Chapter 184
As Cadence’s car drove away, Melody nied the pit bull to a tree. Squatting down, she instructed the dog and said. “Stay here, I’ll be back to get you!
She patted the dog’s head and walked towards the backyard,
It wasn’t <b>that </b>Melody didn’t want <b>revenge </b><b>and </b>to take Cadence’s life directly
A mad dog, biting its <b>own </b>owner. How could a weak and defenceless woman like her stop it?
No one could <b>me </b>Melody.
However, knowing Cadence’s feelings for Ulric, she realized Cadence still <b>had </b>some use to her.
Otherwise, she could have simply let the pit bull kill Cadence.

As for the dog, it was just an animal incapable of independent thought. The dog wasn’t at

Just as
Seeing her, his cold eyes softened slightly, but then he frowned and asked, “Why are you wandering around?”
Melody said. 1.
Before Melody could exin. Ken noticed something was off.
He grabbed her and clearly saw the abrasions on her body.
These were injuries from being knocked down by the pit bull. Although she wasn’t bitten, she had many scrapes and bruises, especially near the hack of her neck, which will hurt.
“What happened?” Ken’s eyes turned icy.
“I” Melody hesitated, unsure if she should tell Ken about Cadence.
Since Cadence arrived, Ken hadn’t been particrly cold to her, indicating they had some connection
Melody never considered herself important enough to <b>Ken </b>to be ced above Cadence.
elody <b>was </b>still hesitant. Then she heard Ken speak in <b>a </b>cold voice, “What did Cadence do to you?”
However, Melody was
Melody looked at Ken in surprise, seeing <b>his </b>furrowed brows and unusually cold expression.
She stared at Ken in astonishment, unable to avoid his gaze as she reluctantly spilled the whole incident about the pit bull.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ken’s expression grew colder again.
Ken said, “You knew she didn’t like you, yet you followed her? What were you thinking? Are you out of your mind? <b>You’re </b>usually so clever, but now you’re acting like a fool”
Tm not a fool…” She instinctively retorted, but her voice trailed off weakly. “I was prepared for it mentally, but I never thought she’d actually <b>bring </b><b>a </b>dog with her.”
Ken’s sharply defined face grew <b>even </b>colder. “That just proves how foolish you are!”
“Melody <b>was </b>annoyed now, her cheeks putting our
He nced at her coldly, then grabbed her cor and started walking towards the back door.
“Where are you <b>taking </b>me? Melody had no choice but to follow Ken
Ken said. “To tend to your wound?”
Melody said. “Hut what about Margaret?” | |
Ken said, “Look at you now. Do you want to make her worry
try about you? She’s just recovering from a serious illness”
Melody pouted, saying “You <b>JUST </b>don’t want to ruin Cadence’s image in everyone’s minds, do you?“

Ken paused, his gaze turning to her sharply. “What did you say?”
“Nothing…” Melody’s defiance waned.
To the Swanson family, she was more of an outsiderpared to Cadence. Naturally, Ken would be biased towards Cadence, even if her father was Wendell.
She had nothing toin about it was human nature,
But then Ken said wearily, “Ill warm her. But <b>she’s </b>usually kind to Margaret<b>, </b>so I’m afraid I can’t do much to her. <b>But </b>I will help you teach her a lesson.
Melody was surprised. “You’re going to help me teach her a lesson?”
Ken didn’t answer, releasing his grip on her cor <b>and </b><b>saying</b>, “Follow me!”
Melody looked at Ken with mixed feelings. She couldn’t <b>understand </b>what he was thinking
Weren’t they here today to discuss divorcel
Why didn’t he mention
tit at all, and now he was leaving without even saying goodbye to Margareth
After <b>a </b>short pause, Melody decided to follow him.
<b>Anyway</b>, her current appearance wasn’t suitable for meeting Margaret.
Margaret would worry about her, and it involved Cadence. Margaret would be even more worried.
Soon. Ken and Melody left the estate.
After more than half <b>an </b>hour, the car stopped at akeside vi.
She knew this ce, it was called Serenity Vi, with frightfully high house prices
The car stopped in front of thekeside vi in the center of Serenity Vi.
Melody followed Ken into the vi.
Ken <b>rang </b>the doorbell, and a middle–<b>aged </b>woman with a kind look opened the door.
Seeing Ken, she was surprised for a moment and said hastily, <b>“</b><b>Sar</b>, I thought you wouldn’t be <b>back </b>for dinner, so I didn’t prepare anything
Before she finished speaking, the middle–aged woman saw Melody behind Ken, her expression even more surprised, but she didn’t say anything.
“We’ve already eaten,” Ken said, introducing simply. “<b>This </b><b>is </b>Susan<b>, </b>who takes care of things when I’m here. This is Melody
Susan hurriedly said, “Miss Fox, nice to meet you!”
Her surprise didn’t diminish.
“Nice to meet you. Melody nodded in greeting.
“Go upstairs,” Ken said, taking the lead to walk inside.
Melody hurried to follow, ncing around the vi as she walked.
Fox
The vi had <b>a </b>simple modern design with a living room ceiling height of 20 feet. It had everything one would expect, yet it seemed tock something.
Melody thought carefully and realized what was i

Unlike a bore, it felt more like a hotel.
As they walked up the <b>stairs</b><b>, </b>she subconsciously looked down and saw Susan waving friendly at her.
She nodded again and withdrew her gaze to follow Ken
The two entered a suite on the second floor.
As soon as they entered, Ken walked into the bedroom.

“Come in

Melody hesitated for a moment, then stepped in.
As <b>soon </b>as she entered the bedroom, she smelled a man’s scent, apanied by a <b>pleasant </b>scent that Ken often had.
She
Ken sitting on the <b>edge </b>of the bed<b>, </b>with a white medical kit beside him, motioning for her <b>to </be over.
She didn’t want to sit on a man’s bed, but Ken looked so natural that if she hesitated, she would seem affected
Thinking like this. Melody walked over and sat down boldly
The next moment, she heard Ken say, “Take off your clothes
Melody’s back stiffened. Take off my clothes?”
Ken nced at her with a half smile. “What haven’t I seen of yours?”
Melody’s cheeks instantly turned red.
They had just met, and they had already seen each other naked….
But the circumstances were different then.
Melody tried to stay calm and said seriously, “I don’t think I’m injured enough to need your help, so please give me the medicine and I’ll take care of it myself.”
