Chapter 736
One had to be wary of others. Although she was still willing to let Aaron Berg have a special reason, she was still careful when she changed her clothes and hid a dagger in her sleeve before leaving.
Although she was sure that her skills were better than Aaron Berg’s, there was still a certain risk if she did not make any preparations.
Almost all the lights in the villa had been turned off. Melody Fox left the villa quietly and walked straight to the back garden.
As soon as she reached the entrance of the back garden, Melody Fox saw Aaron Berg waiting for her by the fountain. “Miss Fox.”
Aaron Berg lowered his voice and took a few steps forward with an indescribably strange expression.
Melody Fox nodded and stopped when he was six feet away from Aaron Berg.
Without preamble, she asked, “What did you find out?” Aaron Berg said with a conflicted expression, “Someone did… do something behind your back to stop all the law firms from working with you. The first to receive the news was Feiyang Law Firm, and then the boss of Feiyang Law Firm informed the other law firms…”
Melody Fox frowned and interrupted Aaron Berg.
“You don’t have to say that. Just tell me the identity of the person behind this and the name.”
A conflicted expression appeared on Aaron Berg’s face again.
Melody Fox felt even more suspicious.
“Aaron Berg, what’s wrong? Is this person’s identity so difficult for you to say?”
She didn’t understand.
Aaron Berg seemed to have mustered up his courage. He puffed out his chest and said, “Let me tell you, Miss Fox! That person is none other than Sir.”
Melody had yet to react.
“Sir? Which sir?”
Looking at Aaron Berg’s complicated expression, Melody Fox finally reacted.
She widened her eyes in disbelief and took a long time to find her voice.
“Y-you’re saying that the person behind this is Ken Swanson?”
Aaron Berg gritted his teeth and said softly, “You didn’t hear wrongly. That person… is indeed Sir.”
Melody Fox was still unwilling to believe it.
“Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
Aaron Berg nodded and said with difficulty, “You didn’t hear wrongly. I didn’t make a mistake either. At first, I thought that I had made a mistake or that the person we captured was trying to deceive me. But after catching a few of them, they all pointed to you.”
Melody Fox did not know what expression to show at this moment.
She had been busy with this matter for a long time today, but she did not expect that the culprit was the person closest to her.
Melody Fox finally understood why Aaron Berg did not make things clear over the phone and insisted on calling her to this remote garden. He even chose the side of the fountain.
A fountain could cover up a lot of sounds.
Aaron Berg was indeed telling the truth.
Melody Fox looked up and met Aaron Berg’s gaze. He thanked him sincerely. “Thank you, Aaron Berg.”
Aaron Berg shook his head, then lowered his eyes and said, “But this is the last time.”
Next time, he would not tell Melody Fox any secrets related to Sir.
This time, it was only out of gratitude.
He was grateful that she had kept him alive.
He had always been clear about gratitude and grudges. His sister’s death made him very sad, but he also knew that the person who ordered Nyla Berg’s death was Sir. It had nothing to do with Melody Fox. Their lives belonged to Sir in the first place. Someone like Nyla Berg who wanted to seek revenge was an anomaly.
However, gratitude was one thing. This did not mean that he would stand on a different side from Sir next time.
Melody Fox nodded. “I understand, but I still have to thank you. Go and rest. I’m going back too.”
Melody Fox walked towards the villa with a lot on her mind.
Along the way, Melody Fox kept asking herself, “Why did he do this?”
But even when she reached the door of the study, she still couldn’t find an answer.
The only possibility was that he did not like her, so he deliberately wanted to make things difficult for her.
‘But why?
They had never even quarreled before. Why did he have to make things difficult for her?
Moreover, he had many ways to make things difficult for her. Ken Swanson would not choose to do such a despicable thing.
Could there really be a misunderstanding, causing the law firm to misunderstand, or did Aaron Berg not do a good job?
Countless question marks jumped around in Melody Fox’s mind.
She took a deep breath and finally decided to ask him directly.
She would never be able to find an answer if she let her imagination run wild here, so she might as well confront him face to face.
After making up her mind, Melody Fox was afraid that she would hesitate again, so she raised her hand and knocked on the study door.
Ken Swanson’s voice came from inside. “Who is it?”
The voice was very clear, which meant that he was still awake.
