Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 121, 122, 123, 124 & 125)

Chapter 121

As Melody walked toward the man, she said disdainfully, “Your subordinates suck. They can’t even defeat a weak girl like me, Looks like you need to do it yourself. However, I can choose not to hit you. You only need to tell me who the employer who instructed you to cut my hands is.”

At the mention of his employer, the man finally recovered from his shock.

He was quite satisfied with the price the other party offered. If he could not successfully bring this ugly woman’s hands back, he would not be able to get the money!

For money, the man gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. “No way! Damn girl, don’t court death!”

After that, the man took a retractable dagger from his pocket and pounced on Melody.

With the dagger in his hand, the man was very confident, and thinking. After all, even if this ugly monster does have some skills, it’s impossible for her to defeat me barehanded. I had not intended to take this woman’s life, but now, she has infuriated me.‘

The man pounced forward and aimed the dagger at Melody’s heart.

However, just as he thought that he was going to stab Melody, the girl who was originally standing still suddenly dodged quickly.

The speed was so fast that he missed before he could react.

By the time he reacted. Melody had already appeared behind him.

“You…” Before he could turn around, Melody kicked him in the back of the knee

His subconscious physical reaction made him kneel on the ground. His knee hit the asphalt floor, and it was so painful that he saw stars.

However, that was not all. Melody snatched the dagger in his hand away at some point.

By the time the pain subsided a little, Melody had already placed the dagger on his neck.

The cold and sharp touch made him not dare to move. He said with a trembling voice. “Spare me! Beauty, spare me!”

“You don’t know what’s good for you!” Melody stared at the man coldly and said. “I can give you another choice. Tell me who your employer is, or… I’ll cut your throat directly! In any case, this path is deserted. Even if you die, no one will discover you for half a month. By the time they discover you, your corpse might have already decomposed… Have you seen the index of corpse transformation? I think that in half a month, you will be prettier than you are now.”

The man was so frightened that his lips started to turn pale. He said with a trembling voice. “No! No! Please don’t kill me. I’m just doing what others paid me to do..”

“Cut the crap! Are you going to tell me or not?” Melody pressed the dagger closer to the man’s throat, and a trace of blood immediately seeped out of his dark skin.

The man who felt the pain screamed, “Alright! I’ll say it!”

Melody raised her eyebrows. “Tell me! Who hired you?”

The man said in a panic. “In our line of work, we all wear masks and don’t reveal our real names.”
Melody narrowed her eyes. “So you can’t tell me anything? Huh? “No, no, no…” The man quickly said, “Although I don’t know his exact information, I can tell from his clothes that he’s a doctor! He’s wearing a doctor’s surgical gown under his jacket. I’ve had appendicitis surgery before, so I recognize it. Miss, you can think about it yourself. Did you offend anyone who’s a doctor!”

“A doctor…” Melody lowered her eyes and counted the doctors she had offended in this life.

After all, nothing like this had happened in her previous life, so she could only guess.

But soon, Melody locked onto a person.

The vice director of Silverlake Hospital.

This person didn’t like her from the beginning. He insisted that she was a female liar.

After she cured Margaret, he must have hated her to the core.

If he were the one who got someone to ask for her hands, everything would make sense.

At the thought of this, Melody narrowed her eyes dangerously. I’m not an idiot whom everyone can bully. He dared to want my hands, right? I’ll make him pay the price!‘

Melody threw away the dagger in her hand and suddenly raised her hand to slash at the back of the man’s neck.

The man groaned and his eyes rolled back. He fell to the ground and fainted.

Melody used the same method to deal with the others. She only heaved a sigh of relief when everyone was knocked out unconscious.

She had not exercised for a long time and her stamina was not as good as before.

However, at this moment, Melody suddenly realized what the few people on the ground had in common.

All of them had a black tattoo on the back of their hands. The tattoo was none other than a wolf’s head.

She had seen this wolf’s head before.

When she went to the black market, she saw the same wolf head printed on the pass.

It seemed this was an assassin hired by the vice director in the black market.

Unfortunately, the abilities of these killers were not enough to threaten her at all.

Just as Melody was about to settle the score with the vice director another group of men in black appeared at the alley’s entrance.

“Could it be that the vice director hired two groups of assassins? Melody wondered. However, Melody immediately denied this guess because the aura this group of assassins emitted was dangerous. They were on a completely different level from those people just now,

This group also had tattoos on their arms, but they were of a different color.

