Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 746, 747, 748, 749, and 750)

Chapter 746

The people at the press conference had yet to react to why Zara Wentworth’s press conference had so many transfer records.

However, Yana Norangel reacted in an instant.

Those transfers were her assistant’s reward for bribing a marketing account and getting them to help distribute Zara Wentworth’s dirt!

However, who would have thought that Zara Wentworth would actually find out the transfer records of her studio!

Once the matter was exposed, she did not dare to imagine what the consequences would be!

Seeing Melody Fox put the microphone to her mouth again, Yana Norangel’s first reaction was to not let Thomas Bush and Xiao He see what happened at the press conference.

As long as the two of them did not see it, she still had a chance to suppress the matter.

Thinking of this, Yana Norangel suddenly ran towards the computer like a madwoman.

However, it was unknown if it was fate or if the high heels she was wearing were too high. Yana Norangel had just taken two steps when the heels suddenly broke with a crack.

She instantly lost her balance and fell face down.

“Nangong? Are you alright?” Xiao He was shocked. Just as he was about to ask Thomas Bush to help Yana Norangel up, he heard Melody Fox’s voice coming from the computer screen.

“Everyone must be very curious why I posted the transfer records of Studio Yana Norangel, right?”

“No! No-” Yana Norangel ignored the pain and quickly got up from the ground to unplug the computer.

However, Xiao He vaguely realized that something was wrong. He quickly stopped Yana Norangel and grabbed her arm tightly, preventing her from going forward.

“Let me go! Let me go!” Yana Norangel struggled with all her might.

“What are you waiting for? Catch her properly!” Xiao He ordered Thomas Bush loudly.

Only then did Thomas Bush react. He quickly helped Xiao He hold down the almost crazy Yana Norangel.

“Yana Norangel, what are you doing? Are you crazy in front of President Xiao? Calm down!”

Thomas Bush had just finished reprimanding her when Melody Fox’s voice came from the computer screen again.

“That’s because Yana Norangel was the one who released all the scandals online. On this big screen is the transfer record that Yana Norangel made to these marketing accounts.”

“What?!”

The scene was instantly in an uproar.

In Xiao He’s office, Xiao He and Thomas Bush widened their eyes in shock.

Melody Fox tapped on the phone screen a few more times. The name of the recipient and the marketing account labeled behind the name appeared on the LED screen.

Then, Melody Fox played another recording.

さ

In the recording, Yana Norangel’s assistant replaced Yana Norangel and contacted various marketing accounts to fabricate Zara Wentworth’s phone records.

Xiao He looked at the computer screen and then turned to look at the collapsed Yana Norangel. What else did he not understand?

He let go of Yana Norangel and his mind went blank. He sat on the spot in a daze, like a frosted eggplant on the verge of death.

Xiao He looked at Yana Norangel coldly, then looked at Thomas Bush with an ugly expression and said, “The artist under you plotted against another artist. As a manager, don’t you know this?”

Thomas Bush was shocked and quickly explained.

“I don’t know, President Xiao! I only know that the two of them have been at odds for a long time. For this reason, I specially asked her today if she was involved in Zara Wentworth’s matter. She said that she wasn’t, so I thought…”

“She said she didn’t, and you believed her?”

“I…” Thomas Bush choked. He did not know how to explain it, but he hated Yana Norangel to death in his heart.

Yana Norangel was the one who thought she was smart and dug her own grave!

“Hurry up and apologize to President Xiao!”

Thomas Bush was so angry that he kicked Yana Norangel.

Yana Norangel was in pain and her face turned pale.

She knew that she could not hide it, so she could only cry and beg for mercy.

“President Xiao, I was wrong. I won’t dare to do it again. I was just confused, so…”

“Shut up!” Xiao He massaged his temples with a headache. “Do you know that Zara Wentworth and… Forget it! You should be glad that Zara Wentworth clarified herself today. Otherwise, even ten of you wouldn’t be enough to ban you!”

Xiao He was only halfway through his sentence. He wanted to mention that Zara Wentworth and Ken Swanson had an extraordinary relationship, but it was not his place to interfere in Ken Swanson’s matters, so he swallowed his words.

Although Thomas Bush was confused, he was an old fox after all. He immediately realized that the backer behind Zara Wentworth might be stronger than CEO Xiao.

