Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 96, 97, 98, 99 & 100)    

Chapter 96

Melody did not bear Astrid’s words clearly for a moment. She only thought that Astrid thought that she wanted to marry Uine very much

At the thought, Melody put away her expression and said expressionlessly, “Mrs. Swanson, don’t worry I won’t marry into the Swanson family even if I die”

It’s not easy for me to have the chance to live again. And I’m marrying Ulric again? Just thinking about it made Melody feel disgusted!

“Huh,” Astrid steered and said. “But aren’t you already married into the Swanson family? You’re so shameless. You’ve already gotten your marriage certificate, yet you still want to pretend to be high–hearted here. Who are you going to show it to? But let me remind you, it’s not so easy to be the daughter–in–law of the Swanson family. Be careful not to suffer a backlash!”

With that, Astrid turned around and walked out.

She did not want to look at Melody’s face for a second.

She felt it was too disgusting!

“Want” Melody hurriedly stopped Astrid. “What do you mean? What marriage certificate? Make it clear!”

However, Astrid ignored her and quickly disappeared from the ward.

Hey You… Melody hurriedly sat up from the bed and wanted to chase after her, but her hand was on an IV drip and she felt dizzy again.

She had no choice but to sit back on the bed obediently.

Outside the ward. Ulne said leisurely, “Don’t you want Pearly Antiques? I heard that Dad wants to expand Pearly Antiques and turn it into the number–one antique treasure shop in the country. From the looks of it, Dad probably won’t give Pearly Antiques to you or me for the time being”

Although Pearly Antiques was only an antique treasure shop, it also contained auctioning antiques, treasure restoration, and various other derivative industries.

The big shots and rich businessmen loved this the most. Therefore, even if the income of Pearly Antiques could not compare to a project of the Swanson Group, it was important for socializing.

This was also why Ken couldn’t take back Pearly Antiques after so many years of hard work.

Now that Ramon wanted to expand Pearly Antiques, it was bad news…

However, this news came from Ulric’s mouth, so it was not certain if it was true.

Ken looked at him coldly. Suddenly, Ken pursed his lips and said with a half–smile, “I heard you went out this time to look for a rehabilitation doctor, right? You’re finally willing to treat your legs? What did the doctor say? Don’t tell me it’s too Late”

Linc suddenly clenched his fists and was about to speak when Altrid walked out of the ward with a dark expression, as if she was furious with Melody.

The mother and son seemed to be no match for Ken…

This feeling was maddening and suffocating!

“Don’t worry “Ulnd took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his emotions. “My legs will recover soon. At that time. Til directly enter the headquarters to work. Ken, you don’t have to worry about anything in Silverlake.”

Ken shrugged nonchalantly as if he didn’t care.

Ulric was instantly even angrier, but he did not want Ken to know that Ken had angered him. He could only endure the anger and throw the marriage certificate into Ken’s hand before controlling the wheelchair to leave.

Before he left, he did not forget to mock Ken. “I wish you and the beautiful Miss Fox a blissful marriage!”

Melody was so ugly. They could imagine mockery would spread throughout Silverlake once the news spread!

Thinking of this Ulric’s mood improved a line.

As the mother and son walked into the elevator, Ulric asked, “How did the investigation go? Why did she and Ken get married!”

Astrid choked. She was too focused on bickering with Melody to find out anything.

“Ahem!” Astrid coughed dryly and said. “You can rest assured. That girl only wants to marry into the Swanson family and climb the social ladder. Her words are vulgar! Inferior! She doesn’t look like a socialite at all. She’s exactly like a shrew in the countryside. You can completely believe what I’ve found about her. She’s just a village girl who grew up in the countryside!

Seeing Astrid’s confident expression, Ulric let down his guard a little.

Now, he could at least confirm that Ken had married a useless and ugly woman who was of no help to him.

“From the looks of it, Ken did so because he wanted Margaret to have a great-grandson as soon as possible. I admire his filial piety, but don’t let your guard down. If there’s any news about Melody, let me know immediately,” said Ulric.

Although the truth was already in front of him, Ulric still felt uneasy.