Could it be that the color represents the assassin’s level! Before Melody could figure it out, that group of people did not say a word and rushed toward her.

Melody hurriedly dodged, but even if she successfully dodged, her arm was still cut by the dagger in the other party’s hand.

She narrowed her eyes and became serious. She used all her attention and strength to fight the other party. After a few rounds, Melody still had the upper hand.

Her expression did not change, but she was a little nervous.

There were so many of them. And they were all very skilled. Melody wouldn’t always keep the upper hand if they continued to fight like this.

She had no choice but to pretend to be relaxed and say, “It seems that the quality of the assassins in the black market is average. The price is so high, but they’re trash!”

The man at the head stopped and suddenly waved his hand. “Retreat!”

A few seconds later, the group of men in black disappeared from the alley.

Melody sighed in relief. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

She was betting just now.

She deliberately led the other party to think that she also had a pass to the black market, betting that these people would not attack those who also had a pass to the black market.

Fortunately, she had made the right bet…

It seemed that the pass card not only had the function of a key but also a protective function

She couldn’t help but wonder who sent these people here.

It couldn’t be the vice director. He wouldn’t hire two groups of people with different abilities.”

Melody did not stay on the spot any longer, lest someone who was a threat to her appeared again.

She left quickly and took a taxi to Silverlake Hospital.

However, when she arrived at Silverlake Hospital, Melody learned the deputy director had been fired long ago because of Ken.

She thought about it and decided to call Ken.

Chapter 122

The call was quickly picked up.

Melody knew he might be busy, so she did not waste any time and went straight to the point. “I met assassins today. The deputy director of Silverlake Hospital hired them to do it.”

Ken’s voice came through the phone. “Where are you? Are you hurt?”

Melody seemed to hear nervousness in his voice.

She couldn’t help but wonder, Does he care about me? No, he must be afraid that Margaret will be sad if something happens to me.

Melody stopped letting her imagination run wild and replied, “I’m fine. I’m at the entrance of Silverlake Hospital now. I originally wanted to settle scores with the deputy director, but I only found out when I arrived that the deputy director had been fired”

Ken said seriously over the phone, “Don’t run around now, Stand in a crowded place in the hospital and wait. I’ll pick you up now.

“Okay…” Melody replied. For some reason, when she heard Ken’s voice, she felt more at ease.

On the other side.

Mabel’s heart ached as she put the bank card into her pocket at the socialite training class’s gate.

This was her first time going to the black market. She was terrified when she went. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. She even hired the most expensive assassin and almost used up all the pocket money she had saved over the past few years.

But she felt it was worth it. As long as Melody disappears, not to mention spending my pocket money, it is worth it even if I need to borrow money from others.

Mabel raised her head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky. She felt so happy.

When she returned home after class, she would probably receive the good news that Melody was dead.

At the thought of this, Mabel’s mood became even better. She hummed along the way to the training class

When she pushed open the door of the training class, she realized that the etiquette teacher was already introducing today’s guest to the other socialites.

This guest was none other than Janet.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the etiquette teacher and Janet looked at Mabel synchronously,

The etiquette teacher looked displeased, but when she saw it was Mabel, she put away her dark expression.

Mabel was the top socialite in Silverlake last year and her favorite student. Hence, the etiquette teacher did not flare up on the spot and only asked, “Mabel, why are you here so late?”

Mabel quickly apologized and explained, Tm sorry. Something happened at home. As you know, my sister just returned from the countryside. She doesn’t understand many things, so I was delayed and accidentally arrived late. I’m sorry! I promise it won’t happen again.”

At the mention of Melody, the etiquette teacher could not help but frown in disdain.

She had already heard a lot about Melody from these socialites. It was said that she was shockingly ugly.

However, not only was she ugly, but she was also uncourteous and rude. She often bullied Mabel.

If such a girl came to her class, she would chase her out immediately.

“Go in and take a seat. The etiquette teacher nodded sympathetically. Then, she did not forget to remind her, “I know you’ve always been a kind girl, but you still have to prioritize what’s more important. Try your best to let the maids take care of your sister. You don’t have to do it for her all the time. Otherwise, she’ll only drag you down. Do you understand?”

Mabel pretended to be troubled and nodded. Then, she nodded at Janet and sat down obediently.