This realization sent a chill down his spine.

Thinking about how he had been secretly making things difficult for Zara Wentworth not long ago, not finding her a high-ranking guest, not giving her any resources, and even helping Yana Norangel, he was so frightened that his face began to turn pale.

“President… President Xiao… What should we do now?” Thomas Bush asked Xiao He in a daze.

“Hmph!” Xiao He broke out in a cold sweat from the tip of his nose and said, “Let whoever courts death die. Do you need me to teach you how to do such a small thing?”

He wanted Yana Norangel to publicly admit that he had slandered Zara Wentworth and apologize to him.

This was tantamount to nailing Yana Norangel to the rack of shame.

It could be imagined that once this was done, Yana Norangel’s future path to stardom would be completely ruined.

Yana Norangel was an artist that Thomas Bush had painstakingly nurtured. It was not easy for her to climb to her current position as a first- or second-tier artist. It was really heartbreaking to abandon her just like that.

However, since Xiao He had already given the order, he could not disobey Xiao He’s orders. He could only brace himself and say, “Yana Norangel, bear the responsibility for what you did wrong. Get up and follow me!”

Yana Norangel asked with a pale face, “Where are we going…”

Thomas Bush closed his eyes and said, “Go to Zara Wentworth’s press conference.”

This meant that he was giving up on her completely!

Yana Norangel was so anxious that her face turned red.

She grabbed Thomas Bush’s sleeve and cried, “No! Thomas, you can’t do this to me! I’ve been with you for so many years. Please give me a chance!”

Thomas Bush knew very well that if he continued to shield Yana Norangel today, he would probably have no place in Swanson Universal Entertainment in the future.

Therefore, he shook off Yana Norangel’s hand and said, “Cut the crap! If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?! Are you leaving or not? If you don’t leave, I’ll get someone to carry you down! The situation will only get worse when we reach the press conference!”

Yana Norangel had no choice but to follow Thomas Bush out.

On the way, she begged Thomas Bush for mercy a few times, but Thomas Bush had already made up his mind. He said directly, “If you don’t want to be more embarrassing, after apologizing, announce your withdrawal from the industry.”

“Leave, leave the circle? I don’t want to leave the circle…”

Ever since the incident with the production team, her father had been demoted to an ordinary employee by the company. His monthly income was only 7,1,600 dollars per month.

Although she had saved up some savings over the years, if she left the industry and all the projects she was working on had to be compensated, she would become completely poor.

The more Yana Norangel thought about it, the more afraid she became. When she arrived at the entrance of the press conference, She was so frightened that she knelt down in front of Thomas Bush.

“Thomas, please let me live!”

Thomas Bush sneered and said, “Don’t be stupid! Who asked you to provoke someone you shouldn’t have? It’s not that I won’t let you live, but you didn’t leave a way out for yourself!”

Thomas Bush reached out and pushed Yana Norangel in.

色

Chapter 747

Thomas Bush had always been a cold-hearted person. Once he decided to give up on Yana Norangel, he did not care what would happen to the other party.

Yana Norangel was caught off guard and pushed in.

At that moment, everyone subconsciously looked towards the door.

Everyone was already feeling indignant because Yana Norangel had bribed the marketing account, to defame Zara Wentworth. When they saw Yana Norangel in person, the disgust in their eyes almost overflowed.

“Yana Norangel, you still have the cheek to appear? Are you here to apologize to the victim?”

The first to speak was the harshest reporter.

He changed his attitude toward Zara Wentworth and turned around to defend Zara Wentworth.

The reason was that he really wanted to eat another bowl of pasta again!

The others also felt indignant for Zara Wentworth.

“You’re both artists from the same company. Yana Norangel, why are you bullying your juniors like this? Are you afraid that your status will be replaced?”

“Yana Norangel, there were rumors in the early years that you often bullied artists from the same company. Other than Zara Wentworth, who else did you bully?”

“How many times have you bribed a marketing account to make money for yourself?”

“The likes online were intentional, right? It was to mislead everyone into thinking that Zara Wentworth really had a sugar daddy.”

“Yana Norangel, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?”

The reporters were getting more and more aggressive. Yana Norangel was scolded like a street rat.

The viewers in the live stream were even more excited than the reporters.

“To think that I’ve been her fan for three years. What a waste!”

