Chapter <b>183</b>
Cadence stood beside Melody, staring in shock at her beloved dog lying motionless on the ground as if <b>dead</b>. Angrily, she <b>red </b>at <b>Melody</b>.
Cadence shouted, “Melody! <b>What </b>did you do to <b>my </b><b>dog</b><b>?</b>”
Hearing this. Melody looked up at Cadence, her eyes sharp and icy. A cold aura enveloped her, and an overwhelming force surged towards Cadence, making her feel suffocated
Cadence was so startled by Melody’s gaze <b>that </b>she instinctively took a step back.
<b>“</b><b>You </b>want my life?” Melody narrowed her eyes, her aura so strong that Cadence didn’t dare meet her <b>gaze</b>.
But then Cadence regained her courage and thought, How dare a country girl look at me like that?
“You killed my dog. You must <b>pay </b>with your life! Cadence shouted.
“Kill in” Melody nced coldly at the pit bull on the ground and let out a low, chillingugh. She squatted down and said. “It’s not dead/ it’s just
Ginc!”
“But it’s not moving! Don’t think you can deny it!” Cadence said.
Melody chuckled and said. “So you want it to move! Fine. I’ll grant your wish”
As she spoke, Melody pulled out the needle from the pit bull and quickly pressed a pressure point with her finger.
The pit bull’s eyes snapped open, <b>and </b>it slowly got up from the ground.
This dog was Cadence’s treasure. Her heart leapt with joy, and she quickly called out its name, “Lucky”
But Lucky, usually so obedient, didn’t even nce at her. Instead, it wagged its tail enthusiastically at Melody.
To anyone else, it <b>would </b>seem like an enthusiastic Golden Retriever.
“Good baby!” Melody patted Lucky’s head, looking satisfied.
Cadence couldn’t believe her eyes. Was this still her Lucky!
Realizing she wasn’t mistaken, Cadence felt <b>a </b><b>deep </b>sense of betrayal <b>as </b>she saw the dog was warm to Melody.
Anger red within her, <b>and </b>she shouted through gritted teeth, “Lucky!”
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Lucky finally focused on Cadence.
Cadence felt relieved and beckoned the pit bull toe to her.
She had sent everyone away, intending to h have Lucky tear Melody apart.
Her eyes gleamed with twisted malice when she thought of how Melody would be bit by the dog.
However, Lucky didn’t run over to her wagging its tail. Instead, it crouched with its front paws, <b>eyes </b>fierce and <b>growling </b>lowly.
Cadence knew this posture all too well. It <b>was </b><b>a </b><b>sign </b>that the pit bull was about to attack.
“Lucky..” Cadence was shocked, the color draining from her face, leaving her look pale.
The <b>next </b>second, Lucky shot towards Cadence, its posture suggesting it was ready to tear her to pieces.
Cadence was paralyzed with fear, <b>unable </b>to react.
By the <b>time </b>she realized she <b>should </b>run, Lucky was only 3 feet away.
She finally turned and ran, screaming for help. “Help! Somebody, help!”
However, the <b>ce </b>was too far from any
This <b>was </b>supposed to be Melody’s fate.
popted area<b>, </b>so po matter how loudly Cadence screamed for help, <b>no </b>one would hear her.
Melody watched coldly <b>as </b>Cadence ran for her life, feeling no pity at all.
This was the second time Cadence had tried to kill her.
Cadence had <b>a </b>good n. If Melody had been bitten to <b>death </b>by the dog. Cadence could have feigned sorrow and med it on the <b>dog</b>.
She would only have to pay so
some money and wouldn’t suffer any real consequences.
But Cadence forgot <b>that </b>Melody knew traditional medicine<b>.</b>Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
In ancient times, traditional medicine had a branch called poison masters, who could manipre poisons and control others with needles.
Unfortunately for Cadence, Melody’s master <b>had </b>passed on all those skills to Melody.
Just then, Cadence tripped over a <b>protruding </b><b>rock </b>and fell face–first into the dirt.
At that moment, the pit bull pounced at her.
her eyes in despair and screamed.
Seeing the dog flying towards her,
r, Cadence closed her eyes in de
At the brink of death, the pit bull suddenly yelped and fell to the ground mid–pounce.
Cadence, hearing the noise, opened one eye fearfully.
She saw her beloved dog lying on the ground <b>again</b><b>, </b>motionless.
Instinctively, she looked at Melody, who was brushing off dirt from her hands and walking toward her.
Melody <b>had </b>just hit a pressure point on the pit bull with a rock, immobilizing <b>it</b>.
Otherwise, Cadence would have already been killed by the dog.
When Melody was one step away, she crouched down leisurely.
“Miss Hunter”
At that moment, Melody’s voice <b>sounded </b>like a demon from hell to Cadence.
Cadence realized she had wet her dress in fear, the stench overwhelming her sense of shame.
Terrified, she looked at Melody and trembled, saying, “Please, don’t kill me… I was wrong. I was wrong
The suffocating feeling of impending death hadn’t dissipated, leaving Cadence weak and powerless, almost ready to kneel before Melody. “Now
you know you were wrong? Melody asked.
Melody smiled coldly<b>, </b>gently brushed Cadence’s hair back, and said yfully, “Miss Hunter.
<ol>
<li>r. you smell awful…”</li>
</ol>
Cadence had said the same words to Melody in the kitchen.
Realizing this<b>, </b>Cadence trembled, and she tearfully begged for mercy, saying. Tm sorry, it’s <b>all </b>my fault. I’ll never do it <b>again</b>. Please spare me…
Melody said, “Admitting your mistakes shows you’re still <b>a </b>good girl. Don’t make the same mistake again, or else…”
Melody left the threat unfinished, but <b>Cadence </b>understood and nodded frantically. “There will never be a next <b>time</b>! Please….
Melody’s lips curved slightly. She nced indifferently at Cadence and stood up. “It seems you’re not fit to return now. I won’t bother escorting you <b>back</b>. Change your clothes. You look awful. As for your dog, it’s mine <b>now</b>”
She pressed another <b>pressure </b>point on the pit bull, waking it up.
Melody patted the dog’s head and <b>said</b>, “Called Lucky, right? Come with me.
She headed <b>toward </b>the back door, with the pit bull obediently following her, casting a fierce <b>nce </b>at the trembling <b>Cadence </b>before leaving
It <b>wasn’t </b>until Melody and the dog disappeared that Cadence <b>regained </b>some strength. She shukily <b>took </b><b>out </b>her phone and called her driver. “Come quickly……. Save me… I’m going to die..”
The driver, hearing <b>this</b><b>, </b>rushed towards the back door.
It took about ten minutes for him to reach the back door, where he found Calence lying on the ground, reeking terribly.
Instinctively, he held his breath but still approached her with concern. “Miss, what happened?”

“I’m dying.” Cadence mumbled incoherently, repeating that she was dying.
The driver, rmed, touched Cadence’s forehead, which was burning hot.
He wasted no time, lifting her into his arms and driving away at top speed.
