Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 751, 752, 753, 754, and 755)

Chapter 751

The money in the Dorrene Downey card was actually only enough for the mother and daughter to live their daily lives.

However, for the sake of his daughter’s safety, she was willing to give them her life, let alone money.

Dorrene Downey said, “I don’t have that much money in my card, but I can give you the password to the card, as long as you can let my daughter go.”

“Cut the crap! Tell me the password!”

“The password is… Cindy’s birthday.”

Soon, the villagers found all Dorrene Downey cards.

One of the women immediately took out her card to check her balance.

As soon as she returned, everyone immediately went forward and asked, “How much is it?”

“Only twenty thousand dollars…”

The woman said angrily, “She must have hidden money in another card.”

The butcher flew into a rage out of humiliation. He reached out and slapped Dorrene Downey’s face again.

With a crisp sound, Dorrene Downey’s face swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Dorrene Downey covered her face in pain and said, “I didn’t hide the card. This is all our money.”

“B*tch, how dare you lie? Looks like I have to teach you a lesson today before you know how much eyes Lord Ma has.”

Granny Wang said fiercely as her gaze landed on a fruit knife on the table.

She took a few steps forward and grabbed the fruit knife. Then, she walked in front of Dorrene Downey and pressed the back of the knife against her face.

“I’ll give you one last chance. Are you going to tell me or not? Where did you put all your money?! If you don’t tell me, I’ll cut your face and then your daughter’s face.”

“No!! I beg you… I’m really not lying to you. I don’t have any money anymore. This is all my money.”

“Damn it, you still dare to be stubborn when you’re about to die. I’ll show you my strength!”

As Granny Wang spoke, she tightened her grip on the fruit knife in her hand. The sharp edge of the fruit knife was about to cut through Dorrene Downey’s face…

A seemingly slender hand suddenly grabbed Granny Wang’s wrist.

Grandma Wang subconsciously wanted to break free from the grip of that hand, but what she did not expect was that no matter how hard she tried, she could not break free from this hand.

“Damn it, who is it?!”

Grandma Wang flew into a rage out of humiliation. She turned her head and looked up at the hand. She saw an extremely ugly woman barge in.

“Who are you?”

Granny Wong Fox became vigilant, but Dorrene Downey, who was behind Granny Wong, revealed an extremely surprised expression.

“Melody? Why are you here?!”

Melody waved the phone in her hand and said, “You left your phone in my car.”

“Godmother!” Cindy’s eyes lit up. She knew that her godmother would definitely be able to save them.

Granny Wang and the others also understood that this ugly woman was Dorrene Downey’s friend.

“Hmph!”

Granny Wang snorted coldly and said, “Don’t think that she can save you. She can forget about leaving this place today!”

Granny Wang struggled to break free from Melody Fox’s grip. She turned around and ordered the butcher and the other villagers, “Teach this ugly monster a lesson!”

“We’re on it.”

The butcher did not put Melody Fox in his eyes at all. In his opinion, even ten Melody Foxs could not defeat him. He did not need anyone’s help at all.

In order to show off in front of Granny Wang and get more money when they returned to the village, the butcher was the first to bear the brunt. He clenched his fists and pounced at Melody Fox.

Melody stood rooted to the ground as if she was waiting for the punch to land on her face.

“Melody, be careful!” Dorrene Downey warned loudly.

Melody was still as still as a mountain. Just as the butcher’s fist was less than five centimeters away from her face, she suddenly appeared behind the butcher in a flash.

“What?!”

The person in front of him suddenly disappeared into thin air, catching the butcher off guard. By the time he reacted, Melody was already standing behind him, and her fist had already smashed heavily into his face.

“Ah!!”

The butcher’s vision turned black as he fell to the ground and fainted.

“What? How is this possible?”

Everyone looked at each other. Firstly, they could not believe that Melody could move so quickly. Secondly, they never expected that a butcher who was a mountain bandit would lose to such a weak little girl.

Granny Wang stomped her feet in anger.

“What are you all waiting for? Attack!”

