Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 236, 237, 238, 239, and 240)

Chapter 236

Don’t talk too much first. The remaining poison in your body hasn’t been completely removed. Your body is weak, so you can’t tire yourself out too much. Melody quickly pressed down on Wilmot’s shoulder and gestured for him to lie down.

When Wilmot did as he was told, she began talking about the Tojafrass Aroma under Wilmot’s questioning gaze.

When Wilmot heard that it was his brother who poisoned him, he was so angry that he scolded him, Leo is so simply a bastard! He coughed before he continued before our Dad died, he told me that Leo had evil intentions, so he handed Icy Clear Cosmetics to me, and in the past few years, he has indeed behaved himself. I was even considering if I should hand Icy Clear Cosmetics to him. That way, I could spend more time with Shane. But I didn’t expect him to do such a disappointing thing!

Melody sighed and said, It should be Silk Beauty Cosmetic’s interference that made him feel it was the best opportunity. His nature was seduced.

Wilmot closed his eyes, his expression filled with anger and disappointment.

Melody patted the back of Wilmot’s hand and comforted him. People are selfish. It’s just that they care about different things. You care about kinship, but he cares about benefits.

Wilmot clenched his fits. When my body recovers, I will tear off his disguise!

Melody nodded. You need to recover quickly, whether it’s for yourself or Icy Clear Cosmetics. Although I can handle the research and development of the new product alone, if he refuses to use my new product to compete on the day of the competition, we might lose the bet, so you have to recuperate. Before the competition, you should continue pretending to be sick to let Leo’s guard down.

Wilmot nodded without thinking. Alright, we’ll do as you say. After that, he coughed violently again.

Melody poured a glass of water for Wilmot and could not help but ask about Tojafrass Aroma. A friend of mine developed this poison Leo poisoned you with. However, he’s a very kind person. He worried someone would use it to do bad things, so he burned all the finished products and formulas long ago. There shouldn’t be any left in the world. I’m worried that this matter will affect that friend of mine, so I want to ask you, has Leo come into contact with anyone with medical or poison skills?

Wilmot thought about it seriously and shook his head in confusion. I’ve never heard of him coming into contact with anyone skilled in medicine or poison. Most people he usually comes into contact with are fair-weather friends.

Melody nodded and was about to say, it’s alright, I’ll investigate it myself when Wilmot suddenly looked up and said, I remember now. About a month ago, he often went to Insterimond and was very close to a woman from the Taylor family in Insterimond. The Taylor family in Insterimond seemed to have made their fortune by selling herbs. It’s just that they’re starting to develop in various industries now. Do you think this poison came from that woman of the Taylor family?

The Taylor family in Insterimond… Melody muttered as she thought of how Colin had mentioned the Taylor family. The Taylor family had the herbs she needed. She couldn’t help but think, it seems I have to hurry up and get close to Mason’s wife, Ruby.

Melody composed herself and asked, Do you know anything about that woman? It’s fine if you only know her name.

Wilmot shook his head. Leo is a person who often hangs out with different women. He has changed his girlfriends one after another and has yet to get married. I’m too lazy to care about who he’s dating now. So… I’m sorry, I don’t know her name. However, I’ll think of a way to find out. Leo is a flamboyant person. It shouldn’t be difficult to find out about that woman.

Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you. But before that, the most important thing for you is to recuperate. After Melody finished speaking, James knocked on the door and entered with a bag of traditional medicine that one could take directly.

Miss Fox, the medicine is ready. As he spoke, he could not help but complain, is your prescription too strange? The people from the traditional medicine department refused to make the medicine for me. It was only after I pressured them that they did it.

Tojafrass Aroma has disappeared for a long time. Of course, the antidote is not common. It’s very normal. Melody said, taking the medicine and watching Wilmot drink it before speaking again. You need to take this medicine for seven consecutive days to remove all the poison in your body. Calculating the time, the day you recover is coincidentally the day Silk Beauty Cosmetics competes. It’s just in time.

