Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 111, 112, 113, 114 & 115)

Chapter 111 – Vicious Plan

Astrid was so angry that she held her forehead and said, “Idiot! Of course, you need to return the money to Taynorma Capital

“But…” Wendell stammered.

“What You’re about to be chased out of the Swanson Group, yet you still feel sorry for this 10 million dollars?” Astrid asked.

“No, but..” Wendell gritted his teeth and stammered. “I’ve already used up the 10 million dollars….

“You used it up? What about your other money? You’ve been in the Swanson Group for so long. You must have made some money. Don’t tell me you can’t even save 10 million dollars! Tell me honestly, did you gamble again?” Astrid asked furiously.

Wendell saw that he could not hide it anymore, so he could only tell the truth. “T… Astrid, I won’t gamble anymore in the future! Please save me this time!”

“You! You’re driving me crazy!” Astrid was so angry that her migraine was about to flare up. However, the other party was her biological brother and she needed her people in the Swanson Group. In the end, she could only transfer 10 million dollars to Wendell.

She said. “This is the last time! I definitely won’t help you next time! Also, you’d better find a traditional medicine practitioner who can perform nine–line acupuncture in three days. Otherwise, you’ll have to return this 10 million dollars to me”

When Wendell heard this, he agreed repeatedly.

It was just a traditional medicine practitioner. Compared to 10 million dollars, it was nothing.

“Don’t worry, Astrid. I’ll find a doctor for Ulric and treat his legs, said Wendell.

That better be the case!” Astrid said and hung up.

If the other party weren’t her biological brother, she wouldn’t care about this idiot.

“He can’t do anything right!” Astrid scolded as she found Ulric and quickly told him Ken was already in charge of the headquarters pro tempore.

Ulric said with a dark expression, “I had no idea about this. It seems Ken is more important than me in Father’s heart.”

“How is that possible? You’re his son too. He can’t be so biased that he won’t give you anything, Astrid comforted him.

Ulric sneered with a complicated expression and said, “If Father weren’t biased, why did he still protect Ken even though Ken crippled my legs and didn’t let us call the police? If I was the one who crippled Ken’s legs back then, do you think Father would have let me off?”

“Of course, he would!” Astrid blurted out.

She gritted her teeth. She knew very well that her status in Ramon’s heart wasn’t as high as his ex–wife’s, but she firmly believed that after being by his side for so many years, Ramon must have her and her son in his heart.

At the thought of this, Astrid said, “He protected Ken and didn’t let us call the police because he didn’t want to expose his dirty laundry

Is that the case?” Ulric looked at Astrid deeply and said, “Or do you think Father won’t suspect my legs?” Astrid felt a chill down her spine and subconsciously denied it. He can’t possibly suspect anything!” Although she said that, Astrid started to panic for no reason.

“Let’s not dwell on this anymore.” Ulric looked away and said coldly, Tm telling you this because I want to tell you that if

I will remove all obstacles for the Swanson Group, including Father!” if necessary,

Astrid’s back stiffened, but she didn’t say anything to dissuade him.

In her heart, her son was much more important than her husband.

“How’s the search for the doctor who can perform nine–line acupuncture?” Ulric grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair and asked.

It was difficult for him to move. Although he could walk, he could only rely on his walking stick and could not walk far. Therefore, he had to rely on Astrid to do many things.

At the mention of the doctor who could perform nine–line acupuncture, Astrid quickly said, “I’m looking for him. I’ve also asked your uncle to help me find one. As you know, although your uncle is unreliable, he knows all kinds of people. He might have more connections than me.”

“As soon as possible. We don’t have much time left. If Ken stays in the headquarters for too long, and things become like at the Insterimond branch, we won’t be able to shake his position.

“I know. I’ll do it as soon as possible!” said Astrid.

After the mother and son finished talking about Ken, Ulric mentioned Melody again. “Keep an eye on that ugly freak too. It’s best if we can get rid of her directly. Although I don’t know why, I feel a little uneasy.”