However, Janet was puzzled as she raised her eyebrows, thinking. A sister who has just returned from the countryside? Why does it sound so much like Melody?‘

Just as she wondered if it was a coincidence, Janet heard the etiquette teacher say, “Janet, don’t mind her. Mabel didn’t mean to be late. She’s also pitiful. She has a sister from the countryside called Melody. Recently, because of that sister, she has a lot of things to do at home….

Hearing this, the corners of Jane’s lips curled up in amusement. It’s indeed Melody! What a coincidence!

She looked at Mabel appraisingly and realized that the sisters were worlds apart

‘One of them has an elegant posture. Although her looks can not compare to mine, she is already considered top-notch among the socialites in Silverlake. As for the other, well Janet thought in disgust.

However, Janet soon realized that something was wrong.

She could tell Mabel… was pretending to be a victim.

The relationship between the sisters must be bad. If that’s the case.. it’ll be interesting. With that in mind, Janet looked away and introduced herself again. She also cooperated with the etiquette teacher to give the socialites a nonchalant etiquette lesson. Throughout the entire process, she observed Mabel from time to time.

As expected, she realized Mabel was not a kind girl like the etiquette teacher had said.

On the contrary, Mabel was scheming.

This further proved that the sisters were not on good terms.

If the sisters were close, why would Mabel mention that Melody Came from the countryside?

This was clearly to deepen everyone’s bad impression of Melody

Janet smirked coldly. Then, a plan quickly flashed through her mind.

Soon, the class ended. Just as she was about to find an opportunity to talk to Mabel alone, Janet saw Mabel coming up with two cups of coffee.

“Ms. Murphy, I went to buy coffee just now. Do you want one?” Mabel asked.

Thank you. I was just about to get a cup of coffee. After a pause, Janet said, “I heard that the scenery on the top floor here is good. Do you want to go take a look together?”

“Sure!” Mabel was overjoyed.

She had been worried that she would not have the chance to get close to Janet Now, her chance had come!

Ms. Murphy is not that difficult to get close to. I’ll definitely “take her down” soon! Mabel thought confidently.

Mabel and Janet had different thoughts. They quickly arrived at the top floor.

This building had a total of 35 floors. Standing on this tall building, everything below became small.

Janet looked into the distance and sighed. “I haven’t been back to Silverlake for a long time. The changes here are greater than I imagined”

“Are you from Silverlake?” Mabel was surprised. She said. “I heard from our etiquette teacher that you’re from Instermond”

Janet smiled “My father is from Insterimond, but my mother is from Silverlake. I stayed here for a while when I was young.

I see Mabel understood. Then, she smiled and said. “Ms. Murphy, I don’t know why, but when I first saw you, I felt that we hit it off very well. You haven’t been back to Silverlake for a long time. So, you might be unfamiliar with many places here. If you don’t mind. I can be your guide.”

“That would be great. I’m just afraid of troubling you,” said Janet,

“It’s not troublesome!” Mabel quickly said. “It’s summer vacation now. The school hasn’t started yet. I have a lot of time.

I see. Then I’ll ask you out when I have time. Then, Janet looked like she had thought of something and said, “In a few days, one of my mom’s friends will be celebrating her fiftieth birthday. She’s holding a birthday party. You can come with me then. Oh right, remember to bring your sister along. From your tone, you two seem to be on good terms. Didn’t she come back from the countryside? I can teach her some etiquette by then

When Mabel heard this, her expression could not help but stiffen

She did not want to bring Melody along to socialize!

However. Mabel thought again. The assassin I hired might have succeeded by now. When the time comes, I can’t bring a dead person to a birthday party, can I?

At the thought of this. Mabel smiled and agreed. “Okay, I’ll bring my sister along”

Chapter 123

Seeing that she had agreed, Janet could not help but smile.

She pretended to remind Mabel kindly, “By the way, there’s a taboo in her family. She can’t see dogs or anything similar to dogs. Her mother got bitten by a wild dog and fell ill with rabies. In the end, she passed away.”

When Mabel heard this, she quickly nodded. “Don’t worry, Miss Murphy. I’ll remember it!”

Janet nodded briefly, took a luxury brooch from her body, handed it to Mabel, and said, “We hit it off very well. It is my gift to you. I hope we can become good friends in the future.”

“Thank you! Miss Murphy, we will become good friends!” said Mabel.

“Since we’re friends in the future, don’t call me Miss Murphy. Just call me Janet.”

“Okay, and you can call me Mabel. Mabel pretended to be calm on the surface, but she had already become extremely excited

She had wanted to curry favor with Janet, but she did not expect Janet to give her a greeting gift so easily and become friends with her.

