Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 136, 137, 138, 139 & 140) 

Chapter 136

However, after the voice sounded, no one opened the door for a long time.

Melody knew the reason, but she was not in a hurry. She just stood there patiently.

About three to four minutes later, a sound came from behind the door. With a creak, the wooden door was pulled open. Behind the door stood an old man with white hair and a walking stick.

The old man stared at Melody and asked in confusion, “Young lady, did you come to the wrong place?”

Melody greeted him politely and gently, “Hello, sir. I didn’t come to the wrong place. I’m here to see you.”

“See me?” The old man frowned. “Is it some hunter company looking for my grandson? Let me tell you, that child is very stubborn. Don’t even think about it”

“Hunter?” Melody quickly reacted and said with a smile, “You mean a headhunting company, right?”

It seemed like Zack had already told the old man that if these people came, he would reject them all.

The old man tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, “Yes, yes, it’s a headhunter. No matter if it’s a hunter or a headhunter, it’s impossible. Go back.”

The old man was about to close the door.

Melody hurriedly went forward to block the door and said, “Sir, I’m not from a headhunting company. Have you heard of the Herbathrive! I’m an employee there.”

“Herbathrive?” The old man’s expression softened a little. He did not close the door but invited Melody in.

After entering the door, she saw a small courtyard that was very clean. There were many beautiful birds.

There was also a well in the courtyard, making the sultry air seem much cooler

The old man invited her to sit on a stone bench by the well and sat opposite her. He asked, “I know about the Herbathrive. I went there before to get checked, but I never recovered, so I stopped going Why did they ask you to come? I remember my grandson saying that he had already paid for my medical fees.

k through your medical records and realized

“It’s not about the medical fees, Melody smiled and said, “I happened to that the doctor’s prescription for your diagnosis at that time was not good. He missed a few medicines, so I came to give you a follow–up. I hope I can help you.

“You? Give me a follow–up” The old man looked incredulous. “The youngest doctor in your Herbathrive is your boss. You’re so young… and you actually are a doctor?”

“Don’t look down on me.” Melody raised her head and lied through her teeth. “My master is the boss of our Herbathrive. I learned medicine from him since I was young, and now I’ve graduated. My medical skills are not inferior to the doctor who treated you back then.”

The old man hesitated for a moment. In the end, he waved his hand and said. “There’s no need. Although my waist hurts, I’m already used to it. Instead of spending money for nothing, it’s better to suffer like this.”

“Don’t worry,” Melody said. “It was our Herbathrive’s mistake last time, so we won’t charge you a single cent for the diagnosis and medical fees this time. We’ll treat you for free.

Upon hearing the word “free“, the old man was finally willing to look her in the eye. “It’s really free? Not a single cent?”

Melody smiled and said, “It’s not like you haven’t been to Herbathrive before. We’re such a big place. Why would we cheat you of your money!”

“That’s true…” The old man nodded. After thinking for a while, he finally agreed. “Alright, treat me!”

Melody nodded and flipped open the diagnosis book she had printed at the headhunting company. “The last time you came to see a doctor, the doctor diagnosed you with arthritis, so most of the prescriptions were to help with that, right!”

As Melody finished speaking, the old man looked at her with more trust.

He nodded. “That’s right.”

Hearing this, Melody heaved a sigh of relief.

She had said all this based on her memories from her previous life. Just now, she was worried that she had remembered wrongly, but now, looking at the old man’s reaction, she should not have remembered wrongly.

She closed the diagnosis and took out some equipment. “Let me check your current body first.”

The old man stretched out his hand cooperatively.

At this moment, footsteps sounded at the door.

Melody thought it was Zack, but when she turned around, she realized that it was James. “Miss Fox, this is…

Melody gave James a look to signal him to stop talking. Then, she turned around and introduced him to the old man. “This is my colleague. He’s also from the Herbathrive. Alright, I’ll check your body.

The old man nodded and extended his hand again.

James, who was at the door, was confused. However, he was someone who worked with Ken after all. He quickly reacted and walked to Melody’s side.

After about a minute, Melody stopped the machine and said, “I roughly know, but I still need to verify it. Can you stand up straight?”

