Chapter 876
“Miss Fox… Sir?”
Spencer saw that Ken Swanson was also there. After being surprised for a moment, she felt relieved.
Mister’s presence meant that Miss Fox didn’t need him to take care of her anymore. It seemed like he could sleep well tonight.
“Where’s my stuff?”
Spencer quickly came back to his senses and handed a list to Melody Fox.
“This is the list you wanted. However, not everyone on the list will be present. I drew the red circle because it’s confirmed that they will be present.”
Melody Fox nodded slightly and asked, “Are you the only one back? Where’s Aaron Berg?”
“Brother Aaron Berg is still busy, but he will definitely be back before the auction starts tomorrow.”
“I understand. You’ve worked hard. Go back and rest.”
“Miss Fox, you’re welcome. This is what I should do,” Spencer said. He did not dare to disturb Ken Swanson and Melody Fox anymore. After leaving, he closed the door for them. Melody Fox met Ken Swanson’s questioning gaze and explained, “For this trip to Insterimond, I think Ruby Taylor’s performance is a little strange. However, it’s possible that I’m overthinking. However, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I plan to prepare for the worst.” “Are you planning to know yourself and your enemy?” Melody Fox nodded.
Ken Swanson moved his hand away from the keyboard and waved at her, saying, “Come, let me help you take a look at who might be competing with you for the Green Velvet herbs. Most of the people participating in the auction this time should be from Insterimond. You might not know some of them.” Melody Fox wanted to say that Ken Swanson was worrying too much. In her previous life, in order to help Ulric Swanson fight for the inheritance, she had gotten to know many people in Insterimond’s upper-class circle.
Just now, she had also roughly glanced at the name list. Among them were several people who she had roped in Ken Swanson in her previous life.
Perhaps she could take this opportunity to make these people submit to Ken Swanson in this life.
However, her rebirth was a secret that only she knew, so she could only cooperate with Ken Swanson and hand the list to him.
Unexpectedly, after Ken Swanson took the name list and looked at it, his gaze landed on a name.
Melody Fox asked in confusion, “Did you see someone’s name?”
Ken Swanson pointed at the two words “Jian Huan” on the list. He looked at her and said, “We seem to be fated with this Jian Huan.”
Melody Fox saw that Jian Huan was on the list and her name was circled, proving that she would definitely come tomorrow.
Melody Fox was not surprised by this. Instead, she was even more certain of her guess.
“Jian Huan is indeed sick.”
“Yes?”
Melody Fox suddenly said this. At first glance, Ken Swanson thought that she was cursing.
Just as he was about to ask, Melody Fox said again, Because I didn’t take her pulse and she had put on makeup when I saw her, I’m actually not confident that she’s sick. But seeing that she’ll come, I’m completely sure now.”
“Why?”
“Because the Green Velvet herbs have worked wonders on her illness. She wants the green velvet herbs more than I do.”
Ken Swanson finally could not help but ask, “What illness does she have?”
Melody Fox whispered a few words into Ken Swanson’s ear. Ken Swanson’s expression changed. He suddenly smiled and said, “No wonder you said that she must not be sincere to Minghao Tian.”
“Yeah.
“But in this way, wouldn’t you have another competitor? After all, to her, Green Velvet herbs are equivalent to her life-saving elixir.”
“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. There’s always a way.”
Just before the two of them fell asleep, Aaron Berg returned.
He was afraid of disturbing Ken Swanson and Melody Fox, so he chose to send a message to Melody Fox.
The content of the message confirmed Melody Fox’s guess. “In the past, it had nothing to do with Ruby Taylor. Now, there’s only one place that I’ve suddenly come into contact with frequently, and that’s the Murphy family. Moreover, I’ve investigated. A property that was originally under the name of the Murphy family people suddenly changed its property rights. Now, the owner of the property rights is Mr. Lou.
After reading it, Melody Fox’s eyes darkened even more. the Murphy family was really aggressive…
No wonder Ruby Taylor’s attitude became so abnormal when she saw her this time.
Jian Huan had already decided on Green Velvet herbs, and the couple obviously knew about it.
However, since they already knew, they did not reveal a single word to her. She could not help but feel disappointed, as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest.
Right at this moment, Ken Swanson received a call. “Alright, I understand.”
He hung up and looked at Melody Fox. “I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
“Hmm… Good news, I guess.”
“The good news is that I helped you find the person who won the Green Velvet herbs at the auction last time. And the Green Velvet herbs in his hand haven’t been used yet.”
Melody Fox tons Fox’s eyes lit up.
“No wonder you’ve been calling from the balcony since you read the list.”
“Can I really leave you to deal with this alone?”
Melody Fox was about to laugh, but when he thought of what Ken Swanson had just said, he immediately turned serious and asked, “What about the bad news?”
“The bad news is that his wife has just fallen seriously ill and needs Green Velvet herbs. I’ve asked someone to negotiate with him. If we can cure her, he’ll give us the Green Velvet herbs as a consultation fee.”
Melody Fox understood.
“You want me to treat his wife in exchange for the Green Velvet herbs in his hands.”
“Right.”
“That’s not a problem. If I really can’t get the Green Velvet herbs at the auction tomorrow, I can still find this gentleman. But don’t worry, if I successfully get the Green Velvet herbs tomorrow, I’ll help his wife take a look.”
“Yes, I knew you were kind, so I’ve already reached a consensus with him. Besides, they’re in their hometown. now. They can only return to Room Insterimond the day after tomorrow. It won’t delay the auction’s time.” “Sure.”
Melody Fox heaved a sigh of relief. His anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
However, when she thought about how Ruby Taylor, who had always been kind and warm to her, had lied to her, she could not feel better.
This feeling of being deceived and even betrayed was really very uncomfortable.
For the entire night, Melody Fox tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Ken Swanson turned sideways and hugged her tightly. He patted her back gently and coaxed her to sleep as if he was coaxing a child. Only then did Melody Fox slowly fall asleep.
However, in a daze, she suddenly felt as if her soul had been pulled out of her body.
When she opened her eyes, she actually returned to the operating table before she died in her previous life.
Similar to her previous dreams, her body became transparent and floated in the air.
Under her was Mabel Fox & Yolanda Fox- the mother and daughter. Meanwhile, Ulric Swanson was standing expressionlessly at the entrance of the operating theater.
What was going on? Was she dreaming again?
Coincidentally, the door of the operating theater was suddenly kicked open by someone outside.
An extremely familiar face entered Melody Fox’s sight. Ken Swanson!
It was him again.
The last time he dreamed, he also appeared in this scene. Just like in the previous dream, Ken Swanson’s face was gloomy and his entire body was filled with dissatisfaction. He kicked Ulric Swanson, who was standing in front of him, and took out a pistol from his pocket. He aimed it at Mabel Fox’s forehead.
Chapter 877
With a loud bang, before Mabel could say anything, she had already fallen into a pool of blood with her eyes wide open.
Soon, her pupils dilated and she lost all signs of life.
Yolanda Fox didn’t come back to her senses until Mabel Fox’s blood flowed to the soles of her shoes.
“Wei, Mabel!!!”
Yolanda Fox was about to crouch down and carry Mabel Fox when another gunshot rang out. The back of Yolanda Fox’s head was hit by a bullet and she fell straight onto Mabel Fox’s body.
Two overlapping corpses fell into Melody Fox’s line of sight. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
Did Ken Swanson just… kill Yolanda Fox and her daughter? Did he kill them for me?
On the other side, Ulric Swanson was also in great shock.
“Are you crazy?”
Ken Swanson did not even look at Ulric Swanson. He shouted at the door in a low voice, “Everyone, come in.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people barged in from outside the operating theater. Led by James Deeds, they pressed Ulric Swanson to the ground.
“Take him away!” Ken Swanson waved his hand and walked straight to the operating table without looking at Ulric Swanson again.
Melody Fox looked at herself on the operating table. She could not tell reality from a dream.
If this was a dream, how could it be so real and repetitive?
But if it wasn’t a dream, how could she explain her floating and transparent state?
Meanwhile, Melody and Ken Swanson had already walked to the operating table.
