 However, she only saw a look of confusion on Melody’s face.

 Melody said. “Ynda, what the hell are you talking about? I can count on my fingers the ces I’ve been to recently, but I’ve never been to a gambling house.”

 Ynda thought, You still refuse to admit it before your doom!”

 ‘Let’s see how long you can keep up the ac?f

 Ynda cursed in her heart but said calmly. Is

 sly. “Is that so! Then tell me, where did you go at ten past ten on the morning of the 18th!”

 Melody thought for two seconds and said. “I met a friend who took me to karaoke bar to sing. But I don’t like noisy asions, so I left not long after.”

 “The morning of the 18th

 When Russell heard this, he could not help but be stunned.

 Wasn’t Silveke’srgest underground gambling house built under a karaoke bar!

 He immediately frowned. “Ynda, are you mistaken? Although Melody has many bad habits, she can’t go to such a ce

 “Russell! Don’t be fooled by her. She went there the day after I lost 4 million dors. Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence! Besides, if the butler is right, the friend she mentioned should be a man, right?” Ynda yelled,

 “A man” Russell’s expression tumed gloomy again. “Did you actually hang out with a stranger man!“

 Melody said calmly, “Dad, he’s not a stranger man. He’s my friend.”

 Ynda sneered and said, “Friend? A friend who asked you to steal money from your family y and bring you to the gambling house! That’s really good friend!”

 Melody looked up at Ynda. “If you.

 you and Dad don’t believe me,

 I can get him toe over now and exin the karaoke bar incident.”

 “Ha. Ynda sneered. “What an excuse. Who knows if you’ve colluded with him in advance?”

 “Ahem!” Maria coughed, her eyes filled with warning.

 Ynda restrained her emotions and said, “Then call him over now,

 have to put him on speaker.

 “Sure.” Melody nodded slightly and dialed James’s number in front of everyone. “Hello,e to my house. Now

 With th

 that, she hung up.

 It was clean and straightforward. Without any unnecessary words, it was impossible for there to be any so–called “colluding in advance.

 Ynda sneered. She did not think that Melody had any chance of turning the tables.

 Besides, even if Melody managed to fool them, she had a trump card to y.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.

 The living room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Only the sound of Maria sitting on the sofa could be heard.

 Ynda looked at Maria’s nimble movements: Maria did not look like someone who was about to die at all, and Ynda could not help but frown.

 with the medicine she boughtst time! Could it be that there was really something wrong

 What a damn drug dealer! Ynda cursed in her heart.

 At this moment, there was a knock

 k on the door.

 Everyone in the living room looked at the door in unison.

 The person was tall and strong. His windbreaker carried the night breeze. The moment he entered, the air in the living room seemed to plummet.

 The moment Ynda saw who it was, her eyes widened. ‘How could it be him? Could this be a coincidence!

 Melody also looked slightly surprised. ‘Why is Ken here! I called James…

 “Mr. Swanson“” Russell reacted quickly and stepped forward with a fawning smile. “Mr. Swanson, why did you make a special trip here in the middle of the night?”

 He did not associate Melody’s “friend” with Ken at all.

 Ken’s gaze swept across everyone’s faces. After staring at Melody’s face for two seconds, he turned to look at Russell and said, “Melody called me:

 The corners of Russell’s mouth twitched. He looked at Melody with a stiff smile and asked, “Melody, is the friend you mentioned… Mr. Swanson?”

 Melody had already reacted and nodded I naturally. Then, she slowly said. “He invited us that day. His assistant, James, took me to the karaoke bar to sing. I left after staying for a while. I didn’t go to the gambling house that Ynda mentioned. I don’t even know where the door to the gambling house is. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Ken and James,”

 James then entered. When he heard this, he instantly understood Melody’s arrangement that day.

 Russell looked embarrassed. He turned around and red at Ynda. Then, he quickly put on a fawning smile and said, “Mr. Swanson, it’s a misunderstanding. My family thought that Melody went somewhere she shouldn’t have

 <ol>

 <li>me. Since it was your party,</li>

 </ol>

 I’m relieved.”

 “Impossible…” Ynda blurted out indignantly. However, she was so frightened by Russell’s gaze that she swallowed her words.

 Ken looked at Ynda with a faint smile. “Mrs. Fox doesn’t seem to trust me very much. Although I have a ridiculous reputation, Miss Fox is my grandmother’s savior. I definitely won’t lead her astray. To be honest, I invited Miss Fox to sing that day to thank her. However, Miss Fox has a reserved personality and is not suitable for such an asion, so I let her leave when I saw that she was ufortable.

 “Since you don’t think it’s good, I won’t interact with Miss Fox anymore in the future. I don’t want my good intentions to ruin things”

 “No, no?” Russell quickly said. “That’s not true! I don’t believe that Melody would go to a ce like the gambling house either. After you said it, we won’t suspect her anymore!

 No matter how capable Melody is, it’s impossible for her to let someone as arrogant as Ken lie for her Russell firmly believed this.

 When Maria heard this, she nced sideways at Russell. Russell became even more embarrassed and furious.

 Of course, his anger was directed at Ynda

 He should not have believed Ynda’s nonsenset

 However, Ynda was his wife. After some deliberation, he pushed the me to the butler. “Stupid thing! You didn’t even understand the situation and started gossiping. We almost misunderstood that Melody really went to the gambling house?”

 As soon as he finished speaking, Russell kicked the butler’s leg

 The butler took a step back in pain and almost lost his bnce.

 However, he couldn’t care about the pain and bowed repeatedly to apologize. “Tm sorry! Mrs. Fox, Mr. Fox, Miss Melody, it’s all my fault! I didn’t figure out the cause and effect and directly reported it to Mrs. Fox. I’m willing to refund my sry for the first half of the year as an apology…”

 “Enough!” Maria impatiently waved her hand and Interrupted. After telling the butler to get lost, she turned to look at Ynda and said, “Ynda, you are also responsible for this matter. You should also apologize to Melody.”

 Ynda’s expression was displeased. She was still unwilling to believe Ken’s words, but Ken’s identity was not questionable. If she continued to question him, she was afraid that she would be in deep trouble.

 She gritted her teeth and was unwilling to let her scheme go to waste. She immediately decided to use her trump card and destroy Melody’s image in the hearts of the Swanson family people.

 Ynda ignored Russell’s previous warning. She braced herself and said, “Maria, I was indeed wrong in this matter. I shouldn’t have believed the butler’s words and believed that Melody went to the gambling house. However, the 4 million dors that I lost in my card was definitely stolen by Melody!”
