Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

As Margaret spoke, she walked out without needing anyone to support her. 

Ken was shocked and quickly went up to support her. 

Although Margaret had recovered from her illness, she was eighty after all. How could she walk so quickly? 

Margaret shook her head. “You worry about people more than I do! When you have a wife and children in the future, you’ll have more things to worry about!” 

Ken smiled. “Don’t worry, Grandma. I don’t have to worry about that for the time being 

He had no intention of getting married and having children at the moment. Pearly Antiques, his grandmother, and his career were the most important to him. 

Margaret was displeased when she heard Ken’s words, 

“What do you mean you don’t have to worry? I’m already so old but haven’t had a great–grandchild yet. Even if I’m better, I have nothing to do” Margaret paused and said even more forcefully. “Let me tell you, you have to get married as soon as possible. Arleast let me carry my great–grandchild before I die!” 

Ken smiled bitterly. ‘Grandma, even if I want you to have a great–grandson, I don’t have the ability. I don’t even have a girlfriend. Where can I get you a great–grandchild?” 

As soon as he said this, Margaret suddenly remembered what Maria had discussed with her on her birthday. 

Margaret rolled her eyes and asked, “Ken, what do you think of Melody?” 

Ken’s eyelids twitched. He frowned and asked, “Grandma, what do you want?” 

Margaret raised her eyebrows and said, “I think that child is great. We can’t judge other people by appearance, especially when looking for a wife. Her character is the most important. After interacting with her for the past few days, I think Melody’s character is good. She’s not arrogant or rash. Although she has such a face, she never feels inferior because of her appearance, which shows she’s pretty strong inside. It is something many socialites born and bred in Silverlake can’t compare to.” 

Ken nodded subconsciously because he agreed with Margaret. 

However, Ken realized Margaret’s intention immediately. He shook his head and said, “Grandma, you don’t have to worry about those things. I don’t plan to get married now. I have important things to do.” 

“This is important to me tool Margaret suddenly raised her voice, but then she realized that her attitude was too unyielding She sighed and said, “Forget it, take it slow. You two have indeed only spent little time together. 

Margaret thought that she was very good at judging people. She thought Melody was a good child. She was sure she wouldn’t be wrong. 

Moreover, the Fox family had indeed made an engagement agreement with the Swarison family, and Astrid would not like Melody, so the best candidate in Margaret’s heart had always been Ken. 

Soon, the two of them arrived downstairs. 

Initially, Ramon didn’t plan to go with them, but when he saw Margaret dressed up, he knew that she paid a lot of attention to paying a visit to express her gratitude to Melody. Hence, he postponed his work and boarded the car to the Fox family with Ken and Margaret. 

It took more than 40 minutes of driving from the Fox family’s residence to the Swanson family’s. Margaret kept urging the 

driver to speed up. When 

embarrassedly. “I don’t know were finally about to reach the Fox family’s house, Margaret rubbed her hands and said 

embarrassedly. “I don’t know why, but I feel like I’m meeting my first love.” 

This meant that Margaret liked Melody very much. 

A gentle smile appeared on Ken’s face. Seeing his grandmother like this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. He knew he could start working on Pearly Antiques now. 

At the thought of Pearly Antiques, Ken’s expression returned to its usual coldness. 

He could tolerate everything, be it framing, slandering, or anything about inheriting. But he would never give in when it came to Pearly Antiques, which his mother left behind. 

The car stopped at the entrance of the Fox family’s row house. 

Margaret quickly left the car and saw a maid cleaning at the door. She smiled and walked forward to greet her. “Hello, are Mr. Fox and Melody at home? I’m Margaret Swanson. 

The maid cleaning at the door immediately looked like she had seen a ghost when she heard the other party’s name and ran 

FL 

Margaret looked at the maid running away. Her hand that was greeting her stopped awkwardly in mid–air for two seconds, Two seconds later, she glared at Ken with a dark expression. 

It’s all Ken’s fault for saying I looked good in this dress. Look what happened now! The maid was startled. I knew this damin child was lying to me! However, it’s too late to change now. It’ll take another two hours to go back and change again. I can only enter like this: At the thought of this, Margaret said unhappily. “It’s all your fault!” 

Ken looked innocent and confused. ‘What did I do? 

In the living room of the Fox family. 

When the maid rushed in, Russell and Yolanda were about to go out to inquire about Margaret. 

When Yolanda saw the maid enter in a panic, she subconsciously frowned and reprimanded, “Why are you in such a hurry? It’s not like the house is on fire! 

Yolanda was about to reprimand her, but Russel felt something was wrong. 

Usually, Yolanda was very strict with the maids. The maid wouldn’t have been so flustered if something hadn’t happened. 

At the thought, a sense of foreboding surged in Russell’s heart. He hurriedly asked, “What happened? Did someone from the Swanson family come?” 

The maid was frightened by Yolanda’s scolding just now. Now that she heard Russell ask her, she remembered the serious matter and nodded uneasily. “Yes, people from the Swanson family have come… Many people have come. I saw three or four cars… 

When Yolanda heard this, her vision darkened. 

“Oh, no… We’re doomed…” she muttered in a daze. Then, she slumped onto the sofa. Her legs were weak, and she could not stand up no matter what. 

Russell was slightly calmer. However, it was because he tried his best to maintain his composure. He ordered the maid to bring Maria over immediately. 

“But..” The maid hesitated and said, “Mrs. Maria is so sick that she can’t get out of bed. Do you still want her to come over? 

Russell was filial. But his filial piety was not as important as his interests. 

Seeing that the Swanson family was here to avenge Margaret, if he did not bring Maria out now, he would be courting death. 

“Co quickly Russell gritted his teeth and ordered. 

The maid had no choice but to run to look for Maria. 

Maria’s condition had only improved slightly after that day. Then, it began to deteriorate again. Now, she was back to the state when she was sleeping most of the time and only awake for a while. 

Coincidentally, Maria was awake at that time. When she heard the maid’s words, she sat up without saying a word and said, “Bring the wheelchair over.” 

Maria’s private maid, Hattie, stopped that maid and said worriedly. “Mrs. Maria, your health is so poor. I don’t think you should go out.” 

However, Maria was very insistent. “How can I not go out after the trouble I caused?” 

Hattie could not help but feel dissatisfied with Melody. She muttered, “How is this your fault? It is Miss Melody’s fault We wouldn’t have had to be afraid if she hadn’t volunteered to treat Mrs. Margaret back then.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Over the past few days, Hattie had been influenced by Yolanda’s people and hated Melody.
