Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 203
Janet held onto the last bit of hope in her heart. She felt that the Murphy family did things flawlessly. Ken was at most suspicious and could not trace things back to her.
Ken took a deep look at
Without saying a word, he walked to the swivel chair behind the desk and sat down with an imposing aura.
Janet was filled with apprehension as she turned to look at James
James wanted to help Janet, but Ken was sitting in front of him. He did not dare to make a sound and only lowered his head pretending not to see Janetâs pleading gaze.
When Janet saw Jamesâs reaction, the hope in her heart instantly disappeared.
As expected, Ken still found out about it.
Just as Janet did not know how to deal with the current situation, she saw Ken take out a cigarette from the cigarette box. He hit it between his lips and was about to light it when he seemed to have thought of something in the next second. He suddenly stopped lighting the cigarette and held it between his fingers.
Janetâs heart trembled slightly.
She had advised Ken not to smoke if he had a cold. He seemed to remember that.
She thought. Does this mean that he actually has me in his heart?â

Janet suddenly gained courage. She took a deep breath and said. âKen, if you have something to say, just say it. If youâre here for Melody, then I admit that I did it. But I donât think Iâm at faultâ
After saying that, Kenâs expression was indistinguishable. He only said with a gloomy gaze. âTell me your mo
Janetâs expression froze as she thought. âMotive! Isnât that the term used when interrogating criminals?
motive.â
She said humiliatingly. âI just want you to understand that it wonât do you any good to be too close to Melody. Ximber Tech is at the most important stage. After this stage, your identity will be revealed sooner or later. At that time, you will be worshipped. Do you want to see her ruin your reputation when that time comes?â
âDrag me down.â Ken gave a halfâsmile. His eyes were filled with coldness.
Janet subconsciously swallowed before she dared to continue. âYes. letâs not talk about her image first. Just based on the environment of her family. if she really has anything to do with you, the Fox family will definitely pester you. I donât want it to be difficult for you to clean up when that time comes, so itâs better to make Melody give up as soon as possible.â
âMake Melody give up?â Ken chuckled. âWhat do you think she wants to do to me?â
âOf courseâ¦â Janet clenched her fists and said. âShe wants to rely on you to rise to the top
Ken pinched the space between his eyebrows. âJane, you seem to have forgotten that weâve already registered our marriage. If she wanted to rely on me to climb up the social ladder, she would have countless opportunities since she already has the title of Mrs. Swanson, but she didnâtâ
Janet gritted her teeth. âThatâs because she wants to cast a long line to catch a big fish and occupy this title for a long time.
Ken glanced at her indifferently. âJanet, you seem to have a huge opinion about her,â
Janet was silent for two seconds before she suddenly nodded and said, âI admit that I donât like her, but everything Iâve done is for you. I believe she must have seen that post. If you donât draw a line with her now, she will only be more unscrupulous.â.
âFor meâ Kenâs voice was cold. He looked at Janet expressionlessly. âIf itâs for me, thereâs no need. Your duty is to design and review the product, not interfere with my private life. You said that Melody is unscrupulous, but what about you! You followed me, took those photos, and posted that post. behind my back. Janet, seeing as weâve been partners for years, Iâve put a lid on this for you, and I wonât mention it again, but this is the last time. If thereâs a next time. I will kick you out of my team.â
Janetâs hear tightened. She asked in disbelief, âKen, what do you mean? You want to chase me out of Ximber Tech for a mere Melody!â
Ken still lit the cigarette in the end, but after taking a puff, he crushed the cigarette butt with his bare hands. That action shocked Janet.
Ken stood up and said indifferently. âI donât want to repeat myself. You havenât been back in this country for long, so you might not have adjusted your condition yet. Come back to work when you have.â
Janetâs face instantly turned pale.

Chapter 203
She gripped the hem of her dress tightly, but she could not say a word. Her eyes turned red.
At this moment, her heart ached as if it was pierced by a needle.
Ken did not even look at her. He only said calmly. âGo to the technical department and hand over the work.â
Janet bit her lower lip and turned around stiffly to walk out.
Although Ken only told her to go back and adjust her condition, she knew that this was a very harsh punishment.
She was not around at the most important stage before the product was introduced, so no matter how popular this product would be in the future. it would not have much to do with her. This was no different from a huge warning,
After Janet left, James wanted to say something but hesitated. There were a few times when the words were at the tip of his tongue, but he still did not have the courage to say them. He swallowed them again.
Ken glanced at James coldly. âYou think Iâm coldâblooded?
James opened his mouth and shook his head. âNoâ¦â
Ken raised his eyebrows and said, âIf I were coldâblooded and disregarded old feelings, I wouldnât have given her this chanceâ
James took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say, âBut, Mr. Ken⦠Miss Murphy did everything for you. If you let her go home and adjust, wouldnât the punishment be too severe!â
âFor me!â Ken found it funny. âDo you really think so too?â
James choked. He realized that he could not answer this question immediately.
âThatâs enough.â Ken looked at the time and said. âGo meet people from Taynorma Capital and then return to Serenity
v Villa
James quickly responded. He could not help but ask excitedly. âMr. Ken, can I come back and be with you?â
n was unperturbed. âYou are far more useful being with Melody than being me. Help her poach Zack and you can come back.â
Ken
James said. âYes!â
He thought. What if Miss Fox can not poach Zack? Then wouldnât I never be able to return to Mr. Kenâs side for the rest of my life?
On the way. Ken received a call from Margaret, âGrandmaâ¦
As soon as he opened his mouth. Margaret interrupted him and asked, âKen, why did I hear Astrid say that Cadenceâs condition was not so serious that she needed to be hospitalized? Moreover, your staff were blocking the entrance of the hospital. Even she and Cadenceâs father could not go in to visit?â
Kenâs expression did not change. He asked, âWhat did she tell you?!â
Margaret was silent for two seconds before saying truthfully. âShe said that itâs because Wendell doesnât agree with you on the project, so you.. Ken, if thatâs the case, no matter what, you canât take your anger out on Cadenceâ
Ken asked calmly, âGrandma, do you also think that Iâm abusing my power?â
Margaret was silent for a while before saying. âOf course, Grandma doesnât think youâre that kind of person. Itâs just that yesterday, she was still fine. Why did her condition suddenly⦠become so serious?â.
