma did not believe Melody, but she was afraid that if anything went wrong, Russell would beat and scold Melody as he did a few days ago. He might lock her up again or chase her out of the Fox family.

Maria would rather be hospitalized than be treated by her. In the end, it was all for Melody’s good.

Melody’s heart melted.

She held back her tears and said, “Grandma, thank you…. but I still hope that you can agree to let me treat you. Firstly, you’ll be more comfortable if I treat you at home. After all, the hospital isn’t home. Secondly, no doctor would want you to be cured more than I do. I can’t say that my medical skills are the best in the world, but I can

n guarantee that no doctor will treat you more diligently than I do.”

Coincidentally, Hattie had returned. When she heard their conversation, she begged Maria to let Melody treat her.

Maria could not dissuade Melody and Hattie in the end and finally nodded in agreement. “Fine, then you’ll treat me. But don’t worry. I’ll make it clear to your father that no matter what happens at last, he can’t blame you.”

“Thank you, Grandma. I can guarantee that the outcome will be good.” With that, Melody immediately began to think of all prescriptions and openly used the excuse of treating Maria to cut off the ‘poison” that Yolanda had given Maria.

“Mrs. Maria.” The maid who had lit the incense stepped forward and said, “The house is running out of incense. I’ll go out and buy some new ones for you. The room needs to be clean and hygienic to improve your mood.”

Maria nodded and asked the maid to leave to buy incense without wariness,

The maid smiled and nodded.

However, just as she was about to leave the room, Melody suddenly said, “Wait

The maid was inexplicably nervous. She swallowed her saliva before turning back. She asked, “Miss Melody, what can I do for you?”

With a faint smile, Melody said. “There are many things to pay attention to when buying incense. I’m afraid you’ll buy the wrong one. I’ll go with you.”

When the maid heard this, the smile on her face could not help but stiffen. She went out now not to buy incense, but to tell Yolanda that Melody had cut off Yolanda’s medicine.

However, if Melody followed her, it would be difficult for her to contact Yolanda. Then, Yolanda would not know immediately.

At the thought, the maid’s forehead was covered in sweat.

Melody naturally saw this scene.

She asked meaningfully, “Why? Are you afraid that I’ll affect your work?”

The maid’s heart skipped a beat. She felt that Melody’s eyes seemed to have seen through everything

But it’s impossible. I’ve worked for Maria for so long, but Maria and Hattie had not noticed. How can Melody, a village girl who had just returned, have such insight? I can’t scare myself. When Melody said affecting my work, she must have meant incense. I can’t overthink it with that thought in mind, the maid pretended to be calm. “How, how, how can this be. How can it be called affecting? It’s best if you can choose with me.”

That’s good.” Melody greeted Maria and brought Hattie out. The three of them went out together. Before leaving, Melody specially asked if Yolanda was home. After confirming she wasn’t, Melody went out openly.

However, Melody did not walk toward the main entrance of the district. Instead, she took a detour to the west gate, w

which few people went to.

The maid could not help but feel uneasy. “Miss Melody, it’s not easy to get a taxi at the west gate…

Melody looked around and saw that there was no one around. She immediately stopped in her tracks.

Before the maid could react, Meolody grabbed her and pressed her to the ground, making her unable to move.

“Ouch…” The maid exclaimed and asked in a panic, “Miss Melody, what are you doing? Let go of me quickly. It hurts!”

Chapter 104

Hattie was also shocked when she saw this. She quickly went forward and tried to stop Melody, “Miss Melody, what’s wrong? Let go of her quickly.”

Melody pretended not to hear Hattie’s words and only stared coldly at the maid with a sharp gaze.

“Pain! You can feel pain too? When you drugged my grandma, why didn’t you know that my grandma would feel pain and discomfort!” Melody asked.

The maid’s heart skipped a beat, and she fell silent. It was as if she was suffocating.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you surprised that I suddenly exposed you? Huh?” Melody continued.

“I, I… I didn’t!” The maid finally came back to her senses and subconsciously denied it.

Hattie, who was beside her, was stunned.