“Melody?” Astrid smiled coldly and said, “Don’t worry. I just heard that Fairlee from the court is finding trouble with her. Her nephew is still lying in the hospital. She can’t take this lying down. Fairlee will help us destroy Melody without us doing anything.”

“Very good… In that case, there’s no need to reveal Ken’s marriage to the public now. Otherwise, it won’t be good if Fairlee retreats because of the Swanson family.” Ulric reminded his mother.

“I know. How can I not even know this?” Astrid said.

As the mother and son spoke, they fell into a dead silence, each making plans.

On the other side, Melody took out the two most valuable bags from the pile of gifts and put them in the bags before walking out.

Although she didn’t have a receipt, she still planned to go to the counter and ask whether she could get a refund. After all, she hadn’t even opened the box.

However, when she passed by the hall, Melody happened to bump into Mabel, who was about to go out to attend the socialite training class.

She ignored Mabel, but Mabel stuck to her like a sticky candy. When she saw Melody taking a taxi on her phone, she pretended to be surprised and asked, “Melody, didn’t Dad arrange a driver for you? Dad is too much. You’ve been back for so long, but he still hasn’t assigned you a driver. After I return from school tonight, I’ll help you talk to Dad. Or I’ll get Dad to lend you the driver he assigned to me.”

When Melody heard this, she stopped and suddenly paused. “Do you hear anything?”

When Mabel heard this, she subconsciously shut up and listened. She, she shook her head. “No, what did you hear!”

“I heard a pig barking. Maybe a pig was yelling just now.” As soon as Melody finished speaking, the online car she had called arrived. Melody immediately opened the car door and got in.

The car sped away quickly. Mabel, still standing at the same spot had yet to react.

“The sound of a pig? A pig was yelling?” Mabel scratched her head in confusion and suddenly realized what Melody meant.

She immediately stomped her foot in exasperation and scolded “Bitch! You’re the bitch! You bitch!”

However, Melody had already taken a car out of the neighborhood and could not hear Mabel’s scolding.

Mabel was so angry that her face almost turned green.

“Damn it… I won’t let you off, Melody!” Mabel gritted her teeth and suddenly, her eyes lit up.

“Oh, right… Mom has told me not to make a move before Grandma dies. However, Mom is not always right. I must kill Melody today! With that in mind, Mabel had a vicious plan. She looked at the time on her phone, turned around, and quickly ran to the villa. Then, she quietly went to Yolanda’s room.

At that time, Yolanda had not woken up yet. She secretly went to the safe where Yolanda had hidden her things and took out a card.

Chapter 112 – Old Enemy

Mabel had seen this card a few times, but this was the first time she held it herself.

The pass was black and had a silver–gray wolf head printed on it. It looked especially treacherous.

It was said that this was a pass that her mother had asked someone to buy at a high price. One could enter the underground black market in Silverlake with it.

At this moment, a small sound came from the bedroom.

Her mother was awake!

Mabel was shocked. She quickly closed the safe and placed the pass in her pocket. Then, she walked toward the bedroom with a smile.

She asked, “Mom, you’re up?”

Yolanda nodded and said sleepily, “What are you doing here? Isn’t it almost time for class?”

“Yeah, I came to tell you I’m going to school,” said Mabel.

“There’s no need to inform me… I’m already satisfied with your intentions. Hurry up and go to school. I heard that you’ll be meeting a socialite from Insterimond today. If possible, you must make friends with that lady” Yolanda instructed.

Compared to Insterimond, Silverlake was still insignificant.

There were wealthy families everywhere in Insterimond. In comparison, those families in Silverlake were much inferior. If Mabel could build a connection with people from Insterimond, her net worth might increase.

“I know, Mom. I’ve already asked around. That socialite’s name is Janet. She seems to have just returned from studying abroad. Our etiquette teacher taught her etiquette in the past. She only agreed to come after the etiquette teacher begged her thousands of times. I’ll perform well and try to be good friends with her,” said Mabel

“It’s good that you know, Go quickly. Although it’s still early, the situation today is special. Go over early.” Yolanda urged.

