Chapter 1246
This gown designed by Mabel Fox was made with the concept of a mermaid.
In between, she secretly referenced the dress that Melody Fox had designed and made at Insterimond University.
However, because she did not know French embroidery, the final effect was still very different from Melody Fox’s dress. It was almost impossible to tell that she had referenced Melody Fox’s work.
Moreover, she had embedded a lot of Luohua Sage Crystals in the Upper, so the dress looked very expensive.
On City, this dress was still very eye-catching. This was also produced by her after staying up for a few nights with a few designers from the Justalion Group.
All in all, this piece of work was the most satisfactory and perfect piece of work she had ever seen.
Mabel Fox asked Mrs. Yang confidently, “Do you think it’s alright? There shouldn’t be anything you’re dissatisfied with, right?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Mabel Fox saw Mrs. Yang frowning tightly. Her gaze was fixed on the dress, and it was unknown what she was thinking.
Mabel Fox’s smile froze on her face. He asked hesitantly,” What’s wrong?”
Russell Fox also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and looked over at Mabel Fox and Mrs. Yang.
“This gown…” Mrs. Yang paused as if she did not know how to describe it.
“Just say it,” Mabel Fox said.
Mrs. Yang nodded. “Alright, then I’ll be direct. I want to ask, was this gown really designed by Miss Fox?”
“Yeah…” Mabel Fox asked in confusion, “Is there a problem with that?”
Mrs. Yang shook her head and said, “That’s not right. If this gown had been designed by Miss Fox, why would the style have been different from what I saw before? This is not the style I wanted at all.”
Mabel Fox’s expression changed slightly.
“Then, what style do you like?”
“I’ll take it the way it was.”
Mabel Fox was puzzled. “But this is the original style…”
Her design style had always been this gorgeous. It had never changed.
Because she liked this style herself and happened to be good at this style of design, this was her usual style. Mrs. Yang was even more confused.
The gown she saw online was completely different from this style.
If the gown in front of her was the mermaid princess’ dreamy wind, then the gown she had seen was the moonlight in the bamboo forest with a hazy and untouchable beauty.
Although both of them were good-looking, the latter was more advanced in terms of both craftmanship and production techniques.
The gown in front of him was beautiful, but it was too common and ordinary.
How could these two styles be the original style?
Russell Fox and President Yang also walked over.
“What’s going on? Are you dissatisfied with the gown?” Russell Fox was the first to ask. He glanced at Mabel Fox with a hint of complaint in his eyes.
She had already said that this gown was very important.
Why wasn’t she designing it properly?
Mabel Fox understood Russell Fox’s gaze and felt aggrieved.
She had already designed it seriously, and she had never been as serious as this time.
Mrs. Yang was dissatisfied. What could she do?
This Mrs. Yang was really too much. She was clearly her fan. She should like her own design very much. Why was she starting to despise it now?
Was she a fake fan?
Of course, Mabel Fox only dared to complain in her heart. Mrs. Yang said, “It’s not that I’m dissatisfied, it’s just that this gown… This gown is not the kind I want from the beginning to the end. The style I want is the simple and elegant style of Miss Fox, but it won’t be ignored.”
Mabel Fox was stunned.
Suya? Aloof and dignified?
Her designs had nothing to do with these adjectives.
“Mabel, what’s going on? Didn’t you design it according to your original style? Mrs. Yang likes your original style.”
Before Mabel Fox could speak, Mrs. Yang suddenly said, ” Mabel? What Mabel?”
Mabel Fox was stunned.
She suddenly realized something that she had never thought of before.
That was, the “dress designed by the Fox family’s daughter” that Mrs. Yang wanted was not her at all, but Melody Fox! After realizing this, Mabel Fox’s pupils suddenly dilated, and her lips trembled visibly as if she had fallen into a bottomless nightmare.
At this moment, she had the urge to scream and destroy everything in front of her.
Her lips were tightly pursed, and her entire face looked pale. The anger in her eyes was very clear.
Coincidentally, there was a commotion outside the door.
“You can’t go in… Sir has instructed…”
“Move aside!” A cold female voice sounded. Two seconds later, the red-faced Melody Fox stepped into the living room.
The servant followed closely behind. When she saw Russell Fox looking over, she hurriedly lowered her head
and explained, “I’m sorry, sir. I wanted to stop her, but I couldn’t…”
Russell Fox’s expression changed slightly.
He waved his hand to signal the servant to leave. He frowned and asked Melody Fox, “What are you doing here?”
“What? The Fox family isn’t even letting me in now?”
When Mrs. Yang saw Melody Fox appear, she could not hide the surprise in her heart.
However, when she heard the conversation between Russell Fox and Melody Fox, she could not help but look at her husband in confusion.
The Fox family, what’s going on?
Russell Fox noticed the exchange of glances between the two of them and said apologetically, “I’m sorry for making a fool of myself. This girl… I’ve already severed my father-daughter relationship with her. I don’t know what happened today, but she suddenly barged in and disturbed the two of you. Please wait a moment. I’ll chase her away now and not let her get in our way.”
Seeing that Russell Fox was about to chase Melody Fox away, Mrs. Yang immediately came back to her senses.
She took a few steps forward and stopped Russell Fox, who was about to chase him away.
“President Fox, sorry to disturb you today. Miss Mabel Fox’s gown is very beautiful. I’ll get my assistant to settle the price of this gown for you at the market price later. We won’t disturb you anymore.”
Russell Fox said in shock, “Market price? No… Mrs. Yang, President Yang, didn’t we agree that this gown is my gift to you…”
Mrs. Yang smiled insincerely. “How can I do that? I don’t deserve a reward for nothing. I definitely have to pay.”
President Yang had always placed his wife at the center.
He looked down and said, “President Fox, don’t stand on ceremony. This is what I should do.”
Russell Fox finally realized that something was wrong.
He asked anxiously, “Then… President Yang, about what we said before…”
“About this…” President Yang glanced at his wife and said gently, “Let’s talk about this later. We’re here to get the clothes today.”
“N-no…”
Russell Fox hurriedly said, “We clearly agreed last time that once the gown was designed, we would sign the contract…”
Chapter 1247
Upon hearing Russell Fox’s words, President Yang revealed a confused expression.
“Contract? What Fox? My memory isn’t particularly good. Wait for me to go back and recall.”
Russell Fox’s eyes widened. He did not know what to say, but he almost fainted from the pressure in his chest.
If not for the fact that he had a favor to ask, he would have punched President Yang to death for going back on his word.
However, he really could not figure it out. He was fine just now. Why did he suddenly break the contract?
Russell Fox’s gaze instantly landed on Melody Fox. It was her!
It was this jinx!
Ever since this jinx returned to Silverlake from the countryside, nothing good had happened at home.
Today’s contract was originally set in stone, but once this jinx appeared, everything was ruined!
It was all this jinx’s fault. It was all her fault!
Just as Russell Fox was thinking about how to teach
Melody Fox a lesson after the Yang couple left, he saw Mrs. Yang walking quickly to Melody Fox and extending her hand to Melody Fox with an honored expression.
“Miss Fox, nice to meet you in person!”
Melody Fox came here today because of the share transfer. Therefore, when she came in and saw that the Fox family had guests, she was a little surprised.
As the saying goes, one should not air one’s dirty laundry in public. She did not intend to fall out with Fox when there were guests around.
Therefore, she had already planned to leave first just now. Unexpectedly, one of the guests greeted her very warmly and humbly.
Melody Fox did not know why the other party was so enthusiastic, but she still reached out and shook her hand twice.
“Hello, you are…?”
The makeup on the woman’s face was exquisite, making it impossible to tell her exact age. However, from the beauty in her bones and her noble dress, it could be seen that her identity was not ordinary.
But one thing was for sure, she did not know this unusually enthusiastic woman in front of her.
The other party quickly handed over his business card.
Melody Fox glanced at it and saw that it was a company that made equipment related to the clothing industry. The other party was the vice president. That man must be her husband and the chairman of this company.