Just as Melody Fox held her breath and waited to see what Ken Swanson would do, Someone suddenly shook her shoulder hard.
“Melody? Melody…”
Melody Fox suddenly opened her eyes and saw Ken Swanson in a suit standing by the bed. He held her shoulder with one hand and tried to wake her up.
Melody Fox was confused for two seconds before she came back to her senses.
She had been reborn.
This was a hotel in Insterimond.
She was dreaming just now.
“Melody?” Ken Swanson waved his hand in front of Melody Fox’s eyes and asked worriedly, “Are you feeling unwell?” Melody Fox had never slept deeply. Even the slightest movement when he woke up would wake her up, let alone someone like today who was already awake but still in a daze.
He subconsciously reached out to touch Melody Fox’s forehead. Seeing that the temperature on her forehead was not high, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Melody Fox finally came to her senses. “I had a strange dream.”
Upon hearing this, Ken Swanson realized that she was not sick but had a nightmare. He felt completely relieved.
He laid down beside her and wrapped Melody Fox’s body tightly with the blanket. He asked patiently and gently,” What nightmare did you have?”
“I dreamed…”
Melody Fox did not know how to describe the dream.
After thinking for two seconds, she picked up a few points and said, “I dreamed that I was killed by Mabel Fox. Then, you helped me take revenge and killed Mabel Fox.”
Ken Swanson subconsciously tightened his grip on her. “Don’t be afraid. It’s just a dream. Think about it. How can she touch a single strand of your hair? With me around, I definitely won’t let you suffer any harm.”
Melody Fox nodded and curled up in Ken Swanson’s arms. However, at this moment, Ken Swanson spoke again.
“Speaking of which, I had a strange dream a while ago.”
“What dream?” Melody Fox looked up into Ken Swanson’s eyes.
His eyes were very dark, unlike hers. They were a little brown, so they looked much sharper than others. However, when she saw Ken Swanson’s eyes, the heavy feeling in her heart caused by the dream dissipated. Ken Swanson gently combed the hair on her forehead and said, “My dream was quite strange. I realized that I had turned into a ball of fog… I couldn’t tell if it was air or fog, but no one around me could see me. I saw you lying on the operating table, and a person who looked exactly like me forced his way into the operating theater.”
Melody Fox’s face suddenly turned pale.
Ken Swanson noticed her expression and asked with a smile, “What’s going on? You’re actually frightened by my dream again?”
Melody Fox tried her best to look calm.
She swallowed hard and asked, “Is there… anyone else in the operating theater?”
“Yes, There was.”
“…Who?”
“Mabel Fox, Ulric Swanson, and Mabel Fox’s dead mother are also there,” Ken Swanson said. He rubbed her head and said, “Since Yolanda Fox, this dead person, is in a dream, it means that this is a dream without any logic, so there’s no need to be afraid.”
Melody Fox opened her mouth. She really wanted to tell him that the dream she had should be exactly the same as her.
It was just that the perspective had changed from her to him.
But she swallowed the words.
At this moment, she suddenly understood.
That was not a dream at all!
Instead, her and Ken Swanson’s souls had returned to the time when she had died in her previous life!
Melody Fox felt a chill run down her spine.
She was afraid. She was afraid that if Ken Swanson knew her secret, he would think that she was a monster.
What was even more terrifying was that she was afraid that she would never be able to return after entering that dream again.
Since it was not a dream and she had returned to her previous life, he could not be sure if she would be lucky enough to return to the present every time.
“Melody, are you alright?” Ken Swanson reached out to hold her hand outside, only to find a layer of cold sweat on her palm.
“What are you…”
Melody Fox pinched her thigh with her other hand and tried her best to maintain her composure.
“I’m fine.” She forced a smile. “Maybe I didn’t sleep well. I’m a little dizzy.”
“Do you want me to call a doctor?”
“No need. I’m a doctor myself. Have you forgotten?”
“But you look awful.”
“That’s because my period is coming soon,” Melody Fox lied.
Ken Swanson said, “Your period is at the end of the month. There’s still half a month before the end of the month.”
“How did you-“
Ken Swanson glanced at her and asked, “Tell me the truth. Where are you feeling unwell?”
Melody Fox gritted her teeth and said, “It might be hypoglycemia.”
“You…”
“Get me some breakfast first. I promise that I’ll be fine after eating. If you don’t believe me, you can look at my condition until you’re satisfied.”
Ken Swanson was skeptical, but when he thought that it was indeed time for breakfast, he walked to the bed and made a call.
“Bring in the breakfast.”
After the call, Ken Swanson sat on the bed again and said, If you still look so pale after breakfast, you have to go to the hospital with me. Do you understand?”
“I understand…”
She tried her best to smile, but her heart was still in turmoil.
Not long after, Aaron Berg personally pushed the hotel’s food cart in.
She saw that the cart was filled with Insterimond specialty breakfasts, including old Insterimond bean juice, and other heavy-tasting things that ordinary people could not accept. Melody Fox knew at a glance that it was not the breakfast in the hotel. She heard Ken Swanson explain, “I thought that since it’s your first time in Insterimond, I didn’t bring you around yesterday, so I asked Aaron Berg to gather Insterimond’s special breakfast. If you don’t feel uncomfortable after eating later, I’ll bring you around.”
Chapter 878
Of course, this was not the first time Melody Fox had come to Insterimond.
However, after being interrupted by Ken Swanson and the various breakfasts, the fear of “dreams” in her heart faded a lot.
Until she drank Insterimond bean juice, the indescribably strange smell made her forget all her fears. She only thought about rinsing her mouth and brushing her teeth and remembered nothing else.
Therefore, after the two of them finished breakfast, Melody Fox’s expression changed for the better. She looked no different from a normal person.
“It seems like there’s really nothing going on.” Ken Swanson observed her expression and said, “But it’s still early for us to go out. Do you want to sleep a little longer, or do you want to go out with us now?”
Melody Fox quickly said, “I don’t like to sleep when I wake up. Let’s go shopping. Where are we going?”
“Let’s go to the GDP of Insterimond and see if there’s anything you want. Also, choose the clothes for the auction tonight.”
Melody Fox pointed at her luggage.
“I brought a few sets of clothes over. You don’t have to specially buy new ones, right?”
“Looks like Spencer and the others didn’t ask in that direction.” “Yes?”
“At the auction tonight, everyone will wear the same gown.” “Fine…”
She had been so focused on inquiring about the names of the people who had participated in the auction that these details were not within her consideration at all.
In addition, Spencer was a man and would always wear the same style of clothes, so he would not pay attention to what to wear at the auction.
Melody Fox could not help but feel warm inside.
“It’s a good thing I have you. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’d be embarrassed tonight.”
Even if she changed into a gown, everyone would still stay away from her when they saw her face. However, at least she did not make any mistakes.
“It’s not embarrassing. When we officially hold our wedding, even if you wear flip-flops to attend such a banquet, there will be many people supporting you.”
Melody Fox shrugged. “Then I prefer the current situation. It can save a lot of trouble.”
On the way, the two of them chatted about the wedding.
Melody Fox said, “I still hope that the wedding can be held later. As you know, we are in troubled times now…”
“I know, I know.”
As Ken Swanson spoke, he pulled her into his arms and pretended to ask casually, “If it’s a beach wedding or a lawn wedding, which one would you prefer?”
He had now found two places to pre-select for the wedding venue.
However, in the next second, Melody Fox said, “I want to hold a church wedding.”
Ken Swanson was stunned and looked down at her.
“Why? I remember… you don’t have any special beliefs.” Melody Fox shook her head and said, “This has nothing to do with faith. It’s just that when I happened to see the wedding on television, she had been looking forward to a church wedding. But now… I just feel that holding a wedding in such a sacred place would make the marriage stronger. But we’ll talk about it when the time is right. We’ll listen to Margaret Swanson’s suggestions.”
However, Ken Swanson had already memorized Melody Fox’s words.
A church wedding…
He quickly ran through the major churches around the world in his mind, thinking about which one was suitable for a wedding.
Melody had never left the country before. In addition, she definitely had to hire Herbathrive’s helpers, so it was better to do it in the country.
