Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Ken chuckled softly and said, ‘It seems like you hid under my bel and saw the whole process. I didn’t expect you to have such a hobby. If I had known earlier, I would have bought a high bed to make it easier for you to crawl in.” 

“You…” The director’s cheeks instantly turned red. He said furiously, “Ken, I’m considered your elder. How can you talk to me like that? Besides, everyone in Silverlake knows what you’ve done. What’s wrong with us talking about it?” 

“Oh? Does everyone in Silverlake know? Then why don’t I, the person involved, know that I crippled Ulric’s legs? How do you know better than me, the person involved? Don’t tell iné you’re the one who crippled Ulric’s legs. Mr. Hunter.” Ken still looked calm and casual. 

Although Wendell Hunter said he was related to the Swanson family, he was actually from Astrid’s side. Naturally, he spoke up for Astrid and Ulric. 

Wendell’s expression instantly darkened. “What nonsense are you talking about? How could I do such a thing!” 

Ken shrugged nonchalantly and said, “Whether you did this or not, I didn’t see it lying under your bed, so I can’t say. However, regarding the acquisition of Taynorma Capital. Mr. Hunter, you did spend a lot of effort, right?” 

Ken’s sudden mention of Taynorma Capital made Wendell’s eyes widen in horror. 

He was in charge of the acquisition project of Taynorma Capital, but when he investigated this company, he realized most of the data submitted by Taynorma Capital was fake. It was not worth the Swanson Group spending a lot of money to buy it. 

In terms of price, he could have used the fake data to suppress Thynorma Capital, but he did not. Instead, he went to find the chairman of Taynorma Capital at that time with it. 

The Taynorma Capital’s chairman immediately gave Wendell a lot of benefits to keep his mouth shut, so he naturally filled his wallet. And now, the acquisition was nearing its end and was about to be completed. 

However, no one else knew about this other than him and the chairman of Taynorma Capital. 

‘How did Ken know? Why did he suddenly mention this? Wendell wondered. 

In his panic, Wendell subconsciously denied it. I didn’t confiscate any benefits from Taynorma Capital! Don’t slander me!” Ken chuckled. “I didn’t say you took benefits from them, Mr. Hunter. Why are you reacting so agitatedly?” 

Wendell held his breath. 

Indeed, Ken did not say that he had received any benefits. Wouldn’t what I said just now expose myself? At the thought of this, Wendell’s entire face turned red. He opened his mouth for a long time but couldn’t make a sound, afraid Ken would find any loopholes. 

However, Wendell’s sudden silence made the other directors feel something was amiss. 

According to Wendell’s usual personality, he would argue with anyone who slandered him 

But now, Wendell did not say a word. It was abnormal 

Could it be true that Mr. Hunter received benefits from Taynorma Capital? But wasn’t it Ken’s first day at the headquarters? How did he know about these things that we don’t know? With the questions in mind, everyone could not help but start to fear Ken. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Before the other directors could ask, Ken said, “It’s my first day working at the headquarters today, and this is our first meeting, so let’s not beat around the bush. Now, let’s start our routine meeting… 

The people present had more or less done something dirty. They were afraid that Ken would know their secret, so they naturally did not dare to argue with Ken. 

A meeting that should have been filled with bloodshed ended smoothly under Ken’s lead. 

In the end, Ken suddenly said, “I want to finish the acquisition of Taynorma Capital myself. This is also the first project I’ll do at the headquarters. I hope you guys will cooperate.” 

When Wendell heard this, his expression immediately turned dark. 

However, he was afraid Ken already had enough evidence, so he could only smile apologetically. “Ken, I’ve been monitoring this project, and it’s about to be completed, Is it good to let you do it now?” 

Without waiting for Ken to speak, Wendell quickly added, “Of course, I’m not saying you’re incapable. We all know your ability. The branch company in Insterimond developed well under your leadership. However, the handover alone will take a few days if we change people to do this acquisition now. And time is important for the acquisition project, so I’ll do it. What do you think?” 

Ken smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Hunter, you’re so dedicated to the company…” 

“You’re flattering me. Only if the company is good can we be good!” Wendell thought that he had fooled Ken, so he finally smiled again. 

However, Ken said again in the next moment. “However, you don’t have to worry about the time. I came early today and have already gone through the entire project. There’s no need to arrange another time for the handover.” 

Wendell’s face stiffened. “You…” 

“Why?” Ken’s dark eyes met Wendell’s coldly. “Don’t tell me that you had indeed accepted benefits and are afraid that Taynorma Capital won’t be able to withstand my investigation?” 

“How… How is this possible?” Wendell denied hurriedly. 

“That’s good. Since you have no objections, this matter is settled. Ken decided. He picked up the meeting notebook and left not giving Wendell a chance to speak again. 

Wendell knew that there was nothing he could do. He immediately stood up shakily and walked out dejectedly. 

The other people in the meeting room couldn’t care less about Wendell. They started whispering and discussing Ken 

“Do you think there’s a chance that Mr. Ken didn’t cripple Mr. Ulric’s legs?” 

“But that’s what the rumors say. Moreover, Mr. Ulric is indeed still in a wheelchair… 

“But I think what Ken said just now… Could there be another reason for Ulric’s matter? Otherwise, according to the chairman’s wife’s personality, how could she let it go and not send Ken to prison?” 

“Perhaps it’s indeed a rumor… In our circle, what kind of dirty things won’t happen?” 

“In any case, whether it’s true or not, we shouldn’t provoke him. If it’s true, he’s an outlaw. We cherish our lives and can’t afford to offend him. If it’s not true, he might inherit the Swanson Group. We can’t afford to offend him either. It’s better to 

avoid him.” 

“That’s right! Look at Mr. Hunter… Mr. Ken must have gotten something against him. Did you guys notice his expression just now? It was as if the end of the world had arrived.”