Wilmot nodded and was about to speak when he started coughing violently again.

I’m a little dizzy… he said.

It’s normal. This is s sign that the poison has yet to be cleared. Melody raised her wrist and looked at the time. I can’t let Leo get suspicious. I have to rush back as soon as possible. I’ll get James to help you deceive the world, so you don’t have to worry about anything. Rest well.

Okay! Wilmot looked at her with a complicated expression and said, I’m sorry Melody. I seem to have caused you a lot of trouble.

Melody shook her head. I was the one who suggested the bet in the first place. This is what I should do. Besides, this matter involves my friend…

Wilmot could not help but ask curiously, who is that friend of yours?

Melody opened her mouth and said vaguely, it’s someone who gave me a second life.

Wilmot knew she was unwilling to say more, so he understood and did not continue asking. He only said, then go quickly. I will also investigate the identity of that woman from the Taylor family as soon as possible.

Okay! Melody did not stay any longer, she called James to the door and instructed him a few things before she left for the building of Icy Clear Cosmetics.

At the same time, in the emergency room.

Accompanied by Ken, Janet finally completed a series of full-body examinations.

This checkup was very detailed. From head to toe all the internal organs in her body, they checked almost everything for her.

The results of the checkup came out very quickly.

Ken came to the doctor’s office curiously, Why did you ask me to come here alone? Is she …sick?

Well…the doctor hesitated. It’s not a serious disease, but it’s fatal to a woman.

Just tell me, Ken said.

The doctor nodded and pushed the report to Ken. He said the good news first, according to Miss Murphy’s examination report, although some of the values are not up to standard, these are all common illnesses of modern people. It doesn’t matter much.

Please continue. Ken looked serious.

The doctor pointed at one of the reports and said. Look here, here, and here! The values of this place are seriously high, but this value is more than ten times lower than ordinary people.

Ken could not understand the academic terms on it. He asked directly, what does that mean?

It means Miss Murphy probably won’t have children after that, said the doctor.

Ken’s eyelids twitched. He asked, is it because of the problem this time? She drank a lot last night…

The doctor shook his head. No, the discomfort this time is just a small problem. Logically speaking, she should be able to recover in a day or two. The reason why she can’t have children is because of her irregular schedule in the past few years and the mental pressure.

In the past few years? Ken fell into deep thought. Janet has been running around for Ximber Tech for the past few years. It is common for her to have irregular schedules. So, I was the one who harmed her?

Chapter 237

The doctor sized up Ken’s expression. When he saw Ken’s dark expression, the corners of his lips curled up imperceptibly.

Then, he said regretfully. Moreover, the patient’s emotions are important. As long as she controls her emotions and adjusts her schedule, there’s still a chance of recovery in the future.

Upon hearing that there was a change of recovery, Ken’s dark expression finally eased a little.

Also, the doctor reminded him, that we can’t let the patient know about this for the time being. Because of the alcohol, she has gastrointestinal problems. At the very least, we should wait for the patient’s health to improve before telling this news.

Ken nodded. I understand.

Alright, that’s all for now. Miss Murphy doesn’t need to be hospitalized for the time being. After the drip, you can go to the pharmacy to get the medicine. take the medicine on time and she’ll be fine soon. Oh right, her stomach isn’t good. In the future, she has to stop alcohol and eat healthily.

Okay, Ken replied and got up to leave.

The doctor watched Ken leave before taking out his phone and making a call.

When the call connected, the doctor smiled and said, Miss Murphy, I’ve already done what you instructed. As for what you promised me…

Don’t worry. On the other end, Janet said faintly, In order not to arouse suspicion, I’ll use my family’s connection to transfer you to Central Hospital in Insterimond in a month.

Thank you, Miss Murphy! The doctor hung up the phone with a smile on his face. No matter what, Silverlake is not as good as Insterimond. It is a dream of all doctors of Silverlake to be able to work in Insterimond Central Hospital. And I will soon realize this dream!

