Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 811, 812, 813, 814, and 815)

Chapter 811

Every detail of her experience with her master suddenly appeared clearly in her mind at this moment.

When she was a little young girl, her body was weak. Her master studied medicine all day long and vowed to change her physique. Because of this, she almost exhausted her body.

Later on, she went up the mountain to pick herbs. She was playful and went far away. She only returned home when it was dark. She did not expect her master to be so worried that he fell seriously ill…

There were so many such things that she could not count them all.

However, she had always known that her master was the best master in the world!

Other than her mother in the sky, her master must be the person who wanted her to be happy the most.

However, after today’s pulse check, she could clearly feel that all the organs in her master’s body were in a state of aging.

In layman’s terms, his master was old.

A sour feeling stimulated her eyes from her nose, and her eyes turned even redder.

Although she did not grow up on her parents’ side, because of her master, she felt more love than other children.

After her rebirth, Melody had always felt that she was on an island and that she needed to fight alone. But now, it seemed that she had never been alone.

She had a master! And now, there was still Ken Swanson, Colin Herbert… Wait…, there are actually so many people who love her.

She would definitely live a good life and experience the world happily.

Colin Herbert saw her red eyes and patted her shoulder comfortingly.

Melody rubbed her eyes and asked Colin Herbert, “Then what should I do now to make the two people who care about me get along?”

Colin Herbert smiled and said, “You don’t have to do anything. You have to believe in your master’s judgment. If Ken Swanson is really worthy of you entrusting your life to him, your master will definitely accept him. He might even love him.”

Of course, there was another possibility that Colin Herbert did not mention. That was, if Quentin Parker still did not accept Ken Swanson, it meant that this person might not be suitable for Melody.

However, after several interactions with Ken Swanson, he was still confident in Ken Swanson.

Melody nodded seriously. “I understand.”

“Yes. By the way…” Colin Herbert mentioned dinner. “Did your master mention the dinner tonight?”

“A little, but I don’t know the time or the location yet.”

“If it’s about the time, you can just come with us. The venue is at Fragrance Overflow Hotel. You can ask Ken Swanson if he has time to join the celebration. He’s very welcome to come.”

“Okay, I’ll ask him later.”

Coincidentally, a group of patients with food poisoning arrived in Herbathrive.

Melody Fox and Colin Herbert immediately ignored everything else and went to treat the patient.

However, they were busy until past four o’clock. Only then did Melody have the time to call Ken Swanson.

The call was picked up as soon as it was dialed.

“Melody? Are you done?”

The sun was about to set, and the red sunset covered most of the sky.

Ken Swanson stood at the entrance of a private manor filled with roses and gestured for the group of people in front of him to keep quiet.

When Melody heard Ken Swanson’s voice, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief in her heart. The fatigue from before was swept away.

“Yes, I just finished a wave of work at the clinic. Are you done?”

“I’m almost done here.”

“So where are you now?”

“At…” Ken Swanson’s gaze swept across the rose garden in front of him. He said without blushing, “A construction site in the suburbs. I’m preparing to go home. Shall I come and pick you up?”

“No need, no need. If you don’t have any plans, why don’t you have dinner with my godparents tonight? It’s just that there might be a lot of people around at that time. They want to use this opportunity to officially acknowledge me as their goddaughter.”

Ken Swanson replied without hesitation, “Okay, give me the address. I’ll go directly from the construction site.”

“Hotel Fragrance.”

“Sure, it’ll take me about 40 minutes to get there.”

“Then you can leave at five. I still need some time left. All the employees of Herbathrive will be there. We need to close the shop early and come over. We’ll meet at the entrance of our restaurant.”

“Okay.”

After the call ended, Melody made a few more calls. The Colin Herbert couple was very concerned about this meal, so she took it very seriously and called a few close friends to be witnesses.

It also includes Ander Morgan couples, Mason Taylor couples, Zara Wentworth, Wilmot Sherman, and so on.

However, because Zara Wentworth and Wilmot Sherman were both working overseas, she was not sure how many people could arrive at the end.

However, one thing was certain. She would not inform her former father, who had already cut ties with her.

In the blink of an eye, the sun had completely set.