However, there was no special church wedding in the country…
Why don’t we build one just for the wedding?
It was built on a beautiful lawn, which was best by the sea. Ken Swanson closed his eyes and pondered. His brows slowly furrowed because he was thinking about something. When Melody Fox saw Ken Swanson frown and close his eyes, she misunderstood. She thought that he was tired, so she reached out and slowly pinched the tiger’s mouth for him.
The purlicue was a good acupuncture point. If one felt a little uncomfortable, they would feel much better after pressing it. It could even treat mild motion sickness.
As expected, Ken Swanson’s frown quickly disappeared. In fact, Ken Swanson had already roughly decided on the location.
It was by the sea, but there was no lawn. But it didn’t matter. The lawn was all raised. He could start asking them to raise a lawn right now.
Traffic in Insterimond was even more congested than in Silverlake. Even if it wasn’t the Alpine Phase, they still had to spend some time to reach the mall they wanted.
Melody Fox got out of the car and saw the huge Swanson Group badge hanging on the mall building. She understood why he did not choose the mall near the hotel.
-It’s better to be able to shop in your own shop than in someone else’s.
Melody Fox heaved a sigh of relief. She rubbed her fists and prepared to shop one by one. However, Ken Swanson brought her directly to a hidden VVIP room on the top floor.
The VVIP room was highly decorated with sophistication and wealth. There was only a long white sofa, a huge mirror, and a glass of coffee on the sofa. There was a bathroom and nothing else.
“Aren’t we shopping? Why are we in this… empty place?” Before Ken Swanson could answer, someone knocked on the door and a respectful voice sounded-
“Young Master, I’m the person in charge of the mall.” “Enter.”
Ken Swanson pulled Melody Fox to the sofa and sat down. Melody Fox looked over in confusion and saw two middle-aged men in suits walking in.
One of them was short, but very fat. His head was also very big. The other was tall and thin, and his head seemed to have been cut off. It was sharp and long.
She wanted to laugh when she saw it.
Wasn’t this the real-life version of a big-headed son and a small-headed father? However, they were only colleagues here.
After the two of them introduced themselves, the tall man snapped his fingers and several rows of shelves filled with clothes and bags were pushed in.
Her eyes widened.
So… she could choose clothes just by sitting here?
It was convenient. At least she didn’t have to walk so many floors.
However, reality was even more effortless than she had imagined, because she did not even need to try on the clothes herself.
The short man found a model who was about the same height and size as her and helped her try them on one by one.
Melody Fox tried very hard to calm herself down.
But she thought of something else.
In her previous life, she had also lived as Ulric Swanson’s wife for a while. However, she had never enjoyed such treatment, even though Ulric Swanson had already become the Swanson Group’s chairman.
Whether he was sincere or not, it was actually reflected in such a small matter.
In due time, her eyes were a little red-she was touched.
However, the clothes felt better when she tried them on herself.
Melody Fox asked the models to leave while she picked them up herself.
There were a total of three sets. Two of them were for the next two days, and the other was for the evening.
As for the bags and jewelry, before she could choose, Ken Swanson said, “Wrap them up and send them to the hotel.” Melody Fox looked at him in surprise. Ken Swanson explained, “When you go out, you have to bring some gifts for your friends. Those are all new models. Girls will like them.”
Chapter 879
Melody Fox thought about it. She indeed had a few people who wanted to give her gifts, so she did not reject Ken Swanson’s good intentions.
After a series of operations, Melody Fox deeply felt that it was simply inhumane!
But it felt so good!
She liked it!
But speaking of which, if she were to reveal her assets now, it would actually scare many people to death. It was just that this was the first time she really felt what spending money was, and not that money was a number, so the feeling was a little more real.
In her previous life, most of the money she earned had actually gone to Ulric Swanson’s pocket.
Not long after, the tall and short men came over to report. “Young Master, everything is packed and sent to the hotel.” Ken Swanson nodded. “You guys did well. I’m not worried about leaving the mall to you guys.”
Because he was touched to see Melody Fox just now, he was rarely so pleasant. When the two people in charge saw this, their suspenseful hearts fell to the ground.
“Alright, go back to your work. I’ve delayed your work too much.”
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. It’s our honor to work for you.”
The two of them quickly said words of flattery before leaving.
A few minutes later.
The two of them discussed Ken Swanson on the way back to the office.
“I don’t think the eldest young master is as scary as the rumors from Silverlake say.”
“I think so too. Not only is he not scary, but he’s also quite amiable. He even joked with me just now.”
“That’s why we just have to listen to the rumors about wealthy families. There’s no need to believe them.”
Melody Fox happened to come out to take a look at the mall at Ken Swanson when she received a work call. In the end, she heard the content of the tall and short man’s discussion. She felt a little complicated.
Ken Swanson was not a scary person to begin with. In fact, he was not scary at all.
However, after the rumor of “crippling his younger brother’s legs” spread, everyone subconsciously kept a respectful distance from him. Meanwhile, Ken Swanson himself also liked to use indifference as a mask and a shield to protect his heart from harm.
As time passed, everyone felt that he was an unapproachable and difficult person to talk to.
However, after interacting with him for a long time, she realized that his identity and family background were just like ordinary people.
He also had emotions. If others treated him well, he would treat them well, and vice versa.
How could there be someone who was born cold?
If there was really someone who was born cold, it would be Ulric Swanson, not Ken Swanson.
However, since it was a framing, the truth would come out one day.
And she had a feeling that this day was getting closer. “What happened?”
Ken Swanson had not seen Melody Fox for a long time. When he found her, he realized that Melody Fox was stunned on the spot. No one knew what she was thinking. He could not help but walk forward and ask, “Are you feeling unwell again?”
“No… I was just thinking about something. I’ve already bought everything. Shall we go back?”
“I’m afraid we can’t go back to the hotel first.”
Melody Fox thought of the phone call just now and asked, Do you have something to do in the company? I’ll go back first.”
“It’s not about the company. It’s about the Mont family…”
After Ken Swanson explained in a few words, Melody Fox immediately understood.
Elder Ming had clearly heard what she said to Ken Swanson yesterday.
Not only had he cut off Minghao Tian’s source of income last night, but he had also informed everyone he knew that he had cut off his father-son relationship with Minghao Tian.
This was not enough. There was even a banquet at noon today because he had acknowledged the son of a distant relative as his son.
After everything was ready, Elder Ming called and asked her and Ken Swanson to go to the house for lunch. It could be considered that they had to meet the Mont family’s future “heir.” “So that’s how it is.” Melody Fox shook her head and sighed. “We made such a big detour just to make Minghao Tian, this prodigal son, turn back. I hope he can turn back as soon as possible and see who’s truly doing this for his own good.”
“I’m afraid this will take years. When the news reaches his ears, I’m afraid he’ll only hate his father and us more.”
Melody Fox shrugged and said, “Since there’s a free lunch, let’s go!”
After about 30 minutes, Melody Fox finally arrived at the Mont family gate.
Looking at the door of the Mont family, she could not help but feel emotional.
In order not to trouble her, Margaret Swanson specially asked her to give the gift outside. There was no need to make a special trip home.
In the end, she still came.
However, after Melody Fox entered, she did not feel that the Mont family’s aunts and uncles were difficult to deal with. There was no other reason. With Ken Swanson sitting by her side, let alone pestering her, no one even dared to come up and greet her.
It was only when Old Master Ming brought his son over to toast that the group of people dared to stand up in unison and toast them.
Melody Fox’s alcohol tolerance could not be said to be bad. It could be said to be very bad, so her glass was filled with orange juice.
After taking a sip, Melody Fox secretly sized up the son that Old Master Ming had acknowledged while the man was talking.
If she were in the other party’s shoes, she would definitely not be happy because no matter how she looked at it, this son was acknowledged for Minghao Tian. This new son was a tool.
She even sympathized with him.
However, she was also worried for the Mont family.
What if he did not acknowledge a son but a jackal that was eyeing the Mont family covetously?
Thinking of this did not mean that Minghao Tian could change his mind. The entire Mont family could be swallowed by this new son.
However, when Melody Fox looked up and sized him up, she was dumbfounded.