However, the villagers hesitated. They were afraid that they would end up like the butcher.

When Grandma Wang saw that no one dared to attack, she was so angry that she cursed, “Useless thing.” Then, she tightened her grip on the fruit knife in her hand and rushed towards Melody Fox.

Melody Fox narrowed her eyes coldly and kicked the fruit knife in Granny Wang’s hand to the corner of the wall.

Granny Wang was shocked. Before she could pick up the fruit knife, Melody kicked her hard in the stomach again.

“Ah!”

Granny Wang clutched her stomach with a pale face and kept retreating.

However, there was no pity in Melody Fox’s eyes. She struck Granny Wong’s neck heavily with a karate chop. Granny Wong’s vision turned black and she fainted like the butcher.

When the others saw this, they knew that none of them would be a match for Melody Fox. They all ran out.

However, they soon realized that there were two tall men standing at the door. They looked even more difficult to deal with than Melody Fox.

“Spencer, Aaron Berg, tie all of them up,” Melody Fox ordered coldly.

“Yes, Miss Fox, the two answered in unison.

Everyone subconsciously wanted to escape, but how could they be a match for these two Death Warriors?

In less than two minutes, the villagers were tied up.

Melody Fox glanced at the wound on Dorrene Downey’s face. In order to ease her mood, she deliberately said, “Now, there’s another piece of evidence to sue for divorce.”

Dorrene Downey wanted to laugh, but she could not. She hugged Cindy tightly and said with red eyes, “Melody, I really don’t know what I would have done without you. Thank you, thank you…”

Melody Fox shook her head and said, “Sister Dongling, you’re being too polite. Mr. Wallrich entrusted you to me, so I naturally have to protect you. By the way, how do you plan to deal with this group of people?”

Dorrene Downey was silent for a moment before saying, “Just call the police. I don’t want to have anything to do with them anymore.”

Melody Fox nodded and said, “We can also apply for a habeas corpus. This way, the police officers who are not around will protect you.”

Soon, the police arrived.

The police officer in the lead was from Ken Swanson. He was also in charge of Robert Downey last time.

The two of them met face to face. After knowing the situation, the police officer’s eyes were filled with disgust.

“What kind of family is this? Do they really not share the same family?”

Melody Fox shrugged and said, “Sorry to trouble you this time.”

“It’s nothing. It’s what I should do.”

Soon, Granny Wang and the others were taken away by the police. The villagers who came for money regretted their actions,

Melody Fox comforted Dorrene Downey and her daughter for a while. After promising her that she would settle the divorce lawyer as soon as possible, she got into the car again and headed to the Swanson Group headquarters.

Chapter 752

On the way, Melody Fox called Ken Swanson again, but as expected, no one picked up.

She couldn’t tell what she was feeling at that moment, but her tightly knitted brows never relaxed along the way.

After half an hour, the car stopped at the entrance of the Swanson Group headquarters.

Due to the previous incident with the receptionist, Melody Fox went upstairs especially smoothly this time. The new receptionist wished she could bring her up personally.

Soon, Melody Fox reached the top floor and happened to meet James Deeds who was walking towards her.

“Miss Fox, why are you here?” James Deeds’s eyes were filled with surprise.

Without waiting for Melody to speak, James Deeds pulled her to an empty corner and asked in a low voice, “Miss Fox, what exactly did you do to the young master?”

Melody frowned.

“What do you mean, do what?”

James Deeds had a “don’t hide it from me” expression on his face as he said, “Since yesterday, something has been wrong with the young master. It’s as if someone owes him 80 billion. Especially today, an assistant accidentally made an unimportant mistake and was fired by the young master. Now, the entire company is silent out of fear. No one dares to bump into the young master.”

Hearing this, Melody Fox’s frown deepened.

“What do you mean? Why are you still blaming me when he’s in a bad mood? I was going to ask him what’s wrong.”

James Deeds was skeptical. “You really didn’t quarrel with the young master?”

“I didn’t!”

She wanted to quarrel, but Ken did not even give her a chance to speak. How could she quarrel with him?

