Chapter 836

“Don’t say that!” Sid Quant said anxiously, “That’s why I’m here. Brother Ken, just give me some work. I’ve been staying in the hospital for a while now and I’m going to be moldy. If I lie down any longer, mushrooms will grow on my bed! Also, Ximber Tech’s X-series product is going to be on the market soon. The company is probably busy now. I can go back and make them relax a little…”

Ken Swanson was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he gave Melody Fox a look.

Melody Fox immediately understood. She took two steps forward and took Sid Quant’s hand to take his pulse.

About a minute later, Melody Fox let go of his hand and said, “You can do some work, but you can’t work too hard, especially not doing any strenuous exercise.”

Sid Quant’s eyes immediately lit up.

“Brother Ken, did you hear that? Since Melody has already said so, let me go back to work! I’ll go back and hit the keyboard to see if there are any problems with the product that need adjustment. I won’t be tired.”

Ken Swanson sighed and relented. “You can go back to work, but you can only work three hours a day. When you reach the three hours, you have to go home and rest.”

Sid Quant nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.

“Yes, yes, yes. I promise I won’t exceed three hours. If I exceed one minute, you’ll punish me by making me unable to get out of bed for three days!”

Ken Swanson raised an eyebrow. “Then it’s settled. Go back and rest today. You can go to Future Technology tomorrow afternoon.”

“Don’t… I have another personal matter.”

Sid Quant looked at Melody Fox and said, “Melody, Fox, I was discharged from the hospital today, and learned from my father that the blood transfusion from my operation that day was not enough. It was a friend of yours who lost her blood to me. I want to thank your friend.”

As Sid Quant spoke, he pointed at the stone table beside him and said, “Look, I brought my gifts over, but I asked Herbathrive once and they said that they didn’t know who gave me the blood transfusion.”

Melody Fox took a look and realized that the gifts were all very expensive. Moreover, it seemed that Sid Quant did not know if the person who gave him the blood transfusion was a man or a woman, so the gifts he bought were all suitable for both men and women.

She smiled bitterly and said, “It’s hard on you to have such thoughts, but I’m afraid your trip was in vain.”

“What do you mean?”

“The person who gave you the blood transfusion was not from Herbathrive. It was… a female celebrity.”

Sid Quant’s eyes instantly widened. His pupils trembled as he asked, “W…-what? A female celebrity? How do you know a female celebrity…”

Before he could finish speaking, Sid Quant suddenly remembered that Melody Fox was indeed very close to a female artiste previously. He even specially went to visit the other party’s production team.

When they went to visit, he had a vague impression of her.

“I think her name is… Zara Wentworth, right? That’s the name, right?”

Melody Fox nodded.

“Yes, she called Zara Wentworth, but she told me yesterday that she accepted an endorsement and is filming at Insterimond. I’m afraid she hasn’t returned to Silverlake yet. If you want to thank her in person, you’ll have to wait for a few days.”

“It’s fine. There’s no hurry. Let me know when she comes back.”

“Okay.”

Melody Fox agreed, but she knew in his heart that with Zara Wentworth’s personality, she would probably reject Sid Quant’s gratitude in person.

However, this was a matter between Sid Quant and Zara Wentworth after all. She decided not to express her opinion on Zara Wentworth’s behalf.

After the two of them finished chatting, Melody Fox turned around and saw Ken Swanson sitting at the stone table and gnawing on her roasted lamb leg.

There were two lamb legs in total, and they were all roasted. There were too many dishes for lunch, so everyone only ate one.

The remaining lamb leg went into Ken Swanson’s stomach before he could finish it.

However, he still wanted more.

“Is there anything else?”

Melody Fox quickly stopped Ken Swanson, who was about to continue looking for food.

“Just eat this much. You don’t have a good stomach. You can’t eat too much of this greasy stuff.”

Ken Swanson was more obedient than Sid Quant. He nodded obediently when he heard Melody Fox’s words.

“Alright, I won’t eat anymore. But…” Ken Swanson said hesitantly, “My stomach seems to be a little better than before. I drank so much last night, but I don’t feel any stomachache today.”

If it was before, he would not be able to eat anything all day, let alone eat things like roasted lamb legs.

“Rehabilitation of the stomach? I was adjusting your cough previously. I haven’t had the time to start recuperating your stomach.”

When Sid Quant saw this scene, he clicked his tongue and shook his head. “I made the worst decision to come here today. I’m leaving. I won’t eat your dog food anymore!”

Although he said that, Sid Quant was happy for Ken Swanson from the bottom of his heart.

Ken Swanson had been single for so many years. He was worried that he would die alone.

Now that someone was controlling him and loving him, he did not have to worry about him in the future.

Sid Quant left quickly. Before he left, he did not forget to say, “I’ll give you those gifts. Next time, I’ll buy another one according to Miss Wentworth’s preferences.”

After Sid Quant left, Melody Fox reached out and took Ken Swanson’s pulse.

However, it was fine if she did not take his pulse. When she did, Melody Fox was shocked.

She remembered that the last time she took Ken Swanson’s pulse, his stomach was still very bad. Although it was not serious, it was completely incomparable to a healthy person.

However, after taking his pulse this time, all his ailments were gone.

However, she clearly did not have the time to prescribe a prescription for Ken Swanson to nourish his stomach.

Melody Fox did not believe it and took his pulse seriously again. A few seconds later, Melody Fox suddenly looked up at Ken Swanson.

“What’s wrong?” Ken Swanson was shocked by her gaze. “Am I sick?”

“No, not only are you not sick, but all the small problems related to your stomach have also been cured…”

Ken Swanson was a little stunned, but he immediately joked, “It seems that I’ve married the right wife. I sleep with you every day, and those small problems are all scared away by you.”

However, Melody Fox could not laugh. She asked with a serious expression, “Ken Swanson, have you eaten anything strange these few days? For example… strange-looking little bugs…”

Ken Swanson had originally decided to hide it from Melody Fox. He had eaten the Echoing Worm.

However, since Melody Fox had already asked this question, it meant that she already had a judgment in her heart.

Ken Swanson was silent for a moment before he nodded and said, “Yes. That bug seems to be called Echoing Worm…”

“Echoing Worm?” Melody Fox was even more confused. He tugged at Ken Swanson’s sleeve and asked, “Who gave you this?”

“Well …”

“Tell me the truth. Don’t try to hide it from me!”

Ken Swanson had no choice but to tell her everything that had happened between him and Quentin Parker last night.

After Melody Fox finished listening, she understood everything.

She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she said, “That’s not an answering bug at all. It’s an excellent medicine to regulate the stomach. That bug was hard to find even with money. Master only has two in total. One was given to me, and the other… is in your stomach now.”

Ken Swanson looked up at her in shock. After a few seconds, he finally understood and said with a bitter smile, “Your master was lying to me…”

Chapter 837

“No wonder I thought he was holding back his laughter. I thought he was very satisfied with my sincerity…”

The more Ken Swanson spoke, the more embarrassed he became. His entire face seemed to be a little stiff.

He even began to worry if Quentin Parker would think that he was stupid and that he wasn’t worthy of Melody and wouldn’t let them be together.

Melody Fox was afraid that Ken Swanson would be angry, so he quickly explained on behalf of Quentin Parker, “My master was also afraid that I would be deceived by you, so he thought of this trick to see if you really liked me. Moreover, my master did not really feed you poisonous Gu. This Gu is really good at regulating the stomach. It’s much more effective than me prescribing a prescription for you to regulate it. Don’t be angry…”

Ken Swanson could not help but laugh. He reached out and patted Melody Fox’s head.

“Silly girl, why would I be angry? I thought I ate it because I was determined not to let you down. Now that I know that it’s not a poisonous Gu, I have nothing to be angry about.”

If it was someone else, perhaps he would be angry because the other party was toying with him, but Quentin Parker was different.

This was the so-called ‘love the house and the crow’.

Not to mention toying with him, even if it was a serious matter, he could continue to treat Quentin Parker as family on account that he had raised Melody.

Moreover, Quentin Parker did this for Melody’s happiness. With Quentin Parker taking care of Melody Fox with him, how could he not be happy?

