Chapter 1286
Seeing the two of them go upstairs, Melody Fox was about to cook lunch himself when he was stopped by Maria Fox. “You’re the main character today. Don’t work so hard.”
As Maria Fox spoke, he sighed and said, “I really didn’t expect what happened that day. That child Le Qing… I originally thought that she was quite good, but I didn’t expect her to have such a heart!”
Other than being angry, Maria Fox was more disappointed and afraid.
If Melody Fox did not recover his appearance, not only would Melody Fox be attacked by those netizens, but the Swanson Group would also suffer a huge loss.
How vicious!
It would have been fine if it was someone else, but the other party was Le Qing. She was very good-looking and even wanted to make her granddaughter-in-law.
Melody Fox looked at Margaret Swanson’s ugly expression and could not help but say, “Grandma, everyone makes mistakes. I think she was also impulsive. I believe she’s already reflecting on herself now.”
Margaret Swanson shook his head. “I can’t forgive such
behavior. No matter who she did it for, I can’t forgive her for hurting her family.”
Melody Fox froze.
Wasn’t what she wanted to do harming the Swanson family’s people?
After all, Ulric Swanson was also Margaret Swanson’s biological grandson.
Melody Fox didn’t know what to say.
After lunch, Ulric Swanson returned.
He seemed to be in a very good state of mind. With every
step he took, it was almost impossible to tell that his leg had been injured.
“Grandma, Dad’s back?”
Margaret Swanson nodded with a smile.
“That’s right. I’m in the study drawing up a list of people to attend the cocktail party tonight with your brother.”
“List?”
“Yes, tonight, we plan to officially introduce your sister-in-law to everyone.”
Ulric Swanson raised his eyelids. A complicated emotion flashed across his eyes, but it only lasted for a moment before returning to normal.
“I see. No wonder Dad came back early from his business trip. Congratulations, sister-in-law.” He looked at Melody Fox with a smile, as if he was a gentle person from the bottom of his heart.
In front of Margaret Swanson, Melody Fox could only respond.
“Thank you.”
Ulric Swanson curled his lips and looked at Melody Fox from top to bottom like a family member. He asked considerately, “Sister-in-law’s evening gown is ready? Why don’t I choose one for you?”
Before Melody Fox could speak, Ken Swanson’s voice came from the stairs.
“You don’t have to worry about my wife. I’ll personally choose a gown that suits her.”
Ulric Swanson’s back stiffened slightly as he looked at Ken Swanson with a smile.
“I’m just afraid that you’ll be busy, so I want to help you share some of the burden.”
“There’s no need. I see that you’re quite busy.”
As they looked at each other, there seemed to be a war without smoke.
Melody Fox did not want Margaret Swanson to worry. He stood between the two of them and said, “Lunch is ready. Ken Swanson, call Dad down to eat.”
“Yeah.”
“Young Master, I’ll go.” The butler lowered his head and quickly went upstairs.
After this interruption, the two of them finally stopped looking at each other.
Soon, the family sat together for lunch.
Ramon Swanson said, “Melody, you don’t have to be nervous at night. If you’re afraid of saying something wrong, just introduce yourself. I’ll do the rest.”
Melody Fox was indeed not good at such occasions. He nodded and said, “Thank you, Dad.”
After that, no one spoke again.
Lunch was not as harmonious as Professor Ander Morgan’
It didn’t look like a meal. It looked more like a meeting between leaders.
Melody Fox could sense that if Maria Fox had not been there, the atmosphere would have been even more stagnant.
After a long lunch, Melody Fox rushed upstairs to his room.
Seeing that Ken Swanson had followed her in, she could not help but ask, “Is this the atmosphere when your family gathers for a meal?”
Ken Swanson had an expression that said, “What else could it be?” Melody Fox knew that this was indeed the atmosphere they had always been in.
“Alright, I’m fine.” Melody Fox shrugged and sat back down at the table.
Ken Swanson walked forward and massaged Melody Fox’s shoulders.
“Can’t you find someone else to do it for you? Why do you really have to do it yourself?”
Melody Fox felt helpless.
“I want to find someone to replace me, but the premise is that this person has to know French embroidery.”
“Alright… pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Ken Swanson paused for a moment and said, “What about your own gown?”
“Didn’t you say you’d pick it for me?”
“I’m afraid I don’t pick what you like.”
Melody Fox looked at Ken Swanson. “Then I’ll take this opportunity to test you and see if you understand me.”
Ken Swanson spread his hands. “Am I digging a hole for myself?”
“Yes, it does.”
“Alright, I’ll go pick one for you now. But before that, I have to collect some compensation.”
“What reward?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Melody Fox was picked up by the waist.
She instantly understood what Ken Swanson meant. spaghetti said with red ears, “Stop fooling around. I still have business to attend to.”
“It won’t take long. Be good. I’ll be quick.”
Melody Fox’s face turned even redder.
Hence, Ken Swanson spoke very quickly. It was after the two little Fox.
Melody Fox got up from the bed with a sore body. Naturally, he did not have the strength to make a gown.
However, Ken Swanson was still as energetic as ever. It was completely impossible to tell that he had just stayed up late last night and rushed back to Silverlake.
“Not human.” Melody Fox shook his head and cursed in his heart.
“Are you scolding me?” Ken Swanson seemed to have sensed something and turned to look at her.
“No, how would I dare? Where are you going to change your clothes?”
Ken Swanson raised his eyebrows. “I’m going to help you pick a gown. Let me make it clear first. No matter what kind of gown I choose, you have to wear it.”
“You didn’t deliberately choose a very ugly gown, did you?”
“Trust my taste.”
Melody Fox pouted. “Then go ahead and choose. I’ll lie down for a while more.”
With that, she fell straight onto the pillow to catch up on her sleep.
Ken Swanson laughed and left in high spirits.
After an unknown period of time, Melody Fox was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by Ken Swanson.
“Melody, it’s time to get up.”
Melody Fox rubbed his sleepy eyes.
“What time is it?”
“Four o’clock.”
Melody Fox suddenly got up from the bed.
“Don’t be anxious. The cocktail party starts at six o’clock. Fox rooms are still enough. Come, try on the gown. If there’s no problem, I’ll let the makeup artist in.”
Melody Fox opened the lid of the gift box with a certain high-end logo.
A beautiful gray satin gown of spaghetti came into view.
She picked it up and saw the overall style of the gown more clearly.
It was a high-end floor-length dress with sequins wrapped around the upper body and satin spaghetti on the lower body. The tube top design was elegant and generous, showing off her temperament.
Under the light, the satin spaghetti and sequins of the dress bloomed with a beautiful luster, making the dress look even more high-class.
“I couldn’t tell… You’re quite knowledgeable about girls’ dresses.”
“You’ve already said it. How can I not choose carefully? Try it?”
“Yeah.”
Melody Fox had Ken Swanson turn around and quickly change into this gown.
The gown seemed to be tailor-made for her, but there was a lot of fabric. It didn’t look like summer, but more like autumn. It was very safe to wear because she didn’t have to worry about being naked.
Chapter 1287
Ken Swanson turned around and said with a smile, “The gowns nowadays like to cut corners. It’s so expensive, but there’s so little fabric… But I think the fabric of this gown is alright.”
“…” Fine, she finally knew why Ken Swanson had chosen this dress.
It wasn’t because the dress was beautiful, but because this dress… Other than her neck and the lower half of her arm, there was no place for her to touch it politely.
Fortunately, by some freak combination of circumstances, this dress looked quite good on her.
She could not help but rejoice that Ken Swanson did not choose a big cotton-padded jacket for her and wrapped her entire body.
“Since there’s no problem, shall I call the makeup artist in now?”
“Okay.” Melody Fox nodded and put away the one-third of the gown.
As soon as the gown was put away, the makeup artist and stylist came in.
Both of them had spaghetti holes. They had helped Melody Fox style it before.
However, her appearance had yet to recover, so there was no need for a makeup artist.
