Chapter 476
“Yes!” Samuel immediately agreed, but in the blink of an eye, he asked awkwardly, “Does it have to be today? Can we do it tomorrow?”
Melody was anxious, but she was not someone who was without manners. She compromised and said, “My matter is a little urgent, but since you have an urgent matter, I’ll wait for you to settle it first before looking for you. Is that okay?”
“It’s not that there’s anything urgent on my side. It’s mainly because it’s my old comrade’s birthday today. I have to rush over to celebrate his birthday. As you know, at our age, we don’t have many birthdays left.”
Samuel paused for a moment and said, “But you can come to his house. Let’s meet at his house and talk. How about that?”
“Okay!” Melody breathed a sigh of relief and said, “What’s the address and time?”
“I’ll send it to you. I’ll also give you an electronic invitation. You can’t enter without an invitation.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
After hanging up, Samuel quickly sent over an invitation.
Melody looked at the address. “Naymar Manor…”
She thought, ‘Isn’t this the address where I received a bounty on the black market forum? The user on the forum asked me to bring a painting of Morin Palmer over today.’
If not for this invitation, she would have forgotten about it. She did not expect such a coincidence.
Melody replied: [Got it.] Then, she quickly logged into the black market forum on her laptop.
She had been busy recently and had not logged into the forum for a long time.
As soon as he logged in, the backstage was filled with the user’s private messages.
She scrolled to the top. It was a message from three days ago. [Hey, it’s my grandfather’s birthday in two days. I’ll confirm the time with you and send you the electronic invitation. Hello? Where did you go? Hey! Are you a fucking liar? Fuck! Do you know who I am? How dare you lie to me? Do you want to die?]
The rest of the message was filled with vulgarities. It was obvious how angry the other party was. However, Melody did not feel angry.
The other party’s bounty was very high. He put up 10 million dollars and promised to give her another 10 million dollars after the matter was completed. Moreover, because the other party had misunderstood her, he specifically transferred 2 million dollars to her account first.
Despite the customer’s sincerity, she had been out of contact. If it were her, she would also be furious.
The latest news was today. [Just you wait! When my Grandpa’s birthday is over, I’ll bring the police to you immediately!]
Melody sighed, feeling guilty for her forgetfulness.
Seeing that the other party was online, she quickly replied: [ Sorry, I was busy a few days ago and didn’t log into the forum.]
Less than two seconds after the message was sent, the other party replied: [Are you sure you haven’t seen my message and aren’t a liar?]
Melody quickly typed: [I’m not a liar. Don’t worry. I’ll be there on time today.]
The other party replied: [It doesn’t matter if you’re there or not. What’s important is that you must get Morin to come over. Otherwise, I’ll call the police!]
After sending it, the other party even replied with a furious emoji.
[Don’t worry, Morin will definitely be there.] After replying, she couldn’t help but smile. She felt that this person was quite interesting.
She wondered what expression that person would have if he knew that he had cursed a bunch of vulgarities to Morin who he had begged for.
[I’ll see you at six, then.] The other party went offline after sending this message.
There were still more than five hours before six o’clock. Melody did not log out of the forum immediately. Instead, she began to browse the exchange area.
There were no bounty posts in the black market forum’s exchange area, but there would often be some useful information.
Melody flipped through it. Other than some gossip, she noticed a post titled [Those who need medicine, come in. Those who understand will understand.]
She was especially sensitive to the word “medicine” and clicked on the post without thinking.
The content of the post was very simple. There was only a string of messy codes, making people confused.
Most of the replies were from people who could not understand this string of gibberish. Everyone had the right to browse this area, even the lowest-level users could enter, so many ordinary people could see this post.
However, Melody immediately saw that this was a string of code that needed to be analyzed. She used her hacking skills and quickly translated the code. [I’m a malicious doctor. If you need any help, you can contact me via email. Of course, you can also contact me if you are my peers. We can enhance the team. My email is…]
Melody narrowed her eyes and thought, ‘What kind of idiot dares to be so arrogant and openly announce his identity as the malicious doctor?’
For the first half of her master’s life, he had been fighting to destroy malicious doctors. Now that her master was old, as his disciple, this had become Melody’s responsibility.
Melody memorized this email and sent a message tentatively with a newly registered email account. [Hello, I need some medicine. How do you usually trade?]
After sending the email, Melody waited patiently for a while but did not receive a reply.