When Melody Fox saw that there was really no displeasure in Ken Swanson’s eyes, he was completely relieved.

“It’s good that you’re not angry. You and Master are the people I care about the most in my life. I don’t want there to be any conflict between the two of you…”

“Don’t worry. No matter what your master says or does to me, I will obey him.”

Ken Swanson shook his head and smiled.

“Melody, you don’t have to tell me the truth about that insect.”

Melody Fox understood what Ken Swanson meant.

“You mean that even if you want to let me down in the future, you’ll still be wary of the Gu worm in your stomach and won’t dare to betray me?”

“Yes. But I’m just making a hypothesis. I…, Ken Swanson, will never betray you in this life.”

“I know, I believe you,” Melody Fox said with bright eyes. “It’s precisely because I believe you that I don’t want to rely on a worm to maintain our relationship. If you really don’t love me anymore one day, just tell me. I won’t pester you.”

After experiencing what happened in her previous life, she had already thought about it in this life.

Even without love, she would be strong and independent and live for herself. She would not lose herself for love like in her previous life.

Ken Swanson frowned and held her hand tightly.

“What are you talking about? That day will never come. Even if you don’t trust me, you have to trust your own judgment.”

Melody Fox smiled bitterly and said, “But people’s hearts can change. Even if you love me now, there’s no guarantee that you won’t suddenly fall in love with someone else one day… Ugh…”

Before she could say “human”, her lips were already sealed by Ken Swanson’s thin lips.

Melody Fox’s eyes instantly widened.

“Li! Ken!”

She practically squeezed the words out of her mouth.

After all, this was the backyard. There would be people coming in and out anytime. If someone saw them…

Melody Fox blushed and hurriedly tried to push Ken Swanson away.

However, Ken Swanson did not seem to care about being seen at all. Instead, he hugged her even tighter.

The air between her lips and teeth was taken away by him bit by bit. Melody Fox was angry and embarrassed, but later on, she realized that Ken Swanson was angry and punishing her!

What he was angry about was that he shouldn’t have said that he might fall in love with someone else one day.

Melody Fox helplessly begged for mercy-

As she retreated and tried to avoid his kiss, she took the opportunity to beg for mercy. “I was wrong. I won’t say that again…”

Only then did Ken Swanson let go of her. However, his eyes still clearly said, “If you dare to say that again, I won’t ‘let you off”.”

Just as Melody Fox was about to promise Ken Swanson, he saw a door in the backyard half-open. Seventeen’s face was red as he awkwardly tried to hide.

Melody Fox’s brain seemed to explode.

She had actually forgotten that Seventeen was still recuperating in the backyard!

He wondered how much he had seen just now…

Ah… ah… ah… ah…, how embarrassing! There was nothing more embarrassing than being seen kissing by his subordinates and begging for mercy!

Ken Swanson noticed the change in her expression and followed her gaze. He met Seventeen’s awkward gaze.

When Seventeen saw Ken Swanson looking over, he was so frightened that his entire body trembled.

“S…-Sir… I didn’t do it on purpose. I just heard Miss Fox and your voice, so I came out to greet you…”

In all honesty, he really had no intention of peeping!

He thought that he was wearing pajamas and wanted to change into a formal suit to meet Sir and Miss Fox, so he delayed some time.

Unexpectedly, he happened to be in such a situation after changing his clothes!

The heavens were really playing a prank on him!

If he had known this would happen, he would rather come out in his pajamas and be scolded by the master. Instead, he would feel better.

“It’s you…”

Ken Swanson’s expression was calm without the slightest bit of awkwardness. His tone could not be any more natural as he asked, “How’s your recovery?”

Only then did Seventeen dare to walk out of the door and bow respectfully to Melody Fox and Ken Swanson.

“Thanks to you, I’ve been drinking the medicine prescribed by Ms Fox every day. I’ve almost recovered. I just wanted to ask you, when can I end my leave?”

Ken Swanson did not say anything. Instead, he used his eyes to ask Melody Fox what he meant.

Melody Fox sighed and said, “Ken Swanson, do you have any skill points that can make the people around you love work more than rest?”

It was the same for Sid Quant, Seventeen, and even more so for James Deeds. He was even more unwilling to do less work than before. It was a life of hard work.

Ken Swanson chuckled and said, “Then according to Doctor Fox, will he be able to come back to work or continue to rest?”

Melody Fox took Seventeen’s pulse and checked his wound. Then, she said, “Seventeen is indeed almost recovered. As for Sid Quant, I’m still a little worried that his body can’t take it.”

Ken Swanson raised an eyebrow.

“That’s easy. Seventeen…”

“Yes!”

“You can get back to work, but you don’t need to return to Melody for the time being. Help me keep an eye on Sid Quant for now.

Don’t let him work too much and tire his body.”

“This…” Seventeen lowered his head.

Compared to following Sid Quant, he was more willing to follow Miss Fox.

“Huh?” Ken Swanson frowned. “You’re not willing?”

Seventeen was shocked and quickly said, “No! I promise to complete the mission!”

Ken Swanson waved his hand and said, “Then pack your things now and keep a close eye on Sid Quant. If he doesn’t listen and has to work while resting, inform me immediately.”

“Yes…”

Chapter 838

Seventeen were left with a belly full of resentment.

If he had known that he would have to follow that unreliable Mr. Quant, he would have rested for a few more days.

He was really unlucky today…

At the same time, Sid Quant, who had just returned home, suddenly sneezed. “Achoo…”

Who was scolding him?

But soon, Sid Quant didn’t care anymore because he had a party at home. In another two hours, he would be surrounded by a group of beauties.

Melody Fox said that after what happened last time, he was affected in some way, but he did not believe it.

When he tried masturbating while he was hospitalized and was verified in the ward, although it was indeed not good… Perhaps it would be fine if it was changed to a real person?

In short, it was impossible for him to accept that he was impotent at such a young age. They must be scaring him!

In the backyard, not long after Seventeen left, Ken Swanson also received a call from Ramon Swanson.

Ramon Swanson said concisely on the other end of the phone, “A few of Insterimond’s partners came to see me for dinner tonight. You’re the one who built the Swanson Group’s branch in Insterimond. You should know those groups of people. I’m in Lincheng now. I can’t make it before dinner. Take my place.”

With that, Ramon Swanson added, “I’m here because of your Aunt Astrid’s death. Just accept the gift and have a meal with them. The dinner is almost over. I should be almost done here. I’ll try my best to rush over.”

“I got it.”

“Yes, where are you? I’ll get my secretary to come over. You can go and buy a gift in advance.”

“At Herbathrive…”

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment before saying, “Okay, then wait for him at your place. I’ll get him to pick you up immediately.”

With that, Ramon Swanson ended the call.

Ken, while on the call with Ramon Swanson, had specially put him on speaker, so Melody Fox clearly heard what Ramon Swanson said.

He smiled apologetically and said, “I originally planned to eat with you at Herbathrive for dinner, but now it seems that I can’t.”

“It’s fine. Go do what you need to do. But… those people are here for the funeral. Why didn’t you let Ulric Swanson receive them? Ulric Swanson is Astrid Swanson’s biological son, isn’t he?”

Ken Swanson chuckled and explained, “Most of those people are related to the Hunter family. The old man is probably worried that Ulric Swanson will take the opportunity to talk about the real cause of Astrid Swanson’s death…”

“Understood.” Melody Fox was very happy for Ken Swanson. “If he’s so wary of Ulric Swanson, won’t it be very beneficial to us?”

Ken Swanson shook his head.

“Isn’t he guarding against me too?”

Melody finally remembered that Ken Swanson had been secretly demoted by Ramon Swanson at the Swanson Group headquarters.

She clicked her tongue and said, “Your father is really a fox who has cultivated for a thousand years. As long as he’s unwilling, no one can get any benefits from him. Even his body doesn’t know how long it can support his intense work.”

“Not long, I’m afraid.”

Ken Swanson’s tone was a little mocking.

He had never thought of holding the Swanson Group in his hands before because he disdained it. It was not until Ulric Swanson’s scheme approached that he made up his mind to take down the Swanson Group.

