Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 189
Russellâs expression changed drastically when he saw Yolanda revealing family scandals in front of Ken. He growled Yolandaâs name. âYolandat Shut up
Yolanda was taken aback just as she was hesitating whether to say those words in front of Ken, Melody smiled faintly and asked. âYolanda, are you so sure! Do you have other evidence? The innocent have nothing to fear. If you have any evidence, please show it.â
Melody deliberately used provocative tactics. If it were the usual Yolanda, she might have backed down. However, after a series of setbacks, Yolanda could no longer bear it and lost her composure,
She said immediately. It was on the 18th that day. I met you at the real estate sales center. You canât deny that, can you?â
wonât deny itâ Melodyâs expression did not change
âThatâs good!â Yolanda said coldly to Russell. âThat day, I saw with my own eyes that she spent a large sum of money to buy a house. Her pocket money at home is nowhere near enough for that. Where did that money come from!â
Melody was about to speak, bur Yolanda cut in ahead of her and continued. âBut if she uses my 4 million dollars to buy a house with potential valueâadded, I wonât blame her Just treat this 4 million dollars as her comingâofâage gift. But do you know where the bought the house?â
Russell suppressed his anger and asked impatiently. âWhere did she buy the house?â
Upon hearing this, Russell was shocked.
He looked at Melody in disbelief and asked, âDid you really buy a house in Eastern Garden?
âYesâ Melody glanced at the time and then looked up at Russell. âIs there a problem!â
âWhat problem? Itâs a big problem
Russell was furious and deeply disappointed. If Ken was not here, he would have slapped Melody hard once again
He gritted his teeth and scolded, Idios, do you know that buying a house there is like throwing money into the water? No one in all of Silverlake would be stupid enough to buy a house in Easter Garden!â
Melody asked calmly. âWhat if I say that the value of this house will increase?â
âImpossible! How did I give birth to such a stupid daughter like you!â Russell was so anxious that he was about to stomp his fees.
Maria frowned. âTinât it just 4 million dollars? Sheâs not spending money recklessly. Even if the house isnât worth much, itâs still a fixed asset. If thatâs the case. Iâll pay for 4 million dollars. Just treat it as a gift for Melody
âMom. Russell hesitated.
Before, losing 4 million dollars would have been a small setback. But after returning from this business trip, the deal he had lined up fell through. Now, the company was in a dire situation, facing a major cash flow problem
Throwing 4 million dollars at this critical juncture was simply painful.
âMr. Swansonâ Russell did not dare to vent his anger in front of Ken. He could only smile apologetically at Ken and say, Im sorry for what happened at home today. Itâs already so late and itâs not convenient to disturb you with trivial matters. Shall I send you our?â
After sending
Ken away, he returned and planned to properly discipline Melody.
However, as Russellâs words trailed off, a servant rushed in and reported. âSir, thereâs someone named Errol Glover outside, He says heâs here to see Miss Melody
Errol Glover!â
Just as Russell was about to ask, Yolanda immediately said, âErrol Glover is Eastern Gardenâs real estate manager. Coincidentally, heâs here. Now, we can confirm that she did buy a lossâmaking property from Eastern Garden! If it matches up with the 4 million dollars, you can be sure whose pocket my 4 million dollars went to
As Yolanda finished speaking. Errol quickly walked in.
He saw the room full of people and hesitated for a moment, but then he excitedly approached Melody and said, âMiss Fox! Thank you on behalf of my family!
Other than Melody, everyone was puzzled.
Melody calmly said, âMr. Glover, what do you mean? Why are you suddenly thanking me?â
âEastern Garden! Itâs rising Errolâs voice trembled as he spoke, clearly overwhelmed with excitement.
âHuh?â Melody pretended to be surprised.
Yolanda couldnât believe it and blurted out. âThatâs impossible! Everyone knows Eastern Gardenâs property prices have been consistently falling in Silverlake. Thereâs no way they could be rising!â
Errol set down the gifts he had brought and spoke passionately, âThatâs how it was originally. We rarely sold houses at Eastern Garden. The buyers were either outsiders who didnât understand the market or locals in urgent need of housing.â
Errol gulped excitedly and continued. âBut just an hour ago, the officials suddenly announced that the nearby hill where that land is located will be used to build the main venue for the Olympics!
Upon hearing this, Yolandaâs vision instantly blurred, and her mind was in a mess. She couldnât hear anything around her.
Errol continued, ignoring Yolandaâs reaction. âEastern Garden has been hard to sell because of poor transportation, amenities, and medical facilities. But after they build the main venue, theyâll definitely construct a subway line. So, Eastern Gardenâs property values have skyrocketed. Before I came here to thank you, all the units in Eastern Garden had already been sold out!â
âWh what,
This was the first time Halcyon had successfully bid for the Olympics. It was obvious they would put in ten times the effort to make it successful. One could imagine that the value of Easter Gardenâs house would increase exponentially
Russell was a little excited when he heard that.
Errol turned to Melody with a face full of gratitude and said, âMiss Fox, the day you bought fifteen units and persuaded me to buy one too, I went home and thought about it all night. I finally decided to scrape together enough to buy one unit. I thought it was just a moment of impulse that I would regret for the rest of my life. But now, Iâve made four to five times my investment, and itâs still rising⦠Thatâs why I brought these gifts to thank you on behalf of my entire family!â
âFifteen uniteâ Russell raised his voice in surprise
He was going to be rich
âThatâs right, Errol said generously. âIs Miss Fox your daughter? Youâre really lucky. Your daughter has such good taste. Iâm so envious of you! If i had known that Miss Fox was such a godly person. I would have bought a few more sets even if I had to borrow money from loan sharks!â
Being praised so much, Russell completely forgot that not long ago, he had even called Melody a little bastard and said he wished he could strangle her to death when she was born
Melody looked at Russellâs expression and mocked him in her heart.
However, she didnât show any hint on her face. After seeing Errol of, Melody turned to Yolanda and said, âYolanda, Iâve bought a total of fifteen houses in Eastern Garden, totaling far more than 4 million dollars. Now, do you still think I stole your money?â
Yolanda finally came back to her senses. Upon hearing Melodyâs words, her face turned pale again.