She felt that this person probably did not see the information or was reviewing her identity.
However, she was not worried about her identity being exposed. She had used hacking skills to fake her IP address and personal information, so the other party could not trace it back to her.
“Miss Fox.” At this moment, David pushed open the door and entered with a takeout box.
Melody turned off the computer and thanked him with a smile, “Thank you.”
“It’s nothing! If it weren’t for you, I might have been killed by a car. Miss Fox, you’re my savior! This is nothing.” David’s eyes were filled with gratitude.
Melody smiled and did not say anything. She took the takeout box and started eating.
“There’s one more thing,” David continued, “There’s a girl who’s about your age outside. She said that you asked her to work here for a month. The clinic has been busy recently. I don’t know if it’s true, so I asked her to wait in the lounge.” Melody immediately thought of the girl called Nana Jensen.
At Ken’s class reunion, Nana had lost a bet because of Yannick’s painting. The bet was that she would come over to do chores for Melody for a month.
She said, “Yes, I asked her to come. Show her around the clinic first. I’ll go over after eating.”
“Okay!” David nodded and turned to leave after unscrewing the cap of the mineral water for her.
Melody looked at the unscrewed bottle cap and felt a sense of satisfaction.
Compared to her previous life, she was much happier in this life.
She was very content and happy. However, she would never stop taking revenge.
Melody quickly finished her food, got up, and walked out.
When she found Nana, David was introducing Nana to the various rooms of the clinic. “Downstairs is the place to grab medicine. There’s an operating theater and massage room in the row of rooms at the back. The doctor’s office is on the second floor, but we’re short of people now. Many of the offices are empty…”
Nana picked her ears impatiently. “Are you done? Where is Melody?”
Chapter 477
Nana said, “I thought you were going to take me to her. I didn’t expect you to waste my precious time here. Let me tell you, I don’t have time to waste with you here. Tell Melody to get out immediately!”
David now admired and appreciated Melody to the extreme. Seeing Nana’s attitude, he immediately frowned. “Miss, please mind your words. What do you mean by get out? I advise you to apologize immediately for what you said! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not caring that you’re a girl!” Nana glanced disdainfully at David, who was wearing a white coat. “You think you can make me apologize to you? Do you know who I am?”
As soon as David spoke, Melody immediately walked up and called out, “David.”
“Miss Fox, you’re here!” David pointed at Nana angrily and said, “This woman was rude to you!”
Melody looked at Nana expressionlessly. “If I remember correctly, Miss Nana, you came here to fulfill your promise after you lost a bet to me, right?”
When Nana saw that Melody had finally appeared, she raised her chin and said, “You’re finally here, but I’m not here to do chores for you!”
Melody raised her eyebrows indifferently. “Are you going back on your word?”
Nana’s face darkened. She took out the check that she had prepared in advance and threw it at Melody’s face.
Melody reacted quickly and caught the check before it hit her face.
“200 thousand dollars?” She looked at the number on the check and asked Nana, “What do you mean?”
Nana curled her lips and said, “200 thousand dollars is enough for you to hire hundreds of cleaning crew. I know you’re not from a good family, and you were chased out by the Fox family. You’re penniless now. That’s why I specially sent this sum of money to you for emergencies. However, the condition is that you can’t tell outsiders that I didn’t keep my promise.”
Melody chuckled.
Nana frowned and asked, “What are you laughing at?” Melody tore the check and said slowly, “Forgive me for not being able to lie. Miss Jense, you want to maintain your good reputation of keeping your word, but you don’t want to honor the bet. How can there be such a good thing in the world?”
“You bitch!” Nana raised her hand to slap Melody in anger.
However, just as she raised her hand in the air, she was intercepted by Melody before she could land. “Nana, I advise you to restrain yourself. This is Herbathrive. It’s not a place for you to behave atrociously!”
Herbathrive was short of manpower, but it was short of capable doctors, not a handyman.
The reason why Melody made such a bet was because she wanted Nana to turn over a new leaf and learn to respect others. But now it seemed that Nana could never learn it.
Nana tried to break free from Melody’s grip.
However, to her surprise, Melody’s figure was clearly thinner than hers, but the strength of her slender hand was terrifying. It was as if she was being clamped by a pair of pliers, and she could not break free at all.
“Bitch! Let go!” She gritted her teeth in anger and quickly reached out her other hand to grab Melody’s arm.
Seeing this, Melody pushed Nana back.
