Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 216, 217, 218, 219, and 220)  

Chapter 216

“Don’t forget that Zack already knows that you’re a country bumpkin and doesn’t want to talk to you anymore! If you know what’s good for you, kneel down and admit your mistake!” Troy was aggressive, and Zara’s heart was beating fast. Especially when she saw the fat man standing beside Troy, her face instantly turned pale.

She tugged at Melody’s sleeve and said in a low voice, “Miss Fox, bad news. That man beside Mr. Clark… is famous for being lustful. He’s one of the higher-ups of Swanson Universal Entertainment. Many low–level celebrities have been harassed by him.”

“Don’t worry, I got it.” Melody gently pressed Zara’s hand and turned to meet Troy’s gaze. “Mr. Clark, let me walk you through this matter. It’s our fault for accidentally bumping into her. We’ve also apologized, but Miss Clark wouldn’t let go of this matter. Not only did she insult Zara, snatch her phone, and hit her face, but she also tried to hit me, the person who tried to persuade her. I was just defending myself.”

Troy did not listen to Melody’s explanation at all. He said arrogantly, “Hit you? So what if she hit you? It’s an honor for a country bumpkin like you to be hit by my daughter!”

“You…” Melody was about to speak when the man next to Troy said with a wretched smile, “Mr. Clark, don’t be angry. After all, she’s a shy girl. Shouldn’t you give her some face?”

Troy glanced at Bobby Lawrence and saw that he was staring straight at Melody. Troy could not help but smile. It was rumored that Bobby had a fetish for ugliness. He did not expect it to be true. It seemed that he had called the right person.

Troy smiled and asked, “Mr. Lawrence, are you interested in her?”

The smile on Bobby’s face deepened. “Mr. Clark, if you don’t mind, can you hand her over to me and let me handle this matter?”

“Of course. This is your place. You should be the one to deal with it.” Troy waved his hand and said, “Bring her to Mr. Lawrence!”

At Troy’s order, a few bodyguards went forward to catch Melody.

Melody wanted to struggle, but he was afraid that if she made a move, he would ruin Ken’s celebration party. She could only endure it and not move. She was forcefully dragged in front of Bobby.

Bobby looked at Melody greedily. When he saw her long hair and thin waist, as well as her extremely ugly face, he felt that his appetite was even better. She was so ugly and had such a good figure. To him, she was simply a stunner.

“Young lady, you have to apologize for your mistakes. Didn’t your teacher teach you? Listen to me and apologize to Miss Clark obediently. Nothing will happen to you. I promise.” Bobby smiled, making Melody feel nauseous.

She endured her disgust and glared at Bobby coldly. “I’ve said it before. We’ve already apologized for bumping into her. As for me hitting her, it was just self–defense!”

“Young lady, you’re quite stubborn. I like you!” He looked at Pamela and asked, “Miss Clark, you don’t mind her apologizing to you after I tame her, right?”

Pamela was still in so much pain that she could not breathe. Now, she did not know if it was because Bobby’s appearance made her feel so happy that she could not even feel the pain in her arm.

However, she did not think too much about it. She smiled and nodded. “I don’t mind. Thank you for helping me, Mr. Lawrence.”

With that, Pamela’s lips curled into a smug smile. As long as a woman fell into Bobby’s hands, she would most likely be ruined.

She thought, ‘Melody dared to break my hand. Now is the time for her to pay the price! Serves her right!‘

Bobby’s smile did not diminish. “There are too many people here. The young lady wants to save face, so it’s not easy to reprimand her here. Take her to the hotel room upstairs.”

“Yes!” The bodyguards responded and dragged Melody to the elevator.

Zara tried to stop them but was kicked aside by Troy. “Don’t be anxious. We’ll settle the score with you for bumping into my daughter!”

Melody looked at Zara, who was clutching her stomach and lying on the ground. She could not take it anymore and was about to attack when a cold and deep voice sounded. “This place is even more lively than the front.”

As soon as this voice sounded, everyone subconsciously turned around. A tall figure walked over against the light. Troy and Bobby immediately recognized the person as Ken.

