Melody’s face turned cold as she said, “Whether I am a fraud or not is not for you to decide. Now, please step aside. I need to see Margaret“, “Huh!” Liam was both surprised and amused, “At this critical moment, instead of fleeing, you dare to come back. You’ve truly deceived yourself with your own lies! I advise you to leave immediately, or you’ll be in for a hard time when Mr. Swanson comes out” “Dr. Scott, why are you still talking to her? She’s a murderer. Just tie her up!” These words were just heard by Ken who had just entered the door He said nothing and just stood in front of Melody. At this moment, silence was more powerful than words. Standing in front of her was enough to show his stance The doctors looked at each other in confusion “What’s going on? Why is Mr. Ken still protecting this female fraud? they wondered. Liam had a poor impression of Hen to begin with, and now he was even more convinced that Ken was no good. He couldn’t help but speak up. “Mr. Ken, don’t you know? This woman is a fraud! You defending her like this will harm Margaret!” “That’s right…” Others chimed in Ken spoke indifferently, was the one who agreed to let Melody treat Grandma, if you say she’s a fraud, does that make me one me one too?” As he spoke, his powerful aura was fully displayed, silencing the doctors who were echoing the accusations Liam gritted his teeth and boldly said, “You’re so protective of this female fraud, Mr. Ramon will be furious when he finds out. He was just in a great rage a few minutes ago!” “Shut up!” Ken said in a deep ep voice. “I’m going to let Melody in to treat Grandma. Please don’t waste our time, otherwise… Just then… “What’s all the noise about?” Speaking of the devil, Ramon came out of the bedroom with a frown Liam had been a bit apprehensive about Ken because of the strong and unfriendly aura the exuded, but now seeing Ramon, Liam felt as if he had found his backbone and immediately started to tattle. “Mr. Ramon, it’s Mr. Ken who brought Miss Fox here. We pointed out that Miss Fox is a fraud, but he not only didn’t believe us, but he also Insisted on bringing the fraud inside Liam spoke, feeling smug inside. 14 111 Chapter 70 By stopping Ren and Melody, he had surely done something commendable, hadn’t he?

Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker
I’m Melody Fox, once deemed an ugly duckling.
In my past life, I was cruelly betrayed, my heart brutally ripped from my chest by my once-beloved and my stepsister.
Reborn, I inadvertently rescued Ken Swanson, the wealthiest man in Halcyon, and found myself tangled in his intricate world. I was manipulated into remarrying, becoming a pawn in his elaborate plot. I feared the past would replay itself, yet he assured me that with him by my side, I would never suffer again.
On our wedding day, I cast aside my disguise, astounding everyone with my breathtaking beauty and exceptional medical prowess.
This time, I am not just surviving; I am seeking vengeance. I will reveal my true strength to those who once scorned me!

Saving Margaret was the most important Upon thinking of this, Ken’s eyes once again fell into a cold gaze, expressionlessly looking out the window. Neither of them spoke for the rest of the journey.