“Got it” Astrid nodded, but she didn’t take this matter to heart at all

In her opinion, Melody had nothing that she should be wary of other than her medical skills.

However, was that the case?

Ken watched as the elevator door closed, and his dark eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous cold light

He thought: This mother and son had better not think of snatching Pearly Antiques from me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to care about the Swanson family’s reputation. Based on everything that had happened in the past, I will tear apart this layer of the Swanson family’s cover without hesitation.

Ken looked away from the elevator and walked into the ward,

He had just heard from the nurse that Melody had woken up and her fever had just subsided, but she still needed to be hospitalized for another day of observation

He looked at the marriage certificate in his hand, not knowing how he felt.

However, Ken had just taken two steps into the ward when he saw Melody tinkering with her hands. It was as if she was planning to pull out the IV needle.

Ken frowned and quickly stepped forward to hold her hand.

“What are you doing?” Melody looked up

and met Ken’s deep black eyes.

mention anything else, just this pair of eyes was enough to make one sink into them.

However, Melody only froze for a second. Then, she returned to her senses.

“I want to talk to Astrid,” She said anxiously. “She said that I married into the Swanson family. Do you know what happened?

As soon as she finished speaking, Melody saw the two red marriage certificates in Ken’s hands.

Her eyes instantly widened as she thought, Could it be that I still can’t escape the fate of marrying Ulric? Will I still die in the hands of Ulric and Mabel no matter how hard I try? No! I won’t let it happen!

Melody instantly lost her rationality. She snatched the marriage certificate and tore it into two,

Ken, who had always been expressionless, was stunned. “You”

“Even if I die, I won’t marry into the Swanson family! Please tell Ulric that I, an ugly village girl, am not worthy of him. Ask him to come over and divorce me immediately said Melody furiously.

She did not want the tragic ending of her previous life to repeat itself

“Ulric!” Ken raised his eyebrows, knowing that Melody had made a mistake.

She thought that the person she married was Ulric.

Ken was silent for two seconds after knowing Melody was wrong Suddenly, he lowered his eyes and sneered. Tsk. All the girls in Silverlake treat Ulric as their dream lover. You’re special. If you don’t even want to marry Ulric, who do you want to marry?

Melody blurted out, “As long as it’s not Ulric, I’m willing to marry anyone, even a beggar.

At least the beggar wouldn’t be two-faced and stab her in the back.

Ken was stunned again and couldn’t help but ask suspiciously. What’s your beef with Ulric?”

Chapter 97

Melody choked and did not know how to answer.

She couldn’t possibly say that Ulric cheated her of everything in her previous life and that he tricked her into going to the hospital to have her heart cut out and die

If she said this, she would immediately be taken to the mental hospital.

Fortunately, Ken did not seem to want to know the answer. He did not continue to ask and only said calmly. Til stop joking Look at who the other person on the marriage certificate is.”

“The other person? Melody was surprised, thinking, ‘Is my marriage partner not Ulric?

Melody picked up the marriage certificate she had torn into two halves and thrown on the ground suspiciously. When she saw the name on it, her eyes widened as she looked at Ken in disbelief. “You?”

Ken straightened his back and said expressionlessly. “I’ll pay you salary. 100 dollars a day. Just cooperate with me and act for my grandma!

After settling his grandmother, he could rest assured and put the matter of Pearly Antiques on the agenda at the headquarters in Silverlake.

Melody felt that her brain was not working properly. “How come have left the dark and damp abandoned garage and even gotten married to Ken when I woke up?”

She wondered what happened when she was unconscious.

However, she was not stupid. She quickly thought of Margaret based on Ken’s words.

“Margaret wants me to marry you?” she asked.

“Or else?” Ken shrugged.

“Alright…” Melody thought, “That makes sense. Why would Ken want to marry me? So, I have somehow married Ken and successfully allied with him?

Ken glanced at her and repeated, “100 dollars a day until we don’t need to stay married to each other. Are you going to do this deal”

Melody’s mind raced.

She was engaged to the Swanson family when she was young. Also, she did need a backer because she had just arrived in Silverlake. The title of Ken’s wife was enough for her to accomplish many things.

