Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 756, 757, 758, 759, and 760)

Chapter 756

When the elevator door slowly closed, everyone inside and outside the elevator heaved a sigh of relief.

Of course, only Melody Fox was relieved.

Ken Swanson was born in the center of the vortex, so he was naturally used to being sized up by others and had automatically blocked it.

But Melody Fox was different.

Although everyone was secretly sizing her up, she still acutely felt it.

In the past, it was because of her appearance that she was used to it. But now, it was because of a kind of… intimacy that had yet to be revealed, so she felt uncomfortable from head to toe.

Ken Swanson could tell that she was uneasy. He said apologetically, “Their gazes made you uncomfortable, right?”

“Well…”

“When your identity is officially announced, there will only be more people sizing you up, but… I’m sorry, I can’t do anything about this for the time being.”

After getting to know Melody Fox, he found the title of Young Master of the Swanson Group even more annoying. However, the only thing he could do now was to hold her hand tightly when she felt uncomfortable in the future. Melody Fox smiled and said, “What’s there to be sorry about? If I can’t even withstand this little pressure, I won’t be Melody Fox anymore. It’s just that my identity has just changed and I haven’t gotten used to it yet. But don’t worry, I’ll get used to it soon.”

When Ken Swanson heard this, his heart immediately warmed.

He reached out to hug Melody Fox’s waist again.

Coincidentally, the elevator door reached the first floor and opened automatically.

A voice came from outside. Melody Fox was so shocked that she pushed Ken Swanson’s hand away and quickly walked out of the elevator.

Ken Swanson was left standing alone in the elevator.

Why didn’t this show any signs of “I’ll get used to it soon”?

He shook his head helplessly and followed Melody Fox’s footsteps under the cheers of “Mr. Swanson”.

Melody Fox only relaxed completely when she returned to the car.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t been the Swanson family’s daughter-in-law before, but this time, as long as she thought about it-

Soon, everyone would know that she was Ken Swanson’s wife. She was so nervous that her heart was racing.

Was it because she felt that she was not strong enough… Because even though she felt guilty, so she was so nervous that others would know about her relationship with Ken Swanson?

Melody Fox secretly clenched the two fists in her sleeves, determined to become stronger.

This thought was not only for revenge but also for her own life.

The car drove straight to the hospital where Sid Quant was.

Melody Fox remembered that before Ken Swanson entered the elevator, he said that he needed her help with something. After closing the door, she asked curiously, “What do you need my help with?”

“Regarding Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong…” Ken Swanson went straight to the point. “These two people betrayed Ulric Swanson because I had something on them. They took the initiative to stand beside me. But now, as soon as Ulric Swanson returned, the two of them immediately turned against me. I feel that something is wrong.”

Melody Fox thought about it carefully and asked, “Do you think this matter might be related to malicious doctors?” “That’s right.” Ken Swanson nodded.

When James Deeds, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, heard that Melody Fox had guessed the answer that he had been guessing for a long time, he could not help but feel depressed.

The young master did not need to say much to Miss Fox. Miss Fox understood almost immediately. In this aspect, he was really far inferior.

James Deeds was secretly vexed. Melody Fox continued to analyze, “The most taboo thing in the business world is to be fence-sitters. It’s impossible for Ulric Swanson not to understand this principle. The reason why he was willing to accept these two people must have a reason why they would never dare to betray him again. Then the reason… can only be that their lives are in his hands.”

“Yes, and I don’t think such a thing will only happen to Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong. In order to prevent my hard work over the past few days from going to waste, I’m afraid only you can help me resolve it.”

“Between Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong, who is more afraid of death?”

Ken Swanson looked up at James Deeds.

James Deeds had more contact with them. After sensing Ken Swanson’s gaze, James Deeds quickly recalled and replied, “Xiang Jianxiong. Don’t think that this guy’s name is quite domineering. He’s actually very timid.”

“Alright, send me a copy of his information.”

“Yes, Miss Fox.”

Just as the car was about to reach the hospital, Melody Fox suddenly remembered something.

“By the way, there’s something I didn’t have time to tell you.

