Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 211, 212, 213, 214, and 215) 

Chapter 211

Seeing that Russell and Mable’s relationship had eased so easily, Yolanda was secretly pleased. She echoed, “Mabel learns all kinds of subjects. There will always be some subjects that she can’t master. I will supervise her. Don’t you still have a meeting at your company? Don’t waste time here.”

Russell raised his wrist to look at the time and said, “Then I’ll go to the office for a meeting. I might be back late.”

Yolanda eagerly helped him get his coat and watched Russell leave.

As soon as Russell left, Yolanda stopped smiling and looked at Melody coldly. “You’re quite lucky, but don’t think that you can get Miss Hanson’s favor just like that.”

Melody said expressionlessly, “Are you done, Yolanda? I’m going to see Grandma.”

Yolanda’s lips twitched. “That’s true. Only Maria cares about you the most here. You need to visit her more often. However… do you really think that victory is in Wilmot’s hands?”

Melody raised her eyelids and said with a faint smile, “I didn’t expect you to be so worried about me. I will definitely work hard to find the mastermind behind this! I believe Yolanda will also want to know who is behind this, right?”

Yolanda’s expression froze. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand!”

Melody patted Yolanda’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “The heavens are watching. There are no secrets in this world.”

Yolanda’s face darkened, but she quickly revealed a mocking smile. “You’re indeed a smart person, but so what? I only need a phone call to make one of your supporters collapse. What about you? Speaking of which… Wilmot can allow you to mess around to sign the bet agreement. Looks like he’s really stupid to believe a fool like you! But it’s too late for you to regret now. The bet has already begun. Let’s see what you’ll do in a week!”

Melody clapped her hands. “Yolanda, you have surely impressed an idiot like me! However, it’s still uncertain if my backer will fall. Why don’t we wait and see?”

Yolanda snorted and said, “Then we’ll see! You’ll know the price of the bet very soon!”

Melody raised her eyebrows. She did not waste any more time with Yolanda and walked towards the backyard.

Yolanda gritted her teeth as she looked at Melody’s back.

She thought, ‘Just you wait! Once Wilmot falls and Maria dies, let’s see if you can still be so arrogant!‘

Thinking about Maria, Yolanda immediately remembered about the poison.

After instructing Mabel to go out for the dance class, she quickly restrained her expression and went upstairs to get the black market’s pass. Then, she took a taxi and left.

As soon as Yolanda went out, Melody received a report from James. “Yolanda is out. Do you need me to follow her?”

The corners of Melody’s lips curled up. She could guess why Yolanda went out.

She said calmly, “Don’t let anyone follow her. It wasn’t easy for the fish to take the bait. Don’t scare it away.”

When James heard this, he recalled the black market stall owner he had seen at the cafe last time and instantly understood what Melody meant.

He held his phone tightly and said, “Miss Fox, I have to remind you that you’re also breaking the black market’s rules, so I hope you can tell Mr. Ken about this yourself.”

At the mention of Ken, Melody couldn’t bring herself to laugh.

She hummed coldly and called Ken after hanging up.

At Serenity Villa, Susan was asking Ken, “Mr. Ken, what do you want to eat for dinner? I’m going out to buy groceries now.”

Ken looked up from the document. “Isn’t there oatmeal left over from lunch? Heat it up. I’ll eat that tonight.”

Susan looked surprised.

She thought, ‘Did something happen to Mr. Ken’s career? Since when did he need to eat leftovers for dinner?‘

However, she did not dare to ask further. After agreeing, she went to heat up the oatmeal.

The next second, Melody called Ken. Ever since Melody left, Ken had felt that something was wrong with Melody, but he could not tell what exactly was wrong. Now that Melody called, he immediately put down the document and answered the call.

“Hello?” His voice was calm and emotionless.

Melody did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. Then, she asked, “Will I break the black market’s rules?”

After Ken heard this, he said casually, “The offline black market is not important. Just don’t burn it down.”

On the other end of the line, Melody was stunned. She did not expect Ken to agree so readily.

Ken did not hear Melody’s reply. He held his phone tightly and asked, “What? Are you really going to set fire to it?”

