Chapter 78
Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 78
Janetâs return this time was actually because her family had started urging her to get married.
With her approaching her twentyâsixth year and seeing that led single, her family didnât know that she and Ken had been partners for many years, and they couldnât help but worry
She was only twentyâfive and. Although she was a renowned
gher abroad, she couldnât escape the fate of being urged to marry
In fact, Janet decided to return to her home country largely because of Ken
Although in the eyes of the people of Silverlake, Ken was a son of the Swanson family who would definitely be abandoned, as his partner, she knew very well that soon Ken would be famous all over the world, and it was just a matter of time.
In her eyes, she and Ken were the only ones who were worthy of each other
Before she returned to her home country, she had already investigated that there were still no women around Ken
As for the girl in front of her?
Hey, forget it.
She believed that Kenâs taste was not that bad
Although she vaguely felt that this girlâs attitude toward Ken was very unusual, the womanâs ugly appearance made Janet not want to regard
such a woman as an imaginary enemy at all.
She saw Ken seemingly not hearing the girlâs impolite words, only raising his eyebrows and asking âMy friend and I are bored eating alone. If you donât mind, would you like to share the table?â
When Melody was about to refuse, she heard Wilmot smilingly say, âOf course, itâs my honor to eat with you, please?
The dining table was originally a fourâperson table. Ken sat next to Melody first, Janet could only sit next to Wilmot and looked at Ken with a
face full of resentment.
Listening to Kenâs wards just now, this man was just a stylist. Was it worth them coming over to share the table!
But Ken had already sat down and started to call the manager to bring their dishes here again, and she could only chat with Melody with a
faint smule.
âMiss Fox, I see that you have an extraordinary temperament. I wonder which family can cultivate their daughter with such a temperament as
your
Melody shrugged. âIâm not a daughter of a wealthy family, nor do I have any temperament. Iâm just an ordinary person who grew up in the
countryside since I was a child.â
Ken was slightly surprised
For any girl, growing up in the countryside should be a thorn in the heart, but Melody unhesitatingly exposed this thorn to everyone.
Was Melody really so silly that she didnât care, or did she have an extremely strong heart?
Across the table, Janet was quite surprised, but in an instant, this surprise turned into contempt
The woman was so ugly in appearance and with such a co
a common and lowly background, Janet really didnât even feel like tal

That was right. In der eyes, their two were just ordinary people who didnât need to have any interaction with thems at all wrowm
Ken didnât pay attenti to her at all, only asking the stylist next to her. âMr. Sherman, Edon I know how you The dinner today. Them mud be enough people waiting for you to stylish them to line up all the way argued welako turite
Wilmot maintained a proper smile. âNo matter how busy à p

âYou can call me Ken
âThen you can call me Wilmot

The two men looked at each other and nodded, seemingly very harmonious on the surface.
But only they, as men, knew how many stormy waves were under the seemingly calm take
Men, after all, could tell what the other was thinking just by looking into each otherâs e
But Wilmot never expected that a person ke Ken would also be interested in Melody
Was it because he had been with many pretty ladies and wanted to try new types, or was it just a manâs desire to win or lose?
No matter which point, Wilmot felt a bit disgusted
Emotion was the most precious thing and should not be seen as a game.
The sudden appearance of Ken and Janet made Melody, who was already not very hungry, even more tasteless.
She drank two glasses of water and finally couldnât help but speak. âMr. Sherman, I have to rush home later. How about I invite you to dinner another day?â
âOkay, I have to go back to the store. There are people from the show who want to talk about cooperation.â
Wilmot didnât want to have too much contact with people like Ken either, stood up and said goodbye to Ken âMr Swanson, please take your time. Weâll go first, and Iâll pay the bill today. Letâs consider it making a friendâ
Ken snorted lightly and said, âForget about the bill. I invested in this restaurant. If you donât mind, you can come and eat often in the future
Wilmot insisted on paying the bill but was stopped by Melody on the side. âThen thank you, Mr. Swanson, Mr. Sherman, letâs go.â Melody tilted her head, indicating that Wilmot should leave with her.
Wilmot hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and left the table,
âWait a moment.â Kenâs voice sounded again behind the two.
âWeâre almost done eating, and since M
Miss Foxâs home is on my way,
ay, Iâll take her home
Wilmot frowned and refused. âMr. Swanson, you are a busy man. Iâll take her home,
âMr. Sherman, you are too polite. Miss Fox is currently treating my grandma, and I also want to ask some medical questions on the way.â
The two went back and forth, and Janot listened nearby, pursing her lips tightly.

âI called the driver,â Ken said in one sentence, directly blocking Janetâs words.
Janetâs face changed, and her already cold aura became even colder.
What was going on with Ken?
Ken said it to this point, and Wilmot had to turn his gaze to Melody, hoping s she would make a decision herself
ââ¦â Melody paused, thinking about what might happen in the next few days, and still looked at Ken. âIâm sorry to trouble you
Wilmot was a bit surprised, but he didnât show any dissatisfaction, only smiling!

âThen be careful
Before Melody could speak, Ken took the lead âDonât worry, With me, Miss Fox will be fine. Mr. Sherman, you can go ahead and get busyâ
Wilmot smiled stiffly and said, âThen Iâll watch you get in the car before I leave,
The four people went out of the door together.
Wilmot and Melody walked faster, and Melody was about to say goodbye to Wilmat when she heard Wilmot say in a low voice, âYou may not know that Ken has a bad reputation since you just returned to Silverlake, I donât know how you got familiar with him, but remember to be wary of him. Heâs not a good person.â
Melody opened her mouth, subconsciously wanting to refute, but swallowed the words.
She knew that Wilmot said those for her own good.
But Ken⦠Although she was sure he was not a bad person, not everyone was like her, with the ability to know the future after being reborn, so she chose not to say anything. She just nodded slightly and said, âI know, thank you.â
