Chapter 420
The item was identical to the image Scarface Lorenzo showed Melody that day.
The dark blue box emitted a mysterious light which was far more vivid than what she saw in the image.
Melody was so excited that her hands were trembling. She had finally accomplished the task Felix Quaid assigned her!
However, this also meant that the Harper family did indeed have what Felix wanted. So what would Felix do next? Would he steal from the Harper family or rob them?
A sinister and cunning person like Felix would probably have endless tricks up his sleeve.
If Kenneth Harper found out that Melody was responsible for all of this, what would he think? And more importantly, what would he do?
Melody hesitated, but she did not have time to think too much. The servant behind her was already walking toward her so she could only put back everything quickly. She then stood up as if nothing had happened and smiled. “There’s nothing here either.”
The servant was a little suspicious but in the next instant, Melody opened her hand. A dead cockroach had somehow magically appeared in her palm. “I was mistaken. It wasn’t a rat that ran in. It was this big cockroach.”
The servant took a step back in disgust. At the same time, she was baffled.
The senior Mr. Harper’s room was cleaned every day. How did such a big cockroach escape her vacuum cleaner?
Fortunately, the offending bug was caught in time so the servant expressed her gratitude. “Thank you, Miss Princeton.”
“You’re welcome.” Melody went out to wash her hands. When she saw the servant coming out after cleaning the room, she reminded servant, “When Mr. Harper asks, please don’t tell him that I went into his room.
“After all, my marriage with Kenneth is already…” She lowered her head and looked a little sad. “In short, Kenneth and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. I don’t want to incur Mr. Harper’s wrath.”
As Melody’s explanation was valid, the servants saw no reason to object. “Okay.”
In fact, even if Melody didn’t remind her, she would still have kept mum.
After all, Mr. Harper had given strict instructions earlier that no outsiders were allowed to step into his room. If Mr. Harper found out someone had entered his room, all the servants would be in trouble.
Melody thanked her with a smile and returned to her room. The moment she stepped into her room, her smile vanished.
After that, she used the communicator Felix gave her to contact Scarface Lorenzo and she reported her findings. “The box you’re looking for is in Romeo Harper’s room. It’s hidden at the bottom of his bedroom closet.”
The old man must have thought that the most dangerous place was the safest place and so he put it in the closet. He probably did not expect anyone to stumble upon his secret compartment and discover the secret within….
Lorenzo became very excited. He asked Melody again, “Are you sure you are not mistaken?”
Melody then described what she saw. “The patterns on the box are very complex, and the color of the box is a little darker than the photo you showed me.”
The voice on the other end of the communicator fell silent
After a long while, Lorenzo’s slightly trembling voice was heard again. “Good, good. You did well. Master will reward you as

promised.”
With that, the communicator went silent. Melody sat on the bed and sighed heavily.
100%
In this world, it was every man for himself. Even if she still felt a little soft–hearted towards Kenneth, what was the point of helping a man who didn’t want her? She might as well drag him down to hell with her!
Besides, Felix had promised her the reward she wanted after the task was completed. And the reward she wanted was to kill Tiffany Kelley with her own hands!
Only then could she give vent to the hatred in her heart. Melody’s face turned vicious, and her clear eyes were filled with deep hatred.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door and Alexia Harper’s voice rang out from outside. “Hey, have I’ve been calling out to you for so long. Are you deaf? Can’t you hear me?”
Melody frowned at once and got up to open the door.
you died inside?
“Gosh, you’re still here? I thought you had left already. But you’re so brazen and still refuse to leave our house! You’re really shameless!” Alexia launched into a tirade.
She was wearing her school uniform so it was obvious that she had just returned from school. She was a young girl of school–going age, yet the things she said were downright unbecoming.
Melody snickered inwardly. ‘Go ahead and do your worst. Let’s see how long your family can remain smug!‘
So this bitch wanted to kick her out, did she? Well, since her mission was already completed, she would grant Alexia her wish.
Melody did not put on her usual pitiful pretense. Instead, she pushed Alexia aside brusquely and said cryptically, “Fine, I’ll leave now. But in the future… we won’t see each other again.”
Alexia did not catch her underlying meaning. She continued railing at Melody. “Get lost quickly! Do you think I want to see you? It’s even better if I don’t see you anymore, in case I feel like puking when I see you!”
Melody did not say anything else and stalked out. As she had come empty–handed, she had nothing to pack.
Alexia was somewhat surprised that Melody walked out of the villa in such a forthright manner.
In the past, this woman was such a shameless hanger–on who refused to leave. Yet today, she literally walked out after Alexia only said a few words. Things couldn’t be better.
With a wave of her hand, she instructed one servant, “Quickly set off some firecrackers to celebrate. We’ve finally gotten of this scourge!”
rid
The servant felt a little helpless. Before she could say anything, Alexia added, “Don’t forget the household fireworks too. Do it at once. Step on it!”
Alexia was the Harper family’s pampered princess and had always done whatever she wanted. The servant had no choice but to do as Alexia instructed.
The firecrackers were quickly brought out. Alexia lit them herself before tossing them at Melody’s feet. She jeered loudly, “Whoever turns back is a sewer rat! Get lost now!”
Melody never thought that Alexia could be so heartless. As the firecrackers started exploding all around her, she was so frightened that she screamed and fled. She could only rush into the safety of her car as quickly as possible.
After the car door slammed shut, the car shielded her from the crackling firecrackers outside. However, the car was shaking slightly from the exploding impact of the firecrackers. No doubt the car’s paintwork would be severely damaged as a result.

Even Melody’s body suffered some burns from the firecracker sparks.