Nana missed and fell to the ground. She gasped in pain.
When a passing patient saw this, he immediately looked over curiously.
Nana was furious and embarrassed. She glared at the patient and scolded, “What are you looking at? Do you believe that I’ll gouge out your eyes?”
As soon as she said this, the people who had originally come to watch the show left one after another. Instead, it was Herbathrive’s employees who rushed up and asked Melody if he needed help.
“There’s no need. You can all go about your business.” After dismissing Herbathrive’s men, Melody looked up at Nana again and said coldly, “Get lost! Don’t disturb my patient’s treatment. I won’t take your money, but I won’t do your request either.”
Nana glared at Melody and gritted her teeth.
“Bitch, just you wait!” After saying that, Nana ran downstairs.
David looked at Nana’s departing figure and asked in confusion, “Miss Fox, what’s going on? Who is this person?”
Melody sighed and said, “I met her at a friend’s class reunion…”
She briefly explained how she had made a bet with Nana over a painting.
After David heard this, he revealed a look of disdain. “She simply doesn’t want to fulfill her promise. How can there be such a person in the world? If I were her, I would come over obediently to fulfill the bet. This way, people would think highly of me and save some face.”
Melody shrugged. “Some people are just like that. It’s just a pity…
“What’s a pity?”
Melody looked at the cheque fragments on the ground and said regretfully, “Unfortunately, I was impulsive and tore 200 thousand dollars apart. The next time I meet someone like Nana, I should take the money directly. In this world, it’s not easy to earn 200 thousand dollars.”
The corners of David’s mouth twitched. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
He could only change the topic and ask, “Why did you let the two scammers go just like that? I thought about it for the entire night, but I couldn’t figure out the reason.”
Melody flicked David’s forehead. “Sometimes knowing is better than not knowing. But don’t worry, they’ll be here soon.”
“Return? How could they have walked right into the trap?”
“You’ll see. Anyway, if they come knocking on your door, let me know as soon as you can. Got it?”
“Okay.” Although David agreed, he did not think that the scammer couple would dare to come knocking on his door.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion downstairs. “Get out of the way! Melody, get out here!”
Hearing the commotion, Melody immediately leaned against the railing on the second floor and leaned over to look down.
Nana, who had just left, returned. However, unlike before, she did not come alone this time. Instead, she brought a large group of hooligans.
Downstairs, Nana looked up and met Melody’s gaze.
She sneered and said arrogantly, “You dare to provoke me? Melody, your retribution is coming! Get down immediately, or I’ll smash this clinic!”
David pulled Melody’s sleeve nervously. “Miss Fox, are the bodyguards you called yesterday still around?”
“Don’t worry, there’s no need for them.” Melody gave David a reassuring look and walked downstairs fearlessly.
David hurriedly followed closely behind. Although he was afraid, he would not run away just because of that, leaving Melody here alone.
*****
Because of the hooligans brought by Nana, the people who came to the clinic to get the medicine were afraid of being implicated, so they ran away as quickly as possible.
When David followed Melody downstairs, he also noticed that a man who had injured his leg suddenly did not even need his walking stick. He threw away his walking stick and ran out. It was impossible to tell that his leg was injured.
He revealed an indescribable expression, then glared angrily at Nana.
He thought, ‘It is all because of this woman that all the patients in the clinic ran away. If these people gossiped, who would dare to come to this clinic in the future?’
Chapter 478
David’s gaze was noticed by Nana. She frowned unhappily and spouted nonsense at David, “Hey, if you dare to look at me like that again, I’ll dig out your eyeballs first!”
David was shocked and subconsciously hid behind Melody. Nana was very satisfied with David’s reaction. She met Melody’s gaze provocatively. “Melody, I originally wanted to resolve this matter peacefully and even brought money with me sincerely. You were the one who forced me to bring people here to cause trouble. However, on account of Mr. Swanson and the others, I can give you one last chance. As long as you kneel down and apologize to me in front of everyone in your clinic and agree to what I said before, I will forgive your stupidity and rudeness.”
Melody did not take Nana seriously at all.
She twisted her neck impatiently. Then, she rolled up her sleeves and asked, “Do you want to come one at a time, or do you want to come at me together?”
Before Nana could say anything, Melody said again, “Forget it. Let’s attack together so that we don’t waste each other’s time.”
Nana was so angry that her blood surged and her entire face turned red. “Good, Melody, you’re very bold!”
