Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 

When Melody called herself Ken’s “wife,” she looked nonchalant because she had never taken their marriage seriously. 

After all, she did not have any romantic feelings for Ken. 

When Margaret found a more suitable candidate, she and Ken could get a divorce at any time. Therefore, she only said the word “wife” for joking 

However, when Ken heard the word, he somehow felt sonsething strange. 

However, he quickly regained his usual cold expression and asked indifferently, “What do you want the pass for? No matter what you went to the black market for last time, there’s no need to go there again in the future.” 

“I have no choice. Melody spread her hands and said. “Your black market has too many rare medicinal herbs unavailable on the regular market. Please give me one.” 

As Melody spoke, she added, “I don’t have the money to buy a pass now, but I won’t let you lose out. Let me tell you a business opportunity. Buy as many houses as you can in Eastern Garden.” 

“Eastern Garden?” Ken raised his eyebrows slightly and revealed an expression that said, “Are you kidding me?” 

“That’s right, Eastern Garden” Melody looked firm. 

Ken glanced at her and said, “Don’t tell me you used all 8 million dollars to buy a house in Eastern Garden. 

“That’s right. I bought ten sets and haven’t had time to sign them yet,” said Melody. 

Ken was stunned again. Then, he frowned and said, “Since you haven’t signed the contract, don’t buy it. It’s located in the suburbs of Silverlake. It’s inconvenient in all aspects, and the property price has been falling. As far as I know, this building has been on sale for a long time and hasn’t been sold out until now, which means there’s no prospect 

“No,” Melody said firmly, “Believe me. I won’t frame you. 

“Up to you.” Ken threw her a pass and said expressionlessly. “If you lose everything, don’t come crying to me.” 

Melody pursed her lips and muttered inwardly, ‘If you don’t believe me, forget it. The housing price will increase very quickly, and it will soar! 

It was a pity she did not have more money to buy houses. Otherwise, she would buy all the ones available. 

With this thought in mind, Melody lowered her head to look at the pass that Ken had thrown at her. She saw that it still had the iconic wolf head of the black market on it, but the color was red 

“This Why is the color different?” Melody asked. 

Ken glanced at her. “Just take it. If any assassins from the black market come looking for you in the future, just take out this card. Then, they won’t hurt you. 

“Okay… Melody nodded. It was fine as long as she could enter the black market. 

As for those assassins, it was true that she had not trained in her new life. Otherwise, even if a few more people from the Crimson Team came, she could still deal with them. 

The car arrived at the Fox family’s house in the blink of an eye. 

Ken said concisely, “Go back and pack your things. From today coward, you’ll stay with my grandmother in the Swanson family’s house.” 

Chapter 191 

Melody was stunned and quickly refused. “No need… I’m fine staying at home. Moreover, I have to treat my grandmother’s illness and can’t leave. Besides, I’m afraid Astrid will kill me if I stay at the Swanson family’s house.” 

She had too many things to do recently and did not have the time to deal with Astrid for the time being. 

Moreover, Ulric lived in the Swanson family’s residence. She was afraid that she would kill Ulric without caring about the 

consequences. 

Ken frowned again when he heard what she said. He said coldly, Up to you!” 

Melody glanced at Ken and knew that he was angry. 

“Ken is rich but has a bad temper, but I can’t leave now and can’t go to the Swanson family, Melody thought. 

Hence, Melody only thanked him before opening the car door and leaving 

However, when she got out of the car, she saw two men in black standing not far away from her. 

Just as she was wondering if these two people were also killers, she heard Ken’s voice coming from the car. “They’re my people. They’ll ensure your safety 

“Thank you, but I don’t think I need… Before she could finish her sentence, Ken’s car had already left, leaving behind a trail of exhaust fumes. 

“Ahem…” Melody covered her nose 

and coughed. 

The two bodyguards happened to walk to her. “Miss Fox, we were sent by Mr. Ken to protect you. If you have any orders, feel free to instruct us 

“I do have an order.” Melody poked the biceps of one of the bodyguards and nodded in satisfaction. “I usually don’t have any trouble, so I don’t need you most of the time. How about this? When my life isn’t in danger, please don’t appear. Otherwise, it will be too eye–catching 

“Got it! Miss Fox“” The two bodyguards bowed slightly to her and turned to leave. Soon, they disappeared into the darkness. If one did not look carefully, they would not be able to see them at all. 

Only then did Melody feel relieved. She carried the herbs into the back door of the villa. 

She couldn’t announce that she was treating Maria for the time being, so she avoided people as much as possible. 

Fortunately, she did not encounter anyone on the way to the backyard. She successfully brought the medicinal herbs to Maria’s room. 

Maria slept most of the time and was awake for only a while recently. When Melody entered, Maria was still unconscious. 

When Hattie saw her return, she stepped forward to wake Mariajup. 

“Don’t.” Melody quickly stopped Hattie and said, “Wake Grandma up after the medicine is ready–She’s weak now, so it won’t hurt to sleep a little longer.” 

“Okay” Hattie nodded repeatedly, believing Melody’s words without a doubt, 

Melody walked around Maria’s room and used the testing software she had created to confirm no bugs or cameras were there. Then, she started to prepare the medicine in the room in peace, 

When the medicine was ready, Maria happened to wake up. 

After Maria drank a bowl of medicine, Melody sighed in relief.
