Chapter 126
As Russell spoke, he turned to ask Mabel, “Mabel, right?”
On the surface, he still had to take care of Melody. After all. Melody’s medical skills were extraordinary. There would be a time when he could use her.
Mabel had yet to recover from her shock
However, when she saw Melody approaching her and saw that Russell had also seen Melody, she finally reacted that Melody was not a ghost. She was not dead
Mabel thought, How is that possible! I hired the most expensive assassins on the black market. When I placed the order, the person in charge of assigning the assassins advised me not to hire the most expensive one. They said that to deal with a young lady. I could just use the cheapest Black Team Using the Crimson Team was like using a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. In other words, the Crimson Team would never fail. However, Melody is indeed alive right now. What is going on
Mabel’s mind was in a mess.
“Mabel, is what Dad said true?” Melody deliberately walked forward and asked, “Why do you seem very surprised to see me? Do you think that I died in an accident and came back to life…
As soon as she finished speaking, Mabel’s face turned pale and she swayed.
She thought, Could it be that Melody… knew that I had hired an assassin
However, in the blink of an eye, Mabel rejected this possibility
The transactions in the black market were absolutely confidential to the outside world. It was impossible for her to be exposed, not to mention that she was employing the top Crimson Team
Mabel’s face finally regained a trace of color after she believed that this was a coincidence.
She smiled stiffly and said. “Melody, stop joking. I just happened to see a black cat passing by the roadside and was frightened It has nothing to do with you.”
“I see…” Melody nodded with a faint smile. “Then you have to be careful. When I was in the countryside, I often heard from the old people that seeing black cars is a very ominous sign. If you can avoid going out recently, it’s better to stay home. Nothing is more important than living safely.”
“Thank you for your concern. I’ll be fine.” Mabel’s lips twitched. Her smile was uglier than crying.
If Russell had not been by her side, she would have strangled Melody to death.
Mabel thought, ‘Black cats are an unlucky sign? No, you are!
Mabel clenched her fists tightly and tried her best to maintain her composure.
When Russell saw that the sisters were getting along well, he smiled in satisfaction and said. “The relationship between the two of you is getting better and better. Sisters should help each other like this. Alright, let’s go back and eat.
As Russell spoke, he led the way.
Mabel followed in a daze. A question kept repeating in her mind, “Why is Melody still alive?
Mabel lost her appetite during dinner because of that.
When dinner was finally over, she hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

Chapter 120
Ο
About two hours later, Mabel walked out of the black market in a daze.
She went to question the person in charge of the Crimson Tearn, but the other party did not give her any explanation and refused to return the
money.
She threatened to call the police if the other party did not return the money, but the other party threatened her instead, saying that calling the police was equivalent to turning herself in
After the argument, she was almost beaten up by those people, so she could only give up and run home dejectedly.
She gritted her teeth in anger at the thought of all her money going down the drain.
In the living room, just as Yolanda was feeling anxious about the fact that Mabel was not back yet, Mabel came back. Yolanda quickly went forward and said angrily and worriedly. “Where did you go! Your father asked me just now. I was so frightened that I could only say that you were asked by another socialite to learn dance. If he finds out that you wandered around, you will be punished!”
Mabel wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she did not dare to tell Yolanda the truth. She only said, “I didn’t wander around. Didn’t you ask me to please that young lady from Insterimond? She invited me to one of her aunts‘ birthday banquet in a few days.”
When Yolanda heard this, her expression softened a little. “I see. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn’t have to worry. Alright, it’s getting late. Co and rest. You still have to go to the extracurricular class tomorrow morning.”
Mabel nodded. She was not in the mood to chat with Yolanda and hurried upstairs.
However, after washing up and lying in bed, Mabel tossed and turned. She could not understand why the Crimson Team did not succeed in taking Melody’s life.
She thought. “Could it be that Melody had a backer? However, she is just a country bumpkin. How can she have a backer?”
After thinking about it, Mabel could only conclude that the people in the black market were all liars and it was a lie that she could hire assassins at the black market.
If she had known this would happen, she would not have gone to the black market in the first place.
At the thought that her 4 million dollars was gone just like that, Mabel’s heart ached even more and she hated Melody even
more.
At this moment, she suddenly felt something cold under her pillow.
Puzzled, she took out the item and remembered that it was a brooch that Janet had given her.
This brooch was expensive and priceless. There were only 100 of them in the world.
Just as she was about to put the brooch back, a vicious plan suddenly appeared in her mind.
She pursed her lips coldly. After putting the brooch away, she lay back on the bed.
Since the black market could not take down Melody, she would do it herself.
At the same time, in order not to arouse Yolanda’s suspicion, Melody went to the place that Yolanda had mentioned after midnight and took away the herbs soaked in mercury sulfide. She then carefully hid them.
