Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 826, 827, 828, 829, and 830) 

Chapter 826

Ken Swanson apologized repeatedly, but Quentin Parker did not have the slightest intention of accepting his apology.

Melody was stuck in a dilemma.

“Ken, for various reasons, I was not able to introduce you before. It just so happens that there is no one around, so let me introduce you.”

Melody Fox looked at Quentin Parker out of the corner of her eye as she spoke.

Seeing that Quentin Parker was not very resistant to her continuing, she dared to continue.

“James Deeds is actually right. He did use a fake identity, but he was forced to do so. In fact, he was the teacher who taught me medical skills and raised me since I was a child. He is Quentin Parker. I think you should have heard of this name.”

Ken Swanson nodded seriously.

He had already guessed it when he was drinking, but because their ages didn’t match, he still had doubts.

Now that Melody had introduced him like this, his identity would naturally not be fake.

He said respectfully to Quentin Parker, “Divine Doctor Li, I’ve heard a lot about you. It was me and my people who overstepped our boundaries just now. Please be magnanimous and tell me. What do you want me to do to appease your anger?”

James Deeds mustered his courage and said, “Divine Doctor Li, it’s all my fault. Young Master doesn’t know that I tricked you out… But….

I’m also doing this for the safety of Young Master and Miss Fox, so I have no choice but to ask about your identity. If you’re angry, just be angry with me and Aaron Berg.”

Aaron Berg’s lips twitched.

He did not know anything and was dragged over by James Deeds!

To be honest, his only mistake was that he shouldn’t have listened to James Deeds and tied Quentin Parker up.

Quentin looked at them with a deep gaze.

Of course, he knew that Ken Swanson was also unaware of this matter. Otherwise, Ken Swanson would not have revealed such a stunned and angry expression when he saw he was tied up.

However, he really could not swallow this anger.

“All of you, get up! Don’t play tricks here. What did you say when tied me up? Your words are not so nice!”

James Deeds’s body trembled, but he immediately shamelessly chuckled and said, “Divine Physician Li, I didn’t know your identity, right? That’s why I said those harsh words to you. I wanted to scare you into revealing your true identity. Your stomach can support a boat. Forgive me, this stupid pig, this time. In my next life, I’ll be your ox or horse to apologize!”

“It’s not worth it. I don’t lack a horse like you!”

Quentin Parker said as he walked out of the parking lot.

Melody quickly gave chase. Ken Swanson followed closely behind.

James Deeds hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and dragging Aaron Berg along with him.

The group of people behind him was really eye-catching.

Quentin Parker stopped and looked at Ken Swanson warningly. “Stop following me! Do you want everyone in Silverlake to know who I am?”

Ken Swanson had no choice but to stop and look at Melody Fox.

He knew that Quentin Parker was far more important to Melody Fox than Colin Herbert and the others.

If Quentin Parker did not accept him, Melody Fox might also distance herself from him.

Thinking of this possibility, Ken Swanson wanted to strangle that idiot James Deeds to death!

However, Melody did not know what to do.

Coincidentally, Colin Herbert brought Ander Morgan and the others over.

When the two gangs met, Quentin Parker and Ken Swanson tacitly pretended that nothing had happened and greeted them with a smile.

“You’re leaving too?”

Colin Herbert quickly glanced at Ken Swanson. He coughed dryly and said with a smile, “Yes, everyone has dispersed. There are only a few left to move the gifts sent by the guests.”

“Then I’ll help.”

“Don’t…-“

Colin Herbert grabbed Quentin Parker’s wrist and said, “Doctor Mu, you can leave this kind of thing to those young men. Tomorrow is your first day of consultation. You have to go back and rest well tonight. The dormitory has been cleaned up for you. I’ll get David Marrow to go back with you later. David Marrow…”

David Marrow immediately walked forward and said respectfully, “Doctor Mu, come with me. My car is in the parking lot.”

Quentin Parker nodded and greeted Ander Morgan and his wife before leaving with David Marrow.

In Ander Morgan’s opinion, this was just an ordinary doctor. Hence, he only greeted Melody Fox lightly before talking to him.

“Melody, there’s something I want to talk to you about alone.”

Melody was anxious if Quentin Parker had calmed down.

However, other than Ander Morgan and his wife, Herbathrive’s people also came one after another.