If he couldn’t get it in the end, he might as well destroy it so that Ulric Swanson couldn’t get it either.

However, the possibility was slim. He was confident that he could win against Ulric Swanson.

Before long, Ramon Swanson’s secretary arrived.

This secretary was very good at dealing with people. When she saw Melody Fox, he first greeted her respectfully before presenting her with a meeting gift.

Melody Fox looked at the packaging. It was a luxury brand. Judging from its size, it should be a bracelet or necklace.

The other party seemed to be afraid that she would not accept it. Before she could speak, he said, “This is the first time I’ve seen Mrs. Swanson. I thought that I had to bring you a gift no matter what. Mrs. Swanson, you must accept it.”

Melody Fox saw that Ken Swanson’s expression did not change, so she reached out to take it and thanked him with a smile.

“That’s very thoughtful of you. Thank you.”

“No, this is what I should do. It’s good that Mrs. Swanson doesn’t mind the cheapness of the gift.”

Ken Swanson said, “Go wait for me in the car first. I’ll be there in a while.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

The secretary nodded at Melody Fox and returned to the car.

Melody Fox glanced at the secretary’s back and asked in a low voice, “This shouldn’t be one of your people, right?”

Ken Swanson shook his head gently. “This is a smart person. He’s also trying to be nice to me, Fox. He’s also tried to extend an olive branch to Ulric Swanson. He’s probably afraid that one day when the old man retires, he’ll be marginalized by one of us.”

“Does your father know that he’s looking for a new home for himself so early in the morning?”

“Of course not. I just wanted to tell you that if he finds you again, don’t see him. Otherwise, if the old man finds out, he’ll be more suspicious of us.”

Melody Fox suddenly felt that the gift in her hand was a little hot.

“Should I return this gift to him?”

“Just keep it. He’s been with my father for so many years. It’s normal for him to give you a meeting gift. Just ignore him next time.”

“Alright, I’ll remember.”

“Okay, I’m leaving. I might be back late tonight. If you’re tired, go to sleep first. You don’t have to wait for me.”

“Got it. Bye!” Melody Fox waved at Ken Swanson and watched him get into the car. She only looked away when the car disappeared.

However, when she turned around, she met Quentin Parker’s gaze.

Melody Fox felt guilty for no reason. She felt like he had been caught in a puppy love relationship by his parents.

“Mas… Doctor Mu…”

Melody Fox walked over awkwardly.

Quentin snorted and said, “If you continue standing, I think you’re going to become a husband-gazing stone.”

Melody Fox was already embarrassed. When she heard this, her cheeks immediately turned red.

“Doctor Mu…”

“Alright, I think that kid is still sincere to you so far. It’s not bad to enjoy it. However, I still have to remind you that no matter how much you love someone, you have to leave some leeway for yourself in your heart. When he changes his mind one day, you won’t lose yourself because of this.”

What her master said was the same as what she thought.

However, she was still willing to believe that Ken Swanson was different from Ulric Swanson.

However, even though she thought so, she still nodded obediently. “I’ll remember.”

Quentin nodded and called her back to the backyard to talk.

Melody Fox knew that this was a serious matter, so he quickly followed Quentin Parker back to the backyard.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Quentin Parker went straight to the point. “I’ve worked for nothing today. I didn’t manage to catch Jennie Taylor, Michael Hudson, and the others in one fell swoop.”

Melody Fox knew that Quentin Parker would not gain anything from this trip, but he still followed Quentin Parker’s words and asked, “What happened?”

“They have too many spies. By the time our people arrived … they were already gone. However, it’s not completely useless.”

Quentin Parker pointed in the direction where Ken Swanson left and said, “His younger brother seems to be very close to Jennie Taylor.”

“That’s right. I’ve mentioned it to you before.

Jennie Taylor only dared to expand malicious doctors’s team because of him.”

Chapter 839

Quentin narrowed his eyes and asked, “Are you sure Ken Swanson isn’t in cahoots with his brother?”

Melody Fox quickly vouched for Ken Swanson.

“Master, I can swear to God that Ken Swanson and Ulric Swanson are definitely not the same kind of people. He’s just like us. He can’t wait to get rid of Jennie Taylor and Ulric Swanson.”

Quentin Parker pursed his lips and said, “I thought so too. You’ve known from me since you were young how dangerous malicious doctors are. If he was that kind of person, the two of you wouldn’t have gotten together. Therefore, in front of the Special Task Force, I vouched for your husband. The people of Floassian restaurant will only keep an eye on Ulric Swanson in the future, not Ken Swanson.”

Melody Fox’s eyes lit up. He said gratefully, “Thank you, Master…”

“Alright, why are we thanking each other? But if it’s possible, I need you and Ken Swanson to cooperate with the Special Task Force and gather concrete evidence that he and Jennie Taylor are working together.”

“No problem. We’ve always been collecting such evidence. Unfortunately, Ulric Swanson is too careful. We haven’t made any progress yet.”

“There’s no hurry. As the saying goes, you can’t eat hot tofu if you’re impatient. As long as you guarantee your safety, you can slowly collect them. We’ll think of a way over there. Oh, right, there’s another private matter that I need your help with.”

“Why are you being so polite with me? Just tell me what you need me to do.”

“I’m living in Herbathrive’s staff dormitory now. It’s close to Herbathrive, but the Special Task Force’s people often need to look for me. If I’m bumped into by Herbathrive’s staff, it won’t be easy to explain. That’s why I want you to buy me a villa. I don’t want a suite. I want a villa that’s safer and more private. It’s also exquisitely decorated. It’s the kind that can be moved in with bags. The price isn’t a problem.”

“Master, what are you talking about? Why would I ask you to pay? I’ll buy it. I guarantee that I’ll buy something that suits your taste.”

Quentin Parker was very determined.

“It’s not like I can’t afford this bit of money. Don’t fight with me over this bit of money. In the future, when I’m too old to walk, you’ll be filial to me.”

Melody Fox could only agree. “Alright.”

“By the way, the bank card I’ve asked Colin Herbert to give to you, use that card to pay. You know the password. It’s the day you became my disciple.”

Melody Fox nodded repeatedly, but in her heart, she was certain that Quentin Parker’s money was definitely not enough to buy a house.

After all, her master had lived in seclusion in the mountains for so many years. The current house price of Silverlake was already a deterrent price compared to decades ago. Moreover, his master wanted a single villa.

However, she did not intend to use Quentin Parker’s money.

However, since her master had said so, she would just symbolically ask the salesperson to deduct more than $100, 000 when the time came.

However, she did not know if her master had more than $100, 000 in his bank card…

“I understand, Master. Coincidentally, I’m free now. I’ll do it right away. I’ll try to let you stay there tomorrow and the day after.”

“Go on.”

Quentin Parker poured himself a glass of water and drank it slowly.

Coincidentally, David Marrow rushed over.

“Doctor Mu, I’ve finally found you. Someone has registered for your consultation.”

Quentin stood up slowly. “That person has good taste. Let’s go!”

Melody Fox could not help but smile when he saw Quentin Parker pretending to be calm but actually in a hurry. In the eyes of outsiders, his master was Herbathrive’s new doctor, so everyone preferred to register as an old doctor. As a godly doctor, he had yet to see a patient.

Although her master did not say it, he actually hoped that someone would look for him to treat his illness, right?

After all, it was quite uncomfortable to have nothing to show off.

Sure enough, just as Melody Fox had predicted, Quentin Parker came to the consultation room and sat down. Seeing that the patient had not come up yet, he could not wait to ask David Marrow about the patient’s symptoms. David Marrow happened to know the patient’s symptoms, so he said truthfully, “This patient’s symptoms are very strange. His stomach is harder than a rock, and there’s water in his umbilical cord…”

After David Marrow finished speaking, Quentin picked up the medical prescription and wrote it down. As he wrote, he muttered, “It’s better to use the Cang Shu to make a thick soup and wash it with the Cang Shu for two copper coins, musk for two cents, boiling water to mix it…”

David Marrow looked down and saw that not only did Quentin Parker write the prescription, but he also wrote the usage carefully.

He could not help but be stunned.

“You haven’t even met the patient and you’ve already written a prescription?”