On the other end of the line, Janet had just hung up when Ken appeared at the door.

She quickly put down the phone and asked weakly, Ken. What did the doctor say to you? Could it be… that I’m sick?

Ken stopped in his tracks and quickly regained his usual expression. He shook his head and said, you’re not sick. The doctor just told me some things to take note of. In the future, you have to protect your stomach and don’t drink again.

Janet heaved a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile. I won’t drink anymore. Didn’t you ask me to return to your side? I don’t need to drink to drown my sorrows anymore.

Ken opened his mouth, but when he remembered the doctor’s reminder, he swallowed the words he wanted to say. He only hummed and said, just remember not to drink alcohol.

As he spoke, he paused and asked. Janet, have you thought about who you want to marry in the future?

Janet looked puzzled. Why are you suddenly asking this?

Nothing…He hesitated and shook his head.

Janet suddenly smiled shyly and said, I think you know best who I want to marry.

Ken’s expression stiffened slightly, but in the end, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

On the other side, Melody went to Herbathrive before returning to Icy Clear Cosmetics.

Today, Beverly went to the hospital for a follow-up and some preoperative preparations. Only Colin was at the Herbathrive.

Melody directly gave him a list. Mr. Colin, please help me get the medicine according to this formula.

Okay! Colling took the prescription without a word and took a look.

A few seconds later, his eyes suddenly widened. Because he was too excited, even his voice began to tremble. Melody, this formula of yours, is it the legendary Queen Josephine’s royal beauty prescription?

Colin looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. This time, he lowered his voice and said, How can I know that? It’s just that a few years ago, half of Queen Josephine’s beauty formula spread in the industry. I saw the first half of your formula was the same as that one. So I asked. How surprising. Is it real?

Melody nodded. Only the first half of the formula has been passed down, but very few people know about it. As for the second half, Mr. Parker and I have read countless ancient books and researched them ourselves. It took us several years to develop it.

Colin hurriedly said, Don’t worry, I won’t reveal this formula to others. I’ll get the medicine for you to prevent it from getting exposed.

Melody nodded. She looked at Colin, who was getting the medicine. Then, she asked about Beverly’s recent situation.

Recently, her health has improved a lot. Her complexion has become rosy, and she’s willing to eat three meals a day on time. All of this is thanks to you. I believe that after taking the medicine for a few more days, her body will be ready for the operations, said Colin.

Melody heaved a sigh of relief. That’s great. I’ve been busy recently, so I’m afraid I can’t come often. But with you keeping an eye on Mrs. Herbert, I have nothing to worry about.

Soon, the ingredients in the formula were all done. As Colin carefully wrapped it for her, he said, that person from the Taylor family came this morning. I officially recommended you to her. When do you have time to see her?

Melody thought for a moment. She did not want to drag things out for long, so she said. Help me ask her if she has time for lunch tomorrow. If Yes, She can choose an address, and I’ll be there.

Okay! I’ll call her later and send you the message, said Colin.

Alright, Melody took the medicine and said goodbye to Colin. then, confused, she asked, why didn’t I see David today?

Colin replied I sent him to further his studies. Ever since he met you, this child’s personality has become much more stable. I think it’s time to start nurturing him.

David is one of the few people his age who truly loves this industry. He’s also smart. However, he still hasn’t lost his childish nature. Train him more, he’ll be a good doctor in the future. When he’s almost done learning, I’ll guide him personally.

She needed help, When David learned some things in the future, he could be her assistant.

Colin was happy for David. That’s his honor! I’ll learn from you two when you guide him.

Melody smiled and waved goodbye to Colin. Then, she rushed to Icy Clear Cosmetics.

It had been almost two hours since she left Icy Clear Cosmetics. If she didn’t go back soon, she would be suspected.

Not long after the car stopped at the entrance of Icy Clear Cosmetics.