Moreover, Russell would not let go of the opportunity to become in-laws with the Swanson family. Instead of being married to Ulric, it was better to cooperate with Ken.

In any case, Ken and her had a common enemy, Ulric.

After a moment of silence, just as Ken was about to lose his patience, Melody suddenly said, ‘One thousand dollars a day. I’m very expensive.”

The corner of Ken’s mouth twitched, and it took him a long time before he said, “Melody, you’re something”
“Thank you. I’ll take it as a compliment. Don’t worry, this price is fair. You’ll know very soon that I’m worth this price,” said Melody. That so Ken glanced at her from head to toe and his gaze lingered on her chest for a few seconds.

Melody blushed and quickly covered her chest. “What are you thinking? I mean, I can help you with your career.

“Alright,” Ken waved his hand and interrupted her. “It’s settled”

“It was only one thousand dollars a day. He didn’t think it would be a loss as long as he could please Margaret”

As for his career, he did not think a girl from the countryside could help him much. She did not seem professional at anything else except for her medical skills.

Thank you, Mr. Swanson!” Melody bowed solemnly to Ken and added. “My salary needs to be settled daily!”

She wanted him to pay her daily because she needed money very much!

However, when Ken heard this, he could not help but look displeased, thinking. She is such a money-loving woman. I did not know why I had agreed to register my marriage with her for Grandmother. However, since things have come to this, I can only suck omit‘

Ken handed Melody a card and reminded her, “As long as you do well, I’ll pay you the day’s salary at midnight, but this has to be kept a secret from everyone. Your only job is to make my grandma happy. Also, don’t announce our marriage to the public now so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Do you understand?”

“Got it.” Although Melody agreed, she knew very well what he was thinking.

What did he mean by causing unnecessary trouble? Didn’t he say so only because he thought my face would embarrass him? Men are all like this. Even Ken judges girls on their appearances, Melody thought unhappily.

However, Melody did not know Ken was protecting her by asking her to do so

Melody would be ridiculed for her appearance and upbringing if the news of their marriage went public.

She was a girl after all, so her heart must be fragile.

After giving her the card, Ken prepared to leave

I’m busy. Call me if anything happens. I’ve arranged a nurse for you. You can be discharged tomorrow. I’ve already paid the medical bills for you. Don’t contact me if there’s no need,” said Ken

“Got it.” As she agreed, Melody complained in her heart, “How heartless. We’re still in a one–thousand–dollar–a–day relationship, after all.”

However, it was good that Ken was not around. She could think carefully about how to arrange what to do next.

The road of revenge was long, and she had nothing yet. She had to be careful with every step.

However, soon after Ken left, another guest came to the ward.

Melody looked at the cold beauty who had appeared at the ward door with a slightly surprised expression.

She asked. “Mass Murphy! Are you here to visit me?”

“Huh Janet smiled coldly. She took a few steps forward and said coldly. “I’ve underestimated you, Miss Fox.”

Janet had never interacted with Melody before, but she had interacted with Mabel.

She also hated Mabel.

As expected, people of the same family would always be similar Compared to Mabel, Janet felt Melody was even more disgusting.

Huh Melody, who was about to thank him, was stunned. So this beauty isn’t here to visit me?”

Sure enough, in the next second, Janet said with disdain. “I was wondering why you, the daughter of the Fox family, went to treat Margaret for no reason. It turns out that you did that for Ken. You’re too scheming!”

“Melody was speechless.

“But don’t think Ken likes you just because he married you. The person who knows him best in the world is me. He’s just trying to make Margaret happy. Once Margaret doesn’t like you anymore, he ll divorce you immediately because you’re worthless to him and not worthy of him at all, Janet said quickly and fiercely.

“1” Before Melody could say anything, she was interrupted again.

“Don’t let me find out you’re doing something bad for Ken. Otherwise, I won’t show mercy!” Janet continued.

Melody could not interrupt, so she shut her mouth and waited for Janet to finish.