When she was Fox years old, she did not like to put on makeup. Firstly, it was because makeup was not very useful. Secondly, as a doctor, applying makeup in that situation would easily cause a deep impact on her skin and leave scars after she recovered.
But it was different now. He no longer had to worry about the skin barrier.
“I’ll leave it to you guys.” Ken Swanson instructed the few people who came in. Then, he said to Melody Fox, “I’ll go and keep an eye on the details of the cocktail party to ensure that nothing happens.”
Melody Fox grunted.
Given the situation tonight, Ulric Swanson probably wouldn’t go crazy and do anything to set them up.
After all, he was currently cooperating with Insterimond’s Kuorang Liu and the Murphy family’s side. He was holding back his ultimate move.
However, it was never wrong to be cautious.
After Ken Swanson left, the makeup artist and stylist visibly relaxed.
The makeup artist took the lead and walked to Melody Foxspaghetti. Looking at her beautiful and impeccable appearance, she lowered her voice and said, “Miss, you’re really beautiful.”
“Thank you.” Melody Fox smiled and thanked him.
The next second, the makeup artist said softly, “He’s not like the previous one. He’s simply…”
Melody Fox was stunned. He heard the makeup artist complain about his previous self.
“No matter how I look at it, that young lady from before doesn’t match Mr. Swanson. When Fox saw her, I felt that they hadn’t been together for long. As expected… Hehe, you’re different. You’re so beautiful. You’re prettier than any female celebrity I’ve put on makeup. You’ll definitely be able to grasp Mr. Swanson’s heart tightly.”
Melody Fox moved his lips, but in the end, he did not explain anything. He only said, “Please hurry up. Room Fox is not much.”
Only then did the makeup artist stop talking and start to put on makeup for her seriously.
After about Fox minutes, the styling and makeup were all done.
Today’s makeup was mainly elegant and dignified. It was the same as the gown Ken Swanson had chosen. It was gentle and generous.
Her almond-shaped eyes were bright and lively, and her facial features were flawless.
Under the enhancement of her makeup, she looked
beautiful and moving. Even the makeup artist gasped when she saw her.
All the amazement converged into one sentence: “Too beautiful…”
Melody Fox subconsciously looked at the mirror.
After regaining her appearance, she had actually looked at herself in the mirror many times.
No woman did not like to be beautiful, and she was no exception.
However, she did not put on makeup after her appearance was restored. With this makeup, her originally bright face seemed to have become radiant. She really looked like a popular female celebrity.
No wonder the two makeup artists who had seen many beauties were stunned.
“How is it? Beauty, is there anything else you’re dissatisfied with? This is my first time putting on makeup for you. I
wonder if you have any preferences for spaghetti in makeup.”
“No.” Melody Fox shook his head. “Let’s leave it at that.”
“Alright! Then we’ll leave. My disciple will follow you to the cocktail party and touch up your makeup with Fox.”
Melody Fox waved his hand. “No need. I can make up for it myself.”
“Well…”
“Do as she says.” Ken Swanson’s voice suddenly broke in. It was unknown what Fox came to the door. His black eyes were fixed on Melody Fox, and there seemed to be no one else in his eyes.
Since Ken Swanson had spoken, they naturally did not dare to say anything else. They quickly took their tools and left.
Ken Swanson walked forward and held her hand. He did not hide his amazement.
“You’re beautiful.”
Melody Fox blushed and was a little embarrassed to look straight into Ken Swanson’s bright eyes.
“Time to go?”
“Yes, it’s all set up. Maria Fox and the old man have already gone over. We’ll go over now.”
“Yeah.”
“By the way,” Ken Swanson said, “the old man added the names Russell Fox and Mabel Fox to the invitation list.”
Melody Fox raised an eyebrow.
“Understandable. Please go ahead.”
Since he wanted to introduce her, she naturally had to have an identity. He couldn’t possibly introduce her as the Fox family’s abandoned daughter, right?
“There’s someone else coming.”
“Who?”
“Zuo Ye.”
Melody Fox lost control of his expression.
“It’s also Mr. Ramon?”
Ken Swanson shook his head. “He came on his own.”
“They said that Oijing intends to develop a subsidiary company in Silverlake to expand Oijing’s business map.”
“Does Ou Jing’s business still need to be expanded? Its territory has already spread all over the world.”
In Halcyon, the Swanson Group might be slightly superior to Ou Jing, but in the entire world, the Swanson Group was not comparable.
“I don’t know the specifics, but…” Ken Swanson paused for a moment and said, “Ou Jing is indeed a little strange. When I went to Insterimond to look for ‘that person’, almost all of them helped me. Not only did they work hard without complaint, they treated me a little too well… I don’t know if it’s because you saved Mr. Ou’s life.”
“I had the same feeling before, and I always felt that… Mr. Ou treats me a little too well. But other than that, I can’t think of anything else.”
“Yes. Anyway, since she came to Silverlake and even took the initiative to come over to see you, I can’t let her come to the cocktail party.”
“Yes, that’s for sure.”
“Let’s go over first.”
On the way, Ken Swanson thought for a moment and reminded her, “It’s indeed beneficial for you to be too close to Ou Jing, but I’m afraid that he’ll think too much when the old man is present. Let’s maintain a distance and try to let Mr. Zuo talk to the old man. Let’s talk less.”
“Yes, I know what you mean.”
Ramon Swanson was too suspicious and valued power too much.
He was clearly not young, but he was still wary of his two sons.
Under such circumstances, if Ken Swanson and she got too close to Ou Jing, Ramon Swanson would definitely be vigilant.
She and Ken Swanson did not care about the Swanson Group, but in the current situation, in order to balance the two sons, if Ken Swanson was guarded against him, he would definitely let Ulric Swanson get something.
This was not a good thing for them.
From the looks of it, Mr. Zuo’s trip here was a little tricky. “Don’t worry too much.” Ken Swanson patted her hand. “I think Mr. Zuo knows his limits. He should know what kind of person the old man is. Taking ten thousand steps back, you are indeed the main character today. It’s understandable if he wants to talk to you a little more.”
Chapter 1288
Melody Fox nodded.
“Then let nature take its course. If your father is really wary of you, we can only blame our bad luck.”
Zuo Ye and Orick were so enthusiastic that they could not turn them away. Otherwise, it would seem like they did not know what was good for them, so they could only take it one step at a time.
The venue of the cocktail party was a villa in the suburbs of Silverlake.
The villa was specially used for receptions and parties. There were all kinds of facilities.
It includes huge lawns and open-air swimming pools. Those who could hold cocktail parties and parties here were all upper-class people who were either rich or noble. Of course, it was worth mentioning that this place belonged to the Swanson Group, which was the Swanson family’s territory.
The long red carpet stretched from the large iron door carved with hollow and complicated patterns to the entrance of the manor villa.
On both sides of the red carpet, the reporters set up their spear cannons”.
As soon as Melody Fox and Ken Swanson got out of the car, they were blinded by the flashing lights.
Melody Fox had thought that tonight’s scene would be very big, but the scene in front of her was really unexpected.
All the media outlets from Halcyon were here, right?
Even though she was Melody Fox, such a huge formation still made her want to retreat.
Just as Melody Fox was feeling uneasy, a large hand held her hand tightly.
She looked sideways and saw Ken Swanson giving her a reassuring look.
This gaze gave Melody Fox a lot of courage.
She took a deep breath and straightened her chest. With a generous smile, spaghetti and Ken Swanson steadily stepped onto the thick red carpet.
The reporters were not sure if the person they were filming was the female lead tonight, Ken Swanson’s undisclosed wife.
It was not until the two of them held hands and walked intimately on the carpet that everyone was convinced. “It’s her! It’s her! Quick, take a photo!”
“She’s so beautiful! Are you sure it’s her? She’s not a newbie in the entertainment industry? Why did I hear that the wife of Mr. Swanson who was secretly married isn’t beautiful…”
“I’m sure! We’re already holding hands. How can I be wrong?!