The other party said excitedly, “I’m a fan of yours! Ever since I saw that gown you designed at Insterimond University online, I’ve dreamed of wearing the clothes you designed. Look, that’s how I found the Fox family.”
At this point, the woman changed the topic and said, “I just didn’t expect you to have already cut ties with the Fox family. I wondered why the gown I got today wasn’t even one ten-thousandth as beautiful as the one you designed. I didn’t expect them to be mistaken. They thought that the gown I wanted was designed by their daughter.”
She was wondering why there was such a huge difference in style.
Now, she finally understood.
The gown was not designed by Melody Fox at all. the Fox family people had made a mistake and thought that she wanted Mabel Fox’s gown.
No wonder there was such a huge difference in their standards!
When Mabel Fox heard this, her expression turned extremely ugly. It was as if a dark cloud had covered his face. It was about to rain heavily with the wind.
Unexpectedly…
She actually dared to say that about him!!
She could lose to anyone, but to Melody Fox, she couldn’t take it!!
Mabel Fox gritted her teeth.
If the Yang couple were not present, she would have torn Melody Fox apart!
Russell Fox’s expression changed again and again.
So…
It turned out that the reason why so many people had been looking for her these few days was not because she wanted Mabel Fox’s design, but because she wanted Melody Fox’s costume!
When he thought of those people’s requests, he had already agreed to them one by one. His head hurt.
What should I do? What should I do now?
Russell Fox felt like vomiting blood.
Mrs. Yang was still talking.
“Miss Fox, seeing that I’m a loyal fan of yours, can I… buy a gown from you? As long as you agree to design a gown for me, you can ask for whatever price you want, as long as we can afford it.”
The wife-doting maniac, President Yang, also said, “Miss Fox, as long as you promise my wife that if you need my help in the future, just ask Fox! I will definitely do my best for you!”
Melody Fox would not accept such private work.
Firstly, she did not lack money. Secondly, she did not have so much free time.
But now that she saw Russell Fox and Mabel Fox’s expressions, she changed her mind.
Room Fox was like toothpaste. It looked like it was gone, but it could still be squeezed out.
Thinking of this, Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and said, ” I’m quite busy… However, since you’re my fan, I can consider it. If there is time in the next two days, I can choose to help you design.”
“Really? That’s great!”
Mrs. Yang’s eyes turned into Cindy’s eyes. She said weakly,” It’s my birthday soon. I wonder if I can make it?”
“What’s your birthday?”
“Number 22.”
Melody Fox nodded. “That’s enough.”
“That’s great! Thank you, Miss Fox, thank you! You don’t know how famous you are in the fashion industry now. Countless people want the clothes you designed!”
Melody Fox curled her lips. “You flatter me. I still have some personal matters to discuss with Mr. Fox. Go back and wait. I’ll try my best to design it for you before the 22nd.”
ę
Mrs. Yang nodded repeatedly. After asking for Melody Fox’s contact information, she didn’t dare to disturb Melody Fox anymore and pulled her husband away.
After the couple left, they didn’t even greet Russell Fox. They completely ignored Russell Fox and Mabel Fox.
Russell Fox’s expression turned even uglier.
After the two of them left, Russell Fox could not take it anymore and said, “Melody Fox, what do you want?! I’m your father! Do you have to kill your biological father?!”
Melody Fox’s face was cold.
Russell Fox was most likely not her biological father. When she did these things, she would not have the same worries and burdens as before.
“That’s right!” Mabel Fox added fuel to the fire. “If you hadn’t suddenly appeared, Dad’s collaboration with the Yang family wouldn’t have been ruined! Do you know that Dad can’t eat or sleep every day for the company? For the Yang family’s machine to give us a discount of one thousand million dollars, he even bowed down to them! But how could you join the Yang family to play with Dad and me?”
Melody Fox crossed her arms in front of his chest and asked in amusement, “Playing around? Dare I ask what game I’m playing around with you?”
“Stop pretending!” Mabel Fox pulled Russell Fox and said, Dad, it must be because she wanted to trick us and see us lose face. She deliberately colluded with the Yang couple and came to find the wrong person to design the gown! The Yang family must have never thought of selling the machine to us cheaply from the beginning.”
Russell Fox’s frown was so deep that it could kill a fly.
“Evil creature, how dare you…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Melody Fox raised his hand and clapped.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
“Brilliant! What a wonderful story you’ve come up with! If I hadn’t been involved, I would have believed it.”
Chapter 1248
The mocking smile on Melody Fox’s face made Russell Fox stop cursing.
He asked uncertainly, “You really didn’t collude with the Yang family to play with me?”
Mabel Fox panicked and immediately said, “Dad, don’t ask her. She definitely won’t admit it!”
“Shut up!” Russell Fox glared at Mabel Fox and looked at Melody Fox. “Did you collude with the Yang family to trick me?”
Melody Fox said calmly, “Do you think you deserve me to make a big detour just to fool you?”
Russell Fox’s face alternated between green and white. Melody Fox’s words made him even angrier than if she was really toying with him.
“Evil creature! How dare you speak to your biological father like that? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?”
Melody Fox sneered and said, “If there’s really such a thing as heavenly punishment, you were the one who was struck first. I don’t believe you don’t know why my mother died in the delivery room back then.”
Russell Fox’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
“Don’t talk nonsense! Your mother left after giving birth to you. There’s no inside story!”
“Oh? Then why do you look so guilty?”
“T-That’s because I feel guilty towards your mother. In the Fox days that she was still alive, I didn’t treat her better.”
Melody Fox did not want to continue arguing with Russell Fox over this matter. After all, the truth would soon be revealed.
When the Fox family was at the end of his rope, Russell Fox would definitely take the initiative to tell him these secrets in exchange for what he wanted in order to protect his life and wealth.
Melody Fox looked at room Fox. Seeing that it was almost 11:30 pm, he went straight to the point. “I can tell you clearly that I didn’t know about the Yang couple beforehand. However, it’s not impossible for you to cooperate with the Yang family according to the original contract.”
Russell Fox frowned and asked, “What do you mean by that?” Melody Fox crossed her arms.
As long as you promise me one thing, I’ll help Mrs. Yang design a gown that she’s satisfied with. When we reach Fox, I’ll speak up for you and let you get the cooperation with them again.”
Mabel Fox was afraid that Melody Fox’s condition was for her to return to the Fox family.
In the year, she didn’t even have a way out.
Thinking of this, Mabel Fox grabbed Russell Fox’s sleeve nervously and said, “Dad… Don’t listen to her. This might be a trap. We can’t be tricked by her!”
After a moment of silence, Russell Fox pushed Mabel Fox away.
“Tell me what the conditions are first.”
“Dad…”
“Shut up!”
Mabel Fox received a warning look from Russell Fox, scaring Fox into silence.
Mabel Fox fell silent. Melody Fox then spoke.
This condition is not difficult for you at all.”
“What condition?”
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows and said, “I heard that you want to move Yolanda Fox’s ashes into the ancestral grave?”
Mabel Fox’s heart skipped a beat.
Melody Fox continued, “As long as you promise not to move Yolanda Fox’s ashes and memorial tablet into the ancestral grave and not allow her to enter the family tree or the ancestral hall of her hometown, then… I will naturally let you smoothly and satisfactorily obtain the cooperation with the Yang family.”
Russell Fox had thought that Melody Fox wanted the Justalion Group shares. When he heard that it was only Yolanda Fox’s ashes, he instantly nodded.
“Alright, I promise you! I promise I won’t move Yolanda Fox’s ashes and memorial tablet into the ancestral grave or let her enter the ancestral hall in her hometown.”
Mabel Fox looked at Russell Fox in shock.
“Dad, you promised me…”
Russell Fox was a little embarrassed, but he still said with a straight face, “You’re still young. You don’t understand. You’ Il understand when you’re older and more mature.” Compared to the dead, the living were the most important.
To be able to exchange such a small matter for 4,532,660, 000 was a sure-win deal for him.