“This… The old man said awkwardly, “It’s not that I don’t want to cooperate with you, but my back hurts when I straighten

“Alright” Melody smiled and said, “You’ve already cooperated”

“What?” The old man looked puzzled. I haven’t stood up yet…”

“You don’t have to stand up, Melody explained. The reason why you can’t bend over is because of the arthritis. In your case, it’s because you can’t straighten your back. This isn’t caused by arthritis but by a cold.”

The man said, “Cold? I don’t have a cold…

Melody said I’m not talking about a cold. I’m talking about you being in a cold environment for too long. You must have caught a cold before your back hurt, right?”

“That’s strange!” The old man’s eyes lit up as he looked at her and said. “I didn’t tell anyone about this, but you actually know! Looks like you’ve really learned something from your boss! Looks like the skill of traditional medicine has nothing to do with age

Beside him, James also looked at Melody in surprise.

However, when he thought about how she was the one who cured Margaret’s illness, James was not too surprised. He was just puzzled as to who this old woman was. “Thank you.” Melody did not notice James’s expression and said to the old man calmly, “Can you tell me how you caught cold?”

The old man trusted Melody very much now. He looked behind the half-open door and retracted his gaze. “You must not tell my grandson!”

Melody nodded. I’ll keep it a secret.”

James nodded cooperatively.

Only then did the old man say. “Actually, one day, I was sweeping the fallen leaves by the well and accidentally dropped the jade pendant my grandson bought for me into the well. The kid didn’t mention the price, but I know it must be expensive. At that time, my body was still nimble. In addition, the well in the courtyard was not deep, so I followed the rope down the well to find the jade pendant. I didn’t expect that after finding the jade pendant, I wouldn’t have the strength to climb up. It was the people buying groceries in the alley who passed by and heard me shout, so they got someone to fish me out. After that, my waist started hurting, and I didn’t dare to tell my grandson.”

Melody had never heard of this in her previous life because Zack had been by her side when she had diagnosed the old man in her previous life.

In this life, she chose the time when Zack wasn’t around. She didn’t expect it to be like this.

She frowned and said, “No matter how expensive a jade pendant is, it’s not as important as your health. It’s just that you’re lucky that someone passed by and saved you. Think about it. What if no one finds out? You will be dead. Then your grandson will definitely be very sad.

When Melody heard the old man’s words, she subconsciously put herself in the shoes of Zach, so she could not help but feel emotional.

The old man coughed dryly and muttered, “Why are you more long-winded than my grandson…”

Melody heard it clearly and said helplessly, Tm not being long-winded. I’m just worried about you. If something like this happens again in the future, you can’t take the risk. No matter how expensive something is, it’s not as precious as life. Do you understand?

“That’s right. You can’t risk your life, James couldn’t help but remind him.

The old man sighed. “I know, I know. You young people are getting better at teaching your elders a lesson.”

Melody said, “…”

“Alright, alright.” The old man seemed to be afraid of being nagged. He waved his hand and said. I’ll remember it, I really will. Then tell me, how should I be treated in my situation?”

Melody said, “I will give you the prescription right now. If the diagnosis is right from the beginning, you’ll be fine after having the medicine for a week. However, it’s been a long time since your waist relapsed, so I will add more medicine to the prescription. You have to take it daily for a week. After that, I will give you a new prescription. I also have to give you physical therapy during this time. After half a month, you will recover.”

“Half a month? That fast?” the old man asked in surprise.

Melody nodded and said, “If you still don’t believe in my medical skills, can you cooperate with me for half a month?”

The old man said, “Why wouldn’t I believe you? You knew that I had caught a cold in a short period of time. Your medical skills must be very good…

Melody nodded and said, “There’s one more thing I need your cooperation with.”

The old man said, “Tell me,” Melody said, “Don’t tell your grandson before you cure your disease. He lost his trust in Herbathrive last time because we couldn’t cure you. I’ll let him know after you are recovered.”

Chapter 137

The old man agreed to Melody’s request without thinking. “Don’t worry, I won’t tell him. That kid is always worried that I will be deceived. If I tell him about you, he might think that you’re a liar. So, in order, to make him nag at me less, I’ll definitely promise not to tell him!”

