Chapter <b>211</b>
Seeing that Russell and Mable’s rtionship had eased so easily, Ynda was secretly pleased. She echoed, “Mabel learns all kinds of subjects. There will always be some subjects that she can’t master. I will supervise her. Don’t you still have a meeting at yourpany? Don’t waste time here.”
Russell raised his wrist to look at the time and said, “Then I’ll go to the office for a meeting. I might be backte.”
Ynda eagerly helped him get his coat and watched Russell leave.
As soon as Russell left, Ynda stopped smiling and looked at Melody coldly. “You’re quite lucky, but don’t think that you can get Miss Hanson’s favor just like that.”
Melody said expressionlessly, “Are you done, Ynda? I’m going to see Grandma.”
Ynda’s lips twitched. “That’s true. Only Maria cares about you the most here. You need to visit her more often. However… do you really think that victory is in Wilmot’s hands?<b>”</b>
Melody raised her eyelids and said with a faint smile, “I didn’t expect you to be so worried about me. I will definitely work hard to find the mastermind behind this! I believe Ynda will also want to know who is behind this, right?”
Ynda’s expression froze. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand!”
Melody patted Ynda’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “The heavens are watching. There are no secrets in this world.”
Ynda’s face darkened, but she quickly revealed a mocking smile. “You’re indeed a smart person, but so what? I only need a phone call to make one of your supporters copse. What about you? Speaking of which… Wilmot can allow you to mess around to sign the bet agreement. Looks like he’s really stupid to believe a fool like you! But it’s toote for you to regret now. The bet has already begun. Let’s see what you’ll do in a week!”
Melody pped her hands. “Ynda, you have surely impressed an idiot like me! However, it’s still uncertain if my backer will fall. Why don’t we wait and see?”
Ynda snorted and said, “Then we’ll see! You’ll know the price of the bet very soon!”
Melody raised her eyebrows. She did not waste any more time with Ynda and walked towards the backyard.
Ynda gritted her teeth as she looked at Melody’s back.
She thought, ‘Just you wait! Once Wilmot falls and Maria dies, let’s see if you can still be so arrogant!‘
Thinking about Maria, Ynda immediately remembered about the poison.
After instructing Mabel to go out for the dance ss, she quickly restrained her expression and went upstairs to get the ck market’s pass. Then, she took a taxi and left.
As soon as Ynda went out, Melody received a report from James. “Ynda is out. Do you need me to follow her?”
The corners of Melody’s lips curled up. She could guess why Ynda went out.
She said calmly, “Don’t let anyone follow her. It wasn’t easy for the fish to take the bait. Don’t scare it <b>away</b>.”? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
When James heard this, he recalled the ck market stall owner he had seen at the cafest time and instantly understood what Melody meant.
He held his phone tightly and said, “Miss Fox, I have to remind you that you’re also breaking the ck market’s rules, so I hope you can tell Mr. Ken about this yourself.”
At the mention of Ken, Melody couldn’t bring herself tough.
She hummed coldly and called Ken after hanging up.
<b>At </b>Serenity Vi, Susan was asking Ken, “Mr. Ken, what do you want to eat for dinner? I’m going out to buy groceries now.”
Ken looked up from the document. “Isn’t there oatmeal left over from lunch? Heat it up. I’ll eat that tonight.”
<b>Susan </b>looked surprised.
She thought, ‘Did something happen to Mr. <b>Ken’s </b>career? Since when did he need to eat leftovers for dinner?‘
However<b>, </b>she did not <b>dare </b><b>to </b><b>ask </b>further<b>. </b>After <b>agreeing</b>, she went to heat up the <b>oatmeal</b>.
The <b>next </b>second, Melody called Ken. Ever since Melody left<b>, </b>Ken had felt that something was wrong with Melody<b>, </b>but he could not tell what exactly

was wrong. Now that Melody called, he immediately put down the document and answered the call.
“Hello?” His voice <b>was </b>calm and emotionless.
Melody did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. Then, she asked, “Will I break the ck market’s rules?”
After Ken heard this, he said casually, “The offline ck market is not important. Just don’t burn it down.”
On the other end of the line, Melody <b>was </b>stunned. She did not expect Ken to agree <i>so </i>readily.
Ken did not hear Melody’s reply. He held his phone tightly and asked, “What? Are you really going to set fire <i>to </i>it?”
