Chapter 1126
Spencer knew that this matter involved a lot of things. He quickly asked Melody Fox, “Do you need me to send someone to investigate this guy in detail?”
Melody Fox thought for a moment and said, “There’s no need. This person is just a puppet. There’s no need to spend Fox on him. We don’t want to alert the enemy and alarm the person behind him.”
“Yes.”
On the way, Melody Fox called her master Quentin Parker.
However, the person who answered the phone was not Quentin Parker, but an unfamiliar voice.
“Hello?”
Melody Fox immediately tensed up and asked warily, “Who are you?”
“Miss Fox, don’t be nervous. I’m from the Special Task Force. I’m in charge of malicious doctors. My name is Xu Changyuan. I wonder if Teacher Quentin Parker has mentioned me to you.”
Melody Fox had no impression of this name, but seeing that the other party knew Quentin Parker’s real name, she softened her tone and asked, “Hello, Mr. Xu. May I ask why you answered the phone?”
“Teacher Quentin handed his phone to me and said that you might call. He was afraid that you might be worried, so she asked me to answer the call for him.”
“Where’s my master?”
“He…” Xu Changyuan seemed to be hesitating whether he should tell her.
After a while, Xu Changyuan said, “Professor Quentin told me not to tell you, but I think it’s better to tell you.”
“Tell me.”
“A while ago, we caught malicious doctors. He’s about the same age, height, and physique as Teacher Quentin. After asking about the other party’s situation, he disguised himself as him and sneaked into a malicious doctor’s camp. Now, we don’t know where he is or what he’s doing.”
Melody Fox was a little angry.
“My master is already so old. How can you let him be a spy?” Xu Changyuan said helplessly, “Miss Fox, we’re also very worried about Teacher Quentin’s safety. However, he has already made up his mind. We can’t stop him at all. Please believe that we are just as worried about Teacher Quentin as you are.” Melody Fox closed her eyes. She knew that it was useless to be angry with Xu Changyuan.
She tried to calm herself down and asked, “What Fox? How long has it been?”
“Two days ago. Today is already the third day. He told us not to look for him and not to reveal any clues. Similarly, he also reminded me not to look for him if you know. Currently, other than me, only my deputy knows about this. Now, you are the third person to know.”
Melody Fox clenched her fists nervously.
Of course, she couldn’t look for Quentin Parker.
If malicious doctors found him, Quentin Parker would be in danger.
Therefore, she could only pretend that nothing had happened.
After a while, Melody Fox finally found her voice.
“I understand. Thank you for telling me. If Master comes back, please let me know ASAP.”
“Alright, don’t worry. If there’s any news, I’ll contact you immediately through this phone.”
“Yes, thank you.”
After the call ended, Melody Fox massaged her temples with a headache.
Master, Master, you’re taking the risk alone. You’re really not afraid of me worrying.
Hopefully… nothing would go wrong.
When she returned to the hotel, Melody Fox stared at the medicine pot, but her gaze was unfocused.
She was very worried about her master.
She did not know where her master was now.
“Melody? Melody?”
A large hand waved in front of her eyes. Only then did Melody Fox come back to her senses.
She turned around and realized that the owner of the huge hand was Ken Swanson.
She asked in surprise, “When did you come back?”
“Just now.” Ken Swanson pulled her hand and asked worriedly, “What happened? I called you a few times, but you didn’t respond. This isn’t like you.”
Melody Fox hesitated for a moment but did not hide it from Ken Swanson.
When Ken Swanson heard this, then he frowned.
“No wonder you’re like this.”
Not to mention Melody Fox, he was also very worried about Quentin Parker’s situation.
Although Quentin Parker’s Disguise Technique could be perfect, his personality and habits were easy to detect.
Once malicious doctors found out that Quentin Parker was an undercover agent, there was only one outcome for him- death.
Ken Swanson could not tell Melody Fox not to worry too much because it would be useless even if he said it.
He tightened his grip on Melody’s hand and said, “I’ll do everything I can to bring down Ulric Swanson as soon as possible and catch Jennie Taylor.”
Jennie Taylor was now the boss of the malicious doctors’s faction. If she were eliminated, malicious doctors’s faction would naturally be leaderless. This way, Quentin Parker’s situation would not be too difficult.
But to get rid of Jennie Taylor, she had to take down her backer, Ulric Swanson.
It was easier said than done, but Ken Swanson had made up his mind to end this as soon as possible.
“Thank you.” Melody Fox curved her lower lip and held Ken Swanson’s hand tightly.
He understood her. He knew she didn’t want comfort. She wanted promises.
That was enough.
After two hours, the potion was completed.
Melody Fox explained, “This is a spray that induces poison. It doesn’t have any effect on ordinary people, but it’s a death sentence for those who are poisoned. But don’t worry, I’ll make sure Ge Pingchuan is safe and sound.” “I believe in your abilities.”
As Ken Swanson spoke, he suddenly stared at Melody’s face. Melody Fox looked away guiltily.
“W…-Why are you looking at me like that?”
Ken Swanson said, “Have you been too tired recently? I think your face has lost a lot of weight.”
So that was why he was looking at her.
She thought that the red spots on her face had been drawn by Ken Swanson.
She couldn’t deny it. She could only nod and say, “I’m a little tired, but I’m fine.”
“Are you sure you’re okay?” Ken Swanson looked at her and said, “I saw the residue of the medicine in the trash can. The residue of the medicine you made is still in the medicine can.”
Ken Swanson’s observation was too detailed. Melody Fox could only follow what he had just said. “I just feel a little tired recently, so I brewed a few pills for myself to replenish my stamina.”
“No matter how good the medicine is, it’s better to rest well. Don’t go out today. I’ll accompany you to the apartment.” Melody Fox nodded. He was slightly relieved when he saw that Ken Swanson did not continue to ask.
She still wanted to give Ken Swanson a big surprise. If she was discovered now, a surprise would not be a surprise.
“It’s only four in the afternoon. Don’t you have anything to do today? If there’s anything else, you don’t have to worry about me.”
“That’s all. The Swanson GroupInsterimond branch company has almost been settled. My subordinates can continue working with Ou Jing. As for Li Ming, I’ve already gathered evidence that the couple tried to control the branch company. However, we can’t alert them yet, so there’s nothing to deal with.”
“Mm. What about Ximber Tech?”
A complicated look flashed across Ken Swanson’s eyes as he said, “With Ming Yiheng’s help, the production of the product has already progressed smoothly. However, the new product launch will be held in Silverlake, so there’s no need for me to do anything here.”
In other words, as long as they dealt with Ge Pingchuan’s matter, they could go back to Silverlake.
Chapter 1127
“That’s good.” Melody Fox exhaled and said with a smile, “I’ve only been out for less than a week with Fox rooms. I really want to go back.”
Ken Swanson’s lips twitched.
“It doesn’t matter where I am, as long as you’re by my side.”
“Why are you getting so fond of sweet talk? It’s not like you.”
“What did you think I was like?”
“Cold-hearted, unsmiling CEO?”
Ken Swanson pinched her face. “I’m not the kind of person you’re talking about. I’m flesh and blood, your husband. I’m not some cold-blooded, unsmiling CEO.”
Even so, Ken Swanson knew that his past self might really be the kind of person Melody Fox mentioned.
But now, he was slowly being changed by Melody Fox.
It was gentler and more humane than before.
“I’ll get someone to buy a few gowns for you to choose at home. Use them for tomorrow’s Summer Gala. My wife, Ken Swanson, can’t be too plain when she attends the cocktail party.”
Melody Fox was stunned for a moment before asking, “You want me to go as your wife?”
“What else? You’re my wife, to begin with.’
北
He had never been afraid to reveal Melody Fox’s identity. It was just that his old man had stopped him previously.
However, after this collaboration with Ou Jing, Ramon Swanson would be able to sincerely accept Melody Fox as her daughter-in-law.
“I’ve thought about it. When I get back, I’ll hold a banquet at the manor and publicly introduce you.”
Melody Fox felt inexplicably nervous.
“Isn’t it too soon? How about we wait until the Foxth day of our wedding…”
“No,” Ken Swanson said firmly. “I want everyone to know that you are mine and only mine.”
With the appearance of Ming Yiheng, Ken Swanson became even more determined.