She could not make it too obvious and could only follow Ander Morgan to the side.

When Ken Swanson saw Colin Herbert looking at him just now, He understood that Colin Herbert also knew Quentin Parker’s identity.

So he was the last to know..

Melody was not afraid that he would not be able to obtain Quentin Parker’s favors.

He put on a natural expression and said to Zoe Morgan, Lucas Morgan, and the others, “I hit it off with Dr. Mu. I’ll get his contact information. Excuse me.”

“Mr. Swanson, take care.”

Zoe Morgan and the others did not suspect anything at all. After greeting Colin Herbert and his wife, they also got into their car and waited for Ander Morgan and Melody Fox to finish chatting.

In the corner of the parking lot.

Melody calmed herself down and asked Ander Morgan, “Godfather, what do you want to talk to me about?”

“It’s about Mabel Fox…” Ander Morgan paused and talked about Mabel Fox discrediting her.

Melody was not surprised at all.

It would be weird if Mabel Fox put in a good word for her.

“Is that what you wanted to tell me?”

Ander Morgan shook his head and said, “You also know that my laboratory is recruiting people. She has also obtained the qualifications to participate in the assessment. But as long as you say the word, I can directly make her lose this qualification.”

Melody’s heart felt as warm as a warm current.

Previously, Ander Morgan had mentioned to her that his position as the dean was about to end. He had been re-elected. Now, he was preparing for the assessment.

Since Mabel Fox was qualified for the assessment, it meant that she was quite capable and could help Ander Morgan.

Moreover, Ander Morgan was a person who cherished talent. He did not know that she was the one who solved Mabel Fox’s question.

Therefore, from Ander Morgan’s point of view, Mabel Fox was a rare talent.

To the research institute, no one’s character was important.

No one knew how much determination Ander Morgan had made to say this.

Melody Fox suppressed the gratitude in her heart and shook her head. “You don’t have to do this because of me. Just take the test normally.”

Ander Morgan was a little surprised.

“Are you serious? There’s really nothing wrong with me. I can directly reject her from participating in the assessment. You don’t have to consider me. Just consider your own thoughts. You don’t have to be so magnanimous in front of your godfather.”

Melody Fox smiled and said gratefully, “Godfather, I’m not pretending to be magnanimous in front of you, nor am I really that saintly. I’m only saying this to confirm that she definitely won’t be able to pass the subsequent assessment. If you don’t believe me, you can give it a try.”

Ander Morgan was puzzled.

“But the number of people who solved my question can be counted on one hand. Her IQ shouldn’t be low. She might be able to break into the end and enter my laboratory to work.”

Chapter 827

Melody Fox was amused.

How could she not know what Mabel Fox was capable of?

If it wasn’t for her, Mabel wouldn’t have been qualified for the assessment at all.

She said leisurely, “Then let’s wait and see. Let her participate in the assessment as usual. Pretend that nothing happened tonight.”

Since Ander Morgan saw Melody was so certain, he was even more confused.

Originally, he planned to officially start the assessment next month after he was done with the matters at hand.

However, he was suddenly very curious about what Melody had said. He calculated the date of the early assessment in his heart.

Melody observed Ander Morgan’s expression. Seeing that he did not seem to have anything to say, she took out a piece of paper that she had prepared in advance from her pocket.

“And this is?”

Ander Morgan reached out to take it. He took a look and realized that it was a prescription.

Melody explained, “Tonight at the banquet, I took the time to take Lucas’s pulse. Previously, he was seriously injured and his pulse was in a mess. Some things could not be seen, so I took his pulse carefully today.”

Ander Morgan’s heart tensed up.

“It’s Lucas’s body…”

Melody quickly shook her head. “It’s not a big problem. He just has a little insufficient Vitality. It shouldn’t be like this at this age, so his body is very deficient. I still have to make up for it.”

Ander Morgan was extremely excited.

“What happens if you can’t make up for it?”

“That’s hard to say… but it’s not a pulse that can last long.”

Ander Morgan’s face immediately turned pale.

“How did this happen…”

Melody said seriously, “I’ve thought about the reason. It should be because there’s something radioactive at home. That’s why he’s weak all year round and gets into trouble every few days.”

“What could emit radiation?” Ander Morgan was shocked.

