Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Chapter 118

“Mr. Ken. I just received news that Wendell went to meet the chairman of Taynorma Capital. Do I need to stop him?” James

asked

“No need Ken’s tone was calm as if he had expected this

James was stummed on the other end of the phone. Two seconds later, his voice came. “Aren’t we going to do anything? Isn’t that letting him off too lightly?”

Ken raised his eyebrows slightly. “Don’t worry, he won’t be able to do anything.”

The first thing he did when he entered the headquarters was to chase Wendell, Astrid’s right–hand man, out of the headquarters.

Without Wendell monitoring him in the headquarters, it would be much easier for Ken to do things. Naturally, he would not let Wendell off so easily.

From Ken’s tone, James knew Ken must have had a plan.

After realizing this, James was no longer anxious. He responded and asked, “Where are you now? Are you still going back to the headquarters”

Tm on my way.” Ken replied.

Okay, I’ll wait for you at headquarters. After saying that, James did not waste his breath and quickly ended the call.

David eagerly greeted Melody with the herbs as soon as she entered Herbathrive. “Miss Fox, you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you.”

Melody nodded slightly. After taking the herbs, she asked. “Is your boss here now?”

“Yes.” David paused and asked, “Didn’t you say you won’t look for our boss for a while?”

Melody smiled. “I suddenly made a fortune. Where is he? Can you help me call him?”

“Of course! I’ll bring you there now. With that, David hurriedly led the way eagerly

Melody followed closely behind.

She knew Herbathrive well and did not need David to lead the way. However, she still pretended to be curious and looked around it to not arouse David’s suspicion.

David brought her to the backyard.

The backyard was different from the lobby in front. It was a courtyard house.

This was a place with a classic lifestyle. There were beautiful flowers and plants everywhere. The environment was quiet, and there were no modern appliances

As a result, although this place was in an international and modern metropolis like Silverlake, they could see butterflies and

bees there

“Please wait a moment. I’ll go get Mr. Herbert,” said David.

Melody nodded and closed her eyes to feel the familiar atmosphere.

David knocked on the door of one of the rooms in the courtyard house. A familiar voice came from inside, “What is it?”

“Mr. Herbert, a customer wants to buy medicinal herbs from you.” David reported respectfully.

Melody opened her eyes and saw a charmingly naive middle–aged man standing before David.

The man’s name was Colin Herbert. He used to be a traditional medicine practitioner. He then opened his traditional medicine shop and gradually developed it into the Herbathrive.

Colin’s medical skills were not bad either. In Melody’s previous life. Colin had helped her many times and taught her many things. He could be considered half a teacher to her and was also her good friend.

Later on, because of the death of his wife, Beverly Herbert, Colin became more and more haggard. His health deteriorated day by day. When he was about to collapse, he handed over Herbathrive to Melody to manage.

However, at this moment, the man who was on the verge of death was still full of energy.

Melody opened her mouth, and her eyes could not help but tear up. She almost blurted out the words “Mr. Herbert“.

Beverly was an extremely gentle person who loved life very much. In this life, Melody wanted to change the ending of Colin and Beverly

Melody clenched her fists and quickly came back to her senses.

When she returned to her senses, she realized Colin was also sizing her up.

The moment their eyes met, Melody hid the hot tears in her eyes and pretended to be distant and polite as she greeted, “Sir.”

However. Colin did not miss the moment when tears filled Melody’s eyes.

He could not help but feel strange. Why did this little girl look at me as if she was looking at a family member who had been separated for a long time? I don’t remember having such a distant relative. Did I see it wrongly?

Colin rubbed his eyes and saw Melody’s smile was polite and distant. Her expression from before was no longer there.

“Sure enough, I was mistaken… With that in mind, Colin nodded slightly and walked forward to ask. “Miss, what medicinal herbs do you want to buy?”

Melody spat out a word, “Deathtenaire.”

The world described Deathtenaire as “When a flower blooms, all the flowers die.”

The description came from the fact that Deathtenaire’s pollen was highly toxic and could travel great distances.

Plants that came into contact with the pollen of Deathtenaire would quickly wither and die.

Because of this, Deathtenaire became a forbidden plant, which was only available in some countries and was very expensive.

However, many people had long known about the toxicity of Deathtenaire’s pollen but did not know that the roots of Deathtenaire were valuable medicinal herbs. It could almost cure hundreds of poisons and was a good antidote.

If Melody wanted to detoxify herself, she had to have Deathtenaire

After Melody said ‘Deathtenaire, Colin was stunned.

This was because Deathtenaire was a plant that was strictly prohibited in Halcyon. Very few people knew about it.

He could not help but size Melody up seriously. Seeing she was so young, he could not help but be even more puzzled.

Chapter 118

He tried to ask. “Miss.

“My name is Melody Fox. You can call me Melody,” Melody introduced herself

Colm nodded and asked. “Miss Foo, where did you learn about Deathtenaire? This is not something you little girls should know.”

The pollen from Deathtenaire was highly toxic. Some people would use it to potson others. Therefore, Colin could not help but frown in fear.

Melody knew Colin very well. He was very upright, so she quickly explained. Sir, I study medicine. So I know about Deathtenaire. The reason why I want to buy this is to treat the poison in my face

“The poison on your face?” Colin narrowed his eyes and observed Melody.

He had thought Melody had a lot of acne because she was young. After taking a closer look, he realized that something was

Wrong

Those acne and red spots were very unusual. They grew densely on her face like an ant’s nest. The severity of this was not something ordinary acne could compare to

Colin could not help but become serious. “Who poisoned you”

For girls of this age, looks were what they cared about the most. Poisoning a young and beautiful girl’s face was too vicious!

“It’s my teacher. Melody hesitated for two seconds and decided not to hide it from Colin. She said honestly. “My family situation is rather special, so it’s inconvenient for me to tell you the details. However, to protect me, my teacher poisoned

me when I was very young. But now, I want to detoxify myself and restore my original appearance.”

“Every family has their difficulties. Lunderstand. You don’t have to explain too much. But who is your teacher?” Colin asked

He had just scrutinized it again.

Traditional medicine practitioners could tell at a glance how the patient’s condition was. His medical skills were not bad. With a closer look, he could tell that this poison was not something ordinary people could make

Until now, he had never seen such a poison that could ruin someone’s appearance to such an extent

“My teacher is called “