“Then hurry up and film it! This is explosive news!”
Crack! Crack!
Flashbulbs started flashing one after another.
As the protagonist tonight, she received unprecedented attention.
The sun had set by now, but the reporters’ flashing lights almost lit up the sky.
The red carpet was less than a hundred meters long, but Melody Fox felt like he had walked for a century.
Melody Fox finally heaved a sigh of relief when he finally entered the villa.
Ken Swanson saw a thin layer of sweat on Melody Fox’s forehead. He could not help but smile. “This is the first time I’ve seen you like this. I didn’t expect our usually unmoving Miss Fox to be so nervous that he’s sweating.”
Melody Fox glared at Ken Swanson angrily.
“Who am I doing this for? Isn’t it for you?”
Ken Swanson nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes. It’s all for me. When you go back, I’ll definitely make it up to you.” Melody Fox’s face darkened.
His compensation couldn’t be… compensation in bed, right? Then she would rather not have such compensation!
“Just pretend I didn’t say anything!”
Ken Swanson was about to speak when the butler walked up and said, “Mrs. Swanson, Sr. Margaret Swanson, and all the women are upstairs. Mrs. Margaret Swanson asked me to bring you up.”
“As for Young Master, Sir is meeting guests in the side hall. Please move to the side hall.”
The banquet had yet to officially begin, and the male and female guests were separated.
Those with enough status could be personally received by Ramon Swanson and Maria Fox.
Those who were not qualified would naturally wait in the hall for the cocktail party to begin.
Of course, they would not be neglected. The higher-ups of the Swanson Group would be in charge of receiving them.
To these people, this was already spaghetti stones. No one would be dissatisfied.
This was how Ramon Swanson always held such cocktail parties.
Melody Fox went to the Swanson family for Margaret Swanson’s birthday Fox for the first time in the same way. “Go.” Ken Swanson patted the back of her hand and said, With Grandma around, you don’t have to say anything. Just sit there and treat yourself as an ornament. Even if you don’t speak, no one will dare to bully you.”
Melody Fox nodded and followed the butler upstairs.
“Mrs. Swanson, watch your step,” the butler reminded her respectfully.
Melody Fox grunted.
After experiencing the high heels at the show, she felt like she was walking on flat ground with these six-centimeter high heels.
Right at this moment, a familiar voice came from behind. “Sister!”
Melody Fox stopped in his tracks. Mabel Fox quickly caught up to him.
“I was just wondering if you were here. I didn’t expect to see you when I looked up.” Mabel Fox’s eyes were smiling, but Melody Fox clearly saw the jealousy hidden in her eyes.
Today’s cocktail party was undoubtedly grand. It was enough to prove the Swanson family’s attitude towards Melody Fox.
How could Mabel Fox not be jealous?
However, with her status, she could not go to the second floor.
Therefore, she had no choice but to brace herself and support Melody Fox’s feet.
Melody Fox was not stupid. Of course, he knew that Mabel Fox had noticed her long ago and deliberately wanted to use her to go to the second floor.
After all, staying in the hall was an insult to Mabel Fox.
However, she did not expose Mabel Fox’s motive. She smiled faintly and said, “That’s quite a coincidence.”
“Sister, your heels are so high. Let me help you.”
Melody Fox raised his hand and avoided Mabel Fox’s outstretched hand.
“That won’t be necessary.”
Mabel Fox’s smile was awkward for a moment, but he still forced himself to smile.
“Sister, I really didn’t expect you to look so good after your skin recovered. I really don’t dare to acknowledge you. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier…”
Melody Fox suddenly looked at Mabel Fox.
“What would you do if I told you?”
Mabel Fox paused and forced a smile. “If you had told me earlier, I would have helped you find a good dermatologist earlier.”
Melody Fox gave a half-smile.
If she had let Mabel Fox know earlier, she probably wouldn’t have had the chance to return to Silverlake from the countryside.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the second floor.
Since Mabel Fox was glued to Melody Fox, the butler could not say anything. He pushed open the door to the lounge on the second floor.
As soon as the door was pushed open, everyone’s eyes turned to look at the door.
There was surprise, amazement, jealousy, and all kinds of gazes, but everyone’s expression was one of shock.
Most of them had seen Melody Fox before, so when they saw Melody Fox who had almost been reborn, their eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
Was this still the ugly abandoned girl from the countryside who gave people nightmares?
Melody Fox calmly met everyone’s gaze and walked
towards Margaret Swanson, who was sitting at the head of the table.
“Grandma.”
“Melody, you’re here? Sit.” Margaret Swanson was grinning from ear to ear. “I already looked good enough when I saw you yesterday. Now that you’re dressed like this, you look like a fairy.”
Melody Fox smiled and sat in the seat closest to Maria Fox. It was also the most central position other than Margaret Swanson. She was now the protagonist of the cocktail party. She was no longer a country bumpkin who could be ignored and stepped on by anyone.
Chapter 1289
Melody Fox looked up at the elegant and beautiful female guests sitting on both sides. Everyone nodded and smiled at her ingratiatingly.
-Regardless of whether she was sincere or not, no one dared to disrespect her on Ming spaghetti.
From being ignored by everyone in the past to today, every step she took was extremely difficult.
Therefore, on this day, she was not as excited as she thought. Instead, she was unexpectedly calm.
After Melody Fox sat down, he heard Mabel Fox say weakly, “Maria Fox, I’m Mabel Fox, Melody is my sister. I don’t know if you still remember me…”
Mabel Fox naturally knew that it was impossible for
Margaret Swanson not to remember her.
However, everyone’s attention was on Melody Fox. She did not even know where she was going to sit.
She had no choice but to use these words to attract
Margaret Swanson’s attention.
Unexpectedly, Margaret Swanson revealed a puzzled expression and asked, “How did you get up here?”
Mabel Fox’s face turned red.
With her current status, it was impossible for her to go up to the second floor.
However, if no one pointed it out, no one would care about this.
However, Margaret Swanson’s question almost completely broke the window paper and pressed Mabel Fox’s face to the ground.
Melody Fox did not expect Maria Fox to refuse to give Mabel Foxspaghetti stones.
However, she was not a saint and did not intend to help at all.
Mabel Fox’s face turned from red to green and finally pale.
There were even female guests who laughed out loud. The surrounding air seemed to have become awkward.
Just as Mabel Fox was so embarrassed that he wanted to hide in a hole, Fox, who was considering whether to leave immediately, Margaret Swanson finally spoke.
“Since you’re here, take a seat. Butler, add a chair for her.”
“Yes.” The butler smiled as if nothing as awkward as before had happened. He carried Mabel Fox to the last seat and added a chair for her.
Mabel Fox braced himself and sat down. He no longer knew what kind of expression to show.
However, she knew that the expression on her face must be very ugly.
But how could this be?
A few months ago, she was still the most glamorous and eye-catching person at the cocktail party held by the Swanson family.
In just a few months, everything had changed.
Her mother was dead, and her father’s position was uncertain. As for Melody Fox, she had become the most glorious woman in Silverlake.
Mabel Fox slowly gritted his teeth. The two hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists. His eyes were like icicles as he looked at Melody Fox, who was sitting beside Maria Fox’s deputy.
Melody Fox was smiling. He was generous, appropriate, and elegant, but in Mabel Fox’s eyes, it was so glaring.
She hated it so much!
He hated Melody Fox to the core and wished he could turn him into ashes!
If not for Melody Fox’s appearance, things would not have turned out like this!
It was all Melody Fox’s fault. She was a jinx!
She deserved to die!
Because she used too much strength in her hands, there was a crisp sound. The nail she had pasted at the nail salon broke, and a sharp pain came from her palm.
The noblewoman beside her looked at her.
Mabel Fox quickly pretended that nothing had happened and smiled at the woman.
The woman glanced at Mabel Fox indifferently and said with a faint smile, “We’re both the Fox family’s daughters. It’s really… a world of difference.”
