Chapter 3

66

This makeup artist should not be a makeup artist, but a supporting actor.

However, because Ken was standing beside him, James tried his best to hold back his laughter.

At this moment, a corner of the black dress appeared in their line of sight.

In the next second, a slender ankle was revealed. The skin tone contrasted greatly with the black of the dress and seemed significantly eye-catching.

James suddenly widened his eyes. He could not believe that a single foot could cause ripples in his heart. He was looking forward to Melody’s appearance.

In the bedroom of the suite.

Melody had just taken a step outside when the stylist reminded her that the black silk belt around her waist had not been tied, so she delayed for a few seconds before walking out of the bedroom.

Walking out of the bedroom, she looked up and saw Ken standing in the middle of the living room.

He was still wearing his usual black suit, but perhaps because today’s event was important, he had styled his hair and combed it up, revealing his hairline.

His facial features were perfect to begin with. Coupled with his above-average height, he was extremely attractive just standing there.

The moment their eyes met, Melody’s heart skipped a beat. She did not dare to look directly at Ken and hurriedly looked away.

However, Ken continued to stare at her.

Melody was especially eye-catching today. Her entire body exuded a classical charm. The light eye makeup made her originally beautiful eyes look even more energetic, like a pool of water.

Ken held his breath and swallowed.

For a moment, the air in the hotel seemed to freeze.

However, at this moment, James let out an inappropriate “Fuck”.

This exclamation brought Melody and Ken back to their senses at the same time. The two of them regained their usual calmness almost at the same time.

James approached Melody in a few steps. He walked around her in disbelief and asked uncertainly, “You’re Miss Fox? Can you say something for me to hear?”

Melody glanced at James speechlessly.

“That’s enough.”

This voice was indeed Melody!

James rubbed his eyes hard and walked around Melody again. He clicked his tongue and exclaimed, “Clothes make the man! Miss Fox, if I didn’t know it was you, I wouldn’t have recognized you.”

Melody nodded without much emotion.

“It’s good that you can’t recognize me. If you can’t, then Owen can’t either. How about this? Today, I will be Wilona Knowles. Please cooperate with me on that.”

James nodded repeatedly.

Perhaps it was because Melody was now a little beauty that could not be ignored. He was exceptionally patient with her and could not help but say a few more words, “Wilona Knowles is your mother, right? I’ll remember it.”

Melody’s expression froze slightly. She quickly ignored James’s words and took a few steps forward to the spot where Ken was.

“Why are you here?”

“I’m here to inspect the results.” Ken looked at her deep in the eyes and said briefly, “It seems the results are passable.”

Melody pouted.

“Since you’ve received the results, we can set off now. But…there’s something I need you to arrange.”

“Go on.” There was nothing unusual about Ken’s expression, but his eyes never left Melody’s face.

Melody did not notice Ken’s abnormality. She said seriously, “James told me about Owen’s situation. It’s not that easy to gain his trust. Therefore, I need you to create a real identity for Wilona Knowles as soon as possible, and this identity must be related to the medical family.”

Ken nodded. “No problem. It will be settled before we reach the venue.”

“Alright, it’s about time. Let’s split up and set off.”

Ken did not comment and followed Melody out of the hotel.

Because James’s identity was well-known, Ken specially arranged a new driver for her.

About an hour later, the car drove into Sky City.

The sky had already darkened,

Sky City was built at the intersection of Silverlake and the neighboring city. It was located on a cliff.

From the foot of the mountain, Sky City looked like a city floating in the sky.

Melody’s car speed was deliberately slower than Ken’s, so by the time she got out of the car, Ken had already been escorted into the manor by the crowd.

She was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, she swallowed a brown pill first.

This pill could make her voice different from usual.

After doing this, she walked towards the check-in area.

After showing the invitation, she was about to enter when Mabel’s voice came from not far away.

“Wait!”

Melody stopped in her tracks.

Could it be that Mabel recognized her?

That shouldn’t be the case…

The next second, Mabel, who was wearing a diamond-studded gown, ran to her, panting.

Although Melody had light makeup on her eyes today and had long left the “ugly girl” status, her facial features were a little swollen from being poisoned. She was still incomparable to Mabel, who had full makeup on.

Melody clenched her fists slightly, unsure if Mabel recognized her.

Mabel regulated her breathing before she continued speaking.

“Miss, I realized that I had forgotten to bring my invitation. Every invitation allows a plus-one. It would be too much of a hassle for me to go back and get my invitation. Could I tag along with you instead?”

As Mabel spoke, she handed Russell’s business card to her and said, “I’m the eldest daughter of the Justalion Group, Mabel Fox. I believe you have heard of me.”

Melody’s heart relaxed slightly, and her lower lip instantly curved.

“Of course, I’ve heard of Miss Mabel Fox. But I have to apologize, I already have a plus-one. I’m afraid there won’t be any extra slots.”

Her voice was much hoarser than her usual voice. Ordinary people would not be able to recognize her from her voice.

“I see…”

Mabel nodded awkwardly and said, “Then go in quickly. I’ll get the butler at home to send me the invitation.”

Melody nodded and did not say anything else. She turned around and entered the manor.

Sky City was filled with white retro European-style buildings. The scenery was pleasant. Usually, the people who could enter this place were either rich or noble.

However, she had been here a few times after marrying Ulric, so she did not need anyone to lead her to the main venue of the cocktail party.

However, Mabel was different from Melody. She had never been to such a high-end place before.

Mabel even thought that Sky City was located in Silverlake’s city area, but when she arrived, she realized that it was more than an hour’s drive from the city.

It would be impossible for her to pretend to bump into Ulric at the door as she had discussed with her father.

What are the chances of randomly running into someone on such a high mountain?

Therefore, she could only find someone who did not have a male companion or female companion here.

However, that person just now…

Mabel narrowed her eyes.