However, Mabel’s disguise was seen through at a glance by Janet.

She had the mockery in her eyes and revealed a peaceful smile. Very good. I’ve planted two baits with Mabel and can’t wait for the fish to take the bait!

At that time, she would see whether Melody could come. However, it did not matter if Mabel did not bring Melody along. She would get Fairlee to send an invitation directly to the Fox family. She could lure Melody to the Lawrence family’s birthday party no matter what.

At that time, she wanted Melody’s reputation to be ruined!

At the same time, at the entrance of Silverlake Hospital.

Melody and Ken were not idle either.

The 8 million dollars she had obtained from Janet was not spent because she had yet to gain the trust of Herbathrive.

And this money had to be put to the greatest use.

She looked at the latest development in Silverlake on her phone With the advantage of “living once again, she bought ten houses in the same building without hesitation.

The real estate salesperson immediately called and warmly welcomed her to the real estate center to sign the property purchase contract.

Houses in Silverlake were easy to be sold. However, because the building Melody chose was located in Silverlake’s least economically developed and most inaccessible area, even if the price was low, there were not many buyers because people were not optimistic about this building.

Melody held her phone and replied calmly, “Okay, I’ll come over to sign the contract when I have time.

After she finished the call, a tall man rushed over against the light, and his shadow covered her face.

Ken’s beautiful eyes were filled with darkness. Unlike Ulric, Ken bad dark and sharp eyes. They fused with his aura, making him look even colder.

However, Melody knew that he was not a cold person deep down. On the contrary, Ulric, who had soulful blue eyes, was the real heartless one.

“There you are.” Melody took a few steps forward. Seeing that he was looking at her, she quickly spread her arms and said, Tm not lying to you. I’m not injured.”

Ken retracted his gaze and said calmly. “Get in the car first.”

Melody nodded. After getting into the car, she did not forget to ask, “Where is the deputy director now?”

She believed that she was a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Since the other party wanted both of her hands, she naturally would not let that deputy director have an easy time!

Ken stopped walking and said, “You don’t need to know where he is now.”

“Why?” Melody asked in confusion.

As soon as she finished speaking, the radio in the car rang. “This is an urgent news break. The former deputy director of Silverlake Hospital was investigated for taking bribes in private and colluding with medical equipment agencies. He committed suicide by jumping off a building at home. When he was discovered, he no longer had any vital signs….

Hearing the content of the radio, Melody could not help but look at Ken again.

However, he did not react at all. He drove the car away from the hospital expressionlessly.

You Melody opened her mouth again but realized she did not know what to say

After two seconds of silence, Melody decided not to mention the deputy director anymore.

Regardless of whether it was true that the deputy director committed suicide by jumping off a building, it was enough for Melody to know this result. There was no need to pursue the reason.

For adults, the process was the least important.

She was silent for two seconds before saying, “Actually, I met two groups of killers today. I can confirm one group was from the deputy director. Their skills are average, and I dealt with them in a few moves. But I’m not sure who sent the other group. Those people were quite skilled. If I had continued to fight them, I might not have been able to escape…

Ken slowed down when he heard that.

Melody continued, “However, what I can be sure of is that these two groups of people are from the black market in Silverlake. They have wolf–head tattoos on their arms. Coincidentally, I had the chance to enter the black market. So I could recognize them”

As she spoke. Melody paused and asked, “Do you know about the black market in Silverlake?”
Ken looked at her with a complicated expression.

Before Melody could finish, Ken asked, “What color is the wolf–lead tattoo on those people’s arms?”

Dark red Melody replied.

“Wait for a second,” Ken said as he pulled over and made a call.

“Help me find out whose order the Crimson Team took on today,” said Ken.

Melody was even more puzzled when she heard Ken’s call The Crimson Team? Is he referring to the second batch of killers who tried to kill me today? Melody wondered.

Not long after, Ken hung up and turned to look at her. I found it The person who hired the Crimson Team to kill you.

Mabel Fox.

“Mabel?” Melody could not help but raise her voice slightly.

This outcome was beyond her expectations, but it made sense.

She had performed better than Mabel at the birthday party and cured Margaret’s illness. Coupled with Russell’s care for her now, it was normal for Mabel to see her as someone she had to get rid of

However, Melody was sure that Yolanda was not aware of this

Based on how much Yolanda doted on Mabel, she wouldn’t let Mabel hire an assassin on the black market.