“But, Dad…”
“Alright, Mabel Fox, don’t test my patience. Go upstairs now. I don’t want to hear you stirring up trouble here again.”
Messing things up?
Mabel Fox felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his heart. He wished he could burn Russell Fox to ashes.
He had promised himself that he would move his mother into the ancestral grave and let her enter the family tree.
But now, Melody Fox had broken his promise with just a few words.
When Fox, Russell Fox said that no matter who stopped him, he would move his mother into his ancestral grave.
Fox was so eloquent, but now Russell Fox looked ridiculous in her eyes.
However, the most ridiculous thing was that she actually believed Russell Fox’s words!
Mabel Fox did not dare to do anything to Russell Fox. She only glared at Melody Fox and went upstairs angrily.
She didn’t believe that she could earn a place in the family tree for her mother when her mother was already dead.
Mabel Fox hurriedly ran upstairs. After gathering her emotions, she quickly called Ulric Swanson.
She rarely dared to take the initiative to call Ulric Swanson. She was afraid that Ulric Swanson would feel annoyed and stay away from her.
Therefore, Mabel Fox was very nervous when she made the call. She was afraid that Ulric Swanson would not pick up her call.
Fortunately, after two beeps, Ulric Swanson picked up. “Hello? Mabel?”
The gentle voice gave Mabel Fox great encouragement. “Ulric…” As soon as she opened her mouth, Mabel Fox’s tears flowed down.
At this moment, her grievances could be vented.
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. Tell me first, what happened? Who dared to bully my Mabel? Tell me, and I’ll help you get it back a thousand times over.”
Mabel Fox tried his best to stop his tears and said, “No one bullied me… It’s just that Dad clearly promised me that he would move Mom into the ancestral grave and enter the family tree. But just now, Sister came over and made Dad promise her with a few words that he would never let Mom enter the family tree and the ancestral grave. I’m really sad and aggrieved…”
Mabel Fox wished he could throw himself into Ulric Swanson’s arms and cry.
“You said… Melody Fox?”
“Well …”
“Why would she suddenly go to the Fox family?”
“I don’t know either. I just happened to meet her in the neighborhood. Dad was originally discussing a
collaboration, but she ruined the collaboration the moment she entered. She even used the collaboration as a threat to prevent my mother from entering the family tree.”
On the other end of the phone, Ulric Swanson originally thought that Melody Fox might do something.
However, after asking in detail, he realized that he was only interested in Yolanda Fox and Fox.
He felt annoyed just listening to the Fox family’s trivial and chaotic matters.
However, Mabel Fox was still useful to him.
“I understand. Mabel, don’t cry first. I’ve already understood the situation. How about this? Give me some Fox rooms and I’ll help you convince your father.”
Hearing this, Mabel Fox’s mood instantly turned gloomy. With Ulric Swanson playing spaghetti, she believed that Russell Fox would not dare to disobey Ulric Swanson. “Thank you, Ulric…”
She knew that she still had some weight in Ulric Swanson’s heart.
However, perhaps it was because of her girlish feelings that she kept suspecting him for no reason.
She could not do this again in the future. She had to believe that Ulric Swanson loved her too.
Chapter 1249
Mabel Fox felt sweet inside.
She wiped away the remaining tears on her face and said to Ulric Swanson on the other end of the phone, “Then I’ll arrange room Fox for you to see spaghetti in the next two days?”
“There’s no hurry.” Ulric Swanson said calmly, “Mabel, the most important thing to you now is not these family matters, but your career. Don’t forget that in two days, Professor Ander Morgan will be evaluating you. Speaking of which, have you not been revising properly these few days?”
“-“
Mabel Fox fell into silence guiltily.
Over the past few days, in order to make Mrs. Yang’s gown, she had indeed neglected Professor Ander Morgan’s matters. Fox did not choose Fox to study.
When Ulric Swanson saw that Mabel Fox was silent, he had a rough idea of the situation.
He said earnestly, “Mabel, you have to prioritize things. You know our situation. If you can’t enter Professor Ander Morgan’s laboratory, my father might stop us from being together. To him, marrying Melody Fox is already sacrificing a son. If he marries the Fox family’s daughter, he will definitely not agree.”
“So, even if it’s for the sake of our relationship and your future, you have to focus on the assessment and not on those trivial matters. Do you understand?”
“Your mother is in heaven, I think, and would prefer you to do these meaningful things.”
“When you become stronger, will you still be afraid that your mother won’t be able to enter the Fox family family tree?”
“I’m afraid that at Fox days, you, who are powerful enough, won’t care about these useless things.”
After Ulric Swanson finished speaking, Mabel Fox was greatly encouraged.
Ulric Swanson was right.
The most important thing now was for her to become strong and outstanding enough to compete with Melody
Fox and spaghetti.
Instead, when something happened, she could only look for Ulric Swanson to cry and beg for help.
Only he was the most reliable.
Only when she was strong would the Swanson family people acknowledge her. No one would think that she was just a pretty but useless vase.
Indeed, she could not be held back by these small matters.
When she married the Swanson family, even if her mother could not enter the family tree, she thought that her mother would definitely be very happy in heaven.
If that day really came, she would disdain to enter the genealogy of the Fox family.
Mabel Fox tons of Fox felt enlightened.
She grabbed her phone tightly and said to Ulric Swanson, “l understand what you mean. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely study hard for the next three days! I’ll do my best to enter Professor Ander Morgan’s laboratory!”
“Yes. I’m glad you’re awake. I’ll wait for your good news.” “Good!”
Ulric Swanson hung up the phone and took out a cigarette from the cigarette box.
Daniel Townsend saw this and immediately walked
forward to light a fire for Ulric Swanson.
Ulric Swanson took a puff and exhaled a puff of smoke.
Smoke curled around half of his face.
“Is Ander Morgan’s assessment list out yet?”
“I haven’t checked…”
Ulric Swanson looked up. The sharpness in his eyes made Daniel Townsend break out in a cold sweat.
He quickly said, “I’ll go and investigate now!”
Ulric Swanson raised his eyebrows and looked away.
When Daniel Townsend was about to leave, Ulric Swanson spoke again, “On the list… the few people who pose the greatest threat to Mabel Fox, find Jennie Taylor and get rid of them before the assessment begins. Regardless of whether they are dead or alive, I just want them to be unable to participate in the assessment.”
Daniel Townsend immediately replied, “Yes.”
“Yes, let Jennie Taylor do it personally. Do it cleanly and don’t let anyone find anything.”
“Yes!”
Daniel Townsend bowed and left respectfully.
However, the moment the door closed, the respect on his face was replaced by unhappiness.
Jennie Taylor!
‘It’s that damned Jennie Taylor again!’
This kind of work was clearly done by him in the past. In
the past, Young Master was also very assured to let him do it.
However, this time, Jennie Taylor had to take action personally.
‘What does that tell us?’
This meant that in the second young master’s heart, Jennie Taylor was the number one reliable subordinate.
The sense of crisis in Daniel Townsend’s heart almost reached its peak at this moment.
He did not immediately check the name list. Instead, he found the subordinate who had reminded him yesterday to leave a way out for himself.
He told his subordinate about the matter and asked, “Do you think Second Young Master doesn’t care about me?”
“This… I can’t tell anything from this alone. However, I’ll say it again. You really have to find a way out for yourself.”
Daniel Townsend was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he seemed to have made a huge decision.
“I got it!”
He patted his subordinate’s shoulder heavily and said, “I’ll remember you. In the future, when I, Daniel Townsend, have a bite to eat, I definitely won’t let you starve!”
“Thank you, Daniel, thank you, Daniel!”
Daniel Townsend waved his hand and got up to check the name list.
He already knew where his escape route was. Everyone was selfish. He had to think for himself.
On the other side.
After Mabel Fox went upstairs, Russell Fox confirmed with Melody Fox again, “Is that really the only condition?” Melody Fox asked in amusement, “What? Do you want to add another condition? That’s fine too. Complete the legal procedures for the company’s shares as soon as possible and give me the share that I deserve as soon as possible.” With the help of Maria Fox, she obtained the Justalion Group 4% of shares.