She took two steps back and waved her hand. “Attack! I’ll give 200 thousand dollars to whoever can catch her first!” When they heard the words “200 thousand dollars”, the eyes of the gangsters brought by Nana immediately lit up with greed.
The first to bear the brunt was a man with dyed blond hair. He was tall and strong. He used his gaze to force the others to stay away. Then, he walked towards Melody and spoke in a disdainful tone. “I’ll give you a chance. Come with me and apologize to Miss Nana. Otherwise, I’ll beat you up!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the blondie felt a sudden airflow in front of him.
Before he could react, a powerful fist had already smashed towards him.
He had no time to dodge and could only watch as the fist smashed into the bridge of his nose.
For a moment, he felt soreness at the same time, and his entire face quickly swelled up. He felt a warm current gushing out of the tip of his nose. He reached out and touched it. It was a nosebleed.
“You, you actually dare to hit me?” The man finally reacted. He grabbed the baseball bat in his hand and knocked it on Melody’s head.
“Be careful!” David was about to step forward to help when he saw that Melody had grabbed the baseball bat firmly.
The next second, Melody spun the baseball bat in her hand. Before the man could react, he spun as well.
When the man turned around, Melody raised her right foot and kicked the man’s back.
Caught off guard, the man turned around and knelt in front of Nana. After these two rounds, the man could not help but be shocked.
For people like them who fought all year round, they only needed two rounds to sense if their opponent was strong or weak.
He knew that Melody’s skills were far above his.
In fact, Melody only needed to use 10% of her strength seriously to defeat him.
After realizing this, the man knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.
Melody glanced at the man indifferently and looked at Nana coldly. “I’ve already said, all of you come at me together. Don’t waste my time.”
When Nana saw the man’s cowardice and heard Melody’s words, she stomped her feet angrily. “Attack! As long as you don’t kill her, you can hit her however you want. I’ll bear all the consequences!”
As soon as she said this, the others rushed forward one after another, vowing to cripple Melody.
David and the rest of the staff looked at each other. Just as they were about to go up and help Melody, they saw that the first person to rush towards Melody was beaten to the ground in the blink of an eye.
It was so fast that they could not even see when Melody did it.
When the group of hooligans following closely behind saw this, they were so frightened that they did not dare to go forward again.
Although they were tempted by the money, they felt that their lives were more important.
No one knew who started it, but the group of people turned around and ran out.
The speed of their escape was no different from seeing a ghost.
In the blink of an eye, only a few people who came with Nana were left due to the fact that they couldn’t get up from the group.
Nana was so frightened that her face instantly turned pale, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. “How could this be…” She thought, ‘How can Melody have such skills!’
“You…” She couldn’t say a complete sentence for a long time.
Melody took a few steps forward and grabbed Nana’s collar tightly.
“Don’t hit me!” Nana was so scared that she shut her eyes tightly.
However, Melody did not make a move. She only said coldly, “The patients were all scared away by your people. Some of them did not pay. Coupled with the things your people damaged, all the losses add up to 200 thousand dollars. Give me the money now, or… you won’t be able to leave. This money is the medical fee to pay for yourself.”
Nana’s face darkened. She was terrified. She dared to open her eyes.
However, the next moment, when she met Melody’s cold eyes, she was so frightened that her entire body tensed up. Melody’s aura was too cold and powerful.
She did not even have the guts to think about how a country bumpkin like Melody could have such skills and such a powerful aura.
“Make a decision. Choose one yourself,” Melody urged impatiently.
Nana swallowed hard and said without hesitation, “I’ll pay! I’ pay, alright? Don’t hit me…”
Only then did Melody let go of Nana’s hand. Nana was free, but she still did not dare to breathe loudly. After quickly filling out the check, she asked timidly, “Can I leave now?” After Melody confirmed that there was no problem with the check, she raised her right eyebrow and said, “I hope this is the last time we fight. If there’s a next time, it won’t be something that can be settled with money.”
“I understand…”
“Get lost!” Upon hearing this, Nana turned around and quickly ran away from the clinic. Soon, she was gone.
The employees of Herbathrive were stunned for a long time after they saw this scene.
David was the first to react. He walked forward in
admiration and said, “Miss Fox… Oh no, I should call you Boss. Boss, can you teach me martial arts? I want to learn!”
Melody calmly handed the check to David. “Get someone to withdraw the money and put it in the clinic’s account to make up for today’s losses. I’ll make the decision to give the extra money as a bonus for everyone at the end of the year.”