“No, no…” Melody quickly said, “That’s not what I meant. Thank you.”

In the next second, the two of them spoke almost at the same time.

Ken asked, “Are you free tonight?”

Melody said, “I got to go.”

Melody paused and asked, “What do you need tonight?”

Ken said. “There’s a dinner party that I need to bring a female companion to.”

Melody subconsciously asked, “Doesn’t Miss Murphy have time?”

After she said this, Ken was silent for two seconds before he said, “She has just returned to the country and is not used to the environment. She will stay at home to rest during recently.”

Melody asked, “Rest?”

She didn’t believe that.

Melody pursed her lips and reminded him, “If Miss Murphy is not well, you can find someone else, right? With my look, if you bring me to the banquet, I’m afraid I’ll become the laughingstock of the Silverlake tomorrow.”

Ken asked, “You have time to help Wilmot make a bet, but you don’t have time to go to a banquet?”

Melody was stunned. “You know?”

Ken did not respond to this and only said, “I will pay you 200 thousand dollars to come with me, and… Zack will be there.”

Melody gritted her teeth. “What time? What do I need to prepare?”

A smile appeared in Ken’s eyes, but when he thought of Wilmot, he could not bring himself to smile. He said in an emotionless tone, “There’s no need to prepare anything. I’ll arrange for clothes, jewelry, and makeup artists to be sent to the Fox family. Just wait at home.”

“Alright,” Melody paused for a moment and said, “There’s no need for a makeup artist. With my face, there’s no difference whether I put on makeup or not.

Ken said, “Alright.”

After the call ended, Melody felt that Ken had too much money to spend.

She hoped that there would be such a banquet for her to attend every day if she was paid 200 thousand dollars every time.

She put away her phone and walked into Maria’s room.

Maria was chatting with Hattie Meyer. When she saw her enter, a smile immediately appeared on her face.

Melody chatted with Maria for a while before checking her condition.

She was much better than before, and her diarrhea was almost completely cured. Now, Melody only needed to slowly clean up the remaining poison and carefully nurse Maria back to health. Soon, Maria would completely recover.

Melody heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Grandma, your illness has mostly recovered. I’ll change the prescription for you tomorrow. After another month of taking it, you can go out with Margaret again.”

Maria nodded happily. Her turbid eyes were covered with a layer of mist. She held Melody’s hand and said, “You saved my life.”

Melody said, “Don’t say such things. If it weren’t for you, where would my father and I come from?”

Hattie wiped her tears and said, “Miss Melody is so nice to you. Mrs. Maria, don’t say such things. You only need to take the medicine and Miss Melody will be happy.”

Melody nodded with a smile.

At this moment, the butler came in to report, “Mrs. Maria, Miss Melody, there’s a group of guests outside. They said that Mr. Swanson called them over. Mr. Russell and Mrs. Yolanda are not at home, what should we do?”

“Mr. Swanson? Which Mr. Swanson?” Maria asked suspiciously.

Melody immediately guessed that they were sent by Ken.

She stood up and said, “Grandma, they are here for me. I’ll get back to work.”

Maria was stunned for a moment. It was not until Melody’s figure disappeared from her sight that she could not help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Hattie asked in confusion, “Mrs. Maria, what are you smiling for?”

Maria smiled and said, “Something good is about to happen to my granddaughter. What do you think I’m smiling for?”

Hattie asked in surprise, “You mean, Miss Melody and Mr. Ulric…”

Chapter 212

“Yes.” Maria nodded and said, “I was still worried that Ulric would not accept Melody. Now, it seems that I was overthinking. That kid has good taste. Melody has such a good personality and good medical skills. Whoever marries her will be honored. When I’m better, I’ll go to the Swanson family again and try to settle their marriage.”

Hattie suddenly thought of Ulric’s legs and could not help but say, “But Mr. Swanson’s legs… I wonder if he will recover.”

“Don’t worry. Melody will definitely think of a way. She can even pull me back from the brink of death, let alone treat Ulric’s legs.” Maria thought for a moment and urged Hattie to help her prepare the medicine. She smiled and said, “I have to recover quickly so that I can go to the Swanson family.”