His treasure girl’s light was gradually being discovered by other men. If he had not publicly declared his sovereignty, other men would probably be even more unscrupulous.
Melody Fox could not help but laugh.
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”
“Alright, then I’ll call Grandma and tell her. Grandma will definitely be very happy to host the banquet for you.”
Ken Swanson did as he said. In the blink of an eye, he had already ended the call with Margaret Swanson.
“What did Margaret say?”
Ken Swanson smiled bitterly and said, “She scolded me and said that I should have introduced you a long time ago.”
“Margaret is indeed very good to me. Before we go back, let’s buy some gifts for our family and friends.”
“Alright, I’ll arrange it.”
Melody Fox suddenly thought of his grandmother.
Ever since she severed ties with the Fox family, her grandmother had also moved to the Fox family’s hometown.
She thought for a moment and said, “Ken Swanson when Insterimond ends here, can we go to Province C to take a look?”
The Fox family’s hometown was in Province C.
Ken Swanson could tell what she was thinking at a glance. “You want to see your grandmother?”
“Yes, I haven’t seen her for a long time. I wonder how she is now.” She lowered her head in frustration. “After Grandma returned to her hometown, she refused to answer my calls. She’s probably really disappointed in me. She clearly knew that Yolanda Fox had poisoned her, but she kept it from her. She even made the entire Fox family… fall apart now.”
Ken Swanson hugged her and said, “Don’t blame yourself. This is all Russell Fox’s fault. As for you hiding it from your grandmother, it’s also to better expose Yolanda Fox’s scheme. It’s just that the old people all have the idea of making peace at home. Even if a family has already rotted, they still want to maintain peace on the surface. I think she’s not disappointed in you, but she’s too disappointed in the Fox family and Russell Fox. That’s why Fox can’t face the truth.”
Then, he said, “But after such a long time, I think someone as sensible as Maria Fox should have already sorted out her thoughts. She won’t blame you.”
“I hope so.”
“I’m sure it will.”
The night gradually deepened.
Insterimondthe Swanson family.
Li Ming was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a scream that woke him up.
He turned around and saw his wife frowning. Her face was pale and she kept shouting incoherent words. Her face was filled with horror.
Her eyes were tightly shut. Clearly, she was having a nightmare.
Li Ming quickly patted his wife.
“Honey, honey, wake up.”
The woman opened her eyes. Under the light, her eyes were actually different colors.
She was Li Ming’s second wife, Kua Rangliu.
The woman’s surname was Kua Rang. Kua Rang was a very ancient surname in Miaojiang.
“Honey, are you awake? You had a nightmare just now.”
When Kua Rangliu heard this, his tense expression relaxed.
She exhaled and said, “I don’t know why, but I’ve been having nightmares recently.”
“Maybe you’re sleeping in the wrong position. You’re like me. You might be better sleeping flat on your back.”
“No.”
Kua Rangliu shook his head and said, “I usually don’t have nightmares. The only two nightmares I have are the one the day before my mother died and the one half a month before my father passed away. Li Ming, I feel very uneasy. Ken Swanson, did you discover anything when you came back this time?”
“How can that be?” Li Ming said confidently, “We’ve been hiding it very well. I’m afraid that in his heart, I’m still the kind uncle from before. Moreover, if he really discovered something, with his personality, he would have already started to remove the people we planted in the Insterimond branch. Why would he let our people continue to
participate in the cooperation with the Origin Crystal project?”
“Am I really overthinking?”
“It must be because you’ve been under too much pressure recently. However, we’ll soon see the light of day. When Ramon Swanson dies, the Swanson Group will be ours. We won’t have any worries or worries in the future.”
Kua Rangliu sighed and said, “I’m afraid it’s not as smooth as you say. Although we’ve roped in the Murphy family and started to design Ramon Swanson, even if Ramon
Swanson dies, we still have to deal with his two sons. None of his two sons are easy to deal with.”
“Don’t be afraid. Once Ramon Swanson dies, they will definitely start fighting among themselves. At Fox, we will reap the benefits.”
Kua Rangliu nodded and leaned into Li Ming’s arms, saying, “I still can’t forget that because my parents fought against the Swanson Group, they didn’t agree to tear down our land and build a tourist area. In the end, they died one after another… Of course, if I hadn’t met you, I might have gone with them.”
Li Ming’s heart ached as he hugged Kua Rangliu.
“In the past, I didn’t care about the business world. You gave me motivation. I will definitely give you a satisfactory result and avenge you.”
Kua Rangliu hugged Li Ming back and said, “I’ll do my best to help you win the Swanson Group. You’re the Swanson family’s eldest son. The position of chairman originally belonged to you. Why did Ramon Swanson snatch it away? I’ll definitely… help you get it back!”
“Yup!”
“However, it’s not appropriate for us to show our faces often now. I’m thinking that we shouldn’t go to the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce’s Summer Gala tomorrow, right?”
Chapter 1128
Li Ming hesitated momentarily and said, “But if you can cure Ge Pingchuan’s illness and rope in the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce, the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce will greatly help us. The help they can provide us is no less than Insterimondthe Murphy family.” Liu Rong retreated from Li Ming’s arms.
“If you think so, don’t tell me that Ramon Swanson’s two sons don’t think so? If we stand up for Fox, we will definitely attract their attention. Don’t forget, on the surface, the person you support is Ulric Swanson. We can’t let Ulric Swanson know that our true goal is to snatch the Swanson Group, not help him sit on the Swanson Group’s throne.”
“Alright! I’ll listen to everything you say. I’ll do whatever you say.”
Kua Rangliu nodded and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go back to sleep. We must meet Liu Guangrui tomorrow and see what he says.”
“Yes, his wife has just been discharged from the hospital. No one will suspect anything if we visit her now.”
“Go to sleep.”
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Melody Fox slept very well that night. He slept until noon.
She was woken up by a strong burnt smell.
She opened her eyes and saw thick smoke seeping through the crack in the door.
Melody Fox was shocked. He quickly got up from the bed and ran out.
In the living room, Spencer and Aaron Berg were there, but Ken Swanson was nowhere to be seen.
She didn’t have time to think too much and quickly asked, ” Is there a fire?”
Spencer and Aaron Berg looked at each other awkwardly. They did not know how to explain.
Melody Fox saw that there was no reaction from them and knew that it was not a fire.
Just as he was about to ask in detail, he saw Ken Swanson walk out of the kitchen.
He was no longer in his usual suit. He was wearing loose and comfortable light gray home clothes. His nose was black and his hair was disheveled.
If Melody Fox hadn’t seen him come out of the kitchen, he would have thought that he had just returned from some battlefield.
Seeing Melody Fox, Ken Swanson touched his nose awkwardly, but wiped the pot ashes on his nose all over his face, making him look even more hilarious.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Melody Fox did not know whether to laugh or cry as he walked forward.
Ken Swanson scratched his head. “I wanted to cook for you, but I failed.”
He used to study abroad at Fox. In fact, he often cooked.
However, when she ate alone, she only made Janet Murphy yuan for each dish and soup. In fact, she had never cooked seriously.
However, he did not expect it to fail so badly.
Melody Fox took out a handkerchief and wiped Ken
Swanson’s face. Soon, the white handkerchief turned black.
Melody Fox said helplessly, “Forget it. I can’t wipe it clean. Go wash your face. I’ll do the rest.”
“Why don’t we… find a nanny?”
“Come on, we’ll be back soon. It’s no trouble to cook a meal. Go and wash your face. You don’t know, but your face is like a big tabby cat’s face now.”
Ken Swanson was pushed into the bathroom by Melody
Fox. When he saw that his face was covered in pot ashes, he obediently began to wash his face.
“Why don’t you take a shower? You reek of grease and smoke. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’d blown up the kitchen.”
She really thought that there was a fire at home just now.
“Sure.”
Ken Swanson nodded.
As a clean freak, the smell on his body was indeed a little unbearable.
After Ken Swanson went to take a shower, Melody Fox came to the kitchen.
He saw a fish that had almost turned into charcoal lying in the pot. He didn’t know what was cooking in the other pot, but its surface was covered in a strange green color. It was completely stewed in chaos.
Melody Fox shook his head. After calling Aaron Berg and Spencer in to help clean up the mess, he began to cook.