After Herbathrive sent off the last patient, they all packed up and headed to Fragrance Overflow Hotel.

Fragrance Overflow Restaurant was an old five-star restaurant in Silverlake. It had more than a hundred years of history, so the architectural style still had the charm of the last century.

Melody and Beverly Herbert, as well as Nana Jensen, who had specially rushed to Herbathrive, were in the same car.

When they got out of the car. Beverly Herbert was a little embarrassed as she said, “Other than calling Herbathrive and everyone else, your godfather also invited a lot of people. I suddenly feel a little nervous…”

Melody Fox smiled and comforted her. “There’s nothing to be nervous about. Actually, it’s just a gathering of our own good friends for a meal.”

Beverly Herbert nodded, but she still asked again, “Melody, Nana, help me take a look and see if my hair is messy.”

“It’s not messy, it’s beautiful!” Nana Jensen smiled as she pulled Beverly Herbert out of the car.

After entering the hotel, Beverly Herbert calmed down.

There were already some guests in the hotel. She greeted them one by one and stood at the door to welcome them with Colin Herbert.

“Then, Godfather, Godmother, I’ll go in and accompany the guests first. Call me when Ken Swanson comes.”

“Alright, go ahead!” Colin Herbert waved his hand. He turned around and met Quentin Parker’s gaze.

Quentin was still wearing Mu Zi’s mask.

Even though this was not the first time Colin Herbert had seen Quentin Parker, he still could not hide the excitement in his heart.

He tried his best to pretend to be calm as he nodded at Mu Zi, who was walking over.

“Doctor Mu is here. Melody is already inside. We’ve booked the second floor. The entire second floor is ours.”

“Okay.”

Quentin Parker nodded and nodded at Beverly Herbert before striding in.

Beverly Herbert’s gaze followed Quentin Parker as he left. She waited until Quentin Parker entered the elevator before asking Colin Herbert.

“Why did you suddenly hire a doctor for the clinic? And you two seem to be very familiar with each other… I’ve never seen this person before.”

IF Quentin Parker’s matter was too involved. Colin Herbert did not dare to tell Beverly Herbert the truth. He only said; that Doctor Mu was originally a barefoot doctor in the countryside. I met him when I went into the mountains to gather herbs. His character and medical skills are not bad.”

Beverly Herbert did not doubt him, but she could not help but mutter strangely.

“But why do I feel like you’re treating him like an ancestor? You’re looking at him the same way you looked at your master in the past. Unlike you, who’s Herbathrive’s boss, he’s more like Herbathrive’s boss.”

Chapter 812

“Moreover, he’s clearly younger than us but he looks at us like he’s an old man in his sixties or seventies. It’s as if he has long seen through the mortal world and treats us as juniors.”

Colin Herbert thought to himself, “Isn’t he, our ancestor? Moreover, he’s almost 60 years old. He’s just looking like a young man because of the mask.”

What’s more, this person could be considered to be a man of his word in the world of Halcyon traditional medicine. Everyone who learned traditional medicine treated him as a god. It was that person’s blessing to be able to call him ancestor in front of him!

However, Colin Herbert did not dare to say it out loud.

He chuckled and said, “I’m a person who cherishes talents! Moreover, those who are really capable have a big head. You’ll get used to it.”

Beverly Herbert disagreed.

“Melody is also very capable. I don’t think she has any airs. Only you stinky men like to put on airs!”

Colin Herbert was innocently implicated and repeatedly coaxed his wife.

“Yes, yes, yes.! We men are not good people…”

Meanwhile, Melody had already arrived on the second floor of the hotel.

On the second floor was a banquet hall. There were more than ten dining tables, and each table had a small festive gift.

Melody immediately saw Ruby Taylor sitting at one of the tables with a strange expression.

“Ruby?”

….

Melody walked over and observed her expression. “What’s wrong? You don’t look well. Are you feeling unwell?”

As she spoke, she was about to take Ruby Taylor’s pulse.

Ruby retracted her hand and smiled. “I’m fine! I’m just a little afraid of society. It’s a little uncomfortable sitting alone.”

