Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144 

James thought. “No! How can I betray Miss Murphy! My change of opinion of Melody is unfair to Miss Murphy. I cannot be bewitched by him so easily 

James shook his head and quickly sorted out his messy thoughts. He walked forward and said expressionlessly, “Miss Fox, it’s been settled: 

“Okay.” Melody turned around and met James’s gaze. “Do you have a lot of questions for me about that man? You can ask me now that I’m in a good mood.” 

James choked and thought, ‘Is it that easy to tell?‘ 

Since Melody knew that he was going to ask, James did not beat around the bush and asked directly, “Who is that man? He knows the red card. He should be from the black market, right? What do you want him to do? How did you meet him?” 

Melody shrugged and did not hide anything. She told him everything about Yolanda buying medicine at the black market. 

James instantly understood. “You want him to cooperate with you to collect evidence of Yolanda poisoning Maria, right?” 

“Yes Melody nodded. 

Upon hearing this, James could not help but say, “Then you dont have to help him treat his illness at all. That red card can make him do whatever you want him to do.” 

He thought, Why did she have to treat him? Wasn’t it a waste of time? 

Of course, James did d not say these words. 

Is out loud. 

Having been by Ken’s side for so many years, he knew what to say and what not to say. 

However, even though James did not say it directly, Melody understood what he meant. 

She couldn’t help but frown. Then, she relaxed her brows and said, “For some people, it’s indeed enough to put pressure on them, but for people who are in the black market and can’t even go to the hospital directly, we can’t just put pressure on them. We have to use both punishment and reward. 

She thought, ‘Even a cornered beast would fight back, let alone a stall owner who can’t even reveal his true identity. That person is a person who has been involved in shady business all his life. Perhaps he will play a trick on me and sell all my information to Yolanda at a high price before escaping. Therefore, other than the red card, I had to use the antidote to make him loyal to me. 

Melody frowned again and said, “There can’t be any mistakes in Yolanda’s matter, so even if it’s unnecessary, I’m willing. If you 

think it’s troublesome to help me, go back to Ken.” 

As Melody spoke, she reached out to hail a taxi, opened the door and got in. 

When James saw this, he knew that what he had said just now was indeed not nice. He quickly got into the car. 

However, after hesitating for a long time, he still could not apologize to Melody. 

It was impossible for him to apologize to someone he disliked. 

In the backseat, Melody did not notice the conflicted look on James’s face at all. 

On the other side, after Mabel left the cafe, she was about to go to the hospital to see her swollen face when she saw Pamela getting into a car not far away. 

Thinking about how she had no choice but to push Pamela out to protect herself just now, Mabel felt both frustrated and annoyed. 

She accidentally touched her face and her eyes lit up. An idea popped up in her mind. She could not lose Pamela. 

Mabel smiled and quickly caught up. “Pam!” 

Pamela was about to get into the car when she suddenly heard Mabel’s voice. Her expression immediately turned cold. “Why are you still looking for me? I did those things for you, but you asked me to apologize to your sister. Do you even treat me as a friend?” Pamela turned around with a dark expression as she accused her. 

Mabel’s face was swollen and her eyes were misty. She looked pitiful and aggrieved. 

Stunned. Pamela subconsciously asked, “What happened to your face?” 

Mabel sniffed and covered her face with one hand in a panic. She forced a smile and said, “No, nothing…” 

Seeing this, Pamela reached out and pulled Mabel’s hand away from her face 

That face was usually well–maintained. At this moment, there was a palm print on her face, and half of her face was shockingly swollen. 

Pamela was even more surprised. “Who hit you?” 

Mabel shook her head. 

No one hit me. I was careless…” As soon as she finished speaking, tears fell at the right time. 

Pamela quickly made a judgment. “It’s Melody, right?” 

Mabel shook her head again. “She didn’t do it on purpose… 

After confirming that it was indeed Melody who did it, Pamela widened her eyes in disbelief and said, “You even criticized me, your friend, for her, and she actually hit you?” 

Mabel said, “She really didn’t do it on purpose…” 

Pamela stomped her foot angrily. “Mabell I really don’t know what to say about you. You’re usually very smart, and your grades are the best among your friends. Why are you acting like a fool when you are around Melody? She’s already bullied you to this extent, yet you’re still defending her and speaking up for her? What’s in your head? Is it mush?” 

Mabel said, “I she… 

“Stop talking” Pamela pulled Mabel into the car and instructed the driver, “Go to the hospital!” 

When Mabel heard this, she knew that her ruse had worked. 

The comers of her lips curled up slightly, and she instantly returned to her pitiful appearance, Pam, we were indeed in the wrong today. Can you not blame my sister?” 

Pamela opened her mouth but did not know how to persuade Mabel. 

In the end, she sighed heavily. Although she agreed, she was thinking about how to avenge Mabel and make her realize this siruation.. 

Soon, night fell