Mabel replied, “Okay, Mom, I’m leaving! By the way, I don’t need a driver today. Perhaps I can use the excuse of not having a driver to hitch a ride with that Miss Murphy”

“Alright, it’s good that you know how to socialize. Go. As for Melody, don’t conflict with her for the time being. Your father’s attitude toward her is different now. Don’t make him unhappy. Yolanda reminded.
Mabel nodded and hurriedly went out.

Yolanda looked at Mabel’s back and felt that something was wrong. A bad feeling involuntarily surfaced in her heart.

“What’s wrong with me?” Yolanda asked herself silently. She couldn’t help but press her temples. The bad feeling slowly dissipated.

She thought she probably didn’t sleep well. Last night, to please Russell, she tossed and turned until the sky turned bright before she fell asleep.

She was getting on in years, and her energy in that area was not as good as before. When she woke up, her entire body was sore, as if her body was about to fall apart.

Yolanda sighed, covered herself with the blanket, and continued sleeping.

On the other side, Mabel had also called for a ride online. However, she did not go to the training school. Instead, she went to the black market.

At the same time, Melody arrived at the gate to Silverlake Building’s shopping mall.

Block A of Silverlake Building gathered top international luxury brands and many famous brands of the country. The people who shopped here were either rich or noble.

Melody was about to enter when she was stopped by the security guard at the door.

“Kid, if you’re not shopping, you’re not allowed to visit this place The security guard looked at Melody in disdain, thinking. Not only is this girl dressed plainly, but she is also terribly ugly. If such a person enters, it will easily affect the shopping mood of the distinguished VIP guests.”

Melody was already used to people who despised her.

Without changing her expression, she explained to the security guard, I’m here to return the goods.”

“Return?” The security guard sneered and said, “Girl, aren’t you lying through your teeth? Putting aside the fact that the goods in Silverlake Building are not returnable, look at you. Did you buy your things from the Silverlake Building for real? If you don’t want to be chased out by the counter staff later, you’d better leave now to prevent yourself from being embarrassed”

“You…” Melody frowned tightly.

Even used to it, she was a little anxious and angry now.

At this moment, a cold female voice sounded from behind. “Isn’t this Miss Fox?”

Melody subconsciously turned her head and met Janet’s half–smiling eyes.

“Miss Murphy Melody nodded politely and said, “What a coincidence to bump into you here. ”
Janet smiled slightly in response.

The security guard’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw it was Janet. He went forward obsequiously. “Miss Murphy, what brings you here? Are you here to inspect? Why didn’t you tell them in advance so that I could tell them to prepare your favorite refreshments in advance?”

“No need. I’m just here to buy some gifts for someone,” said Janes.

Someone invited Janet to give an etiquette class to the socialites in Silverlake today. Naturally, she had to give some luxury goods to those socialites to make herself look rich and generous.

However, Janet did not expect to see Melody being rejected by the security guard on this trip.

“No wonder the weather is so good today. It turns out that there is such a good show to watch… With that in mind, there was a hint of mockery in Janet’s eyes, but she quickly hid it.

She pointed in Melody’s direction and asked, “What… is going on with her?”

The security guard had been too focused on looking at Janet to notice Janet’s conversation with Melody.

He quickly replied, “Here’s the thing, Miss Murphy. This girl didn’t buy anything from Silverlake Building but insisted on going in and said she came to return the goods. You know, the rule of the Silverlake Building is that goods are non-refundable once out of the counter. If she doesn’t even know this rule, she’s a liar.”

Seeing the disdain in the security guard’s eyes, Janet felt comfortable.

She tried her best to hide the smile on her face and turned to look at Melody from head to toe. “Miss Fox, have you come here to buy things yourself? Honestly, the Silverlake Building belongs to my father. If you have indeed bought it, I can get the security guard to apologize. However, if you want to take advantage of the situation to cheat people, I’m sorry, but I might have to transfer you to the police station according to the company’s rules.”

When Melody heard this, she could not help but narrow her eyes. Here she comes again…..

