Melody Strikes Back
Chapter 184
As Cadenceâs car drove away, Melody nied the pit bull to a tree. Squatting down, she instructed the dog and said. âStay here, Iâll be back to get you!
She patted the dogâs head and walked towards the backyard,
It wasnât that Melody didnât want revenge and to take Cadenceâs life directly
A mad dog, biting its own owner. How could a weak and defenceless woman like her stop it?
No one could blame Melody.
However, knowing Cadenceâs feelings for Ulric, she realized Cadence still had some use to her.
Otherwise, she could have simply let the pit bull kill Cadence.
ot at fault. It just hadnât met a good owner. But now it had.
As for the dog, it was just an animal incapable of independent thought. The dog wasnât at
Melody quickened her pace towards the backyard.
as she was about to reach it, she saw Ken walking towards the back door.
Just as
Seeing her, his cold eyes softened slightly, but then he frowned and asked, âWhy are you wandering around?â
Melody said. 1.
Before Melody could explain. Ken noticed something was off.
He grabbed her and clearly saw the abrasions on her body.
These were injuries from being knocked down by the pit bull. Although she wasnât bitten, she had many scrapes and bruises, especially near the hack of her neck, which will hurt.
âWhat happened?â Kenâs eyes turned icy.
âIâ Melody hesitated, unsure if she should tell Ken about Cadence.
Since Cadence arrived, Ken hadnât been particularly cold to her, indicating they had some connection
Melody never considered herself important enough to Ken to be placed above Cadence.
elody was still hesitant. Then she heard Ken speak in a cold voice, âWhat did Cadence do to you?â
However, Melody was
Melody looked at Ken in surprise, seeing his furrowed brows and unusually cold expression.
She stared at Ken in astonishment, unable to avoid his gaze as she reluctantly spilled the whole incident about the pit bull.
As soon as she finished speaking, Kenâs expression grew colder again.
Ken said, âYou knew she didnât like you, yet you followed her? What were you thinking? Are you out of your mind? Youâre usually so clever, but now youâre acting like a foolâ
Tm not a foolâ¦â She instinctively retorted, but her voice trailed off weakly. âI was prepared for it mentally, but I never thought sheâd actually bring a dog with her.â
Kenâs sharply defined face grew even colder. âThat just proves how foolish you are!â
âMelody was annoyed now, her cheeks putting our
He glanced at her coldly, then grabbed her collar and started walking towards the back door.
âWhere are you taking me? Melody had no choice but to follow Ken
Ken said. âTo tend to your wound?â
Melody said. âHut what about Margaret?â | |
Ken said, âLook at you now. Do you want to make her worry
try about you? Sheâs just recovering from a serious illnessâ
Melody pouted, saying âYou JUST donât want to ruin Cadenceâs image in everyoneâs minds, do you?â

Chapter 181
Ken paused, his gaze turning to her sharply. âWhat did you say?â
âNothingâ¦â Melodyâs defiance waned.
To the Swanson family, she was more of an outsider compared to Cadence. Naturally, Ken would be biased towards Cadence, even if her father was Wendell.
She had nothing to complain about it was human nature,
But then Ken said wearily, âIll warm her. But sheâs usually kind to Margaret, so Iâm afraid I canât do much to her. But I will help you teach her a lesson.
Melody was surprised. âYouâre going to help me teach her a lesson?â
Ken didnât answer, releasing his grip on her collar and saying, âFollow me!â
Melody looked at Ken with mixed feelings. She couldnât understand what he was thinking
Werenât they here today to discuss divorcel
Why didnât he mention
tit at all, and now he was leaving without even saying goodbye to Margareth
After a short pause, Melody decided to follow him.
Anyway, her current appearance wasnât suitable for meeting Margaret.
Margaret would worry about her, and it involved Cadence. Margaret would be even more worried.
Soon. Ken and Melody left the estate.
After more than half an hour, the car stopped at a lakeside villa.
She knew this place, it was called Serenity Villa, with frightfully high house prices
The car stopped in front of the lakeside villa in the center of Serenity Villa.
Melody followed Ken into the villa.
Ken rang the doorbell, and a middleâaged woman with a kind look opened the door.
Seeing Ken, she was surprised for a moment and said hastily, âSar, I thought you wouldnât be back for dinner, so I didnât prepare anything
Before she finished speaking, the middleâaged woman saw Melody behind Ken, her expression even more surprised, but she didnât say anything.
âWeâve already eaten,â Ken said, introducing simply. âThis is Susan, who takes care of things when Iâm here. This is Melody
Susan hurriedly said, âMiss Fox, nice to meet you!â
Her surprise didnât diminish.
âNice to meet you. Melody nodded in greeting.
âGo upstairs,â Ken said, taking the lead to walk inside.
Melody hurried to follow, glancing around the villa as she walked.
Fox
The villa had a simple modern design with a living room ceiling height of 20 feet. It had everything one would expect, yet it seemed to lack something.
Melody thought carefully and realized what was i
was missing, vitality,
Unlike a bore, it felt more like a hotel.
As they walked up the stairs, she subconsciously looked down and saw Susan waving friendly at her.
She nodded again and withdrew her gaze to follow Ken
The two entered a suite on the second floor.
As soon as they entered, Ken walked into the bedroom.

âCome in
Should she go in?
Melody hesitated for a moment, then stepped in.
As soon as she entered the bedroom, she smelled a manâs scent, accompanied by a pleasant scent that Ken often had.
She
Ken sitting on the edge of the bed, with a white medical kit beside him, motioning for her to come over.
She didnât want to sit on a manâs bed, but Ken looked so natural that if she hesitated, she would seem affected
Thinking like this. Melody walked over and sat down boldly
The next moment, she heard Ken say, âTake off your clothes
Melodyâs back stiffened. Take off my clothes?â
Ken glanced at her with a half smile. âWhat havenât I seen of yours?â
Melodyâs cheeks instantly turned red.
They had just met, and they had already seen each other nakedâ¦.
But the circumstances were different then.
Melody tried to stay calm and said seriously, âI donât think Iâm injured enough to need your help, so please give me the medicine and Iâll take care of it myself.â
