CHAPTER 242
Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 242
The first thing she saw when she opened the email was the words âSt. Martinâs Highâend Costume Design Training College.
At first, Melody thought that James had sent the wrong email. After patiently reading it, she realized that the fashion design company Troy went to was the partner of this academy.
Designers who graduated from St. Martinâs College had to come to this college for an internship for a month. Only by passing the internship could they obtain the designer certificate St. Martinâs College issued.
St. Martinâs Collegeâs influence in Silverlake was not small. Many designers in the fashion design industry studied at this college.
Both the Justalion Group and the Clark
Clark Group lad
sad designers who graduated there.
But what was Troy doing here? Was he only trying to recruit people from this company? Melody wondered. âHowever, if it was just recruitment, Troyâs smile when he came out of this company could not be so confident, as if he had something on me.â
Melody also searched for St. Martinâs College on the Internet and was surprised to find that Pamela and Mabel were both graduates of St. Martinâs College
the connection? Melody thought for a moment but could not find an answer now.
She looked at the time. There were still nearly three hours before midnight. She had not slept well last night, so she lay down to catch up on her sleep.
Not long after, the alarm clock rang
Melody was a light sleeper. She opened her eyes immediately, put on her clothes, and went out.
Going out now would attract attention, so Melody directly climbed over the wall from the backyard
She had taken the time to work out recently, and her stamina improved. Although she was weaker than in her previous life, climbing a wall of six feet was a piece of cake for her.
With little effort, she flipped over and took a taxi to the customs warehouse wearing a mask.
On the way, she deliberately did not contact the person on the forum first. Instead, she quietly walked around the customs warehouse. After confirming that there was no danger, she contacted the person.
âHello?â The hoarse voice of a middleâaged man came from the other end. It was obvious that the other party was an old urnoker.
âItâs me. The guy who posted the bounty on the black market, Melody said.
âOhâ¦â The other party dragged out his words and said, Tm at a nearby hotel. You can wait for me at the entrance of the warehouse. The person on duty is my man. Tell him youâre looking for me, and heâll bring you in. Oh right, my last name is Lawrence, Just tell him so, and Iâll be right thereâ
After that, a womanâs charming voice came from the other end. âBen, whoâs looking for you in the middle of the nightâ
âBusinessâ¦â The person on the other end of the line hung up
Melody beard the womanâs
womanâs words.
She couldnât help but ponder, His last name is Lawrence And Ben!
A name immediately appeared in her mind, Benny Lawrence!
The device I want to buy is from Benny, the brother of Bobby whom I had offended? At this moment, Melody did not know if she should be happy or worried.
However, she could not successfully develop a new product in seven days if she didnât have the equipment
After thinking about it, Melody gritted her teeth and walked toward the warehouse resolutely.
I can only pray that Benny does not know Iâm the one who caused Bobbyâs imprisonment. With this thought in mind, she had already arrived at the warehouseâs entrance.
There were two people in white uniforms guarding the door. When they saw her coming, they immediately went forward and warned. âCustoms warehouse. No one is allowed to approachâ
Melody smiled and said, âIâm Mr. Lawrenceâs guestâ
When the two of them heard this, they immediately smiled. âSo youâre Benâs guest. Please come in. Iâll take you to the reception room insideâ
11:34 AM â« ÉD
Chapter 242
Melody modded and silently followed one of them into the warehouse.
There were guards everywhere in the warehouse, but everyone was continued to play with their phones.
was very sloppy When they saw her coming, they didnât even look up
and
âMiss, this way please. The other party pointed to a frosted door and introduced, âThis is the reception room. Wait for Ben here. He should be here
âOkayâ Melody nodded and entered the living room.
Not long after Melody sat down, she heard a voice coming from outside. âBen, youâre here? The guests are already hereâ
âYeah, the voice on the phone said.
The next second, a middleâaged man with a big belly entered the room.
Melody recognized this person at a glance. It was indeed Benny. He looked 70% to 80% similar to Bobby. Even the skin on their faces was the same. They had dense pimples.
doctor, the knew at a glance that this was acne caused by longâterm indulgence, coupled with lack of sleep, drinking, and smoking.
âHello, Mr. Lawrence Melody stood up and greeted him without batting an eyelid. âIâm here to buy the instrument I want.â
Benny sat on the sofa and gestured for his subordinates to make coffee for her before getting down to business. âI do have this instrument here, but the price.. I wonder how much you can accept.â
Melody said calmly, âNare your price. The market price of this instrument is about 50 to 100 thousand dollarsâ¦â
âHow about this!â Benny flicked his cigarette ash and said, âThisds our first time doing business, so letâs treat it as making friends. Just 30 thousand dollars will do!â
Melodyâs expression did not change, but she instantly understood.
âThe market price of this instrument is about 240 thousand dollars, but he is willing to sell it to me at 80 thousand dollars. He must know nothing about it, or itâs not something he obtained illegally and was in a hurry to sell. But whatever the reason is, itâs a good thing for me Melody pretended to be grateful and stood up. âThank you, Mr. Lawrence.â
âYouâre welcome. Someone, bring over the instrument that this lady wants,â Benny said..
The instrument arrived very quickly. They did not even open the packaging.
Melody paid and was about to leave with the instrument when she suddenly remembered that the herbs she needed were also detained there. She said. âSince Mr. Lawrence is so straightforward, I want to do another business with you.â
Benny was greedy: Hearing this, his smile deepened. âSure, what else do you need! Iâll sell them to you as long as I have them here! And the price will be low.â
âItâs not an instrument.â Melody paused and said, âI need a berb. I was going to buy it, but I heard the sale of this herb is not allowed in the country. It got demained
Benny recalled that he had detained a batch of herbs a few days ago and asked, âWhat herbs do you need?â
âUvigrassâ Melody reported the name of the herb.
Benny glanced over and his subordinate immediately said, Iâll look for it now.â
Benny raised the cup in his hand. âPlease have some coffee. Iâll get it for you soon.
Melody nodded and took a symbolic sip of coffee. She did not swallow it and smiled. âGood coffee!â
âBenny didnât seem to know about my relationship with Bobby, but I must be wary of others, Melody thought.
Benny said, âMiss, you have good taste! I only make this coffee when guests come. Itâs made of fine coffee beans,â
Melody was about to speak when someone came in to report. âBen, someone called Barclay Lawrence said he wanted to buy something from you Should we let him in
âLet him in! Heâs my nephewâinâlaw!â said Benny.
Melodyâs eyelicis ownched. âBarclay is Bennyâs nephewâinâlaw! That guy wanted to violate me in the Swanson familyâs residence, but I beat him up and sent him to the hospital. Now that he is here, wonât my identity be exposed!
Melodyâs heartbeat sped up uncontrollably. A bad feeling arose in her heart.
