Chapter 117
“What’s up?” Melody smiled and turned to ask Ken.
Ken walked past her without even looking at her.
If he hadn’t said “come here when they brushed past each other she would have thought that she was hallucinating.
This person… He does have principles, but he needs to correct this attitude that emanates from his bones and thinks he is the boss! With those thoughts in mind, Melody pursed her lips. After stopping for two seconds, she followed Ken.
Ken got into his Maybach. Melody stood by the car window, not knowing what Ken meant.
“Was I hallucinating? While Melody was hesitating, the passenger window rolled down and Ken’s deep voice could be heard. “What are you waiting for? Get in the car!”
“Alright, it seemed like I wasn’t hallucinating Melody hesitated for a moment. Then, she canceled the online car reservation and got into Ken’s car.
Since there was a free ride, it would be at
a waste not to
o take it.
Although she had earned 10 million dollars from Janet today, this 10 million dollars was still too little to buy medicinal herbs.
After all, besides the styling shop that Wilmot had given her and the little salary from Ken, she had no other source of income. She needed to save every dollar she could.
Before Ken could speak, Melody said, “I’m going to Herbathrive. Thank you?
Ken glanced at her coldly and asked, “You’re treating me like a driver?”
“No, no.” Melody waved her hand obsequiously. “I thought you were a good person, so I wanted you to give me a ride.”
“A good person?” Ken chuckled. “Then you’ve misjudged me.
“I didn’t misjudge you.” Melody became serious and said, “You handled this matter fairly today and were not biased toward, Janet. I can tell you’re a good person from this matter.”
“Think what you want.” Ken looked like he didn’t care.
The world of adults had never been one where right and wrong were clearly distinguished. There had to be a gray area between right and wrong.
He was not a good person. He was in a gray
ay area and could walk on both sides anytime.
As for the “good person” that Melody mentioned, he knew she was praising him, but for some reason, being called “a good. person” made him a little unhappy.
However, he could not be bothered to dwell on this matter. He stepped on the accelerator and drove toward Herbathrive.
Just as the car was about to reach the entrance of Herbathrive, Ken suddenly said, “Is money that important to you?”
“Yes. It’s important. It’s hard to move a single step without money. A wealthy man like you won’t understand, Melody replied.
Ken glanced at her and said, “You saved my grandmother. Even if you don’t have money, Russell won’t let you go hungry
now.

“I know” Melody shrugged.
“Then why do you need money so much? Even the gifts I gave you as the thank–you gift. You even want to sell them,” said
Ken
Melody smiled apologetically and said, Tm sorry. I really shouldn’t sell gifts, but I have no choice… I’m very short of money
Ken stepped on the brakes and asked Melody seriously, “What do you want so much money for? Or are you a gold digger to begin with?”
Tm not a gold digger. Melody muttered softly
After hesitating for two seconds, she decided to tell the truth.
She pointed to her face and said. “Do you see my face!”
Ken glanced at her and said expressionlessly. Tm not blind”
“Im not talking about that. I’m talking about what’s on my face She sighed and said, “I need to remove the red spots and acne on my face. It requires a lot of expensive herbs”
Ken was stunned. He had no idea Melody kept talking about money for this reason.
“How much do you need?” he asked.
I didn’t calculate it carefully. Previously, I thought millions of dollars would be enough. However, now that I’ve carefully understood the price. I realize I can’t do it without tens of millions of dollars,” said Melody.
If it were an ordinary poison, she could fix her face quickly. However, this poison was administered by her teacher to protect her
Her teacher’s medical skills were unparalleled in the world, but his poison–making skills were even better than his medical skills.
She had cured her face after making a name for herself in her previous life, so she did not remember how much she had spent on herbs.
“Tens of millions of dollars… Ken understood.
Not to mention whether Russell had this amount, even if he did, he would probably not be willing to spend money on Melody.
“That’s right.” Melody spread her hands and said, “So now you know why I need money so much, right?”
Ken looked away and stepped on the accelerator again. He turned the steering wheel and said. “I’ll give you one day to calculate how much you need, I can lend it to you for my grandma’s sake.”
“No need Melody shook her head. “I can’t get some medicinal herbs even if I have money. Ill think of a way myself.”
Ken’s eyes darkened as he said coldly, “Up to you!”
Others couldn’t wait to ask for his help, but Melody refused without hesitation, making Ken a little unhappy.
Melody sensed Ken’s displeasure and could not help but feel confused. Why? Isn’t he happy that he doesn’t need to lend money to me? This person is so strange!!
At this moment, the car arrived at the entrance of Herbathrive.

Chapter 117
Melody was about to get our of the car when she suddenly thought of the scene when they first met.
She couldn’t help but ask curiously, “You’ve asked me so many questions. Can I ask you a question?”
Ken said nothing, but Melody knew that he had tacitly agreed.
Melody asked the question in her heart, “When we first met… I took your dagger. That dagger seems to be very important to you, right?”