Mabel Fox could not maintain his smile.
Clouds and mud.
Who was the cloud and who was the mud?
Wasn’t this clearly mocking her?
“Oh right!, I almost forgot to formally introduce you all.” Margaret Swanson slapped his thigh and said to everyone with a smile, “This is my granddaughter-in-law, Melody. Many of you should have seen her before, but she had a skin disease previously. Now that she’s cured, many of you might not recognize her.”
The people below spaghetti naturally flattered him.
“I almost couldn’t recognize you. Mrs. Swanson is so beautiful!”
“No, no, no. I recognized it at a glance. Although Mrs. Swanson’s skin wasn’t very good before, I recognized his facial features at a glance.”
“That’s right. Beauty is like that. Even if her skin isn’t good, her beautiful facial features can’t hide it.”
“I’m old. I don’t know anything else, but Mrs. Swanson’s temperament is really amazing. Maria Fox, you’ve picked up a treasure!”
“If you didn’t say it, I would have thought that Mrs. Swanson was some big star. She’s very beautiful! In the future, the child she has with Young Master will definitely be extremely beautiful.”
She tried to please everyone. Melody Fox smiled and did not reply.
On such an occasion, it was better to talk less than to talk more.
However, Margaret Swanson was very happy. He basically accepted everyone’s words one by one.
At that moment someone asked about Ulric Swanson.
“Eldest Young Master has already registered his marriage. I wonder what Fox days it will be to hear good news from
Second Young Master?”
Margaret Swanson’s expression froze slightly. Mabel Fox’s heart was also in his throat.
She did not believe that Maria Fox did not know that she was dating Ulric Swanson.
However, Mabel Fox’s hopes were once again dashed.
Maria Fox said, “Ulric’s leg has just recovered. Let him be single for a few more days! He’s a little younger than Ulric Swanson. There’s no hurry.”
Mabel Fox’s expression was completely frozen on his face.
What young… Ulric Swanson was only a few months younger than Ken Swanson!
Maria Fox directly denied her existence as Ulric Swanson’s girlfriend.
She could feel a dozen mocking gazes on her.
She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She even began to regret following Melody Fox up here.
Everyone quickly treated Mabel Fox as air and congratulated him again.
“Good things happen in pairs. Congratulations, Maria Fox. Congratulations, Second Young Master, on your leg recovery.”
Maria Fox was even happier and continued chatting with everyone.
After about half a minute, the butler came in and reported,” Mrs. Margaret Swanson, Sir said that the cocktail party can begin.”
Margaret Swanson stood up with Melody Fox’s help.
“In that case, let’s move downstairs.”
Soon, the banquet officially began.
Melody Fox went downstairs and saw Zuo Ye talking to Ramon Swanson.
Just as she did not know if she should take the initiative to greet Zuo Ye, she saw Zuo Ye avoiding her gaze.
Melody Fox paused for a moment before Ken Swanson walked over and said in a low voice, “As expected of someone from Ou Jing. Mr. Zuo is very good at reading people’s expressions.”
With this sentence, Melody Fox knew that Zuo Ye had deliberately not met her gaze just now.
She did not have to worry that Zuo Ye would think too highly of her and make Ramon Swanson unhappy with Ken Swanson.
Ramon Swanson called her and Ken Swanson’s names.
When the two of them walked over, Zuo Ye greeted them. There was no longer the familiarity from before in his words. His attitude was very calm.
Melody Fox heaved a sigh of relief.
As expected, Ramon Swanson did not show any displeasure. He happily helped them hook up with Zuo Ye. Ramon Swanson even took the initiative to let Ken Swanson entertain Zuo Ye well.
Not long after, it was time to talk.
Ramon Swanson walked onto the stage and announced the marriage of Melody Fox and Ken Swanson in front of everyone.
Chapter 1290
Accompanied by Ken Swanson, Claude White came to Ramon Swanson with countless flashes.
At this moment, she was undoubtedly the protagonist of tonight’s cocktail party.
Without exception, all the famous figures in the business world raised their glasses to her.
If it were anyone else, they would probably be feeling smug right now. However, Melody Fox was still as calm and indifferent as ever. Although he was in the fame and fortune fair, he had never taken fame and fortune seriously. He was exactly the same as Ken Swanson beside him. At this moment, everyone present finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Ken Swanson’s judgment. The two of them were a match made in heaven and were the most suitable for each other.
Below the stage, Sid Quant felt like crying.
He had watched them walk all the way here and knew very well that their journey had not been smooth sailing, nor was it as easy as others thought.
At Fox, a servant whispered something into Sid Quant’s ear.
Sid Quant’s eyes lit up. “Got it. I’ll go pick her up!”
Fox, Sid Quant arrived at the door.
Looking at the beautifully dressed Zara Wentworth, his eyes lit up again.
“Xiao Wen, you look so beautiful today.”
Zara Wentworth’s face turned red, and his cheeks turned red.
“Mr. Quant, you’re teasing me again.”
Sid Quant stretched out three fingers. “I’m not teasing you. I’
m telling the truth. I can swear to God.”
Zara Wentworth’s face turned even redder.
Sid Quant smiled and said, “Alright, hurry up and go in. The cocktail party has already begun. Your best friend is probably surrounded by people now, waiting for you to help her escape.”
Zara Wentworth nodded and quickly followed Sid Quant’s footsteps. However, he did not see the smug look on Sid Quant’s face.
When they arrived at the villa, the two of them saw Melody Fox surrounded by a group of socialites. Although there was a smile on his face, they could tell at a glance that Melody Fox was forcing himself to maintain his enthusiasm with them.
“Let’s go,” Sid Quant said.
“Yeah.”
Zara Wentworth responded and went into the crowd. “Melody…”
Melody Fox heard a familiar voice and looked in Zara Wentworth’s direction in surprise.
When they saw Sid Quant and Zara Wentworth standing side by side, their expressions became even more surprised.
“How did you…
She paused and said to the socialites, “I’m sorry, everyone. I’ Il talk to my friend for a while. Please help yourself.”
Although the socialites still wanted to get close to Melody Fox, since Melody Fox had already spoken, they could only leave regretfully.
After everyone left, Melody Fox held Zara Wentworth’s hand and asked, “Why are you here?”
Today’s cocktail party was hosted by Ramon Swanson, so Melody Fox did not call her friend.
Because she knew that none of her friends liked such occasions.
Unexpectedly, Zara Wentworth came.
Although she was happy, she was more puzzled.
Unexpectedly, Zara Wentworth also asked in confusion,” Didn’t you ask me to come?”
Melody Fox glanced at Sid Quant beside him. When he saw Sid Quant’s gaze, he instantly understood something.
“Yes… I asked you to come.” She looked deeply at Sid Quant and smiled at Zara Wentworth. “I just thought that you might not have time to rush over since you’re so busy.” “Why would I? If you call me, I’ll definitely be on call.”
Zara Wentworth smiled. She was silly and sweet. Her thoughts and brain were very simple. She did not notice the silent eye contact between Melody Fox and Sid Quant at all.
When the party was about to end, Melody Fox took advantage of Zara Wentworth to help her fill her stomach with desserts and dragged Sid Quant to the side.
She said with a serious expression, “Sid Quant, don’t think I don’t know what you’re trying to do. I’m warning you, Zara Wentworth is my friend. I won’t let you play with her feelings. She’s not a casual girl. Once she likes you, she likes you wholeheartedly. Can you bear to hurt such a person?”
Sid Quant frowned.
“Melody, what kind of person do you take me for? Although I used to like to play… this time is different.”
Melody Fox looked at him coldly. “I don’t believe that the prodigal son will turn back.”
Sid Quant pursed her lips and said, “Zara Wentworth is different. She, she…”
He scratched his head and said, “To tell you the truth, I drank a little too much yesterday. She sent me back to the hotel. We accidentally…”
Melody Fox’s eyes widened as he grabbed Sid Quant’s collar.
