Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker novel Chapter 195

Chapter 195 

“Breaking news! Silk Beauty Cosmetics has launched a new product, All–Purpose Water. Wilmot Sherman, Chairman of Icy Clear Cosmetics, has filed a lawsuit against Silk Beauty Cosmetics.” 

“Wilmot Sherman?‘ Melody was surprised to find out that Wilmot was the chairman of a well–known domestic cosmetics company in the country. The company’s market value exceeded one billion dollars. 

She was astonished to realize that her knowledge of Wilmot was so limited that she had always thought he was just a well–known stylist with a few beauty and styling shops. 

She carefully read the news and discovered that Wilmot suspected that the formula for Silk Beauty Cosmetics’s newly launched All–Purpose Water was stolen formula. 

In the news, Wilmot claimed that the formula for All–Purpose Water highly overlaps with the flagship product Golden Water of Icy Clear Cosmetics. He alleged that Silk Beauty had poached internal employees from Icy Clear Cosmetics to obtain the formula for Golden Water. 

On the other hand, Silk Beauty vehemently denied it and repeatedly emphasized in interviews that their All–Purpose Water had significantly better effects than Golden Water, yet the price was half as low. 

One could imagine that the launch of All–Purpose Water would pose a significant threat to Icy Clear Cosmetics. 

Melody specifically checked Icy Clear Cosmetics‘ stock after the launch of All–Purpose Water and noticed that its stock plummeted instantly. 

She was certain that Wilmot was extremely worried now. 

He had helped her many times before, and now was the time she felt she should repay him. 

Just as Melody was about to call him, Wilmot happened to call. 

She answered the phone in surprise, and before she could ask anything, Wilmot anxiously said, “Melody, could you help me pick up Shane from school?” 

Melody hesitated for a moment, then quickly replied, “No problem, but isn’t it too early? The class hasn’t ended yet.” 

“Shane got into a fight and got injured. I’m out of town and can’t rush back. Her nanny had to leave for her hometown due to personal matters, and I don’t trust anyone else. After thinking it over, I can only ask for your help,” Wilmot said. 

“No problem. Leave Shane to me. Don’t worry, and focus on what you need to do,” Melody said. 

“Yes, I’ll definitely be back tonight. Sorry to trouble you,” Wilmot said. 

“What trouble? Go back to your work.” Melody hung up the phone and informed James of the kindergarten’s address, then said, “Please drive faster.” 

James looked at her with a strange expression and said, “Miss Fox, don’t forget your identity. You are now Mr. Swanson’s legal wife. It doesn’t seem quite appropriate for you to help another man with his child, does it?” 

“What wife? Are we married?” Melody asked. 

James choked for a moment. It made sense, so he drove to the kindergarten. 

During the trip, James secretly told Ken about Melody’s plans without her knowing. 

Ximber Tech office. 

Ken looked at the message sent by James, his eyes dark and unclear. He reached into his drawer for a cigarette box and slowly lit one. 

Standing across the desk reporting work, Janet looked at him with some surprise and quickly reminded him, “Ken, you have a cold, so don’t smoke.” 

Ken held the cigarette between his lips, hesitated in lighting it, then impatiently tossed away the lighter. Then, he tapped his finger on the desk and said, “Go on.” 

Janet nodded and continued reporting, “The materials from Europe have alr

She asked in shock, “Ken, are you going out?” 

Ken nodded. Without further explanation, he walked out.

Janet hurriedly chased after him. “Where are you going? 

“I have something to do. Summarize the work and send it to my email. I’ll review it later.” With that, Ken entered the elevator. 

Janet stood in place, her expression grim. A sense of suspicion rose in her mind. Then, she stepped into another elevator. 

Two minutes later, a Maybach sped out of the building, followed by a silver Mercedes–Benz. 

Meanwhile, at the kindergarten entrance. 

Melody anxiously waited at the entrance for a while until she finally saw Shane being led out by the teacher, crying. 

“Shane?” Melody hurriedly walked up to him. 

Shane looked up and as soon as he saw her, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran into her arms. 

Melody quickly squatted down and hugged Shane firmly, gently asking. “Are you okay, Shane? Let me see if you’re injured.” 

Shane did not answer. He only hugged her neck and cried. 

Melody could only raise her head and ask the teacher, “Could you please tell me what happened?” 

The teacher smiled awkwardly and said vaguely, “Nothing much, just kids playing around.” 

Melody frowned. “There must be a reason behind kids playing rough, right?” 

Her expression suddenly turned cold. The teacher was a little frightened and looked away in a panic. “It’s, it’s because…” 

Before she could finish speaking, a luxury car suddenly stopped behind Melody, its rearview mirror almost hitting her. 

The passenger–side door promptly opened, and a stylish woman stepped out. “What’s going on? Who beat up my Neil?” 

Melody subconsciously looked over and saw that the woman looked very familiar.