“That’s strange… Other than you, there doesn’t seem to be anyone else who can make Young Master lose control of his emotions.”

“You’re overestimating me. How can I have the ability?” “But…”

Melody did not want to continue this baffling topic, so she directly interrupted James Deeds and asked, “Where’s Ken Swanson? I have something important to discuss with him.”

“Young Master is in a meeting, but I think the meeting is about to end…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was opened, and messy footsteps approached.

“It should be the end of Young Master and the others. Miss Fox, why are you looking for Young Master…”

Before he could finish speaking, Melody had already walked towards the conference room.

As expected, the person who led the way out of the meeting room was Ken Swanson.

He seemed to be very haggard.

He, who had always been meticulous to the point of his sleeves, actually had a layer of green stubble on his face, adding a more attractive temperament.

However, as his “pure roommate”, Melody knew very well that he did not shave probably because he had not entered the bedroom for the past two days.

On the other side, Ken Swanson was telling his subordinates about the project they were working on.

“It’s not just the contractors. We have to check everyone from top to bottom, including the supervisors. It’s best if we can change a group of people.” “Yes!”

“Also, the previous one…”

As Ken Swanson spoke, he suddenly saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

His eyelids twitched. For a moment, he thought he was hallucinating.

When he looked up again, Melody had already taken a few steps forward to welcome him.

“Mr. Swanson, I have something to discuss with you.” Melody tried her best to act as if she had something important to discuss.

Ken Swanson covered his nose and coughed lightly. “Go to the lounge and wait for me. I’ll come over when I’m done.”

However, Melody did not want to be brushed off just like that.

‘Finished with your work?’

Who knew what time it would be when he was done?

Melody took a deep breath and said, “It’s alright. I can follow you. When you’re done with what you’re doing, I’ll tell you.”

The others stared at Melody Fox in shock, their eyes filled with surprise.

There were even people who started praying for Melody’s sake.

Everyone in the company knew that Ken was in a bad mood. No one was allowed to enter. What was wrong with this woman? Had she eaten a bear’s heart or leopard’s gall?

She was dead meat…

However, under everyone’s sympathetic and expectant gazes, Ken Swanson turned to them and said, “You guys go ahead. I’ll come over after I’m done.”

Everyone widened their eyes in shock.

‘What’s the situation?’

Mr. Swanson actually didn’t get angry at this woman?

Who exactly was she?

“…Yes.”

The few of them left with their own thoughts.

When they met James Deeds at a junction, They quickly pulled James Deeds and asked, “Mr. Deeds, where did that woman come from? Mr. Swanson, why…”

“Shh!” James Deeds made a shushing gesture and pretended to be serious. “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask!”

After this warning, everyone was even more curious about Melody Fox’s identity.

Just after the group of people left, in a corner that no one noticed, one of them returned and took a photo of where Melody Fox was.

Melody Fox, who was captured on camera, did not notice.

She frowned and said, “I do have a serious matter to discuss with you, but I also have a private matter to discuss. Do you want me to talk about it here or somewhere else?”

Ken Swanson’s expression was so ugly that it was as if he had just been swept by a storm.

What should come, no matter how he dodged, would it still come?

Since he couldn’t avoid it, he might as well make it clear at once.

He would never agree to a divorce so easily! Unless she fell in love with another man, he would never let her go.

He would not accept any other reason!

“Come to my office!”

As he spoke, he took the lead and walked towards the office.

Melody Fox took a deep breath and quickly followed.

She had just been to Ken Swanson’s office two days ago, but her mood was completely different.

However, she really did not understand why he hated Dorrene Downey so much and wanted to stop her from getting a divorce.

Soon, James Deeds served each of them a glass of coffee before quickly leaving.

However, before he left, he passed by Melody Fox’s Fox and said in a low voice, “Madam, you have to talk to the young master. What kind of life we have in the office will depend on you.”

Melody Fox was about to speak when James Deeds had already walked behind the door. He considerately closed the door for them and stood guard at the door to ensure that no one would come over to eavesdrop.