She had interacted with this “new son” in her previous life. In two years, he would become Halcyon’s most eye-catching and the youngest and most handsome super rich the Mont family, Ming Yiheng!
The superweapon he invented made Halcyon’s status in the world rise by several levels!
Heavens, didn’t Old Master Ming acknowledge a son? He had found a thigh to hug!
Melody Fox still remembered that in her previous life, she had met him on the eve of his invention’s release. She had already regretted waiting for the perfect opportunity. Why didn’t she get to know him earlier? In this life… under a freak combination of circumstances, she actually got to know him so early.
At the thought of this, Melody Fox could not help but stand up and leave. She took the initiative to greet the other party. “Hello, my name is Melody Fox.”
the Mont family people basically knew about Ming Yiheng’s family situation, so they more or less looked down on him. They felt that he was a despicable person who had gotten his way and soared into the sky. Therefore, very few people took the initiative to greet him the entire night.
As for the people who were not from the Mont family today, everyone was only focused on talking to Old Mister Ming and Ken Swanson. How could they care about him?
Therefore, the entire banquet was almost translucent.
Seeing Melody Fox took the initiative to greet him, Ming Yiheng was obviously stunned.
“Ms Fox… Mrs. Swanson… No, I…”
Ming Yiheng obviously didn’t know how to address her.
Melody Fox smiled gently and said, “Just call me Melody.” “How can I do that?”
She was Ken Swanson’s wife!
“Why not?” Melody Fox continued to smile warmly. “In terms of seniority, I have to call you uncle!”
Chapter 880
Ming Yiheng’s face turned red.
“You, don’t call me that…”
Melody Fox had interacted with Ming Yiheng in her previous life and knew that although he was extremely talented in inventing, he was especially introverted and shy. In everyone’s words, he was “sensible.”
Melody Fox understood how sensible he was.
His parents had died when he was young and he had grown up with the help of his relatives. What could he do if he was insensible? No one would spoil him.
Therefore, she had a faint feeling of appreciation for the martial artists who spoke to Ming Yiheng.
Perhaps it was because her attitude was not overly fawning, and there was no sympathy or pity from her relatives. As the two of them chatted, they surprisingly hit it off.
Melody Fox also sincerely reminded him, “If that bastard Minghao Tian comes looking for you, you must remember to inform your family. Avoid him if you can. I can tell that after that kid gets angry, he will do anything.”
Even though he knew that she was Ken Swanson’s wife, he still wanted to get someone to capture her and give her to the Murphy family. What else could he not do?
Ming Yiheng lowered his eyes and said, “I know. I’ll avoid him.”
Melody Fox nodded.
She had only come to talk to Ming Yiheng today to form a good relationship. After all, super weapons would only be invented two years later and would shock the world.
If she intervened too early, she was afraid that something would go wrong and change the future.
Unexpectedly, Ming Yiheng really had a heart-to-heart with her. Just as she was about to return to her seat, he suddenly said, “I know Godfather is just using me.”
Melody Fox was stunned and suddenly looked at Ming Yiheng.
Seeing his calm expression, it was as if he already knew and had long accepted this fact.
Melody Fox was even more shocked.
“Y-you…”
Ming Yiheng smiled and said, “You want to ask me why I accept it when I know that they’re just using me and that I’ll become a superfluous person once Minghao returns?” “Well…”
In any case, Ming Yiheng, who could be called “great” in the future, was definitely not doing it for money.
However, as soon as this thought popped up, she heard Ming Yiheng say, “Because I need money.”
Melody Fox’s expression froze on her face.
Such a genius… loved money too?
Ming Yiheng lowered his head and said, “Insterimond University is different from ordinary universities. Its learning tasks are even heavier than the students in the third year of high school. I don’t even have a part-time job now. Last night, I was wondering if I should apply for a student loan and settle next year’s tuition fees when my godfather came to me. So even though I guessed the real reason why he suddenly acknowledged me as his son, I still agreed. I want to spend more time on studies and research, not washing dishes in the restaurant.”
Upon hearing the word “research”, Melody Fox’s eyelids twitched twice.
She couldn’t help but ask, “What are you researching now?”
“Just making some small inventions. These two days, I’ve been researching how to make the cleaning robot more intelligent. It’s a topic given by the teacher.”
Melody Fox’s eyelids twitched again. She said, “Do you want to consider going to work at a technology company after graduation or summer vacation? Their boss is my friend.
He needs clean college students like you.”
Ming Yiheng thought about it and felt that he would soon be hated by the Mont family. When he heard that it was a technology company, he asked, “What’s the name of that company?”
“Ximber Tech.”
“I’ve heard of it before. It’s a smart home… However, I’m actually not very interested in smart homes.”
Melody Fox quickly said, “They also invest in technology projects. If you lack funds for research in the future, you can look for Ximber Tech.”
“Will they… approve the funding for a university student like me?”
“Yes,” Melody Fox said with absolute certainty. “Definitely.” “Alright, I’ll remember it. If there’s a chance in the future… But for now, I just want to learn the content taught by the teacher first before using the classrooms to do research.”
As Ming Yiheng spoke, he looked at her gratefully and said, ” Thank you. It’s been a long time since someone listened to me so seriously. I can tell that you’re trying to help me by mentioning Ximber Tech. But for someone like me, my future is destined to be uncertain…”
He said all this because it had been too long since he had found someone to talk to.
Although he did not know why Ken Swanson’s wife wanted to chat with him, she was very sincere, so he was willing to reveal his heart to her.
Melody Fox frowned when she heard that.
“What do you mean by someone like you? Are you saying that your parents are dead? My situation is similar to yours, but I’ve never belittled myself. I believe in a saying that when the heavens are about to give a great responsibility to a person, they will first have to suffer through their will and muscles.”
Ming Yiheng was stunned and stared at her blankly.
The heavens were about to give him a great responsibility…
He slowly clenched his fists and swore in his heart that he would definitely make a name for himself. He would not be like today, willing to be someone else’s chess piece for a sum of tuition fees.
“I see what you mean. Thank you.”
Melody Fox’s emotions also calmed down. Her good karma with Ming Yiheng could be considered to have been formed, right?
Coincidentally, Ken Swanson called her again. She exchanged phone numbers with Ming Yiheng and hurriedly said, “Call me if you need funds for the research.” Then, she ran towards Ken Swanson.
Ming Yiheng looked at Melody Fox’s departing figure and became even more determined.
That’s right. If someone as ugly as Miss Fox could become the wife of a proud person like Ken Swanson, what could he not do?
Perhaps he should take out the research topic that he thought was impossible and do it again.
(Melody Fox: I thank you???)
Ken Swanson said goodbye to the Mont family. After getting into the car, he asked her, “What did you say to the Mont family’s adopted son? I saw that the two of you chatted for a long time.”
Melody Fox could not say that he had poached someone who would be very impressive in the future for Ximber Tech, so she hesitated and said, “At first, I just went over to say hello. I didn’t expect him to know a friend of mine, so we chatted.”
Ken Swanson did not give up. “Which friend?”
Melody Fox remained calm. “Zhang Wenwen. You met her yesterday.”
Ken Swanson was about to continue asking when he heard a commotion outside.
The two of them looked in the direction of the voice and saw Minghao Tian being thrown out by the Mont family people in a sorry state.
The car they were in had yet to drive away, so they could clearly see Ming Haotian getting up from the ground unwillingly. He pointed at the group of people who followed him out and scolded, “I’m the only heir of the Mont family! Are you all blind? How dare you throw me out! Hurry up and get that guy who took over the magpie’s nest to come out! I’ll beat him to death today!”
Ken Swanson frowned, while Melody Fox shook her head.
“At this stage, you still don’t reflect on yourself and only blame others. You’re really spoiled!”
Melody Fox was about to reply when Old Master Ming walked out with Ming Yiheng.
Chapter 881
Old Master Ming leaned on his walking stick while Ming Yiheng held his other hand. He looked like a loving father and filial son.
This scene deeply hurt Ming Minghao Tian’s eyes.
He had never felt that the steps in front of the Mont family door were so high.
