His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 113: In Five Minutes, the Jones Family Must be Bankrupt 

Gustav turned around and roared towards the bodyguard behind him.

"Help me up!"

Because of Melody's strong kick, he had lost all of his strength and could not even move a single muscle.

He could not even sit up, let alone stand.

The bodyguard quickly reacted and hurried to help him up.

Melody quickly glanced around, searching for something.Her hand reached out for a fork and a knife.She then flicked her wrist, throwing the two utensils with all her might.

The set of ordinary utensils had turned into two sharp arrows in her hands.

The two utensils seemed like they could pierce through the sky.

The same set of utensils landed on the hands of the two bodyguards.

Everything happened so fast that their hands did not even ooze with blood.

Their screams resounded throughout the entire hall.

Hearing the scream, everyone was pulled back to their senses.

Everyone looked at Melody in horror as if they were looking at a monster.

Tyrone carefully stood in front of Sarah and secretly tugged her hand. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

In a low voice, he whispered, "Sarah, has your sister always been this terrifying?"

Sarah's mouth was wide open from surprise, forgetting to react.She really didn't know...

No one in the room saw how Melody made a move.

They also did not expect that a fork and a small knife could be scary weapons enough to kill in her hands.

It was simply too horrifying.

The bodyguards were all trained and experienced.

So when they saw Melody make her move, they knew right away that even if the four of them attacked her at the same time, they would be no match for her.

They only worked for Gustav for the money.

The money they received wasn't high enough for them to disregard their lives for Gustav.The two of them went to support their other two injured comrades.

Then, they quickly left the scene, leaving Gustav alone.

Before leaving, they only gave Gustav an apologetic look.

Melody would only teach a lesson to those who needed them.

As for those bodyguards, they did not get in her way for money so it did not matter whether they left or not.

Gustav finally felt fear upon seeing Melody's display of skills.

He looked at Melody in panic, his face paled in fright.

"You...Do you know who...I am?"

Ten minutes ago, Melody received a document that recorded all of Gustav's information.

Hearing this, Melody slowly raised her head and raised her eyebrows.

Her cold gaze swept across the man lying on the ground.

"Who are you to me? Does it matter? Who am I? Are you qualified to know?"

Strong, arrogant, headstrong, and evil...

At this moment, no one dared to question Melody's attitude when she said this.She had the ability to be arrogant.Melody took out her phone and dialed a number.She said to the other side of the line, "I'll give you five minutes.I want the Jones family bankrupted."

Her voice was very calm and casual as if she was just asking for a cup of water.

Although the Jones family was not considered a top family in California, they still had a considerable amount of influence.

Now, Melody actually said that she would bankrupt him in five minutes.

How was that possible? Deep inside, everyone found the notion ridiculous, but because of the strength that Melody displayed just now, none of them dared to refute her.

For the whole time, everyone was tense as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

No one expected that a good celebration party would turn out like this.

The only one who was relaxed at this party was Melody.

She twisted her body until she found the most comfortable position, leaning against the chair.She closed her eyes and rested, waiting for the results of the phone call.

Everyone wanted to leave, but Melody wasn't saying anything.

No one dared to move without her saying anything.

It was as if they were trapped in a room with transparent glass walls.

A powerful aura was pressuring them.

It couldn't be seen but they could sense it.

No one dared to take a risk.

Suddenly...

Producer Sander's phone lying on the table suddenly rang, breaking the silence.

It sounded especially deafening in the quiet room, almost making everyone flinch in surprise.

Producer Sanders locked at his phone with a pale face.

He had wanted to curse at the caller, thinking that they harmed him but after seeing the number, his face wrinkled.

He looked at the crowd with grievance and whispered, "The investor is here!"

It was known that the investor had a particularly big background and that he could not afford to offend him.He wanted to pick the call up but he didn't dare to do so.

At this moment, the door of the private room was abruptly pushed open again.

A man's tall and straight figure entered everyone's sight.

His evil and wanton handsome face were so perfect as if it had been carved by God.

Someone immediately recognized him as the heir of the richest family in California the Harrison family.

They were internally amazed upon seeing him.

None of them had expected that he was the investor behind the production team.

The moment the door opened, the man noticed Melody sitting in the middle of the private room, half- asleep.

A faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

This girl could fall asleep no matter what the situation was and no matter where she was.

Sarah didn't expect that Seth would come, but she could not hide the excitement in her face.

At first, she was worried that things would get out of hand.

But since Seth was nowhere, everything should be resolved sooner or later.

She just had to sit back and relax.

Tyrone saw the excitement in Sarah's eyes and immediately knew that she was familiar with the investor.

"Sarah, do you know President Harrison?"

Sarah didn’t say anything and just nodded silently.

Unexpectedly, Seth directly walked towards Melody's direction upon entering the room.

Everyone automatically assumed that Seth was unhappy with Melody but out of everyone's expectations, he merely took off his coat and wrapped it around Melody.

Melody smelled a sweet scent so she opened her eyes.

Seeing the handsome face in front of her, she frowned and ask with a low voice.

"Why are you here?"

Seth chuckled and looked at her proudly.

He smugly answered, "Don't you know that the major investor for this program is already the Harrison Corporation?"

Melody really didn't know! She was too lazy to care so she didn't bother asking someone to investigate it.

Naturally, she wouldn't know about the show switching investors halfway.

Melody adjusted her sitting position and sat a little more upright.She looked at the time and saw that five minutes had already passed.

The moment she put her phone down, Gustav's phone started ringing.

Melody raised her eyebrows and looked at Gustav emotionlessly.She raised her chin and said, "Answer it.Why aren't you answering?"

For some reason, Gustav's had a sense of foreboding.He carefully picked up the phone as he hesitantly answered the call.

In the next second, he was so scared that his eyes widened.

He seemed like he had gone crazy.He even raised his voice as he frantically questioned the person on the other side of the line.

"What? What did you say...how could that happen?"

Not long after the call ended, Gustav gained his senses back.

He looked up at Melody, his eyes not only filled with panic but also extreme fear.

He crawled in front of Melody and begged in a low voice, "Miss Sullivan, I was wrong.Please be magnanimous and let me go, okay? Can you give me a way out?"

Melody casually pointed towards the door, "The door is over there.Bring yourself out!"

This was not the answer that Gustav wanted.

He had just received the phone call.

Melody was right.

In a mere five minutes, he was bankrupt.

Melody managed to do something almost impossible.

Anyone could see how terrifying her power and influence were.

"Miss Sullivan, can you please give me a way out? I know I was wrong.I'll go back and make my daughter apologize to you, okay? Can you let it go?"