“It’s me,” Melody Fox replied. “I have something to ask you. Can I come in?”
There was silence for two seconds before a voice sounded again. “I’m already asleep. Let’s talk tomorrow morning.”
“I’ll finish quickly…”
Ken Swanson rejected her directly. “I’ll look for you tomorrow morning.”
Melody Fox clenched her fists tightly. In the end, she could only return empty-handed.
She could not fall into a deep sleep for the entire night. Even the slightest movement outside the window could wake her up.
Melody Fox could no longer lie down. She planned to wake Ken Swanson up before he woke up.
However, when she reached the door of the study, she realized that the door was half open. She pushed the door open and saw that Ken Swanson was nowhere to be seen. There was not even a shadow.
Coincidentally, a servant passed by.
Melody Fox quickly pulled that person back and asked, ” Where’s Ken Swanson ?”
The servant did not know that they had slept in separate rooms last night. When she heard this, she asked in surprise, “Young Master has already gone to work. Don’t you know?”
Melody Fox did not answer and asked, “What time?”
“I heard from the kitchen that he left at five o’clock. The kitchen is about to prepare breakfast, but the eldest young master has already left.” “Five o’clock?!”
Melody Fox suddenly remembered that at about five o’clock, she did hear a commotion next door.
However, the sky was still dark, so she did not think too much about it and continued to close her eyes to rest.
Now that he thought about it, Ken Swanson should have woken up at the time.
So… was he hiding from her?
It seemed that the person who obstructed her from finding a lawyer was really Ken Swanson.
But why?
Why would he do such a small thing?
Melody Fox felt like her brain was about to explode.
***************
However, at the same time, the new butler found her and said politely,” Mrs. Swanson, Sir wants you to go to his study.
Melody Fox asked in shock, “Why are you looking for me?” The butler looked helpless and said, “I don’t know about that.”
“Then I’ll go over now.”
Melody Fox could not get an answer from the butler. She personally walked towards Ramon Swanson’s study.
Ramon Swanson’s study was on the third floor. She had gone in last time, but it was not a good thing.
Soon, Melody Fox arrived at the door of the study. Without waiting for her to knock, Ramon Swanson said, “Come in.” Melody Fox walked in and saw Ramon Swanson standing by the window with his back facing her. It was almost the same location as the last time they talked.
Ramon Swanson saw her coming through the reflection in the window glass.
“Dad, you…”
Ramon Swanson raised his hand to interrupt her. He turned around and said, “This is a gift I brought back for you on this business trip. It’s not anything valuable. Take it and play with it.”
Chapter 737
Melody glanced at the desk.
There was a red sandalwood box on the table, and inside was a fist-sized raw jade stone.
This size of raw jadeite was not rare. What was rare was that its color was the best among jadeite and imperial green. The color was almost the same as a beer bottle. The jade was pure and almost flawless.
In recent years, jadeite has been popular at Halcyon. If it was auctioned, it would be worth at least 20 million dollars.
Of course, to Ramon Swanson, a mere 20 million dollars was indeed “not a valuable thing.”
But the question was, why did Ramon Swanson give this to her?
Did he want to spend more money to get her to divorce Ken Swanson like last time?
However, the previous offer was not only 20 million dollars. It did not make sense that the price had decreased.
Melody Fox’s mind was racing when Ramon Swanson spoke again. “Don’t misunderstand. This isn’t your breakup fee with Ken Swanson.”
“That is?”
Ramon Swanson smiled and said, “I can tell that you’re indeed a good girl recently. In addition, you have a deep relationship with Ken Swanson. As your elder, how can I do something like breaking up a couple again?”
There must be something wrong with this abnormality. Ramon Swanson’s attitude towards her had changed, causing Melody Fox to be 120% alert.
She put on a grateful and terrified expression and said, ” Thank you. I’ll definitely work hard to be Ken’s wife and not embarrass him and the Swanson family.”
Ramon Swanson raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and said, “For a family like ours, reputation is a prerequisite.”
When Melody Fox heard this, she knew that Ramon Swanson was finally going to get to the point.
As expected, the next second, Ramon Swanson said, “Ulric Swanson’s actions are too ridiculous. No matter how much he hates Ken Swanson, he shouldn’t have schemed against you. He even accidentally caused Wendell’s death.”
Melody Fox did not say anything and waited for Ramon Swanson to continue.