Melody Fox took out her bag and took out a raw jade stone. Ken Swanson raised an eyebrow. “Where did that come from? I remember that you don’t like things like jewelry.”

Melody Fox shrugged and said, “I don’t like these worldly possessions. Your father gave them to me.”

“Old man?” Ken Swanson narrowed his eyes and asked, “Did he ask you to leave me again?”

“Not this time. Instead, it’s as if he approves of me. He gave me this gift just to make me shut my mouth and not mention anything related to Wendell’s death.”

“Heh.” Ken Swanson lowered his eyes and sneered. “This is indeed something he can do. He has been keeping me and Ulric Swanson in check, trying to maintain a balanced relationship with Ulric Swanson because only when I’m evenly matched with Ulric Swanson can he act as if he can’t choose who to be the heir.

In his opinion, I was clearly at a disadvantage compared to Ulric Swanson. Therefore, he didn’t want me to marry the Fox family’s daughter. Because the Fox family couldn’t give me any help, he tried to break us up.

“But now, the person at a disadvantage is Ulric Swanson. Naturally, he likes you, his ‘unhelpful daughter-in-law.” Melody Fox nodded and shook her head.

“I know this logic. Although he’s getting older, he doesn’t want to be suppressed by his two sons so early. His mentality is exactly the same as the ancient emperors. He’s afraid that the two of you will ‘usurp the throne’. But… that’s not what I want to express.”

“And that is?”

Coincidentally, the car stopped in the hospital’s parking lot.

“Come down with me.”

Melody got out of the car with the raw jade stone. Ken Swanson hurriedly followed behind.

James Deeds was also very curious about what Melody Fox wanted to say.

However, when he quickly parked the car and walked towards Melody, He saw Melody Fox raise the jadeite stone that was worth hundreds of millions and smash it heavily to the ground.

“Ah-this!”

James Deeds’s eyes widened in shock. He subconsciously blurted out, “Miss Fox, you wasted 20 million dollars! Oh no, with this size and color, it’s more than enough to exchange for 40 million dollars!”

James Deeds was angry that Melody Fox did not know what was good for her. At the same time, he turned around and wanted to snitch on Ken Swanson.

However, just as he reached Ken Swanson, he was pushed away by him.

“Young Master?

He looked at Ken Swanson aggrievedly, only to see Ken Swanson squatting by the jadeite rubble,

“What’s this?”

Ken Swanson asked as he stared intently at the ground.

James Deeds looked over curiously and saw a white worm that looked like a maggot lying beside the gravel.

Chapter 757

However, there was a clear difference between this worm and a typical worm.

On the top of the invertebrate animal’s head was a tuft of fur that looked like a human eye. As the wind blew, that eye seemed to blink, making one’s back feel cold.

Goosebumps immediately appeared on James Deeds’s arm.

“Young, Young Master, what kind of insect is this? Where did it come from…? Disgusting! Young Master, get away from this thing!”

Ken Swanson did not move. He only heard Melody laugh and say with a smile, “Haven’t you reacted yet? It jumped out from the 40 million dollars that you’ve been thinking about.”

James Deeds was shocked and looked up at Melody.

“You said this worm fell out of a raw jade stone?”

Melody Fox nodded and said, “This is not an ordinary insect. This insect is a Centipede. It will only come back to life after feeling the appropriate temperature.”

“But… no matter if it’s a Centipede or a Ten Thousand Zombies, how can a worm burrow into a stone? And it’s from something rare like a raw jade stone…”

The hardness of the jade was seven, which was not low. How did such a soft worm get in?

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if this worm was artificially put in, why would a person put a worm into a jade raw stone worth ten thousand gold coins?

Could it be…

When James Deeds thought of this possibility, his expression immediately turned extremely ugly.

Melody noticed James Deeds’s expression and asked, “Tell me what you think. Let’s brainstorm together. Why is the Centipede here?”

James Deeds immediately voiced his thoughts.

“This raw jade stone was given to you by the chairman.

The chairman has never liked you before. He might have given you this gift to deliberately disgust you with this worm…”

James Deeds started to regret halfway through his sentence.

After all, the chairman was the young master’s biological father. It felt treasonous to speak ill of him.

