“Goodness gracious! It’s fortunate that you still care about Miss Melody. Madam seems to only have Miss Mabel in her heart, where would she find the time to give Miss Melody pocket money? The money Miss Melody used to buy the dress for the Swanson family’s birthday party yesterday was still provided by Mrs. Fox.” Hattie sighed again and continued, “Miss Melody is sensible, not mentioning her grievances to you, but I can’t bear to see it. I hope you don’t mind me being too meddlesome.” 

Though Hattie was a servant, she had watched Russell grow up. How could Russell ever dislike her? 

Russell looked apologetically at Melody and said, “It’s my fault for not thinking it through. Here’s my supplementary card, you take it and use it. From now on, you don’t need to ask your mom for money, just use this card.” 

Russell handed Melody a supplementary bank card from his wallet. 

Melody pretended to decline a bit before finally accepting the card under Hattie’s prompting. 

Russell said, “If you need anything in the future, just tell me directly. Your mom… She’s a bit tblased towards your sister, but your sister is still young. You should be more accommodating to her, understand?” 

Melody felt disdainful inside. “Young? She’s only a year younger than me. Isn’t it because you favor Mabel more?” 

But Melody didn’t say anything, nodding obediently as if understanding. “I got it. I’ll be more considerate of my sister.” 

Russell nodded satisfactorily. 

His daughter may 

it was enough. 

not be the prettiest, but as long as she behaved and didn’t cause any trouble, that 

Soon, Russell left. As he got into his car, he vaguely saw a luxury car parked across the street, its license plate seeming familiar, like belonging to the Swanson family. 

Just as Russell was about to get a clear look, the car turned into another street. 

He shook his head, denying his inner thoughts. “How could someone from the Swanson family be waiting opposite my house early in the morning? I must be getting old and having eye problems.” 

With that in mind, Russell instructed his driver, “Schedule the most expensive medical check–up for me. I’ll go after work.” 

“Yes.” The driver nodded quickly and complied. 

On the other side, after watching Russell leave, Melody turned to Hattie with gratitude. “Thank you, Hattie.” 

Hattie smiled and waved her hand. “What’s there to thank for? You’re being too polite. We’re all one family. Ever since you came back, Mrs. Fox has been in better spirits. I hope you’ll help take care of Mrs. Fox more in the future. It would ease my mind.” 

Maria owed Hattie a lot. As long as Maria’s health improved, even if Hattie had to face death, she would not hesitate. 

“Alright, he’s been waiting for a while, don’t keep him waiting. Go on,” Hattie waved her hand at her and walked back to the backyard. 

Melody looked gratefully at Hattie’s back and walked out towards the gate. 

Across the street from the gate was a modified Rolls–Royce, with wheels worth five or six figures alone. Needless to say, it must be someone from the Swanson family.

Chapter 41 

Melody wondered in her heart, “But who is coming to pick me up for the purchase of medicine?”

Out of curiosity, Melody couldn’t help but quicken her pace. But because she opened the door too eagerly, she accidentally stumbled into the 

tar. 

Coincidentally, her face landed on the man sitting in the back seat’s thigh. 

Between breaths, there was a masculine scent in the air 

For an instant, Melody, like a startled cat, bounced off from the man’s thigh. 

But she forgot she was in a car. Just 

1st as s she 

straightened up, her head hit the car’s ceiling hard. 

Bang! 

“Ah…” Melody sucked in a cold breath in pain, her eyes misting uncontrollably with tears. 

This bump was indeed quite severe. She could feel a big lump forming on her head. 

Before she could recover, she heard a low mocking voice-“You’re impatient. You haven’t even started treating my grandmother, and you’re already thinking of marrying me?” 

This voice… Melody stiffened, surprised, as she looked at the man sitting in the car. 

The man had a chiseled face and impeccable features that would make any girl jealous. However, he exuded no hint of gentleness. His dark eyes emitted a powerful aura of coldness, his entire being exuding a calm and aloof arrogance. 

Such a strong aura and noble arrogance were Innate, a kind of pressure that suppressed all men in front of him without the need to speak, 

Needless to say, it was Ken. 

In the past, Melody only had eyes for Ulric and never paid attention to other men, naturally missing the fact that Ken, Ulric’s brother, was 

even more attractive than Ulric. 

However, at the moment, Melody couldn’t afford to admire Ken’s handsome face. She was filled with annoyance and anger, 

She accidentally fell on him, which was indeed her fault. Anyone could see that she didn’t mean it. She shouldn’t be blamed for this much 

but Ken said such harsh words in front of the driver. He was making it difficult for her. 

Melody didn’t know when she had offended Ken, making his attitude towards her changeso drastically. ‘Didn’t I save him once on the cruise ship? Is this how he treated someone who saved his life?! 

Melody was displeased and didn’t show Ken a good attitude. With a cold face, she said, “It was not intentional” 

“Hmph,” Ken chuckled lowly, saying, “You didn’t mean to? You fell pretty accurately. Let me remind you, whether you can cure my grandmother or not, I will never marry you.” 

He was very disappointed in Melody, and now, this disappointment had reached its peak, turning into disgust. 

If it weren’t for his grandmother suddenly willing to see him and telling him that this girl could help her heal, he wouldn’t have come at all. 

It was all for his grandmother, not Melody. 

Melody sneered, rubbing her sore head as she sat in the car. “Don’t worry. I never planned to marry you.”

Chapter 41 

She’d rather stay single than marry such an unpredictable person, 

In fact, she had planned to remain single for life. 

What could men do? They only brought endless pain to women. 

She would never repeat the same mistakes, never throw herself into love like a moth to a flame. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

She had already decided that after completing her revenge, she would live her life to the fullest, free from the shackles of petty love. 

“It’s better this way.” Ken averted his gaze, unwilling to say more to her. He instructed the driver, “Drive. To Herbathrive.” 

“Wait.” Melody quickly said, “Let’s not go to Herbathrive. I’ll give you the address.” 

She handed over the pre–checked map on her phone. 

Ken frowned. “Herbathrive is the largest traditional medicine shop in Silverlake. If not there, then where?” 

Melody couldn’t be bothered to argue with Ken further. She simply said, “You’ll see when we get there.” 

Ken remained silent, opening his tablet to start working. 

Melody didn’t want to eavesdrop, but with such limited space in the car, she couldn’t help but catch a glimpse of Ken’s tablet. 

She accidentally caught sight of a complex design on Ken’s tablet. She didn’t understand the design, but from what she could see, it seemed to be some kind of high–tech device.
