Chapter 129

At the same time, Melody’s gaze slowly landed on the female salesperson.

The saleswoman suddenly had an ominous feeling.

As expected, in the next moment, Melody said, “Your environment is not bad, but the quality of your sales staff needs to be improved. I originally wanted to buy more properties, but now it seems that ten is enough…”

Errol was stunned, but he quickly realized what Melody meant.

He stopped and pointed at the bewildered saleswoman. “You are fired!”

Although the female salesperson had guessed this outcome, she still widened her eyes in disbelief, “Manager, you want me to quit?”

“Didn’t I make myself clear? Why aren’t you leaving?” Errol gave the security guards a look. The security guards immediately stepped forward and took the saleswoman away.

The saleswoman became angry under immense despair. “Little bitch, don’t be smug! Why don’t you go downtown and buy a house there? You actually bought so many houses in a dilapidated building like the Eastern Garden that will definitely make you lose money. You’re really stupid. I’ll wait for you to lose everything. At that time, you’ll be even worse than me!”

Errol urged the security guard with an ugly expression, “Throw her out quickly!”

The saleswoman was thrown out directly, and the door cut off her voice.

Melody was about to continue signing the contract when she heard Errol say hesitantly, “Miss Fox, are you really sure you want to buy it? The value of this building in Eastern Carden… is falling. The location of this neighborhood is poor, and the surrounding facilities are not perfect. Indeed, many people don’t think highly of it. Do you need to wait and see?”

Upon hearing this, Melody could not help but look at Errol

As a sales manager, it was rare for him to persuade her to not purchase these properties instead of only caring about his sales numbers.

At the thought of this, Melody kindly reminded him, “I know about the situation in the Eastern Garden, but if you’re willing to believe me and have spare money on hand, it’s best for you to buy a property there too. I guarantee that you’ll earn money.”

Errol’s smile froze. It was obvious that he did not believe what she said. He only refused tactfully. Imm just a salesperson. How can I have so much money? You think too highly of me.”

Melody stopped. It was not convenient for her to reveal more, so she did not continue persuading him.

The contract was signed very smoothly. In addition, her guardian was currently not Russell, but Maria. So there was no need for her to care about Russell while buying properties.

After signing the contract, Melody used the money Mabel spent on the black market to buy two more houses. Errol looked at her as if he was looking at a rare animal in a zoo. Under Errol’s gaze, she took a car and headed in the direction of the Swanson family.

When she arrived at the Swanson family, it was already lunchtime.

Margaret knew that she was coming today and had been waiting at the door.

When she saw Melody, she immediately went up to her. “Melody, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you for so long!” Melody liked Margaret very much. She smiled gently and said, I originally planned to come over early, but the traffic was too heavy.

The traffic in Silverlake is like this, Sometimes it’s faster to walk than to take a car! That’s why I asked you to move over. You don’t have to spend so much time on the road that way” Margaret found an opportunity to mention moving her over, so Melody could only refuse. Grandma’s health it too good. I’m worried about her if I move over.

When Margaret heard this she did not force her. She said regretfully. “Forget it, forget it. When your grandmother recovers, it won’t be too late for you to move over and accompany me for a while. I’ve recovered now, and I feel that I can live for another 10 years.

Melody smiled and nodded. Definitely.

Margaret was in a good mood and led her through the door.

When she reached the living room, Melody saw Ulric sitting in the wheelchair with his back facing her.

Since the person who killed her was right in front of her, hatred spread from her toes to her brain. At the same time, the suffocation and fear before death echoed clearly in her mind.

Melody tried her best to clench her fists and suppress her complicated emotions, but her hands could not stop trembling.

This was not the first time she had seen Ulric, but every time they met, her emotions would still fluctuate greatly.

Fortunately. Margaret did not notice her abnormality. She held her arm affectionately and said. I’ve asked the kitchen to make your favorite dishes. I don’t know if they suit your taste. Tell me what you like to eat later. Come another day. and I’ll get the kitchen to make them for you.”

