Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 856, 857, 858, 859, 860, 861, 862, 863, 864, 865) 

Chapter 856

“Then…”

Melody Fox asked again, “You said that the two of you have never been together, and she’s not your type. Was there a moment when you had feelings for her? Don’t lie to me. I want to hear the truth.”

“No,” Ken Swanson replied seriously and firmly. “Not once. If I had feelings for her, I wouldn’t have stopped pursuing her and not be with her when I knew that she liked me.” “Is there a possibility that although you were tempted, you took family considerations into account, so…”

“There’s no such possibility. That time we are all still students and won’t consider marriage. Naturally, he won’t care about whether or not a family is compatible. Besides, even now, my feelings for you haven’t wavered at all because of the Swanson family and the Fox family.”

Melody Fox could not help but look up at Ken Swanson.

Seeing that his eyes were filled with anxiety and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, she calmed down.

He was in such a hurry to answer her question and explain it to her, which meant he was afraid that she would misunderstand.

He was afraid because he cared.

Melody Fox curved her lower lip and suddenly felt very relaxed.

At first, she thought that Mandy Spence was Ken Swanson’s first love. To a man, first love was extremely lethal.

Since Mandy Spence was not his first love, what else did she have to worry about?

Ken Swanson loved her now, and the position of his wife was also hers. The person she should worry about was Mandy Spence, who is an impostor and who had the heart to do so.

After two seconds of silence, Melody asked, “Did you not look for her after she suddenly left without saying goodbye?”

“I did,” Ken Swanson answered truthfully. “I asked my mentor and asked James Deeds to ask her family. They all said that they didn’t know where she went.”‘

“You didn’t ask James Deeds to keep looking?”

“No.” “Why?”

Ken Swanson lowered his eyes and said guiltily, “It was the time when Ximber Tech was just founded, I didn’t have so much time to think about other things. If…, if my time was a little free, I might be able to help her. At least as her brother, I could help her pay for her school fees.”

After Ken Swanson finished speaking, he was suddenly worried that Melody Fox would be unhappy. However, he saw Melody curl her lower lip. She seemed to be in a good mood.

“?”

His eyes were filled with confusion.

What he didn’t know was that men and women cared about different things. What Melody noticed in Ken Swanson’s words was only the first sentence that Ken Swanson said. -I don’t have that much time to think about other things. In other words, for Ken Swanson, Mandy Spence was not as important as his Ximber Tech.

However, Melody was very sure that in Ken Swanson’s heart, she was more important than Ximber Tech.

Just based on this point alone, she had completely defeated Mandy Spence who was in the past.

“I have one last question,” Melody said again.

“Ask away.”

“Why did you send her home and meet her without telling me?”

Ken Swanson’s eyes were filled with frustration.

“Because I’m stupid. Mango said that she delayed my return home by so much. If you knew that I was sending a girl home, you would be unhappy, so I didn’t say anything. But I swear to God that I didn’t hide it from you on purpose, nor was it because I felt guilty. I was just worried that you would be unhappy. Who would have thought… that you would be even more unhappy?”

A dark glint flashed across Melody’s eyes.

“Mandy Spence told you not to tell me?”

“Yeah.”

Melody nodded meaningfully.

She did not know if this Miss Ruan was really worried that he would be angry, or… she had ulterior motives.

If it was the latter, she didn’t mind bumping into her.

She stood up and said, “I’m done with my questions. Let’s go back to our room.”

Ken Swanson looked at her in shock and asked, “You’re not angry anymore?”

“I’ve already made it clear. What’s there to be angry about? I already know that none of you have anything. You didn’t have anything in the past either. In that case, wouldn’t I become an unreasonable person if I continue to be angry?” Ken Swanson choked. He did not know how to respond to this.

He thought that Melody would be very angry and ignore him for a long time. He might even be angry enough to ask for a divorce.

But she did not. She was very rational and very calm as she ended the conversation.

This made him heave a sigh of relief, but he also felt strange.

Was it because Melody did not like him as much as he liked her passionately, so she did not care if there was anything between him and Mandy Spence?

However, this thought was quickly suppressed by Ken Swanson.

If he liked her more, so be it. It was fine as long as she was fine with him.

Even if he wasn’t demanding, he wanted her to like him as much as he liked her.

After rejecting him once, she accepted him again. This still made him feel like he was in a dream.

He was already very satisfied with the current situation.

Ken Swanson opened his arms to hug Melody, but Melody dodged to the side.

“Haven’t we reconciled yet?” The straight man asked directly.

Melody was amused by Ken Swanson’s straight question. She met Ken Swanson’s puzzled gaze and said, “We’ve reconciled. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not angry. I just have something to show you.”

“What are you going to show me?”

“Follow me.”

Melody walked straight to the dressing table. Under Ken Swanson’s puzzled gaze, she took out the two photos she had originally planned to hide in the drawer.

But now that the misunderstanding in her heart had been resolved, there was no need to keep this photo to disgust her.

“Take a look. Your brother personally sent it to me in our room when you sent Miss Ruan home.”

When Ken Swanson heard this, his expression immediately became serious.

“Let me see.”

He took the photo and took a look at it. His expression instantly darkened.

“This Ulric Swanson…”

The next second, he thought of Melody and became worried again.

“Melody, this isn’t what it looks like. When Mandy drank too much and almost slipped down the steps, I happened to be standing at the bottom of the steps and caught her in passing. It wasn’t that we were hugging, really…”

Melody Fox saw the anxiety on Ken Swanson’s face and smiled.

“I know what’s going on. Don’t be so nervous. Do I look like the kind of person who won’t let you off?”

Only then did Ken Swanson relax.

He held the photo and suddenly seemed to have thought of something. His handsome brows slowly furrowed, and his eyes stared at the photo even more seriously.

“What are you looking at?” Melody Fox teased him. “If you want to see Miss Ruan’s face so badly, why did you come home?”

“It’s not…”

Ken Swanson quickly explained, “I’m looking at the angle of the photo. This angle is the parking lot, but the hotel doesn’t accept other guests that day… So I suspect that the person who took the photo should be one of the people attending the dinner. He sat in the car and found an opportunity to take this photo and sent it to Ulric Swanson.”

Melody also became serious and spoke her thoughts. “Ken Swanson, whether you like it or not, I still have to say it. I think there’s something wrong with Miss Ruan.”

Chapter 857

“There’s a problem? What do you mean?” After a pause, Ken Swanson added, “I’ll listen to everything you say.”

“Stop, let’s get down to business. Don’t play this trick on me. I won’t fall for it.”

Melody Fox pursed her lips. Ken Swanson quickly returned to the main topic.

“What do you think is wrong with her?”

Melody Fox did not answer immediately. She only asked, ” Did you notice anything different about her?”

Ken Swanson thought about it seriously and said, “No, her eating habits are about the same. She likes to eat Mango very much. This hobby is known to all the international students we play with. There were Mango fruits tonight. She finished them all alone.”

“All of it? How much is it?”

“They were peeled and cut into pieces. There are probably five or six Mango fruits in total.”

“Five or six Mango?” Melody Fox raised his eyebrows and reminded Ken Swanson, “She has a different identity now. If she wants to eat Mango, she can eat it every day. She won’ t have to eat so much fruit at such a formal dinner. Moreover, it’s almost the end of the dinner. The sugar content of mango is high. If she still eats so much mango after dinner, she will be bloated.”

Ken Swanson suddenly raised his eyelids.

“Are you suspecting… that she’s not Mango?”

Melody Fox nodded and said, “We can’t rule out this possibility. Otherwise, it’s really too strange. How could a person who is already dead appear alive? And even if she was lucky enough to survive, shouldn’t the first thing she do is take revenge? If I were her, the first thing I would say when I see you would definitely be to reveal Janet Murphy’s true colors, not say that I’m sick or something like that.”

After saying that, Melody Fox noticed the doubt in Ken

Swanson’s eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he repeated what Nana Jensen had told her.

Ken Swanson’s expression turned cold and solemn at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Janet Murphy… pushed her down the back mountain? Are you sure Nana Jensen isn’t lying to you?”