He was a little annoyed that he did not consider whether he could speak first. He timidly looked at Ken Swanson’s expression.

Seeing that Ken Swanson was not angry, he was relieved.

Melody Fox asked Ken Swanson, “What about you? Are you thinking the same as James Deeds? Is Ramon Swanson going to use the Centipede Bug to deal with me?”

After a moment of silence, Ken Swanson asked, “I’ve heard of the name Centipede before, but I don’t know what harm it can do?”

“The Centipede likes warmth the most, and the temperature of the human body is the most suitable temperature for it to grow. If you make it into jewelry and wear it close to your body, the poison it carries will slowly invade your internal organs through the jade. In less than three months, this person will die suddenly.”

Ken Swanson frowned.

James Deeds was even more shocked.

“So the chairman isn’t trying to disgust Miss Fox. Is he trying to kill Miss Fox without anyone knowing?”

He looked at Ken Swanson and asked. Ken Swanson shook his head and looked at Melody Fox. “I don’t think the old man is someone who would do such a thing. What do you think?”

Melody Fox agreed with Ken Swanson.

“I also think that he didn’t put this Centipede in there to kill me. He doesn’t know that I’m skilled at all. He even has more than ten bodyguards you arranged in the dark. If he wanted to kill me, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort. I think he doesn’t know that there’s a Centipede in there at all.”

Ken Swanson nodded.

“That’s right. I’ve never seen this raw jade stone before, which means that he brought it back on this business trip. Perhaps it was a freak combination of factors, or perhaps someone deliberately arranged it, but in the end, the Centipede worm ended up in his hands in this way and then in yours.”

Melody Fox narrowed her eyes and said, “Whether the Centipede is after your father or whether it accidentally landed in his hands, we’ll know after checking the source.” Hearing this, Ken Swanson turned around and instructed James Deeds, “Send someone to the place where the old man went on a business trip to investigate what kind of jade raw stone this was and how it came into his hands.”

“Yes!”

James Deeds immediately made a call to arrange for someone to go.

A few minutes later, James Deeds ran back and said, “Young Master, everything has been arranged. I’ve called Yuan Ge, who is the best at gathering information in the Black Market.”

“Yeah.”

Melody Fox let out a long sigh and said, “Recently, there has been wave after wave. Only the Miaojiang people know how to raise the Centipede. If your father or I really provoked the Miaojiang people, I’m afraid we have to be careful in the future.”

“Miaojiang?” Ken Swanson frowned deeply. “Other than the Miaojiang people, is there no other possibility?”

“That’s right. The Centipede Worm is a strange species mixed with hundreds of poisonous insects. It’s also an insect egg. It’s abnormally fragile and easy to die. It needs to be nurtured with the blood of the Miaojiang people. Moreover, the process of raising it is extremely complicated. Other than the Miaojiang people, outsiders don’t know the exact method of raising it. It’s impossible to raise it into a worm.”

“No wonder you said that only the Miao people know how to raise them.”

Melody Fox took a deep breath and said, “Let’s not worry about this for now. We’ll wait for your people to send us a piece of accurate news. What if it accidentally fell into your father’s hands?”

“Yes, let’s not think too much about it. Let’s go take a look at Sid Quant first.”

“Okay.”

They walked side by side into the hospital.

Melody Fox inadvertently looked up and saw that the plaque of the hospital had changed from “Shinin Hospital to Halcyonmodern Medicine College Affiliated First Hospital”.

“Why did the hospital suddenly change its name?”

James Deeds, who was following behind, explained, “After Adrian Russo confessed to his crime, this hospital was confiscated by the government. Now, it’s under the government’s control and is specially used to nurture new talents in the medical field. Now, many patients with minor illnesses have been transferred to other hospitals. Only some critically ill patients who can’t be transferred for the time being have yet to be transferred.”

Melody Fox nodded, “Lennon Russo probably never expected that he would die at the hands of his own son. Even the hospital was destroyed by Adrian Russo.”

James Deeds shrugged. “It’s not anyone’s fault. If he had corrected and disciplined Adrian Russo in time when he was younger things wouldn’t have turned out like this.