“Does anyone remember Qiu Lin who was scolded until she left the industry last year? When Yana Norangel also liked her scandal, causing public opinion to snowball. Perhaps Qiu Lin was also forced to leave the industry.”

“I agree with the person above. When Fox Qiu Lin competes with her for the same endorsement, after Qiu Lin leaves the industry, this endorsement will belong to Yana Norangel. I don’t believe that she didn’t participate in Qiu Lin’s incident.”

“My heart aches for my Zaza. It’s too tragic to be targeted by such a vicious woman.”

“A blood letter from one person, Yana Norangel, get out of the entertainment industry!”

At the scene, David Marrow took the lead and shouted, “Apologize!”

“Apologize!”

“Apologize!!”

Voices came at Yana Norangel like waves.

Yana Norangel subconsciously wanted to escape, but when she turned around, she realized that Thomas Bush had locked the door of the hall. She had nowhere to run!

While panicking, Thomas Bush’s voice came from behind.

“Apologizing and announcing the temporary withdrawal this time is your only choice now. Otherwise, you won’t be able to appease everyone’s anger.”

Yana Norangel was angry and indignant, but reality forced her to lower her head.

Under everyone’s scolding, she had no choice but to walk to the podium.

There was no pity in Zara Wentworth’s eyes. She stood aside indifferently, as if she did not want to have any contact with her.

Yana Norangel clenched her fists in anger.

Damn b*tch, she was once a no-one. She did not even have the right to speak in front of me. How dare she treat me with such an attitude today!

Yana Norangel was furious, but under Thomas Bush’s urging, she could only take a deep breath and take the microphone.

Similarly, she quickly organized her words in her heart.

“I’m Yana Norangel… I’m sorry, Zara Wentworth. I was muddle-headed and was instigated by my assistant to do something ridiculous. However, I know that my unintentional mistake has caused Zara Wentworth a lot of damage. Therefore, I’ve decided to temporarily withdraw from the industry and do more charity to offset my mistake. I hope Miss Wentworth can forgive me this time.”

As Yana Norangel spoke, she bowed deeply to Zara Wentworth as if she truly knew her mistake.

“Miss Wentworth, I’m sorry!”

When the reporters saw Yana Norangel’s sincere repentance, the disgust in their eyes dissipated a little.

Melody Fox noticed the change in everyone’s emotions and slowly narrowed her eyes.

Yana Norangel’s tactic of retreating in order to advance was indeed effective in the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, Zara Wentworth had her by her side.

She would not let Yana Norangel, this tumor, have a chance to stand up again.

The corners of Melody Fox’s lips curled up. Before Zara Wentworth could speak, she said, “Yana Norangel, Zaza is a kind person. I think she will definitely forgive you.

However, as her good friend, I have to remind you… Since you’re apologizing, please be more sincere and not say some evasive words.”

Yana Norangel met Melody Fox’s gaze and her heart was filled with hatred.

It was this damn ugly freak again!

Last time, it was because of her that she lost the chance to film that apocalyptic movie.

This time, it was also because of her that she had no choice but to announce that she was temporarily withdrawing from the industry!

Why didn’t she just die?!

Yana Norangel hated Melody Fox to the core, but in the face of so many cameras, she hid her true emotions very well and pretended to be pitiful.

“Miss Fox, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I’ve already apologized sincerely and sincerely regretted it. I don’t know why you’re still so aggressive… And I didn’t say anything evasive at all. I admit that I was wrong, but I won’t accept your unreasonable accusation.”

“Melody…” Zara Wentworth was worried that Melody Fox would be attacked by Yana Norangel’s fans. She quickly reminded her in a low voice, “Forget it. She has already announced her withdrawal from the industry. If you continue talking, it will only benefit her.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t.”

Melody Fox gave Zara Wentworth a reassuring look before meeting Yana Norangel’s gaze again.

“You said that you admit to your mistakes, but what did you mean when you said that it was an unintentional mistake? You were muddle-headed and were instigated by someone. Aren’t you blaming the assistant?”

“I’m just telling the truth.”

“The truth?”

Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and suddenly snapped her fingers.

“Miss Chen, someone has pushed all the blame onto you.

What are you waiting for? Come up.”

Yana Norangel was stunned.

Miss Chen was…?