“What did you do to her!”
“Don’t, don’t, don’t be agitated. Nothing happened between us. It’s just, it’s just a coincidence. She put me on the bed and fell on me. We just kissed…”
Melody Fox heaved a sigh of relief. Similarly, Fox’s expression turned even uglier.
“I’ve already said that she’s not someone you can treat casually. If you dare to hurt her, I won’t let you have a good time!”
“Don’t be anxious. Let me finish first.”
Melody Fox took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down. “Then tell me.”
Sid Quant scratched his head again and said very embarrassedly, “After we accidentally kissed, my… my place reacted…”
Melody Fox didn’t react for a moment. When Fox reacted, her eyes widened in surprise.
“That shouldn’t be the case… If it’s just self-healing, it’ll take at least a year and a half to recover the function of your Square spaghetti…”
“That’s right! That’s why I said that Zara Wentworth is different. Perhaps I’m destined to be with her! Her blood flows in my body!”
Melody Fox felt weird hearing this.
She took another deep breath and warned Sid Quant, “Don’t talk nonsense with me. Perhaps it’s just that you happened to recover by yourself. I’ll tell you one last time. I can’t interfere with you playing with other people’s feelings, but I can’t interfere with Zara Wentworth. If you really want to pursue her, you can be responsible for her and change your bad habits from before. I have no objections, but if you’re like before…”
Sid Quant quickly raised his hands in surrender.
“Miss, you’ve really misunderstood me. Although I have many ex-girlfriends, I’m not as ridiculous as you think. I’m still very serious about relationships.”
Melody Fox continued to look at Sid Quant coldly.
Sid Quant could only say, “Alright, I understand. I’ll think about it carefully. I’m really sincere. But don’t worry, even if you lend me a hundred guts, I won’t dare to provoke your friend.”
Only then did Melody Fox feel slightly relieved.
Coincidentally, FoxZara Wentworth had returned, and their conversation ended there.
The sky gradually darkened, and the cocktail party finally ended.
Melody Fox felt exhausted all over. It was more tiring to socialize with those socialites than to fight for an entire day. After returning to the car, Fox felt like her entire body was falling apart.
Ken Swanson massaged the spaghetti cervical vertebrae on the back of her neck and asked gently, “Are you tired?” “Yes, a little…”
“Looks like you’re really tired.”
Normally, Melody Fox would not admit that she was tired.
Melody Fox smiled. “No, I’m just mentally tired. I’m really not suitable for such an occasion.”
“I don’t like it either. Don’t worry, other than this time, there won’t be such an occasion if we do it again.”
Melody Fox’s eyes widened. “Do it again after that?”
Chapter 1291
Ken Swanson glanced at her and reminded her, “Have you forgotten that we haven’t held a wedding yet? There are only a lot more people coming to the wedding than tonight.”
“… Can we not hold a wedding?”
“…What do you think?”
Melody Fox knew that this was impossible, so he did not say anything else.
Even ordinary families placed great importance on weddings, let alone the Swanson family.
However, after today’s tiring day, she did not look forward to the wedding as much as before. She only felt that it would definitely be very tiring.
When he reached home, Maria Fox was also tired and went straight to his room to rest.
However, Melody Fox and Ken Swanson were called to Ramon Swanson’s study.
“Both of you did well tonight,” Ramon Swanson said as he handed Melody Fox a document.
“And this is?”
“Open it and take a look.”
Melody Fox nodded and opened the brown paper bag according to Ramon Swanson’s instructions.
It was a letter of appointment.
She was hired as the general manager of the Swanson GroupInsterimond branch.
Melody Fox was stunned for a moment before he subconsciously refused. “Dad, I don’t know anything about the business world. It was just a coincidence that I was able to sign Ou Jing’s contract. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to do it and let you down.”
Melody Fox only reacted after saying that. She did not know if Ramon Swanson would be dissatisfied with her rejection.
However, Ramon Swanson seemed to be very satisfied with her reaction. He laughed and said, “Silly child, although it’s a letter of appointment, you only need to enjoy the benefits of this position. You don’t have to go to Insterimond to work. Ken Swanson, explain it to your wife.” Ken Swanson nodded and said to Melody Fox, “I just want to give you a position so that when you go out, everyone will only treat you as the Swanson family’s daughter-in-law and have no other authority.”
Melody Fox reacted and quickly thanked him. “Thank you for thinking about me, Dad.”
Ramon Swanson waved his hand. “You don’t have to thank me. You’ve settled the collaboration with Ou Jing for me. You deserve it.”
“Besides, you’re my daughter-in-law. the Swanson Group should have had a share of you.”
Melody Fox’s heart skipped a beat.
Ramon Swanson’s words were very intriguing.
Whether he was telling the truth or reminding her not to take the Swanson Group too seriously, she really did not know.
Melody Fox quickly thought about it and simply revealed a silly and sweet smile.
“No matter what, I still have to thank you, Dad. Then I’ll accept this engagement letter!”
He had to admit that having Fox beauties was indeed a good thing. It could lower the other party’s vigilance.
After all, men all felt that the more beautiful a woman was, the emptier her head would be.
It was the same logic as a vase.
As expected, Ramon Swanson did not continue the topic from before. He waved his hand and said, “Alright, I’m tired today. You must be tired too. Go back to your room and rest early. As for your wedding, I’m old and my taste is different from yours. You can decide on the wedding yourself.”
“Alright, Dad.” Melody Fox smiled and left with Ken Swanson.
After returning to his room, Melody Fox collapsed on the bed. He did not even want to wash up.
In the end, Ken Swanson brought water over. He looked at the tutorial on his phone while removing her makeup.
“I’m going to remove my fake eyelashes. It might hurt. Bear with it.”
Ken Swanson looked extremely serious. He did not look like he was removing her makeup, but more like he was doing an experiment.
Melody Fox could not help but laugh.
It took more than ten minutes for Ken Swanson to remove the makeup on her face. He did not forget to kiss her on the lips.
At this moment, everything around him seemed to have become gentle.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Melody Fox was woken up by the vibration of his phone.
She opened her eyes and saw that both WhatsApp and the text messages were all congratulatory messages.
WhatsApp’s friend requests could not be flipped to the bottom. Almost all the requests were from the chairman of a certain company or the daughter and wife of a certain family.
Melody was too lazy to reply to them one by one. She turned around and saw that Ken Swanson was still sleeping.
Recently, Ken Swanson had woken up earlier than her. It was rare for her to see Ken Swanson sleeping.
Right at this moment, Ken Swanson seemed to have sensed something and suddenly opened his eyes.
“Morning.”
“Morning.” Melody Fox could not help but smile and shrink into Ken Swanson’s arms.
Her voice was hoarse from just waking up.
“Why didn’t you wake up earlier than me today?”
“Nothing today. To be precise, nothing this week, but I’m afraid there will be a lot of things next week.”
“Yes?”
“Next week, Ximber Tech will be the launch of the new product.”
Melody Fox looked up and withdrew from Ken Swanson’s arms.
“Ace product X-series?”
“Yeah.”
Melody Fox’s heart could not help but beat faster.
If he remembered correctly, once the trump card series was launched in his previous life, it immediately became an explosive bestseller.
With this series of products, Ximber Tech directly became the leader of the same industry.
The company went public not long after that.
It could be said that this was a transcendental node of Ximber Tech.
Ken Swanson’s name would also resound throughout the world.
“I wish you all the best.”
Ken Swanson raised his eyebrows. “With your words, everything will definitely go smoothly.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ken Swanson tightened his grip on her.
However, right at this moment, Melody Fox’s phone rang.
She glanced at it lazily and saw that it was Professor Ander Morgan. She immediately pushed Ken Swanson aside, cleared her throat, and sat up.
“Godfather.”
“Yes, Melody. I was afraid that you would ask, so I told you. The latest assessment is scheduled at 1 p.m. this afternoon. The location is at the Silverlake Research Institute, my laboratory.”