However, Russell Fox had been procrastinating and had yet to complete the share transfer agreement.
Russell Fox’s words reminded her of this matter.
Melody Fox extended three fingers and said, “Three days. If the equity transfer agreement is not completed within three days, don’t even think about getting the gown. What Fox? I’ll hand the gown to Mrs. Yang.”
Russell Fox’s face darkened. He even wanted to bite off his tongue.
If he had known this would happen, why would he have asked?
Damn it!
Russell Fox clenched his fists and said, “The Yang family only agreed to lower the price by one thousand dollars yuan. They exchanged 4% of the shares for one thousand dollars yuan. Am I crazy?”
Melody Fox sneered. “Heh, you really don’t plan to give me my shares.”
Russell Fox lowered his head. It was unknown if it was because of embarrassment or guilt.
Melody Fox raised his chin and said, “Of course, you can choose not to agree to this condition. However, you can forget about cooperating with the Yang family. Of course, it’s not just the Yang family. Every time you cooperate with another family, I will appear before them… until I get my shares.”
“Bastard!” Russell Fox slammed the table. “Don’t go too far! I’m your biological father! How can you threaten your biological father like this?!”
“Father? Ha!”
Melody Fox was amused.
“Fox, shouldn’t you visit the neurology department? Have you forgotten that we’ve already broken off our father-daughter relationship?”
Russell Fox’s expression changed again and again. He suddenly rushed towards Melody Fox like a madman. “I’ll beat you to death, you unfilial daughter!”
Chapter 1250
Russell Fox got angrier the more he thought about it.
He couldn’t stand the thought of being threatened by his own daughter.
He had lost his mind and pounced on Melody Fox without caring about anything else. He swore to teach her a lesson!
Even if he hit his own daughter, outsiders could not say anything!
Russell Fox came aggressively. Melody Fox did not expect this person to be so crazy.
She dodged Russell Fox’s punch and saw that Seventeen was about to attack Russell Fox. She immediately thought of something and stopped Seventeen with her eyes.
He grabbed one of Russell Fox’s arms and slapped him hard on the face.
Slap! A crisp sound rang out.
Not only was there a palm print on Russell Fox’s face but there were also two bloody marks.
It was scratched by Melody Fox’s nails.
“Hiss…-“
Russell Fox gasped in pain, and the expression on his face became even crazier.
“How dare you hit your father?!”
“So what if I hit you? I slapped you on behalf of my mother! You cheated on Yolanda Fox when she was pregnant. Not long after my mother died, you married Yolanda Fox, the mistress. Fox, aren’t you afraid? Aren’t you afraid that Mom will come and take revenge on you?”
Russell Fox felt a chill down his spine and stuttered.
“You, you, don’t talk nonsense… I only got together with you at the end of your mother.”
Melody Fox was amused.
“Do you believe that?”
“You…”
Russell Fox choked.
However, as a man and a father, he would never allow his authority to be easily challenged.
“If I had known that Wilona would give birth to a jinx like you, I should have let her abort the fetus back then! Without you, Wilona wouldn’t have died. It was you, the jinx, who killed your mother on the production table! You’re the murderer who killed your mother!”
Melody Fox narrowed his eyes dangerously. The muscles on his entire face were tense. His gaze was as if he was looking at a person who was about to die.
Outside spaghetti, the weather was calm, but inside the house, there was a feeling that a storm was coming.
The air conditioner was emitting hot air, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to have dropped to a freezing point along with the air conditioner.
Russell Fox subconsciously felt as if he was facing a great enemy.
However, it was strange. Melody Fox was clearly his biological daughter, and she was only in her early twenties. No matter which side was from, she should not make people feel that she was dangerous.
However, he felt like he was suffocating.
Russell Fox subconsciously took two steps back.
“I, I…” He opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say to ease the atmosphere.
Speaking of which, it was funny. He had never thought that his daughter, who had been abandoned by him in the countryside one day, would have a higher status than him now. He did not dare to anger her easily.
If he had known earlier…
If he had known this would happen, he would have killed her the moment Melody Fox was born!
In any case, one of them would die, and two of them would die. To him, there was no difference.
But it was too late now.
The most important thing now was not to completely fall out with Melody Fox. After all, Melody Fox had Ken Swanson backing him up.
“I was just-“
Just as Russell Fox was about to say something to make up for it, Fox, who had just been full of spaghetti, suddenly chuckled.
However, although she was smiling, the last bit of warmth in her eyes had completely disappeared.
Melody Fox raised his hand to interrupt Russell Fox and said, “Russell Fox, you should be glad that I went to see Grandma before I saw you.”
If Maria Fox had not begged her to spare Russell Fox’s life, based on what Russell Fox had said just now, she would not have let him live so easily.
“What do you mean by that?”
Melody Fox could not be bothered to explain to Russell Fox. He said coldly, “You can choose not to agree to my two conditions, but think about the consequences yourself.”
With that, Melody Fox turned around and walked out. He did not miss this place at all.
“You… Stop right there! Wait!”
Russell Fox hurriedly tried to catch up, but he was stopped by Seventeen.
“Get out of the way! She’s my daughter!”
However, Seventeen did not seem to understand Russell Fox’s words at all. He immediately took out the dagger at his waist.
He didn’t say anything, but he seemed to have said everything.
The difference between Seventeen and Spencer was that he liked to use actions to represent words.
Seeing this, Russell Fox was instantly frightened.
He knew that Seventeen was from Ken Swanson. Ken Swanson was the same as Ken Swanson. They were all ruthless people.
He swallowed hard and did not dare to look into Seventeen’s eyes. He turned around and returned to the living room. Only then did Seventeen put away the dagger at his waist and quickly caught up to Melody Fox.
It was almost half past eleven. Melody Fox’s footsteps were very fast, and he arrived at Le Qing’s house in less than two minutes.
When the servant saw her, she walked forward to welcome her.
“It’s Miss Fox, right?”
Melody Fox frowned slightly.
Logically speaking, this servant should call her Granny Mr. Swanson.
A servant like her would do whatever her master said. It was impossible for her not to even know how to address her.
The only explanation was that Le Qing did not approve of her identity as Granny Mr. Swanson.
However, this was nothing new.
Melody Fox said indifferently, “Yes.”
“Please come in!” The servant quickly gestured for her to enter.
Le Qing happened to walk down the spiral staircase. When she saw that she was alone, she asked, “Melody, you’re here? Where’s Margaret?”
“Grandma was delayed by something and asked me to come over first. Please don’t blame me.”
“No, no, why would I blame Margaret? Oh right, my mother is still cooking in the kitchen. When she’s done, I’ll get my mother to come out and greet you. You won’t mind, right?” Melody Foxspaghetti remained unchanged. “No.”
However, she knew in her heart that if it was Margaret Swanson, Mrs. Le would still come out to greet her even if the thing in the pot was about to burn.
He could tell at a glance if she was a guest or not.
However, Melody Fox had never cared about these things, so he did not show any dissatisfaction. He sat quietly by coffee and drank coffee.
However, Le Qing leaned against her affectionately and sat down. She asked as if she was very familiar with her, ” Melody, how did you meet Brother Ken? How did you get together? I’m really curious. How did someone with Brother Ken’s personality fall in love with someone?”
“Well… It’s a long story.” Melody Fox tried to smooth things over.
Le Qing, on the other hand, said, “Then let’s keep it short! It’s rumored that the two of you got together in the beginning because you cured Margaret’s illness, so Brother Ken repaid you with a marriage contract and registered your marriage with you?”
Melody Fox slowly took a sip of coffee.
“It’s just a rumor. Miss Le, it’s better not to believe it.”
“So how exactly did you two end up together?”
Le Qing asked this question out of curiosity. After all, she had a crush on Ken Swanson.
Secondly, it was to help Mabel Fox obtain some useful information.
Melody Fox was not stupid. Naturally, he knew what Le Qing was up to by asking this question.