“The last time I went to borrow equipment at home, I saw many strange-looking stones near the rockery in your backyard. I thought that something was wrong with it, but I didn’t see anything wrong with it. In addition, when I went on a business trip, I didn’t mention this to Lucas. However, I thought about it tonight. Something in that pair of stones should be radioactive.”

Ander Morgan gripped the prescription in his hand tightly and said, “I’ll get an instrument to test it when I get back.”

“Yes, you have to hurry up with this matter. Otherwise, your bodies will collapse soon.”

“I understand. Melody, thank you so much…”

Melody smiled. “Dad, you’re too kind. We’re family from now on.

You don’t have to thank me.”

Ander Morgan nodded seriously.

Melody continued, “Godmother mentioned to me before that there’s a master who once read Lucas’s fortune. I suspect that there’s something wrong with that master too. If there’s a time, we can also investigate from this aspect.”

Ander Morgan’s eyelids twitched. He said, “You think the radiation incident was not an accident?”

‘Right. But that’s just my guess and reasoning, too.’

Ander Morgan sucked in a cold breath. He felt a sharp pain and his back was covered in cold sweat.

Who exactly wanted to harm their family?!

On Ken Swanson’s side.

After he found an excuse to send David Marrow away, he went straight to the point. “Divine Doctor Li, I know that what you said to me tonight was to test me and see what kind of person I am.”

Quentin Parker raised his eyebrows and said, “So?”

Quentin Parker’s attitude still looked arrogant, but Ken Swanson’s heart was filled with joy.

If Quentin Parker was willing to take over, there was still a chance. There was still room for negotiation.

He quickly said seriously, “The reason why you tested me was also because of Melody’s happiness. I don’t know what kind of image I have in your heart in the end, and I’ve never dared to say that I’m a perfect person, but there’s one thing I can swear to you. I swear to the heavens and everything in the world. I’m sincere to Melody. In this life, as long as I, Ken Swanson, am still alive, I will never let her down!”

Quentin Parker was silent for a moment. His idle and arrogant expression slowly dissipated.

He finally revealed his true expression-serious, meticulous, and powerful. He did not look like the arrogant old urchin from before at all.

Almost two minutes later, Quentin Parker spoke again.

“How can I believe that you’re telling the truth? Melody’s appearance isn’t very good. How can someone like you like her? If you want me to believe that you really love her and not her medical skills and abilities, you have to show some sincerity.”

Ken Swanson clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his arms bulging.

“I’ve never been a person who cares about appearances. But since you’ve said so, you should have thought of how to make me show my sincerity. Tell me, I’ll definitely do it.”

Quentin Parker returned to his arrogant self and slowly took out a box from his pocket.

The box was transparent, and one could clearly see what was inside.

Ken Swanson looked down and saw a translucent thing that looked like an insect egg in the box. However, the insect egg was as big as a fingernail. Ken Swanson immediately thought of the Gu worm from Miaojiang that Ramon Swanson had given to Melody Fox.

Quentin Parker played with the box and said, “This bug is also called the Echoing Worm. It is not harmful to the body, but as long as I drive it, it can make people feel heart-wrenching pain until they die from the unbearable pain.”

Ken Swanson was stunned.

“Do you know about the Gu worms in Miaojiang?”

Quentin snorted disdainfully from the tip of his nose.

“That’s all left over from my little experiment days ago.”

“Then you’re thinking of…?”

“Eat it.” Quentin Parker leaned closer to Ken Swanson and said, “As long as you dare to eat it, I will believe that you truly love Melody and will never let her down in this lifetime. However, you have to think carefully. Once you betray her tone day, I will activate this answer bug.”

Quentin Parker urged, “Do you dare to eat it or not?”

“I’ll eat!”

As soon as Ken Swanson finished speaking, he did not say anything else. Without any hesitation, he took the egg and swallowed the translucent Echoing Worm.

Disgust filled his entire body, making him, a clean freak, want to vomit immediately.

But he tried to hold it in. Because he was holding back nausea, his hands were clenched into fists.

Quentin Parker raised his eyebrows and suddenly smiled.

“Kid, you’re… interesting.”

Ken Swanson suppressed the nausea in his stomach and said, “I’ll take it as a compliment. Now… are you willing to accept me?”