Melody nodded, but she could not ignore the complicated expression hidden in Ruby’s eyes.

What’s wrong with Ruby?

However, she was unwilling to say it, so Melody could not ask. She could only follow her words and say, “Then I’ll accompany you more. When Nana Jensen comes up later, I’ll get her to share a table. She’s a talkative person. She definitely won’t let you have an awkward silence.”

“That’s good. But there are so many guests. Don’t just focus on me. I’m afraid it’s not that serious.”

“Alright.” Melody nodded. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Quentin Parker coming out of the elevator.

Oh no, she should be called Doctor Mu.

“Alright, you don’t have to worry about me. Go entertain others. I’m going to the toilet.”

“Yes, yes. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me immediately.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Ruby said as if she did not dare to look her in the eye. She quickly stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Melody felt even stranger as she watched Ruby Taylor escape.

Ruby, what was going on?

She wasn’t like this before. Moreover, as the wife of Mason Taylor, she attended all kinds of high-end cocktail parties all year round. She wasn’t someone who was supposed to be afraid of society at all…

However, “Doctor Mu” was already in front of her. She had no time to think about Ruby Taylor.

When Ruby finally arrived at the bathroom, She opened the cubicle and tears flowed uncontrollably.

They were tears of guilt.

She was already prone to emotional fluctuations because of progestogens and often wanted to cry. Now, she wanted to cry even more.

“Melody… I’m sorry…”

She apologized silently, her mind recalling what had happened before.

An hour ago…

When Ruby, received Melody’s invitation via call, she was also very happy for Melody Fox. She immediately decided to go back and change into a beautiful set of clothes for the dinner.

She sincerely wished Melody well on the phone, then said apologetically, “Only I can come. You know Mason’s situation. He can’t get out of bed yet.”

“Yes, yes, I understand. If it’s inconvenient for you to not come over, that’s fine too. We’ll have a meal alone another day.”

“That won’t do. I definitely have to come. Let’s meet at the Hotel.”

“Good!”

After the call ended, Ruby put away her phone and returned to the ward.

However, the moment the door opened, her eyes widened in shock.

She saw Mason, who had a shattered right foot, walking leisurely from the bathroom to the hospital bed. His footsteps were steady. Other than the cast that made him look a little clumsy, he looked no different from an uninjured person.

But clearly… it was impossible for his legs to have the strength and ability to walk!

When Mason heard her voice, he subconsciously turned to look at the door.

When Mason saw Ruby’s shocked eyes, his eyes suddenly widened.

It took him a while to find his voice.

“Honey, let me explain…”

Ruby finally recovered from her shock.

She took a few steps forward and pointed at Mason’s foot. She questioned coldly, “What’s wrong with your foot? If it’s a comminuted fracture. Why can you walk so easily and naturally? Mason, did you have a woman behind my back?!”

“No, no, I didn’t!” Mason grabbed Ruby’s trembling hand in anger and helplessly told her what had happened.

After listening to what Mason recounted, Ruby’s mind went blank for a long time before she reacted.

“You’re saying that you can’t help Melody buy the Green Velvet, so you deliberately pretended to have a fracture? So you can have a good excuse?”

Mason lowered his head. There was no lack of shame in his eyes.

“I have no other choice…”

“Bullsh*t! How can you not be able to buy your herbs? Do you know why Melody wanted to buy the Green Velvet, it’s to detoxify herself? Her face became like that because she was poisoned. How important is her face to a girl? Why are you telling me that you can’t buy the Green Velvet now?”

Mason gritted his teeth and said, “Honey, you’ve really misunderstood me. Miss Fox has done us such a huge favor. How can I not want to help her? It’s just that… our father has already decided who to sell the Green Velvet to in the auction. No matter how high the price Miss Fox offers, the other party will bid higher than her and get the Green Velvet without paying a single cent…”

Ruby’s anger slowly dissipated, and her rationality finally returned.

“Are you saying that this is Dad’s idea?”

“Yes. If it wasn’t for Dad’s wishes, I would have let Miss Fox buy this Green Velvet no matter what.”

“Who is Dad going to give it to?”

“A relative in Lincheng. He promised him a long time ago. I only found out about this the day before yesterday.”