Chapter 68 Although an apology wouldn’t help, if there was However, Melody raised her head and said. “I’m not amends, it was best to try won’t kneel and and apologize Russell never expected that at this point, Melody would still stubbornly refuse to admit her mistake. This was not only harming herself but also the entire Fox family. Even the octogenarian Maria would suffer. At this moment, he could no longer care that Melody was the only bloodline left by his deceased wife and swung his hand fiercely toward Melody’s face Melody had her er own plans, so she was not prepared to dodge this slap and simply closed her eyes. Just as she thought she might have a tooth knocked out by Russell, the expected pain did not come, and the slap did not land on her face. ‘Could it be that Russell still cares and trusts me a bit? Melody hesitantly opened her eyes and saw a wel Russell’s. and saw a well–defined hand tightly gripping Following that hand, she looked up in astonishment and saw a handsome man with dark eyes looking at her. It was none other than Ken. But how could Ken be here? He cared so much about Margaret, and now seeing Margaret coughing up blood, shouldn’t he want to tear Melody into a thousand pieces? Russell was also taken aback when Ken stopped him and asked Ken’s intentions with suspicion, “Mr. Swanson?” Ken expressionlessly shook off Russell’s hand and said, “Sorry, I can’t interfere with your discipline of your daughter, but now I have to take her to treat my grandmother first.” “Treat?” Russell was even more astonished, his mouth slightly agape. Ken didn’t bother with Russell and directly turned to call Melody. “Let’s go. Hurry up!” Melody took half a second to recover from her surprise. “Okay!” She responded and was about to follow Ken out. “Wait a minute!” Astrid didn’t expect that Ken would actually disregard Margaret’s life and death for Melody and immediately stepped orward to block the two, reminding Ken with displeasure. “Ken, your grandmother was perfectly healthy, and now she’s coughing up blood because of this country girl. Are you still going to let her continue treating your grandmother? Have you lost your mind? You should use this time to persuade your grandmother to agree to go to the 10spital, otherwise, it might be too late!” Astrid wasn’t really worried about Margaret. She was afraid that Ken would protect Melody. ten was extremely cunning, and if not handled carefully, he might really be able to clear Melody’s name. ill her efforts would be in vain then. en looked at Astrid with a half–smile and said, “I came to pick her up for my grandmother’s sake, so please step aside.

This trust had nothing to do with anything else, only because Melody disregarded her own life to pick the Kintame on the cliff.

Chapter 67 Russell wasn’t intentionally trying to marginalize Melody. He genuinely believed she lacked the ability and capital to work at the Jintalion Greup, bearing it would tanish the brand. However, Russell had forgotten that the Justalion Group was est ody’s mother, Wilona. Wilona had once been a global sensation, marrying the fashion il ussell during het prime. vie star, they jointly Later, with the substantial financial backing of the Brewer family and the fortune Wilona had amassed as a former movie founded the Justalion Group Subsequently, Wilona revealed an astonishing talent in fashion design, outshining Russell, the professional designer, In no time, the Justation Group became renowned throughout the Land and went overseas- It wasn’t until Wilona’s passing that the Justation Group began to decline. Yet, to this day, it remained a significant brand, albeit not as influential as before without Wilona’s designs and fame. By all accounts, it was only natural for Melody to join the Justalion Group, and even more so, compared to Russell himself, Melody was the true owner of the company. It was worth mentioning that at the time, Yolanda was merely a minor employee of the Justation Group Melody clearly saw Mabel’s disdain and the subtle complacency in Yolanda’s eyes She responded impassively, “Understood, Dad. I’ve finished eating. I’ll go see Grandma and have her come to eat. You all carry on?” The meal was nauseating, and as Melody was about to put down her utensils and return to her room, she heard a sharp shout from outside. “Melody! Come out here!” Melody was taken aback, completely unaware of what had happened. “What’s going on?” Russell stood up with a gloomy expression. Yolanda added fuel to the fire by deliberately asking, “Melody, you’ve been going out every day recently. Have you provoked anyone?” Upon hearing this, Russell’s face grew even darker The butler rushed in hastily. “Mr. Fox, Mrs. Fox, outside…! Before he could finish, Astrid stormed in with a group of people. The Fox family had no bodyguards. Only two servants tried to stop them. Seeing they couldn’t hold them back, they bowed to Russell and said, “Mr. Fox, we apologize. We couldn’t stop them…” Russell never expected the intruder to be Astrid. He immediately reprimanded the servants. “Stop what? This is a distinguished guest He scolded them and then ingratiatingly approached, saying, “Mrs. Astrid, what brings you here? Is there something wrong) “Something wrong?” Astrid sneered and said. “Your daughter’s doing It turned d out that Melody h had indeed caused trouble outside. if it had been someone else Melody had upset, he could have just thrown some money at the problem and made it go away, but with Astrid, a maar agtatant farverigen, ant regardless if it’s presence, the stepped forward and grated Melody by the collar dbsomet nut whole far Busts narrowed her eyes colly and easily caught Mabel’s st to take Melody away.

