Chapter 162
Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 162
Janet was just about in inquire carefully when someone suddenly pushed her aside and asked concernedly, âMabel, what did you loserâ Realizing that it was Melody. Mabel looked up and met Melodyâs cold, deep gare.
Melodyâs gaze sent chills down Mabelâs spine but the coldness disappeared in the blink of an eye, replaced by an
in expression full of c
Mabel wondered if she saw it wrongly, but before she could take a closer look, Melody grabbed her hand and began earnestly helping her search. âWhat are you doing?â Mabel subconsciously frowned
Melody let go of Mabelâs hand and said innocently. âYou lost something, so Iâm helping you look for it. Brooches are so small that they can easily fall off, maybe it fell somewhere on your clothes
knowing that brooches didnât fall off that easily. Mabel smirked coldly inside as she foresaw that Melody would be known as a thief soon.
After Mabel gave Yolanda a look, Yolanda immediately stepped forward to pull Melody aside, while Yolandaâs hand inadvertently knocked against Melodyâs head, causing Melodyâs beret to fall to the ground
Yolanda was filled with excitement while she quickly apologized before bending down to picki up Melodyâs hat, adding, âMelody, I was afraid you might tear Mabelâs clothes, Iâm sorry.â
Mabel also looked at
at the hat with anticipation because although the hat itself seemed usual, its lining was printed with dog patterns.
Janet had warned Mabel not to have anything related to dogs at this event because Fairleeâs mother had died of rabies after being bitten by a dog.
Now, as long as they turned the hat inside out to reveal the dog patterns, Melody would be finished because wearing a hat with dog patterns to Fairleeâs fortieth birthday celebration would be seen as a blatant provocation, and everyone would think Melody was an ignorant and malicious country bumpkin.
After apologizing for knocking off the hat, Yolanda picked the hat up and naturally turned inside out, handing it back to Melody with the lining facing up
She didnât look at Melody or the hat but instead stared directly at Fairlee, believing that Fairlee would explode in anger soon
However, a few seconds passed, and Fairleeâs expression remained unchanged
Yolanda thought. How could this be? Jinât Fairlee supposed to erupt in anger upon seeing the hat
Yolandaâs mind went blank for a moment, then she quickly looked at the hat, realizing the original dog pattern lining had somehow changed to a cat partern.
Upon recalling their visit to Wilmorâs shop for styling, Yolanda instantly
ly understood the situation and inwardly scolded Wilmot, determined to
teach him a lesson after this.
While Yolanda seeshed with anger, Mabel openly expressed her disbelief, exclaiming. âHow is this possible?â
Melody put her hat back on and asked Mabel with a faint smile, âMabel, what do you mean by how is this possible?â
With their plan failed, Mabel was both shocked and furious as she blurted out, âYour hat isnât..
Yolanda quickly tagged on Mabelâs sleeve and said, âMabel, now is not the time to worry about whether Melodyâs hat is an straight, letâs find the brooch Miss Murphy gave you firstâ
Yolanda smiled gently, and with just one sentence, she explained Mabelâs lapse due to her concern for Melodyâs hat.
The crowd couldnât help but look approvingly at Mabel, feeling that she was a girl with good character as she was still sa concerned about Melodyâs appearance even when she had lost something
Reminded by Yolanda, Mabel quickly regained her composure and masked all her emotions, comforting herself inwardly, âItâs fine, the hat trick failed, but thereâs still the brooch. Thank goodness that Mom is smart enough to set up multiple traps:
Thinking this, Mabel pretended to help Melody adjust her hat and then looked at Melodyâs chest, feeling fortunate that the brooch was still the same one she had pinneil earlier.
Mabel heaved a sigh of relief as she thought, Itâs just a coincidence earlier, Melody is so stupid, so how will she figure out our plant
The next second, Mabe pretended to be surprised and pointed to Melodyâs chest. âMelody, why is my brooch on you?â
Melody looked puzzled as she asked, âMabel, what brooch are you talking alarmı?â
Mabel was focused on her act and didnât notice the fleeting cold glint in Melodyâs eyes.
Chapter 162
The brooch on your chest is the brooch that I lost,â Mabel said with an aggrieved and forbearing expression. âMelody, if you wanted something of mine, you could have just asked as I would give you anything. But this brooch was a gift from Miss Murphy, how could you take a gift given to me by someone else?â
Melody looked like an innocent deer, pointing to the brooch, saying, âMabel you must be mistaken. This brooch was given to me by someone else, itâs not yours
Yolanda stepped forward at the right moment, her face stern. âMelody, why are you still lying at this point? I regret bringing you back from the countryside. When did you start this habit of stealing? Youâre simply disgraceful.â
Despite Yolandaâs accusations, Melodyâs expression remained unchanged as she continued to explain innocently. âThis is my brooch and I didnât take Mabelâs.â
Upon hearing this, Volanda vaguely sensed something was wrong, wondering why Melody wasnât even clarifying that the brooch had been pinned on her by Mabel earlier.