Melody could not help but laugh. “You….”

The old man was exactly the same as in her previous life. He was simply an old urchin.

The old man said, “By the way, young doctor, I still don’t know your name?”

Melody said. Just call me Melody

The old man said, “Okay, Melody, just call me Ford.”

Melody said, “Alright, Ford. I’ll prepare the medicine for you according to the prescription. From tomorrow onwards, I’ll prepare the medicine and send it over.”

Ford said, “Alright, alright. Thank you. The Hervathrive is really good. When my waist recovers, I’ll definitely work hard to advertise for you!”

The two of them chatted for a while before Melody brought James out.

After Ford closed the door, James asked anxiously, “Miss Fox, who is this old man?

Melody glanced at James and asked, “His name is Ford Nelson. Who do you think he is!”

James stopped in his tracks and asked in surprise, “He’s Zack’s grandfather?”

“Yes,” Melody did not keep him in suspense anymore. She nodded and said, “That’s right. I found out that he had a back injury. As you know, I have some medical skills, so I took this opportunity to make Zack owe me a favor first. When we talk about poaching him in the future, there will be room for negotiation. At least, for Ford’s sake, Zach has to treat me to a meal

James looked at Melody and was secretly shocked.

Melody seemed to be smarter than he had thought.

“Oh, right.” Melody looked at James and said. “Why did you suddenly come to look for me? Is there anything you need my help with from Ken?”

“No…” James coughed dryly. He did not say that he had been punished and only said, “Mr. Ken said that you’ve been in a lot of trouble recently. In addition, the company doesn’t need me for the time being, so he asked me to come and help you.

Melody nodded. “I do have a lot of things to do recently, and there might be more trouble. It’s good for you to help me.”

James nodded.

At this moment, Melody’s phone received a call. It was from the bodyguard hiding in the dark She raised her eyebrows in surprise. After picking up the call, she lowered her voice and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The bodyguard said, “Miss Fox, we realized that someone has been following you.”

Melody asked, “Who is it? When did it start?”

The bodyguard said, “We checked. It’s the butler of your house. He started when we left your house. At first, we thought that we were just going the same way, but we saw him sneakily following us to South Alley just now, so we’re sure that he’s here to follow you.”

A cold glint flashed across Melody’s eyes.

She thought. Yolanda sent the butler to follow me? I thought that Yolanda would not make a move until something happened to Maria. It seems that she is always looking for an opportunity.

She pursed her lips coldly and said, “I understand.”

The bodyguard asked on the other end of the line. “Do you need us to arrest him?”

Melody thought for two seconds and said, “There’s no need. Let him follow.”

The bodyguard immediately replied. “Yes!”

Melody hung up and told James the news softly.

James asked in surprise. “Then why don’t we just capture him?”

Melody smiled and said. “She wants something on me. Just give it to her. Why are you so petty? Let’s take a taxi and leave.”

James’s mind was filled with questions.

He felt that Miss Fox, like Mr. Ken, liked to do things that he did not understand,

However, James could not be bothered to really pour his heart and soul into Melody’s matter, so he let her be

However, after taking a taxi, he heard Melody say to the driver, Sir, let’s go to the most famous gambling place in Silverlake, the International Casino.”

James was drinking mineral water. When he heard this, he almost spat out the water. “Miss Fox, you…”

Before James could finish, Melody interrupted him and asked. “Have you been there?”

James lowered his voice and said in a voice that only they could hear. “Rather than saying that I’ve been there… Actually, Mr.

Ken owns some of the shares of that place.”

Melody nodded. “That’s good Driver, if you don’t know the way, he’ll point you out.”

“I know, I know,” the driver said. As he drove, he couldn’t help but persuade her. “Young lady, I think you’re young. It’s better to not go to this kind of place.”

“Thank you for your concern. Melody smiled and thanked him, but she did not change her mind. Seeing this, the driver could only step on the accelerator and drive towards the International Casino.

On the way. Melody asked James. “Are you in charge of the black market?”

James was unlucky. He happened to be drinking water, so when be heard the voice, he choked on the water again.