“Hmph.” Quentin snorted and said, “I still have to see how you perform in the future. However, I can write off tonight’s matter in my heart.”

Ken Swanson quickly bowed.

“Thank you, Divine Doctor Li!”

Quentin pouted. “Don’t get used to calling me that. Call me Doctor Mu in the future.”

“Yes, Dr. Mu.”

Only then did Quentin Parker feel better.

He waved his hand and said, “I’m tired. You can leave!”

Ken Swanson was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he left Quentin Parker a contact number before turning around to look for Melody.

Chapter 828

Quentin Parker looked at the rearview mirror of the car until Ken Swanson disappeared. He suddenly hugged his stomach and laughed.

“Idiot… I really tricked him!”

What he gave Ken Swanson was not an answer worm that could torture people but a medical worm that could regulate the stomach.

This move was not only to test Ken Swanson’s sincerity but also to warn him.

Moreover, he could tell that Ken Swanson’s stomach wasn’t very good. Although it wasn’t serious, it couldn’t be underestimated. Using this worm could nurse his stomach.

Killing three birds with one stone.

However, as he laughed, Quentin couldn’t laugh anymore.

This was because he had already acknowledged Ken Swanson in his heart. This also meant that he had personally handed Melody over to Ken Swanson to take care of.

With that, Quentin Parker’s mood became extremely complicated.

In the past, he would attend the wedding at a young age. When he saw a father wiping his tears after handing the bride’s hand to his son-in-law, he even mocked them in his heart.

But now, he could completely empathize with those fathers.

He took a deep breath. He was both sad and happy that Melody had found a good match for her who truly loved her.

Not long after Ken Swanson left, David Marrow came over with a cigarette.

Seeing that Ken Swanson had disappeared, David Marrow asked in confusion, “Eh? Where’s Mr. Swanson?”

He didn’t feel like he was being sent away on purpose at all.

Quentin Parker snorted as if he was looking at a fool. He laughed until his shoulders shrugged.

David Marrow was even more confused.

Quentin Parker felt that this child was so stupid that he was a little pitiful. He shook his head and took the cigarette from David Marrow’s hand. He said sympathetically, “Stop looking. I wanted this cigarette. Drive.”

David Marrow did not suspect anything. He responded and fastened his seatbelt. The car slowly drove out of the parking lot.

On the way, David Marrow deliberately asked Quentin Parker questions about medical skills. He learned some medical skills from this peerless divine doctor. However, when he tilted his head, he realized that Quentin Parker had already fallen asleep.

Not long after, the snores shook the sky.

The alcohol pressure from the acupuncture points came up at the same time. Quentin Parker was “unconscious”.

David Marrow had no choice but to ask the next time.

However, when they stopped at a red light, David Marrow still sneaked a look at Quentin Parker’s face mask. He thought that he could find a connection, but it was as if the skin was born with Quentin Parker. There was no flaw at all.

He could not help but sigh at Quentin Parker’s ability again. He was even more determined to learn good medicine.

With his talent, it was impossible for him to become the second Quentin Parker, but at least he could not embarrass Miss Fox.

At the same time, everyone in Fragrant Overflow Hotel finally dispersed.

James Deeds was punished by Ken Swanson to go to the black market to receive his punishment. He was also “demoted” to Ximber Tech to do manual labor.

To James Deeds, corporal punishment was not a big deal, but not being able to follow Ken Swanson was the real pain. This punishment was undoubtedly very serious for him.

However, James Deeds knew that he had made a huge mistake tonight, so he did not dare to say anything to absolve himself. He went to the black market with a long face.

After completing giving James Deeds punishment, Ken Swanson finally got into the car.

Melody was already waiting in the car. When she saw him enter, she immediately asked Ken Swanson, who just come back, and asked. You went to look for my master, What did you talk about?”

Ken Swanson gave her a look that said, “Now you know how to worry about my relationship with your master.” He said, “It’s nothing special. I just went to express my loyalty.”

“Loyalty?”

“Yes, your master has targeted me several times for your happiness. I swore to him that I would never leave you for the rest of my life, and he forgave James Deeds for the ridiculous things he did tonight.”

“Is that all?”

“What else can we talk about?”