“However, he already knows his mistake. I’ve also punished him. I hope that you won’t mention this to anyone else on my account. This not only concerns the Swanson family’s face, but it will also affect the Swanson Group’s stocks and prestige. You’re a sensible child. You should know what to do, right?”
It turned out that the words “reputation is the prerequisite for a foothold” were waiting for her here.
Melody nodded expressionlessly and said, “I know.”
Ramon Swanson was even more satisfied.
“I knew it. You’re a good kid.”
He took the box, closed the lid, and handed it to her. “Take the gift. It’s up to you whether you want to buy it or carve it into an ornament.”
Melody Fox accepted it without hesitation.
It would be a waste not to take something that was given for free.
However, when she walked out the door, Melody could not help but turn to Ramon Swanson and say, “Dad, do you really think Ken Swanson crippled Ulric Swanson’s leg?”
Ramon Swanson’s expression froze. He frowned and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
“It’s nothing.” Melody Fox shook her head and said calmly, “I have to go to work. Continue with your work.”
After saying that, she left the study without looking back, leaving Ramon Swanson standing there with an unclear expression.
Ulric Swanson’s leg incident was almost conclusive evidence, and Ken Swanson had never defended himself.
But what did Melody Fox mean by that?
He had to think of a terrible possibility.
Ulric Swanson’s leg was crippled by him.
However, when Ulric Swanson was not even an adult yet, could he be so ruthless to himself?
If that was the case, he could even be so ruthless to himself, let alone criticize others.
Ramon Swanson’s expression unknowingly became uglier. Compared to Melody Fox, who left with the imperial jade, was in a slightly better mood.
She did not expect her words to completely change Ramon Swanson’s mind about that matter.
However, Ramon Swanson was a suspicious and selfish person. What she said was enough to plant a seed of doubt in his heart.
And one day, this seed would take root and germinate, growing into a towering tree in Ramon Swanson’s heart. After returning to her room, Melody Fox changed out her pajamas and called Ken Swanson.
Firstly, she wanted to tell him that Ramon Swanson was looking for her. Secondly, she wanted to continue the topic from last night.
However, the call was hung up after two rings.
‘Busy?’
Or did he not want to answer her call?
Before Melody Fox could decide if she should call again, David Marrow called.
“Miss Fox, the medical center doesn’t have enough manpower. What Fox do you need?”
“I’m leaving now.”
“Okay, okay. There’s one more thing. There are already many people queuing up at the entrance to collect pasta.
Don’t forget to bring people over to help pack pasta.”
“Okay.”
Melody Fox hung up.
There were too many things to do. She could not care about it for the time being.
As she walked out, she dialed Dorrene Downey.
“Sister Dongling, do you know how to book pasta?”
After receiving an affirmative answer, she immediately invited the other party to help. Dorrene Downey agreed without thinking.
After the confirmation, Melody called Zara Wentworth.
“Zaza, do you have any plans for today?”
“No plans. Why? Is there anything I can help you with?”
When Melody mentioned pasta, Zara Wentworth readily agreed and said that he could bring his two assistants over to help.
With four more people, Melody Fox was slightly relieved and got into the car heading to Herbathrive.
By the time Melody arrived at Herbathrive, there was already a long queue at the entrance.
Because she had previously said that there was a limit of 100 servings, the team was not exaggerating…
As soon as she appeared, a worker from Herbathrive immediately came forward and asked, “Miss Fox, Momma Talia is in the bag pasta, but only a dozen or so have been wrapped up so far. Do you want to help wrap up pasta first or see the patient first?”
“Let’s see the patient first. We can’t mix up the priorities. This is a medical center, not a restaurant.”
“Yes, I understand.” The shop assistant agreed and quickly called the person who helped Momma Talia pack pasta back to his post before Melody Fox.
Under the urging of the crowd waiting for pasta, Melody Fox walked to the consultation room on the second floor and began to get busy.
However, they were still severely understaffed.
Fortunately, the people she poached from the hospital where Sid Quant was last time also arrived very quickly. Most of them did not know much about traditional medicine, but as doctors, they could still help a little.
The number of patients squeezed into the clinic gradually decreased.
By the time Melody saw all the patients in the morning, Dorrene Downey, Zara Wentworth, and the others had finally finished wrapping Momma Talia’s pasta. They began to boil water to put in the pasta.