There are many people who want to marry Ken, You won’t be able to last long by currying favor with Margaret! Well, wait and see!” After saying that. Janet turned around and left the ward without waiting for Melody to finish.

Melody did not even have the chance to explain. She just watched as Janet closed the door of the ward.

However, according to Janet’s reaction, she quickly analyzed the reason and realized Janet liked Ken

Tik Bad news, Melody muttered to herself.

Janet was not an opponent who was easy to deal with. In this life, Melody originally did not intend to be enemies with Janet, but they still became enemies by a freak combination of factors.

Although Melody didn’t like to cause trouble, she wasn’t afraid of trouble.

If Janet did something overboard to her, she would not be soft-hearted.

At the same time, on the eleventh floor of the inpatient department.

Fairlee came to the hospital to visit Barclay.

Barclay had been seriously injured and hospitalized after Melody asked the bodyguards to beat him up at Margaret’s birthday party.

He couldn’t hold his anger back these days, but his parents wouldn’t let him have any more conflicts with the Fox family. And also the Swanson family,

Now that he saw Fairlee, Barclay immediately propped himself up on the edge of the bed.

He said, “Fairlee! You have to avenge me!”

Chapter 98

Fairlee frowned and walked forward with an unhappy expression. She sized up Barclay, covered in plaster, and her heart ached

“Don’t worry.” She gently patted Barclay’s hand and said, “I will avenge you

Barclay wasn’t the only one who embarrassed himself that day.

Even if she didn’t want to avenge Barclay, Fairlee had to save herself some dignity.

When Barclay heard Fairlee’s reply, his eyes instantly lit up. “Fairlee, are you willing to avenge me?”

“Of course! The Lawrence family has no reason to swallow our anger and do nothing Fairlee was infuriated at the thought that not only did nothing happen to Melody that day, but she also made Barclay carry a bad reputation

“But Barclay hesitated and said, “I heard from my mother that the ugly freak cured Margaret’s illness. If we take revenge

will the Swanson family people be unhappy? Also, if she’s a miracle-working doctor… Then your illness…

Can she treat it too?”

Everyone thought that Fairlee hadn’t gotten married at her age because she was a celibate.

However, only the Lawrence family people knew Fairlee was not married because she could not have children.

About 20 years ago. Fairlee had a hooligan boyfriend.

Later on, when Fairlee got pregnant, her boyfriend forcefully brought her to a shady clinic for an abortion. Ever since then, Fairlee lost her ability to reproduce. Because of this, she decided not to get married and remain single.

If Melody could cure Fairlee’s illness, he could reluctantly forgive that country girl for offending him.

“A miracle-working doctor? Fairlee snorted coldly and said. That’s impossible! In my opinion, she either cured Margaret by accident, or Margaret probably isn’t seriously ill at all. As for whether the Swanson family will settle scores with us, that’s not something you have to worry about. I naturally have my own methods. What you have to do is quickly recover from your injuries. Don’t have after–effects because you haven’t recuperated well”

Barclay hurriedly nodded violently. “Fairlee, don’t worry. I’ll recuperate well! If you help me take revenge, my injuries will heal faster!”

Fairlee shook her head helplessly. “Oh, I don’t know when you’ll grow up

Barclay immediately pressed his head against the back of Fairlee’s hand like a puppy. “With you taking care of me, I don’t want to grow up.”

Fairlee smiled dotingly and tapped Barclay’s forehead. “I don’t know what to say to you!”
Barclay chuckled and couldn’t help but ask. “Then, Fairlee, how do you plan to avenge me? Find someone to beat up that ugly freak?

“Silly boy, it’s against the law to beat someone up. Am I the kind of person who breaks the law deliberately? Besides, so what if I beat her up? Physical injuries will heal quickly. I won’t use such a low–level method of revenge,” said Fairlee.

Killing people without leaving a trace was what she would do.

“Then you…” Barclay still wanted to ask, but Fairlee interrupted him.

“Don’t ask so many questions. They’re not things you should be worried about. You only need to recover from your injuries. You don’t have to worry about anything else.” “Alright. Barclay nodded. He only wanted to know that his aunt would avenge him.