“That’s why there’s a saying that goes, ‘If a son isn’t raised by his father, he’ll make a mistake.”

The two of them chatted and soon arrived at Sid Quant’s room.

This morning, he had already been transferred from the ICU to a normal single ward. When Melody and the others pushed open the door and entered, they heard Sebastian Quant say to Sid Quant earnestly, “You’re not young anymore. After this incident, you can’t be as sloppy as before.”

“Dad, do you want me to stay away from Brother Ken and go back with you to inherit the family assets?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Your father can still hold on for a few more years at my age. After this incident, I already know that there’s no harm in you following Ken Swanson. Instead, you can temper your temper.”

“Then what do you mean by that?”

“How stupid! You have to make it clear to me! I mean, I want you to quickly find a decent woman to get married and have children. You don’t have to worry about the family business for the time being. You can do whatever you want, but you have to quickly give birth to a fat grandson for me!”

Chapter 758

Sid Quant’s face immediately darkened.

“No way? I just woke up and my body hasn’t recovered yet. How can I give birth to a fat boy for you? Besides, I don’t have a girlfriend now. Who can give birth to one for you? Seriously…”

“You brat… Who asked you to give birth now? I’m talking about after you recover! In short, you can’t find any random women in the future. The next one must be your marriage partner. I don’t care about the other party’s family background. The important is she’s innocent. It’s fine as long as she can control you.”

“Then you should just give up. It’s impossible for me to marry someone who dares to control me.”

“Are you trying to anger me to death?!”

Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel, Ken Swanson hurriedly knocked on the door.

“Uncle Qiao, we’re here to see Sid Quant.”

Only then did Sebastian Quant and Sid Quant notice the three people standing at the door.

Sebastian Quant immediately stood up and put on a smile. “What time did you arrive? Why didn’t you say anything? I’ve made a fool of myself…”

Ken Swanson shook his head. “It’s nothing. Sid Quant really needs someone to take care of him.”

Sebastian Quant nodded.

“Your father is so worrisome. One of his two sons has a fiancée, and the other is married. Alright, alright, I won’t disturb you guys anymore. I’ll go and ask about the transfer. You guys chat.”

Melody Fox and Fox walked forward and said, “Uncle Qiao, I’ll go with you. I can give you some advice.”

“Oh… I remember now. You’re still a doctor at Central Hospital, right?”

“Yes, I know First Hospital too. Let’s see what you choose.”

“Alright, let’s go to the doctor’s office and ask.”

After the two of them left, Sid Quant frowned and asked, “Brother Ken, why are you still speaking up for him? You also know that I’m not in the state of getting married at all. Of course, it’s not that I’m not interested in women. I’m interested in all women, but I’m not interested in marriage.”

As they were chatting, James Deeds suddenly thought of something when he heard Sid Quant’s words. His face instantly turned pale.

Sid Quant could clearly feel that James Deeds’s gaze on him had become complicated. He immediately frowned and asked, “James Deeds, what do you mean by that gaze? Did something happen?”

James Deeds shook his head evasively. “N-nothing…”

Sid Quant narrowed his eyes.

“James Deeds, you’re exposing yourself here. Hurry up and tell me what you’re hiding from me. Otherwise, when I recover, I’ll beat you to death!”

James Deeds shuddered and looked at Ken Swanson for help.

Ken Swanson, on the other hand, acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

Helpless, James Deeds could only tell the truth.

“Th-this is what happened… Miss Fox used a special acupuncture technique to treat you so that you wouldn’t be brought to Insterimond.

“And then?” The more Sid Quant listened, the more he had a bad feeling.

“Well…”

James Deeds gritted his teeth and looked at Ken Swanson, but Ken Swanson directly turned his face away. He could only brace himself and continue.

“Miss Fox said that the acupuncture technique had a side effect.”

When Sid Quant heard that it was just a side effect, his anxious heart immediately calmed down.

“Side effects? I thought you were hiding some shocking secret from me. Tell me, what side effects?”

James Deeds swallowed hard and said in the most euphemistic way he could think of, “The side effect is… it will dampen your… interest in that aspect.”

“In that aspect?” Sid Quant could not react in time. He asked in confusion, “In what aspect? Can you be more specific?”