Melody went over to give them a hand and turned to thank them.
“It’s all thanks to your help today. I’ll treat you to lunch later.”
Dorrene Downey and Zara Wentworth shook their heads along with Fox.
“No need. Treat us to pasta!”
“That’s right. There are so many people queuing up. I really want to try this pasta.”
Melody Fox smiled and said, “Alright, you must have a share. However, Zaza, I wonder if you can do me a favor?”
“What favor? Just say it!”
Chapter 738
Melody Fox pulled Zara Wentworth over and whispered in her ear.
After Zara Wentworth heard this, she immediately made an OK” gesture.
“No problem.”
“Is it really okay? Will your agent restrict these? If there are restrictions, it’s fine not to do it.”
“There’s no limit!” Zara Wentworth stuck out her tongue and said, “With my current status, I’m not that strict. Besides, my manager… Although he has a lot of resources, he also has a lot of artists under him. He doesn’t have enough time to control me.”
“That’s good. You can post it when it starts later.” “Good!”
Zara Wentworth was very happy. She owed Melody Fox a lot of favors. Finally, she could help her once.
Coincidentally, the water had boiled.
The group immediately got busy.
Some were moving things out, some were taking seasonings, and some were taking out to serve. Although they were busy, they were orderly.
This was all thanks to David Marrow.
He arrived at the clinic early in the morning. He knew that it would be very busy today, so he had assigned everyone work before everyone arrived. He did not want to start panicking at the appointed time.
Melody saw this and patted David Marrow’s shoulder in satisfaction.
“You’re doing great.”
After David Marrow was praised, his ears turned red.
“Miss Fox, I’m more used to you scolding me.”
Melody shook her head and pretended to kick David Marrow.
“Are you comfortable now?”
“Comfortable!” David Marrow chuckled.
Melody thought of Nana Jensen and asked in a low voice, “What did Nana Jensen say? Have you guys reconciled?”
The smile on David Marrow’s face faded as he said, “Nana Jensen still refuses to talk to me. What do you think I should do?”
“Resolve your own sins. You were the one who broke her heart back then. Think of a way to resolve it yourself. I won’t interfere in the matters between the two of you.”
David Marrow lowered his head, but he quickly perked up.
“A good woman is afraid of men pestering her. I’ll look for her when I’m free! Anyway, I definitely won’t give up.”
Melody shrugged and walked out.
The pot was already set up outside. Everyone in the queue was looking forward to it.
The person who was ranked first on the line, handed his bowl over before it even before the pasta floated up.
“I’m the first, I’m the first. You have to give me the first bowl first!”
Momma Talia shook her head helplessly.
“I know you’re the first, but you’ll have to wait until pasta is cooked first.”
The group of people behind him was amused, especially those who had not tasted the pasta last time. They could not help but ask, “Is this pasta really that delicious?”
The person in front of him immediately turned his head and said, “This thing should only exist in the sky. You’ll know after eating it.”
“Alright, then I’ll continue to wait. If it doesn’t taste good, I won’t come again.”
“You’re wrong. The medical center gives pasta for free. Not to mention that this pasta is excellent, even if it’s not delicious, we can’t complain.”
That person pursed his lips and said, “But I’m queuing up for an hour! Isn’t there a saying that waiting is money?”
As soon as he said this, those who had tasted the pasta looked at him one after another, waiting for him to slap their faces.
Soon, the first pot of pasta was cooked.
Zara Wentworth took a few steps forward and took a photo of the round pasta before sending it to her social media account.
The caption: This is the best pasta I’ve ever eaten in my life. Boohoo, it’s so delicious that I’m crying. (Cry emoji)
After sending the content, she was about to show it to Melody Fox when someone in the crowd recognized her. “Hey, are you Zara Wentworth?”
Zara Wentworth quickly put on her mask and shook her head in a low voice. “No, you’ve got the wrong person.”
With that, she hurriedly returned inside the Herbathrive, afraid that she would be recognized and cause trouble.
However, what she did not notice was that the person who had just spoken looked at her back and narrowed his eyes coldly.
“What are you looking at?”
The man’s friend asked.
“I saw a very annoying person.”
“Huh? Your petty colleague?”