“Wait… What drug? Melody, what are you talking about?” Hattie was so shocked that she even forgot to address Melody respectfully.

As Melody controlled the maid, she stuffed a bag of paper into the maid’s mouth to prevent her from shouting and attracting people over. Melody explained, “Hattie, I won’t hide it from you. When I first checked Grandma’s pulse, I noticed that someone had poisoned Grandma’s medicine. This poison is called mercury sulfide. You must have heard of it. Taking it for a long time will cause death.”

Hattie’s eyes instantly widened as she looked at the maid on the ground unbelievably. “You dared to drug Mrs. Maria? Mrs. Maria treats you so well, so why did you bite the hand that feeds your

The maid had a piece of paper in her mouth and couldn’t speak at all. She could only shake her head vigorously to indicate that she didn’t do it.

Melody sneered and answered on behalf of the maid, “She does bite the hand that feeds her, but the reason… is just ‘money?

Hattie’s brain was already running out. She did not want to think for herself. So, she asked directly. “Are you saying that someone instructed her to do this?”

“Yeah.” Melody nodded.

“Who’s the vicious person? Mrs. Maria is usually very good to everyone and cares for the maids. And she has no enemies. Who instructed her?” Hattie asked.

“What do you think?” This time, Melody did not answer directly. Instead, she looked at Hattie calmly.

Hattie could not help but start to think.

Besides her, there was also a young maid taking care of Maria. She was the one who had introduced the maid to Maria. That maid was reliable and capable. The two of them were more than enough to take care of Maria. But Yolanda suddenly found a maid to help later. After that, Maria’s health seemed to be deteriorating day by day.

At that time, she had never thought Maria’s health problem would have something to do with this maid.

“Could it be… Hattie’s face was a little pale. She said with difficulty, “Mrs. Fox…”

Melody did not keep her in suspense anymore. Instead, she nodded slowly. “Yolanda has always wanted to be the only hostess of the Fox family, but as long as Grandma is alive, she has to listen to Grandma. This is her motive. It’s simple and “Mrs. Fox, she…” Hattie gritted her teeth in anger. Tm going to tell Mrs. Maria immediately!”

“Don’t!” Melody quickly stopped her. “My grandma’s diarrhea was caused by a huge shock these past two days. If you tell her now, her condition will only worsen. Rather than that, why don’t we secretly obtain enough evidence before finding a suitable opportunity to expose Yolanda?*

Hattie was silent for a while before agreeing with Melody.

However, she was still very shocked. She couldn’t believe Yolanda, who looked filial and so concerned about Maria, was so vicious!

However, she already knew Melody very well. She knew Melody wouldn’t lie to her, and there was no need for Melody to lie to her. Moreover, she could tell that Melody was sincere to Maria. She knew Melody wouldn’t use Maria to deal with Yolanda.

“But… is Mrs. Fox that vicious? Hattie still doubted it.

Seeing that Hattie did not completely trust her, Melody took the phone from the maid and said, “In order not to be discovered, she must have contacted Yolanda with her phone. You can check her phone If you still don’t believe me.”

When the maid heard this, she calmed down. Her phone had a password. Melody couldn’t know her password. She believed Melody couldn’t find evidence as long as she said nothing!

However, from the corner of her eye, she saw Melody quickly click on her phone a few times. Then, her phone unlocked automatically!

Well… How is this possible? The maid’s face turned pale.

Melody seemed to have guessed what the maid was thinking. The corners of her lips curled up as she said, “I’m sorry. Coincidentally. I’ve learned hacking skills. It’s not a big deal to crack the password on your phone.”

“Hmm….. The maid shook her head desperately and wanted to speak, but she could only make low sounds.

The phone was unlocked, and all the maid’s secrets were completely exposed.

She didn’t have the habit of deleting text messages because she was confident that Maria and Hattie wouldn’t suspect her.

Hence, Melody and Hattie saw all the contents of the messages.

For example, Yolanda asked her to get the poison, and she told Yolanda that she had used up all the medicine. She also told Yolanda about Maria’s health and what had happened..