“I’m sure. Nana Jensen is no longer the Nana Jensen of the past. She is a person who experieence how to lost everything and has nowhere to go. As the person who took her in, there’s really no need for her to take such a huge risk to lie to me.”

Ken Swanson tightened his grip on the photo. Veins were bulging on the back of his hand.

“What you mean is that someone deliberately asked her to pretend to be Mango to get close to me. They used Mango to sow discord between us. That’s why this happened. The photo was sent to you. And this person is very likely to be related to Ulric Swanson. It might even be him.”

“I’m not sure who’s behind this, just like you. But there’s something in the world called facial masks. This is what my master has on his face. You’ve seen it with your own eyes.”

Ken Swanson thought of Quentin Parker’s human face mask and nodded with a serious expression. “Indeed. If it weren’t for your master’s strange performance and you personally introducing him to me, I wouldn’t have been able to confirm his identity until now. Because the human face mask on his face is simply too perfect. No one can tell that there’s anything wrong.”

“Therefore, I suspect that the Miss Ruan you saw tonight also has a mask on her face.”

Ken Swanson’s expression was extremely ugly.

At the thought that the person whom he helped tonight might be a man, he felt so disgusted that his hair stood on end.

Melody Fox guessed that Ken Swanson had thought of something. He snorted and said, “Don’t worry. Even if you use a human face and fake skin, you won’t find a man. The difference between a man and a woman is too big. It’s easy to reveal flaws.”

“It’s still gross.”

He treated Mango as his sister, which was why he was willing to send her home and help her when she was about to fall.

If it were any other woman, she would be no different from a man to him. They were both very disgusting.

Melody Fox shrugged. Ken Swanson said again, “Now that you mention it, I remember something strange.”

“What is it?”

“Mango has a slight case of night blindness, but she saw it clearly when I walked her to the hotel where she was staying. It wasn’t easy to park in that hotel. We walked through the alley at the back door. That’s the reason I walked her to the hotel entrance. But I thought she was ok so I didn’t think much of it. Now that you mention it, I remember.”

The two of them looked at each other and were almost completely sure that Mango was an imposter.

Ken Swanson took out his phone and said as he searched for her contact list, “I’ll get James Deeds to find out who she is.”

“Don’t.” Melody Fox quickly pressed down on Ken Swanson’s hand and said, “Since we’ve confirmed that Mandy Spence is fake tonight, it’s now our turn to be in the dark and the enemy is in the light. I’m afraid that you’ll alert the enemy if you investigate like this. Ulric Swanson definitely can’t escape, but Ulric Swanson and Mango have never interacted with each other before. It’s impossible for them to know so many details. Therefore, I suspect that there’s someone else behind this.”

“Then according to your thoughts, how do you think we can find the snake behind us?”

“Of course, he will only jump out when the snake sees what he wants.” Melody Fox winked slyly and said, “From tomorrow morning onwards, let’s pretend to be husband and wife who are fighting. Oh no, we should start tonight.

You can sleep in the study tonight.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Melody Fox was suddenly picked up by Ken Swanson.

“Ah…-” She exclaimed and quickly lowered her voice. “What are you doing?!”

Ken Swanson carried her to the bed and said, “I can sleep in the study, but before that, I have to collect some interest.”

With that, Melody Fox was placed on the big bed by Ken Swanson.

She was wearing a nightdress, so it was even more convenient for Ken Swanson to reach under her dress. As he moved, it was as if an electric current passed through her body, and she became dizzy.

“Don’t… You have to wake up early tomorrow.”

Embarrassed and angry, she grabbed his hand forcefully. As she stopped him from “exploring the secret”, she said, ” If this continues, I won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”

“It’s fine if we can’t get up. We won’t take a passenger plane. We can still catch a flight by using a private plane. Moreover, the auction is in the morning the day after tomorrow. It’s fine even if we go to Insterimond at night.”

“No… Stop fooling around!”

“That won’t do. You scared the hell out of me tonight.”

With that, his thin lips kissed hers, not giving her a chance to speak.

“Ugh…”

Melody Fox could not stand the kiss and wanted to turn her head away to avoid it.

However, how could Ken Swanson give her a chance to escape?

He straightened her head and kissed her again.

At the same time, he quickly took off his clothes.

In less than a moment, the two of them were honest with each other.

Melody Fox knew that he could not escape tonight. He could only take a step back and say, “Then turn off the lights…”

Chapter 858

Turning off the lights and doing that was Melody Fox’s bottom line.

Fortunately, Ken Swanson knew that she was thin-skinned in that aspect. Finally, he turned off the lights after breaking through the last barrier.

The moment the lights were turned off, the already ambiguous atmosphere became even more intense.

And tonight, Ken Swanson seemed to have the aura of getting back at her. He tossed and turned her around. Melody Fox felt that every part of her body was sore.

After an unknown period of time, Ken Swanson finally ended.

His mind was blank, but the joy in his heart had yet to dissipate. He sighed in satisfaction. He only wanted to stay blissful at this moment forever.

Just as they were about to fall asleep after a casual wipe, Melody Fox, who had just shouted “I can’t take it anymore”, suddenly became energetic and pulled him up.

“Alright, you can sleep in the study now.”

Just like that, Ken Swanson was half-pushed and half-pushed out of the door.

“|…—”

Just as he said that the door was closed with a bang and Ken Swanson felt wronged and frustrated.

He wanted to ask her to bring him a blanket, but he did not expect this girl to not even give him one.

How heartless!

He had no choice. He could not just sleep on the sofa in the study. Otherwise, he would definitely catch a cold the next day. Therefore, he could only call the servants and ask them to bring him a blanket.

When the servant heard that he was going to sleep in the study, she was shocked and afraid. She did not dare to ask any more questions, afraid that she would attract trouble. She turned around and carried two new blankets and a pillow. She neatly helped Ken Swanson make a bed in the study and left quickly.

The entire process did not take more than ten minutes.

Even so, the news still reached Ulric Swanson’s ears.

He closed his eyes and listened to Jennie Taylor’s report. A rare smile finally appeared on his lips.

Jennie Taylor observed Ulric Swanson’s expression and said happily for Ulric Swanson, “This is great. If the two of them continue to stick together like glue, they will become an impenetrable wall. But now, we can find an opportunity to break through them one by one.”

Melody Fox and Ken Swanson were the Support and Assassin characters in the game.

Without either of them, the two of them became less invincible.

Ulric Swanson raised his eyebrows slightly and slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes that were usually filled with gentleness and tenderness finally revealed their original gloominess.

“From the looks of it, it’s not impossible to work with that Jian.”

Jennie Taylor nodded.

“I didn’t expect someone like Ken Swanson to be such a sentimental person. If we had known that he had such a first love, we would have used this first love to drive a wedge between him and Melody Fox.”

As Jennie Taylor spoke, he recalled Janet Murphy’s request.

“Should we give her the medicine that Janet Murphy wants?”

“Give it to her. Anyway, the person she wants to deal with is Ander Morgan, Ander Morgan, and now Melody Fox’s godfather. It’s equivalent to our common enemy.”

“Yes.”

Ulric Swanson slowly lit a cigarette and said, “Give her the poison she was asking. Go and test if there’s any expert behind her who actually knows the skills of the human skin mask. If we can get the person behind her to work for us, we’ll have an additional arm.”

“Alright, I understand. I’ll get it done now.”

“There’s no need to be in such a hurry. Drag it out, lest she thinks we can’t do without her.”

“You’re the smartest.”

Ulric Swanson waved his hand. “You may leave. I’m going to rest too.”

“Yes. Have a good rest. I’ll go back first.”

Jennie Taylor bowed and quickly left the room.

Ulric Swanson walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the bright moonlight. The corners of his lips curled up again.

Melody Fox…, Melody Fox, what’s the use of being smart? She’s just a woman.

As long as it was a woman, she would become a complete idiot when it came to relationships.

Now, you and Ken Swanson have a crack, and the crack in your relationship is not so easy to mend.