“No, she’s the mortal enemy of my goddess, Yana Norangel. I didn’t expect her to know someone from this clinic. How unlucky. Let’s go, I’m not eating pasta anymore!”
“Hey, don’t go! It’s not easy for it to be your turn. Won’t you have queued for so long for nothing if you leave?”
“Are you leaving or not? If you don’t, I’ll be angry.”
His friend had no choice but to step out of the group.
At Herbathrive Hall.
Melody sent off a familiar patient. When she turned around, Zara Wentworth quickly walked towards her. “Melody, it’s out! Take a look.”
Melody Fox nodded and took the phone to take a look. The effect of celebrities was indeed extraordinary.
Less than two minutes after the post was posted, there were already more than a thousand comments.
This was still a C- or D-list celebrity like Zara Wentworth. If it was a first- or second-tier celebrity, the traffic would only be even more terrifying.
But with Zara Wentworth advertising for her, Melody Fox was very satisfied.
“How is it? My fans are pretty good, aren’t they?” Zara Wentworth smiled and said, “Look at the caption again. Isn’t it very realistic?”
Melody Fox nodded. “Not bad. I’ll reward you with two bowls of pasta in a while. But you have to finish the 100 servings of pasta first.”
“Yes, yes! I’m not in a hurry! I’ll recover my fans in two minutes and tell them where pasta came from. It’ll be more realistic.”
“Alright. Go to the backyard and rest first. If someone recognizes you, the threshold of our Herbathrive will probably collapse.”
Melody Fox pushed Zara Wentworth back to the backyard while he went back to the door to help cook pasta.
David Marrow had bought a disposable plastic bowl in advance. After the pasta was cooked and scooped into the bowl, he spread a layer of seasoning and poured a spoonful of hot oil into it. The fragrance of Fox spread in all directions, making people hungry.
Soon, the first pot of pasta was distributed to the first few people in the queue.
The first person couldn’t wait to stand by the stall and start eating.
After taking a bite, juice flowed in his mouth. The freshness of the vegetables and the tenderness of the meat were mixed together with the newly modified seasoning of Melody Fox. It was almost perfect.
He almost cried from the deliciousness. The satisfaction in his heart could not be any greater.
“This is the taste! But it seems to be even better than last time. Did you change some ingredients?”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “You’re really amazing. You actually managed to recognize the taste of it. This is the final formula we decided on. It won’t be changed in the future. Moreover, there are also herbs in it to prevent colds. It’s very good to eat this in a new season.”
“There are also herbs? I can’t tell at all! Your culinary skills are really amazing! I always thought that medicine was bitter. Boohoo, can I ask for another bowl for my wife to try?”
Melody Fox said embarrassedly, “Sorry, we don’t have enough manpower. We only prepared 100 sets, so we can’t receive them repeatedly.”
The man nodded and asked, “Are you still doing it tomorrow?”
“I’m still making them. I’ll give them to you on weekends.” “That’s great! I have to be the first in line tomorrow!”
After saying that, he left with his pasta, which was reluctant to eat. The others who received pasta also cherished the pasta in their bowls.
It was so delicious that he could not bear to eat it!
The second pot of pasta was soon out of the oven.
The person who doubted whether everyone was exaggerating and said that they wouldn’t come if it didn’t taste good was also given a bowl.
Chapter 739
He was the second batch to receive pasta.
He had seen the reactions of the first batch of people.
The stunned expression in everyone’s eyes made him even more curious about whether pasta was really that delicious. Or could it be that the people in front of him were all shills, and pasta actually had to be paid?
Thinking of this, the person carried pasta to Melody Fox and confirmed, “Are you sure this pasta is free?”
Melody Fox nodded. “Don’t worry, we won’t charge you a single cent. However, if you want to buy herbs in the future, please patronize our Herbathrive.”
“Oh, so that’s how you attract business!”
That person was also relieved. He was even more certain that the people in front of him were all shills hired by Herbathrive.
It was just an ordinary-looking bowl of pasta. Even if it was delicious, how delicious could it be?
He was lucky enough to have eaten at a Michelin restaurant.
However, since it was free, it would be a waste not to eat it.
At the thought of this, he could not care less about the fact that pasta was still hot. He blew on it a few times and sent it into his mouth.
In the next second, the expression on his face froze. His brain seemed to be setting off fireworks, making him feel like he had fallen into the clouds.
