Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

The man rubbed the spot where he was hit in pain. Anger rose from his heart and he turned to glare at Melody angrily. “What are you doing!” 

Melody finally saw the man’s face. She shook her head expressionlessly. “Ryan, I remember that your desk is not here, right? What are you looking for in my cabinet? It’s not a good habit to steal 

Ryan felt a little guilty at first, but when he saw Melody’s attitude, he simply gave up and scolded, “I am not stealing. Don’t fucking slander me!” 

Melody frowned. Then may I ask why you went through my cabinet? © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Coincidentally, the employees had finished eating and returned one after another. Seeing this, they started to help Melody. 

An employee asked, “Mr. Fox, what did you take from Miss Fox! If you don’t hand it over, don’t blame us for calling the police. 

Another person said. “I really didn’t expect… you to be such a person. No, we should have noticed this long ago!” 

Everyone looked at Ryan as if he was a thief. 

Ryan could no longer maintain his dignity. His cheeks were red as he growled, “Shut up! I didn’t steal anything don’t care about her things!” 

Melody crossed her arms, determined to deal with Ryan. Then tell me, why were you rummaging through my cabinet? If you were not stealing, were you helping me clean the cabinet?” 

Someone could not help but laugh. 

A person urged, “Mr. Fox, don’t be stubborn now, Just hand it over obediently.” 

Ryan glared at that person fiercely. That colleague could not help but look away in panic. 

After all, Ryan was also related to their boss. If he really complained to the big boss, this employee might get fired. 

When Ryan saw that the person was silent, he raised his chin and retorted, “You said that I rummaged through your cabinet. Do you have evidence? Did anyone else see it? You clearly wanted to chase me out of the company long ago, so you deliberately made up a lie. If the rest of you believe her, you’re fools!” 

Ryan was very confident that when he went through the cabinet just now, only Melody saw it After all, it was a dishonorable thing to look through another’s cabinet, even if he did not find what he was looking for. As long as he refused to admit it, he felt that no one could say that he had searched Melody’s cabinet. 

When Melody heard Ryan’s words, he could not help but laugh mockingly. He narrowed his eyes and reminded, “Ryan, don’t forget that there are surveillance cameras in the office area, Just because others don’t see it doesn’t mean that the surveillance cameras can’t see it. My desk is facing a surveillance camera. Think about it before you speak.” 

However, to Melody’s surprise, Ryan’s expression did not change at all. “Alright, go check the surveillance cameras and let everyone see your true colors! As long as you’re not afraid that everyone will know that you’re slandering me, go and investigate!” 

Melody could not help but feel suspicious. 

She thought. Did Ryan tamper with the surveillance footage? 

She tilted her head and was about to go to the surveillance room to investigate when a young lady who was usually ordered around by Ryan volunteered, “I’ll help you investigate!”

Melody nodded. “Thank you” 

The young lady did not say anything else and went to the surveilance room. 

Not long after, the lady returned from the surveillance room. However, her expression was a little complicated. 

She said, “Miss Fox, the archive of the surveillance footage has been closed at some point. We can’t read today’s surveillance footage.” 

Melody had already guessed this outcome the moment she saw ber expression. She turned to look at Ryan coldly. “I was wondering why you dared to ask me to check the surveillance footage. 

Ryan shrugged and said fearlessly, “Congratulations, cousin. The surveillance camera happened to be broken. Your true colors will not be known by everyone for the time being. However, sooner or later, everyone will know that you’re not as innocent as you look.” 

As Ryan spoke, he pointed out the people who had called him a thief just now. After glancing at them one by one, he said, “The few of you have slandered me. Just wait to be fired! Also, I am going to sue all of you. See you in court!” 

As soon as he said this, the few people whose names were called trembled in fear. 

Especially the young lady who had taken the initiative to help Melody check the surveillance cameras. She was so frightened that her eyes turned red as if she could cry in the next second. 

Melody knew that the young lady had just graduated from university and could not withstand such a shock. 

-Ryan was still threatening people. “I’m reminding you out of kindness that the crime of defamation is a serious offense! If 

you know what’s good for you, apologize to me immediately. I might even be kind enough to forgive you” 

The young lady who had just graduated shivered and subconsciously wanted to go forward and apologize to Ryan. 

Seeing this, Melody grabbed her sleeve and said. “You don’t have to apologize to this kind of person 

The little girl’s name was Ali Conner. She bit her lower lip aggrievedly and pushed Melody’s hand away. “Miss Fox, I’m different from you. My family is very poor. My mother is still waiting for me to take this month’s salary back to treat Dad. So… please don’t stop me. 

As soon as Ali said this, the others could no longer Stand still. They all stepped forward and prepared to apologize to Ryan, 

They were all ordinary people and could not afford to be sued for defamation. Some began to complain about themselves and doubt Melody. 

A person said, “I’m really crazy. Why should I meddle in other people’s business? We end up being the ones sacrificed for the war between these two people.” 

Another person said, “This matter is indeed strange. Ryan is also related to the big boss. He can’t be so poor that he needs to steal things. I think we might have trusted the wrong person. Perhaps Melody really put on a show and acted this out to chase him away.” 

Someone else said, “That’s right. After all, none of us saw if Ryan really went through her cabinet. 

A person said. “Forget it. Hurry up and apologize to Ryan. No matter what the truth is, it’s better to avoid trouble.” 

While everyone was whispering, the little girl, Ali, had already walked up to Ryan. 

She gritted her teeth, suppressed the humiliation in her heart, and said, “Mr. Fox…” 

“No need to apologize to him!” Melody pulled Ali over again. 

2/3 

Ali looked into Melody’s eyes and shook her head. “Miss Fox, I know you’re being kind, but I have to apologize to him. really can’t lose my job, so please let go of me.” 

“Trust me.” Melody looked at Ali and said seriously. “I have a way to make you not need to apologize.” 

Ali looked at Melody’s serious expression and hesitated for a moment. 

For some reason, she trusted Melody very much. 

After hesitating for two seconds, Ali took a deep breath and suddenly nodded. “Alright, I believe you!” 

When Ryan heard this conversation, he became even more arrogant. He glanced sideways at Ali and said, “Think about it carefully. Do you want to keep Melody as your friend or to keep this job? If Melody gets in trouble, she will at most be scolded by her father. If you offend me, you will lose everything!