Ken Swanson took a sip of coffee and said with difficulty, “What business do you have with me?”

It was a serious matter and a private matter. He would rather get down to business first.

Melody Fox didn’t waste time and directly talked about Zara Wentworth’s press conference.

“Now, pasta’s popularity has completely increased, but we still need a reasonable reason to turn it into a commodity and not a freebie.”

Ken Swanson tried his best to suppress his personal emotions and said rationally, “Indeed, pasta’s main focus was on giving away at the beginning. Suddenly, it became frozen food. Consumers might not be able to accept it so easily…”

He thought for a moment and said, “Alright, let the Swanson Group come forward and say that he bought your pasta formula. This way, you won’t have to work so hard to make pasta in the future.”

“I can, but I wonder if it will have any negative impact on the Swanson Group?”

Chapter 753

“Your question is not only because you don’t trust the Swanson Group, but also because you’re not confident in your own pasta. Don’t worry, consumers will only be happy. In the future, you won’t have to queue up to receive your pasta before dawn. Instead, you can eat whatever Fox you want.”

Hearing this, Melody Fox was relieved.

“However, I have to apologize to Yana Norangel for causing you to lose such an artiste.”

Ken Swanson couldn’t even remember Yana Norangel’s face.

He tried his best to recall. Only then did he remember that this woman had once been sad about Zara Wentworth and Melody Fox on set.

“If such a person stays in Swanson Universal Entertainment, she will only be a time bomb. I have to thank you for helping us remove this cancer.”

Ken Swanson’s tone was very polite, so polite that it was almost humble.

However, in Melody Fox’s eyes, he felt even more guilty.

“That’s all. I still need you to get a project manager for the details and let him handle the big and small matters of the project landing.”

“Yes, the candidate has been decided. How about this? I’ll call him over to see you now. You two can talk about the details first.”

Ken Swanson stood up and was about to leave.

God knew how much he did not want to continue chatting with Melody.

However, no matter how much he hoped that Melody would not mention private matters, private matters still came.

Just as he was about to reach the door, Melody suddenly stood up and quickly blocked the office door handle.

“There’s no hurry. I can look for him later. Let’s talk about our private matters first.”

What should come, you can’t hide no matter what.

Ken Swanson closed his eyes and opened it again. His eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, making it impossible to see what he was feeling at the moment.

“Do you think-“

His voice was hoarse when he said those two words.

When Melody Fox saw Ken Swanson like this, most of the anger in her heart had already dissipated.

She did not want to ask him about Dorrene Downey’s case in harsh words.

After all, compared to Dorrene Downey, Ken Swanson was her “comrade” who had risked his life with her many times.

She just wanted an answer.

She was not a saint. As long as the answer Ken Swanson gave her was reasonable, she could ignore Dorrene Downey’s divorce case and stand firmly on Ken Swanson’s side.

Melody Fox took a deep breath and said, “You’ve been elusive for the past two days. Are you deliberately avoiding me?”

“I…—”

“You don’t have to deny it. I’ve already found out for myself that the person behind those law firms is you. You were the one who asked them not to take my case. But I just want to know why? Why did you do this? And you’re so ruthless… No matter how big or small the law firms are, none of them are willing to talk to me.”

Ken Swanson knew that he could not hide it.

He subconsciously reached for the cigarette box in his pocket.

However, after touching it twice, he realized that there was no cigarette in his pocket.

Ever since Melody Fox expressed that she didn’t want him to smoke, he didn’t touch it much.

After a fruitless search, Ken Swanson smiled bitterly and gave up.

He met Melody Fox’s gaze with obvious pain in his eyes.

“You’re asking me why… Do you really not know the reason?”

Melody Fox frowned, and her eyes became even more confused.

How did she know why Ken Swanson wanted to stop Dorrene Downey from getting a divorce?

“If I knew the reason, why would I specially ask you?”

She had long thought of a way to solve the problem, not to seek out the reason that she already knew.

Hearing this, Ken Swanson’s eyes clearly flashed with shock.

“You don’t know? How is that possible?”