James coughed for a long time before recovering. He asked in shock, “How, how did you know… that’s our territory? There are less than three people in the world who know about this. Even Miss Murphy doesn’t know…”

Melody did not waste any time and took out the black market access card that Ken had given her.

James looked at the card and was even more shocked, “Mr. Ken actually gave you a red card?”

When Melody heard the words “red card“, her expression was a little blank. However, she could tell from James’s eyes that the red card was not ordinary.

Melody could not help but ask curiously, “What does the red card represent?”

James said with a complicated expression. “It represents power.

Melody asks, “Power? What do you mean?”

James said. “It means that merchants who have signed a contract with the black market, regardless of whether they are stall owners or mercenaries, have to listen to you with this card on you. It’s a high–level card from the black market. Other than Mr. Ken and me, only Mr. Ken’s two friends in Insterimond have it

Ken could trust these two friends with his life. It was normal for them to have a red card. Even Janet didn’t have a red car, however, Ken had given one to Melody. James could not understand and felt that it was unfair to Miss Murphy.

Melody could not help but be surprised when she heard James’s words.

She thought. It turns out that this card is so rare. Ken is too generous. Alright, since Ken is so generous, I will work harder to help him poach Zack‘

Melody wanted to ask more about the red card, but she could see the displeasure in James’s eyes. She guessed that he might not be satisfied with the red card Ken gave her, so she tactfully put it away.

On the way, Melody did not say anything else. Instead, she secretly thought about the use of this red card.

Since the red card was equivalent to having absolute power in the black market, it would be easy for her to deal with the matter of Yolanda buying mercury sulfide.

About half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the International Casino

In her previous life, she had accompanied Ulric here. At that time, Ulric had kept losing money. He even lost when he had cards that were definitely going to win.

At that time, she thought that they were unlucky, but now, Melody understood everything

This was Ken’s territory. No matter how good Ulric’s cards were, he could not win.

After all, no matter what kind of Casino it was, there were more or less some high–tech tricks. If the owner didn’t want you to win, you could only lose.

Chapter 138

Before getting out of the car, Melody specially asked James, “Is there a back door here?”

James answered. “Yes, although the casino is very secretive, it’s a gray industry after all, so just in case, there are many secret doors here to go out.”

Melody nodded. “Then after we go in, bring me out through a secret door.”

James opened his mouth slightly in surprise. He was about to ask when he remembered that Melody had said that someone was following her.

James was not stupid. He immediately realized that Melody was trying to set the stalker up.

She had deliberately come to the casino so that the other party could return with fake news and get rid of the stalker.

It was a very smart move. Although it was not very brilliant, it was not like a girl from the countryside could think of a solution..

However, when he went to the countryside to investigate, he found out that Melody had indeed grown up in the countryside. Before coming to Silverlake, she had never even left her hometown.

James thought, “Is she naturally intelligent? Or have I not investigated thoroughly enough?”

“Did you hear that?” Melody asked again when she saw that James was lost in space.

James immediately came back to his senses and nodded. “Understood.”

She said, “Okay, go in.”

Entry to the International Casino was very strict. Ordinary people could not enter at all.

However, with James, the second–in–command leading the way, they almost didn’t need James to say anything. They passed through the first floor of the KTV on the surface and arrived at the International Casino on the second floor. Then, they left the International Casino through the secret door without stopping.

At the same time, opposite the main entrance, the butler quickly dialed Yolanda’s number.

Yolanda’s right eyelid kept twitching today. It was said that this meant that trouble was coming. Just as she thought of that, the butler had called.

Her heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously thought that the butler had been discovered. She couldn’t help but hesitate if

she should answer this call.

The butler was very smart. Even if he was caught, he would definitely think of an excuse. It was impossible for him to betray her.

At the thought of this, Yolanda did not hesitate and picked up the call.

“Mrs. Fox! Big news!” As soon as the call went through, the butler’s excited voice came through.

Yolanda asked in shock. “What big news?”

Because the butler was too happy, he was a little arrogant and deliberately kept her in suspense. “Mrs. Fox, guess what I found out?”

Yolanda asked, “What? The butler said, “She went in International Karaoke!