She just did not want Le Qing to be satisfied. “Me and him…”
Chapter 1251
Melody Fox dragged out the word, causing Le Qing to want to lean over and listen.
She sneered in her heart. She still looked serious on the surface.
She paused and piqued Le Qing’s curiosity before speaking again.
“I fell in love with him at first sight.”
“Wh-what?” The corners of Le Qing’s mouth twitched. She could not control the muscles on her face.
Melody Fox’s eyes were smiling as she looked deeply at Le Qing and said, “You didn’t hear wrongly. It was Ken Swanson who fell in love with me at first sight, so he kept pestering me. In the end, I couldn’t take it anymore, so I agreed to give it a try with him. In the end, I tried until now.” Le Qing’s lips twitched again.
Melody Fox’s words were like a pile of feces being stuffed into her mouth, making her extremely disgusted!
With Melody Fox’s face, Ken Swanson fell in love with her at first sight?
Dream on!
There must be something she didn’t know. That was why Ken Swanson fell for Melody Fox’s trick.
However, she still could not find out what this secret was.
However, Le Qing quickly realized that she had lost her composure. She forced a smile and said, “I’m really envious of you…”
However, Melody Fox changed his words and said with a smile, “I was just joking. You actually believed me?”
Le Qing choked. She did not know what to say and could only smile stiffly.
Melody Fox also laughed.
“There’s really nothing much to say between him and me.
We just got together naturally. Perhaps our fate is predestined. We have to be together.”
Le Qing nodded. She no longer knew which of Melody Fox’s words were true and which were false.
However, after this ordeal, she had completely lost interest in asking around at the beginning.
“I’ll go to the kitchen to see if Mom’s dishes are ready,” Le Qing said as she stood up.
Melody Fox was happy to be free. He nodded repeatedly. Alright. Go ahead. I’ll drink coffee here myself. Don’t worry about me.”
Le Qing nodded and called for the servants to pour Melody Fox coffee. She left quickly.
She finally understood why Mabel Fox couldn’t beat Melody Fox.
With Melody Fox’s scheming and shrewdness, not to mention the naive Mabel Fox, even she felt that it was very difficult to deal with him.
Before this, she had never encountered such a troublesome opponent.
Oh no, there was one. the Murphy family’s Janet Murphy.
However, for some reason, Janet Murphy and Ken Swanson did not seem to be in contact anymore.
As she was thinking, Le Qing had already walked into the kitchen.
Mrs. Le saw her daughter enter and asked in confusion, Why did you come in? Is Margaret Swanson here?” “No.” Le Qing shook her head. “Margaret Swanson will probably take a while. Melody Fox came first.”
Mrs. Le frowned. when she heard the word “Melody Fox”.
“No wonder you hid here. People from families like ours really don’t have much to talk about with those wild girls who grew up in the countryside.”
The disdain in Mrs. Le’s tone was almost overflowing.
Le Qing sighed and said, “But such a wild girl has now become Mrs. Swanson of the Swanson family.”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” Mrs. Le sneered and said, she was lucky to be able to sit in that position. But whether she can sit firmly in that position doesn’t depend on luck but on strength.”
As Mrs. Le spoke, she lowered her voice and whispered into Le Qing’s ear.
When Le Qing heard this, her eyes widened in shock. “Mom… You, you’re not joking, right?”
“Why would I joke about such a thing? Margaret Swanson did indeed want to match you with Ulric Swanson. Compared to Ken Swanson, I think Ulric Swanson is the best choice for a son-in-law. That Ken Swanson… Sigh, I won’t say anymore. Everyone in Silverlake knows what he did. Just wait and see. Margaret Swanson will definitely come with a bunch of gifts later.”
“B-but… Ulric Swanson has a girlfriend. His girlfriend…”
“I know.” Mrs. Le interrupted Le Qing. “Isn’t that girlfriend of his your best friend, Mabel Fox?”
“You know that Mabel Fox and Ulric Swanson are already together, but you still…”
“Silly girl!” Mrs. Le tapped Le Qing’s forehead and said, “In this world, there are no eternal friends. There are only eternal benefits. It’s enough for the Swanson family to marry the Fox family as a daughter to fulfill the promise of the previous marriage. They will definitely not sacrifice another marriage position. I think Ulric Swanson is handsome and gentle. He will definitely treat his wife well in the future. You, stop talking about your best friend. Think about yourself more.”
Le Qing could not help but bite her lower lip. Her gaze wandered to the pot of oil not far away.
People of their level were like a pot of oil.
If you didn’t jump, there would be people jumping in one after another.
If you succeed, you’ll be golden, coated in gold, and multiplied in value.
If he failed, he would be burning himself. He wouldn’t even leave a layer of skin for him.
Her current situation was like a frying pan.
If she accepted her mother’s suggestion, she and Mabel Fox would never be able to return to the past. Both of them would lose a layer of skin, and there would only be one winner. In fact… they might even be losers.
Le Qing calmed herself down. When she thought of Mabel Fox’s innocent and harmless face, she could not steel her heart.
“Mom, don’t say anymore. I won’t snatch a man from my best friend. You don’t have to say such things to me in the future. I only asked Margaret Swanson to come over for dinner today. I don’t have any other intentions.”
Mrs. Layton was furious.
“You, you girl, why are you so smart? Why did you become stupid when it comes to such an important matter? You treat her as your best friend, but does she treat you as her best friend? Let her choose. Do you think she will choose friendship or be the young mistress of the Swanson family?”
Le Qing said with certainty, “I don’t know about others, but if it was Mabel, she would definitely choose me! We grew up together. Nothing can be exchanged.”
“Good! You’re very good! Just anger me to death! You didn’t take such a good opportunity. Do you really want your mother to be angered to death by you?”
Le Qing frowned.
“I’m not angry with you. I just can’t do such a thing.”
Snatching her best friend’s man was something she despised the most.
Even if, even if she was indeed a little tempted by Ulric Swanson, she still could not betray Mabel Fox.
“Can’t do it? What’s there not to do? If a woman wants to live well, other than being born into the right family, she has to marry the right person. Ulric Swanson, he…”
Before he could finish speaking, a servant rushed in to report.
“Madam, Miss, the Swanson family Mrs. Margaret Swanson is here.” “Got it. Hurry up and prepare coffee water!”
“Yes…”
Mrs. Le quickly untied her apron. Before she left, Fox did not forget to warn Le Qing.
“Don’t play with your temper. I can go along with you on other matters, but this matter is not negotiable!”
Chapter 1252
With that, Mrs. Le threw the apron on her. It was an obvious order.
“Go out and receive Margaret Swanson properly. Today is just a casual chat between the parents of both sides. If you don’t want to talk, shut your mouth and sit there laughing.”
Le Qing was shocked.
She had never seen her mother speak so harshly.
It could be seen that her mother really valued this marriage.
But… what if she married Ulric Swanson, Mabel Fox? Le Qing’s emotions were extremely complicated.
She handed the apron to the servant in the scullery almost in a daze and followed Mrs. Le out.
“Aiyo, Mrs. Margaret Swanson. It’s been a long time since we last met. Why are you younger than before?” Mrs. Le went forward to welcome him in an exaggerated manner.
Everyone liked to listen to nice words.
Margaret Swanson was grinning from ear to ear, but he still said, “Look at what you’re saying. Can an octogenarian old lady like me come back to life?”
Mrs. Le took Margaret Swanson from Mrs. Chai.
“I’m not spouting nonsense. It’s true. Your complexion is much better than the last time I saw you. Those who don’t know might think that you’re in your early fifties this year.” “Hahahaha…” Margaret Swanson laughed and called Melody Fox over. “If you say you look good, it’s all thanks to Melody. Melody. Come, say hello.”
When she entered, she saw Melody Fox sitting on the sofa in the living room alone. There was not even a single owner in the house.
It was obvious that he had been left out.
Immediately, Margaret Swanson felt a little uncomfortable with the Le Family.
However, Margaret Swanson was Margaret Swanson after all. Even though she felt uncomfortable, she did not show it on her face. She only called Melody Fox over.
