Chapter 244
Melody didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone understood her warning perfectly
Bary was so
was so scared that he immediately wet his pants. <b>He </b><b>shouted</b>, “Uncle, <b>save </b>met This woman is a devil. She really will kill me?
Sering Bary’s light–colored pants turn dark, Benny frowned and scolded, “Uveleuf“:
Melody raised her chin slightly. “3

“Uncle!” Bary shouted hoarsely
Benny gritted his teeth and said furiously, “Step back<b>!</b><b>”</b>
if Bary weren’t his only nephew and the Lawrence family only had one male descendant in this generation, he wouldn’t bother with this ineless
waste of life!
The group of people who had been eyeing Melody <b>warily </b>retreated upon Benny’smand. They stopped only when they were nearly 430 feet <b>away </b>from Melody.
“Can you let him go now?” Benny shouted.
Melody bent down and <b>yanked </b>Bary up from the ground. As she moved, a foul smell hit her.
Melody wrinkled her <b>nose </b>and held her <b>breath</b><b>. </b>She kicked <b>Bary </b>in the back without warning Cought off guard, Bary fell to the ground,nding awkwardly.
Without pausing. Melody turned and ran towards the <b>road</b>, Shodud no car or driver’s license, svo ninning was her only option.
<b>“</b><b>Go </b>after her?” Benny’s shout came from behind.
Melody immediately picked up her pace, sprinting with all her might towards the highway
y There were many cars on the road. If she could dag down one, she might escape this crisis.
Melody ran swiftly, quickly distancing herself from the pursuing group
‘Let’s see where you can run! <b>Bitch</b>!” Benny caught up:
However.
several cars ignored her frantic waves and passed by her.
Melody prepared to run again but soon heard the sound of a motorcycle engine. They were <b>using </b>motorcycles to chase after her.
She couldn’t outrun a motorcycle. Melody’s heart tightened, but all she could do was keep pushing forward.
Benny didn’t <b>seem </b>to be in a hurry to catch her. He deliberately toyed with her, riding the motorcycle behind her, neither too close nor too far
After <b>running </b>for a long time. Melody’s stamina began to falter. Her speed noticeably slowed down, Bennyughed loudly from behind. “Keep running! Let’s see how long you can keep this up!”
As he spoke, the sound of the engine grew louder. Benny <b>was </b>elerating.
Melody didn’t look back, but she could feel lenny charging straight towards her. He was going to ram her.
Melody clenched her teeth and pushed herself to run faster. But the reflection of the streetlights told her that Benny was less than a feet away.
an MPV with its headlights shing came speeding towards her
Just then
The headlights dazzled Melody. But in the next instant she realized something was wrong. This car…
Narrowing her eyes, Melody spotted a gende slope by the roadside not far ahead. Without hesitation, she protected her head with both hands and rolled down the <b>slope</b>
The nest sound she heard was a series of collisions and screeching brakes on the mad, followed by Benny’s <b>cry </b>of
ny’s <b>cry </b>of pain.
Melody rubbed her sore <b>knee </b>and looked towards the road.
She saw Benny had been kicked back over six feet by the MPV and was on the ground, clutching his head in pain. It seemed he wasn’t in mortal danger, pulping by how loudly he was shouting.
Melody attempted to push herself up with one hand. But before she could stand, the door of the MPV opened, and someone quickly got out
bradlights: Melody could only see a tall figure walking towards her against the light. Though she couldnt see his are clearly, Melody was

“Are you okay? Can you get up?” The man approached her, extending hisrge hand.
Melody lifted her gaze <b>and </b>met Ken’s eyes. He frowned, looking very

In an instant, her tense nerves rxed, yet her heart raced faster than before.
Tim fine.” Melody swallowed <b>and </b>hesitated for a moment before <b>taking </b>Ken’s hand. His palm <b>was </b>cool and slightly sweaty.
Once she was fully on her feet, Melody withdrew her hand as if she’d been shocked, then looked <b>away</b><b>, </b>asking, “How did you know I <b>was </b>here?”
“Wilmot.” Ken only mentioned Wilmot’s name, and Melody understood everything.
Wilmot had been worried about her, so he must <b>have </b>informed Ken about her actions tonight.
She had already died once. She considered herself unafraid of death, but if Ken hadn’te, she would have been <b>reluctant </b>to meet her end at the hands of someone as insignificant <b>as </b>Benny.
She said. “Thank you.”
“You’re thanking me now?” Ken frowned, circling her once to confirm <b>that </b>she only had minor injuries on her knees. Then he asked in a low voice, “What happened? Weren’t you just supposed to buy something?”
Melody briefly recounted the incident in the simplest terms. Then she <b>said</b>, “I didn’t expect Bary to show up.”
Ken took a deep breath, his voicemanding as <b>he </b>said, “From now on, <b>you </b>are not allowed to do anything dangerous alone.”
“I…“. Before she could finish her sentence, several MPVs pulled up behind Ken’s,
James, who was leading them, spotted the two and hurriedly asked, “Mr. Swanson! Miss Fox! Are you both okay?”
We’re fi
“We’re fine.” Ken nced sideways, gesturing for James to check on Benny’s condition.
James acknowledged and went over to Benny with a few others.
Melody took a step forward, but Ken grabbed her wrist firmly.

Melody hesitated for <b>a </b>moment, remembering Ken’s words about not allowing her to do anything dangerous alone<b>. </b>She nodded slowly. I’ll do my

“Your best?” Ken’s expression darkened further.
Melody sighed and lowered her head. “I understand. In the future, if I se
sense any danger, I’ll inform you or have James apany me.”
Ken’s expression softened slightly at this assurance. Then, Melody walked towards the road.
“Help me…” Meanwhile, Benny reached out to James, feeling like he was about to die from the pain.
<b>James </b>arrivedte and didn’t know what had happened earlier. But from the scene, he could tell that this member of the Lawrence family <b>had </b>intended <b>harm </b>toward Melody.
Though the Lawrence family had their distinctions, the Swanson family usually treated them politely. However, if <b>conflicts </b>arose, they would disregard the Lawrence family

James stepped directly onto Benny’s wrist, squatting <b>down </b>while yfully saying, “Safetyes wear a helmet when <b>riding </b>a bike.
Benny screamed like a pig being ughtered. Once the pain eased somewhat, he shouted angrily, “Bastard! Do you know who I am? How dare you step on me! Are you looking to die?”
Before he could fish his sentence, a low, cold voice cut in. “Do you know who I am?”
