Chapter 94
“Go. Ken instructed James in a low voice. “Find out who Melody knew when she was in the countryside. Most importantly ⠀find out whom she learned her medical skills from“
He wanted to investigate Melody’s background.
Even if Ken married Melody to suit his grandmother’s wishes, he could not tolerate his nominal wife being a person of unknown background.
“Okay!” James had long wanted to do this. He immediately agreed and went to the countryside to investigate.
At the same time, Janet, who had made an appointment with Jaines to see a house, waited in front of the real estate sales building for two hours, but James was nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, the real estate salesperson walked to her with a strange expression and asked, “Miss, it’s been two hours. When do you plan to pay?”
Janet noticed the other party’s eyes were filled with disdain and displeasure, questioning whether she could afford a house
Janet’s expression was dark as she replied, “I’m waiting for someone. I’ll go pay soon.”
It was not that she could not afford it. It was just 6 million dollar. To her, it was ist an insignificant sum of money
However, this was a house given to her by Ken Who would pay for it had a different meaning.
However, the salesperson’s expression was even more disdainful She stuck out her nose and said. “Miss, you’re so beautiful. Why do you have to rely on a man at such a young age instead of relying on yourself? It’s not that I want to say this, but the price of this house is not low. Are you sure the man behind you will fork out this money for you? Why don’t we stop wasting each other’s time! Coincidentally, a guest has taken a fancy to the house you chose. You can come again another day.”
“What do you mean?” Even Janet, a socialite, could not help but be angry.
She asked, “Are you saying I have a sugar daddy!”
The salesperson shrugged. “I didn’t say that. Don’t accuse me.”
“You…” Janet had a high self–esteem. Coupled with the fact that she was the young lady of the Murphy family in Insterimand, she didn’t care to quarrel with these lower–class people. This was an act of lowering her status.
Hence, Janet opened her mouth but said nothing in the end. She went to the payment office with a cold expression and bought the house.
Janet only felt better when she saw the salesperson’s surprised gaze.
After she walked out of the door, Janet took a deep breath before dialing James’s phone.
James had followed Ken since he was young. To Ken, James was got only his subordinate. He was also Ken’s friend who had risked his life for Ken. It was why Janet waited two hours without calling James to urge him.
Not long after, James’s call went through.
“Miss Murphy, what’s the matter?” As soon as James said that, he realized he had forgotten Ken’s other instruction to buy a house with Janet today.
He choked and was about to apologize when he heard Janet laugh understandingly. “Looks like you’re very busy today”
Hearing this. James felt even more guilty. Tm sorry, Miss Murphy. I forgot… It’s all my fault. I’ll come over immediately.”

“No need. I’ve already height the house. I’m calling in case you come a
all this way for nothing,” said Janet
James’s face turned red with guilt, and his grip on the phone involuntarily tightened. “Miss Murphy, I….I need to tell you something”
“Yes! Just say it.” Janet sounded indifferent
“Actually Mr. Ken and Miss Fox are about to get married” said James.
He knew Ken did not want to tell anyone about this now, but he knew Janet’s feelings for Ken. Janet was such an understanding person, so he did not want to hide it from her.
When the person on the other end of the phone heard James’s words, she almost fell.
“What… did you say?” Janet tried to steady herself, but her voice was still trembling.