Seeing this, Hattie finally believed Melody’s words. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

She was so angry that she kicked the maid hard to vent her anger

“So what should we do now?” Hattie had no experience in scheming, so she could only ask Melody for advice.

It’s easy. She and this phone are one of the pieces of evidence. However, this woman is very stubborn and won’t admit it casually, so I need you to help me find a place to lock her up first so that Yolanda won’t know the news. In addition, we need to find the place where Yolanda bought the poison and the person who sold it to her. Only when the evidence is complete can Yolanda not be able to quibble,” said Melody.

Hattie thought about it and said, “We can send her to my hometown. My hometown is in a neighboring county. I’ll call my son over to bring her over now. Coincidentally, my son is a police officer. I’ll explain it to my son and let him interrogate. That’s great!” said Melody.

She would let professionals do what they’re good at, and she believed that this maid would give in soon.

Now, she only needed to find where Yolanda bought the poison and convince the shop owner.

However, it was not urgent now. Since Yolanda could bewitch Russel too easily, Melody had to dismantle Yolanda’s position in Russell’s heart bit by bit. Only at that moment could this trump card work.

About an hour later, Hattie’s son came to take the maid away.

Hattie held Melody’s hand and cried her heart out. “Miss Melody, it’s all thanks to you. I wouldn’t have discovered these things if it weren’t for you. You’ve helped Mrs. Maria a lot, and you’ve helped me too! In the past, I had cancer. Mrs. Maria gave me money and found the best doctor to cure me. After I got married, I left the Fox family. More than ten years ago, my husband passed away in a car accident. And Mrs. Maria was willing to let me, who was already so old, return to work and have the money to support my son. She helped me a lot. You saved her, so you saved me. I’ll do whatever you say in the future!”

Chapter 105

Hattie’s eyes were filled with sincerity.

The eyes of someone like her couldn’t be deceiving, so Melody was relieved.

Before this, she was hesitating whether she should reveal this to Hattie. She was worried Hattie was also working for Yolanda… However, from Hattie’s attitude now, Melody could tell Hattie was sincerely kind to her grandmother. Therefore, she was relieved to leave this job to Hattie.

“It’s just that…” Melody said. “There’s suddenly one person missing at home. How are we going to explain this to Grandma?”

“Don’t worry about that. Mrs. Maria always felt that this maid was lazy and didn’t like her very much. I’ll tell Mrs. Maria that I’ve fired that maid. As for Mrs. Fox… Hattie looked troubled.

Melody chuckled and said, “You don’t have to worry about Yolanda the most. She’s afraid of being discovered, to begin with, so she usually doesn’t meet this maid. Didn’t you realize that their communication is all on the phone? If I take over this phone, she won’t notice even if this person disappears for a year!

“Good. So where are we going now?” Hattie asked.

“Of course, we’re going to buy incense! Aren’t we here to buy incense? Melody blinked slyly.

She had to put on a full show. Since she said she would buy incense, she would buy it for real.

However, Hattie went to buy the incense herself, while Melody followed the information on the maid’s phone and found it. where Yolanda bought the mercury sulfide.

When she arrived at the destination, Melody realized it was a market in the suburbs.

Melody walked around the market several times before finally finding a hidden passageway connected to a black market.

However, not everyone could enter this black market.

Melody was about to enter when the guard stopped her. “Do you have a pass?”

“A pass. Melody hesitated before saying, “I’m sorry, a friend recommended me. This is my first time here, so I don’t know what pass it is. May I know how to get a pass?”

When he heard that Melody did not have a pass, the guard immediately said with a dark expression, “Go, go, go! What are you doing here, kid? This is not a place you can enter. Hurry up and leave!”

Melody staggered and almost fell on her face when the guard pushed her.

At this moment, an old man and a young man walked out.

The young man said proudly, “We’re so lucky today! I can’t believe we used 100 dollars to buy this priceless ancient coin! Grandpa, do you think we’re lucky today?”

“Yeah, not bad…“. The old man looked at the ancient coin and put it into his pocket like a treasure.

Melody quickly glanced around and followed the two of them.

She called out politely, “Gentlemen…

Hearing Melody’s voice, the two of them turned around warily.