Ken Swanson did not mention anything about the Echoing Worm. Firstly, he was afraid that Melody would be worried. Secondly, he was willing to swallow the worm.

Although it was a little disgusting, he felt that it was worth it to exchange it for Quentin Parker not rejecting him.

In short, for the sake of Melody, not to mention eating a worm, if Quentin Parker were to let him eat a plate, he would be able to endure the disgust and eat it.

Melody found it strange. Quentin Parker was not an easy person to please, nor was he someone who would be intimidated by a few words. How could he forgive Ken Swanson so easily?

However, they did not have anything else to say. Melody could only think that Ken Swanson was a good person as his master, so he gave him a chance.

“Alright, my master is actually a very kind person. Although his words don’t sound good, once he confirms that you’re one of us, he will treat you sincerely.”

Speaking of this, Melody recalled the days when she was pampered by her master.

Those rays of light had already been in her previous life, but they did not become blurry because of the passage of time.

Ken Swanson looked at the bright light in Melody’s eyes. He suddenly thought of a phrase: Love does not know its origin, but it is deeply in love.

If the heavens let him meet her, he would definitely hold onto their fate and never let go.

At the thought of this, he could not help but reach out and hold Melody’s hand tightly.

Melody came back to her senses and quickly reminded, “You’re driving. Don’t hold hands first.”

“You can open it with one hand.”

However, Ken Swanson was very persistent. He only let go of Melody’s hand when the car drove into the manor.

However, the moment they got out of the car, he grabbed her hand again.

Melody always felt that Ken Swanson was especially clingy tonight, but she enjoyed Ken Swanson’s actions This made her feel like they were just an ordinary couple with nothing to worry about.

However, fantasies were always easy to break.

As soon as they entered, they saw Ramon Swanson drinking coffee in the living room.

After the incident with Astrid Swanson, Ramon Swanson could not be in a good mood.

Seeing that they were back so late, his expression turned even uglier. He put down his glass of coffee and said, “Go home early in the future.” Then, he went upstairs.

Back in their room, Melody suddenly thought of something. She nervously pulled Ken Swanson, who was about to wash up, and said, “Mabel Fox, I saw her secretly recording with a miniature camera… I’m afraid that if word gets out that you attacked my father, it will affect you negatively.”

….

Ken Swanson patted her head.

“Don’t worry about that. I’ve already made the arrangements.”

When Melody heard this, her worried heart instantly returned to her stomach.

In the Fox family.

Mabel, who had just entered the house, had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

It was as if there was a pair of eyes staring at her from the dark, making her hair stand on end.

However, she couldn’t find anyone hiding nearby.

“I’m probably overthinking…”

Mabel Fox comforted herself with a few words. The uneasiness slowly faded.

However, the moment she entered the bedroom and changed into her pajamas, the feeling of being stared at came back.

“Who is it?!”

She exclaimed, and the only response she got was the sound of the wind outside the window.

She looked sideways and saw that the window of the room had been opened.

However, she remembered that the window was closed when she first entered the bedroom…

Chapter 829

Goosebumps instantly crawled all over Mabel Fox’s body.

“Guards! Guards!”

She cried out in alarm.

Coincidentally, a servant passed by the corridor and hurriedly pushed the door open. She walked in and asked, “Miss Mabel, what’s wrong?”

“There’s someone in my room!”

Mabel Fox nervously retreated to the door while letting the servants go in to search.

The servant’s heart jumped into her throat.

Under Mabel Fox’s command, she had no choice but to search every room where the thief could hide.

However, there was no one in the room, let alone anyone.

“Miss Mabel, there’s no one inside.”

Mabel Fox still looked nervous.

“Did you look carefully? Did you look in the closet?”

“Yes, I’ve searched everywhere.”

“What about behind the curtains?”

“I did, too.”

Not to mention the curtains, she even lifted the toilet lid to take a look.

At the thought of this, the servant could not help but kindly remind Mabel Fox, “Miss Mabel, do you want to go to the hospital to prescribe something to calm your nerves and nourish your brain? A relative of mine has the same feeling of being watched by others. He recovered after taking medicine.”

“Get lost! Do you think I’m crazy?!”

Mabel Fox kicked the other party’s calf. The servant gasped in pain.

“Get out! Don’t be an eyesore in front of me!”

