Chapter 208
Hearing Russell’s tone, Melody immediately guessed that Russell knew what she had just done.
Her expression darkened slightly as she said to Wilmot, “I have to go home. Ill come over tomorrow morning”
Wilmot said, “Alright, if Russell makes things difficult for you, call me. I’ll help you explain”
Melody said. “Don’t worry about me. Calm your staff down first. I don’t think they’re in a good mood. Also, we need to make preparations on day of the competition. It has to be foolproof
Melody gave a few reminders before taking a taxi and leaving for the Fox villa. Soon, she arrived.
the
The door was half open, and Russell’s praise came from inside. “Mabel, you did very well! If it weren’t for you today, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly. You must keep a good relationship with Mr. Swanson. Thave high hopes for you. Don’t disappoint me
Silverlake had two Mr. Swansons in total. Only Ulric could be related to Mabel.
Melody recalled the bodyguards report that Mabel had gone to look for Ulric today. A mocking cold glint flashed across her eyes.
Mabel said shyly, “Don’t worry, Dad, I will. It’s just that about the bracelet, it really wasn’t me…
Russell said. “Alright, I didn’t take that matter to heart. The matter has been resolved. Don’t mention it again in the future. Prepare for the competition in two months. Getting first place is the most important thing. Other than maintaining a good relationship with Ulric and preparing for the competition, you don’t need to care about anything else.”
The mockery in Melody’s eyes intensified.
She thought, Mabel had caused such a huge drama. Does Russell not take it to heart at all? If it were me, I would probably have been beaten half to death by Russell and chased out
As expected, she still could not shake Mabel’s position in Russell’s heart. It would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed. However, she was not in a hurry: She would take things one step at a time. She would slowly destroy Russell’s preference for Mabel.
She was helping Wilmot and herself by making that bet. Once she succeeded, she would become famous in Silverlake and even Hakyon
In the living room. Russell and Mable looked to be in a harmonious atmosphere.
“Dad” Melody walked in at an inappropriate time.
When Russell saw her, his heart skipped a beat,
However, when he thought of what had happened a few times in the past and Ken’s protection of Melody, he tried his best to suppress his anger and asked with a cold expression, “Yolanda told me that you got into trouble, right”
Before Melody could speak, Yolanda spoke first. Hussell, don’t be anxious. The news I saw might not be true. Melody, you didn’t help Silk Beauty Cosmetics and Icy Clear Cosmetics make a bet right?”
Melody did not even look at Yolanda. She met Russell’s gaze and said, “Dad. I didn’t cause any trouble. The chairman of Icy Clear Cosmetics is my friend. If he’s in trouble, I have to help him
“In other words, you really got involved in this mess?” The anger in Russell’s eyes intensified.
Yolanda spoke before Melody could. “Melody, I didn’t expect what the news said to be true. You’re too foolish! If the bet fails, who will compensate Icy Clear Cosmetics for the losses! If something happens, the Fox family will be the unlucky one! How can you be so rash?”
Mabel also fanned the flames. “Melody, we all know that your medical skills are very good, but having medical skills doesn’t mean that you can develop beauty products. Even if you want to prove yourself, you don’t have to use such an extreme method.”
Russell was so angry that the veins on his forehead were throbbing. “You just always have to get this family in trouble, right? What did I tell you? As long as you behave yourself, I won’t make you return to the countryside. But what did you doi
Melody said calmly, “Dad, don’t worry. If the bet fails, I’ll take responsibility alone. I definitely won’t implicate you?
“Do you know what this bet means? Are you trying to anger me to death?” Russell stomped his feet angrily, wishing he could slap Melody again. Melody’s gaze was cold. “If you’re afraid that I’ll implicate the Fox family, I can write an agreement. I’ll bear the consequences of the bet alone.”
Russell looked at Melody’s cold eyes. He did not know what to say, but he could not vent the anger in his heart. This feeling made him even more depressed.
a note. Whether the bet
His eyelids twitched and he said, “Since you insist on bearing the responsibility alone, in order to protect our family, write an succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with us.”
Melody pursed her lips mockingly. “Sure.”
The butler immediately handed her a pen and paper. She wrote the note expressionlessly and handed it to Russell. Only then dad Russell calm down
At this mon
moment, a servant rushed in to report, “Mr. Russell, Mrs. Yolanda, a guest called Cheryl Hanson is here.”
“Miss Hanson!” Mabel asked in surprise, “Dad, Mom, didn’t you go look for her today!
Why is she here!”
Mabel was afraid that there would be a change in the matter of her regaining her qualification to participate in the competition. Her expression immediately became nervous.
Yolanda reminded her in a low voice, “While your father spoke up for you, he also signed up for Melody. She’s here to verify Melody’s qualifications.”
Mabel heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, her lips curved into a mocking smile.
She thought, Melody actually wants to participate in the Best Celebrity competition. She is surely going to embarrass herself!
When Russell heard that Cheryl had arrived, he was secretly vexed. He thought, Why was 1 so muddle–headed back then! I actually helped Melody get a spot.
However, now that she was already here, he could not let her go back directly. He could only
ly instruct the servant, Invite Miss Hanson in and prepare coffee for her.”
The servant said, “Yes, Mr. Russell”
Soon, Cheryl entered under the butler’s lead. Melody subconsciously looked at Cheryl and vaguely felt that this person looked a little familiar. Then, she looked up and remembered who it was. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
In her previous life. Cheryl had once seen her oil painting and wanted to become her disciple. However, she had been busy helping Ulric to get to the top, so she had rejected her.
She did not expect Cheryl to be the judge of this competition. She found it to be a big coincidence.
Russell was all smiles as he stepped forward respectfully. “Miss Hanson, I’m sorry to have troubled you to come all the way here.”
“It’s fine.” Cheryl waved her hand nonchalantly. “We also hope to absorb more fresh blood to participate in the competition. Only then will the competition be interesting”
After saying that, she looked around the living room and asked in confusion. “Is your eldest daughter not at home?”
Cheryl had seen Melody, but she didn’t think that this terrifyingly ugly girl was Russell’s daughter, so she subconsciously ignored her.
Russell also realized this, and his expression could not help but become awkward.
He covered his nose and coughed. He looked at Melody and said, “Melody, why aren’t you coming over to greet Miss Hanson?”
Melody knew that Cheryl was an upright person and had a good impression of her, so she quickly stepped forward and greeted politely. “Hello, Miss Hansog. My name is Melody Fox. You can call me Melody