In Melody’s previous life, as an enemy. Janet spared no effort to destroy her and defeat her.

In this life, now that Melody stood on Ken’s side, she thought she could turn enemies into friends with Janet.

However, it turned out that some people could only become enemies no matter how many times they got to know each other again.

A sharp and cold glint appeared in Melody’s eyes. She gave up the idea of becoming friends with Janet as soon as Janet said. the sentence of transferring her to the police station.

Since they could not be friends, they would continue to be enemies.

If she were to do it again, she would still be able to win against Janet.

“Miss Murphy, are you using your position to take revenge?” Melody asked.

Janet’s back stiffened as she felt the powerful aura emanating from Melody.

This aura was so familiar. It was very similar to Ken’s when he was angry.

But, how is this possible? Janet could not help but be stunned.

However, she quickly reacted. She said coldly. “Miss Fox, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not using my position to take revenge. I’m just doing my job. Or are you feeling guilty now, so you’re deliberately saying I’m using my position to take revenge?”

“Huh.” Melody smiled coldly and said. I have nothing to feel guilty about. These things did come from your counter, but I don’t have time to waste with you now!”

With that, Melody turned to leave.

Chapter 113 – Useless Trash

It turned out that the shopping mall in the Silverlake Building belonged to Janet’s family. Melody had forgotten about this

Even if she had a receipt now, Melody knew she couldn’t successfully return the goods

Since that was the case, she might as well not waste time and saliva and leave directly

However, just as Melody took a step forward, Janet immediately gave the security guard a look

The security guard was also good at reading people’s expressions. He immediately understood and stepped forward to block Melody’s path.

Melody frowned unhappily. She stared at Janet with her gloomy eyes. Then, she asked coldly, “What do you mean?”

Janet raised her chin slightly, revealing her beautiful collarbone. She said indifferently, “I don’t mean anything. I only want to do things according to our rules. Now, Miss Fox, please cooperate with me to check if you’re a liar.”

Janet was 100% certain that Melody had never come to the Silverlake Building to buy luxury goods.

After she learned Melody and Ken had registered their marriage, she investigated Melody thoroughly

Melody’s mother was Russell’s ex-wife. Melody had been raised in the countryside since she was young. Now that she had. returned to Silverlake, she was very neglected by the Fox family.

The Fox family was only middle–class and could not even be considered wealthy. In addition, Russell was famous for being a miser. He couldn’t let his ugly daughter, Melody, enter the Silverlake Building to shop.

Moreover, the two bags in Melody’s hands did not fit her age.

Therefore, Melody either stole the bag of Russell’s current wife or bought fake goods to dispute Silverlake Building.

No matter what, as long as they found out, Melody’s reputation would be ruined.

How could she not seize such a good opportunity to destroy Melody?

Melody frowned deeply and said, “As I said, these two bags were indeed bought from Silverlake Building, but now I’ve changed my mind and don’t plan to return them. So you have no right to investigate me now.

However, when Melody said this, Janet was even more certain that one of her guesses was correct.

“You’re indeed guilty!” Janet sneered and reminded the security guard. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call the police.”

“Okay! Miss Murphy!” The security guard picked up his phone and was about to call the police

Melody hurriedly reached out and snatched the security guard’s phone away. She turned to look at him coldly and said to Janet, “Please stop before you go too far! If we make a fuss, it won’t be good for our reputation.”

Janet nodded. “That’s right. If the matter is exposed, you won’t be able to survive in the socialite’s circle in Silverlake anymore. Of course, it’ll ruin your reputation. But guess what? I insist on exposing you! But since you’re so afraid I’ll call the police, I won’t.”
After saying that, Janet took out her phone and dialed Ken’s number.

“Ken, do you have time now? I have an emergency here. I’ll wait for you at the entrance of Block A of Silverlake Building.” Then, Janet hung up without waiting for Ken’s reply. She didn’t give Ken any time to refuse. After the call, Janet called a few more security guards and surrounded Melody, not giving her a chance to leave.

Now that things had developed to such a state, Melody was no longer anxious.

