Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158 

Melody was even more puzzled inside, but she didn’t reveal anything, nodding calmly. “Since we’re all family, there’s no need to apologize. Let’s just get along from now on.” 

Mabel’s smile widened as she quickly said. “Then let’s let bygones he bygones and never mention the past again, Mom, don’t you agree 

Yolanda nodded. “You are both my daughters, and I love you equally. From now on, let’s get along well” 

“Yes..” Melody curved her lips into a sincere smile. “Thank you for speaking up for me today” 

Seeing that the moment was right, Mabel took Melody’s hand and said, “We’re all family, so let’s not bring it up. Now that there are no misunderstandings between us, Melody, let’s get along from now on. In fact, my friend is having a party in a few days. Why don’t you come with 

ed Mabel iny 

Hearing this, Melody vaguely remembered Mabel inviting her to some party a few days ago. 

So this mother–daughter duo was putting on a show for this. 

It was clear that this would be a trap, and Mabel and Yolanda were plotting against h 

ther. 

Thinking it was troublesome, Melody had initially refused without a second thought, but now it seemed like a perfect opportunity to turn the tables on Mabel 

Yolanda added. “You’ve just come back from the countryside, and many people don’t know you. Use this chance to make some friends” 

Her tone was gentle but carried a hint of undeniable authority. 

“Well” Melody pretended to hesitate for a couple of seconds, then nodded. “Alright, let me know in advance so I can prepare.” 

“No problem!” Mabel made an OK gesture and said with feigned concern. “Melody, you should go check on Grandma. She didn’t look well earlier, and you know medicine, so you must take good care of her.” 

“Sure, I go see her now Melody smiled warmly and turned toward the backyard. 

As soon as Melody was out of sight. Mabel’s smile turned sinister and triumphant. “Mom, it seems like she was really moved by us speaking up for her today.” 

Yolanda’s frown didn’t ease, and she said worriedly, “That’s what it seems, but I feel like things went a bit too smoothly. She’s not someone who’s easily fooled…” 

“Who cares if she’s really fooled or not? We’re not actually going to reconcile with her. As long as she agrees to come to the party, our goal is achieved” 

Yolanda thought carefully and nodded. “Yes, you’re right. I’ll make all the necessary preparations. When the time comes, follow my lead. Make sure everything goes perfectly without any unexpected incidents. Do you understand?” 

Mabel nodded, then asked, “When is Dad coming back?” 

“He’s coming back the night of the party Yolanda replied, her lips curling into a cold smile. “I’ll be the perfect time to show him that his other daughter is nothing but a disgrace and can’t offer him any benefit” 

“Alright, Mom. Don’t worry. I’ll handle everything! Mabel promised 

With that assurance, Yolanda felt somewhat relieved but was preoccupied with another matter. 

She didn’t show it in front of Mabel. Instead, she went upstairs, took out her phone, and sent a message to the servant she had planted near Maria [Hello?] 

Melody had just checked on Maria, ensuring there were no major issues, and was about to return to her room when she received Yolanda’s message 

She quickly replied, [Yes, Mrs. Fox. Do you have any instructions?] 

Yolanda [What’s going on with Maria? According to the dosage, she shouldn’t even be able to get out of bed. How was she able to come to the living room today?] 

Melody carefully chose her words before responding. [Mrs. Fox, I was about to report to you. The medicine you bought this time doesn’t seem very effective. Could it be that you were sold a dud‘] 

After sending the message, it took a while for Yolanda to reply. [Got it. Keep an eye on Maria. Let her continue taking the medicine for a couple more days. If there’s no improvement, I’ll consult the seller.) 

Melody: [Understood, Mrs. Fox.

Chapter 158 

After replying, Melody’s lips curled into a cold smile. – 

She had expected Yolanda to be suspicious of Maria’s sudden appearance today: 

And sure enough, Yolanda had immediately contacted this phone. 

Melody snorted and then dialed James’s number, 

James answered almost instantly, “Miss Fox, what’s going on?” 

“Find out where Mabel is going for the party in a few days, Investigate the host’s household thoroughly. I want to know every detail, especially any taboos. 

“Got it.” On the other end, James hung up and promptly reported the task to Ken 

Ken remained unfazed. “Do as she says.” 

“Yes, James replied, then tentatively asked, “Mr. Swanson, are you still busy? If so, 1 can.” 

Tim not busy. Keep an eye on Melody for me,” Ken replied 

James’s eyes darkened slightly, “Yes, sir.” 

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