Ulric Swanson stubbed out the cigarette in his hand with his bare hands and returned to his room in a rare mood.

Meanwhile, in Melody’s bedrooms.

After being tortured by Ken Swanson, her body felt like it was falling apart, and sleepiness quickly came over her. Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone rang.

She was extremely sleepy, but she still opened one eye and fumbled for her phone to take a look.

It was a message from Ken Swanson.

The content of the message was… There were only five words-

“‘Good night. I love you.'”

The corners of Melody Fox’s lips curled up uncontrollably, but he muttered, “How annoying…”

Fox rooms flashed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

Melody Fox was woken up by the alarm clock. She was still very tired.

She clearly had good stamina, but as long as they made lovemaking, she would definitely be listless the next morning.

She didn’t know if that kind of thing was more exhausting than running. No wonder people said that people died of exhaustion. After experiencing it personally, she felt that this possibility really existed.

However, for some reason, when it came to her, the gender swapped.

Melody Fox saw the energetic Ken Swanson at the door and suspected that the person who had been paying the price last night might not be Ken Swanson but her.

But she was clearly the one being swayed.

How infuriating!

On the other side, Ken Swanson sensed the resentment in Melody Fox’s eyes and knew what she was thinking. A smile subconsciously appeared on his lips.

However, when he thought of the plan the two of them had mentioned last night, he quickly restrained his smile and pretended to walk forward with a heavy heart.

“Melody, I…”

Melody Fox did not listen to him at all. She turned around and walked towards another staircase that he did not often take.

Ken Swanson took a few steps and caught up to her. When he saw Melody Fox hiding behind a corner, he was so angry that he ignored Ken Swanson.

At the top of the stairs, Melody Fox adhered to their “plan” and went downstairs without waiting for Ken Swanson to catch up.

However, when she reached the living room, she realized that Margaret Swanson was already sitting on the sofa in the living room.

“Grandma? Why are you up so early today?”

Melody had just asked when Margaret Swanson walked over anxiously.

“I heard you guys had a fight last night?”

Melody Fox was stunned. She did not expect that this matter had already reached Margaret’s ears.

She glanced at Lucy Colt behind Maria Fox. When she saw Lucy Colt avoiding her gaze, she immediately understood what was going on.

The servant who made Ken Swanson’s bed last night must have said something after returning to the servant’s room. Then, Lucy Colt knew.

Melody Fox could not explain. He could only say, “We’re fine. Don’t worry, Grandma.”

Margaret Swanson sighed. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Ken Swanson chasing after her from the corner of her eye. She immediately frowned and said, “What did you do to make Melody unhappy? Tell me clearly! If you don’t tell me clearly, don’t go out today!”

Ken Swanson obviously did not expect the news to reach Margaret’s hands so quickly. He rubbed his nose awkwardly and walked forward.

Chapter 859

Ken Swanson could not explain this matter. He could only say, “Grandma, don’t worry about our matters. We will resolve it ourselves.”

“What are you talking about?! If I don’t worry about you, who will? Don’t think that just because Melody is alone now, there’s no one to support her. Let me tell you, as long as I’m not dead, I’ll support Melody!”

Ken Swanson had a headache.

“I understand, Grandma. We’ll take care of it.”

Melody Fox found an opportunity to say, “Grandma, I still have to rush to room Fox. I’ll leave first. You guys chat.” With that, she called out to Lucy Colt.

“Lucy Colt, where’s the stuff Grandma asked me to bring?”

“It’s already in the trunk. I’ll bring you there to take a look.” Lucy Colt was already feeling guilty. When she heard this, she quickly brought Melody Fox out.

As soon as Melody Fox left, Margaret Swanson’s face darkened completely. “Tell me honestly, what happened? Don’t try to fool me! I know Melody’s personality. If it wasn’t something big, she definitely wouldn’t have chased you to the study to sleep.”

Ken Swanson was in a hurry to go to the airport. He could only say, “It’s just a misunderstanding. I met an old classmate of mine overseas at a dinner last night. She was a little drunk, so I sent her home. Melody misunderstood, so… it’s really nothing serious.”

Margaret Swanson frowned.

“Old classmate? Which old classmate? The girl from the Murphy family?”

Without waiting for Ken Swanson to speak, Margaret Swanson continued, “That girl has feelings for you. Even I can see that. Why do you still want to send someone home? Can’t you call a taxi? There are so many cars and drivers at home. Can’t you send her back? Why do you have to send her back personally? You can’t blame Melody for being angry. If it were me, I wouldn’t be happy either!”

Ken Swanson decided not to explain.

“I understand. I won’t send her off again. Don’t worry, she won’t be angry soon.”

Margaret Swanson sighed heavily and said earnestly, Melody is a good girl and I’m indebted to her. You must not let her down and hurt her heart.”

“I know, Grandma. Don’t worry. I’ll be careful in the future.”

“I can’t care so much about your matters, but you definitely can’t be like your father and have mercy everywhere, understand?”

Ken Swanson’s eyes darkened when he thought of his mother.

“I know all about it, Grandma.”

Only then did Margaret Swanson stop talking. He said, “Go after her. Explain to her properly. She’s not the kind of girl who’s not easy to talk to.”

“Okay, then I’ll go out first.”

After saying that, Ken Swanson hurriedly ran outside, only to see Lucy Colt walking back.

“Lucy Colt, where’s Melody?”

“Mrs. Swanson has already left. I think she’s going to leave. It’s not too late for you to chase after him.”

“Thanks a lot.”

As Ken Swanson spoke, he quickly walked towards the manor’s parking lot.

Wretched girl, why did she have to put on such an act? She really didn’t wait for him.

However, after taking a few steps, Ken Swanson felt a gaze staring at him.

He instinctively turned his head and happened to see the curtains of a window on the second floor flutter gently.

That room… was Room Ulric Swanson.

The corners of his lips curled up imperceptibly, but he quickly hid it and quickened his pace towards the parking lot.

After the car drove out of the manor, the fluttering curtains were pulled open, revealing a gloomy face.

It was Ulric Swanson.

“Master Ulric.”

Jennie Taylor, who was standing behind Ulric Swanson, said in a low voice, “Just now in the living room, Margaret Swanson persuaded Ken Swanson to chase after her.” “I saw it.” Ulric Swanson’s expression did not change.

Jennie Taylor said worriedly, “What if they reconcile just like that?”

Ulric Swanson sneered.

“Isn’t it normal to reconcile? Love is the same. It’s impossible for them to break up completely just because of two photos.”

“Aren’t you… in a hurry?”

Ulric Swanson raised an eyebrow.

“What’s there to be anxious about? This is just the beginning. His first love will never appear again. As long as she appears once, she will tear open the wound in Melody Fox’s heart again. One day, that wound will never heal again. When that time arrives, our goal will be achieved.”

Jennie Taylor thought about it and felt relieved.

A moment later, Jennie Taylor observed Ulric Swanson’s expression and said tentatively, “But it’s not good for Margaret Swanson to always be the peacemaker in the middle. Should we take advantage of their absence and…”

As Jennie Taylor spoke, he made a gesture of slitting her throat.

Ulric Swanson’s gaze immediately swept over her coldly.

“You want me to be the second Astrid Swanson?”

Jennie Taylor was shocked and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Master Ulric. I was wrong.”

Ulric Swanson took a deep breath and suppressed the fire in his chest. He said patiently, “Nothing can happen to Margaret Swanson yet. Otherwise, Ramon Swanson will immediately suspect me. When it happens, we will lose more than we gain. We will also lose everything we have now.” “Yes, I was rash. I won’t mention this again.”

Ulric Swanson thought of Astrid Swanson and rubbed his temples in frustration.

After a while, his impatience dissipated.

Jennie Taylor finally dared to speak again.

“Melody Fox is going to Insterimond. Do you need someone to keep an eye on her?”

“Send someone to keep an eye on her and see why she went to Insterimond for no reason. If there’s a suitable opportunity, we’ll do it if we can, but we can’t let our own people do it, in case we fail to get rid of her and get into trouble.”