On the other side, Melody changed into a white dress, making her already slender waist look even more slender.

The stylist kept praising, “Miss Fox, you can even be a supermodel.”

Melody was still self–aware. She did not reply and only asked, “Is everything done?”

“Yes.” The stylist nodded and asked hesitantly, “Are you sure you don’t need makeup?”

Melody said, “There’s no need.”

In her current situation, if she covered the red spots on her face with foundation and revealed her true appearance, it would cause a lot of trouble. There was no need to ruin her current plan for a moment of pride.

In any case, she was attending a banquet that Ken was going to attend. He didn’t mind losing face, so she also didn’t mind.

Not long after, Melody got into the van parked at the entrance.

However, as soon as Melody got into the car, she was surprised to find that Ken was also sitting inside.

“You’ve been waiting for me?” she asked in surprise.

Ken did not even look up. His gaze landed on the tablet and he said emotionlessly, “Tonight’s banquet is a celebration party for Swanson Universal Entertainment. Many partners have been invited. Zack will also attend as his company’s representative.”

Upon hearing Zack’s name, Melody’s eyelids twitched. She understood why Ken wanted to bring her along. This was a chance for her to poach Zack.

She was worried that with her current status, she would not be able to enter Zack’s company. She did not expect Ken to help her.

“Thank you…” Melody thanked him emotionally.

Only then did Ken open his eyes and look at her. He saw Melody in a white haute couture dress like a humble white rose.

The dress was not a famous luxury item. It was designed by an independent designer. Not many people knew about this brand, but the price was not cheaper than those big brands.

It was undeniable that this brand of clothes was fresh and elegant. It was very suitable for Melody.

Ken looked away and said expressionlessly, “I’m helping myself.”

Melody choked. The gratitude in her heart dissipated after hearing that.

The celebration banquet was held at the River Hotel under the Swanson Group. There was a long red carpet at the entrance. The media on both sides raised cameras that were like long guns and cannons and took photos of the people who entered.

However, the van bypassed the main entrance and went straight into the underground garage. The two of them arrived at the banquet from the backstage.

There were no reporters in the venue, but it was still very lively. The people who came were big-shots and celebrities. Everyone was very dazzling.

Even so, as soon as Ken entered the arena, he immediately became the most eye-catching one. In an instant, he was surrounded by a group of businessmen, and Melody was forcefully squeezed out.

A person said, “Mr. Swanson, you’re finally here. We’ve been waiting for you.”

Another person said, “I hope that Mr. Swanson will continue to work with us in the next quarter.”

Someone else said, “Congratulations, Mr. Swanson. The artists under us won many awards again this year. They will definitely win more awards at the end of the year…”

Everyone’s faces were filled with flattery.

Ken talked to them one by one, but Melody clearly saw the indifference in his eyes.

She was about to slip away to look for Zack when Ken suddenly said, “Let me introduce. This is my partner, Melody Fox.”

Melody suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Ken in disbelief.

Ken’s hand reached out to her. Everyone’s eyes fell on her.

Their gaze instantly turned from curiosity to shock, and then from shock to horror.

They seemed to wonder if this was a joke.

Melody felt complicated feelings.

She thought, ‘Ken did not want to bother with these people, so he deliberately turned everyone’s attention to me, right? I knew it! How can Ken be so kind as to spend 200 thousand dollars to specifically bring me to look for Zack?”

She took a deep breath and smiled appropriately. After nodding at everyone, she introduced herself. “Hello, everyone. I’m Mr. Swanson’s assistant.”

As soon as she said this, the suspicious gazes immediately dissipated. When they looked at her again, their gazes were much gentler. There were even people who took the initiative to hand over their business cards enthusiastically.

Melody took them one by one. When she turned around, Ken had already disappeared.

She thought, ‘This guy… was indeed using me as a distraction.

After Ken left, this group of people became even more enthusiastic. Melody felt that it was not easy to earn 200 thousand dollars, but she could only brace herself to deal with it.

