Chapter 190
Melody coldly nced at Ynda, whose face looked unsightly, then turned to Russell and said, “Dad, <b>I </b>haven’t used <b>a </b>single penny for these fifteen houses. All this money came from gifts Mr. Swanson gave me as tokens of appreciation, many of which I <b>couldn’t </b><b>use</b>. After <b>consulting </b>with Mr. Swanson. I sold many <b>of </b>the gifts he gave me, and that’s where this money came from. If you don’t believe me, Mr. Swanson is here: you can <b>ask </b>him yourself if this is true,”
Russell, not caring about the source of the money, <b>joyously </b>eximed, “<b>My </b>dear daughter, what’s there to question: 1 definitely believe you!”
Melody smiled sarcastically.
She had previously been certain that the houses in Eastern Garden would skyrocket in value <b>because </b>she knew the Olympic <b>main </b><b>venue </b>would be built nearby.
Today, when Russell returned, the news about the main venue <b>was </b>announced, and coincidentally, Errol <b>came </b>directly to <b>thank </b>her.
It could be said that she had the right time, <b>ce</b>, and people <b>today</b>.
The heavens were helping her.
However, this matter would not <b>end </b>so easily.
Melody raised her eyebrows. “It’s beat if you believe me. However, Ynda’s <b>card </b><b>is </b>missing 4 million dors for no reason. This is <b>not </b><b>a </b>small matter. It’s best to find out
Ken said unhurriedly. “What <b>a </b>coincidence. The Swanson Group owns a bank, and we have a good rtionship with other banks. If you want to check the <b>ounts</b>, I can just make a call”
Mabel, who had been silent, spoke with a panicked expression. “Let’s not trouble Mr. Swanson. It’s alreadyte <b>today</b><b>, </b><b>and </b>this is a family matter. We’ll investigate it tomorrow. Perhaps Mom remembered incorrectly… Let’s not let this misunderstanding linger.”
Ynda looked at Mabel in confusion.
She was sure she hadn’t made a mistake and had even gone to the bank to check. Indeed, 4 million dors had been withdrawn.
Mabel’s reaction gave Ynda a bad feeling.
She instinctively wanted to follow Mabel’s words, but Ken had already dialed a <b>number</b>. While waiting for the other end to pick up, he said, “Is it just a misunderstanding? We’ll find out with a quick check. Don’t worry, it’s just a matter of a phone call. I don’t find it troublesome.”
Russell also felt it best to rify the matter of the 4 million dors. He quickly thanked Mr. Swanson, saying. Thank you very much, Mr. Swanson Sorry to trouble you…”
Ken nodded <b>and </b>coincidentally, the call connected. He briefly exined the situation and then asked Ynda, “What is your card number?”
“Um…” Ynda nced <b>at </b>Mabel, who appeared on the verge of tears.
She immediately concluded that Mabel had taken the 4 million dors.
For a moment, Ynda panicked as well
However, under the pressure of Russell, she <b>could </b><b>only </b>take out her bank card.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
With the card number provided, the <b>bank </b>quickly essed the records, and a video recording was promptly sent over.
Ken casually nced at the video and then smirked, ncing towards Mabel
“How interesting…”
Mabel’s body trembled, and her face turned pale.
She knew it <b>was </b>over,
Russell didn’t understand why Ken said that. He quickly stepped forward to <b>take </b><b>a </b>look.
When he watched the video and saw <b>Mabel </b>repeatedly withdrawing money from the ATM until she almost filled a sack with cash before leaving. Russell’s face turned ashen with shock <b>and </b>disbelief.
He borrowed Ken’s phone and showed it in front of Ynda. “Take <b>a </b>look for yourself!”

Maria could <b>not </b><b>sit </b><b>still </b>anymore. With Hattie’s help, she stood up and went forward to check the video.
After watching the video, her expression did not look any better than Russell’s.
“Mabell” Maria said angrily and disappointedly, “<b>You </b>were the one who withdrew the money. Why didn’t you say anything after the matter blew up for so long? Are you just going to watch your sister be suspected and pped? What are you thinking!”
Maria was truly disappointed. Despite not being close to Mabel all along, she still cared for her
But, Mabel’s behavior today made herpletely lose her <b>sympathy </b>for her.
Mabel’s shoulders trembled from the scolding. She was not as mentally prepared as Melody. She immediately cried out in fear, calling out to
Ynda, “Mom…
Ynda <b>hesitated</b>, feeling frustrated but unable to me her daughter. She forced herself to speak up. “Russell, this is all a misunderstanding. I didn’t rify <b>things </b>properly. Mabel is usually very social and spends a lot: She might have forgotten to tell me. As for why she didn’t speak up carlier, she must have been scared. You know she’s timid..”
Russell had pinned most of his hopes on Mabel marrying into the Swanson <b>family</b>. Despite disliking Mabel’s actions, he didn’t me her too much<b>.</b>
Just as they <b>were </b>about to brush this matter off, Ken spoke indifferently. Timid? Huh. Mrs. Fox, being timid is one thing, but allowing Melody to be used and scolded for something Mabel did seems quite different, doesn’t in?”
Upon hearing Ken’s words, Russell found himself unable to let it go.
“Mr. Swanson, 1 will educate my daughter severely and make things clear
her
Ken raised his right eyebrow and said. Indeed, we should educate her severely. The news of her taking Mr. Lawrence’s <b>bracelet </b>has spread like wildfire. At <b>that </b>time, I didn’t believe that she could do such a thing, so I specially sent someone to investigate in secret. I didn’t expect that it was <b>really </b>her who took the bracelet. Not only that, she even ndered Melody by putting it on her and exposing it in public. If we don’t educate such a daughter, <b>I’m </b>afraid she’ll be in trouble in the future”
Russell was <b>taken </b>aback
He had no idea what happened after <b>that</b><b>.</b>
“You two!” Russell grinted his teeth. Are you treating me like a Fool?”
Ynda and Mabel were both shocked, but under Ken’s pressure, they did not dare to directly refute. Ynda said. “Russell, it’s all a misunderstanding. Mabel didn’t steal anything She found the bracelet
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear any more excuses! From today onwards, both of you better reflect on your actions! If you don’t reflect properly. I bet you’ll receive severe consequences!”
Melody sneered inwardly.
In such a huge scandal, if it were on herself, her father would be “wishing to strangle” her, but for her mother <b>and </b>sister, it’s just a light and fluffy “reflection“.
He was such a good father.
She felt like apuding for Russell.
Russell did not notice Melody’s gaze. He only said to Ken awkwardly, “Mr. Swanson, 1 apologize for <b>today’s </b>embarrassment. I’ll definitely educate <b>my </b>wife and daughter. Please don’t tell <b>anyone </b>about what happened today…”
“Don’t worry” Ken shrugged <b>and </b>said, “Melody is the <b>Swanson </b>family’s benefactor. For her sake, I won’t say a word about today’s incident to anyone.”
Russell heaved a sigh of relief and <b>gave </b>Melody a grateful look.
He had <b>thought </b>that his daughter <b>was </b>a piece of rubble, but he did not expect her to be a <b>pearl</b>.
He would never hit or scold Melody so easily in the future.
However, in the next moment, <b>Ken </b><b>said </b>mockingly. “But for a mere 4 million dors, you actually hit your daughter. It truly opens my <b>eyes</b>…”