Spencer asked at the kitchen door, “Miss Fox, do you want to deliver food to Mr. Orrick today?”
Melody Fox thought for a moment and said, “He didn’t send me a message. I don’t think he needs it.”
“Yes, I understand,” Spencer said, but he did not leave. Instead, he said, “Miss Fox, there’s something I forgot to tell you yesterday.”
“Tell me.”
He took out a wooden box, opened the lid, and brought it to Melody Fox.
Inside was a very exquisite dagger with several expensive jewels embedded in the handle.
Melody Fox thought for a moment and guessed the origin of this dagger.
“Mr. Ou gave it to you?”
“Well…” Spencer explained in fear, “I wanted to give it to you
when I came out of the hospital, but when I arrived at the clinic, I left it in the car. Later on, I forgot…”
Melody Fox picked up the dagger and took a look. He quickly recognized it as the famous Rakshasa’s Blade.
The last time the Rakshasa’s Blade was auctioned, if he remembered correctly, it was sold for an astronomical price of 40 million dollars.
Melody Fox blew a strand of his hair on the dagger and it broke into two.
Spencer could not help but widen her eyes.
“So sharp…”
“It’s not just sharp. Any gem on him is worth a lot.”
Spencer was even more terrified.
“Then, then I’ll send it to Mr. Orrick now?”
“There’s no hurry. Tell me first. What did he tell you?”
“He didn’t say anything. He just said it was a gift for me. It’s been hard on me to make the trip.”
Melody Fox frowned. He felt that something was amiss.
If this gift was for her, it could be interpreted as Mr. Ou being very grateful to her for saving his life.
However, Spencer was not a life-saving grace to Orek.
It was just a meal, but he actually gave out such an expensive dagger. It really did not make sense.
As they were talking, Ken Swanson came out from the shower.
There was still a drop of water hanging from the tip of his hair. He was wearing a bathrobe and looked like a handsome man coming out of the shower.
However, Melody Fox was not in the mood to appreciate it now. He told him about the dagger.
When Ken Swanson heard this, he slowly frowned.
“He’s indeed a little too generous.”
Ken Swanson met Melody Fox’s gaze and said, “However, I still believe in Mr. Orrick’s character. He probably doesn’t have any ulterior motives or wants to use you. Perhaps he just… wants to thank you? So he loves you?”
“I don’t know either…”
“How about this?” Ken Swanson said, “I’ll go with you to see Mr. Ou tomorrow. I haven’t visited him on this trip to Insterimond. On the one hand, it’s to visit him. On the other hand, I also want to test what he’s thinking.”
“Alright.” Melody Fox nodded.
For lunch, Melody Fox used the remaining fish to make braised fish. After the other vegetables were matched, Janet Murphy stir-fried with pork.
When the last serving of seaweed soup was served, Fox, Ken Swanson was already hungry.
Melody Fox could not help but laugh.
“Is it that delicious? These are all home-cooked dishes from Janet Murphy.”
“Delicious.” Ken Swanson paused for a moment and said, It’s really delicious. It’s not because you’re my wife that you think it’s delicious.”
Melody Fox’s culinary skills were more than enough to open a restaurant.
Even if it was a home-cooked meal of Janet Murphy yuan, it could still make a very delicious taste.
The taste was indescribable, but it was better than the restaurants outside.
Chapter 1129
Perhaps this was the case for people with superb culinary skills. They could make the ingredients with the highest Janet Murphy yuan taste perfect.
Melody Fox was a little embarrassed by the praise.
“I learned how to cook from someone. Just eat your food. Don’t praise me.”
Ken Swanson could not help but ask, “Who did you learn it from?”
“My culinary master is called Yunran. Have you heard of her?” Ken Swanson was stunned for a moment before asking, “Is it that Halcyon ancient imperial cuisine inheritor, Yunran?” “Yes, it is.”
“No wonder… With her guidance on your culinary skills, it would be strange if your cooking isn’t good.”
“Well…”
Thinking of Yunran, she couldn’t help but lower her head. Ken Swanson sensed that something was wrong with her mood and asked, “Is she no longer alive?”
“Yes.” Melody Fox smiled bitterly and said, “Many of my masters are no longer alive. The reason why I can get to know them is mostly because I’m not in good health and came to see my master for treatment. To nurture my ability to be independent, my master doesn’t accept consultation fees from these people. The only condition for them to treat me is to teach me their skills.’
“No wonder… Don’t be too sad. Everyone has to die. From the moment they were born, their lives have already entered the reverse Fox. Neither you nor I can change it.”
“Yes, but Master Yunran’s illness was already cured.”
“How could that be…? I remember that she’s not that old. Calculating Fox rooms, she’s only in her fifties today.”
Melody Fox sighed and talked about what happened back then.
When Fox had malicious doctors, someone accidentally found the place where Quentin Parker lived.
After fighting for hours, that person’s subordinate found the young Melody Fox back then and used her to threaten Quentin Parker to give up resisting obediently.
At the critical moment, Yun Ran appeared with a kitchen knife and ambushed the man’s subordinate from behind.
However, Yunran’s master had been shot herself.
The bullet wound hit her head. Under such circumstances, her master could not treat her. He could only end her life in advance and free her.
Melody Fox still remembered that the shot was made by her master.
That night, she had a high fever and took a while to recover.
It was also at that time that she truly understood how ruthless malicious doctors were.
Ken Swanson did not know how to comfort her and could only change the topic.
“Aaron Berg reported to me that Jian Huan has left the police station.”
‘Well, I went to see her today. She’s agreed to work with us.’
“That’s good. Let’s see if she can regain the Murphy family’s trust.”
“I’m sure she still has some brains. Otherwise, the Murphy family’s main family wouldn’t have let her do so much for them in the past.”
After dinner, the gown was sent over.
They were all in the simple style that Melody Fox liked.
Ken Swanson glanced at it and said pertinently, “The ones sent over this batch are all alright, but they’re still not as good as the ones you designed.”
Melody Fox had already walked out of his depressed mood at noon.
“There are Fox rooms next time. I’ll design a gown for you.”
“It’s too exhausting, no need. However, you can design our wedding gown.”
“Okay. Let’s think about what style to design together at Fox.”
“Yeah.”
In the end, Melody Fox chose a black velvet gown with exquisite sapphire jewelry.
The waist-revealing design showed off her temperament and figure, but it was not too eye-catching.
“Nice.” Ken Swanson did not hide his praise at all.
Melody Fox smiled and said, “Then let’s do this.”
“Alright, Madam. Shall we do your makeup now?” The stylist who came with the gown asked.
“Let’s do my hair. I don’t need makeup. I don’t like makeup.”
“This…” The stylist looked at Ken Swanson awkwardly.
“Do as she says.”
The stylist had no choice but to nod. “Yes.”
He had never seen many people attend a cocktail party without even putting on makeup.
Even a man would need to be waxed, let alone someone like Melody Fox, who had poor physical conditions.
However, since it was his employer’s request, he naturally would not refute it.
“Sit here. I’ll style you.”
“Yeah.”
On the other side.
Ulric Swanson, who was staying in a hotel, was discussing with Jennie Taylor whether to attend the Summer Gala. Ulric Swanson played with the jade Buddha token that Old Master Ge had given him yesterday and asked, “After your treatment yesterday, Old Master Ge should be able to get out of bed today. This is the invitation letter that they sent to the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce’s Summer Gala. Do you think we should attend or not?”
With Jennie Taylor’s efforts and Ulric Swanson’s help, he had already subdued a large number of malicious doctors. Now, the malicious doctors’s faction respected her. Her aura had also changed a little. She was more like a leader than before.
She thought for a moment and replied, “Ken Swanson people are in Insterimond. They must have received the invitation too. It’s best for us to avoid them and not go. Moreover, since Old Master Ge’s body is recovering, he will definitely remember us. This trip today will not be beneficial to us. Instead, it will expose the fact that we came to Insterimond.”
“I’m afraid… Ken Swanson already knows that I’m here.” “But he can’t know our exact plan.”
“Alright, we’ll do as you say. We’ll reject the cocktail party and say that we’ve returned to Insterimond.”
“Then are we going back today? I’ve contacted malicious doctors from Insterimond. They’re all willing to listen to my orders.