Bobby was the first to put on a flattering smile and explained fawningly, “Mr. Swanson, I didn’t expect such a small matter to alarm you. I’m really sorry, I’ll take the troublemaker away now.”

Troy also hurriedly said, “Mr. Swanson, there’s a woman here who broke my daughter’s hand. Fortunately, Mr. Lawrence came forward to seek justice for us. This is my daughter, Pam. Pam. This is Mr. Swanson. Quickly greet him!”

This was Pamela’s first time seeing Ken. She was a little stunned.

Ken was dressed in a black suit today. His buttons were buttoned meticulously to the top. His abstinence and cold temperament instantly mesmerized her.

She had only heard that Ken was a devil who did all kinds of evil and could even cripple his own brother. She did not know that Ken was so handsome.

His well–defined face, deep black eyes, tall nose bridge, and cold lips were all in line with her aesthetic standards.

She thought, ‘He is so handsome… He is a hundred times more handsome than the Zack that I have taken a fancy to at a glance!‘

“Pam? Pam!” It was not until Troy called her for the third time that she suddenly came back to her senses. She blushed and lowered her eyes in embarrassment. “Mr. Swanson, thank you for coming over to help me…”

Ken’s gaze swept across the corridor and finally landed on Melody. When he saw that she was being subdued, his black eyes were instantly filled with frost.

Bobby looked down and saw that Ken was looking straight at Melody. He thought that Ken had the same hobby as him. He could not help but smile and ask in a low voice, “Mr. Swanson is also interested in her? If so, I’ll let you have her first. I’ll take over when you’re tired of her.”

Ken retracted his expression and patted Bobby’s shoulder with a faint smile. “Then I really have to thank you.”

Bobby thought he had guessed correctly and quickly laughed along with Ken.

The next second, Ken’s hand on Bobby’s shoulder suddenly tightened.

Bobby felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. His chubby face instantly turned pale and he screamed in pain.

When Troy and Pamela saw this, they did not understand what was going on.

Ken’s eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he said indifferently to James behind him, “Bobby Lawrence, the executive of Lawrence Entertainment, has humiliated countless artists employed by him at work. The artists could not stand the disturbance and jointly reported him. He is now to be sent to the police station immediately. After the procedure is completed, he will be handed over to the court to be dealt with.”

“Yes!” James glanced sideways and the bodyguards immediately escorted Bobby away. Before Bobby could resist, they took him.

From the other end of the corridor, Bobby’s ugly pleas for mercy could be heard from afar, but they quickly disappeared.

Troy felt that something was wrong and asked with a pale face, “Mr. Swanson, why? Mr. Lawrence is clearly helping us…”

Pamela also nodded. “Mr. Swanson, Melody hit me and broke my hand. Mr. Lawrence didn’t do anything. Are you mistaken?”

Chapter 217

Ken lowered his eyes and sneered. He looked at the two of them with a mile that did not reach his eyes. “Do I need you to decide what’s right when I’m dealing with my own employees?”

“Of course not…” Troy was shocked and quickly waved his hand.

He did not know how Bobby had provoked Ken, but he and Bobby were just ordinary friends. Seeing that Bobby had fallen, he would not offend Ken because of Bobby.

However, regarding his daughter’s broken hand, he believed that Ken would give him face.

Thinking of this, Troy said, “How can we judge your decision? Bobby’s character is bad. You did the right thing! However… I hope Mr. Swanson can give us justice for my daughter.”

Ken raised his eyebrows. “What a coincidence. I’m here for this as well.”

Troy was relieved. Just as he was about to speak, Pamela, who was beside him, spoke first. She pointed at Melody with an uninjured finger and started to complain, “Mr. Swanson, this woman came here tonight by tricking Zack. I didn’t do anything, but she broke my hand! You have to stand up for me!”

Pamela’s eyes were filled with tears. She looked extremely pitiful. Although she was not as beautiful as Mabel, she was the cute type that most men would like.