If the old man had stopped his card last night, he would not have felt anything in his heart. He felt that the old man would recover his card soon and was worried that he would starve and freeze…
Now that he saw this scene, he finally began to feel afraid.
In the past, in order to woo Jian Huan, his grades had plummeted from the top of the list. He did not even get into university.
Later on, thanks to his connections with the Swanson family and the Mont family, no matter how bad his grades were, he still managed to get a university graduation certificate. Now that he had graduated a few years ago, he was still living the life of a pampered young master.
And he never had to worry about his livelihood. The Mont family’s money was enough for him to squander until his next life.
However, now that he saw how close Ming Yiheng was to his father, he finally realized that once he left the Mont family, he would be nothing and would be completely reduced to the streets.
“Dad…”
Minghao Tian finally panicked. He forced a smile and said, “You’re joking with me, right? Why did you suddenly acknowledge an orphan like Ming Yiheng as your son? You have me as your biological son.”
However, Old Master Ming didn’t bother to say another
word to him. He directly ordered the bodyguard, “Chase this troublemaker away!”
After saying that, he said to Ming Yiheng with a loving expression, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to the company now and take a look at the businesses you’re going to inherit in the future.”
Ming Haotian, who had been driven to the side of the road, was furious when he heard this.
“Dad!! You’re actually bringing him to the company?! Are you really going to hand the company over to a guy with someone else’s blood?!”
This time, Old Master Ming didn’t even look at Ming Haotian. He got into the car with Ming Yiheng’s help.
The car sped away, spraying exhaust fumes all over Minghao Tian’s face.
The butler walked forward with a smile. “Young Master… Oh, no, I should call you Mr. Ming Haotian. You were wrong just now. Although Young Master Yiheng is not Old Master’s biological son, he is still a collateral relative of the Mont family. The blood flowing in his body is also surnamed Ming.”
Minghao Tian’s eyes widened.
Damn it, he almost forgot that Ming Yiheng originally had the Mont family people. It was just that his parents had passed away early, so he rarely appeared in the Mont family.
The butler continued, “Moreover, Young Master Yiheng is different from you. He entered the University of Insterimond with almost full marks. His future is limitless. Moreover, he doesn’t have to worry about his parents finding him even more than the children in the orphanage. He’s a good child that everyone knows. As for you? Hehe. I think if it were you, you would also choose Young Master Yiheng and not someone like you who spends your days in all kinds of godforsaken places, right?”
Ming Haotian watched in disbelief as the butler, who had taken good care of him in the past and practically watched him grow up, actually looked at him with disgust.
“Old Hu, are you crazy? Who allowed you to speak to me like that?!”
Butler Hu waved his hand and said, “Since you don’t like to hear it, I won’t say anything. Don’t just stand there. Send the guest out! If he dares to come over again, call the police and say that he wants to break into the house.”
“You-“
Minghao Tian was just about to curse when he saw that the bodyguard had actually called the police.
“Hello, the police station?”
Minghao Tian was so frightened that he immediately ran away and soon disappeared.
As soon as he left, Butler Hu, who was forcing himself to look down on him, immediately turned red. He instructed a few bodyguards to quietly follow Minghao Tian in case something really happened to him. Then, he turned around and returned to the Mont family.
Across the road.
Melody Fox watched the entire process clearly.
She clicked her tongue and said, “The Mont family has finally put all their acting skills to good use for Minghao.” Ken Swanson’s eyes were deep.
“If this can’t save him, I don’t want this son.”
Melody Fox strongly agreed.
Unfortunately, Ming Yiheng was just a signboard from the beginning to the end. To put it bluntly, he was just a pawn for Old Master Ming to save his son.
Thinking of this, Melody Fox mentioned Ming Yiheng to Ken Swanson again.
“I didn’t talk to him much, but I can feel that he’s a very intelligent person. If there’s a chance in the future, we might be able to help him. If he becomes successful in the future, we won’t ask him for anything in return. We just need him not to stand against us.”
In her previous life, if Ming Yiheng followed his original path, he would definitely have been taken under Ulric Swanson’s wing.
She did not want this to happen in her life.
However, after Melody Fox finished speaking, she realized that Ken Swanson was looking at her strangely.
That gaze seemed to be able to penetrate her body and look straight at her soul.
“You… Why are you looking at me like that?” Melody Fox scratched her neck uncomfortably.
“No.” Ken Swanson calmly retracted his gaze and said, “I’ll listen to you.”
Melody Fox felt even more uneasy.
Ken Swanson’s gaze just now seemed to be able to read the secret in her heart.
Fortunately, Ken Swanson quickly changed the topic.
“Do you want to go to the Great Wall? There’s a saying in Halcyon: If you don’t go to the Great Wall, you’re not a good man.”
Melody Fox asked in confusion, “Didn’t you say that you were busy today and couldn’t accompany me to the press conference? Why are you suddenly so free?”
Ken Swanson raised his eyebrows and said, “I originally arranged to meet Li Ming this morning, but they probably have a guilty conscience and have been changing their meeting with me.”
‘You didn’t see him yesterday?’
“I received a call from you yesterday after I was done with the branch company, so I didn’t have time to see him. However, he still has some brains. He knows that I was the one who led the branch company, and there are my spies everywhere, so he doesn’t dare to attack the branch company of Insterimond. However, his people have slowly begun to want to infiltrate. I deliberately left a few loopholes yesterday, just waiting for him to sneak in later.”
Melody Fox nodded and asked, “Then what if he keeps avoiding the meeting?”
“It doesn’t matter. He’ll see me sooner or later. Although he hasn’t infiltrated Insterimond’s branch office yet, he still has a position in the branch office. If he changes his mind again, I’ll directly dismiss him on the grounds that I can’t reassign him. After that, he’ll start to panic because he’s afraid that he won’t be able to take over Insterimond’s branch office again.”
“Then what do you want to do when you see him this time?” “I mainly want to warn him. Because I know that the mastermind is not him, but his second wife two years ago. If he understands what I mean and takes the initiative to work for me, I can spare him this time.”
Melody Fox nodded and leaned her head on Ken Swanson’s shoulder. “In that case, let’s have fun during the day. Come to think of it, we’ve never spent a day like ordinary couples.” “Okay.” Ken Swanson held Melody Fox’s head to prevent her from sliding off his shoulder. He instructed the driver, “Go to Insterimond’s various attractions.”
Chapter 882
Melody Fox was awake and would not have slipped off his shoulder at all. However, his subconscious action of holding her still warmed her heart.
The two of them ran to most of the scenic spots in Insterimond. In order to avoid the gazes of others, she even specially put on a mask.
The two of them could finally shop and take photos as an ordinary couple… They could eat at roadside stalls and experience everything an ordinary couple could feel.
Melody Fox spent the entire afternoon feeling very satisfied. She even hoped that they would be an ordinary couple who stood inconspicuously in the crowd and only needed to worry about daily necessities.
Unlike now, when she was worried about being schemed against by countless people or thinking about how to deal with others the moment she opened her eyes.
However, dreams always wake up. The ringtone of Ken Swanson broke the rare silence.
“Hello?”
No one knew what the person on the other end of the line said, but Ken Swanson said, “Second Uncle, you’re finally willing to see me?”
Meanwhile, Melody Fox also received a call from Aaron Berg.
“Miss Fox, I’m done. Other than the Murphy family, there’s also the Swanson family and Li Ming.”
Upon hearing this, Melody Fox frowned.
Aaron Berg continued, “However, I followed the clues and found out that the Murphy family first contacted the Swanson family’s team before looking for the Taylor family. So I think there must be something fishy going on.”
Melody Fox suddenly thought of the changes in Ruby Taylor and had a feeling they were gradually approaching the truth.
However, she was still standing in the fog. It seemed that if she took a few more steps, she would understand everything.
From the looks of it, she had to go to today’s auction, even though she already knew in her heart that the Green Velvelt herbs auction tonight would most likely not belong to her.
“I understand. Come back quickly. Don’t investigate anything else first. I’ll discuss it with Ken Swanson.” “Yes.”
After Melody Fox hung up, Ken Swanson also hung up. She was the first to ask, “From what you said to the person on the other end of the phone… was it Li Ming?”