Ruby frowned and said, “Since he wants to give it to the designated person, why did he hold an auction? Isn’t this playing with others who came for Green Velvet?”

“It’s common practice for our family to auction it every year, but the development of Green Velvet in the past two years is not as good as before. Dad must have done this to make our Green Velvet name famous again. He wanted to use this opportunity to deliberately raise the price of Green Velvet to an astronomical price.”

“Then you should have made it clear to Melody, instead of lying to her.”

“You don’t understand… Miss Fox’s identity is extraordinary. Her husband is Ken Swanson! If we anger him, who knows if the Swanson Group will find a reason to suppress us? For the sake of the entire Taylor family, I have no choice but to do this… Honey, pretend that you don’t know anything and cooperate with me this time.”

“I should have thought of it long ago. Why did you fall in the bathroom and break your bones? But you’re wrong. Melody is definitely not that kind of person. You don’t have to lie to her like this.”

Chapter 813

Mason gritted his teeth and said, “I also know that Miss Fox is a good person, but I can’t bet Taylor’s family’s future on this one in ten million possibilities.”

Ruby grabbed Mason’s sleeve.

“Can’t you trust my judgment for once? She wouldn’t be mad if she knew the truth.”

Mason smiled bitterly and said, “If I hadn’t said it clearly before I pretended to be sick, perhaps she really wouldn’t be angry, but it’s too late now… The mistake has already been made. If it were you, wouldn’t you also be very angry that I lied to you, let alone her?”

“Honey, even if you don’t think about me, you have to think about the child in your stomach. Just cooperate with me and put on this show…”

“Get lost! I don’t want to see you!”

Ruby pushed Mason Taylor away and quickly walked out of the ward.

Mason was about to chase after her, but he stopped in his tracks.

He knew his wife. She would compromise eventually.

And that was indeed the case.

In the end, Ruby compromised. This time, she could cooperate with Mason to act, but the condition was that Mason must find a way to help Melody Fox get the Green Velvet in the future.

The production process for Green Velvet was very complex, with a maximum of five produced in an attempt to be successful.

She directly forced Mason to swear that out of the five Green Velvet pills produced the next year, she had to leave one for Melody Fox.

Of course, Mason agreed repeatedly.

Even so, Ruby still felt ashamed and apologetic for lying.

After crying for a while, Ruby finally suppressed the emotions in her heart.

She checked herself in the mirror, retouched her makeup, and noticed that her eyes were a little red.

She had no choice but to stay in the bathroom for a while longer and wait for her eyes to recover before going out.

Meanwhile, Melody was greeting “Doctor Mu”.

“Doctor Mu, you’re here? Have you finished what you wanted to do in the afternoon?”,

“It’s done. I talked to the person in charge of the ‘rat extermination’ for a long time. I plan to figure out the scale of the rats at home first before making a specific plan. I’ll try to find a chance to catch them all in one fell swoop.”

Only Melody could understand what Quentin Parker said.

After saying that, he scanned the entire second floor and asked, “Where’s your man, Mr. Swanson?”

The words “your man” obviously carried a hint of ridicule, but this ridicule was not directed at Melody, but at Ken Swanson.

Melody had already figured out that her master was like this because he cared about her, so she did not care about her master’s tone and only smiled. “He should be here soon.”

“Oh…” Quentin Parker dragged out the word. “It’s my fault. The Young Master of the Swanson Group who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, why did he come so early like me? Those with high statuses are always the finale!”

“Mas… Doctor Mu…” Melody Fox helplessly tried to help Ken Swanson explain.

However, when she thought of Colin Herbert’s words, “No father will like his son-in-law,” she immediately swallowed her words and changed her words to cooperate with Quentin Parker “You should teach him the right lesson. Even though you came, he still didn’t come early. How embarrassing! He thinks too highly of himself.”

“Don’t misunderstand. I will not teach him a lesson.”

Although Quentin Parker said that, he still enjoyed Melody’s words and revealed a satisfied expression.

He had raised his disciple with a handful of sh*t and pee. In the end, he was still close to her.

No matter what methods that kid called Ken Swanson used, it was impossible for him to replace his position in his disciple’s heart.

