Chapter 713
The vice president of the company had worked for Pete for many years. He was loyal to Pete. There was no way he would lie to Pete.
Therefore, the matter could only be true.
It took Pete a long time to digest this news. Her face turned paler and uglier than that of Sabrina, who was lying on the hospital bed.
He tried to open his mouth to say something but realized he was too shocked and desperate to make any sound.
Trisha realized something and looked at Melody in disbelief.
“What did you do to our company?”
Only when something happened to the company could Pete become such a lost soul.
“You’re not stupid,” said Melody, raising her eyebrows. “Not much. As I said just now, I just made you go bankrupt. What a pity. It seems you won’t be able to use the Webb Group’s name to take revenge on me.”
Apparently, Trisha was unwilling to believe it.
“That’s impossible! How can our company go bankrupt easily? Who do you think you are?”
“Enough!” Pete, who had been silent for so long, suddenly shouted, scaring Trisha so much that her body trembled.
She looked at Pete in panic.
“Honey?”
However, Pete didn’t even glance at Trisha. He looked straight at Melody and questioned, “Who are you?”
Trisha instantly knew what Melody said was true as Pete said so.
Trisha’s psychological quality was not as good as Pete’s. She immediately rolled her eyes and passed out.
On the hospital bed, Sabrina’s eyes were wide open, but she could not speak and could only stare.
Their family had gone bankrupt.
She was going to lose everything…
Sabrina’s tears kept falling.
She finally began to regret why she had got into trouble with Melody, the monster, for a hooligan boyfriend.
However, it was too late for Sabrina to regret it.
“Don’t you know who I am?” Melody said with a cold expression.
“How… how did you do it?”
“I just made a call as you saw. Why? If you still don’t believe me, I can give you a minute to call your company to confirm.”
Pete looked even worse.
She had bankrupted the Webb Group with just a phone call…
What kind of terrifying person had they provoked?
After Pete’s rationality slowly returned, the overwhelming fear immediately hit him.
No matter how unwilling Pete was to believe it, he had no choice but to admit that he and the others were like ants that could be easily trampled to death in Melody’s eyes.
No wonder…
No wonder Melody was as calm as ever from the beginning until now.
She was not pretending to be calm but could do so.
However, what Pete could not accept was that he was an ordinary person without any power from now on.
Melody was right. Destroying what Pete cared about the most was worse than killing him.
“No…”
Under the suppression of absolute strength, Pete suddenly apologized as if he had gone crazy. “Miss Fox, I was wrong! I know my mistake! I shouldn’t have provoked you. We provoked the wrong person. I admit my mistake!
Please, don’t treat me like this. I don’t want to lose everything!”
Melody’s expression did not change at all. She only said calmly, “I gave you a chance.”
She even gave him more than one chance.
“No, no. Please give me another chance! I can kowtow to you and admit my mistake. I’ll do it now!”
Pete began to kowtow hard in the direction of Melody.
His forehead hit the cold floor tiles heavily and soon began to turn purple.
It was not until his forehead began to bleed that he felt a wave of dizziness. He held onto the last bit of hope and tried hard to ask with a smile, “Miss Fox, are you satisfied? Can you let us go now? I have kowtow to you as you said.” However, there was no pity in Melody’s eyes.
“I’m sorry. It’s too late although you know your mistake now. Enjoy your life with nothing.”
Then Melody ordered Spencer to put away all the weapons in the room. She passed Pete and walked out directly.
“Miss Fox! Miss Fox!”
Pete wanted to chase after Melody, but he fell to the ground after taking two steps.
Sabrina was anxious, but she could not move. She could only cry helplessly.
However, it is no use crying over spilled milk.
*****
Melody had just walked out of the hospital with Spencer when Russell’s anxious voice came from behind.
“Melody! Wait!”
Russell quickly caught up and opened his arms to block Melody’s path.
Melody indifferently looked at Russell, who was once the person she called her father.
She could not forget the words Russell had uttered to protect himself in the ward when Pete threatened her life in the ward.
“Mr. Fox, is there anything else?” said Melody, her eyes filling with mockery. It was unknown if she was mocking herself or Russell.
“Melody…” Russell said guiltily, “I didn’t expect Mr. Swanson to be so good to you. He did help you bankrupt the Webb Group.”
“Is that all you have to say?”
Russell quickly shook his head and said with a fawning smile, “Melody, you’re not hurt, are you? I saw you fighting so many people just now. Are you feeling unwell? Coincidentally, this is the hospital. Why don’t I bring you to the emergency room for a checkup?”
“No need!”
A middle-aged man in a white coat walked over as soon as Melody finished her words.
“Excuse me, is this Miss Fox?”
Melody nodded and asked in confusion, “You are?”
The man quickly introduced himself. “I’m the acting director of Central Hospital. Mr. Wallrich, the director, showed me your photo before he left. I was about to contact you. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
“What can I do for you?”
The acting director hurriedly said, “Mr. Wallrich said the hospital will be your business from now on. Why don’t you check the hospital’s bill with me if you have time?”
“What?” Russell’s eyes were filled with surprise. He grabbed the acting director and asked, “You said the hospital will belong to Melody?”
“And you are?”
“I’m Melody’s father!” Russell’s face was filled with pride.
Melody sneered and said calmly, “Don’t listen to him. I don’t know him.”
The acting director was stunned before he ignored Russell and asked again, “Do you have time to check the hospital’s bill with me now?”
Melody nodded. “Sure.”
“That’s great. This way, please.” The acting director hurriedly made a please gesture in a respectful manner. Russell wanted to follow Melody but was stopped by Spencer.
“Don’t come near Miss Fox again, or you’ll bear the consequences!”
Spencer’s tone was full of warning. The hostility on him frightened Russell so much that Russell didn’t dare take another step forward.
Russell felt a great sense of loss as he watched Melody go further and further away.
Russell seemed to have unknowingly lost something important… and he did that himself.
