Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Chapter 135 

“Of course! Don’t you believe in my medical skills?” As Melody hailed a taxi, she held her phone and said, “However, I definitely won’t let his leg be cured” 

Ken asked, “Why? If you treat Ulric’s legs, you can immediately get a huge sum of money to treat your face.” 

Melody said, “You can think of it as me having a dark heart. I just don’t want to see someone I don’t like living well.” 

Ken was silent for another two seconds before continuing, “Don’t reveal your true identity, or it will be troublesome.” 

“Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid.” The call ended there. Melody said to the driver, “Sir, go to South Alley.” 

The driver said, “Alright!” 

At the same time, at the Swanson Group. 

James Deed had heard their conversation. He could not help but say worriedly, “Mr. Ken, do you really believe Miss Melody? What if she changes her mind and treats Mr. Uric for money?” 

“She won’t Ken’s expression was firm. 

James asked in surprise, “Why are you so sure?? 

Ken did not answer immediately. After a long time, he said. “Intuition” 

James was on the verge of vomiting blood. “Do you believe her just based on your intuition? If she really changes her mind and treats Mr. Uric’s leg, it will only create an even greater obstacle for you to take back the Pearly Antiques.” 

Ken glanced sideways at James. Then what do you think we should do now?” 

James hesitated for a second and said boldly, “In my opinion… we should get rid of Miss Fox directly to prevent future. trouble. If Miss Fox can really treat Mr. Uric’s leg, as long as she still exists, his leg will still have a chance to recover.” 

After saying that, James realized that Ken’s gaze seemed to be getting colder and colder. 

He was shocked and quickly lowered his head. T’m sorry. Mr. Ken. I went overboard…” 

Ken stood up and approached James step by step. 

He only stopped when he was a couple of feet away from James. How many years have you been with me?” 

Cold sweat broke out on James’s forehead. He knew that Ken did not like people to go against his wishes and take matters into his own hands. 

Hearing Ken’s question, he stammered, “Nine, nine years…” 

Ken asked, “Nine years. I thought you’d know me well enough after more than nine years Have I ever been wrong in my judgment of people?” 

“No!” James felt that something was wrong and immediately knelt down in front of Ken. “Mr. Ken, it’s all my fault. I was being a smartass. Please punish me!” 

Ken stared at James and did not say anything. He was silent until James could not hold it in anymore. Then, he said, “You’ve been acting abnormally recently. You seem to be… very hostile to Melody. Tell me the reason.” 

He was not a tyrant. He would not punish his subordinates for no reason. 

1/4 

James did not dare to say it at first, but after confirming that Ken really wanted to hear the truth, he chose his words carefully. “It’s true that I don’t like Miss Fox. There are two reasons. Firstly, I feel that you’re completely insulting your status by getting married to her. Secondly, it’s because… because…” 

Ken said, “Say it.” 

James gulped and said, “Because I feel sorry for Miss Murphy!” 

Ken frowned. “What does this have to do with her?” 

James boldly raised his head and said, “Mr. Ken, can’t you tell? Miss Murphyhas always liked you. She has sacrificed a lot for you… There are some things that you don’t know, but I know. Back then, Miss Murphy had acute gastroenteritis, and it happened to be the time when our company went public. For the sake of the company, she still worked on her computer during her hospitalization. As a girl, she took painkillers and dealt with documents… She only told me these things, but she never let me tell you.” 

Ken raised his eyebrows. “Continue,” 

James continued, “This is a private matter between you and Miss Murphy. I know that I don’t have the right to say those words. But for so many years, Miss Murphy has worked hard for you. I really can’t stand it… I think you should at least tell Miss Murphy why you registered your marriage with Miss Fox so that Miss Murphy can rest assured. 

“Tell her not to worry?” Ken raised his chin slightly. “Why would I need her to worry about my personal matters?” 

James was stunned. He could hear the determination in Ken’s tone. 

He looked at Ken in shock and said, “Mr. Ken… don’t you like Miss Murphy at all?” 

