Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Astrid was so angry that she held her forehead and said, “Idiot! Of course, you need to return the money to Taynorma Capital 

“But…” Wendell stammered. 

“What You’re about to be chased out of the Swanson Group, yet you still feel sorry for this 10 million dollars?” Astrid asked. 

“No, but..” Wendell gritted his teeth and stammered. “I’ve already used up the 10 million dollars…. 

“You used it up? What about your other money? You’ve been in the Swanson Group for so long. You must have made some money. Don’t tell me you can’t even save 10 million dollars! Tell me honestly, did you gamble again?” Astrid asked furiously. 

Wendell saw that he could not hide it anymore, so he could only tell the truth. “T… Astrid, I won’t gamble anymore in the future! Please save me this time!” 

“You! You’re driving me crazy!” Astrid was so angry that her migraine was about to flare up. However, the other party was her biological brother and she needed her people in the Swanson Group. In the end, she could only transfer 10 million dollars 

to Wendell. 

She said. “This is the last time! I definitely won’t help you next time! Also, you’d better find a traditional medicine practitioner who can perform nine–line acupuncture in three days. Otherwise, you’ll have to return this 10 million dollars to 

me” 

When Wendell heard this, he agreed repeatedly. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

It was just a traditional medicine practitioner. Compared to 10 million dollars, it was nothing. 

“Don’t worry, Astrid. I’ll find a doctor for Ulric and treat his legs, said Wendell. 

That better be the case!” Astrid said and hung up. 

If the other party weren’t her biological brother, she wouldn’t care about this idiot. 

“He can’t do anything right!” Astrid scolded as she found Ulric and quickly told him Ken was already in charge of the headquarters pro tempore. 

Ulric said with a dark expression, “I had no idea about this. It seems Ken is more important than me in Father’s heart.” 

“How is that possible? You’re his son too. He can’t be so biased that he won’t give you anything, Astrid comforted him. 

Ulric sneered with a complicated expression and said, “If Father weren’t biased, why did he still protect Ken even though Ken crippled my legs and didn’t let us call the police? If I was the one who crippled Ken’s legs back then, do you think Father would have let me off?” 

“Of course, he would!” Astrid blurted out. 

She gritted her teeth. She knew very well that her status in Ramon’s heart wasn’t as high as his ex–wife’s, but she firmly believed that after being by his side for so many years, Ramon must have her and her son in his heart. 

At the thought of this, Astrid said, “He protected Ken and didn’t let us call the police because he didn’t want to expose his dirty laundry 

Is that the case?” Ulric looked at Astrid deeply and said, “Or do you think Father won’t suspect my legs?” 

Astrid felt a chill down her spine and subconsciously denied it. He can’t possibly suspect anything!”

O 

Although she said that, Astrid started to panic for no reason. 

“Let’s not dwell on this anymore.” Ulric looked away and said coldly, Tm telling you this because I want to tell you that if 

I will remove all obstacles for the Swanson Group, induding Father!” 

necessary, 

Astrid’s back stiffened, but she didn’t say anything to dissuade him. 

In her heart, her son was much more important than her husband. 

“How’s the search for the doctor who can perform nine–line acupuncture?” Ulric grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair and asked. 

It was difficult for him to move. Although he could walk, he could only rely on his walking stick and could not walk far. Therefore, he had to rely on Astrid to do many things. 

At the mention of the doctor who could perform nine–line acupuncture, Astrid quickly said, “I’m looking for him. I’ve also asked your uncle to help me find one. As you know, although your uncle is unreliable, he knows all kinds of people. He might have more connections than me.” 

“As soon as possible. We don’t have much time left. If Ken stays in the headquarters for too long, and things become like at the Insterimond branch, we won’t be able to shake his position. 

“I know. I’ll do it as soon as possible!” said Astrid. 

After the mother and son finished talking about Ken, Ulric mentioned Melody again. “Keep an eye on that ugly freak too. It’s best if we can get rid of her directly. Although I don’t know why, I feel a little uneasy.” 

“Melody?” Astrid smiled coldly and said, “Don’t worry. I just heard that Fairlee from the court is finding trouble with her. Her nephew is still lying in the hospital. She can’t take this lying down. Fairlee will help us destroy Melody without us doing anything.” 

“Very good… In that case, there’s no need to reveal Ken’s marriage to the public now. Otherwise, it won’t be good if Fairlee retreats because of the Swanson family.” Ulric reminded his mother. 

“I know. How can I not even know this?” Astrid said. 

As the mother and son spoke, they fell into a dead silence, each making plans. 

On the other side, Melody took out the two most valuable bags from the pile of gifts and put them in the bags before walking out. 

Although she didn’t have a receipt, she still planned to go to the counter and ask whether she could get a refund. After all, she hadn’t even opened the box. 

However, when she passed by the hall, Melody happened to bump into Mabel, who was about to go out to attend the socialite training class. 

She ignored Mabel, but Mabel stuck to her like a sticky candy. When she saw Melody taking a taxi on her phone, she pretended to be surprised and asked, “Melody, didn’t Dad arrange a driver for you? Dad is too much. You’ve been back for so long, but he still hasn’t assigned you a driver. After I return from school tonight, I’ll help you talk to Dad. Or I’ll get Dad to lend you the driver he assigned to me.” 

When Melody heard this, she stopped and suddenly paused. “Do you hear anything?” 

When Mabel heard this, she subconsciously shut up and listened. She, she shook her head. “No, what did you hear!” 

“I heard a pig barking. Maybe a pig was yelling just now.” As soon as Melody finished speaking, the online car she had called

arrived. Melody immediately opened the car door and got in. 

The car sped away quickly. Mabel, still standing at the same spot had yet to react. 

“The sound of a pig? A pig was yelling?” Mabel scratched her head in confusion and suddenly realized what Molody meant. 

She immediately stomped her foot in exasperation and scolded “Bitch! You’re the bitch! You bitch!” 

However, Melody had already taken a car out of the neighborhood and could not hear Mabel’s scolding. 

Mabel was so angry that her face almost turned green. 

“Damn it… I won’t let you off, Melody!” Mabel gritted her teeth and suddenly, her eyes lit up. 

“Oh, right… Mom has told me not to make a move before Grandma dies. However, Mom is not always right. I must kill Melody today! With that in mind, Mabel had a vicious plan. She looked at the time on her phone, turned around, and quickly ran to the villa. Then, she quietly went to Yolanda’s room. 

At that time, Yolanda had not woken up yet. She secretly went to the safe where Yolanda had hidden her things and took out a card.