Melody was about to get out of the car when she bumped into Troy, who was coming out of the building next door.

Troy’s face was brimming with a smile. It was a sinister smile that made people feel uncomfortable.

Melody didn’t want to be meddlesome, She waited until Troy left in the car before getting off.

She looked at the building again and took a photo to send to James.

She added: [Help me investigate this company. I want all the information. Thank you.]

After sending it, Melody stepped into Icy Clear Cosmetics.

She was still worried Tim would be suspicious if she left too long.

However, when she arrived at the R&D department, she found Tim inviting everyone for afternoon snacks.

When he saw her enter, he smiled and greeted her, Miss Fox, come over here quickly. I bought a lot of snacks. Eat with everyone.

Chapter 238

Melody could tell from Tim’s expression that he did not care how long she had been out.

After calming down, her gaze fell on the long table in the lounge.

It was filled with a dazzling array of snacks, and there were even the best-selling crayfish of the season.

She couldn’t help but frown. As expected, Tim has ulterior motives. We only have seven days left before the betting ends. Not only does he not seize the time to develop a new product, but he also wastes his time on the afternoon snacks. If Tim wants to win the bet, he probably won’t even be able to sleep, let alone eat afternoon snacks.

Melody narrowed her eyes coldly and said indifferently, No need. I’m not hungry.

As she spoke, she carried the herbs and walked toward the backup research and development room.

Tim shouted hypocritically at her back. Melody Fox, you can do it. If you’re hungry, come out and eat at any time. Although work is important, your body can’t collapse. Our company needs you.

Melody knew that Tim was openly mocking her, but she could not be bothered to argue with him.

There was no benefit in arguing with Tim even if she won, she might as well hurry up and start developing new products.

Without looking back, she quickened her pace and left.

Tim only thought that Melody had admitted defeat. He sneered in disdain and turned to tell the researchers. Everyone, please help yourself.

Some researchers were impatient and could not help but say, Mr. Mayer, we still have a lot of work to do. We’d better forget about the snacks first.

That’s right, we only have seven days… someone echoed.

Tim waved his arm and said, Good health is necessary for work. How can you develop new products if you don’t eat more to get more energy? I can’t let you say that I exploited you so much that your body broke down and didn’t develop a new product. Stop talking and eat hard. No one can work until you finish these things.

The employees sighed in their hearts but dared not openly go against Tim. They could only bury their heads and eat.

Some began to complain about Melody.

That woman just now is the person who is bet with Silk Beauty Cosmetics, right? If it weren’t for her, we wouldn’t be in such a hurry…

Yes, it’s her! I heard from others that she also wants a backup laboratory and is developing a new product alone. Isn’t it a joke? We’re so busy here, it’s fine if she doesn’t help, but she still has to fight alone. I don’t know what she’s thinking.

Forget it, She’ll only be a hindrance if she helps. I heard from Mr. Mayer that she’s a country bumpkin who doesn’t know anything. She can’t do anything at all. It’s a good thing that she doesn’t interfere.

Everyone sighed and did not dare to flare up at Tim. They could only scold Melody.

Hearing these words, Tim immediately felt even more smug.

Firstly, Melody doesn’t have the ability. Secondly, she had lost the support of the people under my influence. Now, she has no advantage. She can’t develop a new product! At the thought of this, Tim could not be bothered to keep an eye on what Melody was doing. He put on disposable gloves and started peeling crayfish.

Oh, this crayfish is so yummy. I like super spicy ones, Tim said.

In the spare laboratory, without Tim’s interruption, Melody could not ask for more.

She quickly cleaned up the laboratory and began to check the various instruments.

The good news was that a lot of the equipment in the spare lab was new, but the bad news was she lacked a necessary instrument. She couldn’t do anything without that.

However, that instrument was an imported product. Even if Melody placed the order now, it would take at least five days to arrive.

After thinking about it, Melody logged into the black market forum and posted a bounty post.

As soon as the post was posted, someone took the order.