When she heard that Melody had only gone to the KTV. Yolanda could not help but pursed her lips. “What kind of big news is that? Don’t young people like to go to such places?”

This was not something that could be used against Melody.

The butler said, “I guess you don’t know.”

Yolanda asked, “Don’t know what?”

The butler said. “I also heard from others that there’s actually another floor below International Karaoke, but it’s not a KTV. It’s a casino. Moreover, this International Casino is the largest one in Silverlake. If Mr. Fox finds out that Miss Melody went to the casino, don’t you think he’ll be angry?”

Yolanda’s eyes instantly lit up. “Are you telling the truth?”

The butler said. “It’s absolutely true. I even took photos and left evidence! When Mr. Fox asks, if Miss Melody quibbles, we’ll go to the International Casino to verify it. She won’t have anything to say.”

Yolanda stood up happily. “Great job!”

The butler said, “Thank you for your praise. Mrs. Fox. It’s my honor to help you solve your problems.”

Yolanda felt even happier. “Alright, it’s enough that we have something on her. Come back now, lest she finds out. It won’t be worth it if she thinks of a countermeasure in advance”

The butler said, “Yes, Mrs. Fox. I’ll be right back

After the call ended, Yolanda was in a good mood.

It seemed that her right eyelid was twitching because she didn’t sleep well, not because something bad was about to happen.

She happily contacted a few of her rich friends for beauty treatments.

However, when they reached the beauty salon, they were stopped outside.

“You’re not letting us in? We’re your VIP customers! Don’t you want to work anymore?” Mrs. Mills questioned the shop staff who stopped them with an ugly expression.

Yolanda’s expression wasn’t any better.

Although the Fox family was on the decline and the Justalion Group was losing money. Now, they still had some foundation.

She had never been rejected by a beauty salon before.

The shop assistant had obviously received professional training. In the face of the customer’s aggressive attitude, she still had a smile on her face and said politely. This is our boss’s rule. As long as Mrs. Fox comes with someone, our shop will not provide any service. So… I’m sorry.”

Yolanda was the only one with the surname Fox. The other rich ladies immediately looked at Yolanda.

Because Mabel had become the top socialite in Silverlake last year. Yolanda had been in the limelight for the past year. This was the first time she had seen these friends look at her with such a questioning gaze.
She couldn’t hold it in anymore and could only frown at the shop assistant. “Are you mistaken! Although my surname is Fox, I’m also your VIP customer. I don’t even know your boss, let alone your boss will specially forbid me from entering.”

As Yolanda spoke, she raised her head and showed her VIP membership card. Seeing this, the shop assistant could not help but feel a little uncertain. “Wait a minute, let me check.”

Yolanda heaved a sigh of relief and put on a smile again. She said to the ladies. They must have made a mistake. Don’t be anxious”

Only then did the noble ladies restrain their expressions and remain silent.

After about two minutes, the shop assistant looked up at Yolanda again and confirmed. “You’re Yolanda Fox, the wife of the chairman of the Justalion Group, right?”

Yolanda nodded confidently. “It’s me. You did make a mistake, didn’t you?”

Before the shop assistant could speak. Yolanda continued, “Your service attitude today made me very unhappy. If you don’t apologize to me personally, you can wait to be fired!”

She believed that the shop assistant must have made a mistake.

Under such circumstances, her value as a VIP customer was much higher than that of a receptionist.

Just as Yolanda thought that the shop assistant would immediately bow and thank her, she saw the shop assistant say with a smile mixed with disdain. “If you’re really Mrs. Yolanda Fox, then I’m not mistaken. According to the rules, you can’t enter our shop. Also, if your friends came with you, they can’t enter either.”

These words were like a bolt from the blue, making Yolanda’s mind instantly go blank.

She felt that after the noble ladies heard the shop assistant’s words, they obviously deliberately took a few steps away and kept a certain distance from her. Her face instantly turned red. “Nonsense! Who is your boss? I’m your VIP. My annual expenditure is at least a million dollars. How can your boss not let me in?”

I’m very sorry. Mrs. Fox, but it’s the boss’s rule. We have no choice but to follow it.” The shop assistant bowed slightly Although she was well–trained, she could not help but show a hint of impatience on her face.