“Yes! Anyway, Insterimond is so far away from Silverlake. If Melody Fox dies there, Ramon Swanson can’t blame us. Besides, it’s just a daughter-in-law. I don’t think Mr. Ramon will investigate carefully.”

“You can’t say that. Just because Dad didn’t investigate doesn’t mean that Ken Swanson won’t investigate, so we have to find a suitable opportunity to do it cleanly. We can’t let our own people fall into his hands.”

“Yes, I’ll remember that.”

“Go on.”

After two hours, Melody Fox met Ruby Taylor at the gate. “Ruby.”

She grabbed her carry-on bag and hurried over.

When Ruby saw Melody Fox, she subconsciously straightened her back and squeezed out a smile. “Melody, you’re finally here. There are still ten minutes before boarding. I was afraid that you would miss our flight if you didn’t arrive.”

“I was delayed by something before I set off. In the end, I bumped into the mountain. Fortunately, I made it in time.” “Then let’s board the plane.”

Ruby Taylor tried her best to smile and took the lead. She was afraid Melody Fox would notice that there was something wrong with her expression.

Ruby Taylor had bought a first-class cabin. As the two of them were not checking in together, their seats were a little far apart.

Melody Fox wanted to ask the passengers beside Ruby Taylor to change seats, but when she looked up, she saw a familiar figure appear in her line of sight.

Chapter 860

The person was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He was tall and his handsome face attracted the attention of the flight attendant. He even deliberately walked forward to ask if he needed help.

“No, thank you.”

Ken Swanson waved his hand and naturally sat beside Melody Fox.

“Why are you here?” Melody Fox frowned unhappily.

The moment Ken Swanson appeared, it meant that she was about to enter the acting mode again. She was so tired, but… she was not unhappy.

In fact, the moment she saw Ken Swanson, she felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

It was as if as long as he was around, this trip would be very smooth.

Ken Swanson was a little annoyed.

He could have held her hand openly, but now he could only continue to act.

Who knew if the first-class cabin had Ulric Swanson eyes?

He could only put on a guilty expression and ask carefully, Melody, are you still angry?”

Melody Fox turned her face away. She held back her laughter and said coldly, “I’m not angry. I won’t be angry if you don’t talk to me.”

“Melody…”

“Don’t touch me!”

Melody Fox avoided Ken Swanson’s outstretched hand and raised her hand to call the flight attendant over.

“Can I have a blanket? I need to sleep.”

“Okay, I’ll bring it to you right away.”

The flight attendant agreed, but her gaze kept sweeping across Melody Fox’s face.

When she saw Melody Fox’s face under the shadow, the flight attendant’s heart immediately felt sour.

What is going on? What is wrong with handsome men these days? Was there something wrong with their eyes? They actually found such an ugly woman.

However, this ugly woman did not know what was good for her. She actually gave the handsome man a hard time!

If it were her, she would not bear to be angry with such a handsome man.

The flight attendant went to the staff area with mixed feelings. She turned around and told her colleagues about the completely incompatible man and woman.

“That’s strange. I don’t think that woman is very rich. She doesn’t have any branded clothes from head to toe! At least my earrings are from Chanel. She looks like a poor person. I don’t know how she attracted that handsome man.”

The colleague was shocked. She widened her eyes and said, “Don’t tell me you’re talking about the two people in the second last row?”

“That’s right. You noticed them too?”

“Oh my god… If you don’t want to lose your job, just shut up!”

“What do you mean by that?”

“The handsome guy you’re talking about is the young master of the Swanson Group, Ken Swanson!”

The flight attendant was shocked. She recalled Ken Swanson’s notorious reputation and immediately shrank her neck in fear.

A man who could even cripple her own brother’s leg was out of her reach.

This blessing should be given to that ugly freak!

Although handsome men were handsome, their lives were more important.

On the seat, Melody Fox noticed the expression on the flight attendant’s face when she saw their face clearly. Her hands that were hanging by her sides clenched involuntarily.

In the past, she really did not care about her appearance. However, the more she loved Ken Swanson, the easier it was for her to start being together with these things that she did not care about in the past.

On this trip to Insterimond, she hoped to get the Green Velvet as soon as possible and not cause any trouble.

Ken Swanson, who was beside her, seemed to have sensed what she was thinking. His left hand followed the blanket and grabbed her hand tightly under the cover of the blanket. Melody Fox subconsciously looked at Ken Swanson. The moment their eyes met, the inferiority complex in Melody Fox’s heart gradually faded.

Yes, he loved her. It had nothing to do with her looks or family background. He loved her soul.

However, she still had to recover her appearance.

It had nothing to do with what others thinking. She just wanted to give him the best of herself.

Just like in her previous life, she had clearly gathered the antidote, but she chose to cure the poison on their wedding night because she wanted Ulric Swanson to see the most perfect version of herself.

At the thought of Ulric Swanson, Melody Fox’s eyes darkened and her mood turned bad.

How annoying. Why did I suddenly think of that disgusting cockroach?

‘I’d better sleep.

Soon, as the announcement sounded in the plane, the plane circled above the Insterimond Airport.

Melody Fox looked down through the window of the plane.

Rows of houses were neatly stacked together.

Insterimond, they had finally arrived.

Green Velvet, the last herbs, here she comes!

At the airport, Melody Fox and Ken Swanson “separated”. She pretended to ignore Ken Swanson and picked up her luggage first. Then, she pulled Ruby Taylor out of the airport first.

As soon as the two of them got into the car, Ken Swanson sent them a message.

“I’ll go to the Swanson Group’s branch in Insterimond first. I’ll also go to Insterimond’s old residence at night. I’m afraid I won’t be able to meet you at the hotel until very late at night. Remember to send me the room number.”

“Got it.”

Melody Fox quickly replied and looked up to see Ruby Taylor looking at her with a worried expression.

“What’s wrong?” Melody Fox blinked blankly.

Ruby Taylor took her hand and asked with concern, “Did you quarrel with Ken Swanson?”

“Huh?”

“I saw it. He was sitting in the same row as you, but you deliberately didn’t wait for him… Melody, why did you suddenly quarrel? What happened?”

“Nothing happened.” Melody Fox lowered her eyes and tried to think of an explanation.

However, Ruby spoke again, “Melody, if Ken Swanson did something wrong to you, you don’t have to swallow your anger. I will support you! Although there’s a limit to what I can do, I can guarantee one thing. Even if you leave the Swanson family, you won’t have nowhere to go.” Melody Fox’s heart warmed.

She was already very lucky to have people like Ruby and Margaret worrying about her.

Unfortunately, she had never met them in her previous life.

Melody Fox adjusted her emotions and said, “Ruby, you’ve misunderstood. He really didn’t do anything to let me down. It’s just that he had other itineraries on this trip, so we didn’t leave the airport together.”

“That’s good. Ruby Taylor heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I thought you guys had a fight. You scared me to death! But don’t worry, what I said just now will always count. If anything irreparable happens to you in the future, my door will always be open to you.”

“Thank you, Ruby. I’m really lucky to have met you.”

When Ruby Taylor heard this, she felt a strong sense of guilt.

She almost could not help but tell Melody Fox the truth. She wanted to tell her that this trip was destined to not end well. She wanted to tell her that the Green Velvet auction had actually been internally decided a long time ago.

However, when she thought of Mason Taylor who had no choice but to pretend to be crippled, she forcefully swallowed her words.

Only God knew how tormented she was right now!

Melody Fox acutely sensed that something was wrong with Ruby Taylor’s expression.

“Ruby, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Ruby quickly returned to her senses and waved her hand with a dry smile. “No, it’s probably because I’m a little tired from the plane ride. I’ll be fine after I go back to the hotel and lie down.”

Melody Fox quickly checked Ruby Taylor’s pulse. When he saw that everything was normal, she relaxed.

“It’s nothing. I should be tired. I’ll Sleep for a while after checking in. Call me when you wake up.”

She could settle the matter Margaret Swanson had entrusted to her and ask about Insterimond University.

Chapter 861

Insterimond university.