When everyone finally dispersed, she was about to look for Zack when the popular female star, Zara Wentworth, who had just won an international award, blocked her way. Without any explanation, she stuffed a diamond bracelet into Melody’s hand and asked her quietly with red cheeks, “Miss Fox, I wonder if Ken is single now?”

Melody said, “Sort of… yes.”

“Really?” The blush on Zara’s face instantly became even more obvious. Her tone was filled with surprise as she asked, “Then can you give me his phone number? This might be a little difficult for you, but I definitely won’t betray you, nor will I cause trouble for you and Mr. Swanson… Miss Fox, please.”

The beauty’s face was filled with enthusiasm and pleading. Melody could not refuse.

She weighed the diamond bracelet in her hand and smiled. “How can I reject a beauty’s request?”

As she spoke, she took out her phone and quickly gave Zara Ken’s number.

She thought, ‘Didn’t Ken throw all the trouble just now to me? In that case, I would give him a small trouble in return. In any case, Zara is a famous beauty. No matter how one looks at it, Ken is not a loss!

After taking care of Zara, Melody searched for Zack nonstop. Finally, she found Zack in a corner.

When Melody walked over, Zack was on the phone. He said patiently, “I’m doing this for your own good. You don’t have to do chores here. There are people taking care of your daily needs every day. Why do you have to go back?”

At this point, Zack’s gaze suddenly fell on Melody, who was standing in front of him.

He was surprised for a moment. Then, he frowned and looked at Melody unhappily.

“In short, this matter is not negotiable. Just consider it as if I’m being mean to you.” With that, Zack hung up the phone and turned to leave.

Chapter 213

“Mr. Nelson!” Melody quickly caught up with Zack and stopped in front of him. “Mr. Nelson, can I have a few minutes of your time?”

“No.” Zack walked around her expressionlessly.

Melody persevered and followed behind Zack. As she walked, she said, “You should already know me. I’m indeed a headhunter. I’m really sorry for hiding my identity previously. I’m sorry. I hope you can forgive me this once.”

Zack turned a deaf ear and walked straight to the chair with his name pasted on it and sat down.

Melody was about to sit down when a middle-aged man holding a glass of champagne walked over with a pretty girl.

Melody vaguely felt that the girl looked a little familiar. When the other party approached, her eyelids twitched fiercely.

She thought, ‘Isn’t this Mabel’s friend, Pamela Clark?‘

Fortunately, Pamela did not notice her. She stared straight at Zack.

The middle-aged man was the first to greet Zack. “Mr. Nelson, long time no see.”

“Mr. Clark.” Zack nodded slightly in response.

The man seemed to be used to Zack’s cold attitude. His smile deepened as he introduced the girl beside him. “This is my daughter, Pamela Clark. You’ve met her at the charity gala last time. Pam, haven’t you always wanted to see Mr. Nelson? Why don’t you greet him?”

Pamela blushed and glared at her father. Then, she lowered her head and said shyly, “Hello, Mr. Nelson. My name is Pamela… We went to the same school. I’ve known you for a long time. Can I get your number?”

“I’m sorry,” Zack suddenly glanced at Melody beside him and said apologetically, “My girlfriend is very strict and doesn’t allow me to give my number to other women.”

Melody was stunned. She turned around and saw Pamela looking at her in shock. The shock quickly turned into hatred. The way Pamela looked at her was like a cold blade, wishing she could stare at her to death.

Melody suddenly had a bad feeling.

After the man was surprised, he said awkwardly, “I didn’t know that Mr. Nelson already had a girlfriend. I’m really sorry. Pam, let’s go.”

“I’m not leaving!” Pamela shook off her father’s hand and pointed at Melody’s nose. She asked Zack, “Zack, do you know who she is? She’s the Fox family’s daughter who was raised in the countryside! She’s not worthy of you at all!”

“Raised in the countryside?” When Zack heard this, he looked at Melody in surprise. A layer of coldness immediately covered his eyes. He was also from a poor background and would not discriminate against people of the same background. However, Melody’s mistake was that she should not have used medicine to treat his grandfather without having any medical skills.

