However. Yolanda was not someone who could be easily defeated, so she quickly pulled herself together and reassured Mabel, Mabel, don’t worry. Fairlee may have great power, but there are some ways to solve the problem. I work my connections and spend some money to help you so you’ll still be able to participate in the Best Celebrity competition”
“But after what happened today, can I still win the Best Celebrity contest! I’ll just become the biggest joke in Silverlake,” Mabel said as she could imagine people calling her a thief now.
Never been associated with the word “thier before, she felt like dying because she had never faced this kind of humiliation in her life
Yolanda said, “Are you stupid? Don’t you know how to explain yourself? Isn’t Pamela the most loyal to you? As for Barclay, you can just apologize and say something nice to him. Make good use of your beauty so that Barclay won’t resist you. Listen to me, go home to rest well tonight, and pull yourself together tomorrow to resolve this within your circle. Do you understand?”
Upon hearing Yolanda’s suggestion. Mabel sniffed and nodded vigorously.
The two of them supported each other as they walked out of the Lawrence residence’s gate and their mood had barely stabilized.
However, when they saw Melody standing there with a mocking smile, Yolanda’s anger flared instantly.
“You still have the nerve to wait here” Yolanda almost spat out through clenched teeth
Melody’s lips curled into a smile as she answered, “Why wouldn’t I? You falsely accused me first, so what’s wrong with me waiting here to watch a good show?”
“You…” Volanda’s face turned livid with rage while Mabel couldn’t stay calm either, taking two steps forward and raising her hand to slap Melod
However, as soon as Mabel raised her hand, Melody firmly grabbed it and questioned. “Are you going to hit me? Do you have the right? You’re e just a thief
“Batch!” Mabel was furious and tried to use her other hand to scratch Melody’s face.
However, Melody again caught Mabel’s other hand effortlessly and twisted her arm
“Mum!”“” Mabel cried out in pain.

Yolanda was heartbroken and afraid Melody would hun Mabel, not daring to move recklessly and only standing there anxiously, saying. Let go of
Mabel now.”
“Of course, I’ll let her go as hitting her will only dirt my hand,” Melody looked at Yolanda coldly and continued, “I just want you to understand one thing. You can come at me, but before you do, look in the mirror and see if you have the ability to do so. Don’t put on low–level acts like today as I find them pathetic.”
With that, Melody pushed Mabel towards Yolanda and turned around to walk away, leaving them with just her back.
Yolanda was trembling all over because this was the first time Melody had confronted her directly.
Melody’s imposing presence had scared Yolanda a little, making her feel that Melody was more formidable than she had imagined, hence she was determined not to let Melody off easily.
Mabel stomped her feet, gritting her teeth in frustration. “Mom, I can’t take it anymore, I want her dead now,”
“Shut up!” Yolanda glared at Mabel angrily. “If you had half her cunning, my life would be much easier” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Mabel fumed and was unwilling to accept defeat, grinding her teeth in frustration.
Seeing this, Yolanda softened her tone and said, “Alright, let’s learn from this. Although we couldn’t disgrace her at the party, don’t forget that your Dad is coming back today.”
Mabel’s eyes widened in panic when she asked, “If Dad finds out what happened at the Lawrence residence, will he be mad?”
“He won’t find out, don’t worry.” Yolanda raised her head slightly before continuing. “It’s a bit troublesome, but there is still enough time for me to suppress the news, not letting him know, You just need to act as if nothing happened and cooperate with me”
Mabel reminded. “But if I lose the eligibility to compete, Dad will find out eventually and we’ll lose everything”
The thought of losing the eligibility to compete enraged Mabel, thinking that if it weren’t for Melody, she wouldn’t have to deal with this mess.
However, Yolanda calmed down completely and replied calmly, “Fairlee doesn’t have the power to directly disqualify you from participating in the competition. There’s nothing money can’t solve in this world, and I’ll take care of everything before your father finds out.”
Sering Yolanda’s composed demeanor, Mabel’s anxiety finally cased a bit.

Yolanda continued, “Also, the ultimate goal of winning the Best Celebrity contest is to marry you into the Swanson family. Even if you lose your eligibility to compete, as long as you capture Ulric’s heart, your Dad will still treasure you. Do you get what I mean!”
Mabel hesitated for a moment and nodded with a stiff expression. “I will try my best to create opportunities to approach Ulric
Yolanda nodded in satisfaction, but she suddenly thought of Wilmot, deciding to take action against him as he had become Melody’s backer now.
On the other side, after leaving the Lawrence residence, Melody got into James’s car and headed to Wilmot’s shop.
Not knowing what had happened to the Lawrence family, James asked in confusion, “Why did the birthday party end so quickly! Did something happen?
“Yes, quite a lot happened.” Melody looked out the car window with her bright eyes narrowing slightly, reflecting a cold light
She had thought that today was just an ambush set by Yolanda and Mabel, but she hadn’t expected Janet to be involved as well.
In her previous life, her confrontations with Janet had mainly been in the business world, not these kinds of household intrigue.
But this time, due to Janet’s involvement, Melody deeply sensed a looming threat, wondering if Janet would strike again.
What troubled Melody the most was that Janet was also one of Ken’s people, so she didn’t know how Ken would react if she confronted Janet
Knowing that losing such a powerful ally would make her path of revenge even more difficult, Melody couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on
She had to become stronger, otherwise, dealing with these trivial matters alone would drain her energy.
The car soon arrived at the mall’s parking lot and Melody asked James to wait in the car before going into Wilmot’s shop
At that moment, Wilmot Enished inspecting the shop and was about to head to his office when he stepped out of the elevator and ran into Melody,
who was about to enter,
Their eyes met, and W
Wilmot smiled, “Looks like you have returned victorious.”
Melody shrugged before removing the brooch from her top and handing it back to Wilmot, “Yes, I’m here to return this weapon to you.”
Wilmot didn’t take it, waving his hand. “Once it’s given to you, it’s yours. The brooch suits you very well. I just wonder if you would do me the honor of joining me for a meal!”