A friend of Yolanda asked. “Yolanda, what’s going on?”

I treat us?”

Another person said, “That’s right. You said you’d treat us to a beauty treatment. Is this how you treat us?

Chapter 139

A friend said. “Yolanda, I hope you can give us a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, we are no longer friends!”

A woman said. “Explain. Yolanda”

Faced with the questioning of the noble ladies, Yolanda was anxious and angry. Her entire face turned red. “I don’t know either…”

However. Yolanda only panicked for a moment before she quickly calmed down and said, “Ladies, I’ll definitely find out what’s going on as soon as possible. I’m really sorry about today, but I promise that I’ll definitely give you an explanation.”

The rich ladies couldn’t help but exchange glances. One of them said. “I’ll give you one day to figure out what’s going on. Otherwise, no matter what you do in the future, don’t call us again. We won’t come see you again.”

The others nodded in agreement.

This beauty salon was the most famous in Silverlake, and socialites loved to come here.

Therefore, they often came to this place not only to do beauty treatments but also to maintain relations with people among their ranks.-

If they had not heard from Yolanda that Mabel might marry into the Swanson family, they would not even want Yolanda’s explanation and would have cut ties with her.

However, Mabel was only able to marry into the Swanson family. If Yolanda was removed from this place, of course, they would not give up this good place for Yolanda.

The few of them did not stay any longer and left in their cars, leaving Yolanda standing there awkwardly.

Her mind raced.

She had never seen the boss of this beauty salon, let alone offended them and made them reject her.

But suddenly, a name popped up in Yolanda’s mind, Melody

She thought. This must be Melody’s doing. Ever since Melody returned, there has been no peace at home. It must be her.

Thinking of this. Yolanda’s expression became extremely ugly.

She glanced at the shop assistant who was still wearing a professional smile. She gritted her teeth, took off the jade bracelet on her hand, and stuffed it into the shop assistant’s hand. “Young lady. I sounded a little anxious just now. I might have made you unhappy. Don’t mind me ”

Although the shop assistant was just a receptionist, this beauty salon was very high–end. When the customers were in a good mood, they would often give her something, including some expensive luxury goods.

Therefore, when Yolanda stuffed a bracelet into her hand, the shop assistant immediately recognized that this jade bracelet was worth a lot
Why would I mind… The shop assistant did not refuse and naturally put the bracelet in her hand.

After feeling the jade, the smile on the shop assistant’s face became more sincere.

Before Yolanda could speak, the shop assistant cleverly said, “Madam, do you want to know why our boss doesn’t let you in?”

Yolanda said. “Yes! If you know anything, please tell me so that I can communicate with your boss.” The shop assistant deliberated for a moment before saying. “Actually, we don’t know the exact reason either, but your situation is different from when others were blacklisted by the boss in the past. In the past, if there were customers who were blacklisted, the boss would only inform us in the internal group chat. However, this time, the boss came personally and informed all of us, as well as all the branches. The boss informed us of your name. Think about it carefully again. Did you unintentionally have a conflict with our boss, but you forgot?*

“But… I’ve never even met your boss” Yolanda paused when she mentioned the boss of the beauty salon. Then, she asked “What’s your boss’s name? What does he look like?”

The shop staff said, “Our boss’s surname is Wilmot Sherman.”

“Wilmot!” Yolanda’s eyes widened.

She recalled how Wilmot had brought Melody home and publicly exposed her for snatching Melody’s contract.

Combined with today’s incident, Yolanda knew that her previous guess should have been 80% correct.

This matter had something to do with Melody.

That bitch! Yolanda cursed in her heart.

However, she was more patient than Mabel. She nodded at the shop assistant and said. Thank you for telling me this. I know the general reason now!

“It’s fine. It’s my duty. The shop assistant touched the jade bracelet on her wrist and smiled.

Yolanda thanked her and quickly turned to leave the beauty salon.

Coincidentally, the butler drove over to wait for her. When he saw Yolanda coming out so quickly, he asked in surprise, “Madam, you’re done so quickly today?” Under normal circumstances, Yolanda would definitely undergo a beauty treatment and a full–body spa service. It would take at least two to three hours to end. He didn’t know what was going on that day.