As soon as she said this, everyone in Herbathrive immediately cheered.
Melody waited for everyone to quieten down before she turned to look at David and said, “As for martial arts, forget it. Focus on your medical skills.”
David immediately stood up and saluted Melody. “Yes!”
Melody could not help but laugh at that. She looked up at the others and saw that everyone was looking at her the same way as David.
Originally, a portion of Herbathrive’s remaining staff were not convinced by her.
However, after what had happened in the past few days, all of them became loyal to her.
At this moment, every staff was united. It was something that Herbathrive did not have previously.
Time flew by, and it was five in the afternoon. Melody drove to Serenity Villa and prepared to attend the banquet that night.
Chapter 479
On the way, Melody was still worrying about what to wear at night.
After all, with her ugly face, she would look like a clown if she dressed too gorgeously. If she dressed too low-key and plain, people would look down on her even more.
She did not care if others thought highly of her, but she was going to the banquet as “Morin” today. She had to tidy up a little.
However, when she returned to Serenity Villa, Susan stuffed a gift box into her hand.
She asked, “And this is?”
Susan winked at her. “You’ll know when you open it.”
Melody opened the box skeptically and found a white dress quietly placed inside.
The gown was traditional style. It was a modified dress that was made in an old-fashioned style. The low-key prints accentuated one’s temperament. The design of the bubble sleeves reduced the maturity of the gown and added a hint of playfulness. This gown suited her temperament very well.
“This dress…” Melody looked at Susan and saw the smile on Susan’s face become even brighter. “Mr. Swanson prepared it for you. He said that you’re going to a banquet tonight.”
Melody had indeed told Ken that she was going to a
banquet to meet Samuel. However, she did not expect Ken to be so thorough.
Susan observed Melody’s expression as he continued, “Mr. Swanson is really attentive to you. I’ve never seen him reveal this side of him before. He also said that he knew that you don’t like to put on makeup. This time, he didn’t find a makeup artist for you, but he bought some makeup for you. If you want to use it, you can use it yourself. He’s a man, but he even considered this. It seems that Mr. Swanson really loves you.”
When Melody heard this, she could not help but laugh at herself in her heart.
She thought that it was normal for there to be a misunderstanding.
However, she knew very well that Ken was so attentive because he wanted her to meet Samuel successfully and pull out the mastermind, Ulric.
However, she felt that there was no need to explain these things to Susan. Anyway, when their “marriage” ended, Susan would naturally know.
Melody nodded and did not say anything. She only asked, ” Where is Ken?”
“He’s working in bed,” Susan sighed and said, “Mrs. Swanson, you should talk some sense into Mr. Swanson. His legs are injured, so he should rest well. Work is important, but his body is the capital for everything.”
Melody nodded and went upstairs after changing into a gown in the living room.
She curled her fingers and knocked on the door. “Come in.” Melody pushed the door open and entered. She saw Ken sitting on the bed and reading a report attentively.
She frowned slightly and said, “Ken.”
Ken paused and turned to look at her.
When he saw her in that white dress, his eyes flashed with an unfathomable light.
The light disappeared in an instant. Ken said with a natural expression, “I thought it was Susan. Do you like this dress?” Melody nodded and walked to the bed. She reached out and took the tablet from Ken’s hand.
Under Ken’s questioning gaze, she said, “Don’t forget that not only are your legs injured, but you also have many blisters. If you don’t rest well, those places will easily become inflamed. When the time comes, you’ll have a fever and won’t be able to do anything.”
Ken’s eyes moved slightly. He looked at her deeply and asked, “Are you concerned about me?”
“Of course…”
Ken’s lower lip curled. He was in a good mood.
However, in the next second, Melody spoke again, “Your injuries are all because of me. If anything happens to you again, I won’t be able to live with my conscience.”
Ken’s smile suddenly became smaller.
“Conscience?” Ken glanced meaningfully at Melody and said, “I think you’re the most heartless person.”
The first time they met, she stole his dagger and then his heart. He felt that she was simply a heartless little mouse. “What do you mean?” Melody was confused. She did not understand why Ken would say that.
“You think about it.” Ken did not explain. He picked up the creamy vegetable turkey soup beside him and prepared to drink it.
“Wait.” Melody hurriedly went forward to take his bowl.
The top layer of the soup had already condensed, which meant that it had long turned cold.