Ulric Swanson was silent for a moment before saying, “I originally planned to go back today, but I still want to see someone.”
“Who?”
“Orek.”
Jennie Taylor frowned and said, “But didn’t we find out that the person who treated Orek was Melody Fox? I’m afraid Ken Swanson has already successfully roped in Orek.”
“That’s why I’m going to see him.”
He wanted to confirm if Orrick was really on Ken Swanson’s side.
If it was, he had to be prepared. If it wasn’t… he still had a chance to rope in Orek.
Jennie Taylor suddenly said, “Young Master, perhaps we can meet the people around him instead of Orek.”
“You mean…?”
“Eliza.”
Ulric Swanson looked up and asked, “Orek’s wife?”
“Yes, it is.”
Ulric Swanson pondered for a moment and said, “Orek and his wife have always been at odds. If we look for Eliza, I’m afraid we won’t be able to look for Orek to work with.”
“Since there’s a high chance that Orek’s side has already been beaten to it, wouldn’t it be better for us to choose Eliza?”
Two seconds later, Ulric Swanson nodded. “Alright, we’ll do as you say. Go and contact them.”
“Yes.”
Jennie Taylor bowed and left.
Only Ulric Swanson was left in the room.
He looked out of the window, but his mind couldn’t help but think of Melody Fox.
At first, he did not like this woman at all. Like the others, he thought that Melody Fox was an ugly and useless country bumpkin.
But gradually, the abilities and medical skills she displayed completely exceeded his expectations.
Chapter 1130
Again and again, Melody Fox refreshed his understanding of a girl from the countryside.
He even felt that Melody Fox must have been possessed by some powerful ghost to be able to turn the situation around in his hands every time.
Of course, this was nonsense. He had never believed in ghosts or gods.
As for Ken Swanson, he had good taste and managed to find a talent like Melody Fox.
However, he did not believe that Ken Swanson truly loved Melody Fox.
His brother had been scheming and strategizing since he was young. How could he really love someone?
They were just making use of him.
However, Melody Fox chose Ken Swanson instead of him. This made him almost unable to sleep or eat.
What made him even more unable to tell others was that he had been dreaming recently.
In the dream, he and Melody Fox were actually a couple. She fed him while he wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth.
These dreams were too real. They were so real that when Fox woke up, he even thought that he and Melody Fox were really a couple.
This also made him have a strange feeling every time he thought of Melody Fox.
He couldn’t even explain what kind of feelings he had.
Such feelings had never appeared on Mabel Fox before. Ulric Swanson lit a cigarette in frustration and forced himself not to think about that ugly woman.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening.
The sunset was like a palette that had been knocked over. It was abnormally gorgeous.
Melody Fox and Ken Swanson got into the car together and headed to the venue of the Summer Gala organized by the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce.
This was a large manor that specialized in holding cocktail parties.
Behind the manor villa was a huge open-air swimming pool. The poolside was filled with all kinds of wine and snacks.
People were toasting each other in the classical band playing live. It was very lively.
After Melody Fox and Ken Swanson got out of the car and handed over their invitations, a waiter in a tuxedo led them through the gorgeous villa to the pool at the back.
As soon as Ken Swanson appeared, he was immediately surrounded by countless Insterimond nouveau riche and old money.
Just as Melody Fox was about to be squeezed out of Ken Swanson’s side, Fox suddenly reached out and grabbed Melody Fox’s waist.
Before anyone could react, he explained, “I haven’t
explained yet. This is my wife, Melody Fox. Like me, she’s Silverlake.”
Everyone was stunned. Countless gazes instantly landed on Melody Fox.
When they saw her face covered in red spots, without exception, they all revealed shocked expressions.
After a moment of nervousness, Melody Fox calmly nodded and greeted everyone. “Hello, everyone.”
Everyone quickly exchanged glances with each other. They quickly suppressed the shock and disbelief in their eyes and greeted Melody Fox.
“Hello, Miss Fox. We didn’t expect Mr. Swanson to be married.”
“What Miss Fox? You should call her Grandma Mr. Swanson.”
“Oh, yes, Grandma Mr. Swanson.”
Melody Fox was neither servile nor overbearing. He smiled
and said, “You don’t have to be so polite. Just call me
Melody Fox.”
“Melody Fox… Wait, I think I’ve seen this name somewhere before.”
Someone exclaimed, “You’re the one who… designed a beautiful gown on the Internet, right?”
“Yes, I just took the special talent enrollment exam for University Insterimond two days ago.”
As soon as he said this, people recognized Melody Fox one after another.
“Oh my god, you’re very good at drawing Halcyon. Is it you too?”
“You’re 46684 dollars’s master, right? I only found out because I saw you become a hot topic. You’re so young, but I didn’t expect you to be so powerful.”
“Mr. Swanson, you have such good taste. My daughter was crying and clamoring for that gown yesterday! I wonder if that gown will be sold in the end, or…?”
Melody Fox replied, “All the gowns designed by the examinees are kept in the unified collection of Insterimond University.”
“I see. That’s a pity.” The man looked regretful.
Those who hadn’t seen Melody Fox’s work couldn’t help but search on their phones.
With this search, Don Fox was stunned by Melody Fox’s work.
In Room Fox, there were even more people fighting to talk to Melody Fox than to Ken Swanson.
Ken Swanson stood proudly beside Melody Fox.
Look, this was his wife.
His taste was indeed not bad.
Two Insterimond socialites also left silently.
After leaving the crowd, he could not help but mock Melody in a low voice.
“So what if Halcyon draws well? She looks so unlucky. I wanted to eat some dessert, but her appetite was ruined.”
“That’s right. He didn’t even hide the red spots on his face at such a cocktail party. How disgusting!”
“I wonder what Mr. Swanson sees in her. He’s the dream man of thousands of girls, but he was actually taken by such an ugly woman. She must have saved his life in her previous life!”
Without exception, the male idol in their dreams was Ken Swanson.
He insisted on coming to the cocktail party with his family today because he wanted to try his luck and see if Ken Swanson would come.
In the end, Ken Swanson came and even brought his secret wife.
Oh no, they had already introduced it on such an occasion. It was no longer considered a secret marriage.
The more they spoke, the angrier they became. Their jealous gazes were fixed in the direction of Melody Fox.
Seeing that she was almost surrounded by people like the moon, he could not help but be even angrier.
“What’s there to be proud of? Did she really think that if Ken Swanson didn’t introduce her, others would talk to her for so long?”
“That’s right! Although I’ve never seen her work, she’s so ugly. I don’t think her work is good-looking!”
“The aesthetics of the Internet nowadays are really bad. Anyone can be on the Internet trending.”
“What’s the big deal about being popular? You just have to pay for this kind of thing! I think Ken Swanson must have paved the way for her. I really don’t know what kind of aesthetic taste Ken Swanson has to actually like that kind of thing!”
Just as the two of them were scolding Melody Fox passionately, they heard a shout not far away-
“Xiao Li, Xiao Chen, what are you guys talking about?”
The two of them turned their heads in the direction of the voice and saw Cai Lele, who often drank with them in the afternoon, walking over with a cold and handsome man. One of them quickly recognized the man.
“Yu Leyou? Why is he with Cai Lele?”
“Who is Yu Leyou?”
“He’s a former classmate of Cai Lele and I. He’s a very capable doctor now. He works in Insterimond First Hospital.”
“A doctor… No wonder he looks so elegant.”
As the two of them spoke, they raised their hands and called Cai Lele over.
Xiao Chen knew Yu Leyou. He immediately asked Cai Lele with a smile, “What’s going on, Lele? Why did you kidnap our former campus idol?”
“That’s right, Lele. What? Why didn’t I hear that you’re no longer single?”
Cai Lele immediately blushed. After glancing at Yu Leyou, she saw that he seemed a little impatient and quickly explained, “No, it’s not what you think. Our families are old friends. Brother Xiao, You treat me as his sister.”
Chapter 1131
Xiao Li and Xiao Chen looked at each other and continued to tease him with a smile.
“Oh? Little sister? You’re even calling him Brother Xiao You. I’ve never heard you call someone else so intimately.”
“What’s Fox for your wedding?”
Cai Lele’s face was as red as a monkey’s butt.
“We’re really not the kind of relationship you think we are. Stop talking.”