“Didn’t you already describe it to me? The patient’s abdomen is as hard as iron and stone. Water comes out of the navel and transforms into the form of an insect. It wraps around the body and bites. The pain is unbearable, and it can’t be swept away… This is a classic case of abdominal sturdiness. After knowing the symptoms, just prescribe the appropriate medicine. It doesn’t matter if you see it or not.”

“Yes…”

David Marrow took the prescription and went down.

The patients who received the prescription were dumbfounded.

“Dr. Marrow, are you sure you’re not joking with me?”

“I’m sure of it. The medicine that Doctor Mu prescribed will definitely cure your illness! If it still doesn’t work, come and look for me directly. I’ll personally compensate you double the money you used to spend in our Herbathrive!”

David Marrow was the only employee in Herbathrive who knew Quentin Parker’s identity. Naturally, he dared to guarantee this.

The patient had already seen several doctors in Herbathrive, but the effect was not obvious. This time, he was still skeptical.

“Then I’ll believe you for the last time… If the medicine prescribed by Doctor Mu still doesn’t work, I don’t want you to compensate me. You want me to cut the queue and register me to assign me to Miss Fox.”

“No problem!”

It was publicly acknowledged that Melody Fox was difficult to hang up. After receiving David Marrow’s answer, the patient took the prescription and went to get the medicine.

On the other side, in the backyard.

As soon as Quentin Parker left, Melody Fox began to investigate the house for sale around Silverlake.

The houses she had bought before were all suites, or the one in Ford Nelson, courtyard house. It did not meet her master’s requirements.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Melody Fox called Nana Jensen.

“Nana, I need your help with something…”

After explaining the purpose of the call, Nana Jensen readily agreed.

“Leave this to me. Give me ten minutes, and I’ll get someone to find the most suitable house for you. Oh right, is there a price requirement?”

“No, no matter how expensive it is, as long as the other conditions are met.”

“No problem!”

Not long after the call ended, before ten minutes had passed, Nana Jensen called.

“Sister Melody, I’ve found it for you. It’s just that the price is a little high. It costs nine digits…”

“Like I said, price isn’t a problem. Which neighborhood?”

“Left Antin Zhi. It’s a place directly opposite Mr. Swanson’s Serenity Villa.”

Melody Fox had an impression of that villa area. She asked, Can we go and see the houses now?”

“Of course. I happen to have a free time now. Shall we meet at Zuo’an Tingzhi’s sales office?”

“Okay.”

Melody Fox cut off the call and walked out like the wind. “Aaron Berg, let’s go to Tingzhi.”

“Yes!”

After Aaron Berg and Melody Fox, who were waiting in the car, sat down, they immediately stepped on the accelerator.

Chapter 840

Zuo’an Tingzhi was very close to Ken Swanson, where she used to live in Serenity Villa.

As soon as the car arrived nearby, Melody Fox felt a sense of familiarity.

Speaking of which, it had been a while since she last saw Susan. After she bought the house later, she would go and take a look at Susan.

After the car was parked, Aaron Berg pointed to a sales office not far ahead and said, “That’s Zuo’an Tingzhi’s sales office. I don’t know if you know, but this is the Swanson Group’s property. If you want to buy a house, you can actually call Sir. As far as I know, we don’t sell the best floors here. It’s the Swanson family’s own use.”

“Is that so?”

Melody Fox really didn’t know about this, so she called Ken Swanson.

Ken Swanson was choosing a gift in the mall.

Although it was said that he was choosing a gift, he actually did not need to shop at all. After entering the mall, he directly sat in the VIP reception room of the mall. The person in charge of the mall would naturally bring the eligible gift to the reception room for Ken Swanson to choose from.

When he saw Melody’s call, Ken Swanson waved for the person in charge to step aside and asked gently, “What’s wrong?”

The person in charge, who had retreated to the door, rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Was this still the cold Mr. Swanson from before?

Was there something wrong with his eyes?

The person-in-charge wanted to see more clearly, but he was “invited” out by Ken Swanson’s subordinates.

“Manager Chen, our young master has something to deal with. Please wait outside.”

The person-in-charge bowed repeatedly and did not dare to take another look. He quickly rolled out of the reception room and waited.

On the other end of the phone, Melody Fox briefly explained the situation and said, “Since I’ve decided to buy it for my Master, I want to choose the best for him. Can you…” “I can.”

Ken Swanson agreed without waiting for Melody Fox to finish. He said, “What’s so difficult about that? It’s just a house. I’ll give it to you. Get Aaron Berg to bring you in. I’ll authorize him to give it to you. I’ll get the manager to give you the key directly.”

“Don’t,” Melody Fox insisted. “This is the first time in my life that I’ve had the chance to be filial to my master. Don’t snatch this opportunity away from me. As long as you give me the right to buy a house, I’ll pay for it.”

“Alright, you can pay now. I’ll reimburse you when we get home. This can be considered your filial piety.”

“You are really…” Melody Fox shook her head helplessly.

“It’s settled then. I’m now authorizing Aaron Berg to purchase an internal private house. You can choose a set that you like. However, the Swanson Group’s system is relatively old. It will take more than ten minutes for the authorization to succeed. You’ll have to wait for a while.”

“It’s fine. I don’t need ten minutes. It just so happens that Nana Jensen isn’t here yet. I’ll go to the sales office and see which one I like first.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

After the call ended, Melody Fox received another call from Nana Jensen.

“Sister Melody, I’m on the Silverlake bridge. There’s a car accident ahead. There’s a traffic jam here, so I might be late.”

“It’s okay. I’ll wait for you at the sales office.”

“Alright, I’ll be there as soon as possible.”

Melody Fox hung up the phone. Seeing that Aaron Berg was about to follow her out with his laptop, she quickly stopped him and said, “You can operate in the car. There are too many people in the sales office. It’s better not to let others see these internal matters lest it’s too high-profile.”

“Yes, then I’ll come to you when I’ve authorized it.”

Melody Fox nodded, opened the car door, and walked towards the sales office.

Aaron Berg was parked fifty meters away from the sales office, in the blind spot of the people at the entrance of the sales office.

Therefore, when Melody Fox walked to the door of the sales office, the salesperson at the door thought that she had walked over.

The salesperson looked at her face and her incomparably ordinary clothes. He immediately frowned in disdain and made a judgment in his heart: This person can’t afford their Zuo’an Tingzhi’s house at all.

Hence, the salesperson spoke bluntly and reminded her in an arrogant tone, “Miss, this is Zuo’an Tingzhi, not an ordinary building. If you can’t afford it, don’t waste our time.”

Melody Fox stopped in her tracks and looked at the salesperson in amusement. “I’ve met someone like you at a sales office before. I’m afraid she can’t survive in Silverlake anymore. Are you sure you want to be the second her?” The salesperson frowned and looked her up and down. Could he be someone who looked poor but was actually very rich…

Thinking of this possibility, the salesperson coughed dryly and said, “Then do as you please!”

Melody Fox did not want to waste a single minute on such a snob, so she did not want to pursue the matter and walked in.

However, she had only taken two steps when she heard a car speeding towards her. As it drove, it honked hard. Melody Fox turned around and saw that it was a pink Maserati. Nana Jensen’s favorite color was pink, so she thought it was Nana Jensen. She stopped and waited.

However, when the car door opened, an unfamiliar woman appeared.

The woman was wearing ten-centimeter high heels and a tight black strapless dress. She was also wearing a fur coat on a hot day. Her entire outfit could be summarized in one word: expensive.

However, once a person wore clothes that did not suit their aura, they would change from “human clothes” to “human clothes horse”. They would look out of place.

The woman in front of her was a classic example of someone horse-wearing clothes.

Seeing that she had recognized the wrong person, Melody Fox turned around and was about to walk towards the sales office.

However, the other party took a few steps forward and quickly blocked her path.

Melody Fox looked up at the woman in high heels who was shorter than her and asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?”

The woman flipped her hair and said unhappily, “Didn’t you hear me honking just now?”

“I heard you. What happened next?”

When the woman saw Melody Fox’s cold attitude, she frowned.