She frowned and said, “It’s already cold. You can’t drink it anymore. I’ll get Susan to heat it up for you.”
Ken was angry. He said lightly, “You don’t have to worry about me. Prepare to go to the banquet.”
“Okay.” Melody did not notice the change in Ken’s emotions. She was worried about the banquet. She stood up and walked out. Soon, she disappeared from the door and closed it carefully.
Ken looked at the closed room with an indescribably subtle expression.
He thought, ‘She… left just like that?’
The next second, the door was pushed open again. It was Melody.
Ken’s eyes lit up, but his tone was still indifferent.
Ken asked, “Anything else?”
“There’s one more thing I need your help with.” Melody walked in and told him about Nana coming to cause trouble. Then, she said, “Herbathrive still has to deal with the poison. There are a lot of things to do. I don’t want her to interfere.”
“I understand. I’ll take care of it.”
“Alright, sorry to trouble you.” Melody turned around and left.
Nana’s family had barely stepped into the upper class. It was not a big problem. She could actually deal with Nana herself. However, Nana was Ken’s classmate after all, so she felt that it was better to let Ken do it.
The door was closed again. Ken immediately felt annoyed. However, he immediately laughed self-deprecatingly.
He was very unlike himself just now. His emotions fluctuated greatly, like a little kid.
He slowly lit a cigarette. After a while, he finally got rid of his messy emotions. After calming down, he made a call.
*****
On the other side, Nana was rushing home from Herbathrive.
Looking at her reflection in the car window, she felt like a stray dog.
The more she thought about it, the more indignant she felt. She slammed the car window in frustration.
The driver was shocked and asked nervously, “Miss Jensen, are you alright?”
“Hurry up and drive home!” Nana urged impatiently.
She thought, ‘Melody is just an abandoned girl, but she actually dared to ride on my head!’
She could only blame herself for knowing too little about Melody. She only called some hooligans on the street to cause trouble. If she had known that Melody was so skilled, she would have found a professional fighter.
At the thought of this, Nana’s eyes suddenly lit up.
She thought, ‘Right! Professional fighters!’
She didn’t know how to hire professional thugs, but she felt that her mother must have known. Her mother usually doted on her the most. Knowing that she was almost
beaten up, she felt that her mother would definitely stand up for her.
“Hurry up and drive!” Nana urged the driver again excitedly.
Soon, the car arrived at the Jensen family.
Nana ran into the house and cried to Talia Jensen.
Just as she had expected, when Talia found out that her daughter had been bullied by Melody, she immediately flew into a rage. “Who does she think she is? How dare she bully my daughter?”
Chapter 480
When Nana saw her mother’s reaction, she immediately put on an even more aggrieved expression and said with tears in her eyes, “Mom, don’t be too angry. It doesn’t matter if she bullies me. I’ll just endure it. I came back to tell you just to vent my emotions. Please don’t be rash.”
When Talia heard Nana’s forbearing words, she was even more furious. “What do you mean by enduring it? The word ‘ endure’ doesn’t exist in our family’s dictionary! Not to mention that she has already been chased out of the Fox family, even if she’s still the daughter of the Fox family, our family can still deal with them openly!”
Nana was overjoyed in her heart, but she deliberately asked timidly, “Mom, you’re not going to find a professional fighter to teach her a lesson, are you?”
“Now that you mention it, I remember. We have a distant relative who works in this field. I heard that he seems to be connected to the black market.”
“Black market?” Nana could not hide the anticipation in her eyes.
She thought, ‘Anyone who provokes people from the black market will only die!’
“That’s right!” Talia nodded and said, “I’ll get him to bring people over immediately. We’ll go to Herbathrive together and get back to her for you. When the time comes, you can teach her a lesson however you want. Don’t be soft-hearted!”
Nana pretended to be troubled and nodded. “Alright!”
Soon, Talia called someone over.
That person even brought dozens of men in suits who looked very fierce.
Nana felt that these people were on a completely different level from the hooligans she recruited previously.
There was only a ruffian aura on the hooligans, but the people in front of her had a murderous aura.
She thought, ‘Perhaps… these people can simply kill Melody.’
Nana’s heart skipped a beat. She heard the man in the lead say with a faint smile, “Talia, long time no see.”
Talia nodded. “I’ve already made it clear to you over the phone. Help me teach someone a lesson. There’s no need to kill her. Just dislocate one of her arms.”
