Chapter 715

Ken’s voice immediately came through Melody’s phone as the call was connected.

“Spencer said you just finished your work?”

Melody glanced sideways at Spencer. She finally knew why Ken called her so promptly.

There was no so-called surveillance or telepathy. It was completely relying on Spencer, the artificial communication device.

Spencer caught a glimpse of her gaze and lowered his head guiltily.

It couldn’t be helped. Although Melody was his primary target of protection, Ken was the master who signed the contract with him.

Melody quickly retracted her gaze. She did not blame Spencer.

In the past, she thought these surveillance cameras would make her lose her freedom, but she only felt at ease now. Sometimes, a person’s state of mind changes quickly.

“Yes, I just finished,” said Melody, walking toward the parking lot with her phone. “I checked the hospital’s bills, but only a portion.”

“Why don’t you let Zack handle it?”

“Oliver gave it to me. I had thought about it and decided not to accept it. I think I’ll check it first, standardize it, and then return it to his daughter. By the way, if you know any management teachers, you can recommend them to me. I will send her to class to learn how to manage the industry in advance.”

“I see,” said Ken, nodding in understanding. “It’s better this way. To avoid you taking care of his property for his daughter, who may not appreciate your good intentions and instead accuse you of stealing her assets.”

Melody had also considered that. In addition, she felt that she should accept a reward for doing nothing, so she did not let Zack take care of the matter.

“Oh, right,” Melody said. “About Sabrina’s matter… As a thank-you gift, how about I cook for you tonight? What do you want to eat? Just order whatever you want.”

Ken raised his eyebrows.

“You’re smart enough not to say thanks?”

Melody pouted and said, “Aren’t you going to order? If not, forget it…”

“No, I’ll order.” Ken thought and said, “Let’s make something simple. Don’t take an hour to make the shrimp ravioli like last time. It’s up to you what you want to cook.”

“Alright. I’ll go buy groceries now.”

“Yes. In addition, I’ve arranged two more death warriors for you. One is called Aaron Berg, and the other is called Nyla Berg. They should be waiting for you by the car. Just recognize their names, and don’t worry about anything else. They will be at your disposal like Spencer.”

Melody had just reached the parking lot. When she looked up, she saw a tall man and a gorgeous woman in a red dress standing beside the modified bulletproof car.

They nodded slightly at Melody when they saw her looking over.

Melody could not help but feel surprised.

Whether it was No. Spencer or Seventeen when they first saw her, they bowed to her respectfully, but Aaron and Nyla only nodded slightly.

However, Melody did not care about these superficial greetings, so she did not overthink it after being puzzled.

However, Spencer beside her bowed deeply to Aaron and Nyla before retreating to her side.

Melody was even more confused.

‘Are death warriors divided into levels?’ thought Melody.

Before she could ask Ken on the phone, Ken suddenly said, “By the way, there’s one more thing. Mabel came to look for me just now.”

Melody frowned. “What did she say?”

On the other end of the line, Ken said indifferently, “She cried when she saw me. As she cried, she said she regretted not being on good terms with you before and causing you to misunderstand many things about her. She hoped I could be a lobbyist and help you reconcile with the Fox family. The matter… What do you think?”

Before Melody could say anything, Ken added, “If you want to go home, I’ll arrange it for you at any time. I’ll make sure Russell never treats you like he did before when you got back. I can accompany you back to the Fox family if you want.”

“No, thanks.” Melody refused expressionlessly. “There’s only one possibility for me to return to the Fox family. It is the day I take back all the properties left behind by my mother.”

Her tone was incredibly calm, but her heart was far from calm as it seemed.

After all, that was the place she had once treated as her home. It was the place she had woken up countless times in the night and wanted to go back to when she lived in the countryside.

“Alright. I understand what you mean. However, I’m afraid it was Russell’s intention when Mabel suddenly came looking for me.”

“Maybe.” The mist in Melody’s eyes was unclear.

Melody thought, ‘Russell might want Mabel to call me back to the Fox family, but the last person who wants me back is Mabel. She can’t want to reconcile with me after getting Russell’s orders. Moreover, if Mabel wants to reconcile with me, shouldn’t she look for me? Why did she look for Ken?’

Melody smiled mockingly. Perhaps Mabel was in a hurry to replace her backer, Ulric, because she thought he might fall.

At Cadence’s funeral, Melody noticed Mabel’s gaze had landed on Ken more than once.

However, Melody believed in Ken’s taste. He would not fall for a woman like Mabel.

“In short…” Melody paused and said, “Russell and I are no longer father and daughter after that day, so you don’t have to be troubled. Treat them the way you treat them.”

“I see. Then I’ll go home and help you cook dinner after I’m done.”

“You don’t have to cook dinner with me. You don’t have the talent.”

After a few jokes, Melody knew Ken had a lot of work to do, so she did not disturb him anymore and quickly hung up.

As soon as the call ended, Melody asked Spencer in a low voice, “Are Aaron and Nyla your leaders?”

“Yes,” Spencer answered truthfully. “They were originally in charge of protecting Mr. Swanson’s safety, but when the black market expanded later on, they were in charge of helping Mr. Deeds manage the black market. One of them was in charge of managing Insterimond’s black market, and the other was in charge of managing Silverlake’s.”

“Which one is in charge of Silverlake’s?”

“It’s Aaron. As for Nyla, apart from managing Insterimond’s black market, she’s also responsible for maintaining the black market forum’s system.”

“She’s a hacker?”

“Yes. Nyla is also skilled but is still below you.”

Melody nodded. She did not expect Ken to send two management personnel to her.

No wonder Aaron and Nyla only nodded slightly when they greeted Melody. Their nods were already showing their respect for her.

“I have a rough idea. Come on, let’s go over.”

“Yes.”

“Aaron and Nyla, right?” Melody walked up to the two and extended her hand to them. “I’ll have to trouble you to take care of me during this period.”

Nyla had no intention of lifting her hands from her sides. However, Aaron, with a centipede scar on his face, was the first to reach out and shake Melody’s hand.

“Miss Fox, you’re too kind. We’re all following Mr. Swanson’s orders. If there’s anything you need us to do, feel free to ask.”

Aaron spoke politely, but his eyes were filled with alienation. It was obvious that he was unwilling to be

Melody’s bodyguard.