As for Mabel, who had used him and betrayed him. He wanted to take revenge himself!

Fairlee sat in the ward for a while, then went to remind the attending doctor a few things before taking the elevator downstairs.

After the elevator descended, someone entered the elevator from the tenth floor.

Fairler subconsciously raised her head and her eyes lit up the next moment.

She asked, “Are you Janet?

Janet was in a terrible mood. She had wanted for so many years, but she could not even say that she liked him. However, an ugly monster appeared out of nowhere and snatched the seat beside Ken. How could she be in a good mood?

If it were anything else, she would never directly come and mock the other party only to vent her anger.

But this time, she had indeed lost her mind.

Now that she thought about it, she felt slightly frustrated and regretful for her impulsiveness.

Therefore, she did not hear Fairlee call her the first time. It was not until Fairlee called her again that she reacted and looked up at her. “You are… Ms. Lawrence?”

Fairlee was Janet’s mother’s former colleague. The two of them used to be very close.

Later on, Janet’s mother was promoted and went to a higher court in Insterimond. Only then did the two of them gradually reduce their interactions. However, they would still find a place to gather during festive seasons,

After recognizing Fairlee, Janet forced a smile. “Ms. Lawrence, what a coincidence.”

Fairlee smiled brightly and said, “Yes, I’m here to visit my useless. Let’s not talk about this. Weren’t you overseas? When did you come back?” “I’ve only been back for a few days. My mother hasn’t been feeling well for the past few years and planned to retire early, so I’ve been looking for a house in Silverlake recently. After a brief pause, Janet asked, “Who are you visiting at the hospital?”

Fairlee sighed and said, “He’s not sick but injured. Barclay. Do you still remember? That useless man. I can’t believe he got beaten up by a woman. I’m so angry!”

Janet remembered Barclay. She didn’t have a good impression of Barclay, but because of Fairlee, she still asked, “Who hit him? With you around, which woman would dare to hit him?”

“You can’t know her. She’s a girl called Melody,” said Fairlee nonchalantly.

Janet’s eyelid twitch. “Melody?”

“You know her?” Fairlee asked in surprise. “That girl just came back from the countryside. How can you know her?”

Janet rolled her eyes and shook her head. “I don’t know her. It’s just I feel that I don’t like this name very much. However, since she hit Barclay, she has to take responsibility. Aren’t you going to sue her? With your connections, won’t that young lady be sentenced to a few years in prison?”

“Oh, How can it be easy? The world of adults is much more complicated than you think. She has a relationship with the Swanson family, and that matter was said by her to be Barclay’s fault. I can’t do it openly,” said Fairlee.

Janet thought about it briefly and said two seconds later, “Ms. Lawrence, you’re my mother’s good friend. Why don’t I give you a suggestion“”

Fairlee’s eyes instantly lit up “Sure!”

A day went by in the blink of an eye.

Finally, it was time for Melody to be discharged.

Margaret offered to take her out of the hospital, but she declined.

“You’ve just recovered. You can’t be too tired. It’s better not to run around. I’ll come and see you when I’ve recovered a little. I’ll check your pulse Melody set her phone to speaker mode as she cleaned up.

Margaret agreed helplessly and said, “Since you and Ken have already registered your marriage, you can tell your family and move in with us. I think your father is biased. If you don’t have a good time living with your family, you might as well move in with us. What do you think?”

Well… I’ll see. My grandmother isn’t in good health. I want to help her recuperate for a while,” said Melody.

Hearing that it was related to Maria. Margaret did not insist and hung up after a few words of instruction.

Melody’s trip to the hospital was sudden, and there was not much to pack. However, Margaret had asked the maids to send a lot of supplements and fruits over yesterday. She tidied up her things and sent them to the nurses before planning to take them back to the Fox family.

However, Melody did not expect a low–key luxury car parked by the roadside to honk its horn as soon as she left the hospital.

She subconsciously looked over and saw the backseat window slowly roll down, revealing Ken’s face.

Chapter 99

Ken only revealed his side profile, but Melody quickly recognized him.