He thought, ‘Grandpa actually believes her so much. He even mentioned Melody when I called him just now. He is really deceived by this woman!

Zack’s expression turned even uglier.

When Pamela saw Zack’s face darkened, she was secretly delighted. Then, she said even more brazenly, “Once she returned to Silverlake, she often bullied her sister. She even snatched her sister’s sweetheart and even hung out with some local hooligans. Zack, don’t be fooled by this woman’s sweet words!”

Melody frowned deeply and warned coldly, “Miss Clark, you have to be responsible for your words. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sue you for defamation?”

Pamela said, “I’m telling the truth. I’m not afraid of you suing me! Didn’t you slander Mabel for stealing the bracelet recently? You obviously stole that bracelet yourself!”

“You…” Melody was about to defend herself when Zack suddenly stood up and said, “I didn’t expect you to be such a person. Let’s not contact each other anymore.”

With that, Zack turned around and left, leaving her with a cold back view.

Melody gritted her teeth. She knew very well that Zack did it on purpose.

She turned to look at the smug Pamela and said coldly, “Do you like being used by others that much?”

Pamela frowned. “What do you mean?”

Melody did not say it explicitly. She only said leisurely, “How pitiful. You are clearly just her pawn, but you spared no effort to help her on all occasions. Mabel would probably find it funny if she knew, right?”

Pamela recalled what happened at the cafe and felt a little uncomfortable.

At that time, although Mabel had explained it to her, this grudge was still there. After Melody mentioned it, she was a little uncertain.

However, Pamela’s brain could not think of a deeper level. As she hesitated, she thought that Melody was trying to change the topic. She scolded with a dark expression, “Don’t sow discord here! Let me tell you, you’re not worthy of Zack at all! If I see you pestering him again, don’t blame me for being rude!”

After Pamela finished speaking, she looked like she could not be bothered with her anymore and turned to leave.

Melody looked at Pamela’s slightly panicked back and pursed her lips.

Pamela clearly did not fully believe her words, but she only needed to plant a seed of doubt in Pamela’s heart. Sooner or later, this seed would take root and grow into a towering tree.

She ignored Pamela and looked around. When she saw that Zack was about to leave, she quickly chased after him.

What Pamela had said today had greatly affected Zack’s impression of Melody. If she did not explain clearly, she would not be able to poach Zack.

However, there were too many people in the venue. She was squeezed by the crowd and finally caught up to Zack who was crossing the road outside.

Zack was on the phone with someone. At this moment, the traffic light on the sidewalk turned red. Zack did not notice at all and continued to make calls as he walked forward. At this moment, a sports car sped over in the direction of Zack.

Melody’s heart tightened. As she ran towards Zack, she shouted, “Zack, be careful!”

Zack turned his head in shock and saw a black spot appear in front of his eyes from the lights of the sports car. He could not see clearly at all.

Before he could react, just as the sports car was about to hit him, suddenly a huge force came from behind his waist. “Bang!” He was knocked to the side of the road by a slender figure, and both of them fell to the ground.

At the same time, the sports car whizzed past, leaving only the exhaust of the car and a cursing voice. “Do you want to die? Why aren’t you checking the road?”

Zack lay on the ground. His heart had never beat so violently before. That was because he had survived a calamity and his adrenaline was soaring.

He looked at the person pressing down on him with lingering fear. He knew that if this person had not appeared, his life would have been in danger.

Thank…” Before he could finish, Zack finally saw who saved him. “You… how…”

“Are you alright?” Melody quickly got up from Zack’s body. After carefully checking his condition, she sighs with relief. “Fortunately, you’re not injured. Hurry up and get up. The road is not safe.”

Chapter 214

Melody reached out to pull Zack up from the ground.

Zack subconsciously avoided Melody’s hand, but he saw that Melody’s palms were bleeding.

Blood was slowly seeping out of her palm. The wound mixed with the sand and gravel on the ground looked very painful.

Zack’s gaze froze for two seconds. He avoided Melody’s hand and stood up indifferently. He asked with an ugly expression, “Are you crazy?”

Melody asked, “What?”