However, after Pamela tried her best to make herself look even more pitiful, Ken did not even look at her. He walked straight to Melody and wrapped one arm around Melody’s waist. “Miss Clark, you’ve misunderstood. I’m here to look for my female companion. I heard that she was bullied, so I specifically came to take a look.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Pamela’s eyes widened. Her pupils shrank to a point of shock.

She was almost petrified when she saw Ken asking Melody in a low voice, “Are you injured?”

“No.” Melody shook her head naturally. The two of them looked extremely close.

Pamela thought, ‘Is there something wrong with my eyes? Otherwise, why did Ken speak up for Melody, this ugly girl from the countryside, and even hug her waist?‘

“Mr. Swanson…” Pamela rubbed her eyes and confirmed in disbelief, “You said she’s your female companion?”

“Is there a problem?” Ken did not deny it.

Zara, Pamela, Troy, and the others were stunned at the same time. The atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly.

Pamela was unwilling to believe it and said anxiously, “But isn’t she Zack’s girlfriend?”

“Zack’s girlfriend?” Ken narrowed his eyes and looked sideways at Melody. “What happened?”

Melody shrugged and said helplessly, “It’s all a misunderstanding.”

Ken looked at her deeply and turned to look at Troy. “Did you hear that? It’s all a misunderstanding. She’s not anyone’s girlfriend. She’s my female companion.”

At this moment, Pamela was completely speechless. She came late and had no idea that Melody was Ken’s female companion.

Troy was the first to come back to his senses and tried his best to digest this information.

He gritted his teeth and forced a smile. “So this young lady is your female companion. Since we’re all on the same side, let’s not bicker about this small fight between girls. Forget it.”

“Forget it?” Pamela disagreed in her heart. She said, “Dad, she hit me. How can I let it go just like that?”

“This…” Troy was in a difficult position.

Of course, he was unwilling to let it go just like that, but the other party was Ken, A cruel and scheming demon.

Pamela said angrily, “Mr. Swanson! Regardless of whether she’s your female companion or not, it’s a fact that she hit me! You have to deal with this matter fairly!”

Ken said casually, “Is there a possibility that you were beaten up because you deserve it?”

“You…” Pamela choked. She gritted her teeth and said, “She was the one who caused trouble first. I didn’t do anything! Mr. Swanson, did she seduce you? Why are you biased towards her? She really broke my hand. If you don’t believe me, you can call the police and bring me to the hospital for a checkup.”

She really did not understand why the men she admired would rather be close to this ugly woman than to her.

Troy was also angry. Ignoring the fact that the other party was Ken, he said, “Mr. Swanson, since she’s your female companion, we can let her off the hook. However, we don’t want to see you being deceived by a woman! It’s true that she’s your female companion now, but just now, I saw her being very close to Zack. Is such a woman who’s good at pretending really worthy of being your female companion? You have to think carefully.”

Troy did not care about anything else and slandered her. He wanted Ken to deal with her and force her into a dead end.

If Ken did not know about Melody’s relationship with Zack, he might really misunderstand.

Melody said impatiently and coldly, “Mr. Clark, you have to show evidence. I did attack to protect myself, but it was your daughter who attacked first. Besides, are you really sure that your daughter’s hand is broken?”

“This…” Troy looked at Melody’s expression and could not help but hesitate.

He thought, ‘Although this woman is ugly, she is powerless. With her strength, can she really easily break a person’s hand? Could it be that Pam has been acting? After all, this has happened before.

If that was the case, things would be difficult. They had said several times that Pamela’s hand had been broken by Melody.

Troy could not help but confirm with Pamela, “Pam, is your hand really broken? Tell me the truth, I won’t blame you.”

Pamela was about to go crazy. “Dad, why do you believe this woman now? Why would I lie to you? I don’t even dare to move my hand now. I can faint from the pain if I move. Would I lie to you in that case?”

Troy admitted that he understood Pamela. He could feel that she was not lying.

If this wasn’t the Swanson Group’s territory, the truth didn’t matter at all. He could just help his daughter vent her anger.

However, this was the Swanson Group’s territory. Ken was right in front of him, so he could not attack directly. He had to be in the right first so that he could deal with Melody ruthlessly.

