Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker
Chapter 137

Chapter 137

The old man agreed to Melody’s request without thinking. “Dont worry, I won’t tell him. That kid is always worried that I will be deceived. If I tell him about you, he might think that you’re a liar. So in order to make him nag at me less, I’ll definitely promise not to tell him!”

Melody could not help but laugh. “You….”

The old man was exactly the same as in her previous life. He was simply an old urchin.

The old man said, “By the way, young doctor, I still don’t know your name?”

Melody said. Just call me Melody

The old man said, “Okay, Melody, just call me Ford.”

Melody said, “Alright, Ford. I’ll prepare the medicine for you according to the prescription. From tomorrow onwards, I’ll prepare the medicine and send it over.”

Ford said, “Alright, alright. Thank you. The Hervathrive is really good. When my waist recovers, I’ll definitely work hard to advertise for you!”

The two of them chatted for a while before Melody brought James out.

After Ford closed the door, James asked anxiously, “Miss Fox, who is this old man?

Melody glanced at James and asked, “His name is Ford Nelson. Who do you think he is!”

James stopped in his tracks and asked in surprise, “He’s Zack’s grandfather?”

“Yes” Melody did not keep him in suspense anymore. She nodded and said, “That’s right. I found out that he had a back injury. As you know, I have some medical skills, so I took this opportunity to make Zack owe me a favor first. When we talk about poaching him in the future, there will be room for negotiation. At least, for Ford’s sake, Zach has to treat me to a meal

James looked at Melody and was secretly shocked.

Melody seemed to be smarter than he had thought.

“Oh, right.” Melody looked at James and said. “Why did you suddenly come to look for me? Is there anything you need my help with from Ken?”

“No…” James coughed dryly. He did not say that he had been punished and only said, “Mr. Ken said that you’ve been in a lot of trouble recently. In addition, the company doesn’t need me for the time being, so he asked me to come and help you.

Melody nodded. “I do have a lot of things to do recently, and there might be more trouble. It’s good for you to help me.”

James nodded.

At this moment, Melody’s phone received a call. It was from the bodyguard hiding in the dark.

She raised her eyebrows in surprise. After picking up the call, she lowered her voice and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The bodyguard said, “Miss Fox, we realized that someone has been following you.”

Melody asked, “Who is it? When did it start?”

The bodyguard said, “We checked. It’s the butler of your house. He started when we left your house. At first, we thought that

1/3

we were just going the same way, but we saw him sneakily following us to South Alley just now, so we’re sure that he’s here to follow you.”

A cold glint flashed across Melody’s eyes.

She thought. Yolanda sent the butler to follow me? I thought that Yolanda would not make a move until something happened to Maria. It seems that she is always looking for an opportunity.

She pursed her lips coldly and said, “I understand.”

The bodyguard asked on the other end of the line. “Do you need us to arrest him?”

Melody thought for two seconds and said, “There’s no need. Let him follow.”

The bodyguard immediately replied. “Yes!”

Melody hung up and told James the news sofily.

James asked in surprise. “Then why don’t we just capture him?”

Melody smiled and said. “She wants something on me. Just give it to her. Why are you so petty? Let’s take a taxi and leave.”

James’s mind was filled with questions.

He felt that Miss Fox, like Mr. Ken, liked to do things that he did not understand,

However, James could not be bothered to really pour his heart and soul into Melody’s matter, so he let her be

However, after taking a taxi, he heard Melody say to the driver, Sir, let’s go to the most famous gambling place in Silverlake,

the International Casino.”

James was drinking mineral water. When he heard this, he almost spat out the water. “Miss Fox, you…”

Before James could finish, Melody interrupted him and asked. “Have you been there?”

James lowered his voice and said in a voice that only they could hear. “Rather than saying that I’ve been there… Actually, Mr.

Ken owns some of the shares of that place.”

Melody nodded. “That’s good Driver, if you don’t know the way, he’ll point you out.”

“I know, I know,” the driver said. As he drove, he couldn’t help but persuade her. “Young lady, I think you’re young. It’s better to not go to this kind of place.”

“Thank you for your concern. Melody smiled and thanked him, but she did not change her mind.

Seeing this, the driver could only step on the accelerator and drive towards the International Casino.

On the way. Melody asked James. “Are you in charge of the black market?”

James was unlucky. He happened to be drinking water, so when be heard the voice, he choked on the water again.

James coughed for a long time before recovering. He asked in shock, “How, how did you know… that’s our territory? There are less than three people in the world who know about this. Even Miss Murphy doesn’t know…”

Melody did not waste any time and took out the black market access card that Ken had given her.

James looked at the card and was even more shocked, “Mr. Ken actually gave you a red card?”

When Melody heard the words “red card“, her expression was a little blank.

2/3

However, she could tell from James’s eyes that the red card was not ordinary.

Melody could not help but ask curiously, “What does the red card represent?”

James said with a complicated expression. “It represents power.

Melody asks, “Power? What do you mean?”

James said. “It means that merchants who have signed a contract with the black market, regardless of whether they are stall owners or mercenaries, have to listen to you with this card on you. It’s a high–level card from the black market. Other than Mr. Ken and me, only Mr. Ken’s two friends in Insterimond have it

Ken could trust these two friends with his life. It was normal for them to have a red card. Even Janet didn’t have a red car, however, Ken had given one to Melody. James could not understand and felt that it was unfair to Miss Murphy.

Melody could not help but be surprised when she heard James’s words.

She thought. It turns out that this card is so rare. Ken is too generous. Alright, since Ken is so generous, I will work harder to help him poach Zack‘

Melody wanted to ask more about the red card, but she could see the displeasure in James’s eyes. She guessed that he might not be satisfied with the red card Ken gave her, so she tactfully put it away.

On the way, Melody did not say anything else. Instead, she secretly thought about the use of this red card.

Since the red card was equivalent to having absolute power in the black market, it would be easy for her to deal with the matter of Yolanda buying mercury sulfide.

About half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of the International Casino

In her previous life, she had accompanied Ulric here. At that time, Ulric had kept losing money. He even lost when he had cards that were definitely going to win.

At that time, she thought that they were unlucky, but now, Melody understood everything

This was Ken’s territory. No matter how good Ulric’s cards were, he could not win.

After all, no matter what kind of Casino it was, there were more or less some high–tech tricks. If the owner didn’t want you to win, you could only lose.