And promise that you will never take her things again.” Yolanda felt countless humiliations in her heart Apologizing to this ugly girl was more uncomfortable for her than a slap tuin Russell planda?” Russell urged with a frown Yolanda bit her lip and said shamefully, I’m sorry, I will never touch your things again.” She almost squeezed out this sentence from her teeth. Maria frowned when she heard it, but Russell thought it was enough There was a difference between the old and the young Anelder who bowed down to apologize to a younger generation, no matter whether it was true or not, it was over here.. “Well, let’s just drop this matter. The other day, I will go to Owen again. If it goes as you say, there should still be room for this matter. The other day, you two will take gifts with me to the Nathan family.” Melody lowered her eyes and obediently responded, “Yes” volanda also responded, and then said that she was not feeling well and went upstairs. The contract issue was heavily dropped and lightly ended. Melody returned to the room but couldn’t calm down. This war without smoke seemed to have won, but in fact, it was lost. This was a great blow to her, and for several days, she couldn’t cheer up no matter what she did. Even when she went to the Swanson family to match the medicine for Margaret, she was listless. The fourth day, Melody was having dinner in the living room. Owen’s contract was finally successfully reached at the price of Russell giving up 10% of the profits But even if they gave up 10% of the profit, the Justation Group could still make a lot of money. Russell was in a rare good mood today, and he asked the butler to open a bottle of red wine to drink with Yolanda. by became an outsider. The couple clinked glasses, and Mabel smiled and congratulated them. The family of three was happy, and Melody Russell looked at Mabel with a smile in his eyes and said, “The success of this cooperation is due to Mabel Yolanda pretended to be confused. “Mabel? What can Mabel do to help you?” Russell said, “Mabel and Owen’s eldest daughter were classmates before. She asked her to plead with Owen. When signing the contract, the young lady was also there and asked Mabel to teach her coffee making more when she was free.” Mabel was originally quite happy, but upon hearing the word coffee–making, the salad in her mouth suddenly became tasteless. At Margaret’s birthday party, the Nathan family happened to be back in their hometown, so they were unaware that Melody had outperformed herself in coffee–making. “What’s the mater getting older and the drcendt an bec’s eves it u diculous.

Just then, a hoarse yet ster voice rang out. “Who dares to drive her away without my permission?” Everyone subconsciously turned their heads toward the side door and found it was actually Maria: Maria’s health hadn’t fully recovered today, and at the moment, she was walking unsteadily, relying on a cane and the support of a servant to move forward was surprised and quickly went forward to help Maria sit down. “Mom, why did you get up when you’re not weith Maria snorted coldly and said, “It didn’t come out, some people would confuse right and wrong and drive away my precious granddaughter” Yolanda’s face changed, and she forced a laugh. “Mom, how can you say that Maria gave Yolanda a cold glance, then ignored her and spoke indiferently. “Russell, you are a smart person, but how have you become someone who only listens to your wife and doesn’t even believe your own daughter” Russell looked embarrassed. “Mom, I’m not such a person.