This was definitely the best pasta food he had ever eaten in his life!
Oh no, this must be the best thing he had ever eaten in his life!
Before he could come back to his senses, the ten pieces of pasta ravioli in his bowl had all gone down his stomach. He seemed to suddenly understand the feelings of Zhu Bajie eating the Ginseng Fruit.
However, he was still unsatisfied. He could not help but ask Melody Fox shamelessly, “Can you give me another bowl? I ate too quickly just now and did not completely taste it.”
“I’m sorry, but each person is only allowed to receive one bowl…”
The answer was expected, but he couldn’t help but ask.
He carried the bowl and left with a regretful expression. He even drank the pasta soup, but he still wanted more.
“It’s a slap in the face, right?”
The person in front of him followed and asked, “Isn’t it delicious?”
That person smiled embarrassedly and said, “It’s indeed delicious, but I like this kind of face to be slapped a few more times.”
“Dream on! I’m bringing my entire family here tomorrow!”
“Hey, you’re too much. You’re bullying my family because they’re not in Silverlake, right?”
“Uh-huh!”
“Then I’ll have to hire a scalper to help me line up.”
“Hey, that’s too much!”
The 100 servings of pasta were quickly sold out. Many people returned empty-handed, but they secretly vowed to line up even earlier tomorrow.
After sending off the people queuing up, the employees of Herbathrive finally had their meal.
Melody Fox gave Momma Talia’s bowl to Zara Wentworth.
“Hurry up and try it. The post can’t make you lose your hair.” Zara Wentworth did not stand at the ceremony. Just as he was about to pick up a pasta and eat it, she suddenly thought of something and asked in a low voice, “Melody, do you want to open a restaurant?”
“Not really, but I do want to develop in the food and beverage industry.”
“That’s good. If I don’t know what to eat in the future, I’ll go to your restaurant to eat!”
Melody Fox smiled without saying anything. He did not explain that he wanted to make fast food first before working hard at the physical store.
“Alright, the weather is so cold. If you don’t eat quickly, it will get cold.”
Zara Wentworth nodded and quickly stuffed pasta into her mouth.
This was her first time eating this pasta. When she took a bite, her eyes lit up.
To think that she had thought that the post was more or less exaggerated. Now that she had personally tasted pasta, she realized that the truth was more than what the post described.
No wonder there were so many people queuing up. If it were her, she would be willing to queue for so long.
“Wuwuwu, I want another bowl!”
“Eat it. There’s still plenty of stuffing, but you have to wrap pasta yourself.”
“No problem at all! I want to pack a hundred of them and bring them back to eat!”
Melody had a doting look on her face.
“You can pack as much as you want.”
In the backyard, the people were having fun, but Zara Wentworth’s posts online caused a huge battle between anti-fans and fans.
The comments below were very harmonious at first. They were all comments from true fans.
“I’ve finally posted after wrapping up, baby! I hope it won’t be pasta next time, but a beautiful photo of you.”
“Eat more if it’s delicious. You’re too skinny!”
“Am I the only one who wants to know where Zaza ate pasta? It looks so delicious!”
Back in the backyard, Zara Wentworth chose this comment and replied, “At Herbathrive, this is a medical center. 100 copies of pasta will be free on weekends. Not only is it delicious, but there’s also a lot of herbs inside. It can prevent colds during the new season and increase your immunity.”
The fans quickly replied excitedly, “Ah ah ah, the goddess replied to me! I’ll take a plane over tomorrow to eat!”
Zara Wentworth’s reply quickly pushed this comment to the top. Fans began to discuss forming a team to eat Herbathrive tomorrow.
But soon, a sarcastic comment appeared.
“You even took a plane over to eat? Are you all idiots? This post is obviously advertising, okay? A pasta can still be bragged about. Your idol is really good. He’s even willing to say anything for a little advertising fee.”
This comment quickly sparked a war of words.
However, that person did not panic at all and directly posted a moving picture in the comments.
In the moving picture, Zara Wentworth did not eat pasta at all. Instead, she took a photo of pasta, which had just been fished out, and then made it into Herbathrive.
After posting the picture, the person added, “Did you see that? I happened to be at the scene. It’s true that she didn’t even try that pasta before she closed her eyes and started praising it. Fans, are you slapping your faces? Do you still want to take a plane over to eat?”