The butler’s intuition told him that something was wrong. Sure enough, Yolanda’s expression was ugly as she said, “Glory Salon’s boss blacklisted me.

The butler asked, “What? Why?”

Yolanda looked at the butler and said, “Do you know the name of the boss of Glory Salon?”

The butler said, “I don’t know about that…

Yolanda said, “It’s Wilmot.”

The butler asked, “It’s him?”

“That’s right.” Yolanda was also a little surprised and couldn’t help but sigh. “I thought that he would at most open a national chain of styling shops. I didn’t expect this famous national chain of beauty shops to also be his business. No wonder so many rich ladies have a good relationship with him. It turns out that it’s not only because he’s the most famous stylist in the country, but also because he’s actually the boss of Glory Salon.

The butler said in surprise, “In that case, Glory Beauty is also his business?”

That’s right.” Yolanda gritted her teeth and said, “Ever since Glory Beauty developed the excellent Glory cosmetic masks two years ago, it’s now one of the top pharmaceutical companies in the domestic beauty industry. Wilmot’s future is limitless. I really didn’t expect that little bitch, Melody, to actually hook up with Wilmot! I underestimated her!”

“Miss Melody?” The butler asked in surprise, “How did she get on Wilmot’s boat?”

Yolanda glanced at the Butler and said, Have you forgotten that Wilmot once gave Melody a styling shop?
The butler slapped his thigh. I remember now! She saved Wilmot’s son.

Yolanda closed her eyes in frustration. It’s my fault. I thought that offending a stylist wouldn’t have any consequences at all. After knowing that Melody saved Wilmot’s son, I didn’t pay attention to this matter at all. Now it seems that we have to think of measures in advance.

The housekeeper reminded her, Mrs. Fox, don’t forget that I have something on Ms. Melody today.

Yolanda pursed her lips. Russell is on a business trip. He will take at least a week to come back. Besides, I’m not sure how much he cares about Melody now. If he only scolds her or if Melody finds Margaret for help, this evidence won’t be enough to destroy her.

She had to think of a way.

Suddenly, Yolanda’s eyes lip up. The corners of her lips curled up as she said. I have it.“

Chapter 140

Yolanda smiled coldly. “That girl has many backers now. We have to get rid of them one by one. Then it’ll be much easier to deal with her. We don’t have to worry about Maria anymore. It’s only a matter of time. As for Margaret, we don’t have any solutions for the time being. Only this Wilmot Glory Beauty’s business has expanded to such a large extent. I’m not the only one who wants to deal with him.”

The butler said, “You mean…”

“Don’t go back yet. Let’s go to the Brewer family. Yolanda’s smile deepened.

“Yes!” The car turned around and headed for the Brewer family, who owned the leading pharmaceutical company in the country.

At the same time, Melody arrived at the entrance of a café called Forest Cafe.

As soon as she entered, she saw a slightly familiar person.

It was a middle-aged man who was wearing a mask and looked anxious. His exposed skin was covered in terrifying red bumps. In serious places, the red bumps even began to pus, as if they would break at any moment.

Melody’s lips curled up slightly. She thought He was indeed here.

“Miss, sir, would you like coffee or order food?” The waiter approached her and James with a professional smile.

Melody said, “We are meeting someone here.”

“Alright, you can scan the QR code on the table and order. The waiter nodded politely and turned to the counter.

Melody’s hearing was very good. She had just taken a few steps when she heard the waiter whisper to another waiter, “What’s going on with our cafe today? Not only did a customer wearing a mask look like he had an infectious disease, but an ugly monster also came… I’m really worried that the two of them will scare away the other customers.”

James’s hearing was also very good. When he heard this, he walked over,

It was true that he did not like Miss Fox, but he could not accept random people talking shit about her.

But James had only taken two steps when a hand grabbed the corner of his shirt.

He subconsciously turned his head and saw Melody shaking her head at him. “Ignore them, lest they delay my business.”

James frowned. “Miss Fox, I did it for you…”

Melody said, “I know. I’m very grateful to you. But I’ve been used to hearing such words since I was young. As long as they don’t interfere with me, there’s no need to bother with them.”