The servant did not dare to say anything else. She turned around and ran out.

Mabel Fox felt vexed.

It was all because of that slut Melody Fox that she was showing signs of a nervous breakdown. She wondered if Ken Swanson’s warning to Russell Fox included her…

But all of a sudden, she lifted her eyelids and quickly walked towards the clothes rack by the door.

The bag and jacket she was wearing tonight were hanging there.

The camera that she had used to capture Ken Swanson was in her jacket.

Mabel Fox quickly searched the pocket of her jacket, but there was nothing inside except for a lipstick.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately rummaged through her bag.

However, the bag was only the size of two palms. Even if she poured everything out, she did not see her miniature camera.

Mabel Fox’s mind went blank for two seconds. Then, she looked at the window that was still pouring wind into the room. She shuddered and her legs went weak. She sat on the ground.

It wasn’t her imagination. Someone was definitely watching her and had stolen her camera while she was changing in the bedroom.

It was a small matter to steal the camera, but it was a big deal to not get anything tonight.

If Ulric Swanson asked, how was she going to explain?

She had gone to cause trouble, but in the end, she was chased out without any evidence?

However, when it rains, it pours. The phone she had forgotten to bring with her on the bed rang at that moment.

Mabel Fox shuddered and walked over weakly.

She picked up her phone and saw that the caller ID was Ulric Swanson.

Mabel Fox’s palm-sized face instantly turned extremely pale.

After a few seconds, she picked up the phone and said weakly, “Ulric?”

Ulric Swanson hummed and said, “Ken Swanson and the others are back. I asked you to go to the Fragrance Overflow Hotel. Did you make any progress?”

Mabel Fox quickly recounted what had happened tonight, but she did not dare to mention the theft stolen the video and camera she took, in case Ulric Swanson felt that she was useless.

Then, she talked about Russell Fox’s loyalty to him tonight.

When Ulric Swanson heard this, he hummed in an unclear tone. Then, he mentioned something that he would mention every time he called Mabel Fox.

“I just found out that Ander Morgan went tonight and acknowledged Melody Fox as his goddaughter with Colin Herbert. Have you guys met?”

Mabel Fox could not help but think of her cold gaze when she said goodbye to Ander Morgan.

The thought of that gaze made her feel uneasy.

Especially when she heard Ulric Swanson say that Ander Morgan had also acknowledged Melody Fox as her goddaughter, her eyes could not stop burning.

She was clearly not any worse than Melody Fox. She was even worlds apart from Melody Fox. Why did Ander Morgan not acknowledge her as his goddaughter and acknowledge Melody Fox instead?

Was it because Melody Fox, that b*tch, had accidentally saved his son?

Mabel Fox was extremely jealous, but she did not dare to mention a word to Ulric Swanson about Ander Morgan’s attitude towards her.

“I-I saw him… I greeted him properly.”

“He didn’t misunderstand you, did he?”

“No, no. I cleaned myself up. It’s just that he just came back from a business trip. He probably won’t be able to take care of the recruitment of new students in the laboratory in the next few days.”

“Okay, I got it. There’s nothing else to do for the time being. Prepare well for the assessment on his side. As for Melody Fox, don’t look for her without my permission, in case you don’t get any benefits and cause trouble.”

Mabel Fox felt a little uncomfortable hearing that.

If it was Ken Swanson… it definitely wouldn’t use such a warning tone to speak to her, right?

However, on the surface, she could only say obediently, “I know. I definitely won’t cause trouble for you and prepare for the assessment. It’s just that… if you can have a spare time with my father, do you want to talk to him?”

“We’ll see. I’ve been busy recently. It is getting late. You should rest early too.”

Ulric Swanson hung up before she could say anything.

Mabel Fox sat on the bed in a daze for a moment. The image of Ken Swanson could not be erased from her mind.

If…, if she had chosen Ken Swanson in the beginning, would she…

She did not dare to think further. She forced herself to look for a book to read.

On the other end of the phone.

“Russell Fox? Hehe.”

Ulric Swanson sneered. He threw away his phone and took a sip of red wine.

If she wanted to do something for him, he had to show him how capable he was.

He, Ulric Swanson, wasn’t someone who just anyone wanted.

