Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Janet glanced at Ken before continuing. “You might end up not helping us at all and instead make Zack despise us.” 

“Don’t worry about that. I’ll handle it,” Ken replied. 

“I hope so! Otherwise.” Janet said. 

“There is no otherwise!” Melody interrupted Janet bluntly and then walked out. 

“You..” Janet clenched her teeth, aware that Ken was still there, and calmed herself before stepping up to him. “Ken, do you really believe she can get through to Zack! I think shell just aggravate him, which is bad for us 

Ken looked up at Janet slightly and asked, “Besides her, have you seen anyone else who understands Zack this well? I remember you also tried to get to Zark, and how much do you know about his grandfather?” 

Janet was at a loss for words. 

She had no idea Zack had a grandfather who was significant to him. 

Unable to respond, Janet could only explain, “I didn’t know because I haven’t started investigating Zack yet. 

“Enough” Ken stopped her. “Leave this to her. 

“But what if she angers Zack?” Janet was unwilling. 

At that, James couldn’t help but interject, “Miss Murphy, you can rest assured about that. Although Miss Fox is young, she is meticulous in her work. What she mentioned earlier was only part of it. I’ve been with her these past few days, so I know that Miss Fox not only gets along well with Zack’s grandfather but is also helping treat his illness. Naturally, Zack is someone who finds it hard to trust others, so the treatment is happening in secret. She plans to reveal her identity only after Zack’s grandfather is cured. By then, Zack should at least be grateful enough for her curing his grandfather that he won’t turn against us.” 

After speaking, James regretted it inwardly. 

Aren’t I supposed to be on Miss Murphy’s side? Why did I instinctively defend Miss wondered. 

Janes found herself completely silenced by James‘ explanation. 

She hadn’t expected that treating an illness would be part of the equation. 

It must be because I really want Zack to join us, he 

Regardless, it seemed Melody did have some medical skills. If she truly managed to cure Zack’s grandfather, there was a chance that things might indeed work out. 

Biting her lip in frustration, Janet thought, “What a cunning woman! I can’t let Melody continue. Sometimes, it’s not the unlikely things but the inevitable ones that cause trouble. If Melody really does what I couldn’t and wins Zack over for Ken, her standing with him might surpass mine. That would make things even more uncontrollable. 

Lost in her thoughts, Janet was brought back by Ken’s cold voice. “You said you needed to talk to me. Is something wrong with Insterimond?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Well…” Janet snapped back to reality and shook her head. “No, everything is fine with Interimond. I came to tell you that my house is fully renovated, and I wanted to invite you over after work to celebrate.”

Ken’s expression turned frosty. “Don’t come to the Swanson Group headquarters for personal matters again. 

Janet hadn’t expected Ken to reject her invitation so bluntly, 

Her face went pale as she nodded. “I understand… I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll go now. 

Ken said nothing, returning to his work. 

Seeing this, Janet felt even worse, pressing her lips together tightly as she left without another word. 

James 

hesitated but held back from saying anything 

His position didn’t allow him to interfere in Ken’s personal life. 

However, James sincerely hoped Janet and Ken could end up together. 

With that thought, James bid Ken goodbye and hurried after Janet. “Hey, Miss Murphy!” 

Janet paused slightly, forcing a pitiful smile. James, is there something you need!” 

Seeing Janet’s pale face. James couldn’t help but speak. “Miss Murphy, Mr. Swanson’s marriage to Miss Fox was a complete accident. He only got the

marriage certificate because of Mrs. Swanson. Plus, he has no intention of making it public, which shows he doesn’t acknowledge this marriage in his heart. So, please don’t be too upsel.. 

Janet managed a grateful smile. “Thank you, James. All these years, you’ve seen everything, and you’re the only one who understands my pain.” 

James quickly shook his head. “No, it’s not just me. I believe Mr. Swanson knows too. But you understand. His priority right now is reclaiming Pearly Antiques. He doesn’t have the headspace for anything else at the moment. Have you seen any other women around Mr. Swanson all these years? I’m confident you two will overcome the obstacles and be together” 

Hearing this, Janet felt a surge of relief. 

She nodded slightly. “Thank you. James,” 

James shook his head again. “No need. I’m just stating the facts.” 

Janet smiled again. As they walked downstairs together, Janet asked casually. “It’s good that Melody is treating Ford’s illness. She could easily use this to win Zack’s favor, so why hide it from him?” 

James explained Ford’s situation in detail and added, “Moreover, Miss Fox is very young. Even if we were in his place, we wouldn’t believe she had any medical skills, let alone Zack who finds it hard to trust others. Considering both Mr. Nelson’s and her own situation. Miss Fox decided to keep it from Zack for now” 

Janet nodded, her eyes darkening with thought 

After parting ways with James, Janet immediately dialed a number. “Leak a message to Zack that a country woman with no medical skills is deceiving his grandfather and treating him improperly” 

The person on the other end responded concisely, “Yes, Ms. Murphy 

Ending the call, Janet’s lips curled into a cold smile. 

Having Zack would undoubtedly strengthen their Al technology company, but they could still operate without him. 

However, without Melody, everything Janet desired would be much easier to achieve. 

In comparison, losing the chance to win Zack’s cooperation was insignificant. 

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror instinctively, and upon sering Janet’s smile, it couldn’t help but give him chills despite her outward pleasantness. 

By evening, Melody walked through the door and was immediately greeted by a familiar voice. “Yolanda, you have to stand up for mer 

Hearing the voice, Melody felt a headache coming on. 

It was none other than Ryan, the same person Melody had kicked out of the company. 

So that was what his threat meant. 

Melody had overestimated him, thinking he would take some actual steps to retaliate against her. Instead, he had run to Yolanda to wail and complain.