Melody hurriedly opened the dialog box and contacted the person who took the order. [Are you in Silverlake? How new is the instrument?]

The other party quickly replied: [It’s brand new. I work in the customs warehouse in Silverlake. The items are confiscated. If you want them, come at midnight tonight, and I’ll hand them to you in person.]

Melody was indeed in a hurry to use the instrument. She thought for a moment and replied with an OK.

The other party quickly sent an address. It was near the customs warehouse.

With the equipment, the thing is more than half successful. Melody heaved a sigh of relief and began to sort the herbs.

Although she and Quintin had written the final formula, the ratio was not detailed. She had to experiment with different proportions until she picked the right one.

However, without that instrument, she could only operate many things manually, so the progress was naturally much slower.

When the sky turned completely dark, there was a knock on the door of the spare laboratory.

Miss Fox, are you still working overtime? Tim walked in with his typical smile. He looked around the laboratory and finally looked at Melody. He asked, how’s the progress, Ms Fox?

Melody met Tim’s gaze expressionlessly and said, Mr. Mayer what’s the matter?

Tim’s smile deepened. I’m here to remind you that I’m getting off work. After work, the R&D department will lock the door, I’m afraid you don’t know this rule, so I specially came to remind you.

Blackout? Melody frowned and looked at the time. It’s only seven o’clock and it’s a special time. Why are you off work so early?

Tim shrugged. Miss Fox, Ever since an employee in this area died from working overtime, the higher-ups have been investigating all the companies very strictly. We can’t stay in the company after seven o’clock. You shouldn’t make things difficult for me.

When haven’t I heard of this rule? Melody asked.

Tim shrugged. Then you can choose not to leave. I’ll open the door at eight o’clock tomorrow.

Melody’s eyes darkened. Tim, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Aren’t you afraid Wilmot will fire you first when he returns?

Tim smiled faintly. Mr. Wilmot is sick. Mr. Leo is in charge of the company now. You can tell him tomorrow and ask him to fire me if you don’t like me.

Melody’s cold gaze landed on Tim. Her gaze was like a knife, making Tim’s back turn cold.

He could not help but frown and ask, are you leaving or not? If not, I’ll lock the door.

I’m leaving. Melody loosened her fits and told herself, you can’t be hasty. Tim and Leo’s punishment will come soon.

She pursed her lips coldly and quickly packed her things before walking out of the door.

Only then did Tim smile again. That’s the right thing to do, Miss Fox. You have to alternate work with rest to do your job better.

Melody could not be bothered with Tim. She changed the password for the lock of the laboratory and strode away.

Seeing this scene, Tim sneered. Miss Fox, are you afraid that I’ll go in and steal something? Don’t forget that I’m in charge of this floor. Let me make it clear. Even if you invite me in, I won’t enter your laboratory because there’s no need for that. Who would care about something impossible to succeed.

Chapter 239

Is it impossible to succeed? Melody sneered in her heart. But she said calmly, Regardless of whether it succeeds, I’ll do my best. Aren’t you also doing your best to watch your employees make an improved version of Golden Water? You probably want the company to operate normally more than I do, right?

Tim laughed. This… Of course., I’ll do my best. To make my employees healthier, I bought this afternoon snacks at my own expense.

Melody smiled mockingly. Thank you, then, Mr. Mayer. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.

With that, she did not waste any more time with Tim and quickly left the R&D department.

Tim frowned and stared at Melody’s figure until it completely disappeared. Then, he looked at the door of the spare laboratory.

Should I think of a way to go in and take a look? he wondered.

After a moment, he laughed mockingly and shook his head.

What am I thinking? If that girl can develop a new product, won’t the other employees in the R&D department become a joke? I’d better not waste my time. I have an appointment to drink at the bar tonight. Thinking of this, Tim no longer looked at the spare laboratory. He quickly left and took the elevator to the underground garage.

On the other side.