“It’s…” James Deeds did not know how to describe it. Even his face was flushed red.

Ken Swanson lost his patience and spat out the word- “Desire.”

Sid Quant was stunned. Then, his eyes widened.

Two seconds later, Sid Quant’s hoarse voice came from the ward-

“Fox! Miao!!!”

Melody Fox, who was in the office handling the transfer procedures for Sid Quant, paused and turned to ask Sebastian Quant, “Uncle Qiao, did you hear anything?” “No…”

“Then maybe I misheard.” Melody Fox rubbed her ears and said to the new attending doctor, “With these materials, you can directly transfer to another hospital, right?”

“Yes. If the two of you need it, I can inform the ambulance from the opposing hospital to pick up the patient right now.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble you.” Melody Fox looked at Sebastian Quant and said, “Why don’t we get an ambulance? It’s easy to hurt Sid’s wound if he takes a private car.”

“I don’t know anything about this. I’ll listen to your arrangements.”

“Alright, it’s settled then. Doctor, please inform Central Hospital.”

“Okay, Miss Fox.”

The doctor quickly contacted Central Hospital. Out of convenience, Melody Fox asked Rodney Stanton to arrange for Sid Quant to be on the floor of the ward he was in charge of.

When everything was ready, the two of them returned to the ward.

However, before the two of them could reach the ward, they heard the screams of Sid Quant.

“What’s going on?” Sebastian Quant hurriedly quickened his pace. Melody Fox followed closely behind.

However, before she could enter the ward, she almost bumped into Ken Swanson.

“Don’t go in yet,” Ken Swanson said. “He probably doesn’t want to see you right now.”

Seeing Ken Swanson’s complicated expression, Melody Fox instantly understood, but he still said, “It’s better for me to explain to him.”

Ken Swanson hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not stop her. He only said, “Then I’ll go in with you.” “Yeah.”

Ken Swanson held her hand and the two of them walked into the ward. They saw Sid Quant saying to Sebastian Quant with an ugly expression, I’m fine. I’m just in a bad mood. Let me talk to Melody Fox.

“Uncle Qiao.” Melody Fox took a few steps forward and said, “Let me have a chat with him.”

Sebastian Quant nodded and left the ward.

He was a little confused. Why was this kid suddenly angry at his savior?

However, he still had to arrange the staffing after transferring to another hospital, so he could only leave for the time being.

After Sebastian Quant left, Melody Fox was about to speak. but Sid Quant was the first to question, “Melody Fox! What did you do to me?!”

If not for the fact that he could not get out of bed on his own, he would have strangled Melody Fox to death.

As a romantic young master, if he didn’t have the ability to do that, what kind of young master was he? He wasn’t even a man!

Melody Fox said calmly. “Don’t you know? I can’t wait either. Otherwise, you will definitely die on the way to Insterimond.”

“I might as well be dead!”

Ken Swanson glanced coldly at Sid Quant.

“You better take that back.”

Sid Quant choked and did not dare to spout nonsense anymore. He could only try his best to fake a smile and say, “Melody, take it that I’m begging you. Help me treat this sequela! Otherwise, I’ll really go crazy!”

Chapter 759

Sid Quant’s heart was filled with indignation, but his tone was almost humble.

Melody Fox said helplessly, “It’s not that I don’t want to treat you, but this side effect… You can only rely on your body’s functions to slowly recover.”

“Are you saying that I might be impotent for the rest of my life?!” Sid Quant looked as if he had seen a ghost.

“That’s not what I meant.” Melody Fox quickly shook her head and said, “This will definitely not last forever, but I can’t say for sure how exactly it will recover to its own course. But don’t worry, I can promise you that when you meet the girl you really like, it will definitely recover.”

“Sincerely…like? What does that mean? Can’t I just put on a show?”

“If you can’t control the string in your heart by putting on an act, it naturally won’t recover so easily. However, it’s hard to say…

“What exactly is it that you’re so sure about?” Sid Quant could not help but feel apologetic.

Ken Swanson narrowed his eyes.

