Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Melody shrugged and said calmly. “There’s no need to apologize It’s not worth much. I still have other things to do. Since Ken’s here, let’s explain it clearly so you won’t waste my time in the future.” 

She gritted her teeth. Melody’s attitude was too arrogant. She had never been treated like this before. 

Janet was so angry that she trebled. However, she calmed down then and sneered in her heart. Could it be that when Melody saw Ken asking me to apologize, she thought Ken was on her side? Based on my understanding of Ken, Ken was just too straightforward, so much so that he dealt with everyone’s matters impartially. 

Janet believed that if the person who faked the fall were Melody, he would also make Melody apologize. 

However, after Melody’s reminder. Janet finally remembered her main purpose for calling Ken over. 

“Ken Janet immediately perked up and said. “I called you here because Miss Fox tried to break into the Silverlake Building and deceive the people at the counter” 

Melody crossed her arms and said with a faint smile. Trying to break into the Silverlake Building? Miss Murphy, if I’m not mistaken, the Silverlake Building should be a shopping mall. The shopping mall is open to customers. Don’t you think you’re using the wrong word when you say I broke into it?” 

Using the wrong word! If I remember correctly. Melody’s academic qualifications are only in junior college. I’m an outstanding graduate from a first–rate international university. In terms of understanding of vocabulary, Melody is not qualified to compare to me. Janet glanced at Melody in disdain and said. Do you not know if I used the wrong words?” 

Ken looked at Janet and then at Melody. He frowned and asked, “Why did you call me here?” 

Janet pointed at Melody and said, “She didn’t buy any luxury goods from Silverlake Building, but she insisted on going in to return the goods. Ken, you know that the rule of Silverlake Building is that once the goods are sold, they can’t be returned. Yet, she wants to go in and return the goods. Isn’t she lying with the goal of extortion?” 

Janet was sure that Melody had never come to Silverlake Building to shop because she had specially sent someone to investigate just in case when she was waiting for Ken 

Indeed, there was no record of Melody purchasing anything from Silverlake Building, so Janet was sure Melody was trying, to gain something from nothing. 

After saying that, Janet questioned Melody, “Even if you shopped inside and plan to return the goods, show me the receipt when you bought them.” 

After Ken heard Jane’s explanation, he roughly understood what happened. 

Melody had specially called him to ask for a receipt in the morning. So, she wants to refund the gifts I chose for her. Is money that important to her? What exactly does she need money for? Ken wondered. 

Out of curiosity, Ken also wanted to see how Melody would respond. Therefore, he did not speak and only stood silently at 

the side. 

Melody originally planned to wait for Ken to explain to help her but when she saw that he was silent and looked like he was watching a good show, she could not help but curl her lips, thinking, ‘Stupid man! Is it so difficult to explain to help me?” 

Melody was also a little angry after being delayed for so long. 

She looked coldly at Janet with her gloomy eyes. Then, the corners of her lips curled up and she slowly said, “What if I had indeed bought these two bags from Silverlake Building?” 

Janet snorted from the tip of her nose. “If I’m in the wrong, I can get down on my knees and apologize to you. Is that okay?”

the blurted out 

Other than kneeling in the family’s ancestral hall, she had never knelt to anyone. 

Moreover, she had already checked the purchase records. She was sure she was not mistaken. 

Tik get down on your knees. Melody looked Janet up and down before her gaze landed on her smooth knees. “Such beautiful knees. What a pity” 

Janet glared at her. “I can’t be wrong, so I don’t need to get down on my knees to you! On the other hand, if you came intending to extort and lie. I’ll send you to the police station immediately and not spare you for anyone’s sake.” 

This “anyone referred to Ken 

“Is that so. Melody deliberately dragged out the word. 

Her interested expression made Janet panic. 

Could it be that… Had I made a mistake! But how was that possible? Even if I was wrong, the person in charge of checking the purchase records in the building couldn’t. Melody must be pretending to be calm and wanted me to retreat first. Thinking of this possibility, Janet sneered and said, Talking so much is a waste of time. Prove you bought your bags in our building. Smce you bought it, there should be a shopping receipt, right? Where are the receipts?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Melody shrugged. “I don’t have a receipt 

Janet was overjoyed. I knew it 

Then, she talked to Ren, “Ken, I told you. She’s just a ” 

Before Janet could finish her sentence, Melody said again. “But someone has a receipt. 

Janet’s voice paused, and a bad feeling arose in her heart. 

In the next second. Melody looked at Ken and said. “Hey, why aren’t you saying anything? How long are you going to hold it in 

Janet was confused. She asked Ken. “Ken, what does she mean?” 

Ken narrowed his eyes. 

It was undeniable that Melody’s tenacity and personality that would never let herself suffer were very similar to his 

Een turned to look at Janet and said calmly, “Janet, you’ve misunderstood. She’s not a liar and didn’t come to deceive you. Those two bags did come from the counter in the Silverlake Building” 

“But. But she doesn’t even have a shopping receipt.” Janet refused to give up. 

“That’s because I bought them” said Ken calmly. 

Janet suddenly widened her eyes. “What did you say?” 

Een repeated patiently. “I bought those two bags as a thank–you gift for curing my grandmother. So you misunderstood.” 

Jane’s mind instantly went blank. 

She never expected that the two bags were from the Silverlake Building. Moreover, Ken gave them to Melody! 

Janes would not have called Ken over if she had known this would happen. 

Janet’s expression alternated between angry and awkward, and her clenched fists were slightly pale.

When Melody saw this, she said with a half–smile, “Miss Murphy since the matter has been clarified, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise. Choose for yourself. Do you want to get down on your knees and apologize to me here, or….. private place? You can choose” 

Janet’s expression was very dark. 

No matter where she chose, as long as Ken knew about this, she would be embarrassed. 

Embarrassing herself in front of the person she cared about the most was worse than killing her. 

“That’s impossible!” Janet gritted her teeth and said, “It’s just a misunderstanding. Aren’t you going too far to make me kneel and apologize?” 

“Going too far?” Melody sneered. “I’ll be sent to the police station for detention if we don’t clear up today’s misunderstanding. Don’t you think detention is more overboard than that?”