Once this comment was posted, the fans didn’t know how to reply.
Zara Wentworth’s anti-fans and Yana Norangel’s fans started mocking her in the comments section when they saw her fans suffer.
“I’ve seen artists who eat fake food, but I’ve never seen an artist who doesn’t even want to eat fake food. Tsk tsk…”
“How big is this brand? Even those Best Actors and Best Actresses don’t act so arrogantly.”
“Who is Zara Wentworth? Where did this 18th-tier celebrity come from to put on airs?”
“I’m dying of laughter. With her status, she can only accept such low-level advertisements. Next door, Yana Norangel is in contact with the international luxury brand Chanel.”
“I really don’t know how she pushed Yana Norangel out of the production team and became the only female lead.” “Previous poster, what other reason can there be? The sugar daddy is rich enough!”
In less than ten minutes, the post had been flooded with vulgarities.
When the marketing accounts saw this, they began to add fuel to the fire and point out the cause and effect of the matter.
Soon, the words “Zara Wentworth verified” became a trending topic.
Similarly, Yana Norangel also noticed the activity on the Internet.
When she saw that even passersby and netizens were scolding Zara Wentworth for being unprofessional and accepting low-level advertisements, she laughed excitedly. “Hahahaha… To accept an advertisement from pasta, is Zara Wentworth crazy?”
The assistant beside him quickly laughed along.
“Sister Yana, a few days ago, you were still worried that the variety show would be suppressed by her. I think you don’t have to worry at all. An artiste like her who came from a poor background doesn’t even need you to do anything. She killed herself. I think the company might directly remove her from the variety show because of this matter.”

Chapter 740
Yana Norangel was in a good mood. The gloominess of being removed from the production team recently was swept away.
She smirked and said, “This is not enough to get her removed from the variety show. Contact a few marketing accounts and create more dirt on her. She’s currently ranked Seventeenth on the trending searches. After a small Fox, I want to see her being defamed as the number one trending topic.”
The assistant hesitated for a moment and asked, “Are you sure you want to do this? Everyone in the company is saying that… the sugar daddy behind Zara Wentworth is Mr. Swanson.”
“Mr. Swanson? Heh! That’s impossible! Don’t I know her? She only loves Ken Swanson unrequitedly. Besides, even if it’s true, will Mr. Swanson stand up for Zara Wentworth after the matter blows up? She’s not worthy.”
“But…”
“Cut the crap! Hurry up and go, or else…” Yana Norangel narrowed his eyes threateningly. “Recently, I’ve lost a few branded bags at home. Don’t think I don’t know that you took them.”
The assistant was shocked and did not dare to say anything else. She immediately contacted the marketing account.
Seeing this, Yana Norangel leisurely poured herself a glass of red wine and scrolled through the online insults against Zara Wentworth in satisfaction.
Soon, under the push of the marketing account, in less than 10 minutes, Zara Wentworth was defamed to the top of the trending searches.
Yana Norangel flipped through the overwhelming dirt and deliberately ‘slipped’ to like one of the most realistic ones. Then, she quickly canceled it.
However, this action was immediately captured by the marketing account. The netizens immediately thought that the scandal was real, so Yana Norangel liked it.
However, Zara Wentworth still did not know what had happened online. She was chatting and laughing with Dorrene Downey and Melody Fox as they gave free bags of pasta for tomorrow.
“Melody, where did you learn to cook? If pasta can cook so well, your culinary skills must be very good too.”
Dorrene Downey also looked curiously at Melody Fox.
Melody Fox’s lips curved into a smile. She did not stop moving her hands as she said, “Do you know a person called Fu Jie? I learned my culinary skills from him.”
Dorrene Downey shook his head in confusion. However, Zara Wentworth’s pupils dilated as he asked in shock, What?! The person who taught you cooking is called Fu Jie?” Melody Fox nodded. “That’s right.”
Back then, Fu Jie was seriously ill and went to her master for treatment. Her master did not accept any money, but in exchange, he asked him to stay and cook for three months. He also wanted to teach her how to cook.
In order to survive, Fu Jie agreed immediately, and his master had indeed cured his illness.
His master’s original intention was to improve her culinary skills so that he could eat delicious food every day. He did not expect this skill to be even more useful after leaving the countryside.