Melody observed Quentin Parker’s expression and silently hid the smile on her lips.

Her master had always been an old urchin. Although he was old, he was often still a child in his heart.

If he wanted his master to change his opinion of Ken Swanson, he had to stand on his master’s side first and not stand against him to speak up for Ken Swanson. Otherwise, it would only backfire.

After figuring this out, Melody worked even harder to “slander”

Ken Swanson.

“Actually, Ken Swanson has a lot of shortcomings. Not only is he not as handsome as you, but he’s also often one-track-minded. Oh right, he’s also a little obsessed with cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I can’t stand him even if I’m his wife. If it weren’t for the fact that he treats me very well, he wouldn’t have had the chance to be with me.”

Quentin Parker’s mood became even better when he heard that. He no longer targeted Ken Swanson. Instead, he took a step back and said, “You can’t say that. No one is perfect. If you want to find a husband, you have to find someone who treats you well. Appearance is not the most important thing. Besides, in the entire Halcyon, not many people can be as handsome as your master.”

Melody was very cooperative with Quentin Parker’s smelly fart.

“You’re right! In my heart, you’re the most powerful and handsome!”

The truth was that the young Quentin Parker was indeed quite handsome. In that era, he was very popular with girls. However, compared to Ken Swanson, who was good-looking, it was simply a dimensional blow.

But Melody realized something in the blink of an eye.

She looked up at Quentin Parker and asked, “Doctor Mu, how do you know that he’s the young master of the Swanson family?”

She never mentioned Ken Swanson’s family background to Quentin Parker.

Quentin choked. He covered his nose and coughed dryly. “I heard it by chance!”

After saying that, he found an excuse and left in a hurry, afraid that Melody would ask more questions.

In fact, he didn’t hear about it by chance.

Instead, they asked Colin Herbert and the Special Task Force about Ken Swanson.

Although suppressing malicious doctors’s faction was important, the important matters in his disciple’s life were equally important.

Needless to say, Colin Herbert was full of praises for Ken Swanson, while some of the Special Task Force’s people praised him, and there was no lack of negative news about him.

The rumor that bothered him the most was that Ken Swanson had personally crippled his half-brother’s legs a few years ago.

It was said that he had taken action when his younger brother had only accidentally broken one of his toys.

If this rumor was true, even if he had a big fight with Melody Fox, he would not agree to her being with such a ruthless person.

At the same time, Ken, who had just reached the entrance of the hotel, suddenly sneezed.

His suit jacket today was quite thick. Why did he sneeze for no reason?

Later, when he got home, he had to get Melody to give him a prescription to prevent him from catching a cold.

Ken Swanson tidied his sleeves and led James Deeds towards Colin Herbert and Beverly Herbert.

When the two of them saw Ken Swanson, their expressions could not help but become nervous.

“Mr. Swanson… Please come in!” Colin Herbert politely made a “please” gesture. His smile was filled with restraint.

Although Herbathrive was the largest traditional medicine Pavilion in Silverlake, his status and identity were still incomparable to Ken Swanson.

Therefore, even if the other party was his goddaughter’s husband, he couldn’t call him by his name.

Ken Swanson could tell that the couple was uncomfortable. He curled his lips into a smile and tried his best to make his naturally cold face look more genial.

“Hello, Godfather and Godmother. This is a small gift I brought over. Because it happened suddenly, I bought it from Lin Store. I hope you don’t mind.”

As soon as he finished speaking, James Deeds, who was behind him, walked forward with various expensive gift boxes.

Chapter 814

James Deeds also had a polite and respectful smile on his face.

“Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert. May I know where to put these gifts?”

Colin Herbert and his wife were already very shocked when they heard Ken Swanson called them”Godparents”.

His eyes widened when he saw the pile of expensive gifts.

These gifts added up to millions of dollars, right?

What a huge sum of money!

Moreover, not only were the gifts expensive, but they were also bought according to their preferences and needs. It was obvious that not only did he spend money, but he also put in a lot of effort.

It was obvious that Ken Swanson was in love with her Goddaughter.

This was enough to show how much he valued Melody.