“Don’t you know… Zack took a deep breath and continued, “You might have died with me just now? Is your life not as important as a job?”

Melody was stunned. She suddenly realized that Zack was actually worried about her.

She lowered her eyes and said, “I calculated the distance and speed. Nothing would happen to either of us.”

*Calculated distance and speed? Who do you think you are? Are your eyes a speedometer?” Zack was furious. He did not care if he was hit, but he did not want anything to happen to others because of him, especially Melody, who approached him with a purpose. Moreover, what he hated the most was owing others favors.

“I…” Melody bit her lower lip and apologized without any temper. “I’m sorry.”

You’re really…” Zack searched his mind for a long time but could not find a suitable word to describe her.

In the end, he said coldly, “Don’t think that you can achieve your goal by doing this. the Justalion Group of the Fox family is hopeless. It’s impossible for me to go there.”

Melody asked in shock, “Do you think I’m trying to poach you to the Justalion Group?”

Zack frowned and asked her back, “Isn’t that so?”

“No,” Melody quickly said, “I’m not working for the Justalion Group. Can you give me half an hour? Just half an hour!”

Zack looked at her with a complicated expression. In the end, he sighed and said, “I’ve never seen someone as difficult to deal with as you!”

Melody was overjoyed. She knew that she had a chance.

Sure enough, in the next second, Zack said coldly, “I have an urgent business trip today. Come to my company to look for me in a week.”

She was overjoyed and almost jumped up. “Alright! I’ll look for you in a week!”

Zack pouted. “Also, don’t harass my grandfather anymore since you don’t know medicine. If anything happens to him, you will not be able to repay me no matter what.”

“I know medicine!” Melody explained, “I’m a doctor at Herbathrive. If you don’t believe me, you can go to Herbathrive to investigate. I did hide a lot of things from you and Ford, but I didn’t lie about treating him. If Ford doesn’t continue to receive my treatment, it will only be more troublesome if the back pain flares up again.”

“Enough. I don’t want to listen to your nonsense anymore. You said it yourself. I only will give you half an hour. It’s my business whether I agree or not. I still have something on. Don’t follow me anymore!” After Zack finished speaking, he stopped looking at her and walked towards the parking lot opposite.

Melody only looked away when she saw Zack’s car drive out of the parking lot and disappear into the traffic.

She clenched her fists and cheered happily to herself. Then, she patted the dust off her body and returned to the venue through the side door with a smile.

She could finish dealing with Wilmot’s matters in a week before looking for Zack.

She felt lucky today, although she had almost been killed by a car. If she had calculated the time and distance wrongly, the outcome would have been extremely tragic. Fortunately, the result was good. She had to tell Ken the good news as soon as possible.

However, after looking around, she did not see Ken at all. In addition, her phone was out of battery, so she could not contact Ken. Helpless, she could only go to the bathroom to wash her wound.

However, when she reached the corridor leading to the bathroom, she saw Pamela scolding a girl.

Melody took a closer look and realized the girl was Zara, who had asked her for Ken’s contact information with a red face.

Pamela placed her hands on her hips and pointed at Zara’s nose as she cursed “Are you blind? How dare you splash red wine on me? Do you want to die? Don’t tell me you really think you can fly up the social ladder just because you won an award? Let me tell you, actors will always be actors You’re just tools and playthings for our investors. Do you believe that I can ban you with a word?”

The girl beside Pamela chimed in, “Pam, why are you so angry with this kind of life? I bet she has slept with many sugar daddies to get that award. I feel dirtied by being close to this kind of woman.”

Pamela snorted. “That’s true. She was just an insignificant person, but she suddenly became famous. I don’t know how many tricks she used in bed People like you better tuck your tail between your legs. Otherwise, when the news gets out one day, you’ll suffer?

Her friend said, “She’s not afraid of being exposed. At most, she’ll retire from the entertainment industry and become a mistress of some rich man.

Each of their words was harsher than the last.

Zara’s face was pale as she stared helplessly at her toes. She bit her lip and did not dare to retort.