“And then? What kind of attitude is that? It’s not easy for me to drive in high heels. You were standing in the middle of the road just now, causing me to almost hit you. Do you know that? If I hit you, I would have to waste my precious time dealing with car insurance and repairs. Do you know how precious my time is?”

Melody Fox was speechless.

“You’re the one with the problem, not me.”

“You…”

Melody Fox didn’t give her a chance to speak and continued, “Firstly, it’s basic common sense for someone in high heels not to drive. I don’t have to pay for your brainlessness.

Secondly, I’m standing at the entrance of the sales office. Motor and other vehicles aren’t allowed to enter here. Thirdly, I don’t know you. How would I know how precious your time is? What does it have to do with me?”

The woman’s face turned green with anger at Melody Fox’s reasonable rebuttal.

“B*tch! Do you know who I am? How dare you speak to me like this! I’m Shen Qiqin, and Shen Dongfeng from the Research Institute is my father! Open your dog’s eyes and take a good look. I’m not someone you can afford to offend!”

Chapter 841

Melody Fox remained expressionless.

“Shen Dongfeng? I’m sorry, I’ve never heard of this name.”

However, speaking of the research institute, wasn’t the director her godfather, Ander Morgan?

“You!!!-“

She was so angry that her chest heaved up and down violently.

She groveled at people of higher status than her, but she would not tolerate such an ugly person who looked extremely poor.

“It’s your fault anyway! You have to apologize to me!”

The salesperson was waiting for her at the entrance. When she heard that the woman in front of her was her, she quickly went up to her and said, “Hello, Miss Shen! Please calm down. I’m a salesperson who spoke to you on the phone. This is my business card…”

She glanced at the name on the business card and said haughtily, “Oh, so you’re Lil Xu. Ask your staff member to apologize to me immediately. Otherwise, this matter won’t end here!”

Salesman Xu said awkwardly, “Miss Shen, you’ve misunderstood. She… isn’t one of our staff.”

“Huh? Then why is she here?”

She was a little slow to react. She looked at Melody Fox in amusement and said, “Don’t tell me you want to buy Zuo’an Tingzhi’s house?”

“Can’t I?”

“Hahahaha…” As if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, she burst into tears of laughter.

She used her fingers to tap her tears of laughter a few times and turned to Salesman Xu. “Xiao Xu, I’ve seen on the news that some homeless people and downtrodden ghosts like to go to 4S shops and sales offices to freeload.

I think she’s such a person. Hurry up and help me chase her away. I feel unlucky just looking at her!”

Sales Xu himself did not believe that Melody Fox had the ability to buy a house here.

She didn’t have any branded clothes on her, and her shoes looked like they were covered in oil stains. Even if the rich pretended to be poor, they wouldn’t wear such dirty shoes. Now that she had reminded her and scrutinized Melody Fox again, he immediately believed that he had been intimidated by this ugly monster.

Thinking of this, Salesman Xu’s face darkened as he glared at Melody Fox and said, “Miss, before I call the security guards to chase you away, you’d better leave yourself! Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t look good when you make a fuss.”

Melody Fox knew that Salesman Xu would say that when he looked at him again.

Unfortunately, the other party had really misjudged him. Although the clothes she was wearing were not a luxury item that the public was familiar with, Ken Swanson had asked the top international designers to specially design them for her. There was only one such piece in the world, and it could not be bought with money.

As for the shoes, they were dirty because she had not had the time to wipe them clean.

She originally thought that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble and did not want to argue with these two people.

However, looking at the two of them now, if she did not make things clear, she would probably be in endless trouble.

After hesitating for a while, Melody Fox chose the simplest method and introduced herself. “Shen Qiqin, right? I’m Melody Fox, and Ander Morgan is my godfather. Speaking of which, we’re all on the same side. On account of my godfather, I don’t want to quarrel with you. Let’s just forget about this matter. Let’s each take a step back. I won’t pursue your responsibility.”

Stunned for a moment, she looked at Melody Fox in disbelief.

She had also heard about Melody Fox from her father. It was said that he was an ugly girl from the countryside.

Country bumpkin, ugly freak… and the name. It did seem to fit.

She narrowed her eyes coldly and stared at Melody Fox with obvious hostility.

“I was wondering who it was that dared to be so disrespectful to me. So it’s you, a country bumpkin! Didn’t your godfather tell you that he’s going to step down as the dean soon?”

Melody Fox’s expression darkened.

She thought that Ander Morgan should have a good relationship with her father, so she did not want to have too much conflict with her. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Ander Morgan to be caught in the middle.

But wasn’t that the case?

Their eyes met, and a silent smoke rose.

“You two… know each other?” Sales Manager Xu asked in bewilderment.

She let out a cold laugh and said, “She has an ugly reputation, so how could I not know her? I’m just reminding you out of the kindness of my heart. Let alone her, even her godfather, who pretends to be clean and honest, can’t afford to buy a house here.”

Although Ander Morgan was the director, he was extremely hypocritical. He never worked with merchants on projects, so his wallet was not as big as her father’s.

Even the house where Ander Morgan lived was given to him by the officials a few years ago.

Moreover, his father had deliberately designed it. Only Ander Morgan could get that suite.

Of course, she would not say these words out loud.

“Then…?” Salesman Xu asked with a probing look.

She raised her chin slightly and said, “Ignore her! She wasted time! Hurry up and go in. I’m in a hurry to buy a house.”

Salesman Xu nodded repeatedly and led the way in front of her.

Melody Fox pursed her lips slightly. Her words reminded her that she was here to buy a house for her master, not to quarrel.

Business was more important. She would ask Ander Morgan about Shen Qiqin and Shen Dongfeng’s matters after she was done.

At the thought of this, she could not be bothered to waste her breath on her and walked in.

There was a coffee and water bar in the sales office. As soon as she entered, a waiter from the coffee water bar immediately served her a cup of hot coffee water.

“It’s Miss Shen, right? Welcome to Zuo’an Tingzhi’s sales office. This is the new coffee. Try it.”

With her nose in the air, she arrogantly reached out to take it.

However, when she looked up, she saw that the person holding the coffee had sent another glass of coffee to Melody Fox. She immediately put down the glass unhappily and said, “Look carefully. She’s not with me.”

The waiter was stunned for a moment, but she still handed the coffee in her hand to Melody Fox and said politely, ” Please have it.”

Seeing this, her face immediately sank.

Shopkeeper Xu looked down with concern. He walked over and reprimanded the waiter.

“How tactless! Can’t you see that Miss Shen is unhappy? If you anger Miss Shen, I’ll get the manager to fire you immediately when he comes back!”

The waiter was shocked, but she still insisted on her principles. “My job is to serve coffee and water to guests who come in. Those who come in are guests. I can’t favor one over the other…”

“I think you’re crazy! Does she look like someone who can afford a house? Since she can’t afford it, she’s not our guest!”

The waiter gritted his teeth and said, “But I don’t think I did anything wrong…”

“You…!” Salesman Xu was so angry that his hands were clenched into fists.

Noticing the stubborn look on the other party’s face, she said with a dark expression, “Xiao Xu, if you don’t fire this kind of person immediately, what are you waiting for? Are you going to keep her for the new year?”

Salesman Xu put on a fawning smile and said, “You’re right, but I don’t have the authority… But when the manager comes back, I’ll get the manager to fire her.”

When the waiter heard this, her face turned pale.

Chapter 842

The waiter clenched her fists tightly.

The reason why she came here to work was because she urgently needed money to treat her brother. Because of this, she even dropped out of school.

Zuo’an Tingzhi’s sales office was not like other places. Even if she was a waiter at a coffee and water bar, her salary and tips would still be more than $10,000 a month.

She relied on the money she earned from Zuo’an Tingzhi to pay the hospital fees. If she lost this job, she might lose her brother’s life.

The waiter questioned indignantly, “Salesman Xu, I didn’t do anything wrong. Why will you ask the manager to fire me?”

“Why? Just because you didn’t have eyes and offended the wrong person!”