“Yes.” Ken Swanson nodded and said, “He probably knows that he can’t avoid it, so he asked me to meet him at the branch company after he’s half a year younger than Dad. However, I think he took the initiative to call because of his wife. His wife should have guessed that if he continued to avoid me, it would only make them look more guilty, so she simply asked him to meet me. His wife… is really extraordinary. At least, she’s more capable than Li Ming.” Melody Fox nodded and said, “Then bring Aaron Berg along, just in case. After all, the other party knows witchcraft. This thing is impossible to guard against, and I can’t go with you.”
“I’ll leave Aaron Berg to you. Li Ming won’t dare to do anything to me.”
Ken Swanson’s tone was very firm. Melody Fox knew that he could not refuse, so he could only nod.
Then, she said again, “By the way, Aaron Berg called me just now.”
As she spoke, she told Ken Swanson what Aaron Berg had found out today.
“the Murphy family and Li Ming?” He frowned and said, “It
seems that Li Ming has really roped in all the people he can. We discovered it too late.”
“It’s not too late. I have a feeling that I’ll find out about these three families tonight. What’s going on and what complicated relationships do they have.”
As they spoke, the vendor selling cotton candy waved at them.
“Sir, Miss, the marshmallows you bought are ready.”
The two of them looked at each other and lost their relaxed mood.
Melody Fox walked over to pay and casually gave the cotton candy to a child nearby.
The child was very polite. Even though he was shocked by her appearance, he restrained his fear and said, “Thank you, Auntie.”
With that, he turned around and ran.
“Auntie…”
Melody Fox laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “I’ve really unknowingly reached the age where people call me auntie.”
As she spoke, she subconsciously put on her mask.
Ken Swanson grabbed her hand that was pulling on her mask.
“Melody, my love for you has nothing to do with my appearance or age. I will also grow old. In the future, we will all become white-haired and toothless Grandpa and Grandma. So I really want to tell you that these are not important to me at all. I love you the way you are and nothing else.”
After saying that, he ignored the surprised or confused gazes of the people around him and bent down to kiss her deeply on the lips.
Melody Fox subconsciously closed her eyes. Her fingertips were a little hot.
When she opened her eyes again, she could hear the gentle evening breeze. In front of her was the man she loved deeply.
Melody Fox’s eyes turned red. She completely let go of her inferiority complex in front of Ken Swanson. Her heart became firm and strong again.
Yes, from the moment Ken Swanson saw her, she had always been like this.
He did not know her real appearance at all. Why would he despise her appearance after the two of them had already confirmed their relationship and become a real husband and wife?
She should trust him and trust her own judgment, even if she had once overestimated herself and paid a huge price.
She, who had been anxious because of her appearance a few days ago, seemed to have dissipated with the wind at this moment.
However, she still had to find the Green Velvet herbs and recover her appearance.
But this time, she changed herself not to cater to anyone’s aesthetic taste, but just to become a better version of herself.
Melody Fox suddenly mustered up a huge amount of courage. She stood on her tiptoes and took the initiative to kiss Ken Swanson’s lips.
For the first time in her life, she kissed him on the street.
Ken Swanson could not help but be stunned for a moment. When he reacted, he hugged her waist forcefully and kissed her deeply again.
This kiss was hot and long. Their lips and teeth leaned against each other. It was as gentle as water, but also as passionate as fire.
After an unknown period of time, when the phone rang again, the two of them reluctantly let go of each other.
Melody Fox’s cheeks were red, and she looked like she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.
Ken Swanson smiled gently and hooked her hand. “It’s a call for you.”
Melody Fox suddenly came back to her senses. She took out her phone and saw that it was Aaron Berg calling.
“Miss Fox, where are you? I’m at the hotel. It’s time to prepare for the press conference, it’s almost time.”
“I’m with my husband. I’ll be right back to the hotel.”
Aaron Berg was relieved to hear this.
“There’s no hurry. Take your time.”
After knowing that Melody Fox was with Ken Swanson, he immediately did not dare to be anxious.
But Melody Fox still said, “She’ll be right back.”
After ending the call, although Melody Fox was reluctant, she still forced a smile and said, “Looks like we’re going to part ways.”
Ken Swanson flicked her forehead punishingly.
“What are you talking about? I’ll come to you immediately after I see Li Ming.”
Melody Fox nodded. “Then you can take your car. I’ll go back with Spencer so that you don’t have to make a detour.” Ken Swanson suddenly looked at her in silence.
Melody Fox was wondering why he suddenly quieted down when he heard Ken Swanson ask, “How did you know to take a detour? I remember that this is your first time here, right?”
Chapter 883
Upon hearing Ken Swanson’s words, Melody Fox felt like her secret had been seen through.
Her heart seemed to have jumped into her throat.
She blurted it out as soon as she said it.
Could it be that he had really noticed something?
Just as Melody Fox was feeling extremely nervous, Ken Swanson suddenly reached out and rubbed her head.” Looks like you don’t have to worry about getting lost when you go on vacation in the future. You have a good sense of direction.”
Melody heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.
However, she still vaguely felt that Ken Swanson might have guessed something.
Today, when she mentioned Ming Yiheng, Ken Swanson looked at her the same way as before…
Melody Fox tried her best not to let her imagination run wild and reveal any clues. She pretended to be relaxed and said, ” I grew up in the countryside and often ran around the mountains. My sense of direction is better than ordinary people.”
Ken Swanson nodded with a proud expression that said, ” My wife is good at everything.”
Melody Fox was slightly relieved and said, “I’ll see you tonight. I’ll go back and prepare first.”
“Okay.” Ken Swanson nodded and watched her leave in the car with Spencer.
However, even after waiting for the car to merge into the traffic, he still stood at the same spot. His eyes were fixed on the direction where Melody Fox had left. His eyes were filled with gloom and waves that he himself did not notice.
He seemed to have… seen a secret that could not be explained by science.
But how was that possible?
It should be that she had been here in her early years, but she had not found anything about it.
After all, it was very easy for someone like Mr. Quentin Parker to secretly bring Melody Fox to Insterimond.
Perhaps… he was thinking too much.
But how could he explain it? What was going on with the land that Melody Fox had asked him to buy?
“Sir?”
The sudden interruption of his subordinates broke his thoughts.
He suddenly came back to his senses and stopped himself from thinking about these unrealistic things.
Anyway, all he needed to know was that he loved her and she loved him.
As he had said to Melody Fox, he loved her and nothing else.
“Let’s go back to the branch office.” Ken Swanson retracted his gaze and walked towards the commercial car not far away.
Soon, the car drove away.
Meanwhile… In a low-key and secretive styling shop across the street.
A beautiful figure stood by the floor-to-ceiling window on the third floor. The setting sun cast a long shadow on her. “Sister Xiao Huan?”
A voice pulled her back from her shock to reality.
“What’s wrong?” She pretended to be calm, but her heart was in turmoil.
The stylist wearing an apron said, “The gown has been ironed for you. Try it on and see if there’s anything else that needs to be changed. It’s not too late for us to change it now.”
“Got it.”
Jian Huan took the gown from the stylist and carried it into the changing room.
It was not until she closed the door of the changing room that her seemingly calm eyes revealed disbelief.
He thought that what Janet MurMurphy said about Melody Fox snatching Ken Swanson’s love could not be true, at least Ken Swanson did not give up on Jane because of an ugly monster.
In fact, she’d always thought that was Jane’s excuse.
It was because Jane had not been able to woo Ken Swanson for so many years that she deliberately found a Melody Fox who had suddenly appeared as a shield to make her look less pitiful.
However, she had just seen a proud man kiss that ugly woman on the street.
When she saw them kissing, for a moment, she even thought that she was more worthy of Ken Swanson than this ugly woman, let alone Jane.
Ken Swanson: Is He Gone Mad?
Or did he have a fetish for ugliness?
Otherwise, how could he… ???
Jian Huan’s mind was in a mess. She hated Melody Fox more than she hated him.
Unknowingly, she thought of the Murphy family.
The Murphy family people had never prospered, and only Janet Murphy and Janet Murphy girls were born. Therefore, the two of them were given the meaning of “marriage” from birth.
