Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

The call was quickly picked up 

Melody knew he might be busy, so she did not waste any time and went straight to the point. “I met assassins today. The deputy director of Silverlake Hospital hired them to do it” 

Ken’s voice came through the phone. “Where are you? Are you hurt?” 

Melody seemed to hear nervousness in his voice. 

She couldn’t help but wonder, Does he care about me? No, he must be afraid that Margaret will be sad if something happens. 

to me 

Melody stopped letting her imagination run wild and replied, “I’m fine. I’m at the entrance of Silverlake Hospital now. I originally wanted to settle scores with the deputy director, but I only found out when I arrived that the deputy director had been fired” 

Ken said seriously over the phone, “Don’t run around now, Stand in a crowded place in the hospital and wait. I’ll pick you up 

now. 

“Okay…” Melody replied. For some reason, when she heard Ken’s voice, she felt more at ease. 

On the other side. 

Mabel’s heart ached as she put the bank card into her pocket at the socialite training class’s gate. 

This was her first time going to the black market. She was terrified when she went. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. She even hired the most expensive assassin and almost used up all the pocket money she had saved over the past few years. 

But she felt it was worth it. As long as Melody disappears, not to mention spending my pocket money, it is worth it even if I need to borrow money from others. 

Mabel raised her head and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky. She felt so happy. 

When she returned home after class, she would probably receive the good news that Melody was dead. 

At the thought of this, Mabel’s mood became even better. She hummed along the way to the training class Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

When she pushed open the door of the training class, she realized that the etiquette teacher was already introducing today’s guest to the other socialites. 

This guest was none other than Janet. 

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the etiquette teacher and Janet looked at Mabel synchronously, 

The etiquette teacher looked displeased, but when she saw it was Mabel, she put away her dark expression. 

Mabel was the top socialite in Silverlake last year and her favorite student. Hence, the etiquette teacher did not flare up on the spot and only asked, “Mabel, why are you here so late?” 

Mabel quickly apologized and explained, Tm sorry. Something happened at home. As you know, my sister just returned from the countryside. She doesn’t understand many things, so I was delayed and accidentally arrived late. I’m sorry! I promise it won’t happen again.” 

At the mention of Melody, the etiquette teacher could not help but frown in disdain.

She had already heard a lot about Melody from these socialites. It was said that she was 

However, 

shockingly ugly. 

not only was she ugly, but she was also uncourteous and rude. She often bullied Mabel. 

If such a girl came to her class, she would chase her out immediately. 

“Go in and take a seat. The etiquette teacher nodded sympathetically. Then, she did not forget to remind her, “I know you’ve always been a kind girl, but you still have to prioritize what’s more important. Try your best to let the maids take care of your sister. You don’t have to do it for her all the time. Otherwise, she’ll only drag you down. Do you understand?” 

Mabel pretended to be troubled and nodded. Then, she nodded at Janet and sat down obediently. 

However, Janet was puzzled as she raised her eyebrows, thinking. A sister who has just returned from the countryside? Why does it sound so much like Melody?‘ 

Just as she wondered if it was a coincidence, Janet heard the etiquette teacher say, “Janet, don’t mind her. Mabel didn’t mean to be late. She’s also pitiful. She has a sister from the countryside called Melody. Recently, because of that sister, she has a lot of things to do at home…. 

Hearing this, the corners of Jane’s lips curled up in amusement. It’s indeed Melody! What a coincidence! 

She looked at Mabel appraisingly and realized that the sisters were worlds apart 

‘One of them has an elegant posture. Although her looks can not compare to mine, she is already considered top–notch among the socialites in Silverlake. As for the other, well Janet thought in disgust. 

However, Janet soon realized that something was wrong. 

She could tell Mabel… was pretending to be a victim. 

The relationship between the sisters must be bad. If that’s the case.. it’ll be interesting. With that in mind, Janet looked away and introduced herself again. She also cooperated with the etiquette teacher to give the socialites a nonchalant etiquette lesson. Throughout the entire process, she observed Mabel from time to time. 

As expected, she realized Mabel was not a kind girl like the etiquette teacher had said. 

On the contrary, Mabel was scheming. 

This further proved that the sisters were not on good terms. 

If the sisters were close, why would Mabel mention that Melody Came from the countryside? 

This was clearly to deepen everyone’s bad impression of Melody 

Janet smirked coldly. Then, a plan quickly flashed through her mind. 

Soon, the class ended. Just as she was about to find an opportunity to talk to Mabel alone, Janet saw Mabel coming up with two cups of coffee. 

“Ms. Murphy, I went to buy coffee just now. Do you want one?” Mabel asked. 

Thank you. I was just about to get a cup of coffee. After a pause, Janet said, “I heard that the scenery on the top floor here is good. Do you want to go take a look together?” 

“Sure!” Mabel was overjoyed. 

She had been worried that she would not have the chance to get close to Janet Now, her chance had come!

။ 

Mos Murphy not that dificult to get close to. Il definitely “take her down” soon! Mabel thought confidently. 

Mabel and Janet had different thoughts. They quickly arrived at the top floor. 

This building had a total of 35 floors. Standing on this tall building, everything below became small. 

anet looked into the distance and sighed. “I haven’t been back to Silverlake for a long time. The changes here are greater than I imagined” 

“Are you from Silverlake?” Mabel was surprised. She said. “I heard from our etiquette teacher that you’re from Instermond” 

Janet smiled “My father is from Insterimond, but my mother is from Silverlake. I stayed here for a while when I was young. 

1 see Mabel understood. Then, she smiled and said. “Ms. Murphy, I don’t know why, but when I first saw you, I felt that we hit it off very well. You haven’t been back to Silverlake for a long time. So, you might be unfamiliar with many places here. If you don’t mind. I can be your guide.” 

“That would be great. Im just afraid of troubling you,” said Janet, 

“It’s not troublesome!” Mabel quickly said. “It’s summer vacation now. The school hasn’t started yet. I have a lot of time every 

I see. Then I’ll ask you out when I have time. Then, Janet looked like she had thought of something and said, “In a few days, one of my mom’s friends will be celebrating her fiftieth birthday. She’s holding a birthday party. You can come with me then. Oh right, remember to bring your sister along. From your tone, you two seem to be on good terms. Didn’t she come back from the countryside? I can teach her some etiquette by then 

When Mabel heard this, her expression could not help but stiffen 

She did not want to bring Melody along to socialize! 

However. Mabel thought again. The assassin I hired might have succeeded by now. When the time comes, I can’t bring a dead person to a birthday party, can I 

At the thought of this. Mabel smiled and agreed. “Okay, I’ll bring my sister along”