That noble and indifferent aura was not something ordinary people could have

However, is he here to pick me up Melody wondered

The next second, Ken turned to look at her.

Perhaps because she was facing the sun, the light made him narrow his black eyes slightly. Just one look was enough to bewitch all living beings.

In her previous life, she only saw Ulric and had never paid attention to anyone else. She had never thought that anyone could compare to Ulric. She thought Ulric was the most perfect man in the world.

However, now that she had walked out of the fog of love, she realized that Ken could suppress Ulric in terms of looks alone.

As Melody was lost in thought, she saw Ken frown impatiently and open his lips slightly.

She couldn’t hear what Ken said clearly because of the distance, but she could tell from his mouth that he was saying, “Aren’t you getting into the car?”

He was indeed here to pick her up!

Melody hesitated and looked at the people lining up and waiting for a taxi at the hospital’s entrance. Then, she decisively chose Ken.

After all, it would be a waste not to take a free ride.

After all, she was poor now and only earned one thousand dollars a day and a 2–million–dollar check from Ken

Recovering her appearance required a lot of expensive medicinal herbs. This bit of money was completely insufficient. She would save as much as she could.

At the thought, Melody sped up and went to the backseat to open the door.

Then, when she opened the car door, Melody realized that Ken was not the only one in the backseat. There was also Janet.

Janet looked at her indifferently with her cold eyes, which were filled with disgust.

“You can sit in front,” Ken said lightly.

“Okay…” Melody did not say anything else. She closed the car door and sat in the front passenger seat.

The car quickly drove away from the hospital. On the way, Ken did not speak to her again. Instead, he talked about business with Janet.

He said, “The acquisition over there is about to enter the most important stage. This acquisition is important to us. If you have time, help me monitor the progress.”

Melody pricked up her ears. ‘Acquisition Acquisition of what?
In her previous life, she did not know much about Ken. Most of Ken’s information was revealed to her by Ulric. Of course, the news was mostly negative words like slander. She could not brain more information.

However, she vaguely remembered that Ken seemed to have a company that made technological products.

It turned out that Ken had been planning his career from now on

Melody immediately pricked up her ears.

After all, he was her ally in taking revenge on Ulric. She needed to know him better.

Janet nodded and said, “Coincidentally, I read some law books when I was free overseas. It should be useful. However, our offer is so low. Will the other party agree?”

“Don’t worry, he’ll agree Ken’s voice was low and hoarse, and he sounded calm as if victory was in his grasp.

Melody raised her eyebrows slightly. Ken is something! He is so confident!

The car was silent for two seconds before Janet said again, “By the way, someone needs to be in the acquisition. You and I can’t leave here. Have you thought of a candidate?”

n charge of that company after

“Zack Nelson,” said Ken.

“Him? But, as far as I know, Zack is the CEO of the rival company. Is he willing to come over?” Janet looked surprised.

“Let’s give it a try first. Find a headhunting company and let him name whatever conditions he wants,” said Ken.

“Alright, got it. Melody nodded.

The conversation ended here. Melody lowered her ears and began to recall Zack in her mind.

Coincidentally, Zack was one of the people she had roped in for Ulric in her previous life.

Zack had a strange personality. She had spent a lot of effort to rope him in in her previous life. If she roped him in again.

it would be easier than last time. At the thought, Melody could not help but say, “Well…”

As soon as she spoke, the two people in the backseat looked at her.

Melody went straight to the point. “If you want to make Zack work for you, I might be able to help”

“You?” Janet chuckled and said. “Miss Fox, I’m afraid you don’t know what kind of person Zack is. He graduated from a top international university and studied management. The company Zack worked for was a role model in the industry. However, he has a solitary personality. He even rejected Ken’s invitation to have a meal together. Don’t you think it’s too early to say you can help?”

Melody did not answer Janet. Instead, she turned to look at Ken.

Ken also looked at her. When their eyes met, Ken finally said, “What do you have in mind?”

Melody rolled her eyes and said, “Don’t forget my father has a headhunting company. When I first came back, he taught me how to poach people. Since you’re looking for a headhunting company, why don’t you let me try? Don’t worry, if it doesn’t succeed. I won’t charge you.”