Melody had just walked out of the building of Icy Clear Cosmetics when she looked up and saw the employees of the R&D department waiting for the bus stop in front.

The group of people who were originally chatting happily immediately fell silent the moment they saw her.

Melody nodded slightly as a form of greeting. Just as she was about to hail a taxi, she heard an employee say mockingly, Those with a backer are indeed different. They don’t have to wait for the bus like us.

This sentence instantly opened everyone’s mouths. They began to ridicule Melody.

How did you confuse Mr. Sherman? How did you make him watch you deliver Icy Clear Cosmetics to Silk Beauty Cosmetics?

Country bumpkins should stay in the countryside. Why did you come out to cause trouble? You made all of us lose our jobs because of your ignorance.

I’m dying of laughter. You even deliberately got off work last. Don’t think we don’t know that you’re just slacking in the spare office.

Isn’t this the same as wanting a good reputation after doing a bad thing? Do you think we don’t know what kind of person you are

If you want to help, you might as well not come again tomorrow onward. It will affect our mood.

Melody’s hand froze in mid-air as the taxi brushed past her.

She retracted her hand and listened to everyone’s mockery. It would be a lie to say that she didn’t feel terrible.

However, she also knew these people were countless times better than Leo and Tim. At least they were worried about the company’s safety.

Therefore, Melody did not react and did not intend to fight back.

Everyone kept mocking her. Seeing that Melody did not have any reactions, they gradually lost interest.

Coincidentally, the bus arrived at this moment. They boarded the bus one after another, and the surroundings instantly fell silent.

Melody looked deeply in the direction where the bus left, and her hands that were hanging to her sides slowly tightened.

I will do my best! She thought.

Soon, another taxi arrived. This time Melody did not miss it. After getting into the car, she said. To Central Hospital.

Half an hour later, Melody appeared at the door of Wilmot’s ward.

James was on the phone. when he saw her coming over, he gestured for her to wait beside him.

Melody nodded and waited quietly for James to finish his call.

James asked anxiously, So? Did that guy have seen Mr. Ken? No? It’s good that he didn’t. Remember, you must not let him discover Mr. Ken’s identity! You only have to brush him off. If necessary, you can say Mr. Ken is from overseas and rarely returns to the country.

As James spoke, he gave a few more instructions before hanging up.

Melody observed James’s expression and asked, Did something happen?

James sighed and said, It’s a small thing, but it’s not small either… Something happened to the black market today. Mr. Ken went over personally to deal with it. Coincidentally, Ulric went to the black market. The two of them almost met.

Melody’s heart immediately skipped a beat. Ken’s wings are not fully grown yet. It’s best to hide his strength at this time. If Ulric discovers him, it’ll be troublesome.

She quickly asked, Did Ulric find out? No, Mr. Ken hid in time. It’s those people’s fault for not recognizing Ulric, said James.

Upon hearing this, Melody felt slightly relieved and asked, Why did Ulric go to the black market?

James pursed his lips and said, That guy doesn’t know that the person behind this is Mr. Ken. He wants to discuss collaboration.

Melody nodded and asked, why did you stop me now?

Only then did James remember the serious matter and said. Before Mr. Ken left, he asked me to ask you if you can treat infertility.

Melody did not answer directly. She only said, who’s infertile?

James looked around and said in a low voice, Ms. Murphy.

Melody’s eyelid twitched. Janet? She’s infertile?

She never heard of this in her previous life. She remembered that she had investigated Janet thoroughly. She couldn’t miss such important information.

Melody was puzzled. But she still asked calmly, Did Ken ask me to treat her, or did she suggest it herself?

James sighed and said, Miss Murphy drank alcohol yesterday, causing her gastrointestinal problems. The doctor instructed Mr. Ken to tell her this news when she recovered.

So this is what Ken told me to do? Melody asked.

James looked at Melody unhappily and asked, Miss Fox, aren’t you a doctor? Are you going to leave her in the lurch? Being infertile is almost equivalent to a death sentence for a woman. You can’t refuse to treat Miss Murphy because of personal problems, right?