“Don’t be so long-winded. It just so happens that I’m in this current situation. It’s not a good thing to fool around with women outside all the time. I can take this opportunity to quit!”

Sid Quant retorted unhappily, “I’m not always fooling around with women… I’ve been single ever since I returned to the country. I’ve been very obedient, okay? Besides, although I have many girlfriends overseas, I only date one at a time. I’ve never dated more than one woman, okay?”

Melody Fox wanted to roll her eyes when she heard this scumbag’s words.

Ken Swanson also revealed a look of disdain.

“Cut the crap. After you’re transferred to another hospital, take good care of your body. When you’re discharged from the hospital, the new X series products can be arranged to be put on the market. After resting for a few more days, you can start working online.”

“No way? I haven’t been discharged from the hospital yet. Have you assigned all the work to me?”

“Any objections?”

“…No.”

The new series of products was not only Ken Swanson’s hard work, but also his pride and joy.

How could he be absent from their listing?

Unfortunately… Jane, who had also participated in the core technology production, would probably not appear at the press conference.

Thinking of Janet Murphy, Sid Quant could not help but ask curiously, “Where is Janet Murphy now?”

Melody Fox was also curious about Janet Murphy’s current state. She heard Ken Swanson say, “Yesterday, in Insterimond the Murphy family used their power to get her out of the police station. Uncle Qiao doesn’t know about this yet. If he knew, I’m afraid he would cause a scene with the Murphy family.”

As Ken Swanson spoke, he paused and asked, “What do you think about her? If you want revenge, I won’t stop you.” Sid Quant shook his head. “I don’t want to get involved in the mess between the Jian and Qiao families. Let the older generation make their own trouble.”

The Old Murphy family and Old Quant family were both top- notch dignitaries in Insterimond. There were many conflicts between their interests. The relationship between the two families was originally like fire and water.

However, in Sid Quant’s generation, because they went to school together, their relationship became closer.

Now that Sid Quant was almost killed by Janet Murphy, the smoke between the Qiao and Jian families would definitely rise again.

“Alright, if there’s anything you need help with, just ask in the future.”

Sid Quant’s lips curved into a smile. “If I really needed your help, even if you didn’t say this, I would have looked for you myself.”

“Alright, then we’ll leave first. Send me the ward number after you transfer to the hospital. We’ll come and see you tomorrow.”

“I know. Hurry up and get back to work. I probably won’t die.”

Even so, Melody still forcibly took Sid Quant’s pulse before they left.

A moment later, she said, “You still have to continue taking the high blood pressure medicine. You can’t stop.”

“Got it, Doctor Fox.”

Sid Quant retracted his hand in embarrassment. He felt extremely embarrassed.

He was a young man with high blood pressure. If word got out, he would really be laughed at.

As expected, when he looked up, he saw James Deeds trying his best to hold back his laughter.

He glared at him and said, “Brother Ken, leave quickly. I’m tired!”

He was mentally exhausted!

“Alright, let’s go.” Ken Swanson took Melody Fox’s hand and the two of them walked out side by side.

Sid Quant was keenly aware of this action. He felt both surprised and reasonable.

Melody was indeed… a little ugly, but her charisma was admirable even for someone like him who had been through a lot.

For a while, he was even attracted to Melody Fox’s charisma.

However, this was all in the past. After dying once, any relationship between a man and a woman was not as important as living well in his eyes.

‘But…’

Sid Quant lowered his head and looked at the middle of his legs. Frustration and humiliation wrapped around his heart again.

A few seconds later, he gritted his teeth and decided to test if he really couldn’t make it.

Perhaps this side effect had disappeared long before he woke up?

Thinking of this possibility, Sid Quant hurriedly instructed the bodyguards outside to not let anyone into the ward, including Sebastian Quant. Then, he silently opened the movie he had downloaded previously on his phone… After sometime.

Sid Quant smashed the phone to the ground in frustration. He really… couldn’t do anything that a man could do! Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!

On the other side, on the way back to the Manor of the Swanson family, Melody was resting with her eyes closed when Ken Swanson suddenly broke the silence.

“Sid Quant is indeed a playboy with many girlfriends around him. Losing interest in that aspect is indeed a blow to him. However… I think I still have to explain it to you. The reason why he became like this is because he was hurt by his first love.”