Since Janet was so stubborn and wanted to cause trouble, she would accompany her to the end!

‘Let’s see who will be embarrassed in the end! Melody thought.

Janet looked at Melody, who could not escape. She said slowly. “Melody, you were the one who didn’t let me call the police. I informed Ken, and he will be here soon. At that time, he will know what your true colors are!”

“Okay, then I’ll wait for Ken to see my true colors. She bent down to blow the dust off the steps, then sat down calmly and waited.

Janet looked at how Melody was still pretending to be calm even when she was about to die and felt even more disdainful. After the call, Janet called a few more security guards and surrounded Melody, not giving her a chance to leave.

Now that things had developed to such a state, Melody was no longer anxious.

“Okay, then I’ll wait for Ken to see my true colors. She bent down to blow the dust off the steps, then sat down calmly and waited.

Janet looked at how Melody was still pretending to be calm even when she was about to die and felt even more disdainful.

She is indeed from the countryside. She is sordid, tactful, and crude. I can’t believe she dared to lie to derive in Silverlake Building. She’s stupid and evil. I wonder why Ken would agree to register his marriage with a fool like Melody. Wasn’t he afraid of dirtying his own identity? Janet thought to herself.

On the other side.

Ken, who received the call, ignored Janet’s call However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered that he had bought the gifts for Melody at the Silverlake Building

For some reason, he had a vague feeling that this call might be related to Melody

Ken sat on the office chair for two seconds, then suddenly got up, picked up his suit jacket, and walked out

Just as he was about to reach the door, James knocked before coming in.

“Mr. Ken James almost bumped into Ken. He quickly stepped back and raised the document bag in his hand. I’ve obtained the data from Taynorma Capital that you asked me to collect. Do you want to read it now?”

“Put it on the table first. I’m going out for a while. After saying that, Ken walked out

Before James could ask, Ken had already walked far away.

At the entrance of Block A of Silverlake Building.

Melody was already sitting on the steps and waiting anxiously, but she still did not see Ken.

She stood up impatiently. Then, she said, “Miss Murphy, my time is precious. You’ve already wasted too much of my time. Now, I’m leaving”

Melody stood up and was about to leave. However, the security guards immediately approached her with fierce expressions. It was as if they were saying, “If you dare to leave, we’ll attack.”

-Melody said in amusement, “Miss Murphy, can’t your building hire some younger security guards? Do these six bodyguards.

have eight teeth in total? If I want to leave, the few of them won’t be able to stop me.”

She had matured in this life and wouldn’t attack anyone rashly.

It was too rude. Janet’s expression darkened as she said furiously, “Melody, watch your words! If you dare to leave, I’ll call the police immediately!”

Melody shrugged as she said, “Are you that eager to embarrass yourself? I’ll tell you one last time. The things in my hands were from your building’s counter, and they came legally and reasonably. I didn’t steal or snatch them. You have no right to keep me here.”

Melody had been playing with Janet for long enough. She had no patience to stay any longer.

As soon as she finished speaking, Melody walked down the stairs

A few security guards stepped forward immediately. They stood in a row, forming a human wall to block Melody’s path.

Melody frowned unhappily. “I don’t want to attack you. Get out of the way!”

The leader of the security guards took a step forward and said, “I’m old, but I used to be a special forces soldier. Girl, you’d better know your place and stay here obediently. Otherwise, my fists won’t show…

Before he could say “mercy“, Melody threw him over her shoulder to the ground.

“Ouch… The security guard immediately screamed in pain.

Melody had deliberately restrained her strength. Otherwise, the security guard’s bones would probably fall apart.

When the other security guards saw this, they immediately stepped forward in unison to subdue Melody.

However, Janet only saw a phantom shuttle between the security guards. When she saw it again, she was shocked to discover that all the security guards had been beaten to the ground by Melody in less than ten seconds. None of them could get up

“Useless trash!” Janet cursed furiously.