Melody looked at James coldly. It’s not that I don’t want to save her, but do you think Janet will let me treat her?

If you can treat her, why won’t she let you treat her? Miss Murphy isn’t such a petty person, said James.

Are you saying that I’m a petty one? Melody sounded angry.

I didn’t say that… James mumbled weakly.

Melody was also annoyed. Not only does Janet not stop causing trouble, but her methods are also getting more disgusting.

She said, in that case, tell her when the time comes that I can treat her as long as she’s willing to let me treat her.

Alright! A smile appeared on James’s face again when he heard her words. He said, I’ve already sorted out the information on the company you asked me to check during the day. I’ll send it to your email in a while.

Remember to take a look.

Thank you. She thanked him and went through the door to check on Wilmot.

Wilmot’s condition had improved a lot. Although this complexion was still terrible, his mental state was not bad.

When she entered, Wilmot was looking up something on his tablet.

Upon seeing her, Wilmot quickly put down his tablet and said, Melody, I’ve found information about that woman.

Melody’s eyes lip up as she walked over. Go ahead.

Chapter 240

Wilmot spread the tablet before Melody and pointed to the photo on the screen. That’s her.

Melody lowered her eyes and looked over. The woman in the photo had an exquisite figure was lazy and charming, and had a good appearance. Although she did not have the youthful aura of a young girl, her temperament was calm and elegant.

Wilmot said, Guess how old this woman is.

Melody carefully observed the photo and said a number. In her thirties?

Wrong! Wilmot shook his head and said. She’s already in her fifties!

Melody’s eyes were filled with surprise. A person in her fifties can make herself look like she is only in her thirties? It could be seen how much this person cares about maintenance. Time has not let anyone off, but it sees it has let her off. However, if the other party is a person who knows pharmacology very well, it is not strange for her to maintain her appearance like this.

However, the more Melody looked at the woman in the photo, the more familiar she looked. It was as if she had seen this woman somewhere before.

She frowned slightly and said, Go on.

Wilmot hurriedly continued, This woman’s name is Jennie Taylor. She’s the younger sister of the Taylor family’s current heir. However, for some reason, she was expelled by the Taylor family more than ten years ago. Oh, right, she also has another identity. She’s the Junior apprentice of Quintin Parker, the famous traditional doctor.

Melody’s eyelids twitched twice. She instantly remembered where she had seen this woman before. When Quintin was cleaning the house with her in a year, she found a photo in the storeroom. The woman in the photo was Jennie.

However, Quintin seemed to dislike Jennie very much. After seeing the photo, he immediately lit a fire and burned it.

She recalled what Quintin had said. This woman had betrayed her sect and violated traditional medicine’s principles. She had already been expelled from her sect and later died in an accident. Why is she here now? Was she faking her death, or was she revived because of some kind of fate like me? The more Melody thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

She took a photo of the woman on the tablet with her phone and asked solemnly, Other than these, did you find anything else?

Wilmot shook his head apologetically. That’s all I can find out. This woman is too mysterious. If I want to find out more about her, I’m afraid I’ll have to start with Leo or ask the Taylor family people.

Okay, I see. Melody responded and calmed down to check Wilmot’s pulse.

His pulse was much more stable than during the day but was still weak.

You need to recuperate well. Don’t investigate this thing about Jennie anymore. Resting is the most important thing for you now, Melody said.

Okay, I know. Wilmot nodded and asked reluctantly, Are you leaving?

Yes… Melody replied. I have an appointment tonight to buy laboratory equipment. I have to go to the customs warehouse.

Do you need my help? After Wilmot asked, he realized that there was nothing he could do to help. Helpless he said, I’m sorry, I don’t think I can help now.

It’s fine. It’s a transaction of money and goods. There won’t be any problems, said Melody.