Yannick Frost had mentioned to her before that Insterimond University wanted to recruit some special talents this year.

She could sign up for any of their special talents, such as painting, chess… and so on.

In Yannick Frost’s original words-

“After registration, you only need to register over there. If one doesn’t represent the school, she will have a graduation certificate from Insterimond University. Moreover, this graduation certificate is even more valuable than SAT.”

Of the appointments that had given her, it had not been made public.

Coincidentally, she had come to Insterimond this time. The specific date and time of the exams had also been announced in three days.

Along the way, Melody Fox thought carefully about what she had to do in the next few days. Ruby Taylor was obviously in a daze. She thought that she had lied to Melody Fox.

The car was silent, and the driver couldn’t help but become more cautious.

The airport of Insterimond was located in a remote location. The car drove for nearly two hours to the Washington Hotel.

The Washington Hotel was just an Insterimond ordinary five-star hotel. It was not very famous.

However, because the auction tomorrow would be held in the guild hall opposite the Washington Hotel, Ruby Taylor chose this hotel for convenience.

Melody Fox was not picky about her accommodation. On the way, she saw that there were shopping malls and snack streets around the Washington Hotel, so she was even more satisfied with this place.

At the very least, it was very convenient to buy something.

However, as soon as she checked the map, she blushed with shame.

The Washington Hotel was a car ride away from Insterimond University, and it was based on the fact that there was no traffic jam.

It seemed that she had to choose the day after tomorrow to register for the special talent selection examination at Insterimond University. Or she could only squeeze some time in the afternoon to do what Margaret Swanson had instructed her to do.

However, she would probably have to wake up early in the morning to make it for the exam in three days.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you like this one? Then let’s change to another one. How about the Insterimond Grand Hotel? The environment is much better than here. It’s the best hotel in Insterimond.”

Ruby Taylor observed Melody Fox’s expression and thought that she was complaining about the D.C. Hotel, so she quickly brought her out of the hotel.

“No, no. It doesn’t matter where I live.” Melody Fox quickly pulled Ruby Taylor’s back and said, “I’m not that picky.” “Then just now you…

Melody Fox said truthfully, “It’s because I have to go to Insterimond University for the exam in the next three days. I’m afraid I’ll have to wake up early because it’s too far away. However, I suddenly thought that after I get the Green Velvet tomorrow, I could move to a hotel near Insterimond University, so I could stay here today and tomorrow. Moreover, this hotel is quite good. In addition, my requirements for the hotel are only cleanliness and safety, so there’s really no need to change hotels!”

Ruby Taylor heaved a sigh of relief.

If it were not the case, Ruby Taylor would definitely know that Melody Fox was not the kind of person who would be picky. But now, Melody Fox’s every move made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles, afraid that Melody Fox would notice something.

She genuinely liked Melody Fox and was grateful to Melody Fox, so she didn’t want to lose such a friend because of her and Mason’s lies.

However, Ruby Taylor quickly caught the words “after getting the Green Velvet tomorrow” in Melody Fox’s words. Her heart that had fallen was in her throat again.

She felt guilty and did not dare to look at Melody Fox. She lowered her head and played with her nails as she said, “It’s good that you don’t mind this hotel. Then go and check in first. I’ll wait for you here.”

Melody Fox asked in confusion, “Aren’t you going to check in?”

Ruby Taylor explained, “I won’t stay in a hotel anymore. I’ll stay at home.”

Melody Fox slapped her head.

“Look at my brain… I almost forgot that the Taylor family is a native of the Insterimond people. You guys only moved to Silverlake in the past two years.”

Ruby Taylor smiled apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, I want you to stay in a hotel alone. I originally wanted you to stay at my and Mason’s house, but this is the first time I’ve returned to Insterimond after I got pregnant. There must be a group of people looking for me. I was afraid that too many people would disturb you, so I let you stay here.”

“What’s wrong with that? Go home quickly. The adults at home will definitely want to see you. Just don’t tire yourself out. You don’t have to wait for me. Go back first. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Ruby Taylor nodded. She did not dare to look at Melody Fox’s bright eyes anymore. She held her bag tightly and left with her bodyguards.

Someone had come to pick up Ruby Taylor long ago and was waiting at the entrance of the hotel.

Melody Fox watched as Ruby left in a car. She did not turn around and return to the hotel. Instead, she stood at the door for a while.

Aaron Berg, who had followed her in Insterimond reminded Melody Fox, “Miss Fox, aren’t you going to check in?”

Only then did Melody Fox come back to her senses. Instead of answering Aaron Berg, she asked, “Don’t you think Ruby looks a little strange?”

“Huh? In what way? You’re not allowed to stay with her?”

“Of course not. It’s… Forget it. You haven’t interacted much with Ruby Taylor. It’s normal that you can’t tell the difference. Besides, it’s possible that I’m only being paranoid.”

However, Spencer, who was beside Aaron Berg, could not help but say, “Miss Fox, actually, I also think… Mrs. Taylor looks a little strange.”

Melody Fox raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, I almost forgot that after Seventeen was injured, you followed me to see her a few times. Tell me, what’s strange about her?”

When some people were in the fog, they could not see anything nearby. However, those standing outside the fog could see more clearly.

Spencer thought about how to open his mouth before saying, I remember that Mrs. Taylor was always smiling happily when she saw you before. But this time, although she also smiled, that smile felt a little…”

“Forcing a smile,” Melody Fox replied.

“Yes! She’s forcing a smile. And Mrs. Taylor doesn’t even dare to look into your eyes this time, as if she’s done something wrong to you. In short, it’s just strange.”

Melody Fox looked away, but she kept repeating Spencer’s words.

“It’s as if she did something to let me down…”

But what could Ruby Taylor do to let her down? Not only that, Ruby Taylor even personally accompanied her to Insterimond to participate in the Green Velvet’s auction. Could it be that… there was a problem with the auction? Thinking of this possibility, Melody Fox frowned slightly.

“Aaron Berg, I have a mission for you.”

“Whatever you say.”

“Go and check if anything happened in Taylor family auctions.”

“This… You’re a little broad. I wonder what exactly I want to investigate?”

“We’ll investigate anything related to the Taylor family and Mr. Lou. Let’s see if he has come into contact with anyone with an extraordinary status recently. Of course… Insterimond is filled with capable people. Nine out of ten people who are hit by a piece of glass are of noble status.

Therefore, you had to investigate the background of the person who had not interacted much with him but had suddenly started interacting with him.

“Of course, you have to check everything that happened in the Taylor family and report it to me in detail.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Melody Fox looked at Spencer again and said, “I remember that Insterimond also has a black market, right?”

Chapter 862

Spencer quickly answered Melody Fox’s question.

“Yes, Miss Fox. Moreover, our black market in Insterimond is more mature and well-informed than Silverlake.”

Melody Fox nodded and said, “Then find me the list of people who will participate in the auction tomorrow through the black market.”

Green Velvet was the last antidote she needed, special herbs, so the importance was self-evident.

If she could not get it this time, she would probably have to delay it until the next auction.

However, she did not know how long she would have to wait.

Ken Swanson was already preparing for the wedding. Although he deliberately hid it from her, she could still guess a little.

She hoped that she would become Ken Swanson’s bride soon, not with her current face.

“Do it well. The list must be as detailed as possible. It’s best if there’s information on each of them.”

“Yes!”

Spencer answered swiftly.

Compared to Aaron Berg’s mission, his mission would be completed very quickly. He did not even need to do it himself. He only needed to go to the black market and order the people there.

Therefore, before leaving, Aaron Berg explained to Spencer.

“When you’re done, return to Miss Fox immediately. To protect her, and don’t let her encounter any danger. If there’s anything urgent, contact me ASAP.”

Spencer felt inexplicably nervous.

“Aaron, do you mean that Miss Fox will be in danger?”

Aaron Berg looked at Spencer as if he were looking at an idiot.

“Is it dangerous to know in advance? I’m just afraid that something might happen. So come back as soon as possible after you’re done. Don’t wander around outside.”