The young man asked with an unfriendly expression, “Who are you? What do you want?”

Melody did not beat around, the bush and said, “Coincidentally, saw the ancient coin you got just now. I happen to have done some research on antiques. This ancient coin of yours is fake. Their expressions instantly darkened.

The young man directly scolded, “What do you know! My grandfather used to be an employee of Pearly Antiques. Even if I were wrong, he wouldn’t be wrong?”

Pearly Antiques? Isn’t it the antique shop Ken wanted but ended up in Ullric’s hands in my previous life? Melody quickly came back to her senses. She shrugged and said provocatively, “Since you don’t believe me and insist on being scammed. I have no choice… I’m leaving If I had known you would scold me, I wouldn’t have wasted time reminding you”

As soon as Melody said this, the two of them immediately wavered.

The old man took out his presbyopia glasses and examined the coin.

He looked at it and found traces of it being made old.

“It’s fake,” the old man said.

“What Grandpa, are you sure?”

The two of them chattered for a while and finally confirmed that they had been deceived.

“Ridiculous! How dare they lie to us? I’m going to settle the score with them? With that, the young man was about to walk in.

“Wait. Melody stopped him and said. “I helped you, but you don’t even thank me?”

The young man stopped and looked at the old man, who remained silent for two seconds before saying slowly. “Young lady, you want to enter but have no pass, right?”

Melody nodded and said half–truthfully, “I know a little about antiques and have some spare money on me. I want to go in and try my luck to earn some pocket money. I wonder if you can lend me your pass?

“Sure.” The old man was not stingy. He only said, “But you have to return it to me. It’s not easy to buy this pass even if you have money. We spent a lot of effort to get two.”

“No problem” Melody agreed and entered the black market with the young man.

Before this, the young man had even given her a mask.

He said. “Those inside won’t show their true faces. You’d better do the same

Melody did not know the rules at all. She hurriedly nodded and thanked him. Thank you

“You’re welcome. I’m just returning the favor. The man shrugged and led the way in. After entering, Melody was surprised to discover that this was not just a simple black market, but a very prosperous street.

There were countless stalls on both sides of the street. The stalls are old things that were prohibited from being sold in the market. Some people even set stalls saying people could hire them as assassins.

At this moment, even Melody, who had lived once, could not help but stand there in shock.

The young man sneered and said, “What an inexperienced kid! Alright, return the card to me and look for your treasure. By the way, let me give you a suggestion. Don’t reveal your identity to anyone or take off your mask. Otherwise, you won’t have a good ending”

After saying that, the young man took the pass from her hand and left. Melody quickly recovered from her shock and began to look for a stall to buy mercury sulfide.

However, the stalls selling mercury sulfide were everywhere.

Just as Melody did not know how to find the stall that Yolanda Ofen went to, she heard a familiar female voice. “You’re too black-hearted! The last time I came to buy it, it wasn’t at this price. You’ve increased it by ten times!”

Melody’s back stiffened.

This voice. She quickly looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman wearing a mask talking to the stall owner not far away.

That woman was none other than Yolanda!

Although Yolanda was wearing a mask, Melody still recognized her at a glance.

Coincidentally, Yolanda appeared when Melody was having trouble finding her.

No wonder Yolanda was not at home. She had come to this black market to “replenish” her stock.

However, since Melody could recognize Yolanda, Yolanda would recognize her too. Therefore, Melody’s first reaction was to find a hidden place and use the miscellaneous items‘ cover to monitor Yolanda’a’s condition secretly.

The stall owner smiled and said, “Madam, go to the other stalls and ask. My price increase is very reasonable. The concentration of mercury sulfide you bought in the market is low, and it’s not enough to have an effect. You can’t buy pure mercury sulfide like ours anywhere else. It’s also difficult for us to get goods, so we raised the price.”

– Yolanda couldn’t bargain and didn’t want to complicate matters for fear of exposing her identity.

Moreover, she had to go to the shop to buy mercury sulfide on the market and provide identity information to buy a large amount of mercury sulfide, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and spend ten times the usual price to buy the mercury sulfide.