If not for the fact that Mabel Fox was about to enter Ander Morgan’s laboratory, the current Russell Fox was not even worthy of carrying his shoes!

“Mr. Swanson.”

Jennie Taylor, who was dressed as a servant, took a step forward and asked, “Any progress on Miss Mabel Fox’s side?”

Ulric Swanson was not on speaker just now, so she did not hear anything.

A hint of irritation flashed past Ulric Swanson’s eyes.

“No!”

Jennie Taylor revealed an ‘as expected’ expression.

A moment later, she said, “Recently, a wave of Silverlake local malicious doctors contacted me. The leader is called Michael Hudson. This person’s poison count isn’t very high, but there are many people who are better than him. I want to ask your opinion. Do you want to take this group of people over?” “Malicious doctors’s matter is up to you. I won’t interfere. If you need anything, come find me again. But remember, don’t let Special Task Force’s people notice you.”

Jennie Taylor’s eyes flashed with joy.

This meant that he was going to give her power.

“Yes, I understand.”

Ulric Swanson put down his glass and massaged his temples tiredly.

Jennie Taylor lowered her head and walked to Ulric Swanson. She reached out and gently massaged his temples.

Ulric Swanson’s tired expression gradually relaxed. Jennie Taylor then asked, “Are you worried about Madam?”

Ulric Swanson did not say anything. Jennie Taylor continued, “I deliberately ‘passed’ by the small ancestral hall today. Madam doesn’t look like she’s in a bad state. Do you need me to find an opportunity to give Madam some nourishing medicine?”

Chapter 830

Jennie Taylor carefully observed Ulric Swanson’s expression as he spoke.

She keenly noticed that when she mentioned Astrid Swanson, Ulric’s expression did not change at all. However, when she mentioned giving Astrid Swanson medicine, Ulric Swanson’s expression turned ugly.

She had been working for Ulric Swanson for a while and immediately determined that Ulric Swanson did not care about Astrid Swanson’s life.

After coming to this conclusion, Jennie Taylor was secretly shocked.

She admitted that she was not a good person. She could even poison her daughter with her own hands.

However, after poisoning her daughter- the conscience who had attacked her felt like a knife was being twisted in her heart. She wished she could go with her daughter.

But Ulric Swanson, it seemed that kinship was not as important to him as what to eat tomorrow.

It would be a miracle if such a ruthless person did not succeed in the end!

However, this also proved that she had not followed the wrong person.

In the current generation, soft-hearted people would be beaten and bullied instead. Only ruthless people could achieve great things.

Jennie Taylor was still thinking, but in the end, she still could not figure out how Ulric Swanson was going to deal with Astrid Swanson.

Even when Ulric Swanson waved her off, Jennie Taylor was still puzzled.

He was not ruthless enough to “get rid of” her directly, nor did he reach out to help his own mother. What exactly was he planning to do?

The next day, Jennie Taylor discovered that Ulric Swanson had finally made his move.

Astrid Swanson’s family was coming over to see Astrid Swanson.

Moreover, there was a legitimate reason. It was the day of Wendell’s burial.

Silverlake was very particular about the date of burial.

In order to wait for a good day, some people could keep the urn of the deceased in the funeral home for more than ten years.

However, Cadence and Wendell’s burial date was very close.

This time, Jennie Taylor finally figured out why Ulric Swanson had remained silent. It turned out that he knew that on this day, the Hunter family people would definitely come looking for Astrid Swanson.

Of course, the Hunter family’s parents were also polite. Before they left, they called Margaret Swanson and asked on the phone why they couldn’t contact their daughter recently.

Margaret Swanson’s expression did not change as she said, “Astrid Swanson went on a business trip. She’s helping Ramon Swanson to discuss a very important project… Wendell’ll be buried tomorrow. I’m afraid she won’t be able to make it back in time.”

“I see… Since Wendell has already gone, it’s just a wisp of smoke that has drifted away. It’s more important for us to be alive. However, if you can contact her, please help us tell her to call us when she’s free.

We miss her very much.”

“Alright, I understand, in-laws.”

Margaret Swanson hung up the phone without changing her expression. Ramon Swanson acted as if he did not hear anything and continued to eat.