Chapter 114 – Low-Level Method

Seeing that Melody had hit the building’s security guards to the ground in the blink of an eye. Janet was so angry that her expression darkened. She even forgot her status as a socialite from Insterimond and cursed at the security guards.

Melody could not be bothered with Janet and was about to leave

However, Janet opened her arms and blocked Melody’s path the next second.

She said, “Stop! Don’t even think about leaving before Ken arrives! Since you don’t know what’s good for you, don’t blame me for attacking you!”

She had learned boxing for a few years. The people who taught her boxing were all experts in the international boxing world. Janet thought it should be more than enough to deal with a country bumpkin like Melody.

Melody raised her eyebrows and asked in amusement. “Are you sure you’re going to light me?”

“Huh, Janet snorted coldly. “Cut the crap and make a move! I can let you make three moves first!”

“Although Melody has beaten all the security guards to the ground, these security guards are each older than the other. Melody, a strong country bumpkin, can have a higher chance of winning against them. However, that might not be the case if she fights me… Janet thought.

“Alright,” Melody nodded. “You said it yourself.”

Since Janet has already stretched her face to me, I have no choice but to hit her. With that in mind, Melody quickly threw a punch.

Just as Janet was about to block Melody’s fist with her elbow, she suddenly saw a tall figure get out of a Maybach from the corner of her eye.

An idea flashed through her mind. Just as Melody’s fist was about to touch her, her entire body automatically fell back

With a dull thud. Janet fell to the ground.

Melody could not help but be stunned, thinking, I also learned boxing from my teacher, but since when did my punch carry such a strong gust of wind? I swear I didn’t even touch Janet just now!

“What the hell are you doing?” A male voice sounded.

Melody instinctively felt that something was wrong and subconsciously looked behind.

The man who came against the light was tall and straight. His handsome face was perfect, and his entire body exuded a powerful aura.

Even though they were more than 32 feet apart, Melody could still feel a powerful pressure.

It was none other than Ken.

In an instant, Melody immediately understood what Janet had been doing.

She was trying to frame Melody.

She should have reacted immediately. However, she did not expect Janet to use such a low–level method to frame her.

She had overestimated Janet.
Janet was not worthy of being her opponent. At this moment, Melody already knew that Ken would misunderstand her. Because of Janet, she might never be able to ally with Ken again.

However, it did not matter. In her previous life, she had become powerful alone. In this life, she could also rely on herself

“Ken… Janet fell to the ground. She said with red eyes. “Miss Fox is too much! I only asked her to cooperate with my investigation. Not only did she hit the security of my building, but she also hit me!”

When Melody heard this, she almost rolled her eyes in annoyance.

“How low–level It’s too low–level! Even the framing words are the same as those in a television drama. There is nothing novel about it at all, Melody mocked in her heart.

“Huh.” Melody did not want to defend herself and only stood on the spot and laughed mockingly.

“What’s the saying again? Those who understand me don’t need me to explain, and it’s useless to explain to those who don’t understand me, Melody thought

Ken walked up to Janet…

Just as Melody thought that he would reach out and help Janet up, she saw Ken standing there straight. He had no intention of reaching out to help the beauty up.

‘Does he not know how to be gentle with women? Or does he plan to “criticize” me first before helping Janet up?” wondered

In the next second, Ken said expressionlessly, Janet. I’m not blind”

Melody

Melody could not help but be stunned. She wondered what Ken meant. Was it what I think now? Had he seen everything? just now? Had he seen that I had not pushed Janet, and Janet fell herself?”

Janet also widened her eyes in shock

A great sense of panic surged toward her like a tidal wave

She called out in disbelief, “Ken“”

Ken closed his eyes and shook his head. Tm very disappointed in you.”

Janet’s heart skipped a beat. She instantly understood that Ken had indeed seen everything.

“I” Janet propped herself up from the ground and continued to slander Melody. “Why are you disappointed in me? What I said just now is true. These people can prove it!”

The security guards on the ground fell silent.

Janey thought they could not defeat Melody because they were old, but only those who had fought Melody knew how fast. accurate, and ruthless Melody was.
Especially the security guard who had stopped Melody from entering at the beginning. Now, he looked at Melody as if she was a monster.