Ken’s eyes were dark as he said, “You’ve been with me for nine years, so you should know my style of doing things. If I had feelings for Janet, we would have been together long ago.” 

James was stunned. 

This was a situation that he had never expected. “I thought you were more or less in love with Miss Murphy…” 

Ken interrupted James and said, “She and I are just colleagues, or to be precise, she is my subordinate. And it will always be this relationship.” 

“Then… what about you and Miss Fox?” James knew that he had crossed the line today, so he simply asked. 

Ken said, “She’s different. She’s my Grandma’s benefactor, and she’s my benefactor. She’s different from Janet 

When James heard that Ken was not in love with Melody, he finally felt better. 

If Ken did not like Miss Murphy but Miss Fox, he would really suspect that Ken had misjudged. 

Ken’s tone turned cold again. “So, I don’t want to hear about geuing rid of Melody again, understand?” 

James quickly straightened his back and replied. Understood!” 

Ken’s cold expression softened a little. 

He would never allow himself to be involved in a romantic relationship. 

That would only affect his career. 

“Get up.” Ken said to James, who was kneeling on the ground. 

James stood up and asked uncertainly, “Mr. Ken, aren’t you going to punish me?” 

ווו 

Ken turned around andHooked at the floor–to–ceiling window outside the window. “Melody has been in a lot of trouble recently. You need to protect her in secret and listen to her orders when she needs it. Help her deal with the miscellaneous 

mallers. 

James’s eyes widened in disbelief. You want to chase me away?” 

Many people thought that he and Janet were Ken’s right–hand staff. One was in charge of the company, and the other was in charge of dealing with shady business. 

However, James understood that Ken had basically relied on himself. Without him and Janet, Ken would still be the Ken of today. 

James immediately panicked and knelt on the ground again. “Me Ken, I know that I was too unruly today, but no matter how you punish me, please don’t chase me away? I promise I won’t go overboard again in the future!” 

Ken’s expression did not change as he said, Tm not chasing you away. I just want you to be in charge of Melody’s safety and trivial matters. I don’t need you here for the time being. Just treat it as a temporary change of work environment” 

James said. “But…” 

Ken cut him off. “If you don’t want to, then you can just go home and rest for a while. Or you can never come again.” 

James was shocked and quickly agreed. Tm willing! Ill protect Miss Fox!” 

Only then did Ken turn around and look at James. “Report Melody’s whereabouts to me at any time. I need to know what kind of person my wife is.” 

James nodded. “I understand!” 

“Gol” Ken massaged his temples. When you go out, call your assistant in. I need to hold a meeting” 

“Yes!” James did not dare to stay any longer for fear that Ken would change his mind and fire him. 

After leaving the company, James called Melody directly. With a complicated expression, he held his phone and asked, “Miss Fox, where are you now?” 

On the other end of the line. Melody suddenly received a call from James. 

She knew that James was Ken’s staff and would not betray Ken, so she told him the address she was going to. “South Alley. No. 415 NôvelDrama.Org © content.

James answered. Alright, I’ll come and find you right away.” 

Before Melody could ask James why he was looking for her, the call had already ended. 

Confused, she put the phone back in her pocket. 

Coincidentally, the taxi stopped. The driver turned around and said, “Miss, we’re here.” 

Thank you!” Melody paid and got out of the car. She walked to the door of No. 115. 

This was still the place in her memory. Back then, in order to help Ulric poach Zack, she had spent a lot of effort just to find -out Zack’s address. In the end, she had to follow Zack personally to find out about this place. 

The benefit of being reborn was that she did not have to suffer the same losses again. 

However, when she came here again, Melody could not help but sigh. The famous genius in the business world actually lived in such an inconspicuous alley. 

34 

Melody looked at the time and knew that Zack was definitely not at home at this time, so she reached out and knocked on the door. 

“Coming!” An old voice came from inside. 

Hearing the voice, Melody could not help but put on a gentle smile.
