However, at that moment, Maria opened her eyes and said weakly. “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired.”

As she spoke, Maria weakly closed her eyes again.

Russell knew there was no major issue anymore and immediately let out a sigh of relief, instructing several strong servants. to help Maria into her wheelchair and push her back to her room.

Melody instinctively wanted to follow but was stopped by Mabel

“Grandma is like this because she was angered by you! You better not appear in front of Grandma!”

Yolanda felt the same way, signaling to Russell with her eyes.

Russell immediately spoke up. “Guards! Lock her up in the backyard garage!”

The backyard garage had been abandoned for a long time, hadn’t been cleaned up for ages, and was filled with all kinds of clutter. Even the light was broken, flickering ominously, which was quite frightening.

Yolanda heard this and slightly curled her lips.

She had accidentally gone in once and found it particularly eerie because that place was where Melody’s biological mother’s body had been kept for seven days after her death.

That place was not even the servants wanted to enter, which was also the reason why it hadn’t been cleaned for so long. Now that Russell said he was going to lock Melody in there, it meant he had completely given up on Melody.

This was a good thing. It wouldn’t be long before she could drive Melody away.

No matter how much Maria defended Melody, for how long could she do so? The amount of mercury sulfide she had added to Maria’s medicine had been increased. According to the toxicity, Maria wouldn’t live more than two months at most.

However, what Yolanda was most afraid of now was that Melody’s treatment of Margaret would implicate the entire Fox family. If it really came to that, she could only divorce Russell and leave with Mabel.

Thinking back, she had worked so hard to marry into the Fox family, and now to leave, she was very reluctant.

She just hoped that Melody’s matter would not implicate her and her daughter.

Yolanda was scheming in her heart.

And the servants, hearing Russell’s order, were all hesitant to step forward for a while.

Firstly Melody was, after all, a young lady of the Fox family, and secondly, no one wouldn’t be terrified to go into that Elony place

If thing werd wrong they couldn’t bear the responsibility.

Sering this, Ransell became furious instantly. “What! Now my words are useless?”

As soon as he spoke, the servants who had been hesitating had no choice but to step forward “Miss Fas, please come with us

Melody kdy glared at the seats, who were startled and rainctively drank back

Melody didn’t look at them anymore but turned to Russell to confirm it. “Are you

It was rest that she was bragging but Russell probably could not bear the consequences of locking her up.

Hearing the time of Melody’s voice, Russell wanted to hit her again.

But before he could reach out, Melody spoke up on her own. “No need for them to take me, I’ll go by myself!

With that, she strode toward the abandoned garage in the backyard.

Russell gnashed his teeth in anger, but Maria’s condition wasn’t very good yet, and he couldn’t afford to discipline Melody. so he went to check on Maria first

Mabel held back Yolanda, who was about to follow, and asked in a low voice, “Mom, with Melody locked up, will she still affect our family!”

Yolanda frowned and comforted. “Don’t worry. She won’t. The Swanson family, being in their current position, should be reasonable. Once Margaret dies, we’ll throw Melody and Maria under the bus. By that time, even if we are affected, we will recover quickly,”

The main business of the Swanson Group was real estate, while the main business of the Fox family was the Justalion Group left by Melody mother, Wilona and the headhunting company that Russell ran himself.

The Justalion Group mainly focused on fashion design, and that headhunting company was so small that it had fewer than ten employees. Neither of these companies was related to real estate, and for the Swanson Group to target them, they would

have to use connections

Yolanda thought that the Swanson family wouldn’t be so ruthless as to completely annihilate them. After all, Melody and Maria alone would be enough for them to vent their anger.

There was one more thing Yolanda didn’t mention.

That i…

If the Fox family really lost all its future due to this incident, she would leave with Mabel and the wealth she had accumulated over the years.

But she wouldnt do this unless it was absolutely necessary.

She just hoped that everything would go as she thought

“Then Mabel suddenly spoke up. “What if Melody really has medical skills and Margaret suddenly gets better

Thinking of this possibility made Mabel feel hesitant and uneasy, and this unease grew stronger with Melody’s question to Russell. “Are you really going to lock me up?”

However, Yolanda ineered at this.

“You’re overthinking. That’s absolutely impossible!”

Yolanda curled her lips, thinking of Wilmot, and said, “You’re having this thought because of the incident with Wilmot, right? Being able to perform first aid is not the same as having medical skills. Margaret is critically ill and hasn’t been out for almost a year, which gives you an idea of how severe her illness i Melody, without any self–awareness, dared to treat Margaret. How could you be confused as well!”

Mabel nodded, forcing herself to dismiss this thought.

Chapter 82

She had seen Melody quickly diagnose Wilmot’s son with pneurenthorax and then perform first aid, but her mother was

right

Being able to perform brst aid was not the same as having medical skills.

Moreover, if Margaret’s illness could be cured by just anyone, the Swanson family would have already called in famous doctors to cure her, and it wouldn’t have come down to Melody.

This was clearly an incurable disease that no one could treat

She was overthinking it.

Mabel took a deep breath, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.

“Alright, I’ll go see your grandma, and as for you, don’t you have a social dance class tonight? Get ready for your class.”

At the mention of social dance, Mabel couldn’t help but frown. As the last season’s top socialite of Silverlake, social dance was her weakest area.

She was well aware of her poor coordination and knew that no matter how much she practiced, she could never dance well. “Mom, with the situation at home, do I still have to attend class?”

She didn’t want to go learn dancing.

Yolanda’s face turned serious. “What nonsense are you talking about! Even if the sky falls, you must attend class. Only by improving yourself can you marry the person you want. Do you want to watch Melody snatch the man who belongs to you?”

“But isn’t Melody about to be finished?” Mabel muttered unhappily.

She felt that Ulric was already in her grasp, and marrying into the Swanson family was just a matter of time.

“That’s enough! You’re so stupid. Do you think Melody is your only competitor? If that were the case, it would be much easier to deal with

Yolanda paused, then added, “Last year, you were only a few points behind the second place, and your weakness was in dance. With this year’s top socialite event coming up soon, all the socialites of Silverlake are preparing for it, and you must study seriously!”

Mabel was not keen on going to class, but under Yolanda’s coercion and persuasion, she had no choice but to agree, nodding and going upstairs to prepare her dance attire.