Melody did not marry the wrong person! After all, with Ken Swanson’s status, there was no need for him to call them godparents like Melody. It was already very kind of him to come here for a meal.

Where could they find such a good son-in-law?

Colin Herbert suddenly relaxed.

“You guys are too polite. Just put it anywhere. I’ll call Herbathrive’s men to bring it back later.”

Beverly Herbert was also very satisfied with Ken Swanson. Her face was filled with smiles. She was no longer as reserved and polite as before. She said affectionately, “Good child, quickly go up. Melody is on the second floor.”

“Alright, then we’ll go up first.”

Ken Swanson nodded slightly at the two of them. He had just taken a few steps when he met a pair of scrutinizing eyes.

He looked up and saw that the other party was wearing a white coat of Herbathrive. He nodded politely at the other party as a form of greeting.

Unexpectedly, that person turned his face away with a “hmph” and walked past him and James Deeds towards the couple.

Ken Swanson did not react, but James Deeds frowned.

“Hey… Young Master, this person is too arrogant…”

Ken Swanson gave James Deeds a warning look and interrupted him.

Since the other party was from Herbathrive, he was one of them. There was no need to care too much about the other party’s attitude.

However, he did not seem to have seen this person before. Was he a new doctor?

Ken Swanson did not think too much about it and quickly called James Deeds to follow.

James Deeds could only take a deep breath and catch up to Ken Swanson.

Meanwhile, Quentin Parker walked up to the couple.

He asked, “That’s Ken Swanson?”

Colin Herbert quickly nodded and replied, “Yes, he is Ken Swanson.”

Quentin snorted again from the tip of his nose.

“Hmph! It’s just as I imagined. It’s just so-so!”

Colin Herbert did not dare to refute. He laughed dryly and said, “But his character is still passable. Just now, he even called Beverly and I godparents.”

Quentin Parker pouted.

“Did a few flowery words scare you? Then you’re too easy to please!”

Beverly Herbert was immediately unhappy.

“Doctor Mu, what you’re saying is wrong. He came over with sincerity. Why are your words so unpleasant?”

Colin Herbert was shocked. She quickly tugged at Beverly Herbert’s sleeve, indicating for her to stop talking.

When Beverly Herbert pursed her lips and shut up, he quickly said to Quentin Parker “Doctor Mu, don’t mind her. She’s just soft-hearted. We’ll continue to investigate Ken Swanson.”

Quentin Parker raised his eyebrows. Clearly, he did not intend to argue with Beverly Herbert.

However, because of what Beverly Herbert said just now, Quentin Parker looked at her seriously.

A moment later, Quentin frowned and said, “Stomach cancer?”

Beverly Herbert was stunned. She wanted to ask how the other party knew, but she thought that someone else might have told him, so she swallowed her words.

However, Colin Herbert, who was beside him, was shocked.

He had yet to officially introduce Quentin Parker to Herbathrive. The others naturally would not talk about this with Quentin Parker, so Quentin Parker figured it out himself.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it. He had only seen such a capable person in fantasy novels!

However, Quentin Parker was a living person. The fact that he could tell at a glance that Beverly Herbert had been cured showed how superb his medical skills were!

No wonder it was called the current Hua Tuo.

However, if Hua Tuo was still alive, it was hard to say which of them would have better medical skills.

His eyes were comparable to the hospital’s elite equipment.

Unfortunately, there were probably only Quentin Parker people in the entire medical world who had this ability.

If everyone could do the same, Halcyon could look down on the world with his medical skills alone.

Colin Herbert tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart. He swallowed hard and said, “Yes, but I discovered it very early on time. We just came back from the hospital after the surgery a few days ago. She’s almost recovered now.”

Quentin nodded. He sized up Beverly Herbert again and said, “Her Vitality is still a little insufficient. She has to quickly make up for it, now that she just recovered from a serious illness. Otherwise, the effects will not be as good as in the future.”

“Yes! I understand! Thank you, Doctor Mu!”

“Mm. I’ll go up first.”

He wanted to go up and meet that guy, Ken Swanson.

As soon as Quentin Parker left, Colin Herbert immediately wrote down Quentin Parker’s words in his phone memo.