“Yes, yes, I remember.”
“It’s good that you remember. You can come to our house for lunch. We’ll go over together at Fox.”
“Sure.”
“Alright, that’s all for now.”
Melody Fox hung up the phone. Knowing that Ken Swanson had heard everything, he did not repeat it.
Ken Swanson also sat up on the bed. As he played with her hair, he said, “Looks like you’re going to be busier than me today.”
Melody Fox shrugged. “I’m not participating in the assessment. I’m one of the examiners. I can’t be too busy. The people who are busy are participating in the assessment.”
Ken Swanson nodded and asked, “Make sure that they can all participate in the assessment, right?”
“They” naturally referred to the batch of participants who had been poisoned by Jennie Taylor.
“Yes, I’m sure. Last night, I confirmed with James Deeds that they’ve all recovered.”
“That’s good. I knew it. Jennie Taylor’s little tricks won’t stump you.”
Melody Fox smiled and said, “However, I didn’t put in much effort this time. It was always James Deeds who was busy.”
“He’s making amends. I won’t punish him, I won’t, and I won’t reward him.”
Melody Fox shrugged again.
“You heartless capitalist-“
“Huh?” Ken Swanson pretended to be angry.
Melody Fox stuck out his tongue and quickly got off the bed to wash up.
Ken Swanson looked helpless, her eyes filled with doting love.
After Fox rooms, it was already afternoon.
Melody Fox had lunch with Ander Morgan. The two of them took a car to the laboratory.
Chapter 1292
When Ander Morgan’s car arrived at the entrance of the research institute, the people participating in the assessment were already waiting at the entrance.
However, there were more than 20 people participating in the assessment this time, but there were only a few at the entrance.
“Strange…” Ander Morgan was confused. “It’s almost one o’clock. Why are there only so few people?”
Melody Fox, who was sitting at the side, had a deep cold glint in his eyes.
That was naturally because someone had tampered with it.
However, she planned to tell Ander Morgan about this after the assessment ended.
The car didn’t stop and drove straight into the research institute.
Ander Morgan’s deputy, Chen Chuan, was in charge of the roll call.
Mabel Fox stood at the front of the entrance. When he saw that there were more than ten people who did not appear, the corners of his mouth curled into an inconspicuous smile.
After Chen Chuan finished counting, he asked the same question as Ander Morgan.
“Why are there only so few people?”
Naturally, no one present answered this question for him.
However, the smile on Mabel Fox’s lips clearly deepened. It was almost impossible to hide it.
Ulric Swanson was indeed reliable. He immediately solved a large number of problems for her.
The remaining ones were probably not her match.
It seemed that the empty space in Professor Ander Morgan’s laboratory was hers.
Chen Chuan dialed the number of the person who had not arrived according to the contact information on the roster, but without exception, no one picked up.
He frowned and said, “Let’s not wait for now. Everyone, follow me in first. As for those who haven’t arrived, if they don’t appear after a while, they will be considered to have abandoned the exam.”
That was what Mabel Fox had been waiting for. He could not wait to follow Chen Chuan into the research institute. The research institute occupied an area of spaghetti square meters. It was almost comparable to the local schools.
After walking past a few buildings, Chen Chuan stopped. He pointed at a five-story building in front of him and said, This is it. This is Professor Ander Morgan’s experimental base. He has hundreds of key research projects under his name. Don’t wander around after you enter. Just follow me.” “Yes, Teacher Chen.”
When Chen Chuan received a response, he nodded and led everyone inside.
The venue of the assessment was the conference room on the first floor.
Ander Morgan was already seated in spaghetti.
Mabel Fox followed closely behind Chen Chuan, spaghetti. As soon as she entered, all her expressions froze on her face.
There was no other reason than Ander Morgan was chatting and laughing with a familiar woman in the conference room.
She was none other than the Melody Fox that he hated so much!
Damn it, why was Melody Fox here?
She knew that Ander Morgan had adopted Melody Fox as her goddaughter. She was there on the day of adoption, but how could Ander Morgan bring her goddaughter in on such an occasion?
Could it be that Melody Fox was here for her?
Mabel Fox’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
At the conference table, Melody Fox also noticed Mabel Fox.
However, she ignored him and continued to talk to Professor Ander Morgan.
“Herbathrive told me that although Lucas doesn’t know medicine, he has helped in many places. Don’t worry.”
Ander Morgan shook his head. “I’m just afraid that that kid is just a short-lived person. He won’t be willing to go again after a few days.”
“That won’t happen. Lucas might be a little childish, but once he finds a definite direction on his own, he will continue unwaveringly. We all have to believe in him.”
“If he was half as mature as you, I wouldn’t have to worry so much about him.”
Melody Fox smiled and thought to herself, ‘She was also immature in the past. She was very in love and sacrificed her life for this.
No matter who it was, they would mature after being reborn.
However, the price was too high. There was nothing wrong with Lucas Morgan doing this.
As they were talking, Chen Chuan asked the participants to take their seats. Then, he brought the roster to Ander Morgan.
“Ander Morgan. I don’t know what’s going on, but only half of them are here. I can’t contact the other half no matter what. It’s really strange…”
Ander Morgan frowned.
“He hasn’t come yet?”
“Yeah, it’s ten minutes to one.”
“In that case, let’s wait for them for another ten minutes. When one o’clock arrives, even if they come, they will be considered to have forfeited the exam. I don’t accept people who don’t even have the basic concept of time.”
“Yes.”
Chen Chuan had the same thought.
He bowed slightly to Ander Morgan and said to the other members who were participating in the assessment, Please prepare your assessment materials. The assessment will officially begin in ten minutes.”
Mabel Fox pinched the information beside her hand. For some reason, the closer she was to the assessment room Fox, the more nervous she felt.
There was an indescribable sense of nervousness.
It was a guilty conscience that was afraid that something unexpected would happen.
“Everyone…”
Ander Morgan stood up from his chair and said, “Before the official assessment begins, let me introduce the teachers of our assessment team.”
The assessment team stood up from their chairs one after another.
Ander Morgan introduced them one by one. “The person who brought you in is my assistant, Chen Chuan. Of course, he’s also a student I brought over. He’s been with me for more than ten years.”
“Second place…”
There were a total of six members of the assessment team, including Ander Morgan himself.
After introducing the other four, Ander Morgan finally
started introducing Melody Fox.
“The person beside me is a new member of our laboratory, Doctor Melody Fox from the medical team. During the assessment, if you feel uncomfortable, you can look for Doctor Melody Fox from Doctor Fox.”
Melody Fox nodded slightly at everyone as a form of greeting.
Below, Mabel Foxspaghetti looked calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
Melody Fox, She actually became a member of the laboratory through Ander Morgan!
Although he was a member of the medical team, everyone would not be divided into groups when he went out. They only knew that those who could enter Laboratory Ander Morgan were high-level researchers. Their value was naturally many times higher than ordinary people. They would be respected by everyone when they went out.
The more Mabel Fox thought about it, the angrier he became.
He had worked so hard to prepare for the exam for so long, but it was still unknown if he could enter the laboratory.
But what about Melody Fox?
She didn’t need to do anything. She directly became a laboratory member through the back door of Ander Morgan. Moreover, from Ander Morgan’s tone, it was obvious that Melody Fox was already an official member and did not even have an internship period.
Damn it!
The appearance of this “airborne soldier” was simply an insult to them, who had worked hard to participate in the assessment!
How could this be?
This was too unfair!
Mabel Fox clenched his fists tightly. Countless roars and unwillingness surged in his heart.
What made her feel even more complicated was that she had no idea if Melody Fox was targeting her.
If Melody Fox wanted to tamper with it during the assessment, what should he do?
Mabel Fox’s mind was in a mess.
However, looking at the other ten empty seats, she calmed down a little.
None of the people who were a threat to her could come now. Her chances of winning were still very high.
If Melody Fox really made things difficult for her, she would directly expose her, or even Ander Morgan!