The girl beside Pamela suddenly snatched Zara’s phone away and said, “I wonder if you have any shocking photos stored in your phone? I’ll help you share them with your fans. Your fans must like to see them!”

“Give me back my phone…” Zara was anxious and went forward to snatch the phone.

However, Pamela stepped on Zara’s foot.

She was wearing five-inch high heels today. With this step, Zara immediately cried out in surprise and squatted down in pain.

At this moment, the girl suddenly said in surprise, “Pam. She has Mr. Swanson’s number on her phone?

“What?” Pamela looked at the phone screen in shock. She saw that Zara had sent a text message to Ken. [Mr. Swanson, I’m Zara. Do you remember me?]

Pamela narrowed her eyes. “You dare to hook up with Mr. Swanson? Would a person like him fall for someone as dirty as you Why don’t you take a look in the mirror and see how cheap you are!*

Zara endured the pain and stood up, stubbornly saying, “Give me back my phone?”

“I won’t return it. What can you do? Why don’t you get Mr. Swanson to get it back for you? The two girls giggled, and their crisp laughter sounded especially ear–piercing.

“Pamela, that’s enough.” Melody could not take it anymore and walked forward.

Initially, she did not want to meddle in other people’s business. After all, she was not familiar with Zara at all. However, when she saw that Pamela was going overboard, she really could not convince herself to ignore Pamela.

She had come for revenge. She would do anything for revenge, but that didn’t mean she could completely let go of her humanity.

As soon as Melody finished speaking, the three of them, including Zara, immediately looked at Melody.

Astonished, Zara’s eyes immediately turned red. “Miss Fox…

Seeing that it was Melody, the smile on Pamela’s face instantly turned cold. “Why is it you again? I advise you not to be a busybody here?

Melody raised her head slightly and asked expressionlessly, “What if I insist on interfering?

Chapter 215

Pamela laughed mischievously and said in an extremely contemptuous manner, “Melody, I’ve already given you a chance. Do you have to ask for trouble today?”

The girl beside her reminded Melody mockingly, “Hey, ugly freak, you’ve probably watched too many television dramas, right? Do you know who you’re trying to be a hero in front of? Pam’s father is the biggest partner of Swanson Universal Entertainment. Many celebrities from Swanson Universal Entertainment have accepted their clothing advertisements. Her father is attending as a VIP guest tonight. I advise you not to better apologize to Pam and leave immediately if you don’t want to be kicked out!”

Zara’s eyes flashed as she said to Melody gratefully, “Miss Fox, thank you, but I don’t want to cause you trouble. I accidentally bumped into Miss Clark. It’s all my fault. You don’t have to worry about me. Hurry up and leave…”

She did not want to implicate Melody. Even if she knew that once Melody left, her outcome would definitely be tragic.

Pamela was famous for being rude and unreasonable in the industry. A celebrity accidentally provoked Pamela last time and had no choice but to leave the industry because of serious depression.

“Did you hear that?” Pamela raised her chin and grabbed Zara’s collar. She patted Zara’s face with her other hand and said, “At least you know your place!”

As Pamela spoke, she looked at Melody and said, “This actress has admitted that it’s her fault. What can you say now? I’ll give you one last chance. Get lost before I beat you up too!”

Melody narrowed her eyes coldly. “I’ll return these words to you. If you don’t let go of her, I’ll beat the both of you up together!”

“Beat me?” Pamela gritted her teeth. Melody’s ungratefulness made her very angry.

She thought, ‘What right does this country bumpkin have to speak to me like this?‘

“I must teach you a lesson on behalf of Mabel today!” Pamela was furious. She raised her hand to slap Melody.

However, just as her hand was about to touch Melody’s face, Melody, who had been standing in front of her a second ago, suddenly disappeared and quickly dodged her slap.

Pamela used too much strength and staggered forward.

“Bitch!” Pamela’s eyes were red with anger. She clawed at Melody’s face.

She thought, ‘In any case, she is ugly. If her face is scratched by me, it will be equivalent to having plastic surgery!

However, this time, Melody did not dodge. She quickly grabbed Pamela’s wrist in midair. With a gentle turn of her hand, Pamela heard a crack as the bones were dislocated.