It was as if the person on the other end of the phone was not his mother-in-law, and Astrid Swanson was not his wife. He acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

Margaret Swanson looked up and met Ulric Swanson’s gaze. “Your uncle will be buried tomorrow, so we won’t go. You can go over. Your brother hasn’t investigated your matter yet. Remember to come back when it’s over.”

Ulric Swanson’s hands slowly tightened under the dining table, but a smile appeared on his face. “Alright, I understand, Grandma. I’ll go early and come back early.”

What did she mean by he hadn’t found out yet…

Ken Swanson must have deliberately delayed it and locked him up at home for a few more days.

But what was the use of locking him up?

Ridiculous.

However, Ramon Swanson’s attitude still made him angry.

He originally wanted to test Ramon Swanson’s attitude towards Astrid Swanson through the mouths of the Hunter family people.

If there was still room for maneuver, he would reach out and help Astrid Swanson from behind.

Now that he saw Ramon Swanson like this, the last trace of hope in his heart disappeared and was replaced by anger.

They had been husband and wife for many years, but in the end, they were nothing in Ramon Swanson.

The cold-bloodedness in his bones was inherited from Ramon Swanson, right?

However, since Ramon Swanson had made up his mind not to let Astrid Swanson return to her previous position, he did not have to waste his effort.

“I’m done eating. I’ll go upstairs first.”

Ulric Swanson did not look angry at all. He still looked as gentle as jade. He even nodded at Melody before leaving.

Melody looked at Ulric Swanson’s back and could not help but admire him.

If it were her, it would be very difficult for her to smile when her biological mother was in such a situation.

Compared to being heartless and cold-blooded, even if she was reborn, she was not even one-thousandth of Ulric Swanson’s ruthlessness.

However, she was very curious. What would Ulric Swanson do next?

Ignoring Astrid Swanson?

After all, she was his biological mother. He came out of her stomach and was the person who gave him life. Could he be so heartless and not plan to help his mother at all?

As long as it was a human, it was impossible, right?

Therefore, Melody kept a close eye on Ulric Swanson for the next few days.

Especially on the day of Wendell’s funeral, she sent Aaron Berg to secretly follow Ulric Swanson. In the end, Ulric Swanson really obediently attended the funeral and returned to the manor.

Not to mention doing anything, he didn’t even say a word to anyone.

Was he not concerned about his mother yet? Or was it because he couldn’t think of a way to deal with it?

Melody did not relax and let Aaron Berg and Spencer continue to watch Ulric Swanson in shifts.

However, even when Astrid Swanson had a mental breakdown or was talking crazy, Ulric Swanson still did not move.

On the morning of the fourth day, Astrid Swanson went completely crazy. In her frenzy, she bit off a mouthful of flesh on the back of her hand.

Ramon Swanson immediately called for a car to send Astrid Swanson to the hospital.

However, halfway through, the car collided with a truck and Astrid Swanson died on the spot.

Melody found out about this from Aaron Berg.

Her eyes were filled with shock.

“Ulric Swanson really didn’t care about anything?”

“Yes…”

Melody clenched her fists tightly.

“Crazy!”

The enemy she was facing was not a normal person at all, but a lunatic!

In her previous life, she was so innocent that she didn’t need to be surprised when she died in his hands.

To put it bluntly, in her previous life, Mabel Fox pretended to have a heart attack and wanted to dig out her heart to save Mabel’s life. How could someone as smart as Ulric Swanson not notice?

It was obvious that he had planned this from the beginning. Even Mabel Fox was a chess piece on his chessboard.

It took a while for Melody to calm down. She looked up at Aaron Berg and said, “Pay attention to the movements of Silverlake’s upper-class circle on the Internet. the Swanson Group’s CEO’s wife died just like that. There will definitely be all kinds of speculation outside.”

“Miss Fox, don’t worry about this.” Aaron Berg took out his phone and flipped through the news. “Mr. Ramon has already explained it to the outside world.”

Melody Fox looked down and saw that it was the Swanson Group’s obituary.

It begins with the Swanson family and the rest of the company expressing deep sorrow and then states that Astrid Swanson has been immersed in the pain of losing her brother since Wendell died of a sudden emergency.

Astrid, who drove out to relax today, was in a daze, which led to a car accident.

The Swanson Group also paid huge compensation to the owner of the truck that hit Astrid Swanson, even though the other party only suffered minor injuries.
