<b>Chapter </b>144
James thought. “No! How can I betray Miss Murphy! My change of opinion of Melody is unfair to Miss Murphy. I cannot be bewitched by him so easily
James shook his head and quickly sorted out his messy thoughts. He walked forward and said expressionlessly, “Miss Fox, it’s been settled:
“<b>Okay</b><b>.</b><b>” </b>Melody turned around <b>and </b>met James’s gaze. “Do you have a lot of questions for me about that man? You can <b>ask </b>me now that I’m in a good mood.”
James choked and thought, ‘Is it that easy to tell?‘
Since Melody knew that he was going to ask, James did not beat around the bush and asked directly, “Who is that man? He knows the red card. He should be from the ck market, right? What do you want him to do? How did you meet him?”
Melody shrugged and did not hide anything. She told him everything about Ynda buying medicine at the <b>ck </b>market.
<b>James </b>instantly understood. <b>“</b><b>You </b>want him to cooperate with you to collect evidence of Ynda poisoning Maria, right?”
“Yes Melody nodded.
Upon hearing this, James could not help but say, “Then you dont <b>have </b>to help him treat his illness at all. That red card can make him do whatever you want <b>him </b>to do.”
He thought, Why did she <b>have </b>to treat him? Wasn’t it a waste of time?
Of course, James did d not say these words.
Is out loud.
Having been by Ken’s side for so many years, he knew what to say and what not to <b>say</b><b>.</b>
However, even though James did not say it directly, Melody understood what he meant.
She couldn’t help but frown. <b>Then</b>, she rxed her brows and said, “For some people, it’s indeed enough to put pressure on them, but for people who are in the ck market and can’t even go to the hospital directly, we can’t just put pressure on them. We have to use both punishment and reward<b>.</b>
She thought, ‘<b>Even </b>a cornered beast would fight back, let alone <b>a </b><b>stall </b>owner who can’t even reveal his true identity. That person is a person who has been involved in shady business all his life. Perhaps he will y a trick on me and sell all my information to Ynda at a high price before escaping. Therefore, other than the red card, I had to use the antidote to make him loyal to me.
Melody frowned again and said, “There can’t be any mistakes in Ynda’s matter, so even if it’s unnecessary, I’m willing. If <b>you</b>
think it’s troublesome to help me, go back to Ken.”
As Melody spoke, she reached out to <b>hail </b>a taxi, opened the door and got in.
When James saw this, he knew that what he had said just now was indeed <b>not </b>nice. He quickly got into the car.
However, after hesitating for a long time, he still could not apologize to Melody.
It was impossible for him to apologize to someone he disliked.
In the backseat, Melody did <b>not </b>notice the conflicted look on James’s face at all.
On the other side, after Mabel left the cafe, she was about to go to the hospital to see her swollen face when she saw Pam getting into a car not far away.
Thinking about how she had no choice but to push Pam out to protect herself just now, Mabel felt both frustrated and annoyed.
She identally touched her face and her eyes lit up. An idea popped up in her mind. She could not lose Pam.
Mabel smiled and quickly <b>caught </b>up. <b>“</b>Pam<b>!</b>”
Pam <b>was </b>about to get into the car when she suddenly heard Mabel’s voice. Her expression immediately turned cold. “Why are you still looking for me? I did those things for you, but <b>you </b>asked me to apologize to your sister. Do <b>you </b>even treat me as a friend?” Pam turned around with <b>a </b>dark expression <b>as </b>she used her.
Mabel’s face was swollen and her eyes were misty. She looked pitiful and aggrieved.
Stunned. Pam subconsciously asked, “<b>What </b>happened to your face?”
Mabel sniffed and covered her face with one hand in a panic. She forced a smile and said, “No, <b>nothing</b>…”
Seeing this, Pam reached out and pulled Mabel’s hand <b>away </b>from her face
That face was usually well–maintained. At this moment, there was a palm print on her face, and half of her face was shockingly swollen.
Pam was even more surprised. “Who hit you?”
Mabel shook her head.
No one hit me. I was careless…” As soon as she finished speaking, tears fell at the right time.
Pam quickly made <b>a </b>judgment. “It’s Melody, right?”
Mabel shook her head <b>again</b><b>. </b>“She didn’t do it on purpose…
After confirming that it was indeed Melody who did it, Pam widened her eyes in disbelief and said, “You even criticized me, your friend, for her, and she actually hit <b>you</b>?”
Mabel said, “She really didn’t do it on purpose…”
Pam stomped her foot angrily. “Mabell I really don’t know what to say about you. You’re <b>usually </b>very smart, and your grades are the best among your friends. Why <b>are </b>you acting like a fool when you are around Melody? She’s already bullied <b>you </b>to this extent, yet you’re still defending her and <b>speaking </b>up for her? What’s in your head? Is it mush?”
Mabel said, “I she…
“Stop talking” Pam pulled Mabel into the car and instructed the driver, “Go to the hospital!”
When Mabel heard this, she knew that her ruse had worked.
Theers of her lips curled up slightly, and she instantly returned to her <b>pitiful </b>appearance, Pam, we were indeed in the wrong today. Can you not me my sister?”
Pam opened her mouth but did not know how to persuade Mabel.
In the end, she sighed heavily. Although she <b>agreed</b>, she was thinking about how to avenge Mabel and make her realize this siruation..
Soon, night fell

As soon as Melody entered the <b>Fox </b><b>residence</b>, she <b>saw </b>Ynda siting on the sofa, carefully <b>rubbing </b>Mabel’s cheek <b>with </b>an

She turned a blind eye and walked towards the backyard.
“Stop right there!” <b>Ynda’s </b>voice came from behind.
Melody stopped in her <b>tracks </b>and turned around with a smile. “Ynda, I’ve had dinner.”
When Ynda saw Melody like this, <b>she </b>became even angrier, “Who asked if <b>you </b><b>had </b>dinner? Come here! <b>Exin </b>why you hit Mabell
“Oh?” Melody tilted her head and asked, “Didn’t my dear sister tell you the reason?”
Mabel’s face darkened. She only told Ynda that Melody had hit her and nothing else.
Mabel was about to exin when Ynda, who was beside her, spoke first. “Why are you acting this way after hitting someone? Where did your manners go?”
“I hit her? I have no manners?” Melody sneered and said. “Your precious daughter dyed me from treating someone. The patient hit her on impulse. Why is it my fault?”
Ynda’s back stiffened. She turned her head and looked at Mabel questioningly
<b>Mabel </b>looked away guiltily. “Mom, <b>it’s </b>all a misunderstanding…”
Melody shrugged. “Since it’s a misunderstanding. I’ll go see Grandma. You can exin it to your mother yourself.”
As she spoke, she turned around and <b>walked </b>towards the backyard without stopping.