Melody nodded and shook her head. I’ll eat anything, I’m not picky

What a good girl, Margaret liked Melody, so no matter what Melody did she found it pleasing.

Ulric heard the commotion and looked up at her. Then he revealed a warm smile “Miss Fox, welcome.

Melody really wanted to tear apart his disguise to avoid disgust.

She nodded expressionlessly as a greeting.

Ulric did not comment on Melody’s attitude.

However, he never understood why Melody looked at him coldly the first time they met. There seemed to be a hint of hatred mixed in that coldness.

He thought. Even though Melody is on Ken’s side, she shouldn’t hate me so much, right?

While Margaret went to have the medicine. Ulric couldn’t help but say “Miss Fox, is there a misunderstanding between us?

At this moment. Melody had already concealed her emotions very well.

She smiled and said. I don’t seem to be familiar with you. Where did this misunderstanding come from?”

But…Ulric wanted to ask more, but Margaret had finished her medicine at the coffee table and came over. He could only swallow his words.

Melody, why are you standing there? Sit down and eat” Margaret greeted her warmly

Melody noticed that Ramon Swanson and Astrid Swanson were not around. She pretended to ask casually. “Aren’t Ramon and Astrid coming for dinner?

Margaret sighed and said, “Don’t mention it. Ramon has been on a business trip for two days. As for Astrid… she went to find a doctor to treat Ulric’s leg”

At the mention of the doctor, Margaret’s eyes suddenly lit up. She asked Melody, “Melody, can you take a look at Ulric’s legs? Your medical skills are so good. Perhaps you can treat his legs!”

Ulric was her biological grandson after all. Even if he was not as considerate as Ken and Melody, she still sincerely hoped that Ulric’s legs would recover quickly.

When Ulric heard Margaret’s words, his heart skipped a beat. He looked up at Melody with hope in his eyes.

Although he did not think that Melody’s medical skills were superb, it was easy for people to have hope when they were in despair.

Melody felt Ulric’s gaze and sneered in her heart.

She thought, ‘In my previous life, Ulric’s legs were cured by me, want him to remain cripple for the rest of his life this time!

She pretended to be regretful and said, “Margaret, I want to help too, but unfortunately… I haven’t learned about orthopedics, so I’m afraid I can’t help much.”

Margaret nodded regretfully. “That’s true. If you could treat it, you would have mentioned it long ago.”

Ulric, who was sitting opposite her, pondered over Melody’s words and suddenly asked, “Who did you learn your medical skills from?”

Melody’s fork paused for a moment before she replied naturally “Most of my medical skills were self–learned, and some of them were learned from doctors in the countryside. The place used to live in was beautiful and there were often doctors coming to pick herbs, so I have many teachers, I wonder which one you are referring to?”

This answer was no different from not answering Ulric had completely lost hope for Melody.

He thought, “It was probably a coincidence that Melody could cure Margaret. Or perhaps, Grandma’s illness was suitable for traditional medicine. Any doctor in that area could cure it. Melody definitely didn’t have the ability to cure my legs. Of course, there is another possibility that Melody can treat my leg, but she is unwilling to. However, the possibility is slim. If Melody can do it, wouldn’t the famous doctors who treated me be a joke?

Thinking of this, Ulric lost interest and stopped asking. He lowered his head and ate.

However, for some reason, the woman in front of him was clearly extremely ugly, but he was inexplicably attracted to her. After eating a few mouthfuls, he subconsciously began to pay attention to her every move.

He even noticed that she didn’t like green peppers and ginger and would deliberately avoid them when eating.

When Ulric realized that he had paid too much attention to Melody, he felt a little frustrated.

He thought, ‘Melody is on Ken’s side. Perhaps I am paying attention to her because I want to take everything that belongs to Ken, including this ugly woman!