Salesman Xu glared at the waiter, but the moment he turned his head, he immediately put on a fawning smile. “Ms. Shen, let’s start looking at houses now, shall we? You can first look at which area of villas you like, and then we’ll go and look at the real estate. The decoration style of every villa in our Zuo’an Tingzhi is different, so I suggest you choose a location first before choosing the renovation.” She raised her eyebrows in satisfaction and began to choose a villa under Sales Manager Xu’s introduction.

After what happened with the waiter just now, Melody Fox was completely ignored.

No one dared to take the risk of losing this high-paying job and look for trouble.

Melody Fox naturally knew what the others were thinking, but she did not care at all.

Her gaze swept across the sales office and finally stopped on the waiter from before.

Although she looked like she was about to cry, she had never blamed her from the beginning to the end. When she looked at her, she even tried her best to squeeze out a smile, as if telling her not to blame herself. It could be seen that she was a good person.

Melody Fox had always been a guard. When she saw this scene, she waved at the waiter.

After the other party walked over in confusion, she asked, How should I address you?”

“My name is Wenwen…”

Melody Fox nodded. She did not reveal her identity as the Swanson Group, Mrs. Swanson. She only said, “Wenwen, right? My surname is Fox. Now, I need a salesperson to show me the house. Can you accept my order?”

The waiter named Wenwen, instantly widened her eyes in surprise.

However, the light in her eyes dimmed again. She shook her head and said, “I’m just a waiter here. I’m not qualified to be a salesperson here…”

“You fight for the opportunity yourself. It depends on whether you want it or not. If you accept my order, I think the manager here will definitely not fire you. He might even promote you. So… do you want this opportunity?”

Wenwen was silent for two seconds. Suddenly, she clenched her fists and said, “Miss Fox, I’ll show you the house! Although I’m not professional enough, I’ve practiced the basics myself.”

“Very well.”

Melody Fox nodded and said, “You can start now.”

On the other end of the line, the sharp-eared woman heard this and burst out laughing.

“Shameless! One dares to say it, and the other dares to accept it.”

Sales Manager Xu smiled and said, “Miss Shen, if she wants to put on an act, just let her. Anyway, they’re just wasting their own disaster.”

She chuckled and ignored Melody Fox. Pointing at a villa on the sand table, she asked, “Have you sold that one?”

“This…” Salesman Xu said awkwardly, “This is a villa in Area A. It’s the best location for our Zuo’an Tingzhi. You have to hold an exclusive purchase slot to buy it.”

She knitted her brows and said, “I know that Zuo’an Tingzhi’s villa requires a quota to be bought. Didn’t I send my exclusive purchase quota to you on my phone?”

Salesman Xu quickly explained, “You sent me exclusive purchasing slots from Area B to Area F. Within this range, you can choose whatever you like. But Area A…”

She pulled a long face again.

But this was Zuo’an Tingzhi, the territory of the Swanson Group. She was still not good enough in front of the Swanson Group.

She had even put in a lot of effort to obtain the right to purchase from Area B to Area F.

Therefore, no matter how unhappy she was, she could only choose from Area B to Area F.

“Alright! I understand!”

She let out a frustrated breath. However, at this moment, she saw Melody Fox walk to the seat opposite her. She pointed at the most central area of Area A, where the view and renovation were the best. “This is not bad. Has anyone bought it?”

“Pfft-“

She burst out laughing.

She couldn’t help but mock, “Hey, country bumpkin, didn’t you hear what Xiao Xu said just now? That can only be bought with the exclusive purchasing rights of Area A. Even I can’t get the right to buy it, let alone you? I advise you to stop pretending here. I don’t think you even have the right to buy from Area B to Area F, right? No one will laugh at you if you leave immediately. It might not be the case when you reach Area Fox.”

Melody Fox said with a faint smile, “Miss Shen, you should choose your house carefully. You don’t have to worry about me.”

“You… very good. Don’t blame me for not reminding you!

When the manager here arrives later, let’s see how you can continue to pretend!”

She really did not understand. Wasn’t Ander Morgan’s square meters Fox pretty smart? Why was it that his adopted daughter was dumber than a pig?

She rolled her eyes and pointed to a relatively good area in Area B, saying, “I want that one. Show me the interior design.”

“Yes.” Sales Manager Xu quickly took out his tablet for her to choose from.

“The piece you chose has a total of two renovation styles. I personally feel that this postmodern style is more suitable for you…

She seemed to be listening attentively, but her ears were involuntarily paying attention to the situation on Melody Fox’s side.

Melody Fox said, “Wenwen, let me ask you. Has anyone bought that set?”

“As far as I know, there isn’t… However, Miss Shen didn’t lie to you. This place does require an exclusive purchasing qualification. Do you want to take a look elsewhere? Actually, there are also good seats elsewhere.”

“There’s no need. Since no one is buying it, you can take me to see the house directly. Don’t worry, I have the right to buy it.”

Wenwen nodded vigorously. She believed in Miss Fox.

She had a feeling that Miss Fox somehow made her want to believe her. Besides, she had no other way out other than to believe Miss Fox.

“Miss Fox, please wait a moment. I’ll go get the key.”

After Wenwen finished speaking, she quickly walked up to Salesman Xu and said, “Salesman Xu, please give me the key to that villa.”

“Really?” Salesman Xu looked at Wenwen as if she were a stupid pig. “You’re not really stupid enough to take her to see the houses in Area A, are you? Although you’re not a salesperson, you’ve worked here for a while, so you more or less know that Area A is not something ordinary people are qualified to buy and afford.”

Wenwen did not hear what Salesman Xu said at all. She only repeated, “Salesman Xu, please give me the key to that suite.”

ด

Chapter 843

“Wretched girl…” Salesman Xu was about to scold Wenwen for being a blockhead.

However, on second thought, Wenwen was just messing around. When the manager came back, she would have a better reason to get the manager to fire Wenwen.

Salesman Xu did not like Wenwen in the first place, because this girl looked silly, but she did things without hesitation. Her appearance was even more beautiful than his, and she was a university student-the kind who had dropped out of school without obtaining a diploma.

Leaving such a beautiful university student in the sales office, what if Wenwen got the manager’s favor one day and stepped on him to get to the top?

When that time came, it was up to Wenwen to decide if he could still stay here and work.

She did not want to see such a thing happen!

Salesman Xu quickly analyzed in his mind and decisively stopped scolding Wenwen. He nimbly handed the key to Wenwen.

“I’m warning you. If anything in the house is damaged, according to the employee contract, you will have to bear the responsibility with the guests.”

“Don’t worry, Salesman Xu. I’ll definitely pay attention.” Wenwen took the key and turned around without saying anything else. She brought Melody Fox to the house she had her eyes on.

“Idiot! Do you really think you can sell the house? You can’t be without discernment in the sales industry.”

Sales Manager Xu secretly cursed Wenwen in his heart. Just as he was about to turn around and ask her if she was sure that she wanted to buy that villa, he heard her ask first, “I’m not qualified to buy that house, but I can at least take a look, right?”

Sales Manager Xu was stunned for a moment. Under her half-squinted gaze, he said, “There’s no rule that forbids people from seeing it.”

“Then let’s go! I’ll go see your building king and the two houses I’ve chosen. I’ll make a decision after I’ve seen them in person.”

“Alright, this way please.”

Salesman Xu hurriedly led the way in front of her.

The two of them quickly caught up to Melody Fox and Wenwen.

On the way, Melody Fox asked Wenwen why she didn’t go to school at her age and worked as a waiter at Coffee and Water Bar.

Wenwen lowered her eyes and said, “I was originally a student at Insterimond University. According to the timeline, I should be in my third year now… But my brother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. Every month, he had to spend a lot of money on medical fees. In addition, my father left early, so my family really couldn’t afford it, therefore, I had to drop out of school to work here.”

Melody Fox nodded and asked in a seemingly unintentional manner, “May I ask what illness your brother has?”

Wenwen shook her head and said, “Miss Fox, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but the doctors don’t know what illness my brother has. The doctors in First Hospital only said that it’s a rare illness. Not many people in history have had it.”

When Melody Fox heard this, she said, “Then give me a contact number after I buy a house. I’ll visit your brother when I’m free.”

However, Wenwen had obviously misunderstood her meaning. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, “No, no, no… I’m already very grateful that you gave me the chance to accompany you to see your house. How can I let you visit my brother again?”

