Chapter 631

Russell’s smile froze on his face. It was not the first time that Melody had disrespected him tonight, but he could not get used to it.

In the past, Melody could only grovel in front of him, but now, she was so arrogant to him. How could he get used to this?

However, he hadn’t obtained the loan from Mason yet. Once the loan was made, Russell would teach Melody a lesson.

Russell forced a smile and said, “Melody, you’re getting ever funnier. How can our kinship be gone just because of an agreement? I understand that you’re still angry with me now. When you’re no longer angry, you can come back anytime.”

Melody dug her ear impatiently. “Enough. Why don’t you use this time to finish our deal earlier?”

With that, she bowed and got into the car. James immediately stepped on the accelerator. The car quickly drove away from Blue Moon Lounge, leaving Russell with the exhaust fumes.

Russell coughed from the exhaust fumes. When he calmed down, he stomped his foot. “Melody, you bitch. I’ll kill you in the future,” he yelled in the direction of the car that had disappeared into the distance.

When he was finally done yelling, he suddenly felt a cold gaze staring at him from the second floor. He turned to look at the second floor and saw nothing.

Russell wondered if he was hallucinating just now. He shook his head and strode to the car by the roadside, got in, and drove away.

As soon as Russell drove away, Moon popped her head out of a private room on the second floor.

“What a scum… How could he scold his daughter like that?” Moon mumbled. She was indignant and could not help but call Ken. It took a while for him to answer her call.

Moon said over the phone, “Melody might not be in a good mood today. When you get back from work, remember to bring her flowers. When girls see flowers, their mood will improve.”

Ken was stunned by her words. “Why is she in a bad mood?”

“You don’t have to ask about that. Just do as I say.” With that, Moon hung up the phone and downed a glass of wine angrily.

‘Damn it! He bullied Melody. Melody is kind but he is not a good person. The man is called Russell, right? Just wait and see. I’ll make him suffer today, Moon thought.

After drinking a glass of wine, Moon made a call. “Hey, help me teach someone a lesson…”

An hour later, Russell finally returned home. His gloomy mood prevented him from entering immediately. Instead, he stood at the door and lit a cigarette.

He was thinking about how to teach Melody a lesson when she returned. However, before he could think of an idea, a sack covered his head.

“Ah-” Russell shouted. Just as he was about to call for help, a man accurately covered his mouth through the sack and ordered, “Beat him up!”

In the next second, Russell was punched and kicked. By the time the beating was over, Russell’s face was bruised and swollen. He did not even have the strength to take off the sack.

Mabel had just arrived home and saw him on the ground. She asked the servant to help him into the living room.

Mabel carefully handed Russell an ice pack and asked, “Dad, why were you beaten up? Who hit you?”

“Piss off!” he shouted. Russell felt embarrassed and painful all over. The shout scared away the birds on the roof.

Mabel was so frightened that she trembled and shut her mouth.

“Mr. Fox, this is a painkiller.” The servant timidly handed the medicine over. Russell grabbed it and swallowed it.

He finally had the strength to call the police when the painkillers took effect. “Hey, someone hit me at my door,” he told the police.

The police arrived quickly, but after some investigation, they found nothing. They only told him to come to them if he had any clues.

“What a bunch of incompetents,” Russell remarked. “They said the surveillance cameras were hacked and they couldn’t find anything. I think they’re just lazy.”

Mabel remembered that Melody knew how to hack. Mabel told Russell her guess and asked, “Dad, do you think Melody did it to you? Did you provoke her again?”

“Shut up. It can’t be her.” Russell still had some rationality left in him. It was true that they had just met today, but he lost. There was no reason for Melody to send people to beat him up.

‘Moreover, that wretched girl wants Yolanda’s shares. That’s an even better reason, he thought.

“Dad, maybe you trust her too much? This isn’t the first time she’s hit you,” Mabel said.

“Enough.” Russell glared at Mabel and told her what happened at the dinner tonight.

“You mean Mason? His wife does have a good relationship with Melody. I also found out that she got pregnant because she took the medicine Melody gave her.”

Russell looked more displeased. “You’ve already found out about this. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Or I wouldn’t have been such a fool today.”

If he had known about the relationship between Melody and Mason, he would have thought of another way to get close to Mason. Russell would not have suffered such humiliation.

Mabel muttered, “How would I know… that she would go too?”

“Don’t talk back.” Russell gritted his teeth. “I told you to bring Ulric there. Why didn’t you listen? You’ve disappointed me. Can you do anything useful? You’re fooling around. Why don’t you put in more effort with Ulric?”

What Russell said was so harsh and humiliating. Mabel blushed in anger, but she was not stupid enough to argue with Russell at this moment. When Russell got really angry, he would beat her up.

Mabel had an idea and said under Russell’s cold gaze, “Dad, I’m not fooling around today. I’ve already convinced Ulric to get the Swanson Group to work with the Justalion Group as soon as possible.”

Russell was stunned for a moment before his eyes lit up. “Are you serious?”

Because he was too eager to know, the wound at the corner of his mouth split open and he gasped in pain.

However, he did not care about this pain at all. He continued, “What did Ulric say?”

Mabel, who had misunderstood Ulric’s promise, naturally would not let go of this opportunity to inflate her value in front of Russell.

She said happily, “I just mentioned it to him. I thought he wouldn’t agree easily, but he agreed to it without thinking. However, Ramon is now out of Silverlake on a business trip. He said when he comes back, he’ll help us resolve this matter.”

“That’s great!” Russell exclaimed. Russell almost jumped up in excitement.

Now, all he had to do was wait for the loan to come so that he could start mass-producing their newly designed clothes for autumn and winter.

In this way, Mason became extremely important to him. Russell was not in the mood to go to the hospital to treat his wound. He ran straight to the study upstairs and quickly drafted a share transfer agreement. Then, he trotted downstairs and asked the driver to ready the car.
