Chapter 226
Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 226
Russell was originally in a good mood, but when he heard Yolanda and Mabel echoing each other, he slowly frowned, and there was suppressed anger in his eyes. âWould both of you rather trust an outsider than Melody! Although Melody came back from the countryside, youâve seen it during this period of time. Her upbringing and temper have all inherited my merits. Sheâs not someone who doesnât know her limits!â
When Mabel heard that Russell was biased towards Melody, she was immediately enraged. She did not care about Yolandaâs instructions and said. âDad, itâs not that I donât believe Melody, but Iâve already called Mr. Clark. He personally told me that Melody was the one who detained Pamela. The Clark family has ordered a lot of things from our company, What if Mr. Clark vents his anger on the company? Mom and I are worried about our familyâs future.â
Russell was furious. He reached out and slapped Mabel. He felt that his dignity as the head of the family had been challenged. âAccording to you. the Justalion Group canât do without the Clark family? Am I so useless in your eyes?â
Mabel was hit so hard that her entire body tilted to the side. She looked at Russell in disbelief as tears streamed down her face.
Yolandaâs heart ached. As she rubbed Mabelâs face, she said, âRussell, why did you hit her for no reason? You know that she admires you the most in her heart. How can she think that youâre useless? This matter has really blown up. Weâre all afraid that Melody will harm our company
Only then did Russellâs anger dissipate a little, but his tone was still cold. âDonât worry, Melody wonât harm our family.
This time, Yolanda couldnât hold it in anymore. She said, âRussell. I know your heart aches for Melody, but you canât spoil the child too much. She caused more trouble this time than before. If you donât teach her a lesson, it will be even worse in the future. By then, it will be too late!â
Russellâs anger, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, was aroused again. âWhatâs wrong! You and your daughter canât tolerate a little girl from the countryside?â
Yolandaâs eyes were filled with surprise.
Russell continued angrily. âMabel, youâve been spoiled by your mother since you were young. You can get whatever you want, but what about Melody? I was afraid that your mother wouldnât get along with her, so I sent her to the countryside when she was only a child. I pity her for being so young and growing up alone in the countryside. Itâs not easy for her to finally come back now. Itâs fine if you donât treat her well, but you want me to teach her a lesson all the time. Why are you so petty? If I hear you say anything bad about her in the future, donât blame me for punishing you!â
The more Russell spoke, the angrier he became.
He was not a fool. During this period of time, he had seen how Yolanda and Mabel treated Melody. It was just that he did not take it to heart in the past. However, this did not mean that he was blind. Now, after Kenâs reminder, he deeply felt that as a father, he was really a failure. If he continued to let Yolanda and Mabel go on like this, something would happen sooner or later. Therefore, he had to teach them a lesson.
Russell took a deep breath and said coldly to Yolanda, âIâll sleep alone tonight. You sleep in the guest room! Get the servants to send the food to my room. I donât want to see you guys again todayâ
With that, he got up and walked upstairs, leaving Yolanda and Mabel with a cold back view.
Mabelâs eyes were filled with tears. She was extremely flustered. She pulled Yolandaâs sleeve and asked, âMom, what happened today? Why is he so biased towards Melody, that wretched girl? Could it be that he cares more about Melody now and not me?
Yolanda also wanted to know the reason. If it was in the past, Russell would become angry and want to catch Melody and beat her up.
She didnât know what was going on that day,
After thinking about it, Yolanda said. âDonât worry, you donât know your father well enough. He just likes to talk pompously and suddenly wants to establish the image of a good father. Once his interests are involved, he will immediately forget everything he said today.â
Mabel asked, âBut why didnât he believe a word we said today?â
Yolanda smiled coldly and said, âIt must be because Troy is busy fishing Pamela out and doesnât have time to deal with the Justalion Group and Melody. When Troy is done with Pamela, your father will naturally know that what we said today is for his own good.â
Mabel held her painful cheek and asked, âThen what should we do now?â
âWaitâ Yolanda narrowed her eyes and said, âWhen Troy is done with his work and comes back to find trouble with Melody, we will need to do a lot of things by then. Your father will naturally teach her a lesson. The trouble she caused this time is different from before. It directly affects your fatherâs interests. Your father might be so angry that he will directly kick Melody out.â
When Mabel heard this, she felt a little better. Even her face did not seem to hurt as much
However, when she thought of Russellâs expression and tone just now, she still felt a little uneasy. She felt like she was about to fall out of favor.
However, there was really nothing she could do now. The only thing she could do was wait for Troy to cause trouble.
1/2
Yolanda thought of Pamela and said, âGo and visit Pamela tomorrow morning. Although Troyâs attack on Melody is a good thing for us, we canât really lose our source of income. You have to build a good relationship with Pamela. When the time comes, she will naturally remind her father to be careful with dealing with our company.â
âAlright!â Mabel immediately agreed.
At Leit Bar, Janet waited for a while and finally received the news. âSomeoneâs here. He said heâs looking for youâ
Janet nodded and gave the man a look. Then, she pretended to be drunk.
The man immediately understood and grabbed Janetâs collar. âLooks like your family wonât come. In that case, since youâre quite goodâlooking. compensate my clothes with your body!â
As the man spoke, he leaned over and pressed himself against Janet.
His voice and movements were very loud and even in the noisy bar, it was very eyeâcatching.
The manâs acting skills were extraordinary. He chuckled and said, âLiule girl, your figure is not bad! If you are with me, I will definitely not treat you badly!â
With that, he boldly reached for Janetâs waist and slowly slid his hand up.
In the nick of time, a low shout rang out âStop!â
Before the man could react, he was forcefully pulled away by a large hand and thrown more than six feet away.
When Janet heard the commotion, her eyelids trembled slightly, She did not open her eyes, but she knew that it must be Ken
She thought, The timing is just right! God is really helping mel
In the next second, she felt the world spin as she was picked up horizontally.
The smell of male hormones spread to the tip of her nose.
Janetâs heart instantly raced.
She had never been so close to Ken to be able to smell his scent.
At the thought of this, Janet could not help but take a deep breath greedily and bury her face in the manâs chest