Melody Fox could only explain, “You misunderstand. I’m a doctor. Who knows, I might be able to cure your brother?”

“This…” Wenwen wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she gave Melody Fox the address.

Melody Fox knew that Wenwen did not believe that she could cure her brother’s illness.

She understood very well. After all, First Hospital had already determined that it was a rare illness. How could someone who did not look much older than her treat her brother?

But there was always a ‘what if’.

Even if she couldn’t do it, didn’t she still have a master?

Since Wenwen could meet her, it meant that she had a medical relationship with her brother, so she would help if she could.

Behind the two of them, Shen Qiqin’s eyes were filled with ridicule when she heard the entire conversation.

Interesting, really interesting.

This was the first time she had seen someone brag so seriously.

If her father had not investigated Melody Fox, she would have believed her.

It was impossible for Melody Fox to have enough money to buy a villa in Area A. Even if she had enough money, she would not have the right to buy it.

Ander Morgan had always prided himself on being noble and proud. It was definitely impossible for him to find someone to get the right to buy a house for his goddaughter.

Why wasn’t Zuo’an Tingzhi’s manager here yet?

She could not wait to see the expression on Melody Fox’s face when he was exposed as a pauper.

It would definitely be exciting!

“We’re here. It’s this building.” Wenwen gestured for him to wait and walked over to open the door with the key.

Melody Fox looked up and observed the villa. The villa had a total of three floors. The top floor was a sunroom with very good lighting. Outside the first floor was a courtyard that was not small. It was filled with beautiful and expensive flowers.

Most importantly, the house was in a neo-Chinese style.

If she remembered correctly, her master quite liked this style. “Miss Fox, please.”

Wenwen opened the door and gestured for Melody Fox to enter. Behind her, Salesman Xu took a few steps forward and bumped into her with his shoulder. Then, he smiled obsequiously and waved at her.

“Miss Shen, please come in.”

Wenwen rubbed her shoulder in pain and said to Melody Fox, “Miss Fox, let’s go in too.”

“Wait.”

“Yes?”

Wenwen looked at Melody Fox in confusion and realized that the word “wait” was not directed at her but at Salesman Xu.

Salesman Xu asked with a half-smile, “What’s the matter?”

Melody Fox took two steps forward expressionlessly and stood in front of Salesman Xu.

“You bumped into her. Apologize.”

“Hehe.” Salesman Xu laughed and asked, “She hasn’t even said anything. What right do you have to make me apologize? Besides, I didn’t bump into her. She was the one who blocked the way. How can I blame her… Ahhh! What are you doing?! Put me down!”

Before Salesman Xu could finish speaking, Melody Fox grabbed his collar and lifted him up like he was a little chick.

Salesman Xu’s feet were in the air, and his face instantly turned pale from fear!

He also widened his eyes in shock, his eyeballs almost popping out.

This ugly freak who looked so weak actually had such strong arm strength!

He subconsciously shrunk his neck, afraid that Melody Fox would pick him up from the ground.

“Apologize!” Melody Fox spoke again. The powerful pressure in her tone was unquestionable.

Salesman Xu was so scared that he was sweating all over. He closed his eyes and shouted, “I…-I’m sorry! Put me down!”

Only then did Melody Fox let go. Xu Shangdun fell to the ground.

“Let’s go.” Melody Fox waved at the dumbfounded Wenwen and strode into the villa.

The villa was exquisitely renovated, but the quality and aesthetics were very good. It was impossible to see how it was perfunctory. Moreover, from the details, it was not difficult to tell that they had put a lot of effort into the renovation.

Moreover, the villa had an underground floor. The underground floor was divided into two. On one side was the garage, and on the other side was the living room and play area. The decorations were very high-end.

No wonder the price was so high. It was not a sky-high price.

Chapter 844

Melody Fox had already decided on this villa after walking around the first and basement floors.

Just as she was about to go up to the second and third floors to take a look, salesperson Xu recovered from his shock.

She rushed to Melody Fox angrily, pointed at her nose, and scolded, “B*tch! How dare you hit me?! You have to apologize to me! Otherwise, this matter will not end!”

Melody Fox met Salesman Xu’s gaze indifferently and retaliated with his own words-

“When did I hit you? Why should I apologize to you?

Besides, you were the one who blocked my way. How can you blame me?”

“You…-” Salesman Xu was so angry that his face turned green.

He raised his hand to slap Melody Fox, but from the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar figure walking over.

It was the manager!

Sales Manager Xu suddenly had an idea. Before the manager could approach, he pushed down the vase behind Melody Fox and shouted, “Someone! Someone destroyed the villa!”

It happened so suddenly that Melody Fox did not expect Salesman Xu to do this at all. Therefore, by the time she realized what Salesman Xu wanted to do, the vase had already fallen to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

She frowned slightly, but then she thought of something and slowly relaxed her brows.

However, Wenwen was scared out of her wits. She also realized that Salesman Xu was trying to frame them. She subconsciously reached out to cover Salesman Xu’s mouth. “Don’t talk nonsense…”

“Wu wu wu, let, wu wu… open me…”

Zuo’an Tingzhi’s manager heard the commotion and came in. He saw the scene of Xu Wenwen covering his mouth.

He immediately flew into a rage and quickly stepped forward to pull Wenwen away.

“Zhang Wenwen, what are you doing?! What’s with the vase on the floor?!”

One had to know that in their villa in Area A, even a blade of grass or a tree was worth a lot of money. This vase was obviously expensive.

Before Wenwen could say anything, Xu Fei spoke up first.

“Manager, the two of them broke the vase and didn’t let me call for help. You saw it just now. She covered my mouth and didn’t let me speak! Miss Shen can also testify for me!” She hesitated for two seconds when her name was called. Then, she nodded and said, “That’s right. I can testify for her. The vase was broken by the two of them.”

“You are… Miss Shen Qiqin?” The manager had received a call from Salesman Xu early in the morning and knew that the esteemed guest, Shen Qiqin, was there, so he hurried back.

She nodded. “That’s right.”

“Hello, Miss Shen. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.”

“It’s alright. You don’t have to worry about me. Let’s settle this matter first. I can vouch for Sales Xu. She has nothing to do with this.”

“Alright, Miss Shen. I know what’s going on.”

The manager thanked her and looked at Wenwen with a dark expression.

“Zhang Wenwen, I saw that you were hardworking and capable. Coupled with the fact that your family’s situation was not good, I reluctantly recruited you. Is this how you repay my kindness? Do you know that this vase costs at least six figures?!”

Wenwen quickly explained, “No, manager, we didn’t break the vase. It was Salesman Xu who deliberately broke the vase to frame Miss Fox and me.”

Only then did the manager notice that there was another person standing beside Wenwen.

Because Melody Fox hadn’t said anything just now, the manager subconsciously ignored her.

Now that he noticed Melody Fox, the manager immediately sized her up without batting an eyelid.

As the manager of Zuo’an Tingzhi’s sales office, he was much more knowledgeable than Sales Xu.

This seemingly ordinary woman’s temperament was not something ordinary people could have.

Moreover, the clothes she was wearing did not look like luxury goods, but from the fabric, it was obvious that the white shirt inside was expensive.

Therefore, after sizing up Melody Fox, the manager did not show any disdain. Instead, he asked politely, “May I ask who you are?”

Melody Fox said calmly, “My surname is Fox. I’m here to buy a house today.”

“I see… Then may I ask about this vase…”

“Manager, didn’t I tell you just now that she was the one who broke the vase? Why? Do you not believe my words and think that I’m lying to you?”

Cold sweat broke out on the manager’s forehead.

“Miss Shen, what are you talking about? How could I dare to think that you’re lying to me? It’s just that I have to understand what’s going on, right?”

Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and looked at the manager. At least this manager was still a normal person.

However, this manager was probably a spy. If she hadn’t seen that the clothes she was wearing weren’t cheap, he wouldn’t have asked this question.

“Haha.”

She sneered and said, “How can someone who broke a vase admit it? Do you think the two of them look like people who can afford to compensate for this vase?”