However, unlike Janet Murphy, Janet Murphy’s father was the Murphy family’s master. Janet Murphy had been nurtured as the Swanson Group’s future mistress since she was young. After seeing Ken Swanson once, she became even more determined to become outstanding so that she could become someone worthy of Ken Swanson. However, to nurture an outstanding socialite who was comparable to Ken Swanson, she had to pay countless money.
In order to make the Murphy family more prosperous and rich, she, as a collateral relative, had no choice but to do some shady and dirty things on behalf of Janet Murphy. She accompanied businessmen to drink, chat, and sleep… She had done everything countless times.
After Janet Murphy lost all hope of becoming the Swanson Group’s mistress, the Murphy family had no choice but to turn their gaze and hope to her, choosing Minghao Tian, who had pursued her for many years.
Since Janet Murphy could not marry Ken Swanson, the Murphy family would let her marry Minghao Tian and become Ken Swanson’s cousin-in-law.
However, the Mont family’s old man clearly did not agree to them being together. She could not retreat to break up with Minghao Tian and let Minghao force the Mont family.
However, at this juncture, she found out that she had contracted an unclean disease…
Jian Huan closed her eyes. At the thought that the Murphy family people knew that she was sick and wanted to give up on her, she was so angry that her eyelashes trembled.
If they hadn’t pushed her out to drink and sleep with countless men, she wouldn’t have fallen sick!
Fortunately, in the end, they did not abandon her after weighing the pros and cons. They tried their best to beg the Taylor family for the Green Velvet herbs for her.
The Green Velvet herb is also the only medicine that will surely work on her illness so far.
And tonight’s auction was just a formality, the Green Velvet herbs would definitely be hers.
As long as she got the Green Velvet herbs, she would no longer care about the Murphy family’s life.
She wanted to live for herself.
Minghao Tian? All of you can go to hell!
She had already paved the way for herself. Once she got into Insterimond University, the Murphy family could get lost.
She did not want to rely on the Murphy family to live and continue to let them use her to live as their pawns!
However, she still had some sincerity towards her sister, Janet Murphy, whom she had grown up with.
Since that was the case, she would be kind enough to help Janet Murphy one last time so that, that ugly freak Melody Fox could not get into Insterimond University.
“Dong dong dong-“
There was a knock on the locker room door.
“Sister Xiao Huan, have you changed into your gown?”
Jian Huan came back to her senses and replied, “Right away.” She quickly put on her gown.
Her gown was a white strapless dress with exquisite and beautiful feathers embroidered on the chest. It was designed with the theme of “Angel” and was a top-notch luxury gown.
The full-length mirror was as tall as a person in the changing room, it reflected her perfect figure. The gown made her look like an otherworldly angel.
“Angels, huh…”
Jian Huan laughed self-deprecatingly.
No angel could have contracted such a disease.
In fact, if she did not take a shower for a day, her lower body would emit an unpleasant stench.
However, after tonight, she would soon be cured and become a truly “pure” woman.
Jian Huan raised her chin and walked out of the changing room arrogantly. She sat down to do her hair under the praises.
However, right at this moment…
Chapter 884
However, at this moment, a commotion came from outside the door.
“I’m sorry, you can’t go in without an appointment.”
“Get lost! Let me in! I know she’s in there!”
“Guards! Stop him! Stop him!”
Jian Huan vaguely heard the voices outside. She frowned unhappily and said, “Didn’t I book the entire venue today? Why are there still people coming in?”
The stylist quickly said, “I don’t know either, but I’ve already informed them that other than you, we won’t accept any other customers today. The counter will definitely help us stop them.”
Just as the stylist finished speaking, a tall and thin man barged in.
The stylist’s eyes widened.
“W…-Who are you? Who allowed you to come in?!”
When Jian Huan saw who it was, a trace of astonishment. appeared in her eyes.
“Minghao Tian?”
“Sister Xiao Huan, do you know each other?”
Jian Huan nodded and said to the stylist, “You go out first.” Then, she carefully looked at Ming Haotian again.
In less than half a month after they broke up, Minghao Tian had become as thin as a matchstick.
It seemed that Minghao cared about her more than she had imagined.
Jian Huan suddenly had an idea…
After she was cured, perhaps she could beat him at his own game and really marry Minghao Tian.
Although she didn’t like Minghao Tian, the Mont family had the Swanson family’s back.
At the thought of this, the coldness on Jian Huan’s face instantly disappeared, replaced by a worried expression.
“Minghao Tian, how did you become so thin?”
Minghao Tian saw the concern in Jian Huan’s eyes and was overjoyed.
He took a few steps forward and hugged her tightly.
“I knew it! I knew you still cared about me!”
Jian Huan smelled the stench of Ming Haotian’s sweat and subconsciously held his breath.
In the past, Ming Haotian was a clean freak. It was impossible for him to wear clothes that smelled like sweat. But now…
However, Jian Huan quickly thought that it might be because he couldn’t take care of himself after she proposed the breakup.
At the thought of this, Jian Huan tried her best to adapt. She pushed him away without a trace and said, “Don’t come near me. Didn’t I make it clear to you? I don’t want to continue a marriage that my family doesn’t accept.”
When Minghao Tian heard this, he gripped Jian Huan’s hand tightly and said, “We don’t have to worry about this anymore, Xiao Huan. You just have to tell me if you love me.” Jian Huan was stunned and asked in disbelief, “Your father agreed?”
Old Master Ming clearly knew that the Swanson family and the Murphy family were already like fire and water because of Sid Quant. How could he agree to let her in under such circumstances?
Could it be that Old Master Ming had a son in his old age and actually doted on Ming Haotian to this extent?
Then this Mont family, she really seemed to be able to marry.
As a thousand thoughts ran through her mind, he heard Ming Haotian ask again, “Don’t worry about this. You just have to answer the question of whether you still love me.”
Jian Huan’s eyes darted around before she nodded. “Of course, I care about you…”
Care, not love.
However, it was obvious that Minghao Tian didn’t know what the difference was. He hugged her tightly again.
“I know! I knew it! I should have come to you long ago! It’s all my fault for being weak! But I won’t be weak anymore in the future. I want to be with you for the rest of my life!”
Minghao Tian tightened his grip.
Just as Jian Huan was almost out of breath, Ming Haotian finally let go of her.
Before she could speak, Minghao Tian spoke again, “Xiao Huan, let’s leave now!”
With that, he pulled Jian Huan and was about to walk out.
Jian Huan staggered and tried her best to stop him. Where are you taking me?”
“Elope!”
Jian Huan’s eyes suddenly widened. She grabbed the corner of the table with her other hand and stabilized herself. “What did you say? Elope? Didn’t you ask for your father’s permission?”
Minghao Tian lowered his eyes and shook his head. “I’ve already cut ties with the Mont family.”
“What did you say?!” Jian Huan raised her voice.
However, she quickly realized that she had lost her composure. She suppressed her voice and asked, “What exactly happened?”
Minghao Tian bitterly smiled and said, “Because of you, I had a big fight with my father. Now, I’m no longer the Mont family’s person, so I naturally don’t need his consent.”
“… How is that possible?” Jian Huan’s smile became extremely stiff. She said, “Your father only has you as his son. How can he really cut ties with you? He’s just angry, right?”
Minghao Tian shook his head and said, “It might have been in the past, but it’s true this time. He has already acknowledged someone else as his son and publicly announced that I’m no longer his son. Last night… I slept at my classmate’s house. I’m already homeless… But don’t worry, although I’m poor now, even if I have to deliver food and wash dishes, I’m still willing to support you!”
The corner of Jian Huan’s mouth twitched twice.
However, Minghao Tian did not notice that her gaze had already turned cold. He continued to hold her hand and wanted to bring her out.
“Let’s go, Minghao Tian!”
Jian Huan stood rooted to the ground and said, “Minghao Tian, let me think about it.”
Minghao Tian was stunned for a moment before asking,” Didn’t you say that you love me?”
