Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188 

However, she only saw a look of confusion on Melody’s face. 

Melody said. “Yolanda, what the hell are you talking about? I can count on my fingers the places I’ve been to recently, but I’ve never been to a gambling house.” 

Yolanda thought, You still refuse to admit it before your doom!” 

‘Let’s see how long you can keep up the acıf 

Yolanda cursed in her heart but said calmly. Is 

sly. “Is that so! Then tell me, where did you go at ten past ten on the morning of the 18th!” 

Melody thought for two seconds and said. “I met a friend who took me to karaoke bar to sing. But I don’t like noisy occasions, so I left not long after.” 

“The morning of the 18th 

When Russell heard this, he could not help but be stunned. 

Wasn’t Silverlake’s largest underground gambling house built under a karaoke bar! 

He immediately frowned. “Yolanda, are you mistaken? Although Melody has many bad habits, she can’t go to such a place 

“Russell! Don’t be fooled by her. She went there the day after I lost 4 million dollars. Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence! Besides, if the butler is right, the friend she mentioned should be a man, right?” Yolanda yelled, 

“A man” Russell’s expression tumed gloomy again. “Did you actually hang out with a stranger man!“ 

Melody said calmly, “Dad, he’s not a stranger man. He’s my friend.” 

Yolanda sneered and said, “Friend? A friend who asked you to steal money from your family y and bring you to the gambling house! That’s really good friend!” 

Melody looked up at Yolanda. “If you. 

you and Dad don’t believe me, 

I can get him to come over now and explain the karaoke bar incident.” 

“Ha. Yolanda sneered. “What an excuse. Who knows if you’ve colluded with him in advance?” 

“Ahem!” Maria coughed, her eyes filled with warning. 

Yolanda restrained her emotions and said, “Then call him over now, 

have to put him on speaker. 

“Sure.” Melody nodded slightly and dialed James’s number in front of everyone. “Hello, come to my house. Now 

With th 

that, she hung up. 

It was clean and straightforward. Without any unnecessary words, it was impossible for there to be any so–called “colluding in advance. 

Yolanda sneered. She did not think that Melody had any chance of turning the tables. 

Besides, even if Melody managed to fool them, she had a trump card to play. 

The living room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Only the sound of Maria sitting on the sofa could be heard. 

Yolanda looked at Maria’s nimble movements: Maria did not look like someone who was about to die at all, and Yolanda could not help but frown. 

with the medicine she bought last time! Could it be that there was really something wrong 

What a damn drug dealer! Yolanda cursed in her heart. 

At this moment, there was a knock 

k on the door. 

Everyone in the living room looked at the door in unison. 

The person was tall and strong. His windbreaker carried the night breeze. The moment he entered, the air in the living room seemed to plummet. 

The moment Yolanda saw who it was, her eyes widened. ‘How could it be him? Could this be a coincidence! 

Melody also looked slightly surprised. ‘Why is Ken here! I called James… 

“Mr. Swanson“” Russell reacted quickly and stepped forward with a fawning smile. “Mr. Swanson, why did you make a special trip here in the middle of the night?”

He did not associate Melody’s “friend” with Ken at all. 

Ken’s gaze swept across everyone’s faces. After staring at Melody’s face for two seconds, he turned to look at Russell and said, “Melody called me: 

The corners of Russell’s mouth twitched. He looked at Melody with a stiff smile and asked, “Melody, is the friend you mentioned… Mr. Swanson?” 

Melody had already reacted and nodded I naturally. Then, she slowly said. “He invited us that day. His assistant, James, took me to the karaoke bar to sing. I left after staying for a while. I didn’t go to the gambling house that Yolanda mentioned. I don’t even know where the door to the gambling house is. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Ken and James,” 

James then entered. When he heard this, he instantly understood Melody’s arrangement that day. 

Russell looked embarrassed. He turned around and glared at Yolanda. Then, he quickly put on a fawning smile and said, “Mr. Swanson, it’s a misunderstanding. My family thought that Melody went somewhere she shouldn’t have 

1. me. Since it was your party, 

I’m relieved.” 

“Impossible…” Yolanda blurted out indignantly. However, she was so frightened by Russell’s gaze that she swallowed her words. 

Ken looked at Yolanda with a faint smile. “Mrs. Fox doesn’t seem to trust me very much. Although I have a ridiculous reputation, Miss Fox is my grandmother’s savior. I definitely won’t lead her astray. To be honest, I invited Miss Fox to sing that day to thank her. However, Miss Fox has a reserved personality and is not suitable for such an occasion, so I let her leave when I saw that she was uncomfortable.