The next second, she saw her assistant, Assistant Chen, striding towards the stage.

Her eyes widened instantly.

“How did you-“

Assistant Chen didn’t even look at Yana Norangel. She walked straight to the stage and took the microphone from Melody Fox. She said loudly, “Don’t be fooled by this woman! She threatened me to contact the marketing account Zara Wentworth. I have no grudge against Zara Wentworth. There’s no need for me to do that. If you don’t believe me, please listen to this…”

As Assistant Chen spoke, she turned on her phone and a recording resounded throughout the press conference.

[This is not enough to get her removed from the variety show. Contact a few marketing accounts and create more scandals about her. She is currently ranked Seventeenth on the trending searches. After that, I want to see her being defamed as the number one trending topic.]

The voice on the recording was Yana Norangel’s.

“Are you crazy?!” Yana Norangel did not expect her assistant to betray her.

Chapter 748

Assistant Chen’s hands were dirty, and she often stole things she didn’t often use to sell.

She had discovered this a long time ago.

However, it was precisely because of this that she did not chase CAssistant Chen away. Instead, she often used this to threaten her to do some dirty things for her.

She also firmly believed that with this evidence, even if everyone in the world betrayed her, Assistant Chen would not.

But now, Assistant Chen had betrayed her!

How dare she?

What Yana Norangel did not know was that Melody Fox had already asked James Deeds to investigate Yana Norangel after the production incident.

After knowing that Yana Norangel had such an assistant, she secretly remembered Assistant Chen in her heart.

Unexpectedly, it really came in handy today.

Stealing Yana Norangel’s items to sell such small evidence was extremely easy to resolve.

As long as she redeemed what she sold and secretly put it back, this weakness would no longer exist.

Assistant Chen wanted to escape from Yana Norangel’s control. As soon as she asked Aaron Berg to contact Assistant Chen, Assistant Chen immediately agreed to cooperate with them without thinking.

And now, all the things that Assistant Chen had stolen from Yana Norangel had been put back in place. Assistant Chen naturally said whatever she wanted to say. She was not afraid of offending Yana Norangel.

“I’m not crazy. You’re the one who’s crazy!”

Assistant Chen held the microphone tightly and raised her voice. “Everyone, you must see her true colors! Zara Wentworth isn’t the first artiste she’s slandered. Qiu Lin, who left the industry not long ago, was framed by her. Qiu Lin has never acted like a big shot. She’s the one who’s acting like a big shot!”

“Also, she supports the strong and tramples on the weak. She often bullies artists with lower status than her. She even asked Zara Wentworth to lick her shoes on the set! She has done this more than ten times!”

“I’ve long wanted to expose her true colors because working for such a vicious artiste will hurt my conscience! And today, I’ve finally waited for this opportunity!”

Yana Norangel was so angry that both she and Buddha were in trouble.

The person who she had always regarded as an ant actually dared to treat her like this!

She was so angry that she forgot that she was at the press conference. She took a few steps forward and grabbed Assistant Chen’s neck.

“Shut up! Bitch! Shut up! How dare you betray me! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sue you for theft?!”

Assistant Chen was almost out of breath from being pinched, but the expression on her face was smug.

With so many people present, it was impossible for Yana Norangel to strangle her to death!

She curled her lips and said with difficulty in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Steal? What theft? Do you mean your Hermes bag in color scheme? Go back and take a look yourself. It’s placed by your bed.”

Yana Norangel’s eyes widened.

She finally realized that someone was secretly helping Assistant Chen redeem those bags!

“Y-you…”

She was so angry that she wanted to exert more strength, but Assistant Chen had already gathered enough strength and pushed Yana Norangel away.

One of Yana Norangel’s shoes was already broken. After being pushed by Assistant Chen, he immediately leaned back and fell heavily to the ground.

Before she could cry out in alarm, she saw Assistant Chen shout at the top of her lungs, “Murder! Yana Norangel wants to strangle me to death!!”

The security guard at the scene came back to his senses. He quickly rushed forward and pressed Yana Norangel, who had just gotten up from the ground, to the ground again.

“Don’t move!”

“Don’t move, or we won’t be polite!”

The reporters also came back to their senses and rushed to the stage to take photos of Yana Norangel’s face.

As he patted, he questioned, “Yana Norangel, so your image has always been a disguise?”

