Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 213
âMr. Nelson!â Melody quickly caught up with Zack and stopped in front of him. âMr. Nelson, can I have a few minutes of your time?â
âNo.â Zack walked around her expressionlessly.
Melody persevered and followed behind Zack. As she walked, she said, âYou should already know me. Iâm indeed a headhunter. Iâm really sorry for hiding my identity previously. Iâm sorry. I hope you can forgive me this once.â
Zack turned a deaf ear and walked straight to the chair with his name pasted on it and sat down.
Melody was about to sit down when a middleâaged man holding a glass of champagne walked over with a pretty girl.
Melody vaguely felt that the girl looked a little familiar. When the other party approached, her eyelids twitched fiercely.
She thought, âIsnât this Mabelâs friend, Pamela Clark?â
Fortunately, Pamela did not notice her. She stared straight at Zack.
The middleâaged man was the first to greet Zack. âMr. Nelson, long time no see.â
âMr. Clark.â Zack nodded slightly in response.
The man seemed to be used to Zackâs cold attitude. His smile deepened as he introduced the girl beside him. âThis is my daughter, Pamela Clark. Youâve met her at the charity gala last time. Pam, havenât you always wanted to see Mr. Nelson? Why donât you greet him?â
Pamela blushed and glared at her father. Then, she lowered her head and said shyly, âHello, Mr. Nelson. My name is Pamela⦠We went to the same school. Iâve known you for a long time. Can I get your number?â
âIâm sorry,â Zack suddenly glanced at Melody beside him and said apologetically, âMy girlfriend is very strict and doesnât allow me to give my number to other women.â
Melody was stunned. She turned around and saw Pamela looking at her in shock. The shock quickly turned into hatred. The way Pamela looked at her was like a cold blade, wishing she could stare at her to death.
Melody suddenly had a bad feeling.

After the man was surprised, he said awkwardly, âI didnât know that Mr. Nelson already had a girlfriend. Iâm really sorry. Pam, letâs go.â
âIâm not leaving!â Pamela shook off her fatherâs hand and pointed at Melodyâs nose. She asked Zack, âZack, do you know who she is? Sheâs the Fox familyâs daughter who was raised in the countryside! Sheâs not worthy of you at all!â
âRaised in the countryside?â When Zack heard this, he looked at Melody in surprise. A layer of coldness immediately covered his eyes. He was also from a poor background and would not discriminate against people of the same background. However, Melodyâs mistake was that she should not have used medicine to treat his grandfather without having any medical skills.
He thought, âGrandpa actually believes her so much. He even mentioned Melody when I called him just now. He is really deceived by this woman!
Zackâs expression turned even uglier.
When Pamela saw Zackâs face darkened, she was secretly delighted. Then, she said even more brazenly, âOnce she returned to Silverlake, she often bullied her sister. She even snatched her sisterâs sweetheart and even hung out with some local hooligans. Zack, donât be fooled by this womanâs sweet words!â
Melody frowned deeply and warned coldly, âMiss Clark, you have to be responsible for your words. Arenât you afraid that Iâll sue you for defamation?â
Pamela said, âIâm telling the truth. Iâm not afraid of you suing me! Didnât you slander Mabel for stealing the bracelet recently? You obviously stole that bracelet yourself!â
âYouâ¦â Melody was about to defend herself when Zack suddenly stood up and said, âI didnât expect you to be such a person. Letâs not contact each other anymore.â
With that, Zack turned around and left, leaving her with a cold back view.
Melody gritted her teeth. She knew very well that Zack did it on purpose.
She turned to look at the smug Pamela and said coldly, âDo you like being used by others that much?â
Pamela frowned. âWhat do you mean?â

Melody did not say it explicitly. She only said leisurely, âHow pitiful. You are clearly just her pawn, but you spared no effort to help her on all occasions. Mabel would probably find it funny if she knew, right?â
Pamela recalled what happened at the cafe and felt a little uncomfortable.
At that time, although Mabel had explained it to her, this grudge was still there. After Melody mentioned it, she was a little uncertain.
However, Pamelaâs brain could not think of a deeper level. As she hesitated, she thought that Melody was trying to change the topic. She scolded with a dark expression, âDonât sow discord here! Let me tell you, youâre not worthy of Zack at all! If I see you pestering him again, donât blame me for being rude!â
After Pamela finished speaking, she looked like she could not be bothered with her anymore and turned to leave.
Melody looked at Pamelaâs slightly panicked back and pursed her lips.

Pamela clearly did not fully believe her words, but she only needed to plant a seed of doubt in Pamelaâs heart. Sooner or later, this seed would take root and grow into a towering tree.
She ignored Pamela and looked around. When she saw that Zack was about to leave, she quickly chased after him.
What Pamela had said today had greatly affected Zackâs impression of Melody. If she did not explain clearly, she would not be able to poach Zack.
However, there were too many people in the venue. She was squeezed by the crowd and finally caught up to Zack who was crossing the road outside.
Zack was on the phone with someone. At this moment, the traffic light on the sidewalk turned red. Zack did not notice at all and continued to make calls as he walked forward. At this moment, a sports car sped over in the direction of Zack.
Melodyâs heart tightened. As she ran towards Zack, she shouted, âZack, be careful!â
Zack turned his head in shock and saw a black spot appear in front of his eyes from the lights of the sports car. He could not see clearly at all.
Before he could react, just as the sports car was about to hit him, suddenly a huge force suddenly came from behind his waist. âBang!â He was knocked to the side of the road by a slender figure, and both of them fell to the ground.
At the same time, the sports car whizzed past, leaving only the exhaust of the car and a cursing voice. âDo you want to die? Why arenât you checking the road?â
Zack lay on the ground. His heart had never beat so violently before. That was because he had survived a calamity and his adrenaline was soaring.
He looked at the person pressing down on him with lingering fear. He knew that if this person had danger.

appeared, his life would have been in
Thankâ¦â Before he could finish, Zack finally saw who saved him. âYou⦠howâ¦â
âAre you alright?â Melody quickly got up from Zackâs body. After carefully checking his condition, she be sigh of relief. âFortunately, youâre
not injured. Hurry up and get up. The road is not safe.â
