Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker

Chapter 245 

The voice carried a chilling hostility that made Benny’s heart race, 

He turned toward the direction of the voice. In the illumination of the lights, he could vaguely make out half of a face. “The eyes exuded a cold and menacing aura that was impossible to ignore. 

In an instant, Benny recognized the person approaching. It was Ken! 

He was infamous for his ruthlessness, known for killing without hesitation, even incapacitating his own brother’s legs. Fear swept from Benny’s feet to his head and spread throughout his entire body. 

Ken advanced a few steps, looking down at Benny as if he were nothing more than a pitiful and beneath his gaze. Cold sweat instantly covered Benny’s forehead 

“Ke, Ke, Ken…” Benny stuttered, unable to even say Ken’s full name. He was overwhelmed by the terrifying presence. 

Ken’s expression remained indifferent as he spoke. “Benny. You and your brother are cut from the same cloth. You dare to harm my people?” 

of yours!” 

“Your people?” Benny widened his eyes in disbelief, glancing towards Melody at Ken’s side. He asked in disbelief, “She’s… one 

Then, Benny suddenly recalled that Bobby had fallen victim to Melody, with the backing of someone from the Swanson family. He never imagined that person would be Ken himself. 

ly from the countryside? 

He thought, “Why would Ken have any connection with this country bumpkin? Isn’t she just a worthless nobody 

In just a few seconds, Benny’s mind raced through countless questions and doubts. But right now, escaping was his utmost priority! 

Benny immediately apologized with a sheepish smile. “Mr. Swanson, I’m sorry! I have no idra she is one of your people… This is just a big misunderstanding! Miss Fox, I truly apologize. Please forgive me for my rudeness 

Melody’s expression remained cold as she said, “Mr. Lawrence, I didn’t come here to cause trouble for you. We had a fair deal, but how did you 

treat me 

Benny shivered as he said regretfully. “You’re right, it’s all my fault! I shouldn’t have been influenced by my foolish nephew. Please forgive me this once, considering the damage I’ve already endured. If you’re still unsatisfied, I can call my nephew over and let you give him a good beating!” 

Melody sneered slightly. Benny was even less capable than Fairlee. At least Fairlee wouldn’t have pushed Barclay out at 

this 

moment. 

She said expressionlessly, “What I want…” 

Benny immediately said, “For free! I’ll give it to you for free! I’ll pay you ten times the cost of the equipment, and I’ll give you all the herbs you need. How about that?” 

Melody hesitated. The Lawrence family had a strong foundation. If things got out of hand, it might affect Ken. 

Just as she hesitated, several cars approached from the direction of the warehouse. It was Barclay leading Benny’s men 

Melody was facing the hot glare of the car headlights. Barclay couldn’t see who was standing beside Melody. 

All he saw was Benny lying in a pool of blood on the ground. His adrenaline surged instantly, anger bubbling up and turning into a string of angry 

words. 

“You dare touch my uncle. You’re dead! Il disfigure your face, you bitch!” Barclay swung the iron rod in his hand and charged towards Melody. 

“Barclay! Stop right there!” Benny shouted urgently. 

But Barclay didn’t care what Benny said. Instead of stopping, he sped up, his eyes burning red, determined to knock out Melody. 

However, before he could take more than a few steps, James stepped forward and delivered a flying kick. 

Barclay was sent flying more than six feet. The iron rod slipped from his hand and hit the ground. 

He screamed in pain and shouted angrily, “How dare you

He glared at James in fury, trying to figure e out who had flared to kick him. 

But when Barclay recognized James standing next to Ken, it felt like a hand had suddenly covered his throat, leaving him unable to utter a word. He 

creamed in his mind in fear, It’s Ken Swanson” 

Ken didn’t even spare a glance at Barclay. He coldly ordered. “Arrest them all. Contact Ethan Cox at the prosecutor’s office.” 

11:34 AM et c 

At the mention of “Ethan Cox” from the prosecutor’s office, Benny nearly lost his soul from fright. 

Ignoring his injuries, he crawled to Ken, clutching his legs and begging. “Mr. Swanson, it’s all Barclay’s fault! Please spare me! If Ethan gets hold of me, the entire Lawrence family is finished!” 

Ken frowned. Sensing the situation, James stepped forward to remove Benny from Ken. 

“Let’s go, Ken said, casting a glance at Melody before walking toward his car. 

Melody hurried after him. “My things…. 

Ken replied, “They’re illegal. I’ll find another way to get them back for you tomorrow.” 

Melody sighed with relief and followed Ken into the car. They drove off as James would handle the aftermath. 

“Just take me back to the Fox family’s home,” Melody requested. 

“Okay,” Ken replied curtly, no further words exchanged. 

Inside the car, an eerie silence prevailed. Melody wanted to say something to ease the tension. After two seconds of contemplation, she said, “About Miss Murphy’s illness, I could 

But Ken interrupted. “Deal with your wound first when we get back. Don’t neglect your condition.” 

He clearly didn’t want Janet mentioned at this time. 

“Okay.” Melody responded. She stole glances at Ken’s face, sensing his mood was particularly had right now. 

She pondered, “Why? Is it because he hadn’t slept well and was dragged into this mess, ruining his night’s rest?” 

As the car neared the Fox family’s neighborhood, Melody couldn’t resist asking, “When you were in the hospital, you mentioned something 

What was it?” important to discuss with me. 

Ken pressed the brake and looked at her. “We’ll talk about it properly after you finish what you’re busy with.” 

Melody’s eyes darted around, realizing whatever he wanted to discuss was indeed very important. 

“Got it.” She looked away, opened the car door, and said, “Thank you for tonight. I’ll head back now.” 

Ken didn’t reply. Just as Melody prepared to get out, he suddenly said, “Need any help!” 

She turned around in confusion. 

“Huh?” s 

Ken’s eyes fixed on her intensely. “About Wilmot’s matter. If your final bet doesn’t succeed, I can help. Dealing with Jessica requires a top–notch legal team from the Swanson Group. With our lawyers, she won’t cause any trouble, and your bet will naturally be void.” 

“No need…” Melody paused, then reminded him, “Mr. Ramon is coming back soon, right?” 

Ken replied. Two days from now.” 

Melody said, “You must be busy lately. Don’t worry about me. Focus on your own matters. As for the bet with Silk Beauty Cosmetics. I’m confident I can win since I made the bet” 

Ken frowned deeply, wanting to say that developing a new product within a week was impossible, but he decided not to. 

He urged coldly, “Suit yourself! Get out of the cart