“What’s impossible?” Melody Fox felt that she was not on the same channel as Ken Swanson, but she could not tell what went wrong.

“Alright.” Ken Swanson nodded. He suddenly grabbed her shoulder and said, “If you don’t know, I’ll tell you!”

His grip on her shoulder was a little heavy. Melody Fox subconsciously frowned, but she endured the pain and said, “Tell me.”

Ken Swanson smiled bitterly again and said, “Of course, I stopped those law firms from working with you because… I don’t want this divorce case to go smoothly.”

“You… What’s the difference between saying it and not saying it? What I want to know is why you don’t want the divorce to succeed?”

Ken Swanson was even more injured.

“Do you really want a divorce that badly?”

“Of course!”

Ken Swanson clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red.

“Do you hate me that much?”

Melody Fox was stunned. She was a little confused. He subconsciously asked, “Why do I hate you? I don’t hate you.”

Even though she knew that the person behind this was Ken Swanson, she had never hated him even though she was angry.

In fact, she had long thought that he must have his reasons.

But what did Ken Swanson mean by this question?

The next second, Ken Swanson spoke again, “Since you don’t hate me, why can’t you give me a chance? Why do you want to divorce me through a lawsuit?”

“Boom-“

A loud bang suddenly sounded outside the window. Lightning flashed and raindrops fell, just like Melody Fox’s current mood.

The answers that she could not think of were all answered because of Ken Swanson’s words.

They had all misunderstood each other’s intentions!

Ken Swanson had never wanted to stop Dorrene Downey from getting a divorce, but he did not want to divorce her! Melody Fox’s heart was beating uncontrollably fast.

The depression and grievances she had felt for the past few days were swept away in an instant.

At this moment, Melody Fox finally realized that she could not escape.

-in his palm.

She thought that she could control her emotions very well, but if feelings could be controlled by a person, what was the difference between a person and a robot?

Wasn’t the biggest difference between humans and machines that they had emotional feelings?

Melody Fox took a deep breath and used her unprecedented courage in relationships to meet Ken Swanson’s gaze.

“Who said… I’m divorcing you?”

Ken Swanson was stunned.

“What do you mean by that? If you don’t want to divorce me, why are you looking for a law firm? You even deliberately found a lawyer who specializes in divorce cases”

“Ken Swanson”

“Yes?”

“You really are an idiot!”

“Haven’t you ever thought that I’m finding a lawyer for someone else?”

Ken Swanson’s eyelids trembled slightly before his eyes widened,

“You’re looking for a lawyer for someone else?”

“Of course! I found the best divorce lawyer to help Dorrene Downey successfully divorce her bastard husband, Robert Downey,”

Silence.

There was dead silence.

Ken Swanson seemed to have been turned off. He stood rooted to the ground and looked at Melody Fox in disbelief.

‘So…

The worry and anger of the past few days, as well as the feeling of being cut by a knife, were all self-directed and acted by him?

Wasn’t he… too ridiculous?

However, compared to being embarrassed, he was more glad and excited.

It took him a while to find his voice.

“So…

Chapter 754

Ken Swanson looked at Melody Fox and confirmed, “You really didn’t go to a law firm to divorce me?”

Melody Fox felt helpless and amused.

Patiently, she repeated, “Didn’t I tell you? I went to find the lawyer for Dorrene Downey.”

After receiving an affirmative answer from Melody Fox, Ken Swanson could no longer suppress his emotions and pulled her into his arms.

Melody Fox’s body stiffened. She subconsciously wanted to push Ken Swanson away.

However, for some reason, her body seemed to have suddenly lost control. The hand that she had pushed away actually lost its strength.

Right at that moment, Ken Swanson’s voice came from above.

“I’m sorry…”

Melody Fox could clearly feel the tremor in his chest.

“It’s alright…” Melody Fox completely gave up the struggle in her heart. She lowered her eyes and said, “It’s just a misunderstanding. Just explain it clearly. I will hide the reason from Dorrene Downey…”

“It has nothing to do with Dorrene Downey.”