Once he was in the right, he would definitely make her pay a heavy price.

Troy turned to look at Ken and said, “Mr. Swanson, you heard it. If it was just a small fight, we would let it go for your sake. But breaking a hand is not a small matter. If you don’t give us an explanation today, we can only call the police to deal with it.”

Before Ken could speak, Melody spoke first. “Then call the police! Once the injury report is out, you’ll know if her hand is broken or not. Mr. Swanson, what do you think?”

Ken glanced at her. Seeing that there was no fear in her eyes and only a bright light, he roughly guessed what was going on and nodded in agreement. “For the sake of fairness, let’s call the police. However, if Miss Clark’s hand is not broken, you will be sued for slandering. When the time comes, you have to pay a price.”

“No problem!” Pamela agreed without thinking. Then, she glared at Melody and said, “I can’t be bothered to argue with you. The truth will be revealed when we go to the hospital for a checkup. At that time, I wonder what you will say! Once I confirm that my hand is really broken, I will definitely pursue this matter.”

Not only did she have to pursue this matter, but she also had to make Melody pay for the pain of her right hand. She wanted to let Melody know the consequences of being a busybody.

Chapter 218

Troy couldn’t wait to call the police and seek justice for his daughter.

He thought, ‘My beloved daughter is not someone that can be bullied by any country bumpkin!‘

Soon, two police cars stopped at the back door of the River Hotel.

Troy was the first to get into the car. Pamela held her injured hand and followed closely behind. Before she got into the car, she did not forget to lower her voice and say harsh words to Melody. “Little bitch, just you wait and see. I’ll see how long you can pretend to be calm! You’ll soon know that lowly people like you and Zara can only be beaten up by me. Don’t think that just because you’re lucky enough to become Mr. Swanson’s female companion, he’ll protect you. A ruthless person like him will only kick you away when things become rough!”

Melody was unperturbed. “I’ll also advise you one last time. Your hand is not broken. Going to the hospital will only slap your own face.”

Pamela sneered. “You’re feeling guilty and scared now, right? I surely have to go to the hospital. See you at the hospital!”

With that, Pamela glared at Melody, opened the car door, and got in.

Melody shrugged. Just as she was about to get into another police car, Zara walked forward worriedly and said, “Miss Fox, it’s all my fault that you got into so much trouble. You should push the responsibility to me. Just say that I broke her hand.”

“Silly girl, why don’t you believe what I said?” Melody brushed Zara’s hair off her forehead and said, “Her hand is really not broken.”

“But…” Zara still did not believe it. She clenched her fists and said, “Let me go to the hospital with you and Mr. Swanson, okay? If something really happens, push the blame on me. This is my fault anyway. You don’t have to suffer for me.”

Melody was about to refuse, but she looked at Ken who was not far away, and then at Zara. She felt that it would be good if Zara was really with Ken.

Zara had a good character. She was much better than Janet.

If she created an opportunity for them, it might really work.

If she really succeeded, as a matchmaker, she felt that Ken would have to help her in the future when she needed him.

With that thought in mind, Melody swallowed her rejection and said, “Alright, come with us then.”

Zara quickly nodded and led the way into the police car.

Melody deliberately took two steps back and stood behind Ken. “Get in the car first.”

Ken looked at her in confusion. “What about you?”

She said, “I’ll go last.”

He looked puzzled as he walked to the front passenger seat and sat down.

The smile on Melody’s face froze. She sighed and thought, ‘No wonder I have never heard of his scandal in my previous life. With this brain of his, it will be strange if he can ever find a girlfriend on his own!’

She shook her head helplessly and sat down beside Zara.

On the way, Zara couldn’t help but glance at Ken from time to time.

The anxious feeling of being with Ken made her forget her nervousness for the time being. Her small face was flushed even with foundation on. Melody smiled and took the initiative to matchmake them. “Ken, this is a celebrity from your company. You should have an impression of her, right? Her name is Zara Wentworth. I’ve seen her movies. Her acting skills are not bad.”

“I see,” Ken replied noncommittally. His voice was cold.