At most, they would fight to the death. It was no big deal!
Chapter 1293
After figuring this out, Mabel Fox was no longer nervous. His gaze gradually became firm.
On the other side, Ander Morgan only introduced himself after introducing everyone. However, it was only two to three sentences.
These people were originally here for Ander Morgan’s name. Ander Morgan did not even need to introduce himself.
By the time he finished the process, it was already 12:58 p.m.
Two minutes until one o’clock.
Ander Morgan looked at the clock on the wall and thought that there was no need to wait any longer.
He cleared his throat and was about to speak when Melody Fox suddenly said, “Coming.”
“What?” Ander Morgan asked in confusion.
Melody Fox’s gaze landed outside the window. He subconsciously looked over and saw a row of people walking past the window neatly. Under the lead of the security guard at the entrance of the research institute, they passed by the window and came over.
Immediately after, there was a knock on the conference room door.
“Enter.”
As soon as Ander Morgan finished speaking, the ten people who had not arrived just now walked in from outside and bowed to Ander Morgan.
“Ander Morgan, okay.”
Mabel Fox, who was sitting in her seat, widened her eyes and stood up reflexively.
“How could this be…”
Her action caused everyone to look at Mabel Fox.
Melody Fox narrowed his eyes. Professor Ander Morgan asked, “What’s the matter?”
Mabel Fox finally reacted and quickly said, “I’m fine.” He quickly lowered his head and sat back down, trying his best to pretend that nothing had happened.
Melody Fox sneered in his heart. spaghetti still did not show it. He calmly turned his gaze away from Mabel Fox.
Beside her, Room Ander Morgan glanced at Room Fox again. There was still one minute before 1 p.m.
They were not considered late.
However, it still made Ander Morgan unhappy. Since he was not late, he could not be considered to have abandoned the exam.
‘Come in. Be quick next time.’
“Yes…” The group of people responded and sat down on the seats with their name tags.
When Mabel Fox saw that no one was paying attention to her, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Chen Chuan picked up the roster again and called out names. Other than one examinee who had informed them that they had gone overseas to further their studies, everyone else was present.
Mabel Fox’s eyelashes fluttered again when he heard the word ‘everyone’.
She did not understand. Ulric Swanson had clearly told her this morning that those candidates who were a threat to her would not appear. Why were all these people here now, and not one of them was leaving?
This made Mabel Fox, who had already calmed down, feel great waves in his heart again.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself, but apparently, it didn’t work.
Ander Morgan said, “Since we’re all here, let’s begin! I announce that the assessment has officially begun. I’ll tell you the rules on the spot.”
“There are a total of three rounds of assessment. The points for each round are added up to the average points. The two with the highest average points will be selected.”
“You’ve already participated in the first round, which is the question I gave you previously. In a while, I’ll give you your scores based on your analysis of the question.”
“The second round is an experiment. The content of the experiment will be decided by drawing lots.”
“The third round will be theory and experiments. We will split into two groups and test your standards.”
“Now, let’s begin the first round of the assessment.'”
Mabel Fox’s expression changed instantly.
She thought that the questions had already passed and were only used to judge if they were qualified to participate in the assessment.
Therefore, after obtaining the answer of the big shot from the black market forum, she did not study that question at all.
Who would have thought that he would have to reanalyze that question now?
She had completely forgotten what she had written. She could not even remember the question.
Mabel Fox pinched her thigh hard, trying to ease the tension in her heart with the pain in her body.
Fortunately, there was always a way out. Ander Morgan. asked Chen Chuan to post their answers.
“It’s been almost a month since the submission. I was afraid that everyone would forget the questions, so I returned the papers you handed in.”
Mabel Fox held her answer tightly and looked at the clear answer written by her. It was as if a stabilizing force had appeared in her heart and he heaved a sigh of relief. Ander Morgan continued, “Since everyone’s questions are the same, we will analyze the questions one-on-one. The order will be according to your name.
Chen Chuan announced the name of the first person and brought the others out.
After leaving, no one was allowed to speak or use their phones.
The others were all trying to remember the question, but Mabel Fox could not solve it at all, so she had nothing to remember. She stood by the wall and started to memorize the answer.
Soon, it was Mabel Fox’s turn to enter.
Seeing the first row of assessment team members sitting upright, Mabel Fox realized that Melody Fox was not present.
Without Melody Fox around, she was inexplicably less nervous. There was even a smile on her face as she walked in.
“Student Mabel Fox, sit.”
Ander Morgan had a gentle expression on his face that was no different from how he treated the other examinees. “Tell me about your understanding of this question.”
Mabel Fox nodded and almost read the question again. Then, he began to recite his answer.
Ander Morgan was stunned for a moment, but he did not say anything in the end. He only reminded Mabel Fox after she finished memorizing it. “Student Mabel Fox, you might have misunderstood. What we need you to answer is your analysis of this question, not its answer.”
“S-analyzing… Isn’t that what the answer means?”
A member of the assessment team beside him said, “Of course not. Since you don’t understand what we need you to answer, let me remind you a little. Ander Morgan?” “Yeah.”
After obtaining Ander Morgan’s agreement, the
assessment team member said, “The analysis we’re talking about is not an analysis of your own answer, but an analysis and understanding of the question. Ander Morgan’s question is actually a combination of a few world-class problems. You can analyze it from this point and tell me your solution.”
Mabel Fox was in a mess.
What kind of reminder was this?
This was equivalent to not saying anything, okay?
Beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead as she lowered her head to take a closer look at the question.
She recognized the numbers and symbols on spaghetti, but when they were combined, she had no idea what to say.
Damn it, why did the first round of assessment have to be this question?
She had been preparing for so long, but she had never placed her focus on this question.
“Student Mabel Fox?”
Seeing that Mabel Fox did not speak for a long time, Ander Morgan finally felt that something was wrong. He reminded, “Please start answering.”
Mabel Fox shuddered. She braced herself and said, “I’m sorry. Mr. Ander Morgan, It has been too long ago. I kind of forgot…”
Chapter 1294
The corner of Ander Morgan’s mouth twitched.
“Didn’t I send all the answers back to you? Didn’t you recall anything when you were outside just now?”
Mabel Fox lowered his head and lied. “I’m not feeling well today. I didn’t look at the questions carefully when I was outside spaghetti…”
Ander Morgan and the two examiners beside him looked at each other and could already see the problem with Mabel Fox.
It had indeed been a month since the Foxth question.
However, as long as he did the questions himself, he would be able to recall them immediately after recalling them.
The examinee in the first place did not even prepare in advance. He only looked at the questions again and recalled his solution.
When it came to Mabel Fox, it became redundant saying “I forgot.”
Although she said that she had forgotten, she who had just memorized the answer was not missing a single word.
‘What does that prove?’
It proved that she did not do the question herself. That was why such a situation could happen.
“Cough, cough!”
However, so far, this was only Ander Morgan’s guess.
He coughed dryly. In order to confirm his guess and find the answer to Mabel Fox, he omitted a step and asked, ” Since you can’t analyze the question at the moment, tell me the answer you wrote.”
“Between steps four and five, you omitted a formula and directly substituted the coefficient to obtain the value of y.”
“Now, answer me what the formula you omitted is.”
Mabel Fox felt uneasy.
Could it be that Ander Morgan had noticed something?
‘No, I don’t think so.’
She concentrated and looked at steps four and five that Ander Morgan had mentioned.
There was a dense string of numbers above the questions. It was like a string of ancient Greek words that she could not see at all.
Even if she racked her brain, she could not figure out which formula had been omitted during the steps.
Cold sweat trickled down Mabel Fox’s forehead.
She clenched her fists tightly, almost exhausting everything she had learned in her life to find the answer. However, she could not understand this step at all, let alone which formula was omitted between the steps.
Ander Morgan’s voice sounded again-
“Student Mabel Fox, please answer immediately.”