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t. As soon as I arrive at the black market, I’ll send a few people to protect Miss Fox.” “There’s no need for that. Miss Fox isn’t someone who likes to be high-profile. Moreover, there are many secret guards guarding her. According to Young Master’s instructions, they followed her here this time. What I want is another person to take care of everything on her behalf and listen to her orders.”

“I understand what you mean. I’ll return to Miss Fox immediately after I’m done.”

“Okay, then I’ll leave first. I have a lot of work to do. I have to go quickly.”

“Don’t worry, go ahead.”

Aaron Berg nodded and looked in the direction of the hotel again. Seeing Melody Fox get into the elevator, he turned around and left. Soon, he got into a car and disappeared into the traffic.

Spencer did not stay any longer. He adhered to the principle of going early and returning early and quickly set off for the black market.

In the hotel room.

Melody Fox rubbed her aching shoulders. Just as she was about to order a meal, her phone rang.

Melody Fox looked at the caller ID. It was an unknown number. It belonged to Insterimond.

Did Insterimond’s people call…

Puzzled, she answered.

“Hello?”

A rude voice immediately came from the other end of the phone.

“Are you from Silverlake?”

Melody Fox sounded very young and did not sound like Margaret’s younger brother. Hence, she asked, “Who are you?”

“My name is Ming Haotian. Ming Zhi is my father.”

Margaret Swanson’s name was Ming Margaret. Her younger brother’s name was Ming Zhi. It seemed that Ming Zhi did not have spare time, so asked his son to call over.

Melody Fox had no intention of deliberately getting close to the Mont family. She only wanted to give Margaret Swanson a gift, so she did not care who the person who came to take the gift.

However, out of politeness, she still introduced herself. Hello, my name is Melody Fox. I just arrived at Insterimond. I’m at…”

However, Ming Haotian did not care where she was at all. Without waiting for her, he said, “I’m at the HOT Bar. Bring the things here. Call me when you reach the door.”

Without waiting for Melody Fox to reply, Ming Haotian hung up.

“This person…” Melody Fox slowly frowned.

Didn’t they say that his granduncle was an honest person who was easy to talk to? Why was his son so rude?

However, no matter what the other party’s attitude was, since he was from Margaret Swanson’s family, she still had to call him uncle. Therefore, Melody Fox suppressed her displeasure.

However, she was not in a hurry to go over. Instead, she turned on her phone and checked the location of the HOT Bar.

HOT Bar happened to be not far from the University of Insterimond, so Melody Fox decided to go personally.

Originally, she had planned to send a secret guard to bring the gift over since her granduncle, the elder, did not come personally.

However, since the two places were less than ten minutes away by car, she might as well make a trip there herself.

It could also be considered as meeting this uncle who was not easy to talk to on the phone. Most rude people were petty. If she did not go personally, what if the other party was dissatisfied and deliberately gave her a hard time in the future? It would make things difficult for Ken Swanson.

After making up his mind, Melody Fox was not in a hurry to set off first. She asked the hotel to send a set meal The Washington Hotel looked ordinary, but the food surprisingly matched her appetite.

After eating and drinking her fill, she went downstairs and hailed a taxi to the HOT bar according to what the other party had mentioned.

It was only three or four in the afternoon. Logically speaking, the bar was not open at this time. Could it be that this uncle owned a bar?

After thinking about it, Melody Fox still called Ken Swanson. After all, it was a little strange to meet at a bar.

After explaining the purpose of her visit, Ken Swanson explained, “He doesn’t own a bar. My granduncle spoiled his son so much that he went to all kinds of places every day. Also, strictly speaking, that shop isn’t a bar. It’s just a KTV that looks like a bar. It used to be a bar, but the owner didn’t change its name. By the way, he’s a year younger than you. You don’t have to treat that guy like an elder. Just throw the things to him and leave.”

“What?” Melody Fox asked in amusement, “A person a year younger than me is actually your uncle?”

“What uncle? I call him by his name directly. He’s just a little hooligan. Don’t bother with him. You can just ask someone to send the things in.”

“Then it’s better not to. I’m already in the past, not to mention that your grandmother personally instructed me to do so. It’s better for me to personally deliver the things to him so that I can report back. Otherwise, Grandma will think that I don’t care about what she instructed me to do.” “Since you’ve decided, go ahead. Although Minghao Tian is a playboy and has become more and more unreasonable over the years, he’s not a heinous person. His nature isn’t bad.”

“Yes, I understand. By the way, where are you now? Are you still at the branch office?”

“Yes, I just finished reading their new season’s account book. It’s running fine. I plan to go to the old residence of the Swanson family now.”

Melody Fox knew that Ken Swanson was going to the Swanson family’s old residence mainly to investigate the matter of the raw jade stone that contained the Gu worm, so she did not ask further. She only said “Be careful” and hung up. Another hour passed. After the sun gradually set, Melody finally arrived at the HOT bar.

Chapter 863

After getting out of the car, Melody Fox saw a bright plaque hanging on the door of the rumored HOT Bar: HOT KTV.

It was really a KTV.

Melody Fox did not have as much prejudice against KVT as she did against the bar. She sized up the door and saw that the size of the place was larger and more luxurious than she had imagined.

The Golden Lounge. The exaggerated decoration made people feel that this place did not seem proper.

However, this was none of her business. She did not have the time to educate her uncle, who was younger than her, on behalf of the Mont family people.

Melody Fox took out her phone and called Minghao Tian.

However, no one picked up the call.

Melody Fox frowned and called again. This time, someone picked up. It was a woman.

“Hello? Who are you?”

The drunken voice made Melody Fox very uncomfortable.

She did not answer the other party’s question and said directly, “Let Minghaotian answer the phone.”

The other party was silent for a moment before she said angrily, “Who do you think you are? How dare you call our Ming Haotian Brother by his name?”

“You don’t need to know who I am. Get him on the phone.”

“Hehe.” The other party laughed coldly and said, “Looks like she’s Brother Ming Haotian’s ex-girlfriend. She doesn’t even have a name. She really thinks she’s something.”

Melody Fox was running out of patience.

“Put him on!”

The other party snorted and said, “Brother Ming Haotian is playing a game and doesn’t have time to answer your call! Stop pestering me!”

With that, the woman on the other end of the phone cut off the call.

Melody Fox could only make another call.

However, this time, the other party directly turned off his phone, infuriating Melody Fox.

What kind of people were they?

Why did it feel like she was the kind of female hooligan that she met when she was studying?

However, all the female hooligans in her high school year kept a respectful distance from her in the end. No one dared to provoke her.

Melody Fox tried her best to calm down and told herself not to be calculative with ignorant children. Only then did she calm down and walk into the KTV.

The interior of the KTV was even more luxurious than the outside. There were humanoid signs everywhere. The girls on the signs were all wearing very revealing and skimpy dresses with sweet smiles. There were even girls’ names printed below. Melody Fox’s expression froze slightly.

It was just as she had guessed. It was not a proper KTV.

This Minghao Tian was really unrestrained. Wasn’t he afraid of getting sick from playing in such a place?

She walked to the front desk with a dark expression. “Hello, excuse me…”

The young lady at the front desk looked up at her. When she saw her face, her eyes widened. After a moment, she revealed a disdainful expression and said, “We don’t recruit cleaners here anymore. It was full yesterday.”

After saying that, the little girl complained, “Even if you’re not full, don’t be so ugly. Isn’t this polluting the eyes of the guests?”

Melody Fox narrowed her eyes and grabbed the other party’s wrist that was placed on the service counter.

“Ah-” Fang Dun screamed in pain.

Melody Fox’s expression became even more indifferent.

She didn’t care what others said about her appearance, but it didn’t mean that she would forgive everyone who mocked her for being bullied in such a place.

“It hurts… Let go of me!”

Melody Fox said expressionlessly, “If you don’t want me to break your hand, cut the crap and tell me which room Minghao Tian is in.’

“B…-Brother Ming Haotian?” The woman looked at her in shock and asked, “Who are you to him?”

“This has nothing to do with you,” Melody Fox said as she tightened her grip.

