Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 146
The man rubbed the spot where he was hit in pain. Anger rose from his heart and he turned to glare at Melody angrily. âWhat are you doing!â
Melody finally saw the manâs face. She shook her head expressionlessly. âRyan, I remember that your desk is not here, right? What are you looking for in my cabinet? Itâs not a good habit to steal
Ryan felt a little guilty at first, but when he saw Melodyâs attitude, he simply gave up and scolded, âI am not stealing. Donât fucking slander me!â
Melody frowned. Then may I ask why you went through my cabinet?
Coincidentally, the employees had finished eating and returned one after another. Seeing this, they started to help Melody.
An employee asked, âMr. Fox, what did you take from Miss Fox! If you donât hand it over, donât blame us for calling the police.
Another person said. âI really didnât expect⦠you to be such a person. No, we should have noticed this long ago!â
Everyone looked at Ryan as if he was a thief.
Ryan could no longer maintain his dignity. His cheeks were red as he growled, âShut up! I didnât steal anything donât care about her things!â
Melody crossed her arms, determined to deal with Ryan. Then tell me, why were you rummaging through my cabinet? If you were not stealing, were you helping me clean the cabinet?â
Someone could not help but laugh.
A person urged, âMr. Fox, donât be stubborn now, Just hand it over obediently.â
Ryan glared at that person fiercely. That colleague could not help but look away in panic.
After all, Ryan was also related to their boss. If he really complained to the big boss, this employee might get fired.
When Ryan saw that the person was silent, he raised his chin and retorted, âYou said that I rummaged through your cabinet. Do you have evidence? Did anyone else see it? You clearly wanted to chase me out of the company long ago, so you deliberately made up a lie. If the rest of you believe her, youâre fools!â
Ryan was very confident that when he went through the cabinet just now, only Melody saw it After all, it was a dishonorable thing to look through anotherâs cabinet, even if he did not find what he was looking for. As long as he refused to admit it, he felt that no one could say that he had searched Melodyâs cabinet.
When Melody heard Ryanâs words, he could not help but laugh mockingly. He narrowed his eyes and reminded, âRyan, donât forget that there are surveillance cameras in the office area, Just because others donât see it doesnât mean that the surveillance cameras canât see it. My desk is facing a surveillance camera. Think about it before you speak.â
However, to Melodyâs surprise, Ryanâs expression did not change at all. âAlright, go check the surveillance cameras and let everyone see your true colors! As long as youâre not afraid that everyone will know that youâre slandering me, go and investigate!â
Melody could not help but feel suspicious.
She thought. Did Ryan tamper with the surveillance footage?
She tilted her head and was about to go to the surveillance room to investigate when a young lady who was usually ordered around by Ryan volunteered, âIâll help you investigate!â
1/3
Melody nodded. âThank youâ
The young lady did not say anything else and went to the surveilance room.
Not long after, the lady returned from the surveillance room. However, her expression was a little complicated.
She said, âMiss Fox, the archive of the surveillance footage has been closed at some point. We canât read todayâs surveillance footage.â
Melody had already guessed this outcome the moment she saw ber expression. She turned to look at Ryan coldly. âI was wondering why you dared to ask me to check the surveillance footage.
Ryan shrugged and said fearlessly, âCongratulations, cousin. The surveillance camera happened to be broken. Your true colors will not be known by everyone for the time being. However, sooner or later, everyone will know that youâre not as innocent as you look.â
As Ryan spoke, he pointed out the people who had called him a thief just now. After glancing at them one by one, he said, âThe few of you have slandered me. Just wait to be fired! Also, I am going to sue all of you. See you in court!â
As soon as he said this, the few people whose names were called trembled in fear.
Especially the young lady who had taken the initiative to help Melody check the surveillance cameras. She was so frightened that her eyes turned red as if she could cry in the next second.
Melody knew that the young lady had just graduated from university and could not withstand such a shock.
-Ryan was still threatening people. âIâm reminding you out of kindness that the crime of defamation is a serious offense! If
you know whatâs good for you, apologize to me immediately. I might even be kind enough to forgive youâ
The young lady who had just graduated shivered and subconsciously wanted to go forward and apologize to Ryan.
Seeing this, Melody grabbed her sleeve and said. âYou donât have to apologize to this kind of person
The little girlâs name was Ali Conner. She bit her lower lip aggrievedly and pushed Melodyâs hand away. âMiss Fox, Iâm different from you. My family is very poor. My mother is still waiting for me to take this monthâs salary back to treat Dad. So⦠please donât stop me.
As soon as Ali said this, the others could no longer Stand still. They all stepped forward and prepared to apologize to Ryan,
They were all ordinary people and could not afford to be sued for defamation. Some began to complain about themselves and doubt Melody.
A person said, âIâm really crazy. Why should I meddle in other peopleâs business? We end up being the ones sacrificed for the war between these two people.â
Another person said, âThis matter is indeed strange. Ryan is also related to the big boss. He canât be so poor that he needs to steal things. I think we might have trusted the wrong person. Perhaps Melody really put on a show and acted this out to chase him away.â
Someone else said, âThatâs right. After all, none of us saw if Ryan really went through her cabinet.
A person said. âForget it. Hurry up and apologize to Ryan. No matter what the truth is, itâs better to avoid trouble.â
While everyone was whispering, the little girl, Ali, had already walked up to Ryan.
She gritted her teeth, suppressed the humiliation in her heart, and said, âMr. Foxâ¦â
âNo need to apologize to him!â Melody pulled Ali over again.
2/3
Ali looked into Melodyâs eyes and shook her head. âMiss Fox, I know youâre being kind, but I have to apologize to him. really canât lose my job, so please let go of me.â
âTrust me.â Melody looked at Ali and said seriously. âI have a way to make you not need to apologize.â
Ali looked at Melodyâs serious expression and hesitated for a moment.
For some reason, she trusted Melody very much.
After hesitating for two seconds, Ali took a deep breath and suddenly nodded. âAlright, I believe you!â
When Ryan heard this conversation, he became even more arrogant. He glanced sideways at Ali and said, âThink about it carefully. Do you want to keep Melody as your friend or to keep this job? If Melody gets in trouble, she will at most be scolded by her father. If you offend me, you will lose everything!