However, even so, Zara’s face instantly turned red. Her blushed face turned into a red apple as she looked at Melody in embarrassment. Melody encouraged her with her eyes. Zara took a deep breath and mustered her courage. “Mr. Swanson, can I… add you on WhatsApp?”

“There’s no need.” Ken refused without thinking, “Contact your agent directly about your work. I’m not in charge of Swanson Universal Entertainment. It’s useless to talk to me.”

Melody’s face darkened.

She thought, ‘How can he say that? No wonder he is single all his life!‘

“Okay…” Zara lowered her head, feeling a little uncomfortable.

However, she also knew that now was not the time to be sad about these things. She quickly perked up and sat upright.

At the same time, in another police car, Troy asked with concern, “How’s your hand now? Is it still very uncomfortable?”

Pamela held her injured hand and did not dare to move. When she heard this, she suddenly realized that her hand did not hurt as much when Melody helped her up.

She thought, ‘Is it because I was looking forward to it too much, or is it because I did not move this injured hand again, or is it because my hand did not feel anything after she broke it? Probably all three.

She didn’t think too much about it and said angrily, “I can’t even feel my broken hand. Of course, I feel terrible. Dad, you have to avenge me. It’s best if you can take this opportunity to kill Melody! I really can’t take this. I have to take revenge!”

Troy only had one child. His heart ached for her and he comforted her repeatedly. “Alright. Don’t be angry. Your hand will hurt again when you move it.”

Pamela asked, “Then tell me, are you going to avenge me or not?”

“Of course I want revenge! There are only two kinds of people in the world who dare to bully my daughter. One is already dead, and the other is about to die. That woman is the latter.” As Troy spoke, he exhorted, “Just be careful of your hand. When we go to the hospital for a checkup and the evidence is conclusive, that woman won’t be able to deny it. Moreover, we’re in a police car. No matter what relationship Ken has with that woman, he can’t help Melody. He can’t use his connections to help a country bumpkin, right? Don’t worry, breaking a hand can send her to prison for at least half a year to a year. She won’t be able to escape!”

Only then did Pamela feel much better. Her mood also became gloomy.

She thought, ‘If I can kill Melody just like that, my broken hand will be worth it!‘

About half an hour later, they arrived at the Silverlake Central Hospital.

Pamela was helped out of the car and accompanied by the police to the orthopedic department for an examination.

“Doctor.” Pamela’s acting skills were surprisingly good today. She said with tears in her eyes, “My hand was broken. Help me take a look and help me write a diagnosis.”

The orthopedic surgeon had seen people who came to the hospital after a fight. Without changing his expression, he gestured for Pamela to sit down and reached out to examine her.

After a round of examination, the doctor looked at the expectant Pamela and then at the expressionless Ken and the others. Question marks appeared in his mind as he muttered to himself in confusion, “This shouldn’t be…”

Pamela asked in confusion, “What shouldn’t be?”

The doctor coughed dryly and said, “Your hand is not broken, and there are no injuries. You can leave now.” “What?” Pamela was instantly shocked. “That’s impossible! Did you make a mistake? Help me check again!” “That’s right!” Troy said, “You must have made a mistake! I want to do an X-ray. Your skills are not good enough!”

The orthopedic surgeon’s expression turned cold. “I’ve been a doctor for almost twenty years. Do you think I can’t figure out if her bones are broken? Her hand is so healthy that she can pick up a bucket of water with one hand. My diagnosis is correct!”

Chapter 219

The doctor had seen patients who were difficult to talk to, but he had never seen anyone doubt that he could not diagnose whether the bones were broken. “If you really don’t believe me, then do an X-ray!”

The doctor couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense with Troy and Pamela. He directly asked Pamela to take an X-ray.

Pamela wanted to flare up, but she did not want to ruin her image as a lady in front of Ken. She could only grit her teeth and take the list.

She subconsciously used her right hand to catch it. When she reacted, she was shocked to realize that her right hand did not hurt at all.

She thought, “What’s going on here? Could it be that Melody really didn’t break my hand? But I clearly felt that my hand was dislocated at that time and couldn’t even lift it up. I couldn’t be wrong about the feeling of bones being separated. What on earth is going on?‘

Pamela’s face was a little pale, and her heart was instantly in her throat.

