Chapter 404: Chapter 411 Melody Yoody’s Rage

Melody Yoody showed an apologetic smile and said, "Mr. Carter Jr., don’t be so angry. I’ll apologize on James Brown’s behalf for this incident."

"You are apologizing for him?" Michael Wilson glanced at Melody Yoody, his expression turning even uglier.

Melody Yoody was deeply worried at this moment. She knew very well how powerful the Monaghan Family was. If Michael Wilson truly wanted to kill James Brown and given how powerless James Brown was to defend himself, even if she were willing to protect him, it would be utterly impossible. So at this juncture, the only option was to plead with Michael Wilson to quench his anger. She smiled warmly and said, "Mr. Carter Jr., you are such an esteemed figure of the Monaghan Family. How could you stoop to quarrel with an ordinary person? Wouldn’t that diminish your status?"

Michael Wilson suddenly smirked coldly and said, "So you know what kind of person I am? Yet you still associate yourself with this bastard. Are you trying to humiliate me?"

Melody Yoody felt a pang of bitterness inside. She bit her lip and said, "Mr. Carter Jr., I’m just a minor member of the Yawk Family, not some key figure of the Monaghan Family. I am fully aware I don’t deserve someone like you."

"Fine, fine. Yet, I happen to fancy you anyway. Don’t you want me to spare this punk? Alright. Then come with me right now, sleep with me tonight, and I’ll... spare this bastard." Michael Wilson didn’t even look at Melody Yoody while speaking those words. He stared directly at James Brown—he intended to return the humiliation he just suffered twofold.

Since there was supposed to be some illicit affair between James Brown and Melody Yoody, Michael Wilson chose to humiliate Melody Yoody publicly, knowing full well that the highest form of humiliation for a man was to demean the woman he cared about in his presence.

James Brown stood up, gazing sharply at Michael Wilson. His expression remained utterly calm. His mental maturity far exceeded Michael Wilson’s. If it was merely a few humiliating words, he could easily ignore them. But Michael Wilson dared to humiliate Melody Yoody—that was something James Brown wouldn’t let slide so easily.

Michael Wilson’s tone turned darker as he said, "Melody, you don’t have to agree. I, Michael Wilson, don’t necessarily need you. But... this bastard—heh—any woman I don’t want, no one else can have her. Whoever dares, I’ll take their life."

Melody Yoody had already turned pale with rage from Michael Wilson’s words. But considering James Brown’s safety, she clenched her fury tightly within. She forced a smile and said, "Mr. Carter Jr., please don’t be angry anymore. I promise not to associate with him ever again, and I’ll remain unmarried my whole life. How about that?"

Michael Wilson’s face lit up at the first part of Melody Yoody’s statement, but the second part enraged him further. Melody Yoody’s words implied that, no matter what happened, she wouldn’t marry him.

"Fine, fine. For this punk, you’d rather remain unmarried for life than marry me, correct?" Michael Wilson glared angrily at Melody Yoody.

"Sorry, Mr. Carter Jr., I can’t marry you. You wouldn’t want a tarnished woman, would you?"

"Hahaha... fine, fine! Since you won’t marry me and still want to save this punk, I’ll give you one chance. Do this one thing, and I’ll spare you both." Michael Wilson unexpectedly sat down in a chair.

Despite knowing Michael Wilson’s request would be no easy task, Melody Yoody still asked, "What is it?"

Michael Wilson pointed to the space in front of him and said, "It’s simple. Here and now, serve me in front of this punk, and I’ll... let you both go."

Melody Yoody’s face turned ashen instantly. Her body began trembling uncontrollably. Pointing at Michael Wilson, she was already too furious to utter anything.

"Haha, you don’t have to agree. Then watch what I’ll do to this bastard. I want to see how deep your feelings run for him, whether you’re willing to do anything for this punk."

"To hell with you!" Following a sharp shout, a heavy slap landed squarely on Michael Wilson’s face.

And the one who slapped Michael Wilson wasn’t James Brown—it was Melody Yoody. Her naturally fiery and tenacious temperament refused to tolerate Michael Wilson’s appalling proposal any longer. For James Brown, she had already endured to the maximum. This slap was filled with indomitable spirit and resolute strength.

With a resounding smack, Michael Wilson’s chair toppled over, and he fell to the ground. He didn’t get up for quite a while.

James Brown was startled. He rushed to support Melody Yoody and gently patted her back while urgently saying, "Don’t get angry. Don’t get angry. What if you hurt the baby in your womb?"

Melody Yoody, who still wanted to kick Michael Wilson a few times, was completely chilled by James Brown’s words. Her body instantly gave out, and her heart began racing uncontrollably. She stammered out, "Could it really be?"

James Brown promptly helped Melody Yoody to the sofa, softly stroking her chest to regulate her breath, saying nervously, "How do you feel now? Is there any discomfort?"