“Ah!!!-” The little girl was young, so how could she endure this pain? However, she refused to give in. She gritted her teeth in pain and shouted, “Someone! Someone is here to cause trouble!”

In less than two seconds, two burly bodyguards walked out of a small room.

“Who dares to cause trouble in Hot?”

Melody Fox let go of the woman’s hand and met the eyes of the two bodyguards indifferently.

“I’m looking for Ming Haotian.”

“What do you mean? Is Brother Ming Haotian someone you can find just because you want to?”

The receptionist shook her red and swollen hand in pain and shouted, “Stop talking nonsense with her! She hit me just now. Hurry up and teach her a lesson!”

As soon as he said this, the two bodyguards immediately walked towards Melody Fox.

Melody was considered tall among the girls, but it was not enough in front of these two bear-like men.

The two of them did not care about Melody Fox at all. They walked over leisurely and were about to grab her and press her to the ground.

However, just as their hands reached out, Melody Fox kicked the person in front of them.

The man was kicked to the ground heavily. The back of his head hit the ground and he saw stars. He did not recover for a long time.

When the other saw this, he cursed fiercely and pounced on Melody Fox.

Similar to the first two, more bodyguards appeared in that small room.

This time, Melody Fox did not even bother to raise her hand and directly said, “Someone come.”

Before the man could react to who she was calling, a few black shadows appeared out of thin air, pressed them to the ground, and stepped on their head.

In less than a minute, all of HOT’s bodyguards were lying unconscious on the ground.

The young lady at the front desk widened her eyes in shock. When she saw the group of bodyguards in black suddenly appear, she was so frightened that she took a step back, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.

In her panic, countless question marks appeared in her mind.

Where did this woman come from? She looked plain and ordinary, and she looked… It was hard to explain. Why did she bring so many bodyguards with her?!

However, the moment she moved, Melody Fox’s cold eyes swept over.

“Can you lead the way now?”

The young lady at the front desk did not dare to resist anymore. She shrank her neck and agreed repeatedly. ” Lead the way. I’ll lead the way now…”

“Let’s go!”

The young lady at the front desk did not dare to delay any longer and quickly walked in front.

With someone leading the way, Melody Fox quickly found the private room Ming White Sky was in.

The golden sign on the door of the private room read: Ming Haotian Brother’s private room.

It was really…

Melody Fox didn’t know how to describe it. She used her eyes to signal the others to wait at the door and keep an eye on the receptionist so that she wouldn’t call more people over.

After doing this, she pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the smell of cigarettes and alcohol mixed with various perfumes assaulted her nose. Melody Fox subconsciously frowned. The private room was very spacious. It was more than twice the size of the largest private room in an ordinary KTV.

At this moment, the music in the private room was set to the lowest level, so Melody Fox could clearly hear the people inside playing dice.

Ordinary people gambled on drinking, but this group of people gambled on the loser taking off a piece of clothing. Melody Fox glanced over and quickly locked his gaze on a man who was sitting in the middle of the crowd of beauties.

Chapter 864

Melody Fox didn’t know what Ming Haotian looked like, but from what had just happened, she could deduce that Ming Haotian’s status in this private room must be the highest. Therefore, the person surrounded by people must be Ming Haotian.

The light in the private room was dim, so no one in the room noticed anyone entering.

Melody Fox then had Fox sizing up Ming Haotian.

Ming Haotian’s facial features were delicate and beautiful. He could even be described as ‘beautiful’.

Melody Fox had once been invited by Margaret Swanson to chat. She had accidentally seen a photo of Margaret Swanson when she was a few years younger. It was 40-50% similar to Ming Haotian.

She looked like her eldest aunt. No wonder her facial features were so delicate.

However, perhaps because he was immersed in alcohol every day, the dark circles under his eyes were abnormally obvious.

Moreover, this Ming Haotian had lost two games. His clothes had been taken off by the women, revealing his bare upper body.

This made it even more obvious that Ming Haotian’s figure was extremely thin. He was so thin that his ribs were clearly defined as if he could collapse with a gust of wind.

But even so, his beautiful face could still easily win the hearts of women.

One could tell from the expressions on the faces of the women beside him that they wished they could hang themselves on her.

As a doctor, Melody Fox shook his head as he looked at Minghao Tian’s expression.

If this little uncle continued to be so unrestrained, his body would soon collapse, let alone his future.

Although she couldn’t be bothered to worry about others, she could still give them a reminder.

After all, a large portion of the gifts that Margaret Swanson had asked her to bring was for Minghao Tian. Margaret Swanson must have doted on this only child of the Mont family’s new generation. She would find an opportunity to take a look at his body.

With this thought in mind, Melody Fox’s bad mood dissipated. Just as she was about to greet him, a woman, who was about to hang the two lumps on his chest on Minghao Tian’s arm noticed her first.

Before she could speak, she exclaimed, “Who is it?!”

Everyone in the private room, including Ming Haotian, looked at her.

Despite being stared at by so many people, Melody Fox’s expression remained unchanged. She looked straight at Ming Skywhite and said, “I’m here to look for you.”

Before Minghao Tian could speak, the woman who had discovered her first exclaimed, “Oh my god! It’s you!”

Ming Skywhite looked at the woman in confusion. The woman said, “Ming Haotian, you were drinking just now. A woman called and asked for you. I thought it was your difficult ex-girlfriend, but from the sound of it, it’s this ugly monster!”

After saying that, the woman thought resentfully, If I had known that she was an ugly freak, I wouldn’t have wasted so much time talking to her and wouldn’t have felt so bitter.

The reason for the sourness was that every time Minghao came, he would order her to drink with him. However, she had yet to get Minghao’s phone number.

When she saw that Ming Haotian’s phone was left on his seat, she wanted to secretly save a number. In the end, she happened to receive a call.

However, before the woman could think about anything else, Minghao Tian suddenly raised his hand high and slapped her face.

Slap! A crisp sound rang out, and the woman saw stars. A trace of blood seeped out from the corner of her lips.

The private room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

The women were also surprised. They looked at the woman who was beaten up mockingly, but there was no sympathy.

There was no other reason. After all, this woman often relied on Minghao Tian’s “doting” to give them attitude.

Wasn’t this retribution?

Serves you right!

On the other hand, the few men looked as if it had nothing to do with them and continued doing what they were doing. Melody Fox, who was standing at the door, was also surprised.

He did not expect Minghao to be so rude over the phone. In fact, he was quite protective of his family.

However, Melody Fox quickly understood that Ming Haotian was not protecting her at all, but someone else.

This was because Ming Haotian still hadn’t vented his anger after slapping her once. He quickly slapped her a second time.

He scolded as he hit her, “Is Jian Huan worthy of being mentioned by someone like you? If I hear you say another word about her, you can forget about staying in Insterimond!”

The woman was so frightened that her face turned pale. Even though her face was already in extreme pain from the slap, she did not dare to make any sound. Her eyes were red as she endured the pain and tears and said, “I’m sorry, Ming Haotian Brother. I was wrong.”

Ming Skywhite didn’t plan on letting this woman go just like that.

He grabbed the woman’s collar and threw her to the ground before stepping on her hand.

“Ah!!!-” The woman finally couldn’t take it anymore and screamed in pain.

Minghao Tian stepped on the woman’s hand and slowly squatted down.

“Did you touch my phone with this hand?”

The woman shook her head with a pale face. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Brother Ming Haotian I was wrong. I really know my mistake! I won’t dare to touch your phone again! Please forgive me this time…”

“Haha.”

Ming Haotian smiled and stepped down even harder. “Ah!!!”

“Ha!?” Ming Haotian looked at the woman’s pained expression and laughed sinisterly. That appearance was completely incompatible with his delicate face.

“Mr. Ming.” Melody Fox could not take it anymore and said, I have something to discuss with you. Why don’t you settle my business first?”

Minghao Tian’s attention was quickly attracted by Melody Fox. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

“Who the hell are you?”

Melody Fox introduced himself. “I’m Melody Fox, who just spoke to you on the phone not long ago.”

