Chapter 686

“Go!” Janet’s men immediately swarmed Melody. Those people were all top-notch fighters. Her special assistant alone could fight ten people. She was more than enough to deal with a mere Melody. Thinking of this, Janet felt her blood boiling.

Even if things were as Sid said, and Ken suspected her, or if Ken truly fell in love with Melody, she didn’t care. She would not leave any traces behind. Besides, Ken wouldn’t cling to a dead person forever. Janet believed he’d eventually move on.

‘As long as Ken forgets about Melody, I can take over the spot in his heart anytime.’ Furthermore, Janet’s secret of collaborating with Ulric to deal with Sid will remain hidden. She could feel the burden in her heart slowly lifted.

Janet turned to look at Sid on the hospital bed and said half-smilingly, “Since you’ve chosen to stand on Melody’s side, you’ll die with her. Don’t worry, though, I’ll stab you in one move, so you don’t have to suffer anymore.” As she spoke, she bent down to look for the dagger that Melody had knocked away.

Sid struggled to sit up but still overestimated his physical fitness.

He had been in a coma for more than a week, and his limbs were difficult to move. Not only were they difficult to control, but every time he moved, a heart-wrenching pain would come from his chest. Even so, Sid endured the pain and struggled to sit up. As a man, he was not afraid of death. In any case, he had already walked through the gates of hell once.

However, he did not want to implicate Melody. She was innocent. So, he looked around, spotted a call bell on the wall, and pressed it hard. However, just as Sid was about to touch the call bell, a hand suddenly grabbed his wrist. Sid turned his head abruptly and met Janet’s eyes.

“You want to call for help? In your dream!” Janet pulled Sid off the bed. With a dull thud, Sid fell heavily from the hospital bed to the ground. The wounds on his chest split open almost at the same time, and the white gauze was instantly dyed red.

“Ugh…” Sid groaned in pain.

However, Janet did not feel guilty at all. She gripped the dagger in her hand tightly and bent down. “Let me help you ease your pain. Don’t worry, you won’t feel a thing.” She raised the dagger in her hand and aimed it at Sid’s chest.

However, in the nick of time, Melody flew and kicked Janet in the back. Janet was caught off guard and was kicked to the ground. The dagger in her hand cut her face. “My face!”

Janet screamed in pain. Ignoring the pain in her back, she quickly touched her face. Her palm was sticky. When she took a look, it was covered in blood.

Janet froze. Before she could do anything, Melody directly grabbed her and pressed her to the ground, immobilizing her. “Ah, let go of me. Let go of me! Someone-“

Janet shouted desperately, but no one came to help her. Seeing her helpless state, Melody said indifferently, “Don’t waste your energy. They won’t help you now.”

As she spoke, she grabbed Janet’s hair and pulled her head up, allowing her to see the state of her people. She realized that everyone, including her special assistant, had been knocked unconscious. The conscious ones had an extremely pained look and were unable to move.

Janet’s eyes widened in disbelief. She called their name one by one, but just as Melody had said, most of them were already unconscious and could not help her at all. “How could this be?”

Even though she had seen it with her own eyes, Janet was still unwilling to believe that Melody had beaten down her guards. She had never imagined that Melody would beat up all of her guards with her bare hands. A sense of fear flooded her heart. ‘No, I can’t get caught. Not like this! If I get caught, I will never be able to be with Ken again.

“No!” In an instant, a huge force erupted from Janet’s body, allowing her to break free from Melody’s restraints.

Melody did not expect Janet’s undying will to be so strong. After Janet broke free, she quickly went forward to grab Janet again. However, Janet came prepared. She reached into her pocket and sprinkled a piece of white powder from her palm.

Sid was the first to notice that something was wrong. He shouted to warn Melody, “Melody, be careful!”

Melody quickly turned her head to cover her mouth and nose with her right hand. But even so, she still inhaled a portion of the powder. For a moment, she felt a burning pain in her throat, and it slowly spread throughout her body. “Not good…”

Melody quickly took out her silver needles and inserted them into an acupuncture point on her body. While she did so, Janet picked up the dagger again and went after Melody. However, just as she took a step, two hands suddenly appeared and hugged her right leg tightly. Janet lowered his head and saw that it was Sid.

“Piss off!” Her eyes were bloodshot as she kicked Sid away. The kick landed on his wound.

“Ah!” Sid groaned in pain. His body trembled as he curled up into a ball. Janet did not even look at Sid as she charged towards Melody.

Melody was still detoxifying herself. There seemed to be a fire burning inside her body, and the non-existent fire slowly nibbled away at her strength. She no longer had the strength to stand on her feet. She bent her knees and slumped to the ground.

“Go to hell!” Janet swung her right hand and the dagger quickly flew towards Melody.

Melody subconsciously wanted to dodge, but she had underestimated the power of the unknown powder. Her body seemed to be frozen and she could not move at all. With her fate sealed, she closed her eyes reflexively.

However, the expected pain did not appear. Instead, Janet screamed. Melody opened her eyes and saw that Ken had appeared in the ICU. Janet’s chest was stabbed with the dagger that she had just thrown out. She was lying in a pool of blood in pain. Her eyes were wide open as she stared at Ken who had suddenly appeared. Janet did not believe that Ken would harm her. She was his good friend, comrade-in-arms, and childhood friend who had known each other for years.

Sid also widened his eyes in surprise, but he immediately let out a long sigh. He did not know how Ken did it, but he caught the dagger out of thin air and threw it towards Janet. In the past, Sid might have thought Ken was cold-blooded and did not care about old friendships. However, after seeing Janet’s real face, he did not think so anymore. He even felt satisfied.

“Why?” Janet asked with a trembling voice, “You did this to me because of her?”

Ken glanced at Janet as if looking at a cockroach. He quickly looked away in disgust and squatted before Melody to ask, “Are you hurt? What did she do to you?”