As she spoke, she looked at Yu Leyou and said, “Brother Xiao You, hurry up and explain it to them. Otherwise, they’ll tease us endlessly.”
Even so, Cai Lele hoped that Yu Leyou would not explain.
In this way, they could naturally be together.
She knew that Mother Yu and Father Yu were very satisfied with her. As long as they could be together, they would definitely be able to enter the marriage hall.
However, in the next second, Yu Leyou said coldly, “You’ve misunderstood. Lele is just my sister.”
The three of them were stunned.
Cai Lele’s face was like the sunset in the sky, changing again and again. Her eyes also turned red.
Her two friends looked at each other, feeling embarrassed for Cai Lele.
Cai Lele liked Yu Leyou. This was something that anyone with a discerning eye could see.
It was a pity that she was not interested in her.
If they had known earlier, they wouldn’t have said those words just now. Now, not only was Cai Lele embarrassed, but they were also embarrassed.
Yu Leyou spoke again, “Lele since your friend is here, you
guys chat first. I’ll go to the door to see if your father is here.” Cai Lele forced a smile.
“Alright, go ahead.”
Yu Leyou nodded and left without hesitation.
As he walked past a dessert table, he caught a glimpse of someone being surrounded not far ahead.
However, he quickly retracted his gaze and walked into the villa.
Although his mission today was to accompany Cai Lele, his most important goal was to help Father Yu meet with the higher-ups of Ximber Tech and negotiate the price of the core chip.
As long as the price could be negotiated, he would not have to ask the patients for their loans.
He could imagine that if it really came to that, the image he had always built in the hospital might be severely damaged. He couldn’t help but think of the foundation that Melody Fox had mentioned to him.
He had disdained to do that when he was Fox years old, but now, he really wanted to slap himself.
If he could have founded the foundation from the start, he would not be in such a bad situation now.
But it was too late to say anything now. She could only pray that everything went well tonight.
On Cai Lele’s side.
As soon as Yu Leyou left, Cai Lele’s two sisters apologized. “I’m sorry, Lele. I didn’t know this would happen…”
“I’m sorry. I really thought you two were already together, or about to be. That’s why I said that. Don’t be angry, Lele. We won’t be together again.”
Cai Lele shook her head and tried her best to shake off her sadness.
Just because Yu Leyou didn’t like her now didn’t mean that he wouldn’t like her in the future.
Yu Leyou simply knew too little about her.
In any case, Yu Leyou did not have anyone he liked. Sooner or later, she would be able to move his heart. Even if his
heart was as firm as a rock, there would come a day when water would drip through a rock.
After so many years of crushes, there had to be an outcome.
She would not give up just like that.
“It’s alright.” Cai Lele perked up and said, “You guys don’t know. You don’t have to apologize.”
Seeing that Cai Lele really had no intention of getting angry, the two of them were slightly relieved.
Cai Lele might be easy to talk to, but when she was angry, she could do many things without caring about the consequences.
Her parents doted on her and would help her clean up the mess every time.
Although their families were comparable, Cai Lele’s status in the family was something they didn’t have, so they more or less had some scruples about Cai Lele.
However, in the past, they would more or less laugh at Cai Lele in their hearts.
But today, the two of them had encountered a similar situation-the person they liked did not like them.
Therefore, not only did they not want to mock him, but they also felt the same way.
“I’m glad you’re not angry.”
“I knew Lele was the best.”
Cai Lele smiled and said, “By the way, what were you guys talking about just now? I saw that your expression as Fox was a little off.”
Xiao Chen sighed and spoke first. “Do you know Ken Swanson?”
“The Swanson Group?”
“Yeah.”
“Of course, I know. He’s your idol! By the way, is he here today too? Were you talking about him just now?”
“Yeah.” Xiao Chen sighed again and said, “Guess what? Ken Swanson is actually married.”
“What?!” Cai Lele’s eyes widened in surprise. “What Fox? Why is there no news of a famous person like him getting married?”
Xiao Chen shook his head. “I don’t know about that.
However, we weren’t talking about Ken Swanson just now. We were talking about his wife.”
Although Cai Lele’s heart belonged to someone else and she did not have any admiration for Ken Swanson, she still had the heart to gossip.
“What’s his wife like? Is she one of our Insterimond people? Do we know her?”
Xiao Li gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t know her! But she’s an ugly freak from head to toe!”
Cai Lele was stunned and asked, “Ugly monster? What do you mean?”
“She’s coming over… Look for yourself.”
Cai Lele looked in the direction of Little Li’s finger and saw that the woman in the black velvet gown had terrifying red spots on her face.
She widened her eyes in shock and asked in disbelief, “Are you sure you’re not joking with me? Is she really Ken Swanson’s wife?”
“Ken Swanson said it himself. It can’t be fake.”
“That’s really…” Cai Lele didn’t know how to describe it.
In any case, his eyes were filled with shock and incomprehension.
Just as they were chatting, Yu Leyou’s voice came from behind them.
“Lele, do you want to get something to eat or hang around?”
Cai Lele turned her head in surprise and asked in disbelief, Okay. Brother Xiao You, why are you back so soon?”
Yu Leyou didn’t answer this question and only said, “Then let’s go over there.”
In fact, he went to the door to pick up Father Cai, but before he could say anything, Father Cai asked him to look for Cai Lele.
He said that it was an adult’s matter, so he would handle it. He didn’t need to worry about it. He just needed to take good care of Cai Lele.
He had no choice. The Yu Family had a favor to ask of him, so he could only agree. That was why he returned to Cai Lele’s side so quickly.
“Okay.” Cai Lele didn’t dwell on this question. After saying goodbye to her two best friends, she left with Yu Leyou and began to stroll around the villa.
The two of them didn’t speak along the way. Cai Lele tried her best to find a topic to talk about.
Suddenly, she remembered her conversation with her best friends and quickly said, “Brother Xiaoyou, do you know Ken Swanson?”
“Yes. the Swanson Group’s chairman’s son.”
Yu Leyou nodded.
He remembered something about Ken Swanson.
Chapter 1132
His high school was Fox years old. Although he had always been first in his school, it was an elite school. Most people did not do well.
Therefore, if his good results were placed in other ordinary key high schools, he might only be a middle-class student at most.
But he only realized this later in a math competition. When Fox and Ken Swanson participated, he, who had always been praised in his school, felt a little uncomfortable when he saw others praise Ken Swanson.
However, he refused to believe it. He had to win against Ken Swanson.
Finally, after clearing five stages and killing six generals, he faced Ken Swanson.
In that match, he had lost completely. For the first time in his life, he realized that he was not as outstanding as the people around him said.
A true genius should be like Ken Swanson.
Therefore, after returning to school, he worked a hundred times harder than before and finally got into the medical school he liked.
However, after that, he never encountered Ken Swanson again.
the Swanson Group’s eldest son was actually on a completely different level from him, who was a new tycoon. Until today, when he heard the name Ken Swanson again, he still felt ashamed that he had lost to the other party.
Therefore, when he heard Cai Lele mention Ken Swanson, Yu Leyou felt an indescribable contradiction in his heart.
He was both impressed and displeased.
However, he naturally would not tell Cai Lele about his feelings. It was just like how he lost to Ken Swanson in the math competition that year. After he returned to school, he did not mention that he had participated in this competition.
He had his own pride.
He also thought that if Fox were to face Ken Swanson again, he would not lose as badly as the Foxnd generation of students.
Yu Leyou hid the complicated emotions in his heart and asked Cai Lele, “Why did you mention Ken Swanson?”
Cai Lele looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she lowered her voice and said, “Ken Swanson is here too. I just found out from my friend that he’s actually married.”
Yu Leyou was a little surprised.
“How come I’ve never heard of this news?”
In Halcyon, the news of someone getting married in every big family would quickly spread throughout the aristocratic circle.
Someone like Ken Swanson, who was already at the top of the pyramid, no one knew about his marriage?
This was very strange.
Seeing that Yu Leyou was interested in this matter, Cai Lele immediately continued, “You’re also very curious why he didn’t announce to the public that he’s already married, right?”
Yu Leyou had never liked to gossip.
However, when it came to his former opponent, he couldn’t help but ask Cai Lele.
“You know why?”
