Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Melody looked at Jessica expressionlessly. 

“As I said just now, Shane is not at fault, so your son must apologize to Shane. Also, as a parent, not only did you not teach your child correctly, but 

you also insulted and threatened others in front of your child. You have to apologize to me and pay compensation.” 

Jessica’s face turned furious. If it weren’t for Ken’s presence, she would have ordered her bodyguard to kill Melody on the spot. 

She stared stiffly at Ken, hoping he would say something. 

Ken raised his eyebrows and said casually, “Didn’t you hear what she said? Apologize and compensate her mentally.” 

Jessica clenched her fists and said with an unpleasant expression, “I’m sorry!” 

Melody looked at Neil, and Jessica quickly patted Neil’s head, commanding, “Say sorry!” 

Neil was also frightened by Ken’s aura. Although Ken was smiling, he felt Ken was scarier than his mother getting angry. 

Neil immediately said, “I’m sorry! I won’t dare to do it again!” 

Only then did Melody’s expression ease up a little. She took out her phone and showed the QR code. “Just give me 200 thousand dollars for mental compensation.” 

“200 thousand dollars?” From NôvelDrama.Org.

Jessica spoke loudly but didn’t dare ask for so much even when she opened her mouth widely. 

“What’s wrong?” Melody tilted her head. “The dignified chairman of Silk Beauty Cosmetics can’t take out 200 thousand dollars?” 

Jessica was so angry that she was about to explode. However, since Ken was staring at her, she could only brace herself and walk forward to scan the QR code. 

Soon, 200 thousand dollars was transferred to Melody’s account. Melody said calmly, “You can leave now. I hope this won’t happen again.” 

Jessica forced a smile and pulled her son, leaving away 

The two teachers were particularly adept at flattery. They approached and said, “We’re truly sorry for this incident. We didn’t expect something like this to happen. We’ll definitely pay more attention to Shane in the future.” 

“You should pay attention to it. When children fight in kindergarten, teachers should stop them in time, not let the situation develop, and even hide the truth from their parents,” Melody warned with a cold expression. “If such a dereliction of duty happens again, I can guarantee you will lose this job.” 

The kindergarten was small, but it was a prestigious one in Silverlake and well–oiled, so no one would want to leave. 

Hearing this, the two teachers nodded repeatedly and promised. 

Melody did not want to push things too far. She warned them a few more times before letting them leave. 

Soon, only their group remained at the kindergarten gate. 

Melody asked James to bring Shane into the car, then turned to thank Ken sincerely. “Thank you for today. If it weren’t for you, this matter wouldn’t have been resolved so quickly.” 

Ken took out a cigarette and said lazily, “Thank me? What are you going to thank me with?” 

Melody frowned slightly. 

“You’re so rich, yet you still want me to give you the 200 thousand dollars? Isn’t that a little too much?” 

Ken paused and chuckled. “Melody, I’m really curious about what kind of person I am in your heart.” 

‘You are a damn capitalist! 

Of course, Melody did not say it explicitly. She held firm, saying, “30-70, you take 30, I take 70. No more!” 

Ken could not help but raise his hand and knock her on the head. 

“I don’t want your money! I’m hungry. Go to my house and cook me a meal to settle the bill.”

Melody’s eyes widened in surprise. “That’s it?” 

Otherwise? Do you think there’s anything else on you that’s worth asking for?” 

Melody pursed her lips unhappily and nodded in agreement. “No problem!” 

Wouldn’t it be better to be squeezed out of labor than split up the money? 

She paused, then asked, “Can I bring Shane?” 

“Wilmot’s son?” 

Yes!” 

Ken’s face turned cold. “Are you really planning to be someone’s stepmother?” 

“How is that possible? Wilmot is currently on a business trip and can’t come back. Shane definitely can’t go to kindergarten this afternoon. I’m worried about leaving him alone at home,” said Melody, adding, “Wilmot has helped me a lot, and I can’t neglect Shane. Could you please do me this favor?” 

Ken’s gaze was cold. He tugged at his tie and said expressionlessly, “Just this once.” 

“Thank you!” 

Melody quickly thanked him. However, when she saw Ken lighting a cigarette and was about to smoke, she subconsciously reached out and snatched the cigarette between his fingers. She frowned and said, “Why are you still smoking when you have a cold? Aren’t you afraid that it will become pneumonia?” 

Ken slightly smirked as looked at her with a meaningful gaze. 

Melody was about to find out the meaning of that deep gaze when Ken suddenly chuckled and said, “Marriage is indeed different. No wonder people say that marriage is the grave of smoke.” 

“What grave of smoke? Marriage is the place of love.” 

After Melody finished speaking, she saw Ken looking at her with a faint smile. 

For a moment, her back stiffened. She coughed awkwardly and said, “This is advice from the doctor. Take it or leave it. I’ll get in the car first.” 

With that, she hurriedly got into the car. 

Ken looked at Melody’s hurried back and the smile in his eyes deepened. Then, he also stepped into the car. 

Neither of them noticed that there was a silver–gray Mercedes–Benz parked not far away. A woman was staring at them until the car drove away from the kindergarten, only then did she fiercely look away. 

“Bitch!” 

In the car, Janet’s nails dug into the steering wheel, and with a “click‘ one of her nails broke into two pieces. 

She gasped in pain and slammed the steering wheel. 

The car let out a long horn, attracting the attention of passers–by. 

Meanwhile, Melody was carefully checking the condition of Shane in the car. 

After confirming he was not injured and had only lost a button, she finally felt relieved. 

Shane had already calmed down. He stared at Ken with his big eyes. 

Ken frowned unhappily. “What are you looking at?” 

Shane was shocked and immediately shrank into Melody’s arms. 

Melody quickly patted Shane’s back comfortingly and scolded Ken, “Why are you scaring a child?” 

Ken sneered. “I’m not scaring him. He’s just timid.” 

Melody rolled her eyes at Ken and turned to comfort Shane. “Shane, don’t be afraid. He’s not a bad person.” 

“You…”

Shane nodded and asked hesitantly, “Melody, is he your boyfriend?” 

“He’s not…” 

I’m not her boyfriend,” Ken said with a faint smile. “I’m her husband,” 

Melody’s back stiffened as she looked at Ken. “What nonsense are you spouting in front of a child?” 

“Am I spouting nonsense?” Ken looked sideways at her. 

Melody looked away uncomfortably. She heard Shane say unhappily, “No! Melody can’t marry you!” 

Ken said in amusement, “Why can’t she marry me?” 

“She’s my dad’s!” Shane hugged Melody tightly, wanting to use this opportunity to declare his ownership. 

Ken said coldly, “Then please tell your dad that she has already married me.”
