Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Janet was just about in inquire carefully when someone suddenly pushed her aside and asked concernedly, “Mabel, what did you loser” Realizing that it was Melody. Mabel looked up and met Melody’s cold, deep gare. 

Melody’s gaze sent chills down Mabel’s spine but the coldness disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by an 

in expression full of c 

Mabel wondered if she saw it wrongly, but before she could take a closer look, Melody grabbed her hand and began earnestly helping her search. “What are you doing?” Mabel subconsciously frowned 

Melody let go of Mabel’s hand and said innocently. “You lost something, so I’m helping you look for it. Brooches are so small that they can easily fall off, maybe it fell somewhere on your clothes 

knowing that brooches didn’t fall off that easily. Mabel smirked coldly inside as she foresaw that Melody would be known as a thief soon. 

After Mabel gave Yolanda a look, Yolanda immediately stepped forward to pull Melody aside, while Yolanda’s hand inadvertently knocked against Melody’s head, causing Melody’s beret to fall to the ground 

Yolanda was filled with excitement while she quickly apologized before bending down to picki up Melody’s hat, adding, “Melody, I was afraid you might tear Mabel’s clothes, I’m sorry.” 

Mabel also looked at 

at the hat with anticipation because although the hat itself seemed usual, its lining was printed with dog patterns. 

Janet had warned Mabel not to have anything related to dogs at this event because Fairlee’s mother had died of rabies after being bitten by a dog. 

Now, as long as they turned the hat inside out to reveal the dog patterns, Melody would be finished because wearing a hat with dog patterns to Fairlee’s fortieth birthday celebration would be seen as a blatant provocation, and everyone would think Melody was an ignorant and malicious country bumpkin. 

After apologizing for knocking off the hat, Yolanda picked the hat up and naturally turned inside out, handing it back to Melody with the lining facing up 

She didn’t look at Melody or the hat but instead stared directly at Fairlee, believing that Fairlee would explode in anger soon 

However, a few seconds passed, and Fairlee’s expression remained unchanged 

Yolanda thought. How could this be? Jin’t Fairlee supposed to erupt in anger upon seeing the hat 

Yolanda’s mind went blank for a moment, then she quickly looked at the hat, realizing the original dog pattern lining had somehow changed to a cat partern. 

Upon recalling their visit to Wilmor’s shop for styling, Yolanda instantly 

ly understood the situation and inwardly scolded Wilmot, determined to All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

teach him a lesson after this. 

While Yolanda seeshed with anger, Mabel openly expressed her disbelief, exclaiming. “How is this possible?“ 

Melody put her hat back on and asked Mabel with a faint smile, “Mabel, what do you mean by how is this possible?” 

With their plan failed, Mabel was both shocked and furious as she blurted out, “Your hat isn’t.. 

Yolanda quickly tagged on Mabel’s sleeve and said, “Mabel, now is not the time to worry about whether Melody’s hat is an straight, let’s find the brooch Miss Murphy gave you first” 

Yolanda smiled gently, and with just one sentence, she explained Mabel’s lapse due to her concern for Melody’s hat. 

The crowd couldn’t help but look approvingly at Mabel, feeling that she was a girl with good character as she was still sa concerned about Melody’s appearance even when she had lost something 

Reminded by Yolanda, Mabel quickly regained her composure and masked all her emotions, comforting herself inwardly, ‘It’s fine, the hat trick failed, but there’s still the brooch. Thank goodness that Mom is smart enough to set up multiple traps: 

Thinking this, Mabel pretended to help Melody adjust her hat and then looked at Melody’s chest, feeling fortunate that the brooch was still the same one she had pinneil earlier. 

Mabel heaved a sigh of relief as she thought, It’s just a coincidence earlier, Melody is so stupid, so how will she figure out our plant 

The next second, Mabe pretended to be surprised and pointed to Melody’s chest. “Melody, why is my brooch on you?” 

Melody looked puzzled as she asked, “Mabel, what brooch are you talking alarmı?” 

Mabel was focused on her act and didn’t notice the fleeting cold glint in Melody’s eyes. 

The brooch on your chest is the brooch that I lost,” Mabel said with an aggrieved and forbearing expression. “Melody, if you wanted something of mine, you could have just asked as I would give you anything. But this brooch was a gift from Miss Murphy, how could you take a gift given to me by someone else?” 

Melody looked like an innocent deer, pointing to the brooch, saying, “Mabel you must be mistaken. This brooch was given to me by someone else, it’s not yours 

Yolanda stepped forward at the right moment, her face stern. “Melody, why are you still lying at this point? I regret bringing you back from the countryside. When did you start this habit of stealing? You’re simply disgraceful.” 

Despite Yolanda’s accusations, Melody’s expression remained unchanged as she continued to explain innocently. “This is my brooch and I didn’t take Mabel’s.” 

Upon hearing this, Volanda vaguely sensed something was wrong, wondering why Melody wasn’t even clarifying that the brooch had been pinned on her by Mabel earlier.