However, Troy did not notice anything strange about Pamela. He only thought that this doctor was either not skilled or had been bribed.

However, a doctor could be bribed, but a machine could not fake it. He urged Pamela, “Pam, let’s go and take an X-ray now!”

Pamela panicked. By the time she reacted, she was already standing in front of the X-ray machine.

*Lift your sleeves up and drop your hands.” The doctor’s voice came from the radio in the X-ray room.

Pamela came back to her senses and subconsciously pulled up her sleeve.

In less than two seconds, the radio sounded again. “Done.”

Because this was an injury assessment and their identities were extraordinary, the door of the X-ray room was not closed.

When Troy heard the announcement, he immediately went to the small room in the back.

Melody, Ken, and the others also walked over. Ken was at the front because of his long legs.

Troy deliberately slowed down his footsteps and looked at Melody coldly. “Don’t think that we don’t know that you bribed the doctor. I wondered how you really let us come to the hospital. But don’t be smug. Machines can’t deceive people. Just wait to be jailed!”

Melody did not comment. “Whether you believe it or not, her bones are not broken.”

“Stop quibbling! I’ll see how you cry later! Soon, you’ll know that compared to Bobby, I will be an even worse nightmare for you!”

Melody could not be bothered to argue with Troy. She quickened her pace to catch up with Ken.

A few of them entered the small room one after another. Troy anxiously went forward and asked, “Doctor, are the scans out?”

“The scan will be out in half an hour, but we can see the results on the computer now.”

Troy asked, “Then help me see if my daughter’s hand is dislocated or broken.”

The doctor saw that there were a lot of people and there were police officers around, so he didn’t refuse and directly opened his computer.

The bones of Pamela were clearly visible on X-ray.

The doctor took a serious look and said in confusion, “It’s not injured. Why are you here for an X-ray?”

“This is impossible!” Troy said in disbelief, “Look carefully! My daughter can’t even move her hand. It’s impossible that she’s not injured!”

The doctor pursed his lips impatiently and pulled out a picture. He pointed at the scans on the computer screen and said, “This is the hand of a normal person. This is your daughter’s hand. Look, other than the length and size, what’s the difference? There’s not a trace of crack on it. It’s intact!”

“But… Troy seemed to be choked. The huge fear made his hands tremble.

He subconsciously looked at Pamela and saw that Pamela was twisting her hand with a complicated expression. There was no pain on her face. He asked, “You’re not in pain anymore?”

Pamela said with a pale face, “I don’t know what’s going on either… It doesn’t seem to hurt anymore.”

“Mr. Clark.” The corners of Ken’s lips curled up slightly. He sneered and asked, “Do you need to go to another hospital?”

“This…” Troy panicked and did not dare to look at Ken.

Pamela cried and asked, “Dad, I don’t know what’s going on either… I was in so much pain just now. I even felt my hand break…”

Troy’s expression was ugly, but he did not believe what Pamela said. If it wasn’t for his daughter, he would have left long ago.

Troy gritted his teeth and shamelessly put on an apologetic expression. “Mr. Swanson, my daughter is insensible and told a small lie. Please don’t take it to heart!”

“Little lie?” Ken smiled coldly. “Your lie is indeed very small. Even the police are alarmed.”

Troy’s back stiffened. He turned around and slapped Pamela. “Useless thing! Apologize to Mr. Swanson and Miss Fox!”

Pamela asked, “Dad? You hit me?”

Ken could not be bothered to watch their argument. He said indifferently to the police, “Now that the procedure has been completed, deal with it as you should.”

“Alright, Mr. Swanson.” The police officer nodded and came to Pamela. “You’re suspected of falsely reporting a crime and disturbing our work. You will be detained for five days. Come with us now!”

With that, they forcibly escorted Pamela out.

Seeing that she was really going to be taken to the police station for detention, Pamela could not care less about maintaining her image in front of Ken. As she struggled, she shouted, “Let go of me! Mr. Swanson, don’t forget that my father is a long–term partner of Swanson Universal Entertainment. You’re not the chairman of the Swanson Group yet! Aren’t you afraid that my father will cancel the collaboration with you?”

