Chapter 130

    It was not that Melody did not notice that Ulric had been paying attention to her.


    However, she pretended not to notice anything and chatted and ate with Margaret with a normal expression.


    She pretended to be concerned <b>and </b><b>asked </b>Margaret, “Margaret, isn’t Kening back for dinner? I heard that he went to work at the Swanson Group’s headquarters. I wonder if he’ll be used to it…”


    “He will be fine,” Margaret said firmly. “Ken has been outstanding since he was young. Whether it was his studies in school or his work after graduation, he has never disappointed me. I think he will do very well.”


    Hearing this, Ulric narrowed his eyes coldly.


    However, his expression disappeared in a sh and returned to his <b>usual </b>gentle appearance.


    Melody clearly caught the cold expression on Ulric’s face from the corner of her eye.


    She knew that she couldn’t be rash. She couldn’t sacrifice herself for revenge, so <b>what </b>she could do to Ulric now was to disgust him from time to time and expose his true colors bit by bit.


    “He’s indeed an outstanding person.” Melody praised with a smile


    Half of her words were sincere, a and the other half was deliberately said for Ulric to hear.


    As <b>soon </b>as she finished speaking, she saw Ulric’s expression turn ugly again.


    She thought, ‘Good…‘


    The lunch finally ended.


    After the meal, Melody carefully took Margart’s pulse again and confirmed that she hadpletely recovered. Then, she prescribed some prescriptions for recuperation and reminded her. “Although you’ve recovered, you still have to take the prescription for recuperation on time. Don’t eat anything else. IfI don’t say to change the medicine, the prescription can’t be changed. After about a month, I’ll change the prescription for you.”


    Margaret held her forehead like a child. “I thought I wouldn’t have to drink medicine anymore after I recovered. Turns out b still have to


    Melody smiled andforted her. “<b>You </b>can drink it for another half a year at most. Then you won’t have to take any more medicine<b>.</b>


    Only then did Margaret feel a little better.


    che instantly thought of something else and signaled the servant to close the door with her eyes. Then, she held Melody’s hand and <b>said</b>, “Melody, since you’ve already registered your marriage with Ken, I’ll tell you something directly.”


    “Go ahead.” Melody nodded, curious about what Margaret wanted to say to her.


    Margaret said with aplicated expression, “You’ve been back in Silveke for a while. You should have heard about what happened to Ulric’s leg, right?”


    She thought, ‘So that is what she wants to say


    Melody nodded. “I’ve heard a little


    <b>Margaret </b>sighed heavily and said, “I’ve never <b>asked </b>Ken about that matter in detail<b>. </b>I admit that I have my own selfish motives. Even though I <b>know </b>that the two brothers don’t get along. I always turn <b>a </b>blind eye and lie to myself, telling myself


    that this <b>family </b>is still harmonious.”


    Melody listened patiently and nodded from time to time, but she did not interrupt


    Margaret continued, “But I’ve always had my doubts about this matter. Even if the brothers didn’t get along, Ken wouldn’t have done such a thing. But at that time, there were witnesses and evidence. Ulric’s leg was indeed crippled… <b>so </b><b>I </b>was confused. But there was always <b>a </b>voice in my mind telling me that this matter wasn’t that simple.”


    Melody <b>nced </b>at Margaret and asked in a low voice, “Are you telling me this because you want me to find out the truth?”


    After a long silence, Margaret nodded. “Ken had a tough life. He lost his mother when he was young. His stepmother is different from his biological mother. This made him unwilling to say anything no matter what grievances he felt. However, if he was really wronged, I would never turn a blind eye to it. After thinking about it, you’re the most suitable person to investigate this matter. Are you willing to help Grandma again?


    Melody nodded in agreement without any hesitation. “I’ll look into it!”


    As long as this matter was found out, it could help Ken clear his came and expose Ulric and Astrid’s true colors.


    Even if Margaret didn’t say it, she still had to do it.


    Seeing how determined and sincere she was, Margaret felt a little relieved. “Don’t tell anyone about this except you and me. If you run into any obstacles and need my help, just let Grandma know<i>.</i>”


    “Okay, Margaret. Melody nodded vigorously,


    She <b>would </b>definitely get to the bottom of this matter.


    As the two of them chatted, it was time for Margaret to take an afternoon nap. She had always had the habit of taking an afternoon <b>nap</b>, and when it was time, she could not open her eyes.


    Melody happened to receive an inauguration call from the headhuntingpany, so she got up to say goodbye <b>to </b>Margaret.


    When she walked out of the vi, she vaguely felt a cold gaze staring at her.


    Melody stopped in her tracks and subconsciously turned to look <b>at </b>the second floor of the vi.


    At a window on the second <b>floor</b>, the curtains swayed slightly.


    There was someone there just now.


    Melody nced at the window and quickly determined that it was Ulric’s room.


    It seemed that Ulric had his eyes on her.


    However, she <b>was </b>the one in the dark.


    Melody’s lips curled up coldly. She turned around and left without looking <b>back</b>.


    After Melody turned around, Ulric stood by the window again.


    He looked deeply at Melody’s back and only retracted his gaze when he could no longer see her.


    At <b>that </b>moment, <b>his </b>phone rang.


    He took out his phone and looked at the caller ID, it was Melody


    He thought, “Why would Melody call me?‘


    2/3


    3/3


    While he was surprised, a trace of surprise that even he did not notice shed across his heart.


    In the next moment, Ulric quickly reached out and picked up the call. “Hello?”


    “Mr. Ulric, I’m Mabel… Mabel’s <b>voice </b>came from the phone.


    Ulric suddenly realized that previously, he had mixed up Melody and Mabel’s identities, so the caller ID he had left for Mabel was Melody.


    Frustration rose in his heart. “Miss Fox, what’s the matter?”


    Mabel did not realize that Ulric’s attitude towards her had changed for a moment. She said shyly. “The training school taught us to bake desserts today. I made a half–cooked cheese. Although it doesn’t look good, the taste should be fine. Thest time you <b>gave </b>me a gift, I haven’t given you one. I wonder if I can offset it with this half–cooked cheese?”This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    “There’s no need.” Ulric held his phone coldly and <b>said</b>, “I don’t like sweet food.”


    On the other end of the phone, Mabel was caught off guard. Her shy smile froze on her face.


    Only then did she realize that when she contacted Ulric this time, his attitude <b>was </b>abnormally cold. It waspletely different from at the birthday banquet previously.


    At that time, Ulric was clearly a gentle person.


    “Mr. Ulric..” Mabel’s eyes reddened in grievance. “You… what’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Or did I disturb you?”