She could not talk about her previous life, so she could only use Russell’s headhunting company as an excuse.

Janet laughed from the side. “Miss Fox, you… I don’t know what to say. Even the gold headhunters on the market don’t dare to try to poach Zack easily. You’ve only learned about headhunting for a few days, but you’re already taking everything on. Aren’t you a little too confident?”

After saying that, Janet waited for Ken to show a dissatisfied expression.

This was because she knew that Ken hated conceited people the most. She felt Melody was not only conceited, but she was also smug She thought Ken would be dissatisfied with Melody

However, the next moment. Ken and expressionlessly. “Then give it a try first. I’ll give you half a month. If it succeeds, III pay you twice the commission on the market”

Janet widened her eyes in shock, unable to believe what she had just heard.

She asked. “Ken, are you sure you’ll let her try?”

“There’s no loss in trying,” said Ken casually.

But what if by accident, not only did she fail to poach Zack, but she also made Zack feel that we don’t value him and made things even more troublesome?” Janet asked worriedly

Ken said expressionlessly. “Anyway, the chances of us poaching him successfully are low. If she fails, so be it

Although he said that, for some reason, Ken had a vague feeling that if he handed the matter to Melody, there might be a turnaround.

It was probably because he did not think Melody could cure Margaret’s illness back then, but in the end, Melody did it.

Of course, Janet couldn’t guess what Ken was thinking. She just felt that Ken seemed to trust this ugly woman too much.

This trust made her feel as if she was facing a great enemy. She felt uncomfortable.

However, she immediately thought that Melody couldn’t poach Zack successfully. If he let Melody try. Ken would know how reliable Melody was.

It seemed like… this was not bad either.

At the thought of this, Janet said in a good mood, “Since you’ve said so, Miss Fox, you can go and give it a try. I’ll send you

Zack’s resume.”

“No need, thanks,” said Melody.

Chapter 100

For Ulric. Melody learned almost everything about Zack in her previous life. She knew far more than what was on his resume. So, of course, she did not need Zack’s resume… In her previous life. Zack became Ulric’s man because of her. Without her, Ken would not be able to rope Zack in.

Of course, when Janet heard these words, it sounded like Melody was arrogant and conceited.

She doesn’t even need a resume to poach him? It’ll be strange if she can succeed! Janet thought. She doesn’t even need a resume to poach him? It’ll be strange if she can succeed! Janet thought. However, in any case, the chances of them being able to poach Zack were very low. Instead of stopping Melody and doing this herself, making Ken feel she could not do everything with her ability, she might as well let Melody be this incompetent person.

Janet thought it was good that Melody wanted to stand out and was willing to dig a hole for herself.

Janet hid the joy in her eyes and said lightly. “Since you don’t need it, forget it. You can come to me whenever you need it.” Even if Melody came to her, Janet would not tell her all the information she knew about Zack anyway.

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the Fox family’s neighborhood.

“Thank you for giving me a ride. I’m leaving.” Melody nodded slightly, opened the car door, and got out.

During this time. Ken did not say a word. He did not even look at her.

However, Melody did not care and was not in a hurry. Sooner or later, Ken would know about her ability and value and take the initiative to ally with her.

This matter had progressed to a certain extent. Otherwise, if Ken hated her, he would not have registered his marriage with her only to make Margaret happy

However, there were too many things Melody had to do next.

She had to restore her appearance, treat her grandmother’s illness, snatch back the Justalion Group founded by her mother poach Zack, and take revenge.

She would be very busy with these matters. She could not waste any more time.
Melody could not help but quicken her pace.

However, when she reached the entrance of the Fox family’s villa, she deliberately slowed down. She frowned slightly and looked exhausted, looking extremely weak.

The maid cleaning outside quickly noticed her. She said in surprise, “Miss Melody, you’re back!”

Ever since the maids learned that Melody had cured Margaret’s illness, they had wondered if they should curry favor with Melody.

After all, the Swanson family would treat Melody very well in the future. Melody’s status in the Fox family would rise, and it would be easier for them to work in the Fox family if they curried favor with her.

