Chapter 477
Nana said, “I thought you were going to take me to her. I didn’t expect you to waste my precious time here. Let me tell you, I don’t have time to waste with you here. Tell Melody to get out immediately!”
David now admired and appreciated Melody to the extreme. Seeing Nana’s attitude, he immediately frowned. “Miss, please mind your words. What do you mean by get out? I advise you to apologize immediately for what you said! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not caring that you’re a girl!” Nana glanced disdainfully at David, who was wearing a white coat. “You think you can make me apologize to you? Do you know who I am?”
As soon as David spoke, Melody immediately walked up and called out, “David.”
“Miss Fox, you’re here!” David pointed at Nana angrily and said, “This woman was rude to you!”
Melody looked at Nana expressionlessly. “If I remember correctly, Miss Nana, you came here to fulfill your promise after you lost a bet to me, right?”
When Nana saw that Melody had finally appeared, she raised her chin and said, “You’re finally here, but I’m not here to do chores for you!”
Melody raised her eyebrows indifferently. “Are you going back on your word?”
Nana’s face darkened. She took out the check that she had prepared in advance and threw it at Melody’s face.
Melody reacted quickly and caught the check before it hit her face.
“200 thousand dollars?” She looked at the number on the check and asked Nana, “What do you mean?”
Nana curled her lips and said, “200 thousand dollars is enough for you to hire hundreds of cleaning crew. I know you’re not from a good family, and you were chased out by the Fox family. You’re penniless now. That’s why I specially sent this sum of money to you for emergencies. However, the condition is that you can’t tell outsiders that I didn’t keep my promise.”
Melody chuckled.
Nana frowned and asked, “What are you laughing at?” Melody tore the check and said slowly, “Forgive me for not being able to lie. Miss Jense, you want to maintain your good reputation of keeping your word, but you don’t want to honor the bet. How can there be such a good thing in the world?”
“You bitch!” Nana raised her hand to slap Melody in anger.
However, just as she raised her hand in the air, she was intercepted by Melody before she could land. “Nana, I advise you to restrain yourself. This is Herbathrive. It’s not a place for you to behave atrociously!”
Herbathrive was short of manpower, but it was short of capable doctors, not a handyman.
The reason why Melody made such a bet was because she wanted Nana to turn over a new leaf and learn to respect others. But now it seemed that Nana could never learn it.
Nana tried to break free from Melody’s grip.
However, to her surprise, Melody’s figure was clearly thinner than hers, but the strength of her slender hand was terrifying. It was as if she was being clamped by a pair of pliers, and she could not break free at all.
“Bitch! Let go!” She gritted her teeth in anger and quickly reached out her other hand to grab Melody’s arm.
Seeing this, Melody pushed Nana back.
Nana missed and fell to the ground. She gasped in pain.
When a passing patient saw this, he immediately looked over curiously.
Nana was furious and embarrassed. She glared at the patient and scolded, “What are you looking at? Do you believe that I’ll gouge out your eyes?”
As soon as she said this, the people who had originally come to watch the show left one after another. Instead, it was Herbathrive’s employees who rushed up and asked Melody if he needed help.
“There’s no need. You can all go about your business.” After dismissing Herbathrive’s men, Melody looked up at Nana again and said coldly, “Get lost! Don’t disturb my patient’s treatment. I won’t take your money, but I won’t do your request either.”
Nana glared at Melody and gritted her teeth.
“Bitch, just you wait!” After saying that, Nana ran downstairs.
David looked at Nana’s departing figure and asked in confusion, “Miss Fox, what’s going on? Who is this person?”
Melody sighed and said, “I met her at a friend’s class reunion…”
She briefly explained how she had made a bet with Nana over a painting.
After David heard this, he revealed a look of disdain. “She simply doesn’t want to fulfill her promise. How can there be such a person in the world? If I were her, I would come over obediently to fulfill the bet. This way, people would think highly of me and save some face.”
Melody shrugged. “Some people are just like that. It’s just a pity…
“What’s a pity?”
Melody looked at the cheque fragments on the ground and said regretfully, “Unfortunately, I was impulsive and tore 200 thousand dollars apart. The next time I meet someone like Nana, I should take the money directly. In this world, it’s not easy to earn 200 thousand dollars.”
The corners of David’s mouth twitched. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
He could only change the topic and ask, “Why did you let the two scammers go just like that? I thought about it for the entire night, but I couldn’t figure out the reason.”
Melody flicked David’s forehead. “Sometimes knowing is better than not knowing. But don’t worry, they’ll be here soon.”
“Return? How could they have walked right into the trap?”
“You’ll see. Anyway, if they come knocking on your door, let me know as soon as you can. Got it?”
“Okay.” Although David agreed, he did not think that the scammer couple would dare to come knocking on his door.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion downstairs. “Get out of the way! Melody, get out here!”
Hearing the commotion, Melody immediately leaned against the railing on the second floor and leaned over to look down.
Nana, who had just left, returned. However, unlike before, she did not come alone this time. Instead, she brought a large group of hooligans.
Downstairs, Nana looked up and met Melody’s gaze.
She sneered and said arrogantly, “You dare to provoke me? Melody, your retribution is coming! Get down immediately, or I’ll smash this clinic!”
David pulled Melody’s sleeve nervously. “Miss Fox, are the bodyguards you called yesterday still around?”
“Don’t worry, there’s no need for them.” Melody gave David a reassuring look and walked downstairs fearlessly.
David hurriedly followed closely behind. Although he was afraid, he would not run away just because of that, leaving Melody here alone.
*****
Because of the hooligans brought by Nana, the people who came to the clinic to get the medicine were afraid of being implicated, so they ran away as quickly as possible.
When David followed Melody downstairs, he also noticed that a man who had injured his leg suddenly did not even need his walking stick. He threw away his walking stick and ran out. It was impossible to tell that his leg was injured.
He revealed an indescribable expression, then glared angrily at Nana.
He thought, ‘It is all because of this woman that all the patients in the clinic ran away. If these people gossiped, who would dare to come to this clinic in the future?’