Beverly Herbert frowned.

“Why do you have to do this?”

“As if! As if! Didn’t you hear him? He saw at once that you were ill.”

Beverly Herbert was prejudiced against Quentin Parker. She said disapprovingly, “Herbathrive must have told him. Otherwise, how could anyone see through my illness with the naked eye?”

“I find it unbelievable too, but if it’s him, it’s definitely not hearsay. It’s really something that can be seen with the naked eye.”

Beverly Herbert glared at him.

“I think he’s bewitched you!”

Unexpectedly, Colin Herbert said nervously, “Don’t say that!”

Beverly Herbert was even more displeased. Colin Herbert had always been obedient to her, but because of a new doctor, he had actually provoked her a few times. Was it because she had indulged him too much after she fell sick?

Beverly Herbert was about to make a face when a guest’s voice came from outside the hotel-

“It’s Mr. Herbert, right?”

The two of them quickly looked up.

They were all unfamiliar faces. Beverly Herbert did not recognize them.

However, when Colin Herbert saw the appearance of the group of people clearly, his eyes instantly widened.

The person who spoke to him was actually the high-ranking political big shot, Mr. Nickolas Chapman. Standing on his left was also the military big shot, Mr. Samuel Grover.

Standing behind the two of them was Master oil painting, Master Yannick Frost.

Any one of these three people could scare someone to death with their name, but they were actually together and even greeted them?

Were they dreaming?

Colin Herbert reached out and pinched his cheek to see if it hurt. He wanted to confirm if he was dreaming.

However, when he pinched himself, it was so painful that he almost cried.

He wasn’t dreaming!

Colin Herbert’s actions made the three of them laugh.

Nickolas Chapman suppressed his smile and said, “Mr. Herbert, you’re not dreaming. It’s us. My surname is Chapman. You can call me Nickolas. This is Yannick Frost and Samuel Grover. I think you’ve recognized them.”

Chapter 815

Colin Herbert hurriedly greeted them one by one. His serious expression made Beverly Herbert realize that these people had extraordinary identities. She also greeted them seriously.

Nickolas Chapman looked at the two nervous people and smiled. “Just be casual. We’re all friends of Melody. We happened to know that she was going to acknowledge her godfather and godmother today, so we came uninvited…”

“It’s our honor to have you here. You’ve brought light to our humble dwelling. Please come in!”

“Wait.” Samuel Grover said unhappily, “We haven’t even talked for a while. You’re the only one there.”

After complaining, Samuel Grover smiled and said to Colin Herbert, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. I’m not her friend. I’m her disciple!”

Now it was Yannick Frost’s turn to be unhappy.

“What are you talking about! I’m her disciple. If you want to become her disciple, you have to be at the back!”

“Damn it, it’s a big day. Do you have to fight me?”

“Let’s fight. Who’s afraid of who? With your old arms and legs, throw away your walking stick before talking to me!”

“You-“

Seeing that the two of them were about to fight, Mr. Nickolas Chapman reprimanded them.

“Alright! If you guys continue to argue, get lost! Don’t make Melody upset.”

The two of them stopped arguing and smiled at Colin Herbert.

Colin Herbert was shocked to the extreme. He even began to doubt his life.

Even these people were fighting to be Melody’s disciple. Was he really worthy of being her godfather? Were they a little ungrateful?

As he let his imagination run wild, the three of them pushed each other in.

“Husband? Husband? Colin Herbert!”

Beverly Herbert called Colin Herbert three times in a row. Colin Herbert finally came back to his senses and looked at her slowly. “…Huh?”

“You’re really…” Beverly Herbert looked disappointed. She lowered her voice and asked, “Who are those people? You look like you’re scared out of your wits!”

Colin Herbert stammered, but he still revealed the identities of those people.

Beverly Herbert’s face also turned pale. She immediately understood why Colin Herbert was so frightened.

The identities of those people were not people that they could meet at all.

Of course, Ken Swanson was different. He was Melody’s husband. They were mentally prepared for Ken Swanson’s arrival, but these people…

As Beverly Herbert thought about it, she thought the same thing as Colin Herbert.