Melody Fox walked over with a smile and greeted Mrs. Le politely, “Hello, Auntie Le.”
Mrs. Le smiled stiffly. “Hello, hello. I was busy in the kitchen just now. I wanted to come out and greet you, but I was afraid that the dishes would be burnt. I’m really sorry…”
Mrs. Le was also a smart person. She could tell why Margaret Swanson had asked Melody Fox to especially greet her and immediately began to explain.
Melody Fox quickly waved his hand. “It’s fine, it’s fine.
Leqing told me that you’re busy. It’s fine. You don’t have to be embarrassed.”
Mrs. Le nodded and smiled, but she did not dare to neglect Melody Fox anymore.
After pouring water for Margaret Swanson, she even personally poured water for Melody Fox.
However, she was puzzled. Why did Margaret Swanson value the Fox family so much?
Could it be that the rumors were true? Margaret Swanson was seriously ill, and it was this abandoned daughter who cured Margaret Swanson?
This could only be the case. Otherwise, she could not think of any other reason why Margaret Swanson would value this abandoned daughter of the Fox family so much.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the servants behind Margaret Swanson carrying bags of gifts. She immediately changed the topic.
“Aiyo, Mrs. Margaret Swanson, you can just come alone. Why did you bring so many things?”
Margaret Swanson smiled and said, “How can you come empty-handed? Didn’t Le Qing bring a bunch of supplements every time she came to the house these two days? Don’t stand on ceremony. I’ll accept it.”
“Then I’ll shamelessly accept it.”
The two parties chatted for a while before Mrs. Le called for the servants to serve the dishes.
“I don’t know if my dishes are to your or Melody’s liking…”
Margaret Swanson nodded and praised, “This dish looks delicious. I didn’t expect you to have such skills. It’s been hard on you today.”
Mrs. Le said with a smile in her eyes, “It’s not hard, it’s not hard. Our families will come and go often in the future.” Margaret Swanson smiled without saying anything.
This made Mrs. Le a little nervous.
What was the meaning of this?
Before long, Mr. Le rushed back.
He apologized to Margaret Swanson as soon as he entered. “I’m really sorry, Margaret Swanson. I originally planned not to go to the company today, but there’s a document that needs my signature at Fox. This round trip has delayed Fox rooms.”
“It’s fine. The dishes are already served. Sit down and eat with us.”
“Sure thing.”
Mr. Le pulled out a chair and ate while taking the opportunity to chat with Margaret Swanson.
“I heard that Master Ting’s leg is almost healed?”
Margaret Swanson grunted and said, “He said that he found a famous doctor, but from what I see, there’s a high chance that he worked hard to slowly train his legs back.”
Mr. Le did not dare to mention the matter of Ulric Swanson’s leg. He was afraid that it would implicate the feud between the Swanson family brothers, so he quickly changed the topic and talked about Le Qing.
He was talking about Le Qing’s achievements in the past few years.
As for Melody Fox, he was just a decoration. Other than Margaret Swanson who would occasionally tease her, the Le family almost never took the initiative to talk to her.
However, Melody Fox was also happy to be free. She sat quietly by the side and ate.
To be honest, Mrs. Le’s culinary skills were not bad.
However, there were a few dishes that were slightly lacking in heat control.
Melody Fox was grading the dishes in his heart. Margaret Swanson stood up and said, “I’ve disturbed you for a long time. You still have a show in the afternoon. I won’t delay your business. That’s all for today. Come to my place for dinner another day.”
The Le Family members hurriedly stood up.
“You don’t have to leave in such a hurry. There are professionals watching the show. We don’t have to go over too early.”
“That’s right, Mrs. Margaret Swanson. Please sit for a while longer.”
Le Qing also said, “Margaret, have a glass of coffee before you leave.”
Margaret Swanson insisted on leaving.
“I also want to sit for a while longer, but I’m old and sleep a lot during the day. Look, it’s my afternoon nap in room Fox.”
As soon as he said this, the Le family could not say anything else. They could only send Margaret Swanson out.
Just as Fox Hou was about to leave, Le Qing suddenly grabbed Melody Fox’s hand.
“Melody, there’s something I don’t know if I can trouble you with…”
Everyone in Room Fox looked over.
Melody Fox maintained a polite smile and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s like this. I just received a call. A model, Lin Fox, ran into some trouble and couldn’t make it. I see that your body proportions are very good. You’re tall and thin, and your temperament matches the temperament of my work. Can you help that model act as Lin Fox this afternoon?”
A dark glint flashed across Melody Fox’s eyes.
After a long afternoon, was the show that Le Qing had been waiting for finally about to begin?
Before Melody Fox could speak, Le Qing continued, “You don’t have to worry about anything else. For this show, the models will wear spaghetti models. As long as you wear spaghetti models, no one will know who you are.”
She lowered her head and said anxiously, “I’m sorry to trouble you, but I couldn’t find anyone who could wear the gown I designed. That was the finale piece… But when I saw your back just now, I suddenly felt that you were the owner of that gown.”
“If you can help me, I can give you that dress.”
“Can I? Melody? Just take it that I owe you a favor.”
Le Qing’s eyes were red, and there was an irresistible look of pity in her eyes.
Chapter 1253
If Melody Fox was a man, he would have melted into Le Qing’s pitiful eyes.
Unfortunately…
She was a woman and knew that Le Qing was pretending. As expected, Margaret Swanson said, “Melody. Since you’re wearing spaghetti, there’s no harm in playing.”
Although Margaret Swanson was slightly dissatisfied with the Le Family, he was still very satisfied with Le Qing. “Thank you, Margaret!” Le Qing clapped her hands happily. She did not care how Melody Fox would reply and said to Melody Fox, “Then I’ll have to trouble you to send a small Fox to the show in advance. I’ll send you the specific Fox rooms. I’ll get the driver to pick you up when it’s Fox.”
Melody Fox sneered in his heart.
However, spaghetti still maintained a polite smile. “Okay.”
Since this was a trap, she would take the initiative to jump in and see what kind of trap it was.
She would deal with whatever came her way. She did not believe that she could not break this trap.
If he could not even deal with Le Qing, how could he deal with Jennie Taylor and Ulric Swanson?
Since Le Qing was so arrogant, she would kill her spirit.
After getting into the car, Margaret Swanson didn’t forget to ask her, “Is it too difficult for you? If you feel that it’s too difficult, I can call and help you reject it. In front of their spaghetti, I can’t directly reject it for you, but there’s nothing to be embarrassed about over the phone.”
Melody Fox hugged Margaret Swanson’s arm and said, “It’s not difficult, Grandma. It’s just a show. It’s not a big deal. Besides, this show is private. There shouldn’t be many people coming. Just treat it as helping her once.”
Margaret Swanson tried to find a hint of difficulty on Melody Fox’s face, but to no avail.
Only then did she feel relieved.
“It’s good that you’re not in a difficult position. How about this? I’ll go with you when it’s Fox. I’ll cheer you on below the stage!”
“You’re going too? Didn’t you say at the dining table that… you don’t like such occasions?”
“I don’t like this kind of event, but since you’re going on stage, I definitely have to come and support you. This is your first time on the runway as a model, right?”
Melody Fox nodded.
When Margaret Swanson heard this, he immediately dialed a number.
“Come to my house. Yes, immediately.”
After hanging up the phone, Melody Fox asked in confusion, “Who did you ask to come over now?”
Margaret Swanson kept him in suspense.
“You’ll see when we get home.”
“Fine.”
It was already past noon in Room Fox, so the car sped all the way back to the manor.
As soon as Melody Fox got out of the car, he saw a bald man in a fancy pink suit standing at the door.
She recognized him at once.
This was a master who was known as a gold medal model instructor. His name was Wu Kangle, and his nickname was Hua Die.
It was said that the students who had been transferred and taught by this person had all become international supermodels.
As someone in the fashion design industry, Melody Fox naturally knew this famous butterfly.
