Melody Strikes Back
COMUNIT
Chapter 204
âGrandma. Ken put down the tablet on his knees and held the phone tightly. âDonât forget that Cadenceâs mother also suddenly fell ill. This disease is inheritable, Wendell cares about his face. You know this very well. The reason why I stopped him from visiting was because I was afraid that he would forcefully bring her home despite Cadenceâs condition for the sake of his face.
Margaret said, âThatâs true.â
He said. âI can assure you that bringing Cadence to the hospital for treatment has nothing to do with Wendellâs mistakes in the company?
Margaret nodded and said, Iâm relieved to hear that. However, what did Wendell do in the company!
He answered. âIâll tell you in detail when the matter is resolvedâ
Margaret could only say, âAlright, I understand. If Cadence gets better, let me know immediately.
âOkay, Grandmaâ After the call ended, Ken looked up and asked James, âHas everything been arranged at the mental hospital?â
âYes,â James nodded and said, âCadenceâs condition will only get worse.â
âOkay.â There was no pity in Kenâs eyes. He replied indifferently and asked, âWhere is Wendell now!â
James quickly replied. âHe is at Sky Hall, Ulric is also there. However, my subordinates said that the two of them had been in there for almost three hours. Ulric left half an hour ago, but Wendell has never come outâ â
After a pause. James asked, âShould we get someone to sneak in and take a look?â
âThereâs no needâ¦â As soon as he finished speaking. Melody called.
The call was automatically connected to the carâs Bluetooth. The voice of Melody sounded from the car. âKenâ
Ken nodded with his eyes halfâclosed. His tone was emotionless as he asked, âWhatâs up?â
Melody sa
said. âOn the forum, Wendell posted a post. He wanted to find a doctor who knew nineâline acupuncture to treat Ulricâs leg. After I replied to him, I asked for 200 million dollars, and he agreed
When James, who was in the driverâs seat, heard this, he subconsciously looked at the rearview mirror nervously.
If Melody were to heal Ulricâs leg, he felt that there would be big trouble.
Kenâs expression did not change at all. He asked calmly, âThenâ
Melody asked. âThen I want to ask you, whatâs our next move?
When she went to Ximber Tech last time, she wanted to discuss the forum with Ken. However, Janer was present at that time, so she was not in the mood to talk about it.
Ken raised his eyebrows. âArenât you very short of money? Why donât you want to accept this deal? 200 million dollars is a lot.â
Melody said, âLet alone 200 million dollars, I wonât treat his legs even for 2 billion dollarsâ
Kenâs expression remained unchanged. âSo what do you think!â
âMy idea is to keep him on the book before confirming that no one else knows nineâline acupuncture in this world except Quentin and L. However..â Melody changed the topic and asked, âIs it possible to receive the payment before completing the bounty on the forum? Iâve accepted a few bounties in the past few days and found that they all require the other party to confirm twice before the money can be transferred.â
Kenâs expression finally changed. The comers of his lips curled up slightly as he asked. âYou want to extort a sum from him?â
On the other end of the phone, Melody said matterâofâfactly, Yes. Of course, I have to earn this money. But I just want to take the money and not do anything. How about it? Can we do it!â
Ken smiled faintly and said after two seconds, âNo,â
âWhy notâ Melody asked in confusion, â200 million dollars is enough for him to suffer for a long time,
120
Currently, Ulric did not have much cash flow at his disposal. After losing 200 million dollars, Ulricâs influence would be weakened a lot. In this world, nothing could be done without money.
âThe rule of the black market cannot be broken, Ken said concisely, âOnce an exception is made, the credibility of the forum will be lowered in the
Chapter 904
eyes of users in the future. The forum will quickly collapse.â
Melody was stunned for a moment before she quickly understood Kenâs actions.
Indeed, if the black market wanted to operate in the long term, it could not make an exception for her selfish desires.
For any bounty
ounty on the forum, black market had to charge a 10% commission. This was undoubtedly a huge source of income.
It was indeed not worth it to make an exception for Ulricâs 200
0 million dollars. Melody felt that she was being inconsiderate.
âIâm sorryâ¦â Melody apologized seriously, âI didnât think too much about it. I just said it casually. Just pretend that I didnât mention it just now.â
âAlright, Ken replied. He asked. âI there anything else?â
Melody said, âThereâs something else. Itâs not very important, but I think I should tell youâ
Ken said. âShoot.â
Melody said, âUlric called me. He seems to be trying to rope me in
When Ken heard this, he looked up and glared at James, James happened to be looking in the rearview mirror. The moment their eyes met, he immediately looked away awkwardly and could not help but feel guilty
âI sec.â Ken calmly retracted his gaze. He looked calm, but a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Melody asked, âThatâs your reaction?â
Ken said. âHow should I react!!
âYou should raise my daily salary. If Iâm really poached, youâll lose a lor, Melody said halfâjokingly.
Ken said. âI think about it.â
You.. Forget it. Iâm done. Iâm hanging up With that, Melody ended the call
She pursed her lips and muttered to herself, Why didnât Ken worry that Ulric would really poach me? Am I insignificant to him? This is the only explanation.
Melodyâs expression darkened.
Inside
the Maybach, Ken looked up at James again. âDid you hear everything**
James shrunk his neck and said, âI shouldnât doubt Miss Foxâs credibility. I wonât monitor Miss Foxâs calls anymore.
After a pause, James deliberately changed the topic and asked, âWendell contacted our staff running the forum several times on the forum using his real name. He said that he wanted to see you and discuss cooperation with you. Do I need to do anything?â
âIgnore himâ Kenâs eyes were filled with contempt.
Wendell was not smart enough to come up with the idea of collaborating with the black market. The person who really wanted to obtain the black market was obviously Ulric. However, Ulric would never have thought that the black market was his territory.
Soon, the car arrived at the Swanson Group.
Owen Nathan from Taynorma Capital was already waiting in the reception room.
When he saw Ken enter, he said with a smile, âMr. Swanson, I asked to meet you yesterday, but your assistant said that you didnât have time. I finally get to meet you now.â
Ken directly ignored him. He walked past Owen and sat on the chair. He slowly took a sip of coffee before opening his eyes to look at Owen. âAfter not seeing you for a few days, your mood seems to have improved a lot?â
Owenâs expression froze and he stopped smiling. After sitting opposite Ken, he went straight to the point. âI came here to tell you that you donât have to let the merger lawyer work so hard to investigate anymore. We donât plan to hand Taynorma Capital over to the Swanson Groupâ
After Owen finished speaking, he waited for Ken to reveal a shocked expression,
However, Ken had a halfâsmile on his face.
Owen felt confused.
Owen was instantly stunned. He lost his composure and asked, âWhat did you say?â
Ken was puzzled. âWhatâs wrong? You donât seem to be very satisfied with my blessingâ