Minghao Tian was stunned. His eyes were filled with extreme shock.

Melody Fox knew what he was shocked about. He was shocked that someone like Ken Swanson, who stood at the top of the pyramid, would marry an ugly freak like her.

“Are you serious?” Ming Haotian had completely given up on finding trouble with the woman on the ground. He took a few steps towards her.

Melody Fox saw the woman quickly get up and cast a grateful look at her.

Melody Fox did not look at her and pretended not to see it. She did sympathize with this woman, but she did not pity her.

She had chosen the path herself. Since she had chosen this line of work, she should be aware of being used as a punching bag by her guests.

Just now, she had only stopped him out of empathy for another woman.

“There’s no mistake. I’m Melody Fox.”

Melody Fox met Minghao Tian’s inquisitive gaze again and said, “The things are already outside. There are a lot of them. Take a look and see how you want to take them back.”

Only then did Ming Skywhite believe her identity, but he still had a look of disbelief on his face.

“W…-Who the hell are you?”

Actually, what he wanted to ask was, on what basis?

Why did she have to marry Ken Swanson, who had been other people’s child” since she was young?

Melody Fox did not answer him and repeated, “The item is already outside. Come out with me to take a look and decide how to deal with it.”

With that, she led the way out of the private room.

Ming Haotian quickly followed her out, leaving the group of people in the private room staring at each other.

Everyone’s eyes conveyed the same message: Where did that ugly monster come from? She could actually extinguish Minghao Tian’s anger?

Chapter 865

The woman in the private room took the opportunity to run out while covering her swollen face.

Instead of staying here and being ridiculed by her peers,

she might as well take leave and go home. After all, Minghao Tian would not be nice to her today.

As soon as the woman ran out, she saw Melody Fox quickly walking in front of her at the other end of the corridor. Ming Haotian was chasing after her and shouting, Hey, wait for me!”

However, the woman she called ugly did not even stop and waited for Minghao Tian.

However, Ming Haotian had no intention of getting angry.

Only then did the woman clearly understand that she had offended someone who might have a higher status than Minghao Tian.

When she thought about how not only did the other party not bear a grudge against her, but she even helped her, she felt both relieved and bitter.

Outside the HOT door.

Melody Fox pointed to the two trunks full of stuff and said, ” That’s all. One car probably won’t fit. You’ll have to call another one.”

She had sent these gifts over. After getting off the plane, she did not need to pick them up herself. Ken Swanson had already arranged for someone to move them.

Therefore, before leaving the hotel, she directly gave the address of the person in charge of the gift and asked him to find a car to transport the things over while she took a taxi empty-handed.

However, Minghao Tian’s attention was not on the gift at all. His eyes were still fixed on her face.

“Are you allergic? Or do you look like this, to begin with?”

Melody Fox was frustrated and helpless.

“I’ve always looked like this. You don’t have to doubt me.

“That’s impossible, right?” Ming Skywhite sized her up again and said, “Brother Ken’s taste can’t be so bad!”

.” Melody Fox reminded him, “Mr. Ming, you’re his uncle. Why are you calling him Brother Ken?”

Wasn’t this a generation difference? Although it meant that Ming Haotian was indeed younger than Ken Swanson… he couldn’t call him brother like this. Couldn’t he just call him by his name?

Ming Skywhite stared at Melody Fox’s face for a long time. Finally, he confirmed that Melody Fox did look like this.

Disdain filled his eyes.

He did not listen to what Melody Fox said at all. His tone was full of questioning as he said, “I thought the rumors were fake. I thought he married an ugly and poor country bumpkin. I didn’t expect it to be true. Hurry up and tell me! Did you play some tricks to climb into Brother Ken’s bed and force him to marry someone like you?!”

Melody Fox’s expression instantly turned cold.

“Minghao Tian, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. Don’t you even know the basics of manners?”

At this moment, Ming Haotian had already gotten over his novelty. His bad temper immediately flared up.

“B*tch! How dare you call me by my full name? Do you think you’re worthy?!”

“I’ve already called you. What do you want?”

Ming Haotian immediately rolled up his sleeves in anger.

“B*tch! I’ll avenge Brother Ken today!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Haotian threw a punch at Melody Fox’s face.

Melody Fox was as still as a mountain. Just as Minghao Tian’s fist was about to hit her nose, Melody quickly grabbed his wrist.

Ming Haotian’s hand froze. Fox could not move forward even half a millimeter.

He could not believe that he was not as strong as a woman. He increased his strength and tried to punch again, but the other party exerted force. He grimaced in pain and did not have the strength to resist.

“Ah… It hurts, it hurts…”

Melody Fox pushed him back five or six steps before he could stabilize himself.

He was angry but had no choice. He could only glare at her and grit his teeth.

“Listen.”

Melody Fox did not want to waste any more energy on Minghao Tian. She said in a half-warning tone, “Ken Swanson and I are truly in love. It’s not up to anyone to question our relationship. I came here because Grandma Margaret told me to hand the gift to you personally. Since you’ve accepted the gift, we’ll mind our own business in the future. However, if you insist on finding trouble, I don’t mind-blowing things up.”

Ming Haotian narrowed his eyes.

“Are you threatening me? Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

Melody Fox raised his chin slightly.

“Then come at me. I’ll consider it my loss if you can even last one move against me.”

“You-“

Ming Haotian was furious, but he had felt how strong Melody Fox was. He could only force himself to say, “I don’t want a woman to lower herself to my level!”

Melody Fox raised his eyebrows slightly.

“In that case, hurry up and tell me where you want to put the gift.”

“Throw it in my car!” Ming Haotian took out his car key and pressed it. The headlights of a big G nearby lit up.

Melody Fox reached out and knocked on the car window.

Immediately, bodyguards got out of the car.

“Move it to that car.”

“Yes!”

The bodyguards moved quickly and transferred the gifts to the car.

“I’ve given it to you. I’ll leave now.”

Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly thought of Minghao Tian’s body, so she added, “There are some things that I hope you can control. If your body collapses, it’s your own. Those escorts might not be clean.” Ming Haotian’s temper immediately flared again.

“It’s none of your business! Even if you and Brother Ken are truly in love, I’m still your elder. It’s none of your business.” Melody Fox nodded.

“Okay, forget I said anything.”

However, just as she turned around and was about to get into the car, Minghao Tian stopped her.

“What is it?” She turned her head.

Minghao Tian frowned and asked, “How is Eldest Aunt’s health?”

“She’s fine.”

“Wasn’t she sick for a long time before? She refused to let us visit her. That illness now…”

Before Minghao Tian could finish his question, Melody Fox answered first, “I’ve cured her.”

When Ming Haotian heard this, he didn’t even say “oh”. He turned around and returned to HOT.

Melody Fox looked at Ming Haotian’s back and shook her head gently.

Knowing that he cared about Margaret Swanson’s health meant that he was not completely finished. However, if this continued, he would not be far from being finished.

However, this had nothing to do with her. In any case, she would never meet Minghao Tian again.

After Ming Haotian entered, the person in charge of the gift said, “Miss Fox, do you want to go back? Take this car back. Young Master bought this car from the branch company here. It’s our own.

“Okay.” Having her own car was much more convenient than taking a taxi.

“Let’s not go back to the hotel first. Let’s go to the nearby Insterimond University.”

“Yes.”

“By the way, those bodyguards from HOT…”

“Miss Fox, don’t worry. We’ve already taken care of it. The KTV has already been bought by the original boss and we’ve communicated with him.”

In other words, Boss Yuan would seal the mouths of those bodyguards for them.

Melody Fox nodded and said, “Since we’ve bought it, let’s find someone to modify it and formalize it. Let’s not do those messy escorting drinks.”

“Don’t worry, everything has been arranged.”

Melody Fox nodded. Ken Swanson’s people had always been reliable. As long as she gave the order, she did not have to worry about anything else.

In less than ten minutes, they arrived at Insterimond University.

Melody Fox got out of the car and went straight to the registration point. She was surprised to find an acquaintance in the registration team.