“Mabel Melody narrowed her eyes coldly. Looks like I have to speed up.”

“Speed up on what?” Ken’s voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Only then did Melody remember that there was someone beside her. She smiled dryly and waved her hand. “Nothing. By the way, how did you find out?”

Ken looked at her deeply and said casually, “Because I own the black market,”

“What?” Three large exclamation marks appeared above Melody’s head. So the big shot of the black market is actually by my side? And this big shot is my registered husband? How small this world is!”

“Surprised?” Ken looked at her meaningfully and asked, “Do you still think I’m a good person now?”

Melody was speechless.

If he hadn’t said it, she would have forgotten that she had said he was a good person.

“Ahem!” Melody coughed dryly and rubbed her hands as she asked obsequiously. “Mr. Swanson, can you give me a pass since I’m your wife?”

Chapter 124

When Melody called herself Ken’s “wife,” she looked nonchalant because she had never taken their marriage seriously.

After all, she did not have any romantic feelings for Ken.

When Margaret found a more suitable candidate, she and Ken could get a divorce at any time. Therefore, she only said the word “wife” for joking

However, when Ken heard the word, he somehow felt something strange.

However, he quickly regained his usual cold expression and asked indifferently, “What do you want the pass for? No matter what you went to the black market for last time, there’s no need to go there again in the future.”

“I have no choice. Melody spread her hands and said. “Your black market has too many rare medicinal herbs unavailable on the regular market. Please give me one.”

As Melody spoke, she added, “I don’t have the money to buy a pass now, but I won’t let you lose out. Let me tell you a business opportunity. Buy as many houses as you can in Eastern Garden.”

“Eastern Garden?” Ken raised his eyebrows slightly and revealed an expression that said, “Are you kidding me?”

“That’s right, Eastern Garden” Melody looked firm.

Ken glanced at her and said, “Don’t tell me you used all 8 million dollars to buy a house in Eastern Garden.

“That’s right. I bought ten sets and haven’t had time to sign them yet,” said Melody.

Ken was stunned again. Then, he frowned and said, “Since you haven’t signed the contract, don’t buy it. It’s located in the suburbs of Silverlake. It’s inconvenient in all aspects, and the property price has been falling. As far as I know, this building has been on sale for a long time and hasn’t been sold out until now, which means there’s no prospect

“No,” Melody said firmly, “Believe me. I won’t frame you.

“Up to you.” Ken threw her a pass and said expressionlessly. “If you lose everything, don’t come crying to me.”

Melody pursed her lips and muttered inwardly, ‘If you don’t believe me, forget it. The housing price will increase very quickly, and it will soar!

It was a pity she did not have more money to buy houses. Otherwise, she would buy all the ones available.

With this thought in mind, Melody lowered her head to look at the pass that Ken had thrown at her. She saw that it still had the iconic wolf head of the black market on it, but the color was red

“This Why is the color different?” Melody asked.

Ken glanced at her. “Just take it. If any assassins from the black market come looking for you in the future, just take out this card. Then, they won’t hurt you.

“Okay… Melody nodded. It was fine as long as she could enter the black market.

As for those assassins, it was true that she had not trained in her new life. Otherwise, even if a few more people from the Crimson Team came, she could still deal with them.

The car arrived at the Fox family’s house in the blink of an eye.
Ken said concisely, “Go back and pack your things. From today coward, you’ll stay with my grandmother in the Swanson family’s house.”

Melody was stunned and quickly refused. “No need… I’m fine staying at home. Moreover, I have to treat my grandmother’s illness and can’t leave. Besides, I’m afraid Astrid will kill me if I stay at the Swanson family’s house.”

She had too many things to do recently and did not have the time to deal with Astrid for the time being.

Moreover, Ulric lived in the Swanson family’s residence. She was afraid that she would kill Ulric without caring about the consequences.

Ken frowned again when he heard what she said. He said coldly, Up to you!”

Melody glanced at Ken and knew that he was angry.

“Ken is rich but has a bad temper, but I can’t leave now and can’t go to the Swanson family, Melody thought.

Hence, Melody only thanked him before opening the car door and leaving

However, when she got out of the car, she saw two men in black standing not far away from her.

Just as she was wondering if these two people were also killers, she heard Ken’s voice coming from the car. “They’re my people. They’ll ensure your safety

“Thank you, but I don’t think I need… Before she could finish her sentence, Ken’s car had already left, leaving behind a trail of exhaust fumes.