James looked at Melody in shock. He felt that she was really different from the socialites in Silverlake. If the socialites of Silverlake heard such words, they would definitely be angered. However, Melody did not seem to be -affected by those unsightly words at all.

James thought. ‘Mr. Ken is the same as Miss Fox in this aspect.

Everyone in Silverlake thought that Ken had crippled Ulric’s legs, but he knew that the truth was not like that. However, Ken did not defend himself or care. He continued to do what he wanted. From the looks of it, Melody and Ken had a lot in common.

While James was in a daze, Melody had already arrived in front of the man who the waiter said was “wearing a mask as if he had an infectious disease.”

“Hello, Melody said calmly.

The man was a little uncertain if Melody was the person he was waiting for. After all, when they met in their line of work, they would definitely be wearing masks. He had rarely seen anyone like this young lady who did not even wear any disguise.

However, when he saw Melody take the initiative to greet him and recognize her voice, the middle-aged man immediately confirmed that this was the young lady who had come to his stall to buy things.

“It’s really you.” The man quickly stood up and did not forget to flatter her. “As expected of a student taught by a medical professor. You can meet people openly, unlike someone like me, who can’t show my true face.”

Melody said, “Understood. Your profession is special.”

When James heard their conversation, he could not help but look at Melody in surprise.

He thought, ‘One moment ago, she was a doctor from Herbathrive, and the next moment, she is a student taught by some medical professor. How many fake identities does she have? Who is this man covered in red bumps?

However, it was not appropriate for James to ask now. He just stood beside her expressionlessly.

Melody pulled out a chair and sat down. She pretended to be surprised and said, “I was just passing by today. I didn’t expect you to really come.”

“That’s right! Miss, you’re really amazing! I was really poisoned Do you have any way to treat me? My identity is special, so I can’t go to the hospital to see a doctor. I can only rely on you… The man looked at Melody with eyes filled with desire, as if he were treating her as his savior.
Melody raised her eyebrows slightly. It would be strange if this roan was not poisoned. After all, she was the one who poisoned him.

“I need to check your situation.” Melody waved at the man.

The man immediately reached out his hand.

Seeing this, James could not help but frown and remind her, “Miss Fox, do you need to wear a glove? What if it’s contagious…

“Don’t worry, it won’t be contagious. Don’t you know my medical skills?” Melody said as she pulled the man’s hand.

It had been a long time since she had made poison. She did not know if the dosage was accurate.

About a minute later, Melody confirmed that she had used just the right amount of poison on this man. She retracted her hand and said, “Your poison is a little complicated. Although I can treat it, the treatment might take a long time.”

“It’s alright!” The man quickly said, “It doesn’t matter if it takes a long time. As long as you can help me detoxify the poison, money and time are not a problem!”

Melody nodded, took out a ceramic bottle from her pocket, and handed it to the man. “There’s a detoxifying pill inside. Take it first. Come back here in a week. I’ll concoct a new medicine for you.

The man hurriedly took the pill and poured it out without thinking. He raised his head and swallowed it.

However, in the next moment, a female voice sounded. “Hey! Is your name Melody Fox?” Melody subconsciously turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw a girl who was dressed exquisitely and about her age staring at her with an unfriendly expression.

Before Melody could speak, the girl laughed. “It’s really you.”

Melody stared at the girl for two seconds. After confirming that she did not know her, she asked in confusion, “You are?”

The girl snorted disdainfully and said, “You don’t deserve to know my name.”

Ever since Pamela Clark heard from Mabel that Melody was ugly and bad and that she had even snatched Mabel’s man, she had a natural disgust for Melody.

She even felt that telling Melody her name was tainting her identity.

As Pamela spoke, she said directly to the man who had just taken the pill, “You don’t really believe that she’s a student of some medical school professor, do you? I’m telling you out of kindness that she’s just a village girl who comes from the countryside and is useless. She only knows how to scheme and snatch her sister’s sweetheart!”

The man was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Melody in shock and said, “You’re not a student from the medical school?”

Melody was about to speak when she was interrupted by the girl again. “How is she a medical student? You might as well ask her if she has ever gone to school!
