Chapter 384
Russell ignored Maria’s obstruction and signed the agreement in Melody’s hand.
In any case, since he could not seize Silk Beauty Cosmetics, there was no point in asking a jinx like Melody to stay.
Since Melody was defiant, he might as well disown her.
Russell thought, ‘So what if her medical skills are superb? Who will believe in her medical skills after she’s chased out by the Fox family?”
Russell was certain that Melody would soon kneel in front of him and beg for mercy.
Maria was so anxious that she almost stomped her feet. “Russell! Are you crazy? She’s your daughter.”
“Daughter? Does she treat me like a father? I did misunderstand her a few times, but so what? Who asked her to do something risky without informing me in advance? It’s good to chase her out for a while. That way, she’ll know the dangers of society.”
When Melody heard Russell’s shameless words, there was no longer any ripple in her heart.
She actually gave Russell one last chance to ease their father-daughter relationship today, but he didn’t want it.
From now on, she would never feel sad for Russell again.
She said indifferently, “Grandma, you don’t have to say anymore. Since he has already signed the agreement, I have nothing to do with him from now on. It’s very late today. I’ll come and get my things tomorrow.
“There’s no need to wait until tomorrow. Take the things away now and get lost immediately.
Russell was in a bad mood. He did not even give Melody any leeway.
This was because he firmly believed that Melody would soon come back and beg him to let her return to the Fox family.
Maria was furious. She said, “Since you want to chase her out, you can chase me out too.”
Russell said, “Mom, why are you speaking up for this evil creature?”
Maria replied, “Evil creature? I think you’re the evil creature.”
Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Melody quickly said, “Grandma, you’ve just recovered. Don’t be angry because of me. I’ll definitely come back to visit you often in the future and take your pulse.”
Maria was silent for a long time. She looked at Melody and said, “Melody, have you really made up your mind?”
Melody replied, “Yes.”
When Maria saw that she really could not persuade Melody, Maria raised her head and sighed. There was endless reluctance in her eyes.
“Since you insist on leaving, at least wait until tonight is over. It’s not convenient for you to leave in the middle of the night. If you want to leave, you can leave tomorrow.
Melody had the same intention, so she did not refuse.
On the other side, Russell did not even want to look at Melody. However, when he saw that Maria’s attitude was firm, he could not refute it. He only said, “Leave tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t stay any longer,” Melody replied indifferently and helped Maria to the backyard.
James hesitated for a moment but did not follow them. Instead, he took the people away.
Soon, the living room returned to silence.
But in the blink of an eye, the peace was interrupted by Mabel, who was running downstairs.
“Dad, where’s Mom? Why did the servant say that you’re really going to divorce Mom?”
Russell massaged his throbbing temple and said, “What else can I do? If the matter of hiring killers gets out, our entire Fox family will be in trouble.”
Mabel said, “But Mom did that for you.”
“Say no more. She’s no longer your mother from now on. If you continue to call her mother, get out of the Fox family like Melody.”
Mabel widened her eyes in shock. Then, she tried her best to hide the joy in her heart and asked carefully, “Dad, have you severed your relationship with Melody?”
“The agreement has already been signed. Of course, it’s true.”
Russell did not want to say more. He directly threw the agreement to sever his relationship with Melody in front of Mabel
Mabel quickly scanned through the agreement and saw that the pile of luxury goods still ended up in Melody’s hands She felt extremely indignant.
However, when she thought about how Melody would no longer be a member of the Fox family in the future, and she could openly marry into the Swanson family through the arranged marriage, her indignation was soon gone.
Russell said disdainfully. That wretched girl. I’m going to see how long she can last outside without me.”
When Mabel heard this, she felt that Russell actually hoped that Melody would return. She deliberated for a moment and said, “Dad, this is a good thing. Melody is too extreme in her actions. She never discusses it with us before doing something. After she has nothing to do with the Fox family no matter what trouble she causes outside in the future, we won’t be implicated
Russell’s frustration was appeased when he heard that
You’re right. It’s good that this troublemaker left. It’s best if she doesn’t come back. Anyway, she’s just a good-for-nothing. As for your mother, you should cut ties with her as soon as possible.
Russell massaged his temple again and stood up. Tm tired. I’m going upstairs to rest.
Mabel said, “Alright, you must take care of yourself
Russell saw the concern in Mabel’s eyes and felt even more relieved.
Fortunately, he still had a daughter like Mabel, who was good at her studies and had made him proud.
It was enough to have a daughter like Mabel. He couldn’t be bothered with Melody, that troublemaker.
Russell was in a much better mood. He acknowledged Mabel and went upstairs.
As soon as Russell left, Mabel’s eyes revealed a cold expression.
Mabel thought, ‘If Dad could treat Melody like this today, it’s hard to guarantee that he will not treat me like this in the future. I have to quickly discuss with Mom what to do subsequently.’
Thinking of this, Mabel directly walked towards the abandoned garage that the servant had mentioned.
There were two servants guarding the garage door. Under Mabel’s coercion and temptation, they had no choice but to let Mabel in.
“Mom.”
As soon as Mabel entered, she saw Yolanda squatting in a corner. Yolanda looked disheveled and haggard.
Tears welled up in Mabel’s eyes. It wasn’t that her heart ached for Yolanda, but she was worried that this would happen to her someday as well.
Mabel jumped into Yolanda’s arms and cried, “How am I going to save you, Mom? Without you, I really don’t know what to do.”
Yolanda was very calm.
She patted Mabel’s back and said, “Mabel, don’t worry. Tell me about the situation outside first.”
Mabel sniffed and replied, “Dad has already signed the agreement to sever his relationship with Melody. Tomorrow, Melody will be kicked out of the house. Now that everyone has left, Dad has also gone upstairs to rest.”
Yolanda nodded. “In other words, Melody is no longer a member of the Fox family.”
Mabel said anxiously, “Who cares about Melody now? She’s indeed leaving the Fox family, but you’re about to be chased out too.”
Yolanda smiled and said, “Don’t worry, they won’t chase me out. Your grandmother already knows that I tried to kill Hattie. This is illegal, but she still didn’t say anything. This means that the most important thing to her is the Fox family’s reputation and future. She definitely won’t let outsiders know about it. You just have to help me leak a piece of news.”
Mabel asked in confusion. “What news?”
Yolanda replied, “Silly child, have you forgotten that it’s my birthday tomorrow? Once this news gets out, people will definitely send birthday gifts. At that time, to cover up this matter, your grandmother will definitely postpone the divorce to avoid arousing suspicion.”