“Yes.” Cai Lele lowered her voice even more and said, ” Because his wife is very ugly.”
Yu Leyou was even more surprised and subconsciously denied, “That’s impossible.”
“It’s true. He came in with his wife today. I saw him with my own eyes.”
“Are you sure that’s his wife?”
“I’m sure. My friend said that Ken Swanson personally introduced that ugly woman to his wife.”
Cai Lele was afraid that Yu Leyou would misunderstand that she liked to judge a book by its cover, so she quickly added, “I’m not the kind of person who judges a book by its cover. It’s just that… I’m really a little shocked. Her appearance doesn’t match Ken Swanson at all. However, I think there must be something extraordinary about her. Otherwise, Ken Swanson wouldn’t have married her.”
“I heard that the Swanson family was engaged to a family when he was young. Perhaps that was his marriage.” “Ah? Then I understand why the Swanson family didn’t announce Ken Swanson’s marriage. However, Ken Swanson is quite responsible. Even if the other party looks like that… he still married her. Tonight, Insterimond will have countless daughters sad.”
Yu Leyou glanced at Cai Lele.
“You’re sad about that, too?”
“Of course not! In my heart, I…, I already have someone I like.” Cai Lele wanted to say something but hesitated. However, the meaning of her words was very obvious.
She didn’t like Ken Swanson. She already had someone she liked, and that person was Yu Leyou.
Yu Leyou pursed his lips.
It was undeniable that Cai Lele didn’t like Ken Swanson but liked him. This made him feel like he had won against Ken Swanson.
Her mood improved unconsciously.
The way Yu Leyou looked at Cai Lele was no longer as cold as before.
He took the initiative to say, “There’s nothing much to see in the pool. Shall we see the rest of the manor? I came over and saw that other than this villa, there are a few other buildings in the manor.”
“Okay.” Cai Lele was overjoyed and readily agreed.
On the other side, twenty minutes ago.
Melody Fox knew that Ken Swanson was too eye-catching. There were some things that he could not do, so he found an excuse to say that he was going around.
Ken Swanson knew what she was thinking. After using his eyes to remind her to be careful, he asked Aaron Berg to leave with Melody Fox.
After Melody Fox left, Fox vaguely sensed some unfriendly gazes sizing her up.
She turned her head and saw three socialites staring at her.
After some thought, she could roughly guess why their gazes were unfriendly.
Ken Swanson was still too eye-catching.
Fortunately, there were only a few people who knew his identity tonight.
Melody Fox ignored those gazes and quickened his pace towards the villa.
“Where is Old Master Ge now?” she asked.
Aaron Berg reported in a low voice behind her.
“I just found out that it’s on the second floor of the villa. However, people are guarding the stairs, so we can’t go up directly.”
“Then let’s go nearby and see if there’s any way to get to the second floor. If there isn’t, we can only think of a way to lure the bodyguards away.”
“Yes.”
Soon, the two of them arrived at the west side of the villa.
There was an air conditioner on the west side. Aaron Berg observed the height and said to Melody Fox, “Miss Fox, I can climb up from here. Enter the room on the second floor from the air conditioner.”
Melody Fox looked at it and said, “If I’m not wrong, Old Master Ge should be in the room with the brightest lights. Climb up quietly. If you’re sure that he’s in the room, pour the contents of the bottle into the room.”
As she spoke, she handed over a small white glass bottle.
The glass bottle was only the size of a finger. The liquid inside was colorless and odorless, so no one would discover it.
“Yes.”
Aaron Berg nodded. After receiving the glass bottle, he quickly and quietly arrived at the room Melody Fox pointed out.
Through the position of the air conditioner, he could see the scene inside clearly.
The window was half open, and the voices inside could be heard clearly.
Aaron Berg took out his phone. As he recorded the voice inside, he followed Melody Fox’s instructions and poured the liquid from the bottle onto the window frame.
The liquid evaporated very quickly and was gone in the blink of an eye.
Aaron Berg also recorded the conversation inside. Seeing Old Master Ge stand up from the sofa, he turned off his phone and jumped back to the ground.
The two of them left silently and only started to talk when they arrived at a secluded and deserted place.
Chapter 1133
Aaron Berg could not wait to report, “Miss Fox, I’ve already done as you said. Old Master Ge is indeed in the room you mentioned. You’re really divine!”
“That room is the largest and the brightest. If I’m not mistaken, it must be there.”
“Then you’re more observant than me. By the way, I was waiting for the liquid to evaporate when I heard them talking about something. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to convey it, so I simply recorded it. Listen.” “Yeah.”
Ge Pingchuan’s voice could be heard from Aaron Berg’s phone.
“Have you found out who did it?”
“I’m sorry, Master. I’m incompetent. I haven’t found out who injured Special Assistant Fang.”
“Did he see anyone recently?”
“No, Special Assistant Fang’s schedule is according to your instructions. However, he seemed to have met Mr. Liu Guangrui at the restaurant that day. Do you need us to investigate him?”
“Guang Rui? Then there’s no need to investigate. He’s someone I know very well. He won’t do such a thing. Investigate from another angle. Injuring Special Assistant Fang is a small matter, but if that person is targeting me, this matter can’t be concluded hastily.”
“Yes!”
The door opened and someone asked, “Master, are you going down? The guests are almost all here.”
“Alright, then prepare to leave.”
“By the way, Master, Young Master Ulric Swanson said that he has something on and has to go back to Silverlake first, so he won’t be attending tonight’s cocktail party.”
“That’s good too. Ramon Swanson has a lot of thoughts. I’m afraid he’ll have crooked thoughts when he finds out that he asked someone to treat me.”
“So… do you want to stand on Ulric Swanson’s side and help him become the heir?”
After a moment of silence, Old Master Ge said, “My illness was cured by the doctor he brought. Logically speaking, I have to help him. Although… among the two sons of Ramon Swanson, I actually admire Ken Swanson more.” Finally, the recording ended.
Melody Fox’s eyes flickered with a dark light, but the corners of his lips slowly curled up.
From the looks of it, Old Master Ge wanted to help Ken Swanson.
Very good. If he had such an idea, he would fulfill it for him.
“Let’s go. The cocktail party should be starting soon.” “Yes, Miss Fox.”
The two of them walked out of the flower bed. Not long after, Melody Fox met Yu Leyou here again.
Melody Fox already had some PTSD towards Yu Leyou. Just looking at him annoyed him.
He wasn’t a bad person by nature, but his one-track mind really made her a little unbearable.
The two of them faced each other. Melody Fox knew that he could not avoid it, so he continued to walk forward expressionlessly.
Sure enough, Yu Leyou quickly recognized Melody Fox.
He was stunned for a moment before he quickly walked forward and blocked Melody Fox’s path.
When their eyes met, Yu Leyou clearly saw a cold glint in Melody Fox’s eyes.
With just one glance, Yu Leyou felt like he was in an icehouse.
What Fox? Melody Fox had actually become so cold to him.
When the two of them had just met, Melody Fox’s attitude towards him was not like this.
He did not understand what he had done wrong.
Could it be that liking someone was a crime?
The more Yu Leyou thought about it, the more
uncomfortable he felt. Just as he was about to approach Melody Fox to speak, the tall bodyguard behind Melody Fox quickly stepped forward and stopped him from taking a step closer.
Yu Leyou was displeased.
He glared at Aaron Berg coldly. “Get out of the way! I have something to say to your Miss!”
Aaron Berg did not walk away but turned to ask for Melody Fox’s opinion.
“Miss Fox?”
Melody Fox coldly glanced at Yu Leyou.
“I have nothing to say to you. Move aside! Otherwise, I don’t mind getting someone to throw you out of here again.”
Yu Leyou was shocked, but he quickly regained his composure.
“You won’t do it.”
Melody Fox smiled mockingly. “Then you’ve misjudged me.”
Yu Leyou raised his chin slightly and said, “You’re also a guest here, so you have no right to throw me out. If I’m not wrong, you came to participate in the Insterimond Chamber of Commerce’s cocktail party because of Mr. Orrick, right?”
When Melody Fox heard this, the mockery in his eyes intensified.
‘I’m sorry to say you’re wrong. I’m here with my husband.” “You’re here again… What do you mean by Fox? I’ve already asked my teacher. He said that you’re not married at all.”