“No problem, but…” the man rubbed his thumb and index finger together and said, “I have to feed these people. The price…”
“The price is not a problem! I can give you twice the usual.” “Talia, you are so generous as usual. Shall we set off now?” “Sure.”
If she did not help her daughter vent her anger today, Talia would not be able to sleep at night.
However, just as the group of people reached the door, they bumped into Dennis Jensen, who had just returned home.
Dennis’s expression was terrible, and his words were as cold as ice. “Where are you going?”
Dennis’s personality was different from Talia and Nana’s. He was a person who did not like to cause trouble.
Talia was shocked and said guiltily, “My distant relatives are here. I was about to take them out for a meal. Why did you get off work so early today?”
Nana was also a little nervous. Dennis’s company was in a period of rapid development and was about to start preparing to go public, so the company had a lot of things to do.
She thought, ‘Usually, Father would get off work very late, but it is only five o’clock now. Why is he back already?’
Dennis sneered in a low voice and said, “Go eat? From the looks of it, you don’t look like you’re going to eat. You look more like you’re going to war.”
“How could that be?” Talia smiled stiffly and said, “Hubby, what’s wrong with you today? We’re just going out for a meal. Right, guys?”
Nana quickly nodded. “Yes, Dad, we’re really going to eat. Why don’t you come with us?”
Dennis sneered again, looking like he couldn’t be bothered to talk to them anymore. He directly threw a document in his hand at Talia’s face.
Talia was frightened by Dennis’s attitude. Her fingers trembled as she picked up the document from her face.
When she saw that it was a contract for divorce, her face instantly lost all color. “Divorce? Hubby, how can you make such a joke?”
Nana was also shocked. She hurriedly snatched the document from Talia’s hand and flipped through it carefully. It was indeed a divorce agreement. Moreover, it said that Talia and Nana needed to leave with nothing.
She instantly felt her temples tighten as she looked at Dennis in horror. “Dad, why did you want Mom and me to leave with nothing?”
Dennis said coldly, “I’ve had enough of you two. I usually turn a blind eye to the stupid things you do, but today, you provoked someone you should not and even dared to ask me why?”
“Someone I shouldn’t have provoked?” Nana’s eyes widened as a name surfaced in her mind.
She asked in disbelief, “Are you talking about Melody?”
“Yes!” Dennis snorted coldly from the tip of his nose, “Get lost now! I don’t want to see you again!”
With that, he ordered the servants at home to chase the two of them out. Then, he locked the door and prevented them from entering.
Talia did not expect that Melody would actually make her be kicked out of the family by her husband.
When she came back to her senses, she pounded on the door and shouted, “Hubby, open the door! Let’s talk nicely. Don’t be like this!”
At this moment, Nana could not be bothered to take revenge on Melody. She cried and begged, “Dad, don’t chase us out…”
The man Talia called over and said impatiently, “Guys, do you still want to teach that person a lesson? If you don’t, I’m leaving.”
Talia bit her lip and said, “I have something on at home. You guys can leave first. I’ll call you next time.”
The man shrugged in disdain and quickly left with his men.
After the man left, Nana and Talia kept shouting at the door, but what awaited them was not Dennis’s soft heart, but a police car. Dennis couldn’t bear the disturbance and actually called the police.
With the police chasing them away, the two of them had no choice but to leave the neighborhood.
“Mom, what should we do now? Dad used to love me very much…” Nana’s eyes were red from crying.
Talia was angry and dispirited. She glared at Nana and scolded, “Idiot! It’s true that your father dotes on you, but he’s more afraid that the company he painstakingly built will be destroyed. With his current net worth, he can definitely marry and have another child. Perhaps he’ll even have a son. Do you think you’ll still be important at that time? Once your father makes a decision, he will never turn back. If you want him to change his mind, you can only ask for Melody’s forgiveness and resolve the root of the matter.”
Talia paced back and forth in frustration. When Nana heard that she had to have Melody forgive her, her eyes widened indignantly.
She gritted her teeth hard and asked, “But how could Melody ruin his career? She’s just an abandoned daughter from the Fox family who was raised in the countryside.”
“But from what your father said, it’s precisely because you provoked Melody. If she can threaten your father, it means that she is an extraordinary person! Think about it carefully. Does she have a backer?”
“Backer…” Nana suddenly thought of Ken’s attitude towards Melody at the class reunion.
A gust of wind blew, and Nana felt cold all over.