She also knew that Hua Die was now focused on her own clothing brand and had not taken in modeling students for a long time.
It seemed that the call Margaret Swanson made was to Hua Die.
Melody Fox could not help but feel touched.
Although Margaret Swanson’s appreciation of Le Qing and the fact that he agreed to Le Qing’s appointment on her behalf made her feel a little uncomfortable,
However, no one was perfect. She was already very grateful that Margaret Swanson could do this for her.
Over there.
The butterfly took the initiative to welcome him.
“Margaret Swanson, how are you feeling after coming in?”
“Good, very good. Thanks to me, my granddaughter-in-law, I can go up to the fifth floor without panting.”
“That’s good. I was very worried about you a few days ago, but because you refused to visit me, I couldn’t come over to take a look. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. You must take care of yourself. I was still thinking of taking out a portion of the money to support you in your old age when my brand grows.”
“Hahaha, I’m already very satisfied that you have this intention.”
From their conversation, Melody Fox learned that Hua Die did not come from a good family. It was Margaret Swanson who sponsored him to go to university. Hua Die had the chance to become the Hua Die today.
No wonder Hua Die, who had not left the mountain for a long time, was called over by Margaret Swanson.
“Come, let me introduce you.”
Margaret Swanson didn’t forget Melody Fox. He pulled her over and introduced her to Hua Die. “She’s Melody, my granddaughter-in-law. I asked you to come over today because I wanted you to guide her. She has a show this afternoon, but she has never been on stage before. I hope you can teach her some basic modeling knowledge.”
“Wh-what?” Hua Die looked extremely surprised.
With this face, going on the runway? What kind of joke was this?
But when Hua Die’s gaze moved down, her expression changed again.
From amusement to surprise, from surprise to surprise, and finally to a look of pity.
Obviously, it was a pity that such a good figure was matched with such a face.
Melody Fox accepted the butterfly’s scrutiny very calmly.
The fact that the other party was scrutinizing her so seriously made her feel more comfortable than those who secretly looked at her and mocked her in private.
Margaret Swanson was a little unhappy.
“Hua Die, don’t judge people by their appearance. My granddaughter-in-law is very outstanding. It’s all thanks to her superb medical skills that my illness can be cured.”
When Hua Die heard this, she immediately nodded. “It’s, it’s my fault.”
He had no objections to whether she was outstanding or not.
Those who were not outstanding would not be able to cross the threshold of the Swanson family.
However, modeling was not about excellence. It was purely a visual appreciation.
Although there were also precedents of vitiligo patients becoming international supermodels, Melody Fox’s face was even more visually impactful than vitiligo.
To put it bluntly, it was terrifyingly ugly.
How could she be a model?
However, when she heard Margaret Swanson say that her illness was cured by Melody Fox, Hua Die reluctantly agreed. “Alright, I can teach her. But let me say this first. If I’m teaching her as a teacher today, I’ll be very strict. I won’t allow the students I teach to go out and not even learn the basics.”
Melody Fox nodded and said in a clear voice, “I like strict teachers.”
“You’re gonna regret that.”
The atmosphere suddenly became serious.
Margaret Swanson tried to smooth things over. “It’s just a trip to a friend’s runway. It’s considered a trip. Hua Die, you don’t have to be especially strict. It’s enough.”
Her heart still ached for Melody Fox. She couldn’t bear to see the girl suffer.
“It’s okay, Grandma. Like I said, I like strict teachers.”
Fox and Melody Fox didn’t even blink as they spoke, as if they were looking forward to the next lesson.
Chapter 1254
Hua Die sneered in her heart.
She did not know why Margaret Swanson valued this granddaughter
-in-law so much. Not only was she not good-looking, but she was also very arrogant.
Putting aside the modeling industry, he was actually not an appearance association.
But even disregarding her appearance, Hua Die did not have a good impression of Melody Fox.
It was probably because her life had been too smooth and she had never experienced the torture of society that she dared to say something like “I like strict teachers”.
Unlike him, who was someone who had lived through hardships and could endure hardships that ordinary people could not.
In that case, in that case, he would educate her on behalf of society.
He wanted her to know what she could say and what she could not say.
Melody Fox did not know what Hua Die was thinking, but she was telling the truth.
Her masters were all very strict teachers without exception.
If not for that, she would not have been able to learn such exquisite skills.
Therefore, to her, only a strict teacher could produce a brilliant disciple. She had only said those words subconsciously.
“Grandma, it’s already room Fox for your lunch break. Don’t worry about me.. Go and rest quickly. You’ll have a
headache again if you don’t sleep enough later.”
Margaret Swanson nodded.
“Alright, then I won’t delay your time. I’ll go take a nap first and accompany you to the show when it’s Fox.”
Melody Fox nodded. After watching Margaret Swanson leave, he made a “please” gesture to the butterfly.
“Teacher Hua, please. There’s an empty space in the backyard. We can teach there.”
Hua Die raised her chin arrogantly. “Then let’s go!”
On the way, Melody Fox received a message from Le Qing. “Four o’clock in the afternoon. See you there.”
Attached picture: Smile emoji.
She didn’t know if it was a psychological hint, but she felt that this smiling emoji package looked rather scary.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the empty space in the backyard.
This was a flat area paved with marble. There were various expensive orchids on both sides.
Flower Butterfly pointed to the orchids. “These flowers, we’ Il assume they’re an audience. But before you officially start teaching yourself how to walk, you need to practice your basics. Stand still.”
When Melody Fox heard this, he stood upright.
The butterfly took a book from somewhere and placed it on Melody Fox’s head.
“Don’t let the book fall. Eyes straight ahead.”
As Hua Die spoke, she slowly walked around Melody Fox, wanting to correct her standing posture.
However, when she turned to the second round, Butterfly still could not find anything wrong with Melody Fox’s standing posture.
Melody Fox raised his head and puffed out his chest. He looked straight ahead. He did not hunch his back nor did he have a chest. He exuded confidence and generosity. He simply stood like a professional model, but he also looked like a proud and elegant white swan.
Hua Die couldn’t help but ask, “Have you learned how to dance before?”
“No.”
“Then how…”
Why was she standing so elegantly and correctly?
However, he did not say the second half of the sentence. He felt that Melody Fox would be smug because of this. There was nothing to correct about his standing posture, but Butterfly still made Melody Fox stand with his book on his head.
He didn’t plan to let her stand there for so long. He just wanted to wait for Melody Fox to stop.
Unexpectedly, Melody Fox did not say a word and just stood there motionlessly.
If not for the fact that his eyes were blinking, he would have thought that it was a statue.
It was undeniable that Melody Fox was more durable than he had imagined.
In the end, Hua Die couldn’t wait any longer and said, “You can take the book down now.”
Only then did Melody Fox slowly take down the book above his head.
Although she had never learned to dance, she had
practiced martial arts with a master since she was young. Not to mention standing with a book on her head, she had been doing the horse stance since she was six years old.
If Hua Die knew what Melody Fox was thinking, she would probably vomit blood.
The rest of the lessons were all basic. Hua Die tried her best to make Melody Fox complain about being tired, but no matter how hard she tried, Melody Fox did not even sigh from the beginning to the end.
When she looked at Melody Fox’s Fox, the butterfly’s gaze changed slightly.
After a few hours of testing, Hua Die thought that she could finally find Melody Fox’s mistakes.
In the end, Melody Fox walked from one end to the other. Not only did he not miss a single point in his posture, rhythm, and footwork, but he also walked out of his aura and style.
Janet Murphy’s home clothes made her look like an international brand.
Hua Die could not help but be stunned.
Without a doubt, this was the most hardworking and talented student he had ever trained.
The intensity of the training this afternoon was not something that ordinary people could accept, but Melody Fox easily survived it.
It was not difficult for him to survive, but it was very strange for him to survive so easily.
He couldn’t help but wonder how good it would be if this
face was pure white and flawless without those terrifying red spots.
“Teacher Hua? Teacher?”
Melody Fox’s shout brought Hua Die back to her senses. “W… what’s wrong?”