“Hmm? Then your apology is…?”

Ken Swanson slowly loosened his grip on her. He looked straight at her and said, “I’ve deliberately avoided you for the past two days and made you feel uncomfortable.”

Melody Fox shook her head. “It’s fine. You’re in a bad mood too, aren’t you?”

“Then…”

Ken Swanson’s throat moved up and down. He mustered his courage and said, “Can you promise me one thing?”

“Tell me.”

Ken Swanson took a deep breath and said, “Before you have someone you like, don’t divorce me, okay?”

The inferiority in his eyes was obvious.

She had never seen such a Ken Swanson before.

In her impression, he had always been the high and mighty Mr. Ken Swanson. It always made her feel that she could only dream of him.

But now, he was humbly begging her not to get a divorce.

It would be a lie to say that she was not moved.

Moreover, after this incident, she realized that she had long crossed the hurdle of feelings in her heart.

She thought that she no longer had the ability to love someone wholeheartedly. She was also afraid of being hurt again, so when faced with Ken Swanson’s confession, she pretended that Fox did not accept it.

But today, she realized that she had actually crossed this hurdle long ago.

Moreover, as the two of them had gone through life and death together many times, her feelings for Ken Swanson were deeper than her feelings for Ulric Swanson in her previous life.

Hence, she was willing to take another gamble!

Even if it might be worse than her previous life and covered in wounds, she was willing to use all her courage to walk towards him!

Melody Fox’s gaze became more and more determined.

She looked deeply at Ken Swanson and nodded hard. “I promise you, but the prerequisite needs to be changed.” “Yes?”

“The premise is not that I have someone I like, but… before you fall in love with someone else.”

“W-What do you mean?”

It was probably too sudden for Ken Swanson to react in time. What Melody Fox meant was: I won’t divorce you until you like someone else.

As long as he still liked her, she would always be with him!

“Don’t you understand? When did your brain become so stupid?” Melody Fox glared at Ken Swanson.

She had finally mustered up the courage to say this, but this stupid person actually did not understand!

Ken Swanson’s eyes widened in surprise.

“If you still don’t understand, I’m leaving,” she said and was about to walk out.

However, she had only taken one step when she was pulled back by Ken Swanson.

Melody Fox’s body fell into Ken Swanson’s arms due to inertia.

Before she could regain her balance, Ken Swanson’s thin lips landed heavily on hers. The overwhelming kiss came with scorching heat, resolute love, and intense excitement…

All sorts of emotions were mixed into the passionate kiss.

The surrounding air seemed to emit the fresh fragrance of bellflowers.

And the flower language of the bellflower was: eternal and unrepentant love.

This was not the first time he had kissed her.

However, at the class reunion, the fake kiss was just a one-sided kiss.

But this time, Melody Fox finally mustered up the courage to respond.

Sensing Melody Fox’s response, Ken Swanson’s blood seemed to boil. He wished he could swallow her up.

After an unknown period of time, as long as a century, Ken Swanson finally let her go.

Melody Fox panted. She could not breathe as she leaned weakly in Ken Swanson’s arms.

Ken Swanson lowered his eyes and smiled. His heart was filled with satisfaction.

The two of them steadied their breathing. Ken Swanson was the first to break the silence. He hugged her and said, “I promise you that you will be the only woman in my life.” Melody Fox had mixed feelings.

“Don’t say such things. A lifetime is too long. I only fight for every day.”

In the end, her view of love had changed because of Ulric Swanson.

She did not care how long she could be with Ken Swanson. She only cared that they were in love now.

Ken Swanson frowned.

“What else you can tell me? Who made you become like this? At your age, you shouldn’t be like this…”

He could not see any hope for the future in her eyes.

Melody Fox looked away and said, “I don’t really want to talk about this right now.”

“It’s fine. Tell me when you want to tell me one day. I’m all ears.”

As Ken Swanson spoke, he kissed Melody Fox again.

Melody Fox quickly pushed him away and said, “Don’t forget that this is an office!”

“So what?”

It was not easy for him to kiss her openly. Who dared to interfere?

