Chapter <b>131</b>
When Ulric heard Mabel’s nasal voice, he felt even more impatient than before.
He hated women who <b>cried </b>constantly.
“No, I just… Ulric was about to find an excuse to hang up when he suddenly looked up. He thought, ‘Mabel Fox, Melody. Fox
Ulric rolled his eyes and returned to his usual gentle tone. I’m not in a bad <b>mood</b>. It’s just <b>that </b>after lunch today, I had dessert with Melody and I feel a little sick of it now. So… I’m sorry. I appreciate your kindness?
<b>“</b><b>I </b>see… Melodyactually came over. I didn’t even know…” Mabel tried her best to maintain her voice and said calmly. “Then go <b>ahead</b>. I won’t disturb you anymore.”
“Okay, goodbye. Ulric hung up and sneered.
Melody made him very unhappy today. In that case, he wanted to <b>make </b>use of Mabel to disgust her.
He thought, ‘Mabel has a beautiful appearance but nothing in her mind. She is the best <b>person </b>to use.
On the other end of the phone, Mabel <b>was </b>so angry that she almost dropped the half–cooked cheese in her hand.
Bitch! Bitch! Her fingers gripped the table tightly, digging a long mark on it
With a loud snap, her nails broke.
Mabel gasped in pain, and the anger in her heart intensified.
She thought, “Melody, Melody! <b>That </b>bitch is everywhere! It was not enough for her to get close to Ken. It was not enough to let Ken speak up for her at the birthday banquet. Now, she wanted to curry favor with Ulric. Does she want to <b>have </b>both of <b>them </b>with her look? Why didn’t she take a look at herself in the mirror first
Mabel was so angry that she was about to go crazy. At this moment, the socialite from the same training ss opened the door of the bakery ssroom.
Mabel was shocked and <b>quickly </b>regained herposure: She turned around and asked with a smile, “Pam? Isn’t ss over? Why are you back?”
The socialite <b>named </b>Ram <b>rk </b>sighed and <b>said</b>, “My mother asked me toe back and practice more. Seriously, no matter how hard I work, it’s impossible for me to be the top socialite in Silveke, okay? In my opinion, as long as <b>you </b>sign up this year, the top socialite <b>will </b>definitely be your.”
Mabel enjoyed her words, but she still pretended to be humble on the surface. “How can you be so sure? As long as you work hard enough, you will have a chance. Everyone will have a chance.
“Forget it, I’m already over it. I’d better stay here and scroll through my phone.” As Pam spoke, she asked suspiciously. “By the way, why are you still here after so long? Didn’t the teacher say that your half–cooked cheese is the most perfect during the baking ss?”
Mabel lowered her eyes and said <b>sadly</b>, “I wanted to give my half–<b>cooked </b>cheese to the person I like, but just now… he rejected me on the phone:
“What?” <b>Pam </b>raised her voice and asked. “Who’s so blind as to reject our top socialite in Silveke?”
Mabel shook her head, “He’s a perfect person. It’s normal for him to reject me. However, I’m sad that he rejected me because

of my sister<b>…</b>”
Pam <b>said</b>. “Your sister? The ugly one?”
Mabel pretended to be unhappy. Tam, please don’t talk about my sister like that. She’s actually quite a nice person.”
Pam sneered and said, “She’s a good person? If she was a good person, would she snatch her younger sister’s man?”
Mabel shook her head and looked like she was unwilling to say anything else. She only <b>said</b>, “If my sister likes him too, then, then I’m willing to give up.”
Pam felt even more indignant for Mabel “If you give up, you’re a <b>fool</b>! She’s infertil
you in every <b>way</b>. She’s the one who should give up! Mabel, you have to believe in yourself. Among all the socialites in Silveke, you’re the most beautiful and charming!”
Mabel sighed and said, “Thank you for praising me. I’m not in the mood to talk about this anymore. Please help me keep it a secret. I’ll go back first.”
Pam nodded and watched Mabel leave.
However, after Mabel left, she quickly scolded Melody in the group chat on her phone.
The socialite circle in Silveke was not big. Soon, Melody became famous in the circle.
Someonemented in a group chat: [How dare that ugly girl from the countryside snatch Mabel’s man? Is she crazy?]
Another girl wrote: [That’s why country bumpkins are country bumpkins. They have no self–awareness at all.]
Another person texted: [She probably doesn’t even know how to write the words ‘self–awareness‘!]
All the socialites were ridiculing Melody. Mabel naturally saw it too, but she pretended not to see anything and let the matter ferment crazily.
At this moment, Mabel received a message from Ulric. [Mabel, are you free tomorrow afternoon? If you’re free, can you help me go to the Herbathrive to get the medicine? My mother went to find a doctor to treat my leg. I’m worried about letting others get it, so I can only <b>ask </b><b>you</b><b>.</b>]
Mabel’s eyes lit up when she saw the message. <b>The </b>gloominess from before was swept away.
She replied: [I’m free! I don’t have ss tomorrow!]
At this moment, all the reservedness of a socialite was thrown out of Mabel’s mind.
On the other end of the phone, Ulric smiled in satisfaction.
He thought, ‘She is indeed an easy woman to control. She <b>is </b>overjoyed just by giving her a little hope. If only Melody is so <b>easy </b>to control.
<b>In </b>the next moment, <b>Ulric’s </b>expression turned <b>ugly </b><b>again</b>.
He thought, Why do I keep thinking about that ugly woman!”
Ulric <b>closed </b>the <b>message </b>page and called Wendell Hunter.
The call was quickly picked up and Wendell’s fawning voice could be heard. “My good nephew, why did you call me?”
Ulric pursed his lips impatiently <b>and said</b>, “My mother said <b>that </b>you have a way to find a traditional doctor who knows Nine- Line Acupuncture?”
<b>2/3</b>
“Right” Upon hearing this, Wendell couldn’t help but say proudly, <b>I </b>know a forum that has <b>experts </b>from all <b>walks </b>of life. I put a bounty on it. If anyone knows the Nine–Line Acupuncture, they will ept that bounty. Let’s just wait patiently.”
Ulric asked, “Forum<b>?</b><b>”</b>
Wendell said, “It’s the ck market in Silveke. Nephew, you should know it, <b>right</b>?”
Yes. Ulric replied.
He had long known about the existence of the ck market. “I remember the ce was very small a few years ago. It seems to have gotten bigger now?”
Wendell said, “That’s right! I wonder who the boss behind the ck market is. If we can find out his identity, we can rope him in. He will definitely be a very powerful helper for us!
Ulric <b>raised </b>his eyebrows. “Don’t tell me you have a clear mind too? Think of a way to dig out the identity of the boss of the ck <b>market</b>. No matter <b>what </b>conditions he offers, as long as he willing to serve us, I can agree.”
<b>“</b>Understood!” After the call ended, Wendell immediately logged into the forum to check if anyone had epted his bounty.
No one epted the bounty, but there were many posts below.
Someonemented: [Nine–Line Acupuncture? What the hell is that?]
Another person replied: [The Nine–Line Acupuncture is an acupuncture technique. Legend has it that it can cure all poisons and illnesses. However, this <b>is </b>only a rumor. In any case, I’ve never heard of anyone who knows this.]N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Just as Wendell was disappointed, he scrolled down and suddenly saw a post below.
Someonemented: [Ive heard of this, and I know that there are indeed people in the world who know <b>this</b>.]
