Chapter 275
After drinking the cup of coffee brought by the servant, Melody Jeaned back on the sofa and fell asleep for a few minutes.
Although it was brief, it brought her an unprecedented sense of peace.
Melody felt a sense of relief. However, when she opened her eye, she saw Jade smiling at her. Melody was terrified when she saw Jade’s red dress.
“Ah!”
Melody was so frightened that she fell off the sofa. Kenneth hurriedly helped her up and asked in confusion, “Did you nightmare?”
“S–she…”
Melody pointed in the direction behind her, shaking uncontrollably. “There’s a g–ghost…”
After she nervously finished speaking, she was met with a torrent of scolding.
To think that I thought you are obedient and sensible, but it seems you have no manners at all.
have a
Upon hearing this voice, Melody carefully turned around and realized that the person behind her was not Jade, but Felicia.
Melody panicked and immediately apologized. I’m sorry. I’m really sorry, Mrs. Harper. I had a nightmare just now. Perhaps -Have been affected by my lingering fears from before…
Felicia tried to hold back, but her good impression of Melody was completely gone today. She could not help but chastise, “You’re really so pretentious!”
Although Alexia had those compromising photos taken of her, she returned to her usual self after two days of reassurance from her family,
However, the daring culprits had still not been found, and it was unknown who currently had those photos.
Having waited for days without receiving any threats or extortion attempts, Felicia felt like a time bomb was suspended above her!
It was uncertain when it would blow up and become known to everyone.
Unfortunately, the Harper family was under investigation for tax evasion, leaving them too busy to deal with those scoundrels during this time.
Felicia glared at Melody. She said to Kenneth, “Alright, alright. You don’t have to be so protective of her. Do you think I’ll eat her?
“Rather than wasting time comforting her, you should focus on catching those people who hurt your sister! If the photos are leaked, our family’s reputation will be completely ruined!”
Kenneth could only nod. “I understand, Mom.”
I’m sorry, Mrs, Harper…”
Melody was so frightened that she started to cry, repeatedly apologizing to Felicia, who was sensitive to topics about ghosts and spirits.
In her anger, Felicia chose to ignore Melody and left with a buff
Kenneth said. “It’s okay–My-qom won’t blame you. This is how she is. She’s very blunt.”
He comforted, “Don’t cry. I’ll send you home.
“Okay”
With a lump in her throat, Melody nodded in agreement.
She was already looking haggard during this time, and now her fragile appearance only stirred a strong sense of protectiveness in others.
After Kenneth sent Melody back to the villa, he immediately left
Instead of wasting time on romantic feelings, it was far more important to track down those who had harmed his sister!
After Kenneth left, Melody’s face turned pale.
She was afraid and did not dare to sleep alone.

Melody felt a sense of fear returning to the big villa. She felt as if there were eyes watching her from every corner, creating an omnipresent feeling that sent chills down her spine.
However, this time was different. As soon as she entered, she saw Jansen circling someone.
Melody thought it was just another one of Jansen’s friends he brought home, but when she got closer, she realized it was actually an elderly man with white hair and beard, exuding an otherworldly charm.
“Who is this?” Melody wondered.
She was stunned.
The old man scrutinized Melody for a moment before he said something that caused her to be taken aback.
“A spirit has attached itself to you.”
Melody did not want to believe him.
She thought, “How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Just as I’m being tormented by Jade every night, an expert suddenly appeared beside me?‘
She snorted.
This elderly male was most likely a scammer who was spouting nonsense.
Melody ignored him and turned around to go upstairs. However, the old man gave her an amulet and said. “This can protect you for one night.”
Melody wondered if he was the real deal.
She was skeptical. Then, the old man added, “10 dollars.”
Melody stared at him speechlessly.
The corners of her mouth twitched. She sneered and walked upstairs.
Jansen was still chattering non–stop to the elderly man. “I invited you here to evaluate the villa’s design and maybe check on my financial luck. Why are you only focusing on my sister?”
“I already told you, this house has a bad energy flow. If you keep asking, my answer stays the same. I can’t help you.”
After saying that, the old man left.
He only left the amulet behind.
At night, when Melody was about to go upstairs after dinner, she remembered what the old man had said in the afternoon and wore the amulet.
Miraculously, Jade did not pester her anymore that night!
After a rare good night’s sleep, Melody’s skepticism toward the old man faded, and her trust in him grew significantly.
The next day, she eagerly asked Jansen, “How do you know that old man from yesterday? Is he trustworthy?”
Yes.
Jansen said nonchalantly, “He has set up a stall in that area for several years. He makes a living by reading people’s palms. Why are you asking that?”
“Give me his contact details,” Melody said.
When Melody found the old man from yesterday, the old man did not seem surprised at all. Instead, he reached out his hand to her. “Pay up.”
Melody was a little speechless.
However, this time, she readily gave the money to him.
Then, she asked a question that had been bothering her for several days. “Since you can already tell that there’s something wrong with me, please tell me how to get rid of it.”
“That’s easy, 100 dollars for one question,” the elderly male replied.
“Okay”
Hence, Melody gave him another 100 dollars.
As the old man counted the money, he said. “The evil aura on you is very strong. There’s only one way to resolve it. You have to atone for your sins.”
“What do you mean?” Melody asked.
“That’s the second question. 200 dollars,” the old man said.
Melody gritted her teeth and paid him.
The old man said. “There are two ways to atone for your sins. The first way is for you to publicize your wrongdoings. When you receive retribution, the other party’s resentment will naturally disappear.
The other way is to repent in front of the other party’s grave. You have to beg her till she gives up on taking revenge on you. For example, you can treat her parents well. Once you show enough sincerity, this matter will be resolved.”
It was impossible for Melody to choose the first option.
Her future would be ruined!
Therefore, after thinking about it, Melody felt thaText © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
the second method was the most convenient and easiest way.
“Are you sure this method really works?” Melody asked.
“It’s up to you to decide whether to believe me or not.”
The old man stroked his beard and smiled enigmatically.
Melody gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
From that day onward, Melody visited Jade’s family under the guise of a concerned classmate.
Not only did she help take care of Jade’s parents, but she also helped in their breakfast shop. She worked hard and never once complained that she was tired,
Her sweet and charming demeanor brought some comfort to the Payne couple, who had just lost their daughter. Melody even persuaded them to take her in as their goddaughter.
When the others in the school found out about this, they praised Melody even more.
Everyone said that she was very kind.
She did something that many people could not do.
In comparison, the suspect Tiffany was once again scolded fiercely.