As a former special forces soldier, he had already understood at the moment of the battle that even when he was young, he was not Melody’s match

They were all people who received 600 dollars a month. They didn’t have to sacrifice their lives for this 600 dollars.

When no security guards spoke up for her, anger rose from the bottom of Janet’s feet to the top of her head. “Why aren’t you talking? Are you mute?” “Janet, enough,” Ken said with a dark expression.

Janet instantly fell silent. She looked into Ken’s cold eyes with teary eyes and asked in disbelief, “We’ve fought side by side for so many years, and you don’t believe me?”

Ken looked away. “This has nothing to do with how long we’ve known each other. It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I trust my own eyes.”

His eyesight was good. Although he was about 200 feet away, he could see the scene just now.

Melody had indeed attacked Janet, but before she could touch Janet, Janet fell the moment she saw him.

He could not stand these small actions, though Janet was one of his right–hand men.

Janet bit her lower lip, unable to defend herself for a moment.

Ken spoke again. Apologize to her.

Janet was stunned. She pointed at her nose and asked. “You want me to apologize to her?”

Ken said impatiently. “Shouldn’t you apologize for slandering someone else? Janet. In my eyes, you’ve always been a righteous and reasonable person. I thought you were different from most pretentious socialites. I wish I didn’t misjudge you”

When Janet heard this, her hands subconsciously clenched into fists. She did not even feel it when her nails dug into her palms. Trust…

What she wanted was not Ken’s trust, but his favoritism.

She wished he could stand on her side without hesitation regardless of whether she was wrong.

But now… she finally realized clearly that she still didn’t get Ken’s favoritism even though she had worked hard for so many years.

However, she was unwilling to give up just like that!

In just two seconds, the two voices in Janet’s mind had already engaged in an intense battle.

Finally, Janet opened her mouth with difficulty and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito, “I’m sorry”

Chapter 115 – Apologize

Melody shrugged and said calmly. “There’s no need to apologize It’s not worth much. I still have other things to do. Since Ken’s here, let’s explain it clearly so you won’t waste my time in the future.”

She gritted her teeth. Melody’s attitude was too arrogant. She had never been treated like this before.

Janet was so angry that she trebled. However, she calmed down then and sneered in her heart. Could it be that when Melody saw Ken asking me to apologize, she thought Ken was on her side? Based on my understanding of Ken, Ken was just too straightforward, so much so that he dealt with everyone’s matters impartially.

Janet believed that if the person who faked the fall were Melody, he would also make Melody apologize.

However, after Melody’s reminder. Janet finally remembered her main purpose for calling Ken over.

“Ken Janet immediately perked up and said. “I called you here because Miss Fox tried to break into the Silverlake Building and deceive the people at the counter”

Melody crossed her arms and said with a faint smile. Trying to break into the Silverlake Building? Miss Murphy, if I’m not mistaken, the Silverlake Building should be a shopping mall. The shopping mall is open to customers. Don’t you think you’re using the wrong word when you say I broke into it?”

Using the wrong word! If I remember correctly. Melody’s academic qualifications are only in junior college. I’m an outstanding graduate from a first-rate international university. In terms of understanding vocabulary, Melody is not qualified to compare to me. Janet glanced at Melody in disdain and said. Do you not know if I used the wrong words?”

Ken looked at Janet and then at Melody. He frowned and asked, “Why did you call me here?”

Janet pointed at Melody and said, “She didn’t buy any luxury goods from Silverlake Building, but she insisted on going in to return the goods. Ken, you know that the rule of Silverlake Building is that once the goods are sold, they can’t be returned. Yet, she wants to go in and return the goods. Isn’t she lying with the goal of extortion?”

Janet was sure that Melody had never come to Silverlake Building to shop because she had specially sent someone to investigate just in case when she was waiting for Ken

Indeed, there was no record of Melody purchasing anything from Silverlake Building, so Janet was sure Melody was trying, to gain something from nothing.