Sid Quant was not interested in such personal matters. The reason why he took the initiative to mention it was because he was afraid that Melody Fox would think that birds of a feather flocked together and misunderstand that he was a scumbag like Sid Quant.

Melody had no idea about Sid Quant’s personal feelings. In her previous life, when she heard the name Sid Quant, who died from a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. When she heard Ken Swanson say “first love,” she was slightly stunned. She remembered Nana Jensen saying that Ken Swanson’s first love was the girl called Mango. A complicated expression appeared in her eyes as she tried her best to maintain her calm expression. She followed Ken Swanson’s words and asked, “How did his first love hurt him?”

“How should I put it… The girl he dated didn’t know his family background. In order to get a household registration in Insterimond, she cheated and lied to Sid. She was already engaged when she started dating Sid Quant. Speaking of which, it’s funny. That person is an ordinary employee of Quant Group.”

“It’s really… quite melodramatic.”

“Yes, the viewership ratings might not be low if it was filmed into a television drama. Anyway… After that, he became like this. He never easily gave his heart to girls.” “But being hurt doesn’t mean that you can legitimately hurt other girls. How innocent are those girls who were hurt by him?”

She didn’t have any sympathy for scumbags, no matter how good the other party’s reason was, even if the other party was Sid Quant, scum was scum.

Chapter 760

When Ken Swanson saw Melody Fox’s expression turn ugly, he quickly expressed his attitude.

“You’re right. The person who hurt him was his first love. If anyone wants revenge, he should do it to his first love, not to any other girl. I’ Il talk about him the next time we meet.”

Melody nodded, not really wanting to continue the topic of “first love”.

At the mention of this topic, she would always think of Ulric Swanson and… Ken Swanson’s first love, Mango.

She wondered what kind of person Mango was.

Just as the car was about to reach the Manor of the Swanson family, James Deeds suddenly received a call.

“Alright, got it. Send it directly to Young Master’s email.”

James Deeds hung up as he spoke.

“What is it?” Ken Swanson asked.

“Young Master, I’ve found out about Xiang Jianxiong and the other two. They were arrested by Ulric Swanson’s people at 8 pm last night. The people we sent to investigate reported to me that other than Xiang Jianxiong and the other two, four others were also captured by Ulric Swanson’s private manor. I’ll send you the list after confirming it.”

“It’s said that after these people stayed in Ulric Swanson’s manor for about half a year, Fox came out. Their expressions seemed to be very strange. You can check the surveillance footage in your email first…”

As James Deeds spoke, Ken Swanson had already opened the surveillance camera in his email.

Surveillance footage showed six people, including Xiang Jianxiong, being forcibly taken into Ulric Swanson’s private estate in the night.

Fox Hou, who was waiting for these six people to come out, looked unscathed, but each of his expressions was worse than the last.

“Xiang Jianxiong, Shi Luo…”

He quickly confirmed the identities of the six people.

“What?!” James Deeds was shocked as well. He asked, “Shi Luo betrayed us too?”

“Mm.” Ken Swanson’s expression turned extremely cold.

Melody Fox asked in confusion, “Shilo is…?”

Ken Swanson took a deep breath and said, “Shi Luo is different from Xiang Jianxiong and the others. He has always been neutral. He’s not biased towards Ulric Swanson or me. He’s already the Swanson Group’s elder. He’s also one of the talents that the Swanson Group truly relied on his own ability to slowly rise to the top from the grassroots.”

Only then did Melody Fox understand why Ken Swanson’s expression was so ugly after knowing that Shi Luo had also sided with Ulric Swanson.

She clenched her fists and said, “A neutral person like him would not easily choose to take sides unless he had no choice. Our guess is right. Ulric Swanson must have used Jennie Taylor’s malicious doctors’s skill to threaten them with death.”

“Yes, this matter has to be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise… in less than a month, the entire upper echelons of the Swanson Group might be his people.”

“Don’t worry, I can still handle Jennie Taylor’s tricks,” Melody Fox said. She looked up at James Deeds in the driver’s seat and said, “Send me the information on Xiang Jianxiong, the most timid guy, as soon as possible. I’ll find an opportunity to start the operation tomorrow.”

