Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker
Chapter 131

Chapter 131

When Ulric heard Mabel’s nasal voice, he felt even more impatient than before.

He hated women who cried constantly.

“No, I just… Ulric was about to replace an excuse to hang up when he suddenly looked up. He thought, ‘Mabel Fox, Melody. Fox

Ulric rolled his eyes and returned to his usual gentle tone. I’m not in a bad mood. It’s just that after lunch today, I had dessert with Melody and I feel a little sick of it now. So… I’m sorry. I appreciate your kindness?

“I see… Melodyactually came over. I didn’t even know…” Mabel tried her best to maintain her voice and said calmly. “Then go ahead. I won’t disturb you anymore.”

“Okay, goodbye. Ulric hung up and sneered.

Melody made him very unhappy today. In that case, he wanted to make use of Mabel to disgust her.

He thought, ‘Mabel has a beautiful appearance but nothing in her mind. She is the best person to use.

On the other end of the phone, Mabel was so angry that she almost dropped the half–cooked cheese in her hand.

Bitch! Bitch! Her fingers gripped the table tightly, digging a long mark on it

With a loud snap, her nails broke.

Mabel gasped in pain, and the anger in her heart intensified.

She thought, “Melody, Melody! That bitch is everywhere! It was not enough for her to get close to Ken. It was not enough to let Ken speak up for her at the birthday banquet. Now, she wanted to curry favor with Ulric. Does she want to have both of them with her look? Why didn’t she take a look at herself in the mirror first

Mabel was so angry that she was about to go crazy. At this moment, the socialite from the same training class opened the door of the bakery classroom.

Mabel was shocked and quickly regained her composure: She turned around and asked with a smile, “Pam? Isn’t class over? Why are you back?”

The socialite named Ramela Clark sighed and said, “My mother asked me to come back and practice more. Seriously, no matter how hard I work, it’s impossible for me to become the top socialite in Silverlake, okay? In my opinion, as long as you sign up this year, the top socialite will definitely be your.”

Mabel enjoyed her words, but she still pretended to be humble on the surface. “How can you be so sure? As long as you work hard enough, you will have a chance. Everyone will have a chance.

“Forget it, I’m already over it. I’d better stay here and scroll through my phone.” As Pamela spoke, she asked suspiciously. “By the way, why are you still here after so long? Didn’t the teacher say that your half–cooked cheese is the most perfect during the baking class?”

Mabel lowered her eyes and said sadly, “I wanted to give my half–cooked cheese to the person I like, but just now… he rejected me on the phone:

“What?” Pamela raised her voice and asked. “Who’s so blind as to reject our top socialite in Silverlake?”

Mabel shook her head, “He’s a perfect person. It’s normal for him to reject me. However, I’m sad that he rejected me because

of my sister…”

Pamela said. “Your sister? The ugly one?”

Mabel pretended to be unhappy. Tam, please don’t talk about my sister like that. She’s actually quite a nice person.”

Pamela sneered and said, “She’s a good person? If she was a good person, would she snatch her younger sister’s man?”

Mabel shook her head and looked like she was unwilling to say anything else. She only said, “If my sister likes him too, then, then I’m willing to give up.”

Pamela felt even more indignant for Mabel “If you give up, you’re a fool! She’s infertil

you in every way. She’s the one who should give up! Mabel, you have to believe in yourself. Among all the socialites in Silverlake, you’re the most beautiful and charming!”

Mabel sighed and said, “Thank you for praising me. I’m not in the mood to talk about this anymore. Please help me keep it a secret. I’ll go back first.”

Pamela nodded and watched Mabel leave.

However, after Mabel left, she quickly scolded Melody in the group chat on her phone.

The socialite circle in Silverlake was not big. Soon, Melody became famous in the circle.

Someone commented in a group chat: [How dare that ugly girl from the countryside snatch Mabel’s man? Is she crazy?]

Another girl wrote: [That’s why country bumpkins are country bumpkins. They have no self–awareness at all.]

Another person texted: [She probably doesn’t even know how to write the words ‘self–awareness‘!]

All the socialites were ridiculing Melody. Mabel naturally saw it too, but she pretended not to see anything and let the matter ferment crazily.

At this moment, Mabel received a message from Ulric. [Mabel, are you free tomorrow afternoon? If you’re free, can you help me go to the Herbathrive to get the medicine? My mother went to replace a doctor to treat my leg. I’m worried about letting others get it, so I can only ask you.]

Mabel’s eyes lit up when she saw the message. The gloominess from before was swept away.

She replied: [I’m free! I don’t have class tomorrow!]

At this moment, all the reservedness of a socialite was thrown out of Mabel’s mind.

On the other end of the phone, Ulric smiled in satisfaction.

He thought, ‘She is indeed an easy woman to control. She is overjoyed just by giving her a little hope. If only Melody is so easy to control.

In the next moment, Ulric’s expression turned ugly again.

He thought, Why do I keep thinking about that ugly woman!”

Ulric closed the message page and called Wendell Hunter.

The call was quickly picked up and Wendell’s fawning voice could be heard. “My good nephew, why did you call me?”

Ulric pursed his lips impatiently and said, “My mother said that you have a way to replace a traditional doctor who knows Nine- Line Acupuncture?”

“Right” Upon hearing this, Wendell couldn’t help but say proudly, I know a forum that has experts from all walks of life. I put a bounty on it. If anyone knows the Nine–Line Acupuncture, they will accept that bounty. Let’s just wait patiently.”

Ulric asked, “Forum?”

Wendell said, “It’s the black market in Silverlake. Nephew, you should know it, right?”

Yes. Ulric replied.

He had long known about the existence of the black market. “I remember the place was very small a few years ago. It seems to have gotten bigger now?”

Wendell said, “That’s right! I wonder who the boss behind the black market is. If we can replace out his identity, we can rope him in. He will definitely become a very powerful helper for us!

Ulric raised his eyebrows. “Don’t tell me you have a clear mind too? Think of a way to dig out the identity of the boss of the black market. No matter what conditions he offers, as long as he willing to serve us, I can agree.”

“Understood!” After the call ended, Wendell immediately logged into the forum to check if anyone had accepted his bounty.

No one accepted the bounty, but there were many posts below.

Someone commented: [Nine–Line Acupuncture? What the hell is that?]

Another person replied: [The Nine–Line Acupuncture is an acupuncture technique. Legend has it that it can cure all poisons and illnesses. However, this is only a rumor. In any case, I’ve never heard of anyone who knows this.]

Just as Wendell was disappointed, he scrolled down and suddenly saw a post below.

Someone commented: [Ive heard of this, and I know that there are indeed people in the world who know this.]