Therefore, when the maid saw Melody now, it was as if she had seen a treasure. Her eyes lit up.

Melody had never received such treatment before.

Melody sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she nodded softly, Seeing this, the maid quickly went forward and carefully supported her. “Miss Melody, be careful of the steps.”

“Thank you.” Melody thanked her “pretentiously. This made the maid not only want to curry favor with Melody but also feel some heartache.

If it were an ordinary family, even if their daughter was ugly, they would still treat her like a treasure.

Therefore, being born into a wealthy family was not necessarily good.

Melody was discharged in the afternoon. Coincidentally, Russell had also returned from the company and was waiting for dinner in the living room.

At a glance, Melody saw Yolanda serving Russell water beside him. She looked so gentle.

She had heard from Margaret’s private maid that Russell had slapped Yolanda that day.

She thought that Yolanda and Russell’s relationship would become more distant because of that incident, but she did not expect them to become reconciled so quickly.

It was obvious that Yolanda was indeed good at coaxing men. At least, she was much better than the current Mabel.

No wonder Russell quickly married Yolanda not long after Melody’s biological mother passed away.

However, Melody did not see Mabel and her grandmother.

From the time she was locked up until she was discharged from the hospital, she had not been able to see her grandmother. She did not know how her grandmother was doing.

When Melody was not around, she knew Yolanda must have continued to poison her grandmother. Melody was afraid that the situation was not good.

Russell was eating the cherries that Yolanda had fed him. When he saw Melody enter, he quickly pushed Yolanda’s hand away and stood up. “Melody, you’re back?” Facing the current Melody, for some reason, Russell felt a trace of panic and guilt from the bottom of his heart.

This panic and guilt made it impossible for him to accept Yolanda’s gentleness in front of Melody.

However, Melody had already seen the ‘sweet scene” just now.

However, she turned a blind eye to it and nodded slightly before walking toward Russell.

She deliberately stopped walking every three seconds, looking like a seriously ill patient.

Russell felt even more guilty and regretful.

If he had known earlier, he would have waited for the Swanson family’s results before punishing Melody.

“Melody, let me help you!” Russell quickly walked to Melody’s side and pushed away the maid supporting Melody. He asked with concern, “Are you still feeling unwell? Do you want to stay in the hospital for a few more days?”

As Russell spoke, he defended himself before Melody could answer. “Don’t blame me. I’m doing this for the good of this family. You know that I’m sometimes impatient. Coupled with some people fanning the flames, I locked you up in a fit of anger.”

Yolanda’s expression darkened when she heard the words “some people fanning the flames,”

She had spent a lot of effort and even secretly drugged Russell to ease the relationship between them and escape from being grounded.

However, immediately after Melody returned. Russell brought up the past. However, she dared not say anything and could only smile awkwardly at the side.

Then Russell promised solemnly. “But don’t worry, I’ll compensate you well. From today onward, your pocket money be as much as Mabel’s. I’ll also sign you up for the training classes she attends. I’ll nurture you into a socialite like Mabel‘ I’ll let you marry into a good family!”

Melody rolled her eyes in her heart.

Her life goal was different from Mabel’s. She did not want to marry a rich man. Among these compensations, only her “pocket money” was useful to her.

However. Melody quickly realized the other meaning behind Russell’s words. What he said meant that even if she had displayed her medical skills, she was still inferior to Mabel in Russell’s heart.

Russell still planned to arrange the engagement with the Swanson family for Mabel.

However, from the looks of it, Russell and the others did not know that she had already registered her marriage with Ken.

It was good that they did not know. Now was not the time to expose these things.

The marriage certificate was equivalent to a trump card that could not be exposed when there was no need.

Melody had already thought of a long list of things in her heart, but she did not forget to nod on the surface and say with an innocent expression. Thank you, Dad. I won’t blame you. I know you’re doing this for the sake of this family. Besides, we’re family. How can I blame you? If I blame you. I’ll be an unfilial daughter. The Fox family could reach our current position: because of my mother and you. So, no matter how you punished me back then. I won’t blame you.”.