“Yes!”

Coincidentally, the car arrived at the Manor of the Swanson family.

Coincidentally, Ramon Swanson had also arrived home. When the dishes were served, Melody realized that Astrid Swanson did not go downstairs.

It was unknown if it was because Astrid Swanson felt embarrassed about being grounded and did not want to go downstairs to eat, or if it was for some other reason.

However, Astrid Swanson did not go downstairs for dinner. No one at the dining table mentioned her, including Ulric Swanson, her biological son.

“Melody, eat more.” It was obvious that Margaret did not take the fact that Astrid Swanson did not come downstairs for dinner to heart. She affectionately picked up a big drumstick for her.

“Thank you, Grandma…” Melody quickly thanked her.

“There’s no need to thank me. Eat more. You’re too thin. You can nourish your body better with more nutrition. I’m looking forward to you giving birth to a fat great-grandson for me to play with! Oh, it doesn’t matter if it’s a girl. It’s not bad to be as sensible and cute as Cindy.”

Melody’s face was slightly red. Just as she was thinking about how to make Margaret give up on the idea of having a great-grandson, she heard Ramon Swanson suddenly say, “You’ve been registered for a while. Are you planning to hold a wedding soon?”

Margaret slapped her head.

“Look at my brain! You guys haven’t had a wedding yet! I almost forgot about this…”

Melody quickly said, “It doesn’t matter if I don’t hold a wedding. I don’t have any obsession with weddings.”

In her previous life, she had also yearned for a wedding. However, after experiencing a wedding, she realized how tiring it was.

Moreover, when she was the only person who cared about her wedding, she had to do everything herself. After a day of the wedding, she felt that she was almost useless.

She didn’t want to do such a painful thing again.

Therefore, even though she had already opened her heart to Ken Swanson, she still had a deep resistance to the wedding.

However, Ken Swanson disagreed.

“If you marry me, how can I not give you a wedding?” As he spoke, he looked up at Margaret and said, “Grandma, why don’t you find a master to help us count the days one day? You know more about this.”

Melody Fox was about to reject her again when she saw Ken Swanson’s eyes shining. It was obvious that he was looking forward to their wedding.

She had no choice but to swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Since Ken Swanson wanted to hold a wedding with her so badly… she could only brace herself.

Ken Swanson had done so much for her. It was just a wedding. She was still willing to suffer.

Seeing that Melody Fox had tacitly agreed, Margaret Swanson said happily, “Of course, leave the date to me! Coincidentally, I haven’t seen Melody’s grandmother in a long time. I’ll discuss this with her.”

At the mention of Maria Fox, and Melody Fox, it felt like a lifetime had passed.

Ever since Yolanda Fox went to prison, her grandmother had gone to the countryside. She had called her many times, but her grandmother refused to answer every time. In addition, she had been too busy recently and had not tried to call her for a long time.

It had been so long. She wondered if Grandma was feeling better.

Perhaps, she needed to find time to look for her grandmother personally.

After dinner, Ramon Swanson called Ken Swanson to the study. No one knew what they were talking about.

Melody Fox was about to return to their room to prepare for Xiang Jianxiong’s matter when she suddenly received a message from Aaron Berg.

“Miss Fox, James Deeds and I have something to report to you.”

Seeing the message, Melody Fox rolled her eyes twice and replied, “Let’s talk in the car.”

“Yes.”

After receiving the reply, Melody Fox quickly walked towards the parking lot.

However, just as she reached the door, she bumped into Ulric Swanson.

“Sister-in-law, where are you going?”

Melody Fox said calmly, “I left something in the car… But I don’t have to report to you where I’m going, right?”

“Of course not. As your younger brother, I’m just concerned about you. When the wedding date is set, remember to tell me so that I can prepare a big gift for you in advance.”

Melody Fox met Ulric Swanson’s gaze coldly.

He still had the same warm smile on his face as in his previous life. Any girl would be moved by it.

However, she did not know if her mental state had changed, but looking at Ulric Swanson’s face now, she would only feel endless disgust.