“No, no…” Melody quickly said, “That’s not what I meant. Thank you.”
In the next second, the two of them spoke almost at the same time.
Ken asked, “Are you free tonight?”
Melody said, “I got to go.”
Melody paused and asked, “What do you need tonight?”
Ken said. “There’s a dinner party that I need to bring a femalepanion to.”
Melody subconsciously asked, “Doesn’t Miss Murphy have time?”
After she said this, Ken was silent for <b>two </b>seconds before he said, “She has just returned to the country and is not used to the environment. She will stay at home to rest during recently.”
Melody asked, “Rest?”
She didn’t believe <i>that</i>.
Melody pursed her lips and reminded him, “<b>If </b>Miss Murphy is not well, you can find someone else, right? With my look, if you bring me to the banquet, I’m afraid I’ll be theughingstock of the Silveke tomorrow.”
Ken asked, “You have time to help Wilmot make a bet, but you don’t have time to go to a banquet?”
Melody was stunned. “You know<b>?</b><b>”</b>
Ken did not respond to this and only said, “I will pay you 200 thousand dors toe with me, and… Zack will be there.”
Melody gritted her teeth. “What time? What do I need to prepare<b>?</b><b>”</b>
A smile appeared in Ken’s eyes, but when he thought of Wilmot, he could not bring himself to smile. He said in an emotionless tone, “There’s <b>no </b>need to prepare anything. I’ll arrange for clothes, jewelry, and makeup artists to be sent to the Fox family. Just wait at home.”
<b>“</b>Alright,” Melody paused for a moment and said, “There’s no need for a makeup artist. With my <b>face</b>, there’s no difference whether <b>I </b>put on makeup
or not.
Ken said, <b>“</b>Alright.”
After the <b>call </b>ended, Melody felt that Ken had too much money to spend.
She hoped that there would be such a banquet for her to attend every day if she was paid 200 thousand dors every time.
She <b>put </b><b>away </b>her phone and walked into Maria’s room.
Maria was chatting with Hattie Meyer. When she saw her enter<b>, </b>a smile immediately appeared on her face.
Melody chatted with <b>Maria </b>for <b>a </b>while before checking her condition.
She was much better <b>than </b>before<b>, </b>and her diarrhea was almostpletely cured. <b>Now</b><b>, </b>Melody only needed to <b>slowly </b>clean <b>up </b>the remaining poison and carefully nurse Maria back to health. Soon, Maria wouldpletely <b>recover</b>.
Melody heaved <b>a </b><b>sigh </b>of <b>relief </b>and <b>said</b><b>, </b><b>“</b>Grandma, your illness has mostly recovered. I’ll change the prescription <b>for </b><b>you </b><b>tomorrow</b>. After another month <b>of </b>taking it, <b>you </b><b>can </b>go out with <b>Margaret </b>again.”
Maria nodded happily. Her turbid eyes were <b>covered </b><b>with </b>a <byer </b><b>of </b>mist<b>. </b>She held Melody’s hand and said, <b>“</b><b>You </b>saved my life<b>.”</b>
Melody said, “Don’t <b>say </b>such things<b>. </b>If it <b>weren’t </b>for you<b>, </b>where would my father and <b>I </b><be </b><b>from</b>?<b>”</b>

Hattie wiped her tears and said, “Miss Melody is so nice to you. Mrs. Maria, don’t <b>say </b>such things. You only need to take the medicine and Miss Melody will be happy.”
Melody nodded with a smile.
At this moment, the butler came in to report, “Mrs. Maria, Miss Melody, there’s a group of guests outside. They said that Mr. Swanson called them over. Mr. Russell and Mrs. Ynda are not at home, what should we do?”
“Mr. Swanson? Which Mr. Swanson?” Maria asked suspiciously.
Melody immediately guessed that they were sent by Ken.
She stood up
and said, “Grandma, they are here for me. I’ll get back to work.”
Maria was stunned for a moment. It was not until Melody’s figure disappeared from her sight that she could not help but cover her mouth andugh.
Hattie asked in confusion, “Mrs. Maria, what are you smiling for?”
Maria smiled and said, “Something good is about to happen to my granddaughter. What do you think I’m smiling for?”
Hattie asked in surprise, “You mean, Miss Melody and Mr. Ulric…”