“Do your parents know that you’re so vicious?”

“How can you face the fans who have always supported you? How can you face Zara Wentworth and Qiu Lin?”

“The Heavenly Axiom has its cycle of reincarnation. Aren’t you afraid that your actions will be exposed one day?”

Yana Norangel covered his face forcefully.

“Stop, stop… Help… Thomas, save me!”

Thomas Bush had already left the venue when Assistant Chen ran onto the stage and exposed her. He was afraid that he would be surrounded by reporters and questioned about those things. He had long known that he was the one who maliciously protected Yana Norangel.

The live camera of the press conference was also aimed at the disheveled Yana Norangel.

The fans who had not apologized sincerely to Yana Norangel just now were even angrier than Zara Wentworth and for Qiu Lin’s sake. One by one, they turned from fans to haters and scolded them even worse than the fans of the Wen and Qiu families.

“Yana Norangel caused Qiu Lin to leave the industry”, “Yana Norangel’s embarrassment turned into anger and pinched her assistant”, “Yana Norangel’s true appearance”, “sympathize with Zara Wentworth, and so on quickly became trending topics, almost occupying half of the trending topics.

The number of fans of Zara Wentworth was also increasing rapidly.

Those fans who originally belonged to Yana Norange climbed up the wall and became Zara Wentworth fans.

On the way back, Zara Wentworth was still in a daze.

It was not until the car stopped at the entrance of the apartment that Zara Wentworth suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Melody with admiration.

“Melody, you’re really amazing… I thought I was afraid that Yana Norangel would set a word trap for you and bite you back so I pretended to be pitiful.”

Melody Fox raised his eyebrows slightly.

“If she wants to bite me back, she has to have the ability.”

She paused for a moment. Afraid that Zara Wentworth would sympathize with Yana Norangel again, she said, “You can’t be soft-hearted when dealing with people like Yana Norangel. Once you are soft-hearted, she will wait for an opportunity to turn into a venomous snake and bite you hard. Therefore, it’s better to go all out and let her temporarily retire from the industry forever. She will become a cancer that everyone in the entertainment industry hates.”

Zara Wentworth nodded vigorously and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t be as saintly as before. Not everyone is worth giving her a second chance. I’m just too trusting, but I definitely won’t be stupid again in the future.”

Melody Fox nodded in relief.

“Alright, you’re tired today. Go back and rest early. I should go home too.”

“Okay, then I’ll get out of the car first. Also, help me thank the Herbathrive. I’ll treat all of you to a meal when I rest one day.”

“Alright, I’ll tell them.”

“Bye!” Zara Wentworth hugged Melody Fox gratefully. She bowed and got out of the car. Her figure quickly disappeared into the night.

Melody waited until the lights in the apartment came on before instructing Spencer to drive.

Spencer released the handbrake and asked, “Miss Fox, are we going back to the manor or…?”

“Let’s go back to the manor. By the way, did Ken Swanson go back?”

“I’m not sure. Shall I call Mr. Deeds?”

“There’s no need. Let’s go back first.”

“Yes!”

Spencer stepped on the accelerator and the car sped towards the manor.

However, Melody Fox waited until she fell asleep. Ken Swanson did not come home.

When she opened her eyes again, the pillow was still empty.

She was completely certain that Ken Swanson was avoiding her.

However, she still could not understand why Ken Swanson wanted to stop Dorrene Downey from getting a divorce.

色

Chapter 749

In her impression, Dorrene Downey had no interaction with Ken Swanson at all. There is no need for him to do this.

No matter how hard she thought, she could not find an answer. After washing up, Melody Fox took out her phone and quickly dialed Ken Swanson’s number.

As expected, the call was rejected.

Melody Fox was furious and called James Deeds instead.

James Deeds did pick up, but his tone was hurried. “Miss Fox, what’s the matter? I’m busy here. If there’s nothing important, can you contact me later?”

“Then, then you can go ahead…”

Helpless, Melody Fox could only hang up.

However, after making this call, she was no longer in a hurry.

Silverlake was only so big. If Ken Swanson continued to hide from her, how long could he hide from her?

Could he not return to the manor for the rest of his life?

Coincidentally, it was Sunday today, and pasta still had to be given away for a day, so Melody Fox didn’t go to Herbathrive for the time being. She quickly changed her clothes and went downstairs.