After saying that, Janet questioned Melody, “Even if you shopped inside and plan to return the goods, show me the receipt when you bought them.”
After Ken heard Jane’s explanation, he roughly understood what happened.

Melody had specially called him to ask for a receipt in the morning. So, she wants to refund the gifts I chose for her. Is money that important to her? What exactly does she need money for? Ken wondered.

Out of curiosity, Ken also wanted to see how Melody would respond. Therefore, he did not speak and only stood silently at the side.

Melody originally planned to wait for Ken to explain to help her but when she saw that he was silent and looked like he was watching a good show, she could not help but curl her lips, thinking, ‘Stupid man! Is it so difficult to explain to help me?”

Melody was also a little angry after being delayed for so long.

She looked coldly at Janet with her gloomy eyes. Then, the corners of her lips curled up and she slowly said, “What if I had indeed bought these two bags from Silverlake Building?”

Janet snorted from the tip of her nose. “If I’m in the wrong, I can get down on my knees and apologize to you. Is that okay?” she blurted out Other than kneeling in the family’s ancestral hall, she had never knelt to anyone.

Moreover, she had already checked the purchase records. She was sure she was not mistaken.

Tik get down on your knees. Melody looked Janet up and down before her gaze landed on her smooth knees. “Such beautiful knees. What a pity”

Janet glared at her. “I can’t be wrong, so I don’t need to get down on my knees to you! On the other hand, if you came intending to extort and lie. I’ll send you to the police station immediately and not spare you for anyone’s sake.”

This “anyone referred to as Ken.

“Is that so. Melody deliberately dragged out the word.

Her interested expression made Janet panic.

Could it be that… Had I made a mistake! But how was that possible? Even if I was wrong, the person in charge of checking the purchase records in the building couldn’t. Melody must have been pretending to be calm and wanted me to retreat first. Thinking of this possibility, Janet sneered and said, Talking so much is a waste of time. Prove you bought your bags in our building. Since you bought it, there should be a shopping receipt, right? Where are the receipts?”

Melody shrugged. “I don’t have a receipt

Janet was overjoyed. I knew it.

Then, she talked to Ren, “Ken, I told you. She’s just a ”

Before Janet could finish her sentence, Melody said again. “But someone has a receipt. Janet’s voice paused, and a bad feeling arose in her heart.

In the next second. Melody looked at Ken and said. “Hey, why aren’t you saying anything? How long are you going to hold it in

Janet was confused. She asked Ken. “Ken, what does she mean?”

Ken narrowed his eyes.

It was undeniable that Melody’s tenacity and personality that would never let herself suffer were very similar to his

Een turned to look at Janet and said calmly, “Janet, you’ve misunderstood. She’s not a liar and didn’t come to deceive you. Those two bags did come from the counter in the Silverlake Building”

“But. But she doesn’t even have a shopping receipt.” Janet refused to give up.

“That’s because I bought them,” said Ken calmly.

Janet suddenly widened her eyes. “What did you say?”

Een repeated patiently. “I bought those two bags as a thank–you gift for curing my grandmother. So you misunderstood.”

Jane’s mind instantly went blank.

She never expected that the two bags were from the Silverlake Building. Moreover, Ken gave them to Melody!

Janet would not have called Ken over if she had known this would happen. Janet’s expression alternated between angry and awkward, and her clenched fists were slightly pale.

When Melody saw this, she said with a half–smile, “Miss Murphy since the matter has been clarified, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise. Choose for yourself. Do you want to get down on your knees and apologize to me here, or…..find a private place? You can choose.”

Janet’s expression was very dark.

No matter where she chose, as long as Ken knew about this, she would be embarrassed.

Embarrassing herself in front of the person she cared about the most was worse than killing her.

“That’s impossible!” Janet gritted her teeth and said, “It’s just a misunderstanding. Aren’t you going too far to make me kneel and apologize?”

“Going too far?” Melody sneered. “I’ll be sent to the police station for detention if we don’t clear up today’s misunderstanding. Don’t you think detention is more overboard than that?”