“I…-“
After a moment of silence, Jian Huan lied, “It’s true that I love you, but there’s something I didn’t tell you. I’m sick. It’s a very rare illness that requires a medicine called the Green Velvet. And tonight happens to be the Green Velvet herbs auction. Even if I elope with you, I need to get the medicine first. Besides, we don’t have anything now. Where can we go? Your father doesn’t want you, but my family will definitely look for me. So I need to formulate a plan first…” As Jian Huan spoke, she retracted her hand and used her phone to transfer 2,000 dollars yuan to Ming Haotian.
“Take this money first. Stay in the hotel for the next two days. When I buy the medicine and formulate an elopement plan, I’ll meet you.”
“Really?”
“Why would I lie to you?”
As Jian Huan spoke, she hesitated for a moment before planting a kiss on Ming Haotian’s lips.
Only then did Ming Haotian believe her. He nodded vigorously and said, “Then I’ll find a hotel and tell you. After you’re done with your matters, we’ll leave Insterimond!” “Okay.” Jian Huan waved her hand and said, “You should leave quickly. Don’t let my family find out that something is wrong.”
Hearing this, Minghao Tian didn’t delay any longer and quickly left.
However, what Minghao did not notice was that as soon as he left, Jian Huan took a tissue and wiped her lips forcefully, as if she had just kissed something disgusting.
She still didn’t know what Old Master the Mont family meant. Was Minghao Tian testing her? Therefore, she had to stabilize Minghao Tian first.
Once it was confirmed that Minghao had been abandoned by the Mont family, Minghao could not blame her for being heartless.
Meanwhile, Melody Fox was on his way back to the hotel.
Coincidentally, she received Sid Quant’s text messages.
[Seventeen, isn’t this kid yours? Why are you letting him follow me? Hurry up and tell him to get lost! He’s really annoying. He’s even more talkative than my Grandma! If you don’t let him go, I’ll go crazy!!!]
Chapter 885
Melody Fox knew that Ken Swanson placed Seventeen next to Sid Quant only temporarily. It was to make it easier for him to keep an eye on Sid Quant so that he would not overwork himself.
Therefore, after seeing the message, Melody Fox directly ignored it.
However, more than ten minutes later, Sid Quant called.
She hung up on the first call, but then Sid Quant called again.
Helpless, Melody Fox could only answer the call. “Hello?”
Sid Quant went straight to the point and questioned, “Didn’t you see the message I sent you?!”
“…I saw it.”
“Why didn’t you reply to my message when you saw it?” Sid Quant was even angrier.
Melody Fox said calmly, “I’m going back.”
Sid Quant was stunned and asked, “What did you reply? Why didn’t I see it?”
“I’m back. Silence.”
Silence.
After a few seconds, Sid Quant found his voice. “Melody Fox, you’re really something. Good, you’re good. When you come back, you’re dead!”
“I look forward to it.”
With that, she hung up the phone and blocked Sid Quant. How old was he? Why was he still acting like a child? However, if she could not save Sid Quant’s life in this life, she would probably feel very uncomfortable.
She would not let that happen.
Melody Fox thought for a moment and sent another message to Seventeen. “Keep an eye on Sid Quant. No matter how he treats you, as long as you’re still breathing, keep an eye on him.”
“Yes!” Seventeen quickly replied.
Only then did Melody Fox relax.
Coincidentally, the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Aaron Berg was already waiting at the entrance.
As soon as she came over, Aaron Berg immediately walked forward and said, “Sir has already arranged a stylist and makeup artist for you. They’re waiting for you in the hotel room.”
Melody Fox nodded and did not refuse. However, when she went upstairs, she declined the help of the makeup artist. She only trimmed her eyebrows and put on makeup.
After interacting with Ken Swanson today, her heart had become stronger than when she had just been reborn.
She could no longer be harmed by other people’s harsh words.
The makeup artist looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. She took her phone and went out.
It was obvious that Melody Fox felt that she could not complete her task, so she went to ask Ken Swanson.
Sure enough, not long after, the makeup artist returned. There was no hesitation on her face. She packed her makeup box and left respectfully.
After the group left, Melody Fox calmly looked at herself in the mirror.
She was wearing a lady’s suit that she had chosen in the morning. It was from a certain luxury brand’s Spring and Autumn series. Her hair was only tied up in a ponytail, but the stylist had specially given her a full diamond hair clip, making her look lazy and noble.
However, the red spots on her face still ruined her appearance.
Through the mirror, Melody Fox could see that Aaron Berg also looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. It was as if he hoped that he could put on makeup to hide the red spots on her face so that she would not be attacked at the auction.
But if you don’t care, who can attack you?
Melody Fox looked away from the mirror and turned to ask Aaron Berg, “How long until the auction starts?”
“And 7 PM sharp.”
“Then we can enter now. Let’s go.”
Melody Fox stood up and dialed Ruby Taylor’s number as she walked out.
Meanwhile, at the Taylor residence…
Ruby Taylor knelt on the ground and kept begging Chairman Lou.
“Dad, even if you don’t give me face, please give the child in my stomach face and let this auction proceed fairly! I’m not asking you to leave the Green Velvet to my friend. I just want you to be fair!”
Chairman Lou’s eyes were filled with anger.
“Ruby Taylor! Stand up! You’re pregnant now! If you get pregnant, I’ll get Mason Taylor to divorce you!”
Chairman Lou still had the same old thinking.
In his opinion, women should abide by the virtues of women and listen to the men at home. They should obey their fathers at home and their husbands when they get married.
Ruby Taylor was now kneeling and threatening him for an outsider, disregarding the child in his stomach. This had seriously crossed his bottom line.
Ruby Taylor had made up her mind.
“I won’t get up! As long as you don’t agree, I won’t get up! Speaking of which, without Melody, the child in my stomach wouldn’t exist at all. She was the one who cured my infertility. Can’t you give the Green Velvet herbs to her for the sake of the child in my stomach?”
“You…-you really want me to kick you out of the house?”
At that moment, the phone on the ground rang.
The screen displayed the words “Melody Fox”.
Ruby Taylor lowered her eyes and saw Melody Fox’s name displayed on the screen. She said even more firmly, “Please promise me!”
“You…!” Chairman Lou felt dizzy and almost fell.
The servants were quick to react and quickly went forward to support Old Master Lou Taylor.
Mrs. Lou Taylor, who had been silent on the side, couldn’t help but say, “Ruby don’t force us. We really have something difficult to say, so we had no choice but to do this. You came to threaten us for your friend. Are you really trying to force us to our deaths? Are the two of us inferior to your friend in your eyes?”
Ruby Taylor was stunned for a moment before asking, Mom, what do you mean?”
“Stop talking nonsense with her. Why are you telling her this? The auction is about to start. I’m going out. Stay at home and keep an eye on her. Don’t let her really do anything stupid!”
As Chairman Lou Taylor spoke, he turned around and left, but his footsteps were not as steady as before.
Lou Taylor noticed this and quickly held Mrs. Lou’s hand. “Mom… Tell me, what’s going on?”
Madam Lou shook her head and sighed.
“Sigh, your father and I originally planned to hide this from you and your husband. But now that you’re like this… I’d better tell you the truth in case you really do something stupid.”
Ruby Taylor was even more puzzled.
“What the hell is going on?”
“Your father is… sick, and so is your brother-in-law. His condition is worse than your father-in-law’s.”
Ruby Taylor suddenly realized that she had not seen Mason Taylor’s brother and sister-in-law on this trip.
The couple was not easy to get along with. Due to her ordinary family background, this sister-in-law would come and mock her every time she returned to the capital. She would say how lucky she was to marry into the Taylor family.
But this time, she didn’t even see their shadows, let alone mock her.
This was too unusual.
So he was sick?
Madam Lou continued, “Only the Murphy family can treat their illnesses. the Murphy family also agreed to treat them, but in exchange, the Green Velvet herbs at this auction have to be sold to the Murphy family.”
“The Murphy family…”
Ruby Taylor looked up and asked subconsciously, “Is it the Murphy family, who used to be on good terms with the Swanson family?”
“Yeah.”
“But I remember that they’re in venture capital, not a medical family.”
As soon as she asked the question, Ruby Taylor suddenly reacted.
The reason why the two of them were sick was very likely because of the Murphy family.