“I’m done. Do you think there are any other areas that need to be adjusted?”
Hua Die shook her head speechlessly. “No, no more.”
It was really impossible to be picky.
The only thing she could be picky about was her face.
However, even with high-tech technology, it was impossible to complete a face in an afternoon. Moreover, there were less than ten minutes left before they set off.
“As long as you relax and don’t be nervous, you will be able to barely pass the passing line so that the audience won’t be able to pick out any mistakes,” Hua Die said very implicitly, afraid that Melody Fox would be too arrogant.
In the modeling industry, one could not feel inferior or be too conceited. Otherwise, something would go wrong sooner or later.
“I understand.” Melody Fox nodded. He could not help but feel disappointed.
This afternoon, she had put in 200% of her effort, but she had only managed to pass.
Perhaps she didn’t have the talent to be a model.
However, it was already good enough that the audience could not find any mistakes.
As long as she did not embarrass herself, she would not lose to Le Qing today.
“Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I’ve learned a lot today,” Melody Fox thanked him sincerely.
Hua Die’s sincerity towards Melody Fox made her feel a little guilty.
The intensity in the afternoon was actually not suitable for a newbie like Melody Fox. Even the old people could not withstand it.
He trained her with such intensity because he wanted to take revenge and make Melody Fox give in.
Now that he saw Melody Fox being so polite and respectful to him, he could not help but scratch his head awkwardly. “You’re welcome. I’m also doing Margaret Swanson a favor. Um… if you don’t mind, I can accompany you to the show later. The runway of the show might not be the same as here. It’s a flat and straight road. If the runway is special, I can give you some guidance on the spot.”
Melody Fox immediately nodded. “Of course. Thank you, Teacher Hua!”
“There’s no need…”
He would take it as repayment for the afternoon’s debt.
Margaret Swanson was right. One really could not judge a person by their face.
He finally understood why Margaret Swanson valued this girl so much.
Chapter 1255
No one could hate a girl who was down-to-earth, hardworking, and motivated without a word of complaint.
Hua Die had to admit that she had misjudged this time.
Soon, Melody Fox and Margaret Swanson along with a butterfly, went to the show.
In Le Qing’s words, this was just a very ordinary, private show. However, when they arrived at Melody Fox, they saw that there were many media outlets and relevant people in the industry.
What surprised Melody Fox even more was that Russell Fox and Mabel Fox were also present.
Of course, Melody Fox hadn’t seen Russell Fox and Mabel Fox yet. He only saw the seating plate with their names on it.
Melody Fox only noticed it at a glance because the seating plate was placed in the very front row.
Melody Fox narrowed his eyes.
The two of them were ranked in the top spaghetti. Even the chairman of some large companies was ranked behind them…
Was this to let these two people see him embarrass himself more clearly?
Le Qing was really meticulous.
A few seconds after the two of them arrived, Mrs. Le personally came to welcome them.
“Margaret Swanson, Melody, you’re here. Come in quickly. The wind is strong outside. It’s really unfortunate today. It’s probably going to rain later.”
Melody Fox greeted Mrs. Le smoothly, “Auntie Le.”
Mrs. Le nodded and said, “I’ll take care of Mrs. Margaret Swanson. Go find Le Qing. She’s waiting for you backstage. Just walk to the right backstage.”
“Will do.”
Melody Fox was about to leave when Margaret Swanson suddenly said, “Wait.”
Melody Fox stopped in his tracks in confusion. He heard Margaret Swanson ask Mrs. Le, “Didn’t you say that it was just a small show? Why are there so many reporters outside spaghetti? There are so many reporters… How is Melody going to go on stage?”
She thought that Fox was just a small party between Leqing’s friends, so she agreed to help Melody Fox and asked Melody Fox to act as a model.
If she had known that so many reporters would come, she would have rejected them on behalf of Melody Fox, even if it was in front of the Le couple, spaghetti.
There were so many reporters. If anything went wrong, it might make the headlines.
She did not want Melody Fox to take such a huge risk.
Under Margaret Swanson’s cold gaze, Mrs. Le said innocently, “We don’t know why so many reporters are here either. Le Qing clearly only invited three or four media outlets, but such a large group came as soon as they arrived. However, since they’re already here, we can’t chase them out. Don’t you think so?”
Flower Butterfly spoke up at Fox. “Such a huge lineup is comparable to the biggest fashion show Silverlake has ever held. This is almost the entire Silverlake media outlet.” Although the butterfly did not know the exact situation, however, he was in this industry and had seen many
demons and ghosts. If he used his brain to think, he could guess that someone wanted Melody Fox to make a fool of himself on such an occasion.
However, how could the students he taught make a fool of themselves?
He said to Mrs. Le mockingly, “There are so many media outlets here. Even professional models would be a little nervous, let alone Miss Fox, right?”
Coincidentally, Le Qing arrived at this moment.
When she heard Margaret Swanson’s question, she apologized profusely. “I’m sorry, Margaret. It’s all my fault. Please blame me!”
“Le Qing, what’s going on? Why are there so many reporters? Didn’t you only invite three or four media outlets?” Mrs. Le questioned with a serious expression.
In that case, Margaret Swanson had nothing to say.
Le Qing said guiltily, “A friend of mine called the media for me. She also did it out of kindness. She thought that I had just returned to the country and wanted to build momentum for me. I didn’t know about this at all. If I had known, I would definitely have stopped her…”
Le Qing bowed solemnly to Melody Fox as she spoke.
“I’m really sorry! Melody, you must be very nervous now, right? If it really doesn’t work out, I might as well cancel this show.”
Le Qing looked like she had given up on herself.
Mrs. Le frowned tightly.
“How can you cancel it? All the invitations have been sent out… Besides, you’ve spent a lot of effort on this show. Are you going to let all your efforts go to waste? The first show when you return to the country is very important to you, do you know that?”
Melody Fox silently watched the mother and daughter perform.
The more Mrs. Le spoke, the more she couldn’t say that she wasn’t going on stage.
However, the two of them had put on a show for nothing.
The moment Le Qing set a trap for her, she jumped into it cooperatively.
After all, if he did not jump in, there would be another trap. Why not directly break Le Qing’s trap so that she could not trip him up again?
She had already guessed how Le Qing was going to deal with her.
It was nothing more than… the same routine. There was nothing new about it.
However, if he were in his previous life, he would have made a fool of himself.
Unfortunately, she was someone who had been reborn. She had seen this kind of scene too many times in her previous life and was already numb to it.
A person who was a little numb to life and death was just a show. What was so special about it?
The mother and daughter were still putting on a show.
“But I really don’t want to make things difficult for Melody. Let’s cancel it…”
“Are there no other models?”
“I’ve looked for other models, but that gown is special. It has a very thin waist. Among the people I know, only Sister Melody can wear it…”
Melody Fox was still wondering how far they could go when Margaret Swanson broke the deadlock and asked Melody Fox.
“Melody, can you do it?”
“|ā”
In order not to alert the enemy, Melody Fox put on a reluctant look and nodded as if he had made up his mind. “T Il try my best. However, if anything goes wrong at Fox, please forgive me. After all, I don’t know anything.”
Le Qing revealed a very happy expression and reached out to hug Melody Fox. She said with tears in her eyes, “Thank you, Melody. You’ve really helped me a lot! If you’re willing to help, this show will definitely be very successful!”
Melody Fox’s smile had always been steady. When he heard this, his smile had an unfathomable deeper meaning. She reached out and hugged Le Qing back. Her voice was soft but steady as she said, “Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to make your show complete.”
Le Qing’s back stiffened for a moment.
She felt that Melody Fox’s words seemed to have a deeper meaning, but no matter how much she thought about it,
she could not find any other meaning.
It seemed like he really just hoped that her fashion show would be completed successfully.
Was she thinking too much?
Le Qing shook off those messy thoughts and said gratefully to Melody Fox, “Then there’s no time to lose. Let’s familiarize ourselves with the runway route first, then we have to prepare to change our clothes.”