Yu Leyou did not want to expose Rodney Stanton, but Melody Fox had used this as an excuse to shut him up time and time again. He really could not stand it anymore.
“Rodney Stanton?”
Melody Fox was surprised for a moment, but he quickly understood. The reason why Rodney Stanton was so persuasive to Yu Le was because he was worried that saying Ken Swanson would bring her some unnecessary trouble.
Unexpectedly, when it came to Yu Leyou, she was the one who was lying.
Melody Fox felt helpless.
“You can ask Rodney Stanton again what’s going on… Forget it, there’s no need for that. My husband is also here today. If there’s a chance later, I’ll bring him to see you personally. You should believe me by Fox, right?”
“I’m just looking for an actor. It’s not difficult. I don’t understand. Why are you so against me? You weren’t like this in the beginning.”
“Because at first, I thought you were a normal person.” Yu Leyou’s face lit up.
“Are you saying I’m not normal?”
“Who knows, maybe I’m the abnormal one. So don’t come looking for an abnormal person like me again. Aaron Berg, let’s go.”
“Yes, Miss Fox.”
Aaron Berg stepped aside and made way for Melody Fox.
Similarly, Fox deliberately stood in front of Yu Leyou with his tall figure.
Although Yu Leyou was tall, his size was completely incomparable to a martial arts practitioner like Aaron Berg. He wanted to catch up to Melody Fox, but he was stopped by Aaron Berg.
“Get out of my way! You’re just a bodyguard. How dare you block my way?”
Aaron Berg looked at Yu Leyou as if he was looking at a pig.
“I’m indeed just a bodyguard, but even if I’m just a bodyguard, you can’t afford to offend me. Do you know who our husband is? He’s…”
Just as he was about to speak, Aaron Berg saw someone walking over from the corner of his eye.
He was afraid of causing trouble for Ken Swanson, so he could only shut his mouth. After warning Yu Leyou with his eyes to stop following him, he quickly followed Melody Fox’s footsteps.
Yu Leyou was about to catch up when he saw Cai Lele, who had just gone to the toilet, return.
Helpless, he could only wait for Cai Lele.
Yu Leyou’s desire to conquer Melody Fox only grew stronger as he watched Melody Fox leave.
This intense feeling had nothing to do with Melody Fox relying on his medical skills to attract him in the beginning. It was purely a battle for a man’s dignity.
“Brother Xiaoyou, did I keep you waiting?”
Yu Leyou shook his head and said, “Fox rooms should be enough. Shall we go back? If you still want to walk around, wait for Old Man Ge to finish his opening speech before we go out.”
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Cai Lele nodded obediently.
This lightened Yu Leyou’s mood considerably.
Women should be like Cai Lele. Why did Melody Fox have to be like that?
Chapter 1134
Wasn’t Melody Fox from the south?
Southern girls should be much gentler than Northern girls like Cai Lele.
However, if Melody Fox did not have such a personality, perhaps his feelings for her would not be as passionate as they are now.
Melody Fox, he would definitely chase after her.
As for what would happen after he caught up to her, he had not thought about it.
However, he always followed his heart when he did things. If the two of them were really not compatible after getting together, he would not force himself to marry her. However, Yu Leyou suddenly realized that he really did not like her as Melody Fox had said.
But even if it wasn’t, he had to get her!
After getting together with him, he would not let Melody Fox suffer. When the day of their breakup came, he would use a sum of money to compensate her.
“Brother Xiao You? What are you thinking?”
Cai Lele saw that although Yu Leyou was looking at her, he seemed to be thinking about other people or other things through her.
This intuition made Cai Lele a little unhappy.
Yu Leyou also felt Cai Lele’s displeasure.
He explained, “I’m fine. I was thinking about the hospital.”
Cai Lele’s expression quickly softened.
“It’s not easy for you to rest. Don’t think about work. There are other doctors in the hospital. Since we’re here to play, let’s have fun. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. It’s not good for your health.”
“Yeah.”
“By the way,” Cai Lele said, “I saw Ken Swanson’s wife just now. Did you see her? She seemed to have walked over from your side.”
“No.” Yu Leyou shook his head. “Just now, he only met me… a colleague. He didn’t see anyone else.”
‘Well, then she could have gone over the other way. It’s a shame you didn’t see her. You’d have been shocked too, surely, to see her.’
“Maybe.”
Yu Leyou did not want to mention Ken Swanson anymore. He quickened his pace and said, “Let’s hurry back to the pool.”
On the other side, after Melody Fox got rid of Yu Leyou, he walked to the pool and asked Aaron Berg about the contents of the recording.
“Special Assistant Fang, did you do it?”
Aaron Berg did not deny it.
“Yes, but we did it very cleanly. They’ll never be able to trace it back to us.”
“I believe in your ability. It’s just that… Sigh, forget it. Ken Swanson’s personality of settling scores won’t change for a while.”
She just did not expect Ken Swanson to really settle scores with Special Assistant Fang.
Although she was worried that Ge Pingchuan would find out about them, she felt a sense of sweetness.
She was someone who had someone to stand up for her. It was no longer a lone island.
Melody Fox was very glad that he had crossed the hurdle in his heart and chose to accept Ken Swanson’s feelings.
Otherwise, she would probably never be able to feel such sweetness in her life.
After returning to the pool, Melody Fox quickly found Ken Swanson.
He was like a Cindy in the crowd. There was no need to look carefully to discover him at a glance.
The people surrounding Ken Swanson did not seem to have been sent away.
Melody Fox and Ken Swanson stood side by side and said in a voice that only they could hear each other, “It’s done.” “How long before Fox takes effect?”
“There are no specific Fox rooms. It depends on his immune system.”
“The immune system is good. Will Fox be long?”
“No, it’s the opposite. The immune system is bad, so the effect of Fox cells will be longer. However, no matter how long it is, it will flare up within two small Fox cells.”
“Well, as long as it flares up before the reception is over, our plan will work.”
As he spoke, a white-haired old man appeared at the entrance of the pool surrounded by a group of people. “That’s Ge Pingchuan,” Ken Swanson said.
Melody Fox nodded and noticed that the man standing behind Ge Pingchuan was the man she met yesterday at the Herbal medicine store.
Spencer had already found the other party’s basic information for her.
His name was Qin Yue. Before he became Ge Pingchuan’s private doctor, he worked at an unknown restaurant.
It was similar to the Michael Hudson hidden in Herbathrive.
After malicious doctors were severely beaten by Halcyon, in order to hide his identity and survive, he would choose some traditional medicine restaurants as doctors.
Meanwhile, Qin Yue had become Ge Pingchuan’s personal doctor in the past few months.
Obviously, this was all Jennie Taylor’s intentional arrangement.
His goal was to let Qin Yue first make Ge Pingchuan sick, and then Ulric Swanson would bring Jennie Taylor to cure Ge Pingchuan so that he could obtain Ge Pingchuan’s support.
However, since she had discovered the plan, she could forget about continuing it.
In the previous life, Jennie Taylor did not appear in front of them, so Ge Pingchuan did not fall sick at all. It was also because of this that Melody Fox did not come into contact with Ge Pingchuan.
However, from Ge Pingchuan’s eyes, it could be seen that he was an ordinary old man without any hostility.
Of course, his ability was definitely not as ordinary as he looked.
Otherwise, how could he be the president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce?
As soon as Ge Pingchuan appeared, the guests immediately raised their glasses to toast him.
“It’s another summer cocktail party. Thank you for inviting me again, Old Master Ge. I wish the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce better and better in advance.”
“I heard that you were a little unwell in Room Fox. Seeing that you’re recovering so well, you should have recovered, right? Congratulations.”
Ge Pingchuan chuckled.
“Thank you, everyone, for coming to our Jingbei Chamber of Commerce’s Summer Gala despite your busy schedules. Let me return a toast to everyone!”
The sound of glasses clinking rang out one after another.
Ge Pingchuan took a sip of fruit wine symbolically and began the opening speech.
“Most of the people present today are from our Jingbei Chamber of Commerce. In addition, there are also esteemed guests that I’ve specially invited. I hope that everyone will eat, drink, and have a good time tonight!”
“Of course, just like in previous years, there will be a charity auction at the end of the banquet. Our Jingbei Chamber of Commerce will donate all the money sold to charity.”