“But didn’t Fu Jie say long ago that their family has a family rule that they can only pass on their culinary skills to the Fu family’s descendants?”
It was not that Zara Wentworth did not believe Melody Fox, but Fu Jie was too famous in Halcyon.
Although she had not heard from him since he fell sick, she had heard of the Fu family’s rules.
Melody Fox’s surname was Fox, and it had nothing to do with the Fu family.
Melody Fox said meaningfully, “In the face of death, any family rules are useless.”
“What does that mean?”
Melody Fox shrugged. “You don’t have to know that. Just take it as a joke.”
The more Dorrene Downey listened, the more confused she became. She pulled Zara Wentworth and asked, “Zara, is this Fu Jie very powerful?”
“He’s more than amazing. He can be said to be our Halcyon’ s best chef. His ancestors cooked imperial meals for the royal family. When it spread to Fu Jie’s generation, it could be said that the Halcyon’s eight major cuisines were brought to greater heights. I heard that he only served Fox national banquets to Halcyon. Those so-called Michelin- born chefs could only serve coffee to him.”
“So amazing? No wonder Miss Fox’s pasta filling is so delicious!”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’ve already wrapped up most of the 100 servings of pasta tomorrow. Let Momma Talia do the rest. You guys have been busy for the entire day. Hurry up and go back to rest. Remember to bring a few packets of pasta back to freeze. You can eat when you’re hungry tonight.”
Zara Wentworth and Dorrene Downey nodded repeatedly. Okay, okay, okay!”
Having tasted the pasta, they wished they could eat Melody Fox’s cooking three times a day.
Just as Zara Wentworth was about to bring pasta back, her phone suddenly rang.
She looked at the caller ID and a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.
It was actually Thomas Bush, the manager that the company had recently changed for her.
Didn’t they say that she had no schedule before the variety show started? Why would Thomas Bush, who didn’t like to talk to her, suddenly look for her?
Perturbed, Zara Wentworth pressed the answer button. “Hello, Thomas?”
The other party snorted and said sarcastically, “Thomas?! can’t afford to be called brother by you!”
Zara Wentworth had a bad feeling.
“Thomas, don’t joke with me. Did something happen?”
“So you really don’t know?”
Zara Wentworth lowered herself as much as possible and said carefully, “Please tell me clearly that I’m stupid.”
“You’re indeed stupid! Go online and take a look yourself! It’ s all your fault. The entire Internet is scolding you now. After reading it, hurry up and go back to the company!”
Thomas Bush was furious and hung up the phone.
“Thomas, calm down.”
Yana Norangel happened to walk behind Thomas Bush’s office door. He took a few steps forward and massaged Thomas Bush’s shoulders before slowly massaging his temples.
Only then did Thomas Bush feel a little better. He gritted his teeth and said, “This idiot. She’s already not popular with the passersby, but she still has to cause trouble for me at this juncture! In the past, she was not under my control. Why is she as stupid as she is now? Now that I’ ve just taken over her, she’s already caused such a scene. What will others think of me? Won’t they still think that it’s all my fault?”
Yana Norangel quickly comforted him. “Thomas, you’re thinking too much. Others definitely won’t think that way. You’re already a veteran agent. No one will blame you if something happens to a newbie who just took off this year.” Thomas Bush took a deep breath and said, “No matter what, I’ve already arranged a press conference for her. When she comes over later to discuss the details, we’ll hold a press conference and ask her to apologize!”
“Apologize?” Yana Norangel pretended to be surprised and asked, “Isn’t that the same as admitting to the dirt on the Internet?”
Thomas Bush massaged his temples and said, “Of course, we won’t admit to the dirt. What I asked her to apologize for is that she took on a job on her own and stood up for a medical center’s platform pasta. Damn, she’s really degrading!”
The more Thomas Bush thought about it, the angrier he became. His temples started throbbing again.
Seeing this, Yana Norangel took the opportunity to ask,” Thomas… If she suddenly causes such a thing, will she be unable to appear on the variety show that starts filming next month?”
“I don’t know yet,” Thomas Bush said with his eyes closed. We’ll have to see how things develop in the future. If everyone doesn’t buy it and continues to scold her, there’s a high chance that we’ll have to replace her.”
Thomas Bush suddenly looked at Yana Norangel and said, ” This has nothing to do with you, right?”