For a moment, she felt her vision go dark and she almost fainted from the pain.

Pamela cried out in pain. Then, she screamed, “Melody! You bitch!”

However, before Pamela could react, Melody immediately pressed her to the ground with a swift grappling hand. “I was talking to you nicely, but you wouldn’t listen, right? Apologize to her now!”

“In your dreams!” As soon as Pamela finished speaking, she felt Melody’s strength suddenly increase. She immediately could not move. “Apologize!” Melody ordered in a more serious tone.

Pamela subconsciously wanted to break free from Melody’s grip, but just as she moved, a sharp pain came from her right arm again. She could not exert any strength at all.

“You, you…” Pamela looked up at Melody in shock. “You broke my hand?”

“Miss Clark, you’re really precious. I only used a little strength and your hand broke. I’m really sorry.” Melody’s lips curled into a smile. That smile was like a ghost from hell that sent chills down one’s spine.

The girl beside Pamela was so frightened that her face turned pale. She picked up her skirt and ran.

Melody glanced at the girl’s back and did not take it to heart. She bent down and said, “I’ve already apologized to you. What do you think should happen next?”

Pamela was humiliated and terrified. Melody was too terrifying. Helpless, she could only grit her teeth and squeeze out three words. “I’m sorry…”

Only then did Melody let go of Pamela and turn to look at the stunned Zara. “Miss Wentworth, she has apologized. You can accept it or not, it’s up to you.

Only then did Zara come back to her senses. She picked up her phone from the ground and said timidly, “Miss Fox, thank you so much for today. Let go of her quickly. She’s someone we can’t afford to offend. You’re just an assistant, and I… I’m just an actress. You should not offend her for me. I really don’t want to implicate you.”

“Don’t worry, I promise. You and I will be fine.” Melody gently squeezed Zara’s hand, wanting her not to worry.

Zara’s face was slightly red as she thanked her seriously, “Thank you so much, Miss Fox…”

At this moment, Pamela, who did not have the strength to stand up, suddenly sneered and said, “Have you put on enough act of your friendship? My father is here. Let’s see how you clean up this mess! You will definitely regret your actions today!”

Zara was shocked and quickly looked behind Melody.

“It’s over…” She grabbed Melody’s hand nervously and said, “Mr. Clark is here. Miss Fox, hurry up and leave!”

Melody shook her head. “It’s too late.”

She turned around and saw the girl who had escaped just now walking over aggressively with Pamela’s father and a group of people.

Pamela immediately changed her expression. She sat on the ground and cried in pain, “Dad! She broke my hand!”

Pamela’s father, Troy Clark, thought that it was just a casual fight between girls. When he heard Pamela’s words, he was shocked. His entire face quickly darkened as he quickened his pace.

The corners of Melody’s lips curled up. She walked over to Pamela in a few steps. As she helped her up, she secretly held Pamela’s hand.

Pamela screamed again. She pushed Melody away and cried, “Dad! She wants to break my other hand!”

At this moment, Troy finally brought a group of people to the three of them. “It’s you?”

Troy recognized Melody, and a stunned expression flashed across his face.

He frowned and looked away. He carefully helped Pamela up and asked, “What’s going on? Why are you arguing with Zack’s girlfriend? Didn’t I tell you not to contact them anymore?”

He didn’t want to see his daughter pursue a man with a girlfriend and become a mistress.

“It’s not like that!” Pamela cried, “They deliberately looked for trouble and bumped into me. They splashed red wine on me and she even broke my hand just now. I can’t raise my hand at all now!”

The girl who went to get help quickly echoed, “Mr. Clark, I can testify that what Pam said is true. I saw this woman break Pam’s hand with my own eyes.”

“What?” Troy widened his eyes in shock and asked, “Did she really break your hand?”

Pamela said, “It’s true! It hurts, Dad!”

Troy looked at his daughter’s pitiful look and was instantly furious. He pointed at Melody’s nose and scolded, “Who do you think you are? Do you think you can hit my daughter just because you have Zack’s support? Are you tired of living? Hurry up and apologize to my daughter!”