“Ahem…” Melody covered her nose and coughed.

The two bodyguards happened to walk to her. “Miss Fox, we were sent by Mr. Ken to protect you. If you have any orders, feel free to instruct us

“I do have an order.” Melody poked the biceps of one of the bodyguards and nodded in satisfaction. “I usually don’t have any trouble, so I don’t need you most of the time. How about this? When my life isn’t in danger, please don’t appear. Otherwise, it will be too eye-catching.

“Got it! Miss Fox“” The two bodyguards bowed slightly to her and turned to leave. Soon, they disappeared into the darkness. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see them at all.

Only then did Melody feel relieved. She carried the herbs into the back door of the villa.

She couldn’t announce that she was treating Maria for the time being, so she avoided people as much as possible.

Fortunately, she did not encounter anyone on the way to the backyard. She successfully brought the medicinal herbs to Maria’s room.
Maria slept most of the time and was awake for only a while recently. When Melody entered, Maria was still unconscious.

When Hattie saw her return, she stepped forward to wake Maria up.

“Don’t.” Melody quickly stopped Hattie and said, “Wake Grandma up after the medicine is ready–She’s weak now, so it won’t hurt to sleep a little longer.”

“Okay,” Hattie nodded repeatedly, believing Melody’s words without a doubt,

Melody walked around Maria’s room and used the testing software she had created to confirm no bugs or cameras were there. Then, she started to prepare the medicine in the room in peace,

When the medicine was ready, Maria happened to wake up.

After Maria drank a bowl of medicine, Melody sighed in relief. Her medicine could not only cure Maria’s illness of not being able to take care of herself, but it could also dissolve the mercury sulfide inside her body.

It wouldn’t take long for Maria to recover.

However, the damage caused by the poison was irreversible. Even if Maria recovered, she would still have to keep taking traditional medicine. However, compared to now, the side effects of the remaining poison were almost negligible.

After Maria took the medicine, she fell asleep again not long after.

Soon, the sky began to darken.

Just as they were about to have dinner, the phone in Melody’s pocket rang.

Melody took out her phone and looked at it. She realized the ringing phone was not hers but from the maid Yolanda had planted in Maria’s room.

She immediately turned on the phone with interest and saw Yolanda’s message. I left the stuff in the usual place. Remember to pick it up tonight.]

The usual place? Melody scrolled through the chat history and quickly found “the usual place.”

It was under a pot of aloe vera in the backyard.

She followed the maid’s chatting habits and replied, “Got it.”

After that, Yolanda asked about Maria again.

Melody continued to talk about Maria’s recent situation according to the maid’s chatting habits. [Mrs. Maria’s condition is not very good. She can barely take care of herself. She pooped in bed twice today.]

Chapter 125

The maid often added punctuation when sending messages, and Melody did the same.

After sending it, Yolanda did not send another message, but Melody could guess Yolanda’s current expression.

She must be very pleased with herself.

However, God was watching. How could there be so many secrets in this world that would never be revealed?

She pursed her lips coldly. Thinking that Mabel should be back by now, Melody greeted Hattie and walked from the backyard to the living room.

On the way, Melody suddenly received a transfer of 4 million dollars. The person who transferred it to her was Ken Melody sent Ken a question mark in confusion.

Ken quickly replied: [Mabel gave it to the Crimson Team. The Crimson Team didn’t complete the mission, so this money is for you.]

[Thank you Mr. Swanson!] Melody quickly typed on her phone.

On the other end of the phone, when Ken saw the reply, he did not even notice the rare smile on his lips.

Melody put down her phone and narrowed her eyes slightly.

4 million dollars… To Mabel, this was all her pocket money.

“I can’t believe she was willing to spend so much money just to kill me. Unfortunately, Mabel would never have thought this money would end up in my hands, With that in mind, Melody could not help but smile. She began to think about how to spend the 4 million dollars properly so that this money could help her make more money as fast as possible.

At the same time, at the entrance of the Fox villa.

Mabel had just finished her dance training class,

During this period, she had to learn etiquette and take the coffee making course in the morning, dance in the afternoon, and musical instruments in the afternoon. When she returned home at night, she had to prepare for the next semester’s textbooks. She had her hands full..

But even so, she enjoyed it.

She didn’t mind attending more tuition classes to be more worthy of Ulric

However, Mabel was in a good mood today. On the way back in the car, she hummed a song.