When she went downstairs, Astrid Swanson had just finished her breakfast.

The moment their eyes met, Astrid Swanson’s eyes seemed to be on fire. She wanted to burn her to death.

…..

However, Melody Fox did not seem to notice Astrid Swanson’s emotions. She put on a smile and greeted her.

“Auntie Li, good morning. Why are you up so early?”

Astrid Swanson gritted her teeth and said, “Stop pretending!”

Melody Fox’s smile deepened.

“You’ve misunderstood me. I’m sincerely greeting you. By the way, I wonder if Mr. Hunter’s funeral is arranged? Isn’t it not good to be too close to Cadence Hunter’s funeral?”

“You-“

Melody Fox did not give Astrid Swanson a chance to show off. She directly interrupted her and said, “Forget it, I don’t know much about this either. Let’s ask a professional priest to calculate the date. I still have something on, so I won’t be eating breakfast. I’ll leave first. Bye!”

She said what she wanted to say in one breath and walked out. Her figure quickly disappeared at the entrance of the villa.

Astrid Swanson was so angry that smoke almost came out of her head.

“Guards! Guards!”

The servant shrunk their neck and walked forward. She asked timidly, “Madam, what can I do for you?”

“Is Ulric Swanson awake?! I have something to tell him!”

“Second Young Master went out early in the morning to treat his leg.”

Astrid Swanson had nowhere to vent her anger, so she could only vent it all on the servants.

“What do you mean by looking at me like that? Are you looking down on me too?”

“N-no, you’ve misunderstood…” The servant trembled in fear.

In all honesty, she did not even dare to look at Astrid Swanson in the eye.

Astrid Swanson was about to make a fuss when she happened to see Margaret Swanson come downstairs.

“Astrid Swanson, I’m not dead yet. Why are you wailing here so early in the morning?”

Astrid Swanson’s back stiffened as she lowered her head indignantly.

“Mom…”

Margaret snorted. “Go back to your room and reflect on yourself. I don’t want to see your face so early in the morning!”

If not for the fact that she was afraid of exposing her dirty laundry, she would have asked Ramon Swanson to divorce Astrid Swanson long ago.

Astrid Swanson was angry but did not dare to say anything. She gritted her teeth and went upstairs.

As soon as she returned to her room, she couldn’t wait to call Ulric Swanson.

However, Ulric Swanson did not answer her call. When she called again for the second time, Ulric Swanson blocked her number.

Astrid Swanson was so angry that her face turned green. However, she only had one precious son and could not bear to scold him. She could only sit in the room and think hard about how to take revenge.

Soon, a plan appeared in her mind.

She slowly curled her lips and called over one of her few trusted aides in the manor.

“Go out and buy something for me.”

As Astrid Swanson spoke, she handed a card to her trusted aide.

The confidant looked down and the veins on her forehead jumped.

“Black market?”

“That’s right.” Astrid Swanson nodded and said in a low voice, “Go buy it for me…”

Meanwhile…

Herbathrive was busier today than yesterday.

Melody Fox thought that she had arrived early that day, but she did not expect to see a dense crowd queuing up the moment he got out of the car.

At a glance, the line was endless. From the looks of it, the queue was almost from the street to the end of the alley.

It seemed that pasta’s popularity had completely exceeded her expectations. This was a good thing, but not entirely a good thing.

Melody Fox frowned slightly. He quickly entered Herbathrive and found David Marrow.

“Send a few people to make a hundred number tags and distribute them to the top hundred in the queue. Those who haven’t received their cards, let them come back next week. Don’t let others queue for so long for nothing.”

David Marrow said helplessly, “Miss Fox, we can’t do anything about it. We’ve already informed the people behind us, but they refused to leave. They said that they can even drink some soup when it’s their turn.”

$

“Well…”

Melody Fox had no choice but to line up with them.

The 100 copies of pasta were quickly distributed.

However, just as David Marrow said, those who did not get their turn really started to ask for the soup.

Melody Fox had no choice but to let Herbathrive close the door. Only then did the queue slowly dissipate.

“Miss Fox, we can’t continue like this. Our manpower is limited. It’s already very difficult to make a hundred sets…”

“I know.” Melody Fox nodded and said, “It won’t be like this next week. I’ll resolve it as soon as possible.”

