Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Melody coldly glanced at Yolanda, whose face looked unsightly, then turned to Russell and said, “Dad, I haven’t used a single penny for these fifteen houses. All this money came from gifts Mr. Swanson gave me as tokens of appreciation, many of which I couldn’t use. After consulting with Mr. Swanson. I sold many of the gifts he gave me, and that’s where this money came from. If you don’t believe me, Mr. Swanson is here: you can ask him yourself if this is true,” 

Russell, not caring about the source of the money, joyously exclaimed, “My dear daughter, what’s there to question: 1 definitely believe you!” 

Melody smiled sarcastically. 

She had previously been certain that the houses in Eastern Garden would skyrocket in value because she knew the Olympic main venue would be built nearby. 

Today, when Russell returned, the news about the main venue was announced, and coincidentally, Errol came directly to thank her. 

It could be said that she had the right time, place, and people today. 

The heavens were helping her. 

However, this matter would not end so easily. 

Melody raised her eyebrows. “It’s beat if you believe me. However, Yolanda’s card is missing 4 million dollars for no reason. This is not a small matter. It’s best to find out 

Ken said unhurriedly. “What a coincidence. The Swanson Group owns a bank, and we have a good relationship with other banks. If you want to check the accounts, I can just make a call” 

Mabel, who had been silent, spoke with a panicked expression. “Let’s not trouble Mr. Swanson. It’s already late today, and this is a family matter. We’ll investigate it tomorrow. Perhaps Mom remembered incorrectly… Let’s not let this misunderstanding linger.” 

Yolanda looked at Mabel in confusion. 

She was sure she hadn’t made a mistake and had even gone to the bank to check. Indeed, 4 million dollars had been withdrawn. 

Mabel’s reaction gave Yolanda a bad feeling. 

She instinctively wanted to follow Mabel’s words, but Ken had already dialed a number. While waiting for the other end to pick up, he said, “Is it just a misunderstanding? We’ll find out with a quick check. Don’t worry, it’s just a matter of a phone call. I don’t find it troublesome.” 

Russell also felt it best to clarify the matter of the 4 million dollars. He quickly thanked Mr. Swanson, saying. Thank you very much, Mr. Swanson Sorry to trouble you…” 

Ken nodded and coincidentally, the call connected. He briefly explained the situation and then asked Yolanda, “What is your card number?” 

“Um…” Yolanda glanced at Mabel, who appeared on the verge of tears. 

She immediately concluded that Mabel had taken the 4 million dollars. 

For a moment, Yolanda panicked as well 

However, under the pressure of Russell, she could only take out her bank card. 

With the card number provided, the bank quickly accessed the records, and a video recording was promptly sent over. 

Ken casually glanced at the video and then smirked, glancing towards Mabel C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“How interesting…” 

Mabel’s body trembled, and her face turned pale. 

She knew it was over, 

Russell didn’t understand why Ken said that. He quickly stepped forward to take a look. 

When he watched the video and saw Mabel repeatedly withdrawing money from the ATM until she almost filled a sack with cash before leaving. Russell’s face turned ashen with shock and disbelief. 

He borrowed Ken’s phone and showed it in front of Yolanda. “Take a look for yourself!”

Maria could not sit still anymore. With Hattie’s help, she stood up and went forward to check the video. 

After watching the video, her expression did not look any better than Russell’s. 

“Mabell” Maria said angrily and disappointedly, “You were the one who withdrew the money. Why didn’t you say anything after the matter blew up for so long? Are you just going to watch your sister be suspected and slapped? What are you thinking!” 

Maria was truly disappointed. Despite not being close to Mabel all along, she still cared for her 

But, Mabel’s behavior today made her completely lose her sympathy for her. 

Mabel’s shoulders trembled from the scolding. She was not as mentally prepared as Melody. She immediately cried out in fear, calling out to 

Yolanda, “Mom… 

Yolanda hesitated, feeling frustrated but unable to blame her daughter. She forced herself to speak up. “Russell, this is all a misunderstanding. I didn’t clarify things properly. Mabel is usually very social and spends a lot: She might have forgotten to tell me. As for why she didn’t speak up carlier, she must have been scared. You know she’s timid..” 

Russell had pinned most of his hopes on Mabel marrying into the Swanson family. Despite disliking Mabel’s actions, he didn’t blame her too much. 

Just as they were about to brush this matter off, Ken spoke indifferently. Timid? Huh. Mrs. Fox, being timid is one thing, but allowing Melody to be accused and scolded for something Mabel did seems quite different, doesn’t in?” 

Upon hearing Ken’s words, Russell found himself unable to let it go. 

“Mr. Swanson, 1 will educate my daughter severely and make things clear 

her 

Ken raised his right eyebrow and said. Indeed, we should educate her severely. The news of her taking Mr. Lawrence’s bracelet has spread like wildfire. At that time, I didn’t believe that she could do such a thing, so I specially sent someone to investigate in secret. I didn’t expect that it was really her who took the bracelet. Not only that, she even slandered Melody by putting it on her and exposing it in public. If we don’t educate such a daughter, I’m afraid she’ll be in trouble in the future” 

Russell was taken aback 

He had no idea what happened after that. 

“You two!” Russell grinted his teeth. Are you treating me like a Fool?” 

Yolanda and Mabel were both shocked, but under Ken’s pressure, they did not dare to directly refute. Yolanda said. “Russell, it’s all a misunderstanding. Mabel didn’t steal anything She found the bracelet 

“Shut up! I don’t want to hear any more excuses! From today onwards, both of you better reflect on your actions! If you don’t reflect properly. I bet you’ll receive severe consequences!” 

Melody sneered inwardly. 

In such a huge scandal, if it were on herself, her father would be “wishing to strangle” her, but for her mother and sister, it’s just a light and fluffy “reflection“. 

He was such a good father. 

She felt like applauding for Russell. 

Russell did not notice Melody’s gaze. He only said to Ken awkwardly, “Mr. Swanson, 1 apologize for today’s embarrassment. I’ll definitely educate my wife and daughter. Please don’t tell anyone about what happened today…” 

“Don’t worry” Ken shrugged and said, “Melody is the Swanson family’s benefactor. For her sake, I won’t say a word about today’s incident to anyone.” 

Russell heaved a sigh of relief and gave Melody a grateful look. 

He had thought that his daughter was a piece of rubble, but he did not expect her to be a pearl. 

He would never hit or scold Melody so easily in the future. 

However, in the next moment, Ken said mockingly. “But for a mere 4 million dollars, you actually hit your daughter. It truly opens my eyes…”
