Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 101
Hearing Melodyâs words, Russell was satisfied and his heart was completely at ease.
He said. âI knew it. Youâre my daughter. Why would you blame me? However, I was indeed wrong in this matter. Letâs not mention it again in the future and pretend that nothing happened!â
Melody sneered in her heart, but she smiled and nodded.
The father and daughter looked intimate and happy. When Yolanda heard Melodyâs words, she gritted her teeth in hatred. thinking. Why did this little bitch mention that dead person out of the blue? Wasnât she deliberately trying to annoy me? Wasnât she telling me that everything in this family was built by Wilona and had nothing to do with me? But Iâm the current hostess of this family!â
However, Russellâs heart was now biased toward Melody, who saved Margaretâs life. If Yolanda went against Melody now, it would be going against Russell.
Yolanda was not stupid. She did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, she walked forward with a guilty expression and bowed to Melody before saying. âMelody! Iâm sorry! At first, I thought that you didnât know medicine and that your father had worked hard to earn everything the Fox family had, so I was anxious and thought you would destroy the Fox family. Itâs right that you donât blame your father. Just blame me for everything. Iâm willing to atone for my sins. Iâm okay with it even if you hit or scold me.â
As Yolanda spoke, two drops of tears fell at the right time.
When Russell heard Yolanda had treated Melody in such a humble way, he was immediately dissatisfied.
In his heart, being respectful to the elders was important.
Even if Yolanda did something wrong, Melody could not hit or scold her.
He instantly stopped blaming Yolanda because of her words. Instead, he frowned and instructed Melody, âYolanda already knows her mistake. This matter is over. Weâre still family in the future. You canât blame her, understand?â
Melody was furious as she thought, âGood for you, Yolanda! You made Dad completely forget what you had done wrong with your glib tongue. Impressive, truly impressive!â
However, Melody wondered if Russell would forgive Yolanda just because of a few words of Yolandaâs if he knew that Yolanda had been drugging Maria.
It seemed that she could not expose Yolandaâs evil deeds now. She needed to make Russell hate Yolanda bit by bit. Then, she would give him this blow to make him give up on Yolanda completely.
Melody calculated in her heart, but her mouth did not stay idle. She said gently. âDad, I donât need you to tell me this. Yolanda is my stepmother now and was my motherâs best friend when she was alive. No matter what she did to me, I wonât
blame her.
Russellâs expression turned a little awkward when he heard that
That was true. Yolanda was not Melodyâs biological mother, but he had asked Melody to treat Yolanda with tolerance like Yolanda was her biological mother.
This is indeed a little too much. Itâs better to take it slow. After all, Melody is still young and has not grown up by Yolandaâs side. Itâs normal for the two of them to be very distant. With that thought in mind, Russell coughed dryly. He was too embarrassed to mention asking Melody to forgive Yolanda. He said, âYouâve just been discharged from the hospital and are in poor health. Go back to your room and rest well first. Iâll help you build an account. In the future, youâll have the right to distribute your allowance.â

Melody nodded sensibly.
She thought of Zack and said, âDad, I donât want to spend the familyâs money for nothing. I also want to do something for the family
Yolandaâs eyes instantly narrowed. âIs she trying to enter the Justalion Group?
She would never allow it!
Seeing Russell was about to say something. Yolanda quickly said, âMelody, your father and I are happy to know you have this intention. However, youâre new here. Youâre not familiar with Silverlake, let alone suddenly going to work. However, why donât you go to your fatherâs headhunting company first if you want to work? This company has a bright future and pays you according to your work. If you can poach someone, youâll get a huge commission.
my
Melody sneered in her heart. âYolanda said this because she was worried I would snatch back the Justalion Group that mother had founded. I didnât get the Justalion Group back in my previous life. It was because I only focused on Ulric. However, I will get it back in this life. But not now, I have a lot of things to do now. Iâm not in a hurry to get the Justalion Group back. However, the Justalion Group must be mine. Even if Yolanda wants to stop me, she canât.
After Yolanda finished speaking, Russell, who had originally plarmed to let Melody work at the Justalion Group, hesitated.
The Justalion Group made highâend clothing customizations. Russell was worried Melodyâs face would affect the Justalion Groupâs brand image.
At the thought of this, Russell followed Yolandaâs words and said âYolanda is right. My headhunting company is a good place to train people. After you learn all kinds of rules, I will arrange for you to join the Justalion Group. How about that?
Melody pretended to be ignorant and nodded. âAlright, as long as itâs Dadâs arrangement, it must be for my good. Iâll go to the headhunting company to train myself.â
When Russell heard this, he was instantly satisfied. He also felt Melody was easy to manipulate, so he immediately called the headhunting company.
After the call, he smiled and said to Melody, Iâve already informed them. If you go over there, you can directly enter the upper echelons. It wonât lire you out. At the same time, it can train you
âThank you, Dad, Melody said. She pretended to have a headache and pressed her temples. âDad, I feel a little dizzy. Iâll go, back and rest first.
âAlright, alright. Go quickly. Get well before you go to work,â said Russell.
âOkay, Dad, Melody nodded slightly and made her way precariously to the backyard shed.
Now that the matter was settled, she had to go and see her grandmother quickly.
After Melody left, Russell relaxed a lot.
Just as he was about to continue eating fruits, he heard Yolanda say in a low voice, âRussell, thereâs something I donât know if I should sayâ¦â
Russell was in a good mood because he felt Melody was easy to manipulate. He said, âWeâre husband and wife. You can say anything you want. Just say it.â
Yolanda said, âMelody had lived in the farming family we arranged for her since she was young. I know that family. Theyâre all farmers and donât know any medical skills. Where do you think she learned her medical skills? I keep feeling that this matter is a little strange. Why donât⦠you ask her?â
The people Yolanda sent to the countryside to investigate could not find anything. If she went to ask Melody, she would not get an answer. She might as well let Russell go. She guessed that Melody would not hide it from her biological father.

However, when Russell heard this, he waved his hand and refused. âWhatâs there to ask? Itâs fine as long as you know that she knows medicine. The process isnât important. If you have the time, why donât you think about how to nurture Mabel? This yearâs top socialite evaluation in Silverlake is about to begin. You canât slack off, understand?â