However, just as this thought appeared, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

The two of them looked at the door and saw James Deeds panting as he said, “Young Master, bad news…”

As soon as he finished speaking, he instinctively felt the coldness emanating from Ken Swanson.

He subconsciously shivered, but when he thought of the urgency of the situation, he could only brace himself and continue.

“Director Fei and Director Xiang have betrayed us again.” These two people had betrayed Ken Swanson after Ulric Swanson was brought to the police station. However, not long after Ulric Swanson was released, they actually stood on Ulric Swanson’s side again.

Melody Fox immediately knew that it was a company matter. She quickly said to Ken Swanson, “You guys chat. I’ll go look for the project manager you arranged for me.

Where is he?”

“I’ll get someone to take you there.”

Ken Swanson pressed the internal line and called his assistant.

“Take Miss Fox to Manager Jiang He.”

“Yes.” The assistant did not doubt him and gestured for Melody Fox to go ahead.

Melody Fox was about to follow when she heard Ken Swanson call out to her, “Melody, wait a minute.”

“Yes?”

“Come back to me when you’re done talking. We’ll go see Sid Quant together. He’s awake today.”

“Alright.” Melody Fox nodded and left the office.

James Deeds could clearly feel that something was wrong with the two of them.

These two people… their gazes could even pull silk, okay?

So they were officially together?

However, even if James Deeds had a hundred guts, he would not dare to ask Ken Swanson about his private matters so directly. He might as well pretend that he did not discover anything.

Ken Swanson asked, “What did Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong do?”

Chapter 755

James Deeds focused his attention and said, “This afternoon is the deadline for these two people to submit the project data, but they haven’t come to me. I went to rush them just now. In the end, these two people started to act dumb and said that the project data was confidential. Other than them, without the chairman’s approval, we can’t easily give the data to anyone.”

James Deeds became angrier as he spoke.

When “Ulric Swanson, was in jail, these two people knelt on the ground in tears and begged you to leave them a bite to eat. They even vowed to collect all the data and submit it to you. Now, they changed their words so quickly. It’s obvious that they regretted it when they saw Ulric Swanson return! They’re really fence-sitters!”

“A person like them can use Ulric Swanson for themselves. Do you think they can use it with peace of mind?!”

James Deeds cursed for a long time, but he realized that Ken Swanson did not react at all. He only looked at the scenery outside the French window with his back facing him.

James Deeds hesitated for a moment. He took a few steps forward and asked tentatively, “Young Master? Did you hear what I just said?”

Ken Swanson glanced sideways as a response. James Deeds quickly said, “Then why aren’t you reacting? Why don’t we fire these two guys now?”

Ken Swanson glanced at James Deeds as if he was looking at an idiot.

“The old man is back. Do you think I still have the final say in the headquarters?”

James Deeds’s back stiffened. He scolded himself for being brainless. How could he have forgotten that the chairman was back?

Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong were both directors of the company. Although they didn’t have much shares, since the chairman was back, they couldn’t chase him out without asking the chairman.

Moreover, according to the headquarters’ rules and regulations, they indeed did not have the authority to view those data.

As a result, they had no valid reason to expel Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong from the Swanson Group.

James Deeds scratched his head in frustration.

After a while, he asked Ken Swanson with a bitter expression, “Young Master, what do you think we should do?

Seeing that we were about to obtain the data, we could use the data to find out who was secretly colluding with Ulric Swanson. We could use this opportunity to completely exclude Ulric Swanson’s people from the headquarters.

“However, at this critical juncture, Ulric Swanson returned. All our plans have been disrupted… How are we going to get the data again?”

“What’s the rush?” Ken Swanson glanced at him and said, “Compared to that pile of data, you should think about how Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong were persuaded by Ulric Swanson.”

“Young Master… I don’t think he needs to think about this question, right? He was originally with Ulric Swanson. When he saw that Ulric Swanson was fine, he definitely turned back…”

After James Deeds finished speaking, he began to feel that something was wrong.

