Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Ken lowered his eyes and sneered. He looked at the two of the I’m dealing with my own employees?” 

“Of course not…” Troy was shocked and quickly waved his hand. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

with a smile that did not reach his eyes. “Do I need you to decide what’s right when 

He did not know how Bobby had provoked Ken, but he and Bobby were just ordinary friends. Seeing that Bobby had fallen, he would not offend Ken because of Bobby. 

However, regarding his daughter’s broken hand, he believed that Ken would give him face. 

Thinking of this, Troy said, “How can we judge your decision? Bobby’s character is bad. You did the right thing! However… I hope Mr. Swanson can give us justice for my daughter.” 

Ken raised his eyebrows. “What a coincidence. I’m here for this as well.” 

Troy was relieved. Just as he was about to speak, Pamela, who was beside him, spoke first. She pointed at Melody with an uninjured finger and started to complain, “Mr. Swanson, this woman came here tonight by tricking Zack. I didn’t do anything, but she broke my hand! You have to stand up for me!” 

Pamela’s eyes were filled with tears. She looked extremely pitiful. Although she was not as beautiful as Mabel, she was the cute type that most men would like. 

However, after Pamela tried her best to make herself look even more pitiful, Ken did not even look at her. He walked straight to Melody and wrapped one arm around Melody’s waist. “Miss Clark, you’ve misunderstood. I’m here to look for my female companion. I heard that she was bullied, so I specifically came to take a look.” 

As soon as he finished speaking, Pamela’s eyes widened. Her pupils shrank to a point in shock. 

She was almost petrified when she saw Ken asking Melody in a low voice, “Are you injured?” 

“No.” Melody shook her head naturally. The two of them looked extremely close. 

Pamela thought, ‘Are there something wrong with my eyes? Otherwise, why did Ken speak up for Melody, this ugly girl from the countryside, and even hug her waist?‘ 

“Mr. Swanson…” Pamela rubbed her eyes and confirmed in disbelief, “You said she’s your female companion?” 

“Is there a problem?” Ken did not deny it. 

Zara, Pamela, Troy, and the others were stunned at the same time. The atmosphere seemed to freeze instantly. 

Pamela was unwilling to believe it and said anxiously, “But isn’t she Zack’s girlfriend?” 

“Zack’s girlfriend?” Ken narrowed his eyes and looked sideways at Melody. “What happened?” 

Melody shrugged and said helplessly, “It’s all a misunderstanding.” 

Ken looked at her deeply and turned to look at Troy. “Did you hear that? It’s all a misunderstanding. She’s not anyone’s girlfriend. She’s my female companion.” 

At this moment, Pamela was completely speechless. She came late and had no idea that Melody was Ken’s female companion. 

Troy was the first to come back to his senses and tried his best to digest this information. 

He gritted his teeth and forced a smile. “So this young lady is your female companion. Since we’re all on the same side, let’s not bicker about this small fight between girls. Forget it.” 

“Forget it?” Pamela disagreed in her heart. She said, “Dad, she hit me. How can I let it go just like that?” 

“This…” Troy was in a difficult position. 

Of course, he was unwilling to let it go just like that, but the other party was Ken, A cruel and scheming demon. 

Pamela said angrily, “Mr. Swanson! Regardless of whether she’s your female companion or not, it’s a fact that she hit me! You have to deal with this matter fairly!” 

Ken said casually, “Is there a possibility that you were beaten up because you deserve it?”

“You…” Pamela choked. She gritted her teeth and said, “She was the one who caused trouble first. I didn’t do anything! Mr. Swanson, did she seduce you? Why are you biased towards her? She really broke my hand. If you don’t believe me, you can call the police and bring me to the hospital for a checkup.” 

She really did not understand why the men she admired would rather be close to this ugly woman than to her. 

Troy was also angry. Ignoring the fact that the other party was Ken, he said, “Mr. Swanson, since she’s your female companion, we can let her off the hook. However, we don’t want to see you being deceived by a woman! It’s true that she’s your female companion now, but just now, I saw her being very close to Zack. Is such a woman who’s good at pretending really worthy of being your female companion? You have to think carefully.” 

Troy did not care about anything else and slandered her. He wanted Ken to deal with her and force her into a dead end. 

If Ken did not know about Melody’s relationship with Zack, he might really misunderstand. 

Melody said impatiently and coldly, “Mr. Clark, you have to show evidence. I did attack to protect myself, but it was your daughter who attacked first. Besides, are you really sure that your daughter’s hand is broken?” 

“This…” Troy looked at Melody’s expression and could not help but hesitate. 

He thought, ‘Although this woman is ugly, she is powerless. With her strength, can she really easily break a person’s hand? Could it be that Pam has been acting? After all, this has happened before. 

If that was the case, things would be difficult. They had said several times that Pamela’s hand had been broken by Melody. 

Troy could not help but confirm with Pamela, “Pam, is your hand really broken? Tell me the truth, I won’t blame you.” 

Pamela was about to go crazy. “Dad, why do you believe this woman now? Why would I lie to you? I don’t even dare to move my hand now. I can faint from the pain if I move. Would I lie to you in that case?” 

Troy admitted that he understood Pamela. He could feel that she was not lying. 

If this wasn’t the Swanson Group’s territory, the truth didn’t matter at all. He could just help his daughter vent her anger. 

However, this was the Swanson Group’s territory. Ken was right in front of him, so he could not attack directly. He had to be in the right first so that he could deal with Melody ruthlessly. 

Once he was in the right, he would definitely make her pay a heavy price. 

Troy turned to look at Ken and said, “Mr. Swanson, you heard it. If it was just a small fight, we would let it go for your sake. But breaking a hand is not a small matter. If you don’t give us an explanation today, we can only call the police to deal with it.” 

Before Ken could speak, Melody spoke first. “Then call the police! Once the injury report is out, you’ll know if her hand is broken or not. Mr. Swanson, what do you think?” 

Ken glanced at her. Seeing that there was no fear in her eyes and only a bright light, he roughly guessed what was going on and nodded in agreement. “For the sake of fairness, let’s call the police. However, if Miss Clark’s hand is not broken, you will be sued for slandering. When the time comes, you have to pay a price.” 

“No problem!” Pamela agreed without thinking. Then, she glared at Melody and said, “I can’t be bothered to argue with you. The truth will be revealed when we go to the hospital for a checkup. At that time, I wonder what you will say! Once I confirm that my hand is really broken, I will definitely pursue this matter.” 

Not only did she have to pursue this matter, but she also had to make Melody pay for the pain of her right hand. She wanted to let Melody know the consequences of being a busybody.
