Chapter 283

“Ken, I’m not a saint. If you want me to let bygones be

bygones and be friends with her, I can give it a try. But the condition is, as you said, she must stop bothering me,” said Melody

“I’ll convey that to her” Ken hesitated, then said, “James probably told you, she’s ill.”

Melody smirked inwardly but kept a neutral expression.

“Let’s wait until James returns from his business trip to discuss further. He still owes me something. Once that is settled, you’ll understand things aren’t as they seem. I’ll take my leave now.” said Melody,

“Wait, there’s one more thing,” Ken added.

“Go ahead,” Melody said patiently.

Ken continued, “Mrs. Fox asked me about Cadence several times. Ulric is also pressuring the mental hospital. I’m afraid she’ll be released soon.”

“I understand. I’ll keep an eye on it.” Melody replied.

After Melody finished speaking, she left without delay, smoothly exiting the car.

Ken looked at Melody’s departing figure and recalled the divorce that Melody had mentioned.

Ken’s dark eyes were misty, and no one could tell what he was thinking.

After a while, the business car started and disappeared into the night.

It was already one-thirty in the morning, and the Fox family people were already asleep.

Melody didn’t have the key to the Fox family and she didn’t want to ask the servants to open the door, so she climbed over the wall into the backyard.

To Melody’s surprise, she saw a figure standing under the tree, a strong smell of smoke wafting from them.

It was Mabel. She was smoking and did not expect Melody to be climbing over the wall.

Mabel’s eyes widened in shock, she quickly destroyed the evidence of her smoking, then immediately accused, “Melody, why are you sneaking around like a thief at night? What kind of behaviour is this for a young lady? Are you doing something shameful, that you can’t use the front door and have to climb over the wall?”

Melody said expressionlessly, “I thought after our last lesson, you would have quit smoking.”

On Melody’s first day here, she had exposed Mabel for smoking. At that time, Grandma and Russell were furious. Melody thought that Mabel had learned his lesson, but it seemed that that was not the case.

Upon hearing Melody’s words, Mabel’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

“Melody, what do you mean? Are you trying to slander me again? I didn’t smoke. If you have evidence, show it.”

Mabel had already thrown the cigarette butt far away when she discovered Melody. Mabel did not believe that Melody would find something to use against her like last time.

Melody said faintly, “I’ve been busy recently. It’s better if you don’t stir up trouble for me. Otherwise, you’ll regret it.”

“Do you think I have nothing better to do? Let me tell you the truth. I’m about to marry Ulric. When that happens, you’ll only have to kneel and beg for my forgiveness! Times have changed. Even if you expose me to smoking, Dad won’t blame me. If you don’t believe me, you can try.” After saying this, Mabel left the backyard in a swaggering manner.

A cold, sinister smile curled up at the corner of Mabel’s mouth.

In a few days, Pamela will be released from the detention center tomorrow. Just the Clark family alone was enough to make Melody suffer!

The more Mabel thought about it, the more pleased she became. She even started humming a song.

Melody glanced coldly in the direction where Mabel left. She turned her eyes away and walked back to her room.

After washing up, Melody didn’t feel sleepy. She decided to open the black market forum.

The last time she accepted an order on the forum, it was to attend a fan’s birthday banquet. She needed to attend as Morin Palmer.

The person who posted the bounty sent her two messages.

“I need to confirm. Can you get Morin to appear at my house?” the person asked.

“To prevent accidents, please send me some proof. Any random authentic work by Morin will suffice.”

Melody had just finished reading these two messages when the other party sent another message.

“Are you there?” the person asked.

It seemed that he was too anxious and he had been waiting for her online.

Instead of replying, Melody prepared ink and paper, casually painted a landscape, and signed it. She took a photo and sent it to the person.

Two minutes later, the other party sent ten exclamation marks in a row.

“I had someone authenticate it. It’s genuine! It is Morin’s painting style.” the person exclaimed.

Before Melody could reply, the other party sent another message.

“I was blind and didn’t trust you completely. Please don’t mind my rudeness. As an apology, I’ll transfer a portion of the money to you first.” the person said.

After reading the message, Melody’s system displayed that a 2 million dollar reward had been credited.

Truly a wealthy family’s child.

Melody did not refuse and directly clicked to confirm the receipt. The phone was immediately transferred to 2 million dollars.

Thanks,’ Melody replied.

The person replied fawningly, “You’re welcome, you’re welcome. Who wouldn’t be able to invite Morin? You must be extraordinary. This is just a small token of my appreciation.”

“You’re too kind.” Melody then replied.

After replying, Melody closed the chat box and clicked on the bounty section of the forum to see if there were any other jobs she could take.

Melody had just browsed the forum for two minutes when the chat window in the background shook twice with a new message from someone.

Melody thought that he was still the rich kid, but she realized that he was the person who had accepted the bounty for the first time.

She only spent a few minutes doing an advanced mathematics question and earned ten thousand dollars.

The person first sent a smiling face and then said, “Boss, I’ve posted a new reward, 200 thousand dollars. It was given to me by a science research teacher. Can you take a look and see if you can do it?”

Melody points entered this person’s latest bounty and found that it was a complicated physics question.

The difficulty was moderate for her, not particularly difficult, but it would take at least a day.

She replied to the person, “I can do it, but I’ve been busy lately. I’ll give you an answer in a week. If that works, I’ll take on this job.”

“Of course, it works. This bounty has been up for two days, and no one’s taken it. I can only find you, the boss.” the person replied.

The person said, sending a crying emoji.

Obviously, it was a girl.

Melody did not say anything else. After accepting the order, she left the forum.

Tonight, Melody had earned 2 million dollars out of thin air and accepted another 200 thousand dollars deal. She felt inexplicably better and finally fell asleep.

At the same time, in Mabel’s room.

When Mabel saw that her bounty had been accepted on the forum, she finally felt relieved.

She was now in her senior year, and because she was attached to an internship at the Justalion Group, she didn’t need to worry about schoolwork.

However, as graduation approached, there were more things to do.

Especially the last advanced mathematics question. She usually had average results in advanced mathematics, but because of that question, she was in the limelight in front of her mentor. Her mentor had the idea of introducing her to a national scientific research team.

The question this time was given to her by a scientific researcher she had never met before. Once Mabel solved this question, she believed that she would definitely be able to gain the other party’s favour.

Mabel had a dual degree in fashion design and physics. If she could excel in physics, she would be able to establish her Best Celebrity status and her father would also favour her more.

Thinking of this, Mabel fell asleep happily.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Melody was woken up by a dog barking.