Qin Ping Fox was mostly in the laboratory, so the clothes she wore were all laboratory uniforms. Hence, she did not know much about clothes, let alone aesthetics.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be wearing an autumn and winter fur coat to make herself look noble.

“Well …”

The manager was a smart person. He did not deny her words, but he did not answer her either. He only said, There’s only Miss Fox here who hasn’t spoken. Miss Fox, tell me what’s going on.”

Melody Fox said calmly, “I didn’t break this vase, but I don’t care if it’s broken or not. Anyway, it’s not something particularly worth collecting. It’ll be thrown away sooner or later.”

The manager was stunned and asked, “What do you mean?”

He could understand every word, but he didn’t understand them when he connected them.

Melody Fox patiently explained, “Zuo’an Tingzhi is exquisitely renovated. Everything placed here now belongs to the owner, right?”

That’s right, it is. So?”

Melody Fox continued, “I’ve already decided to buy this house. This vase is equivalent to mine. Do you understand what I mean now?”

The manager was enlightened, and his eyes immediately lit up.

“Do you want to buy this place? This is the building king of our Zuo’an Tingyi. The price is also the highest in Zuo’an Tingyi…”

“You heard right.”

“Pfft-” She burst out laughing.

She walked forward in her high heels and said to the manager, “Manager, she’s feeling guilty and afraid, so she deliberately bragged that she wanted to buy this villa so that you wouldn’t pursue the matter of the vase she broke.”

“This…” The manager looked at the two of them in bewilderment. He did not know who to believe.

But it was obvious that he was starting to waver.

She quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued, “I’ll tell you the truth. I know her. Her name is Melody Fox. She came from the countryside a few months ago. Her father is the chairman of the Justalion Group. However, more than a month ago, her father chased her out of the house and severed their father-daughter relationship. Now… do you still believe what she said?”

Chapter 845

“Did you get kicked out of the house?”

The manager was surprised, but he also understood why the clothes Melody Fox was wearing looked expensive.

From the looks of it, he was either brought out by his family or dressed up.

Since that was the case, there was no need for him to continue asking.

The manager looked at Melody Fox with a cold expression.

“Melody Fox, right? Is there a point in playing with me like this?”

“I’m not fooling you. I do want to buy this house.”

“Heh! Is that so?” The manager smiled and said, “Our house is priced at 40 million dollars yuan. Coupled with some purchase taxes, it costs at least 40 million dollars yuan. Are you sure you can afford this?”

“She can’t afford it!” She added fuel to the fire. “I’m afraid all the money she has on her doesn’t add up to more than 2, 000 dollars, right?”

Melody Fox asked in amusement, “How do you know that I can’t afford it? Are you a roundworm in my stomach?” “You’re the worm! Show me 40 million dollars if you can!”

Melody Fox raised his eyebrows and asked, “What would you say if I took it out?”

“If you take it out, I’ll walk out of here upside down!” “Very good. I hope you keep your promise.” Melody Fox nodded and asked the manager, “Did you bring the card reader? You can try deducting my 40 million dollars first.” “I brought it!” Zhang Wenwen took a few steps forward and took out the card machine that she had brought over.

“I’ll do it.” The manager snatched the card reader and held out his hand to Melody Fox. “Where’s the card?” Melody Fox took out his card bag.

She couldn’t be bothered to look for a card and said directly, “Take any card you want!”

In any case, she had more than 40 million dollars yuan in cash on each of her seven or eight cards.

When the manager saw Melody Fox’s calm expression, he was also surprised.

Could it be that she could really afford it?

After hesitating for a moment, the manager decided to swipe her card to take a look.

He took out a card that seemed to have been used the most. Just as he inserted the card into the card machine and was about to deduct the fee, the back of his hand was pressed down by Melody Fox.

“This one won’t do. Let’s change it.”

Coincidentally, the card was given to her by Quentin Parker. She had no idea how much money was inside, but she knew that it was impossible for there to be so much money. At most, it would only cost twenty thousand dollars yuan.

However, Melody Fox’s obstruction made the manager and the woman firmly believe that she was just putting on an act because she did not have the money to buy a house. The manager’s face darkened. “Miss Fox, is there any meaning to this? Do you want me to call the police?”

Melody Fox frowned and said, “I’m just asking you to change your card. What do you mean by ‘is this interesting’?” “Change your card? I’m afraid that even if you change this card, you’ll still have to change the next one. If you don’t have money, so be it. Why are you pretending? Aren’t you delaying all of our time? It’s just a vase. If you go and get a loan, you’ll only lose this money. If you really make a scene at the police station, I’m afraid you won’t be able to come out for a few years.”

After saying that, the manager pulled down the card and was about to return it to Melody Fox.

However, right at this moment, the card reader beeped twice and began to automatically print the receipt.

The manager’s eyes suddenly widened. His pupils were so shocked that they quickly locked into a small dot.

The card machine would only start printing the receipts if the deduction fee was successful.

“This… how is this possible?” He murmured, leaning forward in disbelief.

When he saw the deduction fee of 40 million dollars on the receipt, he was so shocked that he almost fainted. This b*tch actually had 40 million dollars points!

Since she had money, why did she have that expression just now that made people think that she had no money on her card?

Was she playing with him on purpose?!

However, Melody Fox was also surprised.

Her master’s card actually had so much money…

Was this still the same master who disguised himself to sell 2$ worth of tofu in town and deliberately used beans to exchange for tofu instead of spending money to buy it?

With 40 million dollars, why would he care about those $2?!

It made her think that her master was poor and did not have much money.

It turned out that his master was just pretending to be poor!

Later on, on the way back, she called her master to ask about this. She heard Quentin Parker talking about his educational insights rather proudly. “I already said that children have to be raised poor to be successful. Look, looking at you now, it shows that my educational skills are not bad.”

Melody Fox’s expression was ice-cold.

Of course, that was a story for another time.

Melody Fox raised her head and saw him glaring at her with hatred. It was obvious that she was saying that she was teasing him just now.

However, she really did not know if her master’s card had enough money to pay 40 million dollars.

However, Melody Fox was too lazy to explain. She directly asked the manager, “Does this house belong to me now?”

“I do have enough money…”

The manager coughed dryly and naturally regained his initial politeness. He said, “However, I forgot to tell you before that the houses in Area A can’t be bought with money. You also need the exclusive purchasing qualification for Area A. If you don’t have it… I’ll return this 40 million dollars to you now.”

When Shen Qiqin heard this, her originally deaf and long face instantly regained its previous vigor.

“That’s right! You don’t have an exclusive purchase slot. You still have to compensate for this broken vase!”

Now, this vase was no longer a matter of whether Melody Fox could afford it. It was a matter of pride. She had to see Melody Fox apologize for compensating for the vase!

Although Salesman Xu, who was standing behind her, did not say anything, it was obvious that he had the same thoughts as her.

Melody Fox said calmly, “Who said I don’t have the exclusive right to buy it?”

“Haha.”

She laughs.

“Melody Fox, do you know what the exclusive purchasing license looks like? I can also take out 40 million dollars, but not everyone has the right to buy it in Area A. Even I don’t have it, so how can you have it?”

She had thought it through just now.

Ander Morgan was only honest on the surface. He must have accepted a lot of bribes like her father, which was why he had the money to give this adopted daughter so much money.

However, she did not understand what Ander Morgan saw in Melody Fox.

After all, in terms of looks, Melody Fox’s ugly face could be ranked first and last in the socialite circle of Silverlake.

Ander Morgan: Don’t Tell Me You Have Some Fetish For Ugliness?

However, Ander Morgan was not the main point now. The main point was that Ander Morgan would not destroy his good image of being “clean” for Melody Fox and give up his face to ask for the exclusive purchasing rights of Area A.

“Manager, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and ask her to compensate for the vase! If she refuses to compensate, call the police and arrest her on the grounds of destroying property!”

However, after experiencing the 40 million dollar deduction fee, the manager was no longer willing to believe her words.

Even if she was a fool, he could tell that she and Melody Fox were not on good terms.

The manager covered his nose and coughed again. He asked, “Miss Fox, do you really have the exclusive right to buy Area A?”