It seemed that she had to go to the Swanson Group to look for Ken Swanson.

After the Zara Wentworth incident, the publicity effect of pasta greatly exceeded her expectations, and production began immediately.

Fortunately, Ken Swanson had already arranged for the factory to be processed. There was only a week, which was enough to produce the first batch of products.

However, production was not the only step. She still needed to undergo safety checks, obtain a permit, register a trademark, and many other things. She had to discuss these details with Ken Swanson as soon as possible in order to rush to the production before the next weekend.

“I’m going out for a while. Take care of the clinic.”

“Yes, Miss Fox!”

Coincidentally, Dorrene, who had come to help pack pasta, was also planning to go back. Melody Fox took the opportunity to let her hitch a ride back home.

On the way, Dorrene Downey couldn’t help but ask about the lawyer.

“Miss Fox, have you found a divorce lawyer?”

As she spoke, she was afraid that Melody Fox would misunderstand, so she quickly added, “I’m not rushing you. I just want to ask about your progress…”

Melody Fox pretended to be relaxed and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll remember this. I’ve already looked for the LTTE. The matter has been resolved, but I still need some time. Besides, I’ve been a little busy these past few days…”

Dorrene Downey quickly said, “It’s fine. I can wait! I’ve survived for so many years. It doesn’t matter if it’s just a few days.”

Melody Fox nodded. Her mood instantly became heavy.

After discussing pasta’s matter, she had to ask Ken Swanson why he stopped Dorrene Downey from getting a divorce.

Soon, they arrived at the apartment Dorrene Downey was staying in.

“Then I’ll go back first. Cindy is still waiting for me at home. If you need me for anything, call me.”

Melody Fox nodded and watched Dorrene Downey leave.

However, not long after the car drove out, Melody Fox noticed that Dorrene Downey’s phone was left in the car.

Helpless, she could only make Spencer turn around.

At the same time, Dorrene Downey had already arrived at their doorstep.

What shocked her was that the door was half open, and many voices could be heard from inside.

Her heart was in her throat.

Chapter 750

A huge fear quickly enveloped Dorrene Downey.

She did not dare to go in to check on the situation and subconsciously wanted to take out her phone to call the police.

However, even after searching her pockets, she still could not find her phone. It was only when she realized that she had left her phone in the car of Melody Fox.

Just as Dorrene Downey was about to turn around and ask for help, a large hand suddenly grabbed the back of her collar.

Dorrene Downey was caught off guard and lost her balance. She fell backward.

Just as Dorrene Downey thought that she was going to fall to the ground, the person grabbed her and forcefully dragged her into the room.

“Granny Wong, look who I caught.”

The next second, the village old lady called Granny Wang appeared in front of Dorrene Downey.

When she saw the face of the person in front of her, Dorrene Downey’s eyes suddenly widened.

“It’s you? How could it be you?!”

For a moment, Dorrene Downey even began to doubt her eyes because the old lady in front of him was none other than her vicious mother-in-law, Robert Downey’s biological mother.

She had never expected her mother-in-law to appear here.

Dorrene Downey looked around and realized that there were at least seven or eight people in the room. All of them were villagers.

Her daughter, Cindy, was being pulled by her next-door neighbor, Aunt Chen, and could not move.

The moment Cindy saw Dorrene Downey, she immediately shouted, “Mom, save me!!”

Cindy!

Dorrene Downey’s heart ached to the bone. She took a step forward and was about to run towards Cindy.

However, she had only taken two steps when she was pressed to the ground by the middle-aged man who had just dragged her in.

“Don’t move if you don’t want to suffer,” the man warned.

Dorrene Downey bit her lower lip in humiliation.

She was not afraid of death or suffering, but Cindy was in their hands. She had no choice but to obediently lie on the ground and not move.

Seeing this, Granny Wang smiled smugly.

She walked to Dorrene Downey in a few steps and squatted down. Then, she grabbed her hair and forced Dorrene Downey to look at her.

“Little b*tch, your husband is at the police station. How can you live in such a comfortable big house with your little b*tch? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Dorrene Downey gritted his teeth and said coldly, “He’s not my husband anymore. I’m going to divorce him soon.”

“Divorce? Don’t even think about it!”

Granny Wang stood up and looked around the house greedily.

