Chapter 356
Melody paused and said, “I do need your help with something. Shall we talk outside?”
There were many people on the production team, so it was not convenient for so many people to hear what she wanted to say.
Mason and Ruby nodded repeatedly. The three of them walked out together.
When Melody passed by Ken, Ken suddenly reached out and stopped her.
“Wait for me at the school gate. I have something to tell you.”
Melody nodded. “Okay.”
Ken’s sudden appearance here was definitely not a coincidence.
After Melody left, the crew looked in the direction she left with probing eyes as they tried to guess the relationship between the ugly woman and Ken.
At this moment, Ken said in a low voice, “Melody is my special assistant. If she comes to the production team again in the future, everything she says will be on my behalf. Do you understand?”
Everyone instantly stopped and said in unison, “Understood!”
Hearing this, Yana’s eyes flashed.
So that woman was Ken’s assistant…
To think that she had thought that Melody had a powerful background such that Ken had to give her face.
Since she was an assistant, things were easy to handle. Yana had been in the entertainment industry for more than three years, so dealing with an assistant was not a problem.
A cold light flashed across Yana’s eyes, but she concealed it well.
Just as she was thinking about how to avenge herself today, Tyler pulled her aside and warned her in a low voice, “Today’s matter is considered over. I believe that Mr. Swanson won’t easily expose your fake persona for the sake of the company. I’ll also apologize to President Taylor and ask him to forgive us. So in the future, you have to be careful when you do things. Don’t be like before, understand?”
Yana agreed on the surface, but she did not take Tyler’s words seriously at all.
She nodded casually. “I understand.”
At the same time, at the end of the corridor.
Ruby was the first to ask, “Melody, what do you need us
to help you with? As long as we can do it, we will definitely do it for you!”
Mason also nodded to express his attitude.
What he didn’t tell Melody was that after her treatment, he went to Insterimond’s hospital out of worry to check again.
Experts had told him that if his condition was not taken seriously, he would have become permanently blind.
If it wasn’t for Melody, Mason might have lost his sight by now. This gratitude made him want to do
something for Melody to express his thanks.
Melody looked at their sincere expressions and stated her needs.
“Actually, my face became like this because I was poisoned. There is a special herb needed to detoxify the poison, but this herb can only be found in the Taylor family.”
Mason’s eyelids twitched. He asked, “The herbs you’re talking about…Could it be our family’s secret, Green Velvet?”
“That’s right, it’s Green Velvet.”
When Mason heard this, he looked a little troubled.
Ruby, who was beside him, had never heard of “Green Velvet” before. She immediately agreed. “Isn’t it just herbs? We can give you as much as you want.”
“Ruby…” Mason explained with a complicated expression, “To be precise, Green Velvet isn’t a single herb, but a combination of many herbs. Only my father has the formula for Green Velvet.”
Ruby asked in confusion, “Then can’t we just ask Dad for it? The medicine is meant to treat illnesses. Won’t Dad be willing to give us the medicine?”
“That’s hard to say…Our family’s Green Velvet has always been used for auction. It’s very rare. Even I’ve only seen Green Velvet a few times. This is our family’s heirloom. Dad won’t take it out easily.”
Mason paused for a moment and said to Melody, “Miss Fox, don’t worry. Although I can’t get Green Velvet immediately, according to the usual practice in previous years, Green Velvet will be put up for auction very soon. I’ll bid for it for you then.”
“Alright, if you know the time of the auction, please let me know. I’ll go with you. I’ll pay for it myself.”
“That’s won’t do. If it weren’t for you, I might have gone blind. Take this as a thank-you gift from us. Please give us this chance.”
Melody could not refuse. She could only nod. “Alright, sorry to trouble you.”
“What are you talking about?” Mason waved his hand to dismiss her concerns and asked, “Do you need me to fire Tyler from the company?”
Melody hesitated for a moment and said, “This entire issue started because of vanity. Since Zara is willing to forgive them, as long as they don’t cause trouble again, there’s no need to remove them completely.”
Her only worry is that Yana would not change so easily.
However, Melody was not a cold-blooded animal. Yana was not targeting her, so she was willing to give Yana a chance.
She only hoped that Yana could open her eyes and figure out the situation.
Mason nodded.
“Since you’ve said so, I won’t hold him responsible, but he can forget about getting a promotion this year.”
Melody did not say anything else. She reminded the two of them about the medicine and bade them farewell.
Coincidentally, Ken came out of the classroom.
Melody also had something to say to Ken, but Sid stuck
to them like glue. Melody could only suppress the words in his heart and leave the set silently.
After Ken sent Sid away, Melody said, “Why are you looking for me?”
Ken frowned.
At some point, Melody’s attitude towards him seemed to have suddenly turned cold.
She would answer anything you asked and take the initiative to speak, but there didn’t seem to be any hint of a smile left in her eyes.
Ken pursed his lips, swept away the messy emotions in his mind, and got down to business.
“I went back to the manor after I got back from the hospital.”
Melody listened carefully.
Ken continued, “Cadence has returned to normal. He came to the manor today to denounce us.”
Melody’s eyelids twitched. She hurriedly asked, “She knows that your people injected her with drugs while she was hospitalized?”
“It’s just a guess. Without any evidence, she went straight to the door to testify against me. Grandma thought that Cadence hadn’t recovered and didn’t believe her.”
Melody heaved a sigh of relief.
“That’s good. Astrid was worried about not having any evidence to catch you. If Cadence has clear evidence, Astrid and Ulric will definitely not let you off.”
Ken looked at her deeply.
“You seem to be very clear about the grudge between Astrid and I…”
Melody’s heart tightened. She quickly thought of something to say as a cover-up. “Didn’t you mention it to me before? Astrid must have been involved in your mother’s death. Not to mention that she was worried that you would snatch away Ulric’s assets. Her guilty conscience alone would not allow her to tolerate you.”
Her explanation was watertight, but Ken did not look away from her.
“It’s almost as if…you’re someone from the future,” Ken voiced out his thoughts.
Melody’s eyelids twitched violently, and her heart suddenly beat faster.