When she got home, she might be able to receive the good news from her mother that Melody had disappeared from this world.

“Oh, no, the killers would choose a more secretive place. Perhaps Mom and Dad don’t even know that Melody is dead. They’ll think Melody is wandering outside and has not returned home yet. Well, I wondered if Melody’s corpse had already decomposed when found, Mabel thought and smiled. Before she opened the car door and got out, she even said to the driver, “Thank you for your hard work.”
The middle-aged man who had been Mabel’s chauffeur at that time widened his eyes in shock when he heard Mabel’s words. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time Mabel had appreciated him.

The middle-aged driver hurriedly said in fear, “You’re welcome, and it’s my honor. This is what I should do”

Mabel smiled gently and bent as she got out of the car.

At this moment, Russell returned from the company.

Mabel noticed he did not look too good and guessed that something might have happened to the company. She quickly walked over and asked, “Dad, you’re back. How’s the company’s situation now?”

Russell shook his head. He was unwilling to discuss this with his daughter. He only said concisely. “There’s a small problem, but it’s not a big deal”

However, only Russell knew that the Justalion Group was in a big double.

A batch of newly designed clothes of the Justalion Group had been exposed online as plagiarizing other designers.

He needed to sue the other party and push all the responsibility to the designer to protect the Justalion Group’s reputation. However, none of this was a big problem. The problem was that the Justalion Group’s clothes were deteriorating because he had no design inspiration and could not hire good fashion designers.

Seeing Russell was unwilling to say more, Mabel dared not ask further.

She smiled and said, “Dad, I’ll graduate next year. When I graduate, I’ll come to the company to be a designer and design popular clothes for the company”

When Russell heard Mabel’s words, he remembered that Mabel majored in fashion design. Moreover, her results in school! had always been good and she had won some competitions. She indeed had potential.

He was so focused on marrying Mabel into the Swanson family that he almost forgot about this matter.

If Mabel had this ability, he wouldn’t have to be so worried.

When Russell thought of this, his expression softened. He revealed a kind fatherly smile. “You’ve worked hard recently. Remember to strike a balance between work and rest. Don’t let yourself be too tired. You know that I have the greatest expectations for you.”

Mabel immediately understood what he meant.

In other words, no matter how much concern her father showed to Melody now, he only cared about Mabel.

Mabel was delighted. She smiled humbly and said, “Thank you for your concern, Dad. I’ll try my best

After Mabel finished speaking, she heard a crisp female voice coming from the door. “Dad”

Hearing the word “Dad“, Mabel’s back stiffened. “Isn’t this voice… Melody’s? With the question in her mind, Mabel looked at the door in disbelief and met Melody’s cold eyes.

How, how is this possible? Melody should be dead now. Could it be that Melody’s ghost has come to take my life! In an instant, Mabel was so frightened that she retreated repeatedly and even exclaimed. “No…”

Russell looked at Mabel in confusion and asked, “Mabel, what’s wrong?”

He wondered why Mabel looked like she had seen a ghost. Although this eldest daughter of mine is indeed ugly, this is not the first time Mabel has seen Melody While Russell was puzzled, the smile on Melody’s lips at the door slowly widened.

She had long known that Mabel would have such a reaction, so she had been waiting at the door. However, she accidentally heard Russell’s words.

She had never agreed to stay in the Swanson family’s residence because she wanted to destroy Yolanda and Mabel.

However, she had always been a little soft-hearted toward Russell. After all, he was her biological father. They were related by blood.

But now that she heard Russell’s words, she sobered up a little. No matter how much she had suffered in the past, Russell only cared about Mabel. Or rather, to him, benefits were the most important.

Moreover, if Russell had not had an ambiguous relationship with Yolanda outside, Yolanda would not have wanted to marry into the Fox family, let alone cause Melody’s mother to die tragically on the production table.

In the end, the instigator of everything was Russell.

Melody quickly hid the cold glint in her eyes and pretended to be hurt as she walked forward. I’m sorry, Dad. I was too ugly and scared my sister…”

As she spoke, a tear welled up in her eye. She looked extremely guilty.

“Don’t say that… Russell talked barefaced nonsense. “Melody, you are not bad–looking. It’s just that you’re in puberty now, and you have more acne on your face. When the acne is gone, you’ll be a beauty. Your sister is frightened because she’s naturally prone to be shocked.”