Moreover, she had just asked her friend from the same village who worked in Silverlake. This house was worth at least millions of dollars.

millions of dollars!!

She had never seen so much money in her life.

The thought of her son pitifully in jail while this b*tch could live in such a comfortable house made her so angry that she wanted to strangle Dorrene Downey.

Dorrene Downey knelt on the ground and grabbed Granny Wang’s pants with one hand. He cried and said, “Mom, I beg you to let me and Cindy go. Robert Downey will be out soon!”

“Hmph!”

Granny Wang snorted coldly. “If you marry into my Wang family, you’ll be a member of my Wang family in life and a ghost of my Wang family in death. Don’t even think about getting rid of us in this lifetime!”

“I’m begging you, I’m begging you.”

Dorrene Downey kept kowtowing on the ground until he bled.

However, there was no pity in Granny Wang’s eyes. She said coldly, “Put it away. This move is useless against me! However, if you want me to forgive you, you can…”

Dorrene Downey’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“What will it take for you to forgive us?”

The corners of Granny Wang’s mouth curled up greedily. She said with a half-smile, “As long as you write my and Robert Downey’s names on this house and give us an additional 4,532,660,000 yuan, I will agree to your divorce. Otherwise, don’t even think about it!”

“4,532,660,000?! Where did I get so much money?”

Granny Wang narrowed her eyes coldly and said, “Stop pretending. You can afford such a good house, but can’t you fork out 4,532,660,000 yuan? If you really can’t, then borrow it from your friend!”

“I really didn’t!” Dorrene Downey cried.

The man who had dragged Dorrene Downey in whispered to Grandma Wang, “Granny Wang, it’s useless for you to do this. Let me do it!”

Granny Wang nodded and said, “Alright, but don’t kill her.”

“Alright, Grandma Wang.”

This man was a butcher in the village. When he was young he had once been a mountain bandit. He had some martial arts on him and was terrifyingly strong.

Dorrene Downey watched as the butcher approached her step by step and crawled back in fear.

The butcher stared at Dorrene Downey like a venomous snake.

“Speak! Can you take out 4,532,660,000 yuan? If you can’t… don’t blame me for being rude!”

Dorrene Downey shook her head with red eyes. “I really didn’t. It’s not that I don’t want to take it. You can’t treat me like this…”

“Looks like your mouth is really hard. You won’t let go until you suffer a little!”

The butcher gritted his teeth and raised his right hand to slap Dorrene Downey’s face.

With a crisp slap, Dorrene Downey fell to the ground.

Cindy screamed in fear.

“Mommy! Mommy! Don’t hit my mommy, please!”

“Little b*tch, shut up!” The neighbor, Aunt Chen, glared at Cindy.

However, Cindy did not listen to her at all. She tried her best to run towards Dorrene Downey.

But how could a child’s strength compare to an adult’s?

Aunt Chen pulled her back and pinched her face hard.

“Shut up! Shut up!”

“Cindy!” Dorrene Downey ignored her injuries and struggled to run towards Cindy.

However, just as she moved, the butcher picked her up from the ground.

“

“Stop pretending to be mother and daughter here. Answer me truthfully. Do you want to give us the house and 4,532,660,000 yuan?”

Dorrene Downey cried and gritted his teeth. “I can sell the house and give you all the money. Please don’t do anything to Cindy…”

“Pfft!” Granny Wang said indignantly. “I don’t want the money for this house. I want the house and the money! If you continue to be stubborn, do you believe that I’ll slap that little b*tch to death?”

“No-no!! Whatever you say, I’ll give you anything. Don’t touch Cindy! Mom, Cindy is also your granddaughter. Don’t touch her!”

“Hehe? Granddaughter? What’s the use of giving birth to a daughter!

If it’s a grandson, I don’t need you to tell me to dote on him.”

Granny Wang’s preference for boys was extremely serious. Therefore, in the past, whenever Cindy was beaten up by Robert Downey, she would either make sarcastic remarks or turn a blind eye to it. She did not feel guilty or heartache at all.

“What’s your bank card password? Speak!”

The butcher stepped on Dorrene Downey’s thigh and questioned coldly.

That’s right! Where did you hide your bank card? There’s also cash. We want cash too!”

Greed was written all over everyone’s faces. The room was like hell on earth.
