Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker
Chapter 209

Chapter 209

The moment Melody walked forward. Cheryl, who had been expressionless since she entered, suddenly widened her eyes in disbelief.

She thought, “This girl who looks scary is actually Russell’s eldest daughter!

Cheryl could not accept this news at all. The corners of her mouth twitched twice as she turned to ask Russell. “Mr. Fox, are you sure you’re not joking with me?

Russell felt even more awkward. He regretted helping Melody get this qualification

Moreover, he did not expect Cheryl to come personally. If he had known this would happen, he would

not have asked

For a moment, Russell even wanted to deny the fact that Melody was his daughter.

Mabel could not help but laugh when she saw Russell’s flushed fare.

Yolanda frowned and gave Mabel a warning glance. Only then did Mabel shut up and try her best to maintain her r composure.

Yolanda retracted her gaze and walked to Melody’s side with a smile. “Miss Hanson, why would we joke with you? This is indeed our eldest daughter. It’s our family’s honor that you can personally come and determine her qualifications for the competition.

Mabel could not help but step forward and say coquettishly. “Miss Hanson, you’re too biased. Last year, when I first signed up to participate in the competition, you didn’t even come personally. It seems that you think my sister is more important”

Cheryl’s lips twitched again. She looked at Mabel and then at Melody. She shook her head inwardly.

She thought, Of these two girls, one is graceful and lovable, while the other… To put it bluntly, she can almost be described as “unsightly”

She felt a little regretful and thought, ‘Why did I come personally just because I thought that Wilona’s daughter was definitely a good candidate! With her looks, let alone winning the Best Celebrity, she is probably not even worthy of the word “socialite“. When Wilona was still alive, she was known as Halcyon’s number one beauty, Why did her daughter end up like this…

Even though Melody passed the assessment and obtained the qualifications to participate in the competition, it was definitely impossible for her to win the competition.

However, Cheryl knew that she had to go through this whole thing. Recently, she had established an oil painting class and urgently needed money. Since she was already there, it would not look good if she left directly. Hence, she ignored Melody’s appearance and said patiently. “It’s already dark. I won’t waste any more of your time. Let’s start directly”

“Alright, Miss Hanson, Melody nodded and asked, “May I know how to take the assessment?”

Cheryl spread out the two oil paintings in her hand and said. “Family background is also very important in the socialite competition. You’ve already passed this part, so you’ll directly undergo the appraisal assessment of the painting. One of these two paintings is the real one, and the other is a fake. You just have to distinguish which one is the real one and you’ll pass the assessment.”

“Alright” Melody nodded and began to examine the two paintings. Mabel also subconsciously began to look for the real one.

Back then, when she was taking the assessment, she was asked to do the same thing. However, because Yolanda had bribed the examiner in advance. she already knew the answer. The two paintings Cheryl was holding now were different from the last time. She recalled carefully and immediately remembered whose paintings they were. However, she could not tell which one was real

Mabel looked at Cheryl and thought for a moment. Then, she said in surprise. “Isn’t this Master Derick Long’s pointing! I didn’t expect to see t real one today! I am so lucky!”

the

After Mabel finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Melody and asked with a smile, “Melody, do you know Master Derick He’s known as the best person in this field in Halcyon. It’s said that he was a disciple of Quentin Parker! He doesn’t have many paintings, and very few people can see the real one. We’re really lucky!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Melody’s expression changed slightly. She stared at the two paintings without moving, as if she were in a daze.

Mabel smirked mockingly.

She thought, “Whether it is Derick or Quentin, Melody has definitely never even heard of their names. She definitely can’t pass the participation qualification test, how dare she dream of joining the competition? What a joke!”

Mabel secretly glanced at Russell’s expression. Russell was also sizing up Melody’s expression, he looked away in disappointment. The comers of Mabel’s mouth could not help but curl up even more.

She knew that Russell must be regretting it now.

Chapter 209

However, Mabel did not notice that Cheryl glanced at her with a complicated gaze.

Yolanda took the opportunity to say, “Miss Hanson, isn’t this question a little too difficul? We might have forgotten to tell you that Melody’s health isn’t good. She was raised by us in the countryside since she was young and she only came back recently. Look, can you give her an easier question?”

Hearing Yolanda’s words, Cheryl immediately frowned. This is already the easiest question. I’m sorry. I can’t do it”

As she spoke, she completely lost her patience. She stood up and said. “Mr. Fox, Mrs. Fox. Looks like Melody is not fated to compete in this competition. I’ll come over after she has learned the basics.”

“Well…” Yolanda pretended to look at Russell anxiously

Russell only felt embarrassed and turned his face away coldly

Requesting the qualifications for Melody was the most regretful thing he had done recently.

sister a

Mabel was secretly delighted, but on the surface, she was as anxious as Yolanda. She pleaded in a soft voice, “Miss Hanson, please give my chance. It’s true that she doesn’t know oil painting, but oil painting only takes up a portion of the competition. Can you make an exception?”

“Im very sorry.” Cheryl’s face was still stem. “She can’t even pass my test, let alone the competition in the future. I advise you not to waste your energy and time. There are so many industries in the world, she will definitely replace something suitable for her. I’ll leave now,”

As Cheryl spoke, she bowed and prepared to pick up the painting on the coffee table.

At this moment, Melody suddenly picked up the two paintings in front of Cheryl and overlapped them under everyone’s puzzled pazes

With a ripping sound, the two paintings were instantly torn in half.

Mabel cried out in shock. “Master Derick’s painting!”

Yolanda was also shocked. She hurriedly looked at Russell

Russell was also shocked. It took him two seconds to react. His black eyes seemed to have been soaked in hell as he scolded in a hoarse voice, “Damn girl! Are you crazy?”

He didn’t know much about oil art, but judging from Mabel’s reaction, he knew that Master Derick’s painting must be worth a lot. Melody tore the painting just like that. He felt that she was simply courting death,

Russell’s veins were bulging. In the next second, he was about to punch Melody in the face.

However, Melody’s expression was calm as she met Cheryl’s gaze without any fear. “Miss Hanson, I’ve already finished answering the question. May 1 participate in the competition?”