According to Ulric Swanson’s personality, it was absolutely impossible for him to keep such a fence-sitting person by his side.

Moreover, in order not to let them know about the data, what he should do was to make Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong disappear from this world, not keep them around.

What’s more, Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong had cried in front of the young master back then because they had found evidence that they had accepted bribes. In order to continue working in the company, they had been bold enough to betray him.

Now that the evidence was still there, weren’t they afraid that they would bring this matter up again?

“Something doesn’t seem right…”

Ken Swanson gave James Deeds a look that said, “You’ve finally reacted.” He said calmly, “Go and find out who Fox reconnected with Ulric Swanson. Find out what happened during the process. Otherwise… something like this might happen again in the future.”

Ulric Swanson had been in jail for the past few days. He had subdued many Ulric Swanson people.

It was nothing for Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong to betray them. If the others were also pulled back by Ulric Swanson, it would be a waste of effort.

Although James Deeds’s reaction was slow, he quickly understood this logic. He immediately said, “I’ll investigate now!”

“Yes, the necessary for the next few days. Let the black market assist you.”

“Yes!”

James Deeds quickly went to investigate Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong.

Ken Swanson did not stay idle either. He sped up the process of the office matters and went to the location of the meeting just now to inspect the project. Only then did he barely complete today’s work and return to the Swanson Group to pick up Melody.

Melody Fox had a long chat with the project manager, Jiang He, and had almost finalized the details.

Jiang He was serious and responsible, and his style was very similar to Zack Nelson’s, which was why Melody Fox left the rest to him without worry.

Just as she was about to leave, Jiang He suddenly spoke again, “Oh, right, Miss Fox. I wonder if you’ve thought about the name of the instant food product? I think you’re the most qualified to make suggestions and name it.”

Melody Fox asked in shock, “Isn’t it the Swanson Group’s name? Why do you still need a name?”

Jiang He explained with a smile, “That’s a brand logo. Food needs a new name that fits the product’s name.”

Melody thought for a moment and said, “pasta was started at Herbathrive. Why don’t we call it… Myriad Taste Hall?”

Jiang He’s eyes lit up.

“Myriad Taste Hall? Good name! And when it grows bigger in the future, it’ll be easier to write brand stories. Why don’t we settle on that?”

“Alright, if you have something better, you can use yours too. I can do both.”

“Alright.” Jiang He exchanged contact details with her and said courteously, “Take care, then. Contact me if you need anything from Fox.”

“Yeah.”

Melody Fox waved goodbye to Jiang He and was about to call to ask where Ken Swanson was when she saw him leaning against the wall across the corridor, quietly looking at her.

Melody Fox asked in surprise, “How long have you been waiting here? Are you done?”

“I just finished my work. Not long ago.”

Melody Fox grunted. Just as she was about to speak, she lowered her head and saw cigarette butts all over the ground. Clearly, Ken Swanson’s “not long ago” was not real.

She pointed at the cigarette butt and asked, “You’re saying that it hasn’t been long?”

Ken Swanson was helpless. He held her waist and said as they walked towards the elevator, “There’s something I might need your help with.”

“Yes? What is it?”

Ken Swanson was about to speak when the elevator door opened.

It was crowded with employees leaving work.

Ken Swanson kept quiet, but he did not let go of Melody Fox’s waist.

Melody Fox subconsciously wanted to struggle, but he realized that Ken Swanson’s hand had tightened.

Helpless, she could only force herself to remain calm.

When the people in the elevator saw Ken Swanson at the door, they immediately retreated from the elevator.

“Mr. Swanson, you go first…”

Everyone tried to curry favor as they secretly sized up Melody Fox from the corner of their eyes.

The last time Melody Fox came to the company and asked the receptionist to resign because of her, Fox, her identity caused a wave of speculation, but in the end, it was decided that she was a “relative sister”.

However, when they saw Ken Swanson holding Melody Fox’s waist today, they finally felt that something was wrong.

However, when she saw Melody Fox’s face, the guess in her heart was suppressed.

Before anyone could figure it out, the two of them had already entered the elevator.