Chapter 64 Yolanda appeared calms on the surface, but inside, horm wewe like a stormy sea. At that moment, fussell’s face was dark as ink, and with each breath, it seemed as if he were bathing fine. His eyes were icy cold, yet fi yet filled Volanda quickly guessed that Russell probably found out about what happened at the party today. But she wasn’t particularly worried. It was just a loss of reputation. With so much gossip in Silverlake, people would soon forget today’s incident. All the needed to do was lay low for a few days and avoid going out Even if Russell was angry, she could calm him down soon. If Melody thought she could use that incident to see her and Russell have a big fight, she was mistaken. Tolanda wouldn’t let that happen! Thinking this, Yolanda put on a flattering smile and greeted Russell “Pussell.” Her voice was so sweet it could make one’s whole body go soft. Melody looked at Volanda, a cold glint flashing through her eyes So, it was with this ability that Volanda made Russell cheat during her mother’s pregnancy and married into the Fox family shortly after her mother’s death, ⠀⠀ “Huh, men are so shamelessť she wondered. “Russell, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?” Pretending not to know, Yolanda reached out to take off Russell’s coat. However, before her hand touched Russell’s clothes, he quickly avoided it, then raised his hand and slapped her fiercely. “Wh” Yolanda cried out in pain, her eyes tearing up from the pain “Russell? You hit me?” Yolanda covered her swollen face, looking at Mussell in disbelief. Seeing this, Melody was not surprised at all, but instead secretly curled her lips, clapping in her heart. Well d donel Russell finally did something that satisfied me This commotion startled Mabel upstairs. Hearing the noise, Mabel quickly ran downstairs and just saw Yolanda crying with her face covered. “Dad! Why did you hit Mom?” Mabel quickly ran to Yolanda. “Get out of my way!” Russell looked at Mabel with towering anger Mabel shrank back, subconsciously wanting to dodge. But seeing Melody looking at them out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly got the courage, not only not to step aside, but also to spread her arms to protect Yolanda. “Dad! Did Melody say something? Don’t listen to her. She’s a devil, here to tear our family apart!” “Shut up!” Russell yanked Mabel aside. Mabel stumbled and fell to the ground, but Russell didn’t even glance at her. ||| O Bhaiter of He took two steps forward, his eyes boring into Yolanda as he said, “Tell me.

She only heard Walmat continue, was indeed you’ve confessed to using me, it makes ine earn me, but you’ve done me a favor, so thad to help you. But now helped the right person. Miss Fox, you’m a good person.” Good person Melody gave a bitter smile and said, “I’ve been too much of a good person before, which pushed me into hell: I don’t want to be a good person now, yet you still say I am! Wilmot shook his head. “The world of adults isn’t just black and white. There’s also a place called the gray area. But I’m very sure no Fox, that you are a good person. Lew people have the courage to confess what they’ve done like you do. I know that you must have had. tough time in the Fox family and needed to use me. If you need my help in the future, just say the word, and I’ll be there “Thank you!” Melody expressed her gratitude sincerely. At that moment, Wilmot’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller 10, and his expression changed immediately as he quickly answered the call. “Doctor, did something happen to my son?” The other end of the phone said something, and Witmat’s expression quickly softened as he spoke pently. “Got it. I will bring you cake, and ‘1 be there soon. Wilmot was in his thirties but, because he worked in the styling industry, he looked only in his twenties When speaking with his son, his expression was particularly soft Melody couldn’t help but be lost in thought if only she had fallen in love with like Wilmot in her Wilmot in her previous life instead of Ulnic, she wouldn’t have ended up with her heart dug out and died tragically, After a few words, Wilmot hung up the phone. Melody emerged from her painful memories and spoke up at the right moment. “I’ve said what I needed to say. You should go to the hospital He must miss you a lot when he’s alone there.““” “Okey.” Wilmot stood up and said, “Then I’ll take my leave first. As I said, if you need any help, just contact me “Sure, thank your Melody nodded. After exchanging WhatsApp contact information, Wilmot left the coffee shop first, walking hurriedly. It was evident that he was a good father. Melody deliberately explained to Wilmot, partly because her conscience wouldn’t let her do otherwise, and partly because Wilmot was very useful to her. She was in urgent need of building connections. Melody wasn’t in a hurry to leave, and she ordered another cup of juice from the waiter, sipping her juice and looking out the window. Her seat had a perfect view of the community’s main entrance through the window, making it an ideal spot for waiting for someone During her wait, Melody ly went to the restroom and overheard two waitstaff gossiping about her and Wilmot “Did you see that handsome guy with the unattractive woman just now? That couple… tsk, the combination is quite surreal,” one said 1/3 ။ 10 saw them it’s like a real–life Beauty and the Beast, only reversed,” the other replied. “Ther e woman must be wealthy, otherwise, how could such a handsome man be interested Melody didn’t expect to hear someone ridiculing her as she went to the restroom The two waitstaff continued their conversation. “That man is really handsome!

