Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 111
Astrid was so angry that she held her forehead and said, âIdiot! Of course, you need to return the money to Taynorma Capital
âButâ¦â Wendell stammered.
âWhat Youâre about to be chased out of the Swanson Group, yet you still feel sorry for this 10 million dollars?â Astrid asked.
âNo, but..â Wendell gritted his teeth and stammered. âIâve already used up the 10 million dollarsâ¦.
âYou used it up? What about your other money? Youâve been in the Swanson Group for so long. You must have made some money. Donât tell me you canât even save 10 million dollars! Tell me honestly, did you gamble again?â Astrid asked furiously.
Wendell saw that he could not hide it anymore, so he could only tell the truth. âT⦠Astrid, I wonât gamble anymore in the future! Please save me this time!â
âYou! Youâre driving me crazy!â Astrid was so angry that her migraine was about to flare up. However, the other party was her biological brother and she needed her people in the Swanson Group. In the end, she could only transfer 10 million dollars
to Wendell.
She said. âThis is the last time! I definitely wonât help you next time! Also, youâd better find a traditional medicine practitioner who can perform nineâline acupuncture in three days. Otherwise, youâll have to return this 10 million dollars to
meâ
When Wendell heard this, he agreed repeatedly.
It was just a traditional medicine practitioner. Compared to 10 million dollars, it was nothing.
âDonât worry, Astrid. Iâll find a doctor for Ulric and treat his legs, said Wendell.
That better be the case!â Astrid said and hung up.
If the other party werenât her biological brother, she wouldnât care about this idiot.
âHe canât do anything right!â Astrid scolded as she found Ulric and quickly told him Ken was already in charge of the headquarters pro tempore.
Ulric said with a dark expression, âI had no idea about this. It seems Ken is more important than me in Fatherâs heart.â
âHow is that possible? Youâre his son too. He canât be so biased that he wonât give you anything, Astrid comforted him.
Ulric sneered with a complicated expression and said, âIf Father werenât biased, why did he still protect Ken even though Ken crippled my legs and didnât let us call the police? If I was the one who crippled Kenâs legs back then, do you think Father would have let me off?â
âOf course, he would!â Astrid blurted out.
She gritted her teeth. She knew very well that her status in Ramonâs heart wasnât as high as his exâwifeâs, but she firmly believed that after being by his side for so many years, Ramon must have her and her son in his heart.
At the thought of this, Astrid said, âHe protected Ken and didnât let us call the police because he didnât want to expose his dirty laundry
Is that the case?â Ulric looked at Astrid deeply and said, âOr do you think Father wonât suspect my legs?â
Astrid felt a chill down her spine and subconsciously denied it. He canât possibly suspect anything!â

O
Although she said that, Astrid started to panic for no reason.
âLetâs not dwell on this anymore.â Ulric looked away and said coldly, Tm telling you this because I want to tell you that if
I will remove all obstacles for the Swanson Group, induding Father!â
necessary,
Astridâs back stiffened, but she didnât say anything to dissuade him.
In her heart, her son was much more important than her husband.
âHowâs the search for the doctor who can perform nineâline acupuncture?â Ulric grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair and asked.
It was difficult for him to move. Although he could walk, he could only rely on his walking stick and could not walk far. Therefore, he had to rely on Astrid to do many things.
At the mention of the doctor who could perform nineâline acupuncture, Astrid quickly said, âIâm looking for him. Iâve also asked your uncle to help me find one. As you know, although your uncle is unreliable, he knows all kinds of people. He might have more connections than me.â
âAs soon as possible. We donât have much time left. If Ken stays in the headquarters for too long, and things become like at the Insterimond branch, we wonât be able to shake his position.
âI know. Iâll do it as soon as possible!â said Astrid.
After the mother and son finished talking about Ken, Ulric mentioned Melody again. âKeep an eye on that ugly freak too. Itâs best if we can get rid of her directly. Although I donât know why, I feel a little uneasy.â
âMelody?â Astrid smiled coldly and said, âDonât worry. I just heard that Fairlee from the court is finding trouble with her. Her nephew is still lying in the hospital. She canât take this lying down. Fairlee will help us destroy Melody without us doing anything.â
âVery good⦠In that case, thereâs no need to reveal Kenâs marriage to the public now. Otherwise, it wonât be good if Fairlee retreats because of the Swanson family.â Ulric reminded his mother.
âI know. How can I not even know this?â Astrid said.
As the mother and son spoke, they fell into a dead silence, each making plans.
On the other side, Melody took out the two most valuable bags from the pile of gifts and put them in the bags before walking out.
Although she didnât have a receipt, she still planned to go to the counter and ask whether she could get a refund. After all, she hadnât even opened the box.
However, when she passed by the hall, Melody happened to bump into Mabel, who was about to go out to attend the socialite training class.
She ignored Mabel, but Mabel stuck to her like a sticky candy. When she saw Melody taking a taxi on her phone, she pretended to be surprised and asked, âMelody, didnât Dad arrange a driver for you? Dad is too much. Youâve been back for so long, but he still hasnât assigned you a driver. After I return from school tonight, Iâll help you talk to Dad. Or Iâll get Dad to lend you the driver he assigned to me.â
When Melody heard this, she stopped and suddenly paused. âDo you hear anything?â
When Mabel heard this, she subconsciously shut up and listened. She, she shook her head. âNo, what did you hear!â
âI heard a pig barking. Maybe a pig was yelling just now.â As soon as Melody finished speaking, the online car she had called

arrived. Melody immediately opened the car door and got in.
The car sped away quickly. Mabel, still standing at the same spot had yet to react.
âThe sound of a pig? A pig was yelling?â Mabel scratched her head in confusion and suddenly realized what Molody meant.
She immediately stomped her foot in exasperation and scolded âBitch! Youâre the bitch! You bitch!â
However, Melody had already taken a car out of the neighborhood and could not hear Mabelâs scolding.
Mabel was so angry that her face almost turned green.
âDamn it⦠I wonât let you off, Melody!â Mabel gritted her teeth and suddenly, her eyes lit up.
âOh, right⦠Mom has told me not to make a move before Grandma dies. However, Mom is not always right. I must kill Melody today! With that in mind, Mabel had a vicious plan. She looked at the time on her phone, turned around, and quickly ran to the villa. Then, she quietly went to Yolandaâs room.
At that time, Yolanda had not woken up yet. She secretly went to the safe where Yolanda had hidden her things and took out a card.