This was probably how love turned into hatred. She was stunned by Ken’s handsomeness and hated him for detaining her in order to help Melody. Troy’s face darkened. He wanted to stop Pamela from continuing, but it was too late.

Pamela quickly said, “If Mr. Ramon comes back and finds out what you have done, you might not even be able to keep your position as the heir!”

“Shut up! Shut up!” Troy was so anxious that his eyes were red.

However, the police were blocking him. He could not cover Pamela’s mouth at all.

Pamela did not understand why her father was so nervous. She frowned in disdain and reminded him, “Dad, why are you afraid of him? Didn’t you say that he’s only in charge of the Swanson Group for the moment? He’s not even the chairman of the Swanson Group, yet he dares to attack his partners like this. Ken, aren’t you afraid that your father will punish you?”

“Idiot! Shut up!” Troy stomped his feet anxiously.

Ken said with a faint smile, “Troy, your daughter is really amazing. You told her everything about me managing the company. Why didn’t you tell her that the reason why the Clark Fashion Group could become a partner of Swanson Universal Entertainment was because you begged me? Did she say that because you wanted to cancel the collaboration with us?”

Troy felt weak. Suddenly, he bent his knees and knelt down to Ken. “Mr. Swanson, you’re a generous person. This wretched girl is insensible. Don’t lower yourself to her level! The Swanson Group is our company’s life savior. I’ve never forgotten this! Please don’t terminate the contract with us!”

Chapter 220

Pamela felt as if she had been hit by a huge bomb. Her mind instantly went blank.

It turned out that her family was not the sponsor of every celebrity of the Swanson Universal Entertainment. On the contrary, the celebrities that she kept looking down on were actually more important than her father’s company. She was devastated by this piece of news.

Troy kept begging for mercy, but Pamela’s ears could no longer hear anything. Her eyes were lifeless as if her soul had been separated from her body.

Ken pinched his eyebrows impatiently and said indifferently, “Don’t worry, the stupid thing your daughter did has nothing to do with your company. I’m not the kind of person who takes my anger out on others.”

Troy looked down and knew that his daughter’s imprisonment was inevitable. After weighing the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and took the initiative to say to the police, “Guys, I’m sorry for wasting your time. Take her away and help me educate her. Don’t show mercy!”

The police found Troy’s sudden change of attitude very funny, but they were professionally trained and usually wouldn’t laugh unless they couldn’t help it.

Hence, they said in all seriousness, “We’re civilized law-enforcement officers. We won’t do anything rude. We’ll take her away now.”

After saying that, they dragged Pamela, who was almost in a daze, out, attracting a lot of attention along the way.

Ken looked at Melody. “Alright, let’s go. It’s late. I’ll send you back.”

Melody nodded and did not look at Troy who was still kneeling on the ground. She called out to the dumbfounded Zara and walked out.

After leaving the hospital, Zara looked at Ken, who was walking behind, and couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Miss Fox, what’s going on? Aren’t you an assistant? Why have you become his female companion? Also, what’s going on with Zack? I clearly heard Pamela’s hand crack. Why was it fine when the doctor checked it?”

Zara’s mind was filled with questions. She only felt that Melody was an extremely mysterious person. She was certain that Melody was not an ordinary person.

Melody did not explain that she was a doctor and was familiar with all the parts and bones in a person’s body. It was very easy for her to dislocate someone’s hand and place it back together secretly.

She smiled and said, “Just take it that the heavens are helping us. As for the rest, you don’t have to know.”

Zara nodded and looked at Melody with reverence.

When they reached the entrance of the hospital, James happened to drive over.

Melody took the opportunity to say, “This place is close to my house. I can just take the bus back. Ken, help me send Miss Wentworth off. She’s a celebrity, so it’s not convenient for her to take a taxi or a bus.”

On the way out of the hospital, many people had already recognized Zara.