There were still guests waiting outside for their cars, and going out to confront Melody now would only exacerbate the already bad situation. “No rush,” Yolanda took a deep breath and said, “Home is here. We’re not afraid she won’t come back. She might escape for a while, but she could not escape forever!” Mabel gritted her teeth, but she had to endure for the time being On the other side, Melody ran out quickly, catching up with Wilmot who was about to leave by car, “Mr. Sherman, wait a moment. Do you have time? Is it convenient to talk with me? Wilmot nodded without hesitation. “Thave time!” Melody was his great benefactor, and even if he was overwhelmed with work, he would say he had time. “Then let’s go to the coffee shop outside the community. I have something I want to confess to you!” Hearing this Wilmot was slightly taken aback, but he didn’t ask more, turned to the lady waiting for him, and said, “Sorry, ma’am, I have something to do, I won’t trouble you to take me back.” “Okay, no problem, call me anytime if you need anything!” The lady was delighted that Wilmot said sorry to her, immediately waved her hand happily, and got in the car. The two walked to the coffee shop outside the community The coffee shop wasn’t large, but it had decent privacy, and Melody requested a private room. Melody glanced at the menu and looked up to ask Wilmot. “Mr. Sherman, what would you like to drink?” Lave some water! “I’ll just have “Wright” She nodded and handed the menu to the waiter. “Please, an espresso Americano and a glass of plain water.” t a moment, the waiter said, taking g the menu and leaving “Sure, just a Melody turned to look at Wilmot, only to find him staring at her with a surprised expression. “What’s wrong?

Chapter 61 Yolanda had a lingering sense of unease in her heart, and it only intensified as she looked into Melody Fox’s eyes at that moment. Yolanda thought. “No! Tcan’t let Melody main the gathering like this!” With that thought in mind. Volanda put on a facade of false concem and spoke, “Melody, you’ve been out all day. How did you manage to get yourself so dirty? Go change your clothes and come back.“” As she spoke, she glanced at the butter, hinting for him to escort Melody out forcibly. The butler understood immediately and started to lead Melody away. But just then, Wilmot Sherman stepped forward, blocking the butler’s path, his expression cold as he spoke, “Wait!” The butler tried to smile apologetically “Sir, Miss Yolanda needs to change her clothes first. Whatever it is can wait until she’s done. We have many guests today, and her appearance like this would not be appropriate, especially if rumors were to spread… Wilmot, however, was not buying it. He looked at Yolanda coldly and said, “Before Miss Melody changes her clothes, there’s something I want to address The guests immediately sensed gossip in the air, falling silent and focusing their attention on Melody’s side of the room. rolanda felt a growing sense of dread, but before she could intervene, Wilmot spoke again, his tone icy “happened to run into Miss Melody today and learned that the storefront I gave her as a token of gratitude was taken away by you?” His words caused a stir in the previously quiet living room, now filled with murmurs and whispers. “Gratitude? The girl from the countryside actually owes something to the renowned stylist, Wilmot? Have we underestimated Miss Melody?” “Taking away her stepdaughter’s storefront, Yolanda’s actions are truly unbelievable.” “Yolanda is really disgraceful. To do such a thing and be exposed publicly, I feel embarrassed for her!” “The Fox family seems to have fallen on hard times. I shouldn’t have come to this gathering, it’s truly shamefull” Though the guests‘ discussions were hushed, some of them still reached Yolanda and Mabel’s ears. Mabel couldn’t bear the mockery and felt her eyes welling up with tears. A shadow of sendusness fell over Yolanda’s visap She shot a frigid look towards Melody before composing herself to address Sherman with a facade of composure “Mr. Sherman,” she began, her voice steady despite the turmoil within, “It appears there’s been a misunderstanding While it’s accurate that currently possess the contract, my intention was simply to assist Melody in navigating the complexities of shop management upon her return from the countryside. I dected it prudent for her to entrust the operations to me temporarily. Once she acquaints herself with the intricacies of running a business, rest assured, the storefront shall be returned to her ownership.” “Oh, so it wasn’t s stealing, it was deceiving.