Wilmot nodded, but an inexplicable sense of uneasiness rose in his heart. He could not help but remind Melody a few more times and asked her to share her position at any time. Only then did he feel relieved and let her go.

Melody left the hospital and stood at the crossroads in front of the hospital. Her eyes could not help but look a little lost.

There are still four hours to twelve. where should I go in those four hours? She could not help but laugh at herself. There is no place I want to go in the huge Silverlake.

A trace of sadness flashed across her heart. Fortunately, she was no longer a sentimental person. She quickly regained her spirits and took a taxi back to the Fox family.

She hadn’t gone home for a day and a night. If I go home now, my family will probably explode, Melody thought.

However, it was not something new that her family exploded because of her. She was already used to it.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the door of the Fox villa.

Russel had been watching the news in the living room when Melody pushed the door open and entered. Yolanda was accompanying him nicely, looking humble.

Hearing the commotion, Russell turned to look at Melody.

Melody was already prepared to face the storm from Russell. However, surprisingly, Russell’s face revealed a fatherly amiable smile. Melody, you’re back?

Melody was caught off guard by Russell’s attitude. She was not sure if this was a calm before the storm.

After hesitating for a moment, Melody took the initiative to apologize. I’m sorry Dad, about the Clark family…

Before she could finish her sentence, Russell interrupted her with a wave of his arm. Why are you bringing that annoying thing? Also, you’re not the one at fault. Why are you apologizing?

Melody could not help but be puzzled.

She suddenly remembered that when she met Troy during the day, Troy had said, I made such a big move to withdraw the order, but your father still defended you. Millions of question marks appeared in her mind.

Russell is not angry? What is going on? Has Russell changed? Probably because Melody looked confused, Russell also felt puzzled.

He asked, Didn’t Mr. Swanson tell you that he had already made up for all the losses the Clark family had caused our family?

Huh? Melody was stunned.

Not only that, I have another good news for you! Swanson Universal Entertainment will soon terminate the collaboration with Troy. Mr. Swanson said he would leave this collaboration opportunity to the Justalion Group. My good daughter, you’re my baby! You’ve done a great job! Russell said.

Melody finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that Ken had already arranged everything for her. Something stirred in Melody’s heart.

Russell did not notice the change in her expression and continued, Oh, right, why didn’t you stay at your Margaret’s house for a few more days? You should rest for a few days after suffering such a huge shock.

Melody did not say anything. She guessed it was the excuse Ken found for her because she didn’t go home last night.

However, he had already resolved the problem for me. Why did he still let me stay at his house? Melody could not understand this question no matter how she thought about it. She decided not to think about it anymore. She turned to look at Russell and said, I’m not used to living outside. Coupled with the fact that I was worried about Grandma’s health, I came back.

Russell looked at her with even more satisfaction. You’re indeed a good girl. Then go and see your grandmother quickly. I have to sleep early too. I have to release the news that we will collaborate with Swanson Universal Entertainment in the next few days. I’ll invest more and expand the production line. Otherwise, when massive orders come in, I’m afraid the company won’t be able to handle it, Russell said and went upstairs happily.

In the living room, Yolanda looked at Melody with resentment.

Melody turned a blind eye and walked toward the backyard.

Just as she brushed past Yolanda, Yolanda suddenly said. You must be very proud of yourself, right?

Melody stopped in her tracks and looked at Yolanda expressionlessly. I don’t understand what you mean. Don’t you feel happy that the company has a good opportunity?

Yolanda pursed her lips and did not answer the question. She only warned coldly, Troy will never let you go. You better not be happy too early. The higher you stand, the worse you will fall.

Thank you for your reminder, Yolanda. Melody smiled and didn’t stop.

However, when she reached the backyard, the smile on her face quickly disappeared. What Yolanda said this time is true. Troy will not let the matter rest. However, I can only be cautious before I know what the other party wants to do.

Melody had just left the living room when Mabel returned home.

Mom… Mabel had an ecstatic smile on her face.