Zara’s face instantly turned red. Knowing that Melody was pulling the strings for her, she could not help but look at Melody gratefully.

However, Ken looked at James and said expressionlessly, “Send Miss Wentworth back. I’ll take another car with Melody.”

“Yes.” James did not dare to object and helped Zara open the car door.

Zara was stunned, but she couldn’t say anything. She waved at Melody and got into the car.

The car quickly drove away, and another car stopped in front of Melody. The driver got out and handed the car key to Ken.

Melody felt that it was a pity. Such a good opportunity to send a beauty home had been ruined by Ken again.

“Get in the car.” Ken did not say anything else. He ordered her to get in the car. His expression did not look good.

Melody thought, ‘What happened? Didn’t the matter resolve perfectly? Why did Ken seem to be angry? Could it be that he felt that I am too good at causing trouble?‘

Melody sat in the passenger seat with a belly full of confusion. Before she could figure out the reason for Ken’s change in attitude, she heard Ken’s angry voice beside her. “Being a matchmaker for your husband and another woman. Melody, you’re really something.”

Melody was stunned. She thought that she was smart but did not think that Ken would notice this at all.

It turned out that he knew everything. Melody felt like she was trapped in a cocoon. She was annoyed at herself for taking the initiative to help someone matchmake.

She braced herself and clasped her hands together. “I’m sorry. I saw that Miss Wentworth was a good person, so I wanted to help her… It’s my fault.”

Ken gave her a sidelong glance and threw his phone onto Melody’s lap. “This must be your work too!” Melody quickly looked down and saw Zara’s message to Ken.

She smiled awkwardly. “I’m sorry, it won’t happen again…”

Ken glared at her and warned, “If there’s a next time, I don’t mind announcing our marriage to the public, in case you introduce other random women to me.”

Melody was shocked and quickly said, “Please don’t! I really won’t matchmaker you again.”

Ken frowned and looked even more displeased. “Is it embarrassing for you to announce your marriage with me to the public?” His voice was cold.

Melody quickly explained, “No… It’s just that you’re handsome, elegant, and rich. I’m afraid that those women who like you will nail me to death after finding out about it.”

When Ken heard this, his expression softened a little. “I’m not as likable as you think. Don’t forget, everyone in Silverlake knows that I’m the devil who crippled Ulric’s legs.”

“But the truth will come out one day,” Melody paused and asked, “Aren’t you going to clear your name?”

He said, “It’s not necessary. It doesn’t matter.”

He didn’t want to make everyone in the world like him. He just wanted to make sure that the people he cared about knew his true colors. Otherwise, it would only attract more trouble. He didn’t care to clarify.

Melody looked at Ken’s indifferent attitude. Her heart was filled with helplessness and confusion.

She thought, ‘He so so out of this world, but I am so eager for revenge. Even if Ken knows that I am capable enough to form an alliance with him, will he still help me take down Ulric? Actually, there is nothing wrong with Ken being like this. If I got closer to him, would I implicate him?’

She wanted to take revenge, but she didn’t want to drag anyone down.

Melody was a little uncertain. When she looked at Ken again, she could not help but feel a little more distant from him.

Ken felt that something was wrong. He frowned slightly and asked, “Why? As my wife, you’re my matchmaker. Can’t I criticize you for that?” “No,” Melody shook her head and said seriously, “Don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble in the future.”

When Ken heard this, he felt even more depressed.

He changed the topic and asked, “How’s the situation with Zack?”

At the mention of Zack, Melody regained a little of her smile. “I’ve made some progress. He’s already agreed to give me half an hour to talk to him after he returns from his business trip. But I’m not sure if it will work out by then.”

Ken asked in surprise, “He actually agreed to talk to you?”

She asked, “Yes, what’s wrong? You don’t think I can’t succeed at all, do you?”

Ken did not answer. He only said, “Although he only gave you half an hour, there are many companies and headhunters who want to poach Zack, and no one has ever made him agree to talk to them. It’s already not bad that you can achieve this. If the results are bad, it doesn’t matter. I can make an exception and let you enter Ximber Tech.”

At the end of the day, he did not believe that she could poach Zack.
