Chapter <b>155</b>


    J nced at Ken before continuing. “You might end up not helping us at all and instead make <b>Zack </b>despise us.”


    <b>“</b>Don’t worry about that. I’ll handle it,” Ken replied.


    “I hope so! Otherwise.” J said.


    “There is no otherwise!” Melody interrupted J bluntly and then walked out.


    <b>“</b><b>You</b>..” J clenched her teeth, aware that Ken was still there, and calmed herself before stepping up to him. “Ken, do you really believe she can get through to Zack! I think shell just aggravate him, which is bad for us


    Ken looked up at J slightly and asked, “Besides her, have you seen anyone else who understands Zack <b>this </b>well? I remember you also tried to get to Zark, and how much do <b>you </b>know about his grandfather?”


    J <b>was </b><b>at </b>a loss for words.


    She had no idea Zack had a grandfather who was significant to him.


    Unable to respond, J could only exin, “<b>I </b>didn’t know because I haven’t started investigating Zack yet.


    “Enough” Ken stopped her. “Leave this to her.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    “But what if she angers Zack?” J was unwilling.


    At <b>that</b>, James couldn’t help but interject, “Miss Murphy, you can rest assured about that. Although Miss Fox is <b>young</b>, she <b>is </b><b>meticulous </b>in her <b>work</b>. <b>What </b>she mentioned earlier was only part of it. I’ve been with her these past few <b>days</b>, <b>so </b>I know that Miss Fox not only gets along well with Zack’s grandfather but is also helping treat <b>his </b>illness. Naturally, Zack is someone who finds it hard to trust others, so the treatment is happening in secret. She ns to reveal her identity <b>only </b>after Zack’s grandfather is cured. By then, Zack should at least be grateful enough for her curing his grandfather <b>that </b>he won’t turn against <b>us</b><b>.</b>”


    After speaking, James regretted it inwardly.


    Aren’t I supposed to be on Miss Murphy’s side? Why did I <b>instinctively </b>defend Miss wondered.


    <b>Janes </b>found herselfpletely silenced by James‘ exnation.


    She hadn’t expected that treating an illness would be part of the equation.


    It must be because I really want Zack to join us, he


    Regardless, it seemed Melody did <b>have </b>some <b>medical </b>skills. If she truly managed to cure Zack’s grandfather, there was a chance <b>that </b>things might indeed work out.


    Biting her lip in frustration, <b>J </b>thought, “<b>What </b>a cunning woman! I can’t let Melody continue. Sometimes, it’s not the unlikely things but the inevitable ones that cause trouble. If Melody really does what I couldn’t and wins Zack over for Ken, her standing with him might surpass mine. That would make things even more uncontroble.


    Lost in her thoughts, J was brought back by Ken’s cold voice. “You said you needed to talk to me. Is something wrong with Insterimond?”


    “Well…” J snapped back to reality and shook her head. “No, everything is fine with Interimond. I came to tell you that my house is fully renovated, and I wanted to invite you over after work to celebrate<b>.</b><b>”</b>


    ?? ? ??


    Ken’s expression turned frosty. “Don’te to the Swanson Group headquarters for personal matters again.


    J hadn’t expected Ken to reject her invitation so bluntly,


    Her face went pale <b>as </b>she nodded. “I understand… I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll go now.


    Ken said nothing, returning to his work.


    Seeing this, J felt even worse, pressing her lips together tightly <b>as </b>she left without another word.


    James


    hesitated but held back from saying anything


    His position <b>didn’t </b>allow him to interfere in Ken’s personal life.


    However, James sincerely hoped J and Ken could end up together.


    With that thought, James bid Ken goodbye and hurried after J. “Hey, <b>Miss </b>Murphy!”


    J paused slightly, forcing a pitiful smile. James, is there something you need!”


    Seeing J’s pale face. James couldn’t help but speak. “Miss Murphy, Mr. Swanson’s marriage to Miss Fox <b>was </b><b>a </bplete ident. He only got the

    marriage certificate because of Mrs. Swanson. Plus, he has no intention of making it public, which shows he doesn’t acknowledge this marriage in his heart. So, please don’t be too upsel..


    J managed a grateful smile. “Thank you, James. All these years, you’ve seen everything, and you’re the only one who understands my pain.”


    James quickly shook his <b>head</b>. “No, it’s not just me. I believe Mr. Swanson knows too. But you understand. His priority right now is reiming Pearly Antiques. He doesn’t have the <b>headspace </b>for anything else at the moment. Have you seen any other women around Mr. Swanson all these years? I’m confident you two will ovee the obstacles and be together”


    Hearing this, J felt a surge of relief.


    She nodded slightly. “Thank you. James,”


    James shook his head again. “No need. I’m just stating the facts.”


    J smiled again. As they walked downstairs together, J asked casually. “It’s good that Melody is treating Ford’s illness. She could easily use this to win Zack’s favor, so why hide it from him?”


    James exined Ford’s situation in detail and added, “Moreover, Miss Fox is very young. <b>Even </b>if we were in his ce, we wouldn’t believe she had any medical skills, let alone <b>Zack </b>who finds it hard to trust others. Considering both Mr. Nelson’s and her own situation. Miss Fox decided to keep it from Zack for now”


    J nodded, her eyes darkening with thought


    After parting ways with James, J immediately dialed a number. “Leak a message to Zack that a country woman with no medical skills is deceiving his grandfather and treating him improperly”


    The person on the other end responded concisely, “Yes, Ms. Murphy


    Ending the call, J’s lips curled into a cold smile.


    Having Zack would undoubtedly strengthen their Al technologypany, but they could still operate without him.


    However, without Melody, everything J desired would be much easier to achieve.


    <b>In </bparison, losing the chance to win Zack’s cooperation was insignificant.


    The driver nced at the rearview mirror instinctively, <b>and </b>upon sering J’s smile, it couldn’t help but give him chills despite her outward pleasantness.


    By evening, Melody walked through the door and was immediately greeted by a familiar voice. “Ynda, you have to stand up for mer


    Hearing the voice, Melody felt a headacheing <b>on</b><b>.</b>


    It was none other than Ryan, the same person Melody had kicked out of thepany.


    So that was what his threat meant.


    Melody had overestimated him, thinking he would <b>take </b>some actual steps to retaliate against her. Instead, he had run to Ynda to <b>wail </b><b>and </bin.