“I’ll cut to the chase. I hereby announce that the Summer has officially begun!”
With a cheer, the band that had stopped earlier began to play a more cheerful tune again. The atmosphere was pushed to a high pitch.
Ken Swanson Shi Fox brought Melody Fox over to greet Ge Pingchuan.
“Old Ge, long time no see. How are you?”
“It’s Ken! It’s been a long time. The last time I saw you was at Fox during the new year, right?” Old Master Ge chuckled, but he was a little more distant than before.
It was self-evident where this unfamiliarity came from.
“Yes. I heard that you were sick a while ago?”
“Yes. When you’re old, you’ll always have this and that minor ailment. Now that you’ve recovered, don’t worry.”
“That’s good. I was originally a little worried about you, so I especially brought my wife along. She’s proficient in medicine, so I wanted her to take a look at you. Now, it seems that there’s no need.”
Only then did Ge Pingchuan notice Melody Fox, who was standing beside Ken Swanson.
It was not that Melody Fox’s presence was too weak, but her appearance made Ge Pingchuan subconsciously think that she was Ken Swanson’s subordinate, so he did not pay attention to her.
Chapter 1135
Now that Ge Pingchuan heard what Ken Swanson said, and he only had Melody Fox by his side, he shifted his gaze to Melody Fox.
It wasn’t a big deal when he took a casual glance just now, but when he took a closer look, his face that was covered in red spots simply made one’s back turn cold.
However, Ge Pingchuan could also tell that without these red spots, this woman’s appearance would be very stunning.
What a pity.
Ge Pingchuan hid his thoughts and asked in disbelief, “Is this… your wife?”
“Yes, her name is Melody Fox. Melody. This is Old Ge, whom I mentioned to you. He’s very close to my father.”
Melody Fox smiled and extended his hand.
“Hello, Old Ge. I’ve heard a lot about you. Seeing you today, your aura is indeed extraordinary.”
Ge Pingchuan politely shook hands with Melody Fox.
“Hello, hello. Your name is Melody, right?”
“Yes,” Melody Fox agreed. As they shook hands, Fox consciously placed his thumb on Ge Pingchuan’s pulse.
In almost two seconds, Melody Fox determined Ge Pingchuan’s illness.
Melody Fox only retracted his hand after making his judgment.
The entire process was very natural and fast. It was as if they had really just shaken hands. Even Ge Pingchuan himself did not suspect anything.
Ge Pingchuan smiled at her and said, “It’s the first time I’ve seen you. I didn’t know you were coming. Otherwise, I would have prepared a welcome gift for you. I watched Ken grow up. This gift can’t be short. I’ll make it up to you tomorrow. You must accept it.”
“Then I’ll thank Old Ge.”
“Hehe.” Ge Pingchuan smiled and looked at Ken Swanson.” Your father has already asked you to return to Silverlake headquarters. Why are you suddenly here again this time?” “You guys chat. I’ll go find something to drink first.” Melody Fox took the initiative to retreat.
Ge Pingchuan raised his eyebrows and did not stop her. It was obvious that he also hoped that she would not be present.
After Melody Fox left, Ken Swanson answered Ge Pingchuan’s question.
“The most important thing for this trip is to accompany Melody to take the special talent recruitment examination for Insterimond University. Due to some problems, during the SAT exam, she did not perform well, so she wants to take this opportunity to see if she can enter Insterimond University.” “I see. I wonder how it turned out?”
“He’s been accepted.”
“Haha, your wife is naturally not an ordinary person. I also thought that she must have been accepted. Congratulations.”
“Thanks a lot.”
Ge Pingchuan was silent for a moment before finally asking the question in his heart.
“Your wife doesn’t look familiar. I wonder how you two met?”
Ken Swanson replied formally, “It can be considered fate. Our family and hers were once engaged when they were young.”
“Oh! I remember now. There was such a thing. When there were many rumors around FoxInsterimond that your family might not acknowledge this marriage, it seems like you two are getting along quite well?”
“Yes, she has her charms. I love her very much.”
Ge Pingchuan was shocked.
Even he could not help but widen his eyes slightly.
But he quickly regained his composure.
Ken Swanson had always been unreasonable. Based on his understanding of Ken Swanson, this was probably not just for show.
He could even accompany her to the Insterimond exam. If he didn’t have “love” as a foundation, he wouldn’t have to do this even if he was just putting on an act.
However, according to his understanding, the family that was engaged to Ken Swanson was no longer as glorious as before.
Marrying a woman whose family had declined was of little help to Ken Swanson.
This way, Ulric Swanson had the upper hand in this aspect.
Since he owed Ulric Swanson a huge favor, Ken Swanson’s choice was a good thing for him.
Ge Pingchuan smiled and said, “Come, let me introduce you to a few new talents of our Chamber of Commerce. They are all very outstanding young people. I think you might have something to talk about.”
Ge Pingchuan looked polite, but he was actually looking for a few people to speak to Ken Swanson on his behalf.
Ge Pingchuan admitted that he had acted naturally, but Ken Swanson, who already knew about Plan Ulric Swanson, had an omniscient view. How could he not see that Ge Pingchuan was unintentionally giving him the cold shoulder?
If not, Ge Pingchuan would definitely be by his side throughout the entire cocktail party.
“Come, these are our Chamber of Commerce…”
After Ge Pingchuan introduced them one by one, he left with the excuse that he had other matters to attend to.
Ken Swanson’s expression was the same as usual. He did not seem to notice that Ge Pingchuan had neglected him much more than before.
On the other side.
Melody Fox came to a long table by the pool and picked up a glass of drink with lemon slices hanging on the wall. Just as he was about to drink it, his sensitive nose immediately smelled an unusual smell.
This smell was very faint and ordinary people could not smell it at all.
Only someone like her, who was proficient in pharmacology and had an extraordinary sense of smell, could sense it.
Melody Fox put down the glass without a trace and sprinkled a white powder into it when no one was paying attention.
A moment later, the transparent drink instantly turned pale yellow.
Her powder was developed by her master using Fox units over several years. The principle was similar to a PH test paper.
But not for acid-alkali, but for malicious doctors.
As long as the color changed, it meant that there were malicious doctor’s poisons inside.
However, the color was very faint, indicating that this was not a poison measured by memory, but a chronic light poison.
However, the malicious doctor’s poison, even if it was a chronic light poison, was still very harmful to a person’s body. Moreover, without the help of medicine, the damage was almost irreversible.
In the next second, Melody Fox quickly looked at Ken Swanson.
He took the champagne from the waiter’s tray and was about to have a drink with the young people Ge Pingchuan had introduced.
She quickly walked over and grabbed Ken Swanson’s wrist, which was holding the wine glass.
The group of people, including Ken Swanson, looked at Melody Fox in shock.
“What’s wrong? Melody?”
Ken Swanson asked in confusion. He did not forget to introduce Melody Fox to them. “This is my wife.”
“Ah…” A few of them were stunned for a moment before they quickly reacted and greeted Melody Fox.
“Mrs. Swanson, okay.”
“Hello.” Melody Fox did not let go of Ken Swanson’s hand. He smiled and said to them, “Do you mind if I borrow him for a while?”
“Of course, I don’t mind. You can do whatever you want.”
Melody Fox nodded and led Ken Swanson to a corner with a smile.
This area was covered by a huge pink inflatable air cushion swimming ring.
As she observed her surroundings, she said to Ken Swanson, “There’s something wrong with the drink here.”
Ken Swanson tightened his grip on the wine glass. “Poisoned?”
“Yes.” Melody Fox nodded slightly and sprinkled some powder into Ken Swanson’s champagne again.
Sure enough, the color of the champagne had also changed, but it was still very light.
Ken Swanson’s expression turned grave.
He guessed, “It seems that Ulric Swanson not only wants to rope in Ge Pingchuan but also wants to control the entire Jingbei Chamber of Commerce. His appetite is not small.”
“Perhaps there’s another purpose besides that. He knew you’d come.”
A cold glint flashed across Ken Swanson’s eyes.
“What are the consequences of this poison?”
“It’s a slow-acting poison. As time passes and the blood flows, the poison will invade the organs of the body. Although it won’t kill you, it will reduce your immunity.”