Melody Yoody took two deep breaths, placed her hands lightly on her abdomen, and shook her head, saying, "It doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong."

"You scared me to death. Striking people like this—that’s for me to handle. How can you do that, especially when you’re pregnant?" James Brown chided Melody Yoody gently.

"Alright, alright. I know now. I won’t lose my temper like this again," Melody Yoody replied with a sweet smile.

Michael Wilson got up, glaring at the two lovebirds engaged in their affectionate exchange. His mood was already unbearable, and upon hearing Melody Yoody was pregnant, his face turned green with rage. In this day and age, virginity wasn’t a deciding factor, and he hadn’t expected Melody Yoody to be pure upon marriage given she was already twenty-six. However, considering that discussions of marriage between the Monaghan and Yawk families were ongoing, her pregnancy was a massive insult to him and his family.

More than anything, James Brown and Melody Yoody treated him like air in their presence. As Young Master Woods, he had never endured such contempt. Not from an ordinary man like James Brown, nor Melody Yoody. This disregard, he could absolutely not permit.

"Melody Yoody, you’re remarkable. I’ll be sure to inform your family about this matter and see how the Yawk Family explains themselves to ours!" Michael Wilson spat out, storming off. He feared that if he stayed any longer, he’d lose his mind.

James Brown and Melody Yoody acted as if they hadn’t heard a word. James Brown continued to stroke Melody Yoody’s abdomen, softly scolding her for her rashness, while Melody Yoody repeatedly expressed remorse.

"Oh gosh, it’s all your fault. You’ve driven me to slap Michael Wilson! What should we do now?" Melody Yoody asked after a moment of intimacy, suddenly realizing the gravity of the situation.

James Brown chuckled lightly, replying, "There’s nothing to do. Just focus on nurturing your child."

"What child-rearing? The Monaghan Family isn’t one to be easily trifled with. I struck him. At worst, they’ll force me to apologize. They wouldn’t dare do anything to me, but you’re different. They have countless ways to take your life. I don’t want my child born without a father!"

James Brown held Melody Yoody’s shoulders and said, "Don’t worry. It’s just the Monaghan Family; they can’t do anything to me. Don’t forget, the backing behind J Organization may surpass anything the Monaghan Family has. Even Lucy Campbell is someone they wouldn’t want to mess with."

"Ah, you’re right! For now, make sure you stay put in the company and avoid unnecessary outings. I’ll hint at the backing behind J Corporation. The Monaghan family wouldn’t dare mess with J Organization. High-ranking families like theirs are particular about maintaining relations between clans. Especially with someone like Lucy Campbell—they truly wouldn’t provoke her."

James Brown chuckled softly, "Feeling reassured now?"

"No, not at all!" Melody Yoody shook her head again and said, "Even if they don’t directly target J Corporation, they’ll come after you. If they eliminate you, Lucy Campbell wouldn’t go to war with the Monaghan family for you personally. The only way is if Lucy Campbell herself steps in to crush them, but that’s unlikely."

James Brown rubbed his nose, amused. These were quite manageable odds. Lucy Campbell practically lived at his house, freeloading meals every day and was also his secretary at the company. She wouldn’t stand idle if something happened to him.

Besides, James Brown didn’t truly fear the Monaghan Family. Back when Hawk Squad was situated in the Capital of SSUP, even the top clan there hadn’t looked down on them. A province-level family like the Monaghan Family was hardly intimidating. But James Brown didn’t bother explaining all this to Melody Yoody.

"Alright, stop worrying. Don’t forget that Gina Lopez is the CEO of J Corporation, and Lucy Campbell wouldn’t ignore Gina’s requests even if she doesn’t care about me. And it’s a simple matter for Lucy to mediate and win everyone over while at it."

"Yes, yes! You’ve made a point. As Gina Lopez’s husband, you just need Gina’s word, and Lucy Campbell wouldn’t refuse to intervene. Plus, taking action wouldn’t cost Lucy anything and could even earn her goodwill."

"See? Relax now?" James Brown lightly pinched Melody Yoody’s nose and said, "Being upset, anxious—these are bad for the child. You need to maintain a good mood for the baby’s healthy development."

Melody Yoody nodded, the weight lifting from her heart. If Lucy Campbell stepped in, the Monaghan Family couldn’t even utter a word. Without Lucy Campbell’s interference, the slap and pregnancy were undeniable insults to the Monaghan Family. But with Lucy Campbell’s intervention, the matter would become insignificant.

Relieved, Melody Yoody quickly turned her attention to James Brown. She glared at him before lowering her head and biting his shoulder.

"Hey! Why are you biting me?" James Brown dared not move, allowing Melody Yoody to sink her teeth into him.

After releasing her bite, Melody Yoody complained bitterly, "You jerk! No wonder you won’t divorce Gina Lopez! Turns out she has such extraordinary connections. I bet you don’t even think much of me anymore, huh?"
