CHAPTER 240
Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 240
Wilmer spread the tablet before Melody and pointed to the photo on the screen. âThatâs her.â
Melody lowered her eyes and looked over. The woman in the photo had an exquisite figure, was lazy and charming, and had a good appearance. Although she did not have the youthful aura of a young girl, her temperament was calm and elegant
Wilmot said, âGuess how old this woman is.â
Melody carefully observed the photo and said a number. âIn her thirties?â
âWrongâ Wilmot shook his head and said, âSheâs already in her fifties!â
Melodyâs eyes were filled with surprise. A person in her fifties can make herself look like she is only in her thirties. It could be seen how much this person cares about maintenance. Time has not let anyone off, but it sees it has let her off. However, if the other party is a person who knows pharmacology very well, it is not strange for her to maintain her appearance like thisâ
However, the more Melody looked at the woman in the photo, the more familiar she looked. It was as if she had seen this woman somewhere
before
She frowned slightly and said, âGo on
Wilmot hurriedly continued. âThis womanâs name is Jennie Taylor, Sheâs the younger sister of the Taylor familyâs current heir. However, for some
reason, she was expelled by the Taylor family more than ten years ago. Oh, right, she also has another identity. Sheâs the junior sister apprentice of Quentin Parker, the famous traditional doctor.âââ
Melodyâs eyelids twitched twice. She instantly remembered where she had seen this woman before.
When C
Quentin was cleaning the house with her in a year, she found a photo in the storeroom. The woman in the p photo was Jennie.
However, Quentin seemed to dislike Jennie very much. After seeing the photo, he immediately lit a fire and burned it.
She recalled what Quentin had said. This woman had betrayed her sect and violated traditional medicineâs principles. She had already been expelled from her sect and later died in an accident. Why is she here now? Was she faking her death, or was she revived because of some kind of fate like me? The more Melody thought about it, the more uneasy she fell
She took a photo of the woman on the tablet with her phone and asked solemnly, âOther than these, did you
find anything else!
Wilmot shook his head apologetically. âThatâs all I can find out. This woman is too mysterious. If I want to find out more about her, Iâm afraid I have to start with Leo or ask the Taylor family people,â
âOkay, I see,â Melody responded and calmed down to check Wilmots pulse.
His pulse was much more stable than during the day but was still weak.
âYou need to recuperate well. Donât investigate this thing about Jennie anymore. Resting is the most important thing for you now,â Melody said. âOkay, I knowâ Wilmot nodded and asked reluctantly, âAre you leavingââ
âYes.. Melody replied, I have an appointment tonight to buy laboratory equipment. I have to go
go to the customs warehouse.â
âDo you need my help? After Wilmot asked, he realized that there was nothing he could do to help. Helpless, he said, âTim sorry, I donât think I can help now.â
âItâs fine. Itâs a transaction of money and goods. There wonât be any problems,â said Melody,
Wilmot nodded, but an inexplicable sense of uneasiness rose in his heart. He could not help but remind Melody a few more times and asked her to share her position at any time. Only then did he feel relieved and let her go.
Melody left the hospital and stood at the crossroads in front of the hospital. Her eyes could not help but look a little lost.
There are still four hours to twelve. Where should I go in those four hours? She could not help but laugh at herself. There is no place I want to go in the huge Silverlake!
A trace of sadness flashed across her heart. Fortunately, she was no longer a sentimental person. She quickly regained her spirits and took a taxi back to the Fox family.
She hadnt gone home for a day and a nigl. TÃ I home now, n my family will probably explode, Melody thought.
However, it was put something new that her unily exploded because of her. She was already used to it
Half an hour later, ti

Chapter 240
Russell had been watching the news in the living room when Melody pushed the door open and entered. Yolanda was accompanying him nicely. looking humble.
Hearing the commotion, Russell turned to look at Melody.
Melody was already prepared to face the storm from Russell. However, surprisingly, Russellâs face revealed a fatherly amiable smile. âMelody, youâre back?
Melody was caught off guard by Russellâs attitude. She was not sure if this was the calm before the storm.
After hesitating for a moment, Melody took the initiative to apologize. âIâm sorry, Dad, about the Clark familyâ¦
Before she could finish her sentence, Russell interrupted her with a wave of his arm. âWhy are you bringing up that annoying thing? Also, youâre not the one at fault. Why are you apologizing?
Melody could not help but feel even more puzzled
She suddenly remembered that when she met Troy during the day, Troy had said, âI made such a big move to withdraw the order, but your father still defended you.â Millions of question marks appeared in her mind.
felt puzzled.
âRussell is not angry? What is going on? Has Russell changed? Probably because Melody looked too confused, Russell also felt p
He asked, âDidnât Mr. Swanson tell you that he had already made up for all the losses the Clark family had caused our family!â
âHuh?â Melody was stunned.
âNot only that, I have another good news for you! Swanson Universal Entertainment will soon terminate the collaboration with Troy. Mr. Swanson said he would leave this collaboration opportunity to the Justalion Group. My good daughter, youâre my baby! Youâve done a great job!â Russell said.
Melody finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that Ken had already arranged everything for her.
Something stirred in Melodyâs heart
Russell did not notice the change in her expression and continued, âOh right, why didnât you stay at your Margaretâs house for a few more days! You should rest for a few days after suffering such a huge shockâ
Melody did not say anything. She guessed it was the excuse Ken found for her because she didnât go home last night.
âHowever, he had already resolved the problem for me. Why did he still let me stay at his house? Melody could not understand this question no matter how she thought about it. She decided not to think about it anymore. She turned to look at Russell and said, âIm not used to living outside. Coupled with the fact that Iâm worried about Grandmaâs health, I came back.â
Russell looked at her with even more satisfaction. âYouâre indeed a good girl. Then go and see your grandmother quickly. I have to sleep early too. I have to release the news that we will collaborate with Swanson Universal Entertainment in the next few days. Iâll invest more and expand the production line. Otherwise, when massive orders come in, Iâm afraid the company wonât be able to handle it, Russell said and went upstairs happily.
In the living room, Yolanda looked at Melody with resentment.
Melody turned a blind eye and walked toward the backyard.
Just as she brushed past Yolanda, Yolanda suddenly said, âYou must be very proud of yourself, right?â
Melody stopped in her tracks and looked at Yolanda expressionlessly. I donât understand what you mean. Donât you feel happy that the company has a good opportunity?â
Yolanda pursed her lips and did not answer the question. She only warned coldly. âTroy will never let you go. You better not be happy too early! The higher you stand, the worse you will fall!â
âThank you for your reminder, Yolanda Melody smiled and did not stop
However, when she reached the backyard, the smile on her face quickly disappeared. âWhat Yolanda said this time is true. Troy will not let the matter rest. However, I can only be cautious before I know what the other party wants to do.
Melody had ja left the living room when Mabel returned home.
