Chapter 88
Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 88
Hattie even thought it would be great if Melody stayed in the countryside and never came to Silverlake
In that case, the Fox family would not have faced such a crisis, and Maria would not have been sicker than before.
As Hatte spoke, she started to cry from anger. âItâs all Miss Melodyâs fault.â
âEnoughâ Maria interrupted Hattie unhappily. âDonât blame Melody. Sheâs just a child. If it werenât for me, she wouldnât have been given a chance to treat Margaretâs illness. So, itâs all because of me. It has nothing to do with her. She instructed. âDonât call Melody out for the Swanson familyâs visit.â
She said so because she wanted to protect Melody.
Hattie felt even worse. What time is it now? The Swanson family has already come to demand an explanation. Why are you still defending Miss Melody?â
âHattie! Enoughââ Mariaâs tone was serious.
She rarely spoke to Hattie like this. Hattie was shocked and did not dare to say anything else.
In any case, it had already happened, and there was no turning back.
Of course, Hattie did not want to say anything more. She did not want to tell Maria that Melody had not been reflecting in her mom for the past few days but had been locked in the garage
When she first heard the news, she hesitated whether to tell Maria, but her emotions got the better of reason. She had been hiding it from Maria until now.
When Maria arrived at the living room in her wheelchair, the doorbell rang
Yolanda was so frightened that her face turned pale and her lips trembled. She even told the maids not to open the door.
Maria sighed and instructed the butler, âGo and open the door. What will come will come. Just do as we said. Just push all the responsibility to me.â
The butler looked at Russell hesitantly.
Russell closed his eyes and did not look at Maria. He only said, âCo and open the door.â
He tacitly approved of Mariaâs plan.
When Maria saw this, her heart could not help but ache. She could not help but sigh inwardly.
Her son was good in all aspects, but she had never liked his selfish values.
However, at this point, now that she was already so old, she thought it was worth saving the Fox family with her own life.
Seeing this, the butler could only open the door with trembling legs.
He was afraid that he would be implicated, too.
As soon as the door opened, a tall man entered first
It was Ken
One could feel his powerful aura even without looking at his face.
Chapter 88
The butlerâs legs almost went weak and he fell to the ground. Fortunately, he held onto the shoe cabinet at the entrance to steady himself.
Russell paid no attention to the butler. He only saw Ramon following behind Ken.
Mr. Ramon has even come personally! It seems that Margaret has already passed away⦠Russell thought worriedly
Russell pinched his thigh hard and ined his best to remain calm.
âMr. Ramon, Mr. Ken, welcome âHe greeted them with a hoarse voice.
âMr. Fox, Ramon nodded slightly.
Just as he was about to speak. Russell hurriedly said, âMr. Ramon, itâs all our fault. Itâs all Melodyâs fault. She just returned from the countryside and didnât know the severity of the situation. She boasted that she wanted to treat Margaret. And now.. sheâs caused such a big trouble. Sheâs muddleâheaded! But donât worry. Iâve already locked her up. I havenât given her anything to eat for three to four days. Iâve let her reflect on herself. This can be considered an explanation for you.â
When Ramon heard this, his face was filled with disbelief. âYou youâ¦
He could not utter a word after saying âyouâ for a long time because it was too unexpected
When Russell saw Ramonâs reaction, he thought Ramon wasnât satisfied enough, so he hurriedly added, âIf you still think itâs not enough. Iâll bring her out now and beat her up in front of you. If you still canât vent your anger, take her away and punish her however you want. We definitely wonât blame you!â
Ramon widened his eyes. âRussell you. Youâre tooâ¦
He searched for a long time but could not find a suitable adjective.
As for Ken, he even felt that there was something wrong with his ears.
Maria was the first to react. She stood up p with both hands on the wheelchair and asked, âHow many days did you say youâve made Melody hungry?â
Russell frowned and looked at Maria. âMom, Iâll be frank with you since things have come to this! I didnât lock her in the room for the past few days. Instead, I locked her in Wilonaâs mortuary, However, she brought this on herself. Sheâs already an adult. When an adult makes a mistake, they have to pay the price. This is the price she deserves!â
âYou you⦠How could you do this? Sheâs your biological daughter! Maria said sternly, but because of her poor health, she started to cough violently after cursing.
Russell ignored Maria. At this moment, he couldnât be bothered with her either. He turned around and said to Ramon, âMr. Ramon, youâve seen our familyâs sincerity. Please donât implicate our entire family because of Melody!â
Yolanda finally regained a trace of calmness from her extreme panic. She stepped forward and bowed to Ramonâ¦
âMr. Ramon, itâs all Melodyâs fault. It was Melody who caused Mrs. Margaret to die. It has nothing to do with us! Please be lenient and let the rest of our family off!â As soon as Yolanda finished speaking, someone suddenly entered the room.
Yolanda and Russell subconsciously looked out. They thought it was Astrid. However, they didnât expect it to be Margaret.
Before she entered, Margaret felt that this dress was too colorful Therefore, she returned to the car and changed into plain clothes with her private maid,
When she heard this at the door, she stopped and widened her eyes in disbelief.
Yolanda and Russell were more shocked than her. Yolanda was stunned for two seconds. Then, she suddenly screamed and hugged Russellâs leg. âOh! Ghost! A ghost!â
Chapter 58
She thought Margaret had become a ghost after her death and was here to settle scores with them!
Margaretâs expression darkened and she looked gloomy
After a long time, she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth. âWho⦠Who are you calling a ghost
âMom Ramon hurriedly went forward to support Margaret. He glared at Yolanda with a dark expression and scolded angrily. âWhat nonsense are you talking about? My mother is fine. Who are you calling a ghost?â
Ramonâs angry rebuke snapped Yolanda and Russell back to their senses synchronously, but they looked even more shocked
than before.
Whatâs going on? The two of them looked at each other, their minds filled with countless question marks. Wasnât it because Margaret was dead because of Melodyâs treatment that the Swanson family came to demand an explanation? Why did Ramon say that Margaret wasnât a ghost?â
Russell, who was highly educated, quickly realized that Margaret was not a ghost. She was not dead.
Not only was she not dead, but she was also standing here and coming to their house nimbly.
But what is going on? Russell was confused.
