Chapter 116
Melody knew that this unfounded crime was not enough to warrant her detention.
However, if J used her connections. locking Melody up for ten days to half a <b>month </b>and leaving a stain on her life would be a piece of cake for <b>J</b>.
Therefore, it was still too easy for J to get down on her knees
Seeing that J was silent, Melody stepped forward. She asked. “How is it? Have you thought about where to kneel?”
“Melody!” J bit her lower lip hard. The pain and humiliation made her eyes tear up.
She had always been an existence <b>that </b>everyone looked up to <b>and </b>doted on by her parents. Outside, she was a genius girl. She had never suffered such humiliation.
She <b>looked </b>up at Ken with tears in her eyes. “Ken… She forced me to get down on my knees….
From her tone, those who did not know better would think that Melody was the one who was looking for trouble first.
Melody also looked at Ken. She wanted to know if Ken would help J
However, she never thought Ken would stand on her side at all. After all, he and J had been “inseparable from his university days, and J was his right–hand man in his career
If it were Melody, she might have chosen to speak up for J.
However, in the next moment…
Ken opened his lips and said expressionlessly, “J. You agreed to get down on your knees to apologize.”
In other words, since she had agreed to get down on her knees to apologize, she had to do it.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
J’s face turned pale and her heart ached.
If Ken has any feelings for me, he won’t <b>watch </b>me get down on my knees and do nothing. I’ve worked so <b>hard </b>for so many years, but in Ken’s heart. I’m just <b>an </b>unimportant coborator, right? Thinking of it, J was angry and sad. She regretted calling Ken over.
With Ken as a witness, if she went back on her word now, it would only make Ken look down <b>on </b>her even more.
didn’t want things to turn out that way.
J met Melody’s half–smiling gaze, and the hatred in her heart <b>had </b>grown from a small seed to a towering tree.
“Isn’t it just getting <b>down </b>on my knees and apologizing! I’ll do it However, I swear I’ll get back at Melody for today’s humiliation! With that in mind<b>, </b>J bent her knees and was about to get down on her knees to Melody.
<b>But </b>just as her knees were about to touch the <b>ground</b><b>, </b>a foot suddenly reached out in front of her.
Before she could react, she knelt on the shoe.
She could not help but be stunned. She subconsciously looked up and met Melody’s clear and cold eyes.
Melody’s face was ugly, but her <b>eyes </b>were unbelievably beautiful,
However, no matter how good–looking the eyes were, since they were Melody’s, they would be extremely disgusting and hateful in J’s eyes

?
“What do you mean?” J was confused.
She was already on her knees, so she wondered why Melody reached out her foot.
Melody shrugged and reached to pull up J, kneeling on her foot. She said, “I’ve thought about it. It seems a little too much to make you kneel. <b>How </b>about this? You don’t have to be on your knees anymore. You only have topensate me for my losses
J’s expression turned even darker.
She asked, “What do you have to lose? I didn’t ask anyone to detain you!<b>”</b>
“Time! Time is money. Miss <b>Murphy</b>, you’re a top student. Haven’t you heard of this?” Melody patted J’s hand and said, *For mental damage and the time I wasted on you. I’ll give you a discount. 10 million dors will do.”
“10 million dors? Are you out of your mind? J was shocked
It was not that J could not <b>afford </b>the 10 million dors, but she had gotten down on her knees and apologized just now. She couldn’t ept <b>that </b>she still needed topensate,
“Even if I sell Melody, she is not worth 10 million dors. She is not worthy! J thought furiously.
Melody smiled insincerely and said. “Don’t tell me you don’t even have 10 million dors. Or do you want to get down on your knees and apologize again?”
“Tve already done that!” J blurted out.
“Is that so? I remember someone putting her knees on my foot just now, but I didn’t see you get down to the <b>ground </b>and apologize to me,” <b>said </b>Melody casually,
“<b>You</b>…” J was so angry that her face turned ashen.
She had never been good at arguing, so she naturally could not win against Melody,
“Alright!” Ken frowned and looked at Melody. “Let’s take it that J had apologized to <b>you </b>just now. As for the 10 million dors, I’ll give it to you.”
“Sure,” Melody said indifferently, “Since Miss Murphy <b>can’t </b>afford 10 million dors, it’s the same that you give it to me.”
“You. Don’t look down on me! It’s just 10 million dors. I can afford in Melody’s provocation angered J sessfully She could <b>not </b>stand this humiliation and immediately signed a 10–million–dor check and threw it to Melody.
Melody did not mind J’s attitude. She carefully put away the check and <b>waved </b>her hand. “Since you’ve alreadypensated me for my losses, this matter will be written off. Goodbye!“
With that, she was about to leave.
It was almost time to get the medicine. Although J dyed her for over an hour, she didn’t <b>lose </b>out because she made 10. million dors.
On the other end, J bit her lower lip and opened her mouth to exin to Ken. V
But she couldn’te up with any exnation when she was about to <b>speak</b>.
She was indeed unreasonable… So, of <b>course</b>, there was no way to exin it.
Seeing J’s conflicted expression, Ken waved his hand and said. “You don’t have to say anything. I’ve always admired you at work, but today, you disappointed me.”

The word “disappointed made J be like a frosted eggnt, losing thest trace of life.
Her eyes were red, but Ken did not look at her as he <b>walked </b>away
J instinctively wanted <b>to </b>stop Ken, but she saw Ken walking Melody’s direction.
Her expression instantly became extremely <b>dark</b>.
Melody. I will let Ken see your true colors! J looked at Ken walking away and dialed a number with a cold expression.
The other party quickly picked up and a passionate female voice sounded. “J?”
Fairlee asked on the other end of the phone, “What did you suddenly call me for?”
“Ms. Lawrence.” J changed into a gentle tone <b>and </b>asked. “Are you busy <b>now</b>?”
“No, I’m not busy. I just finished a trial and am having coffee in my office. What can I do for you?” Fairlee asked gently,
“Here’s the thing. Ms. Lawrence. Thest time I was in the <b>hospital</b>, you mentioned Melody. I bumped into her today and had a small conflict with her,” said J
“What?” Fairlee raised her voice and said. “She even dares to have a conflict with <b>you</b>? What a brainless vige girl”
“Ms. Lawrence, I <b>have </b>an idea… that can help us vent our anger. Isn’t your birthdaying up soon? When the timees, you <b>can </b>invite the Fox family over…” J told Fairlee her n.
At the same time, on the side of the road.
Melody was about to take a <b>taxi </b>when Ken’s voice sounded behind her. “Wait?”
Melody originally wanted to ignore him but stopped after hesitating for a moment..
Today, Melody had refreshed her understanding of Ken. He seemed to be more reasonable than her.
Just based on this, Ken <b>was </b>far better than Ulric. She quite admired Ken.
If possible, she still wanted to ally with Ken. Even if she didn’t ally with him, she didn’t want to be enemies with Ken.
