Seeing that she had agreed, Janet could not help but smile.

She pretended to remind Mabel kindly, “By the way, there’s a taboo in her family. She can’t see dogs or anything similar to dogs. Her mother got bitten by a wild dog and fell ill with rabies. In the end, she passed away.”

When Mabel heard this, she quickly nodded. “Don’t worry, Miss Murphy. I’ll remember it!”

Janet nodded briefly, took a luxury brooch from her body, handed it to Mabel, and said, “We hit it off very well. It is my gift to you. I hope we can become good friends in the future.”

“Thank you! Miss Murphy, we will become good friends!” said Mabel.

“Since we’re friends in the future, don’t call me Miss Murphy. Just call me Janet.”

“Okay, and you can call me Mabel. Mabel pretended to be calm on the surface, but she had already become extremely excited

She had wanted to curry favor with Janet, but she did not expect Janet to give her a greeting gift so easily and become friends with her.

However, Mabel’s disguise was seen through at a glance by Janet

She had the mockery in her eyes and revealed a peaceful smile. Very good. I’ve planted two baits with Mabel and cant wait for the fish to take the bait!

At that time, she would see whether Melody could come. However, it did not matter if Mabel did not bring Melody along. She would get Fairlee to send an invitation directly to the Fox family. She could lure Melody to the Lawrence family’s birthday party no matter what.

At that time, she wanted Melody’s reputation to be ruined!

At the same time, at the entrance of Silverlake Hospital.

Melody and Ken were not idle either.

The 8 million dollars she had obtained from Janet was not spent because she had yet to gain the trust of Herbathrive.

And this money had to be put to the greatest use.

She looked at the latest development in Silverlake on her phone With the advantage of “living once again, she bought ten houses in the same building without hesitation.

The real estate salesperson immediately called and warmly welcomed her to the real estate center to sign the property purchase contract.

Houses in Silverlake were easy to be sold. However, because the building Melody chose was located in Silverlake’s least economically developed and most inaccessible area, even if the price was low, there were not many buyers because people were not optimistic about this building.

Melody held her phone and replied calmly, “Okay, I’ll come over to sign the contract when I have time.

After the finished the call, a tall man rushed over against the light, and his shadow covered her face.

Ken’s beautiful eyes were filled with darkness. Unlike Ulric, Ken bad dark and sharp eyes. They fused with his aura, making

him look even colder.

However, Melody knew that he was not a cold person deep down. On the contrary, Ulric, who had soulful blue eyes, was the real heartless one.

“There you are.” Melody took a few steps forward. Seeing that he was looking at her, she quickly spread her arms and said, Tm not lying to you. I’m not injured.”

Ken retracted his gaze and said calmly. “Get in the car first.”

Melody nodded. After getting into the car, she did not forget to ask, “Where is the deputy director now?”

She believed that she was a person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Since the other party wanted both of her hands, she naturally would not let that deputy director have an easy time!

Ken stopped walking and said, “You don’t need to know where he is now.”

“Why?” Melody asked in confusion.

As soon as she finished speaking, the radio in the car rang. “This is an urgent news break. The former deputy director of Silverlake Hospital was investigated for taking bribes in private and colluding with medical equipment agencies. He committed suicide by jumping off a building at home. When he was discovered, he no longer had any vital signs….

Hearing the content of the radio, Melody could not help but look at Ken again.

However, he did not react at all. He drove the car away from the hospital expressionlessly.

You Melody opened her mouth again but realized she did not know what to say

After two seconds of silence, Melody decided not to mention the deputy director anymore.

Regardless of whether it was true that the deputy director committed suicide by jumping off a building, it was enough for Melody to know this result. There was no need to pursue the reason.

For adults, the process was the least important.

She was silent for two seconds before saying, “Actually, I met two groups of killers today. I can confirm one group was from the deputy director. Their skills are average, and I dealt with them in a few moves. But I’m not sure who sent the other group. Those people were quite skilled. If I had continued to fight them, I might not have been able to escape…

Ken slowed down when he heard that

Melody continued, “However, what I can be sure of is that these two groups of people are from the black market in Silverlake. They have wolf–head tattoos on their arms. Coincidentally, I had the chance to enter the black market. So I could recognize them”

As she spoke. Melody paused and asked, “Do you know about the black market in Silverlake?”

Ken looked at her with a complicated expression.

Before Melody could finish, Ken asked, “What color is the wolf–lead tattoo on those people’s arms?”

Dark red Melody replied.

“Wait for a second,” Ken aid as he pulled over and made a call.

“Help me find out whose order the Crimson Team took on today,” said Ken.

Melody was even more puzzled when she heard Ken’s call

The Crimson Team? Is he referring to the second batch of killers who tried to kill me today? Melody wondered.

Not long after, Ken hung up and turned to look at her. I found it The person who hired th

Mabel Fox.

“Mabel?” Melody could not help but raise her voice slightly.

This outcome was beyond her expectations, but it made sense.

Crimson Team to kill you is

She had performed better than Mabel at the birthday party and cured Margaret’s illness. Coupled with Russell’s care for her now, it was normal for Mabel to see her as someone she had to get rid of

However, Melody was sure that Yolanda was not aware of this

Based on how much Yolanda doted on Mabel, she wouldn’t let Mabel hire an assassin on the black market.

“Mabel Melody narrowed her eyes coldly. Looks like I have to speed up.”

“Speed up on what?” Ken’s voice suddenly sounded from the side.

Only then did Melody remember that there was someone beside her. She smiled dryly and waved her hand. “Nothing. By the way, how did you find out?”

Ken looked at her deeply and said casually, “Because I own the black market,”

“What?” Three large exclamation marks appeared above Melody’s head. So the big shot of the black market is actually by my side? And this big shot is my registered husband? How small this world is!”

“Surprised?” Ken looked at her meaningfully and asked, “Do you still think I’m a good person now?”

Melody was speechless.

If he hadn’t said it, she would have forgotten that she had said he was a good person.

“Ahem!” Melody coughed dryly and rubbed her hands as she asked obsequiously. “Mr. Swanson, can you give me a pass since I’m your wife?”