She suddenly felt that she was really unqualified to acknowledge Melody as her goddaughter.

Before they could figure it out, another expensive car stopped in front of the hotel.

The two people who came down shocked Colin Herbert again.

Beverly Herbert took the opportunity to ask before the two of them walked over, “Who are these two? Could they be some big shot?”

Beverly Herbert stayed in the backyard all her life and was not willing to go online, so only a limited number of people knew about it. However, Colin Herbert was different. He also needed to go out often to socialize. Although he had not seen many real people, Silverlake was a famous person. His name, identity, and face matched.

Colin Herbert said shakily, “I mentioned Professor Ander Morgan to you before. He’s one of the people in charge of the research institute.”

Beverly Herbert was dumbfounded again.

The guests that Melody Fox had called today were all famous and influential.

Fortunately, with Nickolas Chapman and the others in front, Colin Herbert and Beverly Herbert were much calmer this time, but they still politely sent them to the elevator.

When the elevator door closed, Colin Herbert almost collapsed on the ground as if he had just run ten kilometers.

He regretted making today’s banquet so formal.

He should have just set up a table in the Herbathrive and invited his close friends over for a drink.

However, at this moment, Beverly Herbert came to her senses.

She grabbed Colin Herbert’s sleeve and said, “Hubby, are you also wondering if we’re really worthy of being her godparents?”

Colin Herbert nodded awkwardly.

Beverly Herbert smiled and said, “We were so shocked just now that we forgot our original intention. Think about it, why did we acknowledge Melody as our goddaughter back then?”

“Because I like her and I’m grateful that she saved your life.”

Beverly Herbert nodded and added, “It’s also because we know her background. Her biological mother passed away early and her biological father didn’t treat her well. We feel sorry for her! So we want to make up for her lack of motherly and fatherly love all these years.”

Colin Herbert seemed to have been enlightened. His tired eyes instantly became alert.

“Yes! You’re right! Melody has already agreed. Why should we feel inferior? We acknowledged her as our daughter for the sake of our fatherly and motherly love for her. We don’t want her to bring us anything. Melody is also willing to be our goddaughter because she knows this.”

“If she really feels that we’re not worthy, she won’t agree. If we feel that we’re not good enough now, we’ll embarrass her…”

Beverly Herbert smiled and patted Colin Herbert’s shoulder.

“That’s right, that’s right. Let’s raise our spirits. Melody’s friend is naturally not someone who will look down on us like her. Let’s just treat her normally. Besides, our daughter has built up so many famous figures. We should be happy for her and not panic here.”

Colin Herbert nodded his head vigorously. He wished he could immediately go up and announce the official start of the banquet.

However, there were still 20 minutes before the banquet started. They could not go up yet. They had to wait here for another ten minutes to see if there were any more guests.

At that time, a small incident happened on the second floor.

David Marrow was pouring red wine for Ken Swanson when he accidentally spilled red wine on Ken Swanson’s white shirt because he was too timid and nervous.

Therefore, everyone who saw this scene fell silent.

They did not know the identities of Nickolas Chapman and the others, but Ken Swanson knew them.

One by one, they were all frightened.

However, Melody had not seen Ruby for a long time. She was a little worried about her, so she went to the bathroom to look for Ruby, thus she was not present when the accident happened.

David Marrow’s legs went weak. He was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Ken Swanson.

“L-L-Mr. Swanson… I’m sorry, Mr. Swanson. I-I really didn’t do it on purpose. How much is your shirt? I’ll compensate you!”

The shirt was custom-made. Mr. Nickolas Chapman and his men could tell at a glance that it was not a price that David Marrow could afford.

However, they naturally would not participate in such matters. They drank their hot coffee.

Ken Swanson was a clean freak, to begin with. After the red wine was poured all over him, his face could not help but turn pale.

However, this was just a physiological reaction. He did not intend to get angry at David Marrow.

Firstly, today was Melody’s good day. Secondly, he was Melody’s disciple. No matter how angry he was, he would not flare up.

However, before he could say anything, a sneer sounded.

Ken Swanson looked up and saw that it was the doctor who had ignored his greeting downstairs.