“I, I…” Mabel Fox moved his lips and said with a pale face, “I’m sorry, Professor Ander Morgan, It’s been too long ago. This… I forgot about it too.”
Ander Morgan immediately narrowed his eyes.
The other members of the assessment team also frowned.
Everyone seemed to be keenly curious and smelled something abnormal.
Ander Morgan was completely certain that Mabel Fox did not come up with this answer himself.
He didn’t need to memorize the steps he had taken to solve it. He only needed to look up and down to figure it out.
To think that he still felt that although Mabel Fox’s character was not very good, he was indeed talented in advanced mathematics, spaghetti.
From the looks of it, this talent was basically stealing other people’s fruits!
He suddenly raised his voice and said coldly, “Mabel Fox,
did you really write your answer yourself?”
Mabel Fox naturally wouldn’t admit it.
She swallowed hard and braced herself. “Of course. Of course, I wrote it myself.”
“Hehe.” Ander Morgan sneered and said, “If you wrote it yourself, then why don’t you know which formula is used between the steps?”
“I forgot…”
“Forget? You’ll know once you think about it. There’s no need to remember it. Answer me honestly. Did you come up with this answer yourself?!”
Before Mabel Fox could reply, the side door of the conference room opened.
Melody Fox walked in.
She looked at Mabel Fox indifferently.
“Mabel Fox, hurry up and tell the truth. There’s no need for you to not tell the truth until now.”
Mabel Fox glared at Melody Fox.
“I’m telling the truth!”
“Oh? If you’re not telling the truth, what are you going to do?”
“What do you mean I’ll do anything? This is the answer I figured out myself. If you want to slander me, show me the evidence if you have the ability.”
Melody Fox smirked coldly. “Answer my question first. I can naturally produce evidence.”
Mabel Fox’s heart tightened. Could Melody Fox really have evidence?
However, she quickly determined that Melody Fox was deliberately trying to trick her into telling the truth.
‘Yes, that must be it.
The black market forum’s confidentiality was very good. Melody Fox would definitely not have any evidence.
Moreover, it had been so long since the incident. If Melody Fox had any evidence, he would have taken it out long ago.
She must be tricking me.
Thinking of this, Mabel Fox took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. “I’m telling the truth. I solved this question myself. If not, I can withdraw from the assessment!”
Melody Fox smiled.
“You said so yourself.”
Mabel Fox frowned. He had a very bad feeling.
However, she still insisted that Melody Fox was tricking her. She braced herself and continued, “Yes, that’s what I said.” “No regrets?”
“What’s there to regret? I’ve already said that I was the one who came up with the answer. Don’t even think about slandering me!”
Melody Fox nodded and turned to Ander Morgan and the others. “Ander Morgan, you heard it too. If she really didn’t solve the answer herself, then she’s willing to withdraw from the assessment.”
Ander Morgan grunted and said, “That’s right, we heard it. You… really have evidence?”
“That’s right.” Melody Fox nodded. Under everyone’s gaze, he took out his phone and connected to the big screen in the conference room.
Mabel Fox looked at Melody Fox’s operation and felt more and more uneasy.
She didn’t really have evidence, did she?
Mabel Fox’s palms were already drenched in sweat.
The screen connected to Melody Fox’s phone screen.
Soon, Melody Fox opened the black market forum app on his phone.
As soon as he logged in, Mabel Fox’s eyes widened.
This username… Wasn’t this user the whiz who had accepted her order back then?
In an instant, Mabel Fox felt his heart stop beating.
However, Melody Fox’s movements did not stop just because Mabel Fox’s expression changed.
She nimbly opened the order page and displayed the chat content.
In the chat, he could clearly see the answer given by Melody Fox.
Everyone compared it to Mabel Fox’s answer and found that Mabel Fox’s answer was exactly the same as the answer on the order page. Even the “because” of spaghetti was the same.
Mabel Fox’s legs went soft and he fell from the chair to the ground.
She looked at Melody Fox in disbelief and said with a trembling voice, “You, you’re actually the person who accepted the order…”
“That’s right! You must be thinking that the black market forum’s confidentiality is so good that it’s absolutely impossible for me to produce evidence. But if I’m the one who
accepted the order, then I can follow Fox to find the order information.”
Mabel Fox’s brain exploded.
Compared to being exposed for cheating, she was even more devastated that the “whiz” she thought was actually Melody Fox.
Chapter 1295
This feeling of being completely crushed by Melody Fox’s strength was more disgusting and painful than anything else.
Mabel Fox was unwilling to admit it from the bottom of his heart.
“No, no… that’s not it. You’re lying. How could you solve such a difficult question? You’re clearly a third-rate student who graduated from Yeji University! If you could solve such a difficult question, why did you go to such a trashy university? If not, why didn’t you go to Insterimond?
University back then? Instead, you went to a third-tier college?” Ander Morgan could not help but look at Melody Fox.
He had always known that his goddaughter, Melody Fox, was very outstanding.
However, he could not figure out his educational background.
Melody Fox said coldly, “Since you’re asking, I’ll tell you! That’s because the family that raised me back then was financially poor. I want to stay locally to take care of him. Similarly, I don’t want him to have too much tuition pressure. Therefore, for the SAT, I deliberately calculated that I would get into the cheapest local university, a third-tier college. If I perform normally, it won’t be a problem for me to get into the top three in the province, let alone SAT.”
Of course, she now knew that Quentin Parker was not poor. It was just that she had mistakenly thought that he had no money.
Quentin Parker was much richer than she had imagined. However, she did not regret her decision.
The Fox lights that she had left by her master’s side were very beautiful and precious memories to her.
Mabel Fox’s eyes widened. She did not expect such a reason.
Therefore, with Melody Fox’s true ability, she could definitely get into Insterimond University. However, for the sake of that damn foster family, she chose to go to an inferior trash school.
The reason was that the tuition fees were cheap!
Mabel Fox felt a tightness in her throat. She felt like vomiting blood.
Melody Fox stopped looking at Mabel Fox and said to Ander Morgan, “Professor Ander Morgan, the entire assessment process was recorded, right?”
“That’s right.”
“In that case, please punish her according to the rules. I won’t participate in the subsequent assessments. It’s better to leave professional matters to you professionals. As a doctor, I really can’t help much.”
Ander Morgan’s mouth twitched.
Melody Fox was too modest, making her seem like she was in Versailles.
He tried his best to maintain the expression on his face. and said, “Alright, go ahead. I’ll strictly punish you according to the rules.”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “However, before I leave, I have something else to tell you.”
She walked over to Ander Morgan and whispered something in his ear.
Ander Morgan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Mabel Fox in disbelief.
“Are you sure she-“
“Yes. Those who are late can all testify to my words.”
Ander Morgan was trembling with anger.
“No wonder! No wonder they arrived at such an important assessment just in time.”
When Mabel Fox heard this, he already had an ominous feeling.
After Melody Fox said goodbye to Ander Morgan, she walked out.
“Stop! Melody Fox, stop right there!”
Mabel Fox subconsciously wanted to get up from the ground and fight Melody Fox to the death.
After today, her reputation in academia would definitely be completely ruined.
Therefore, she could not let Melody Fox off!
She wanted to perish together with her!
Let’s just die together!
However, before she could get up from the ground, Ander Morgan ordered someone to control her.
“Student Mabel Fox, it’s time for us to settle the score.”
Mabel Fox’s body trembled.
“W-What are you guys trying to do…”
Ander Morgan said coldly, “Settle the score!”
He actually used such a despicable method to enter her laboratory. This was completely intolerable!
Mabel Fox’s eyes widened as he realized that what Melody Fox had just said to Ander Morgan was exactly what Ulric Swanson had done for her. Alarm bells rang in his heart.
She quickly took out her phone to contact Ulric Swanson, but Chen Chuan took it away.
“Student Mabel Fox, before you explain everything clearly, you are not allowed to contact the outside world!”
“Give it back to me! Give me back my phone!”
Mabel Fox’s voice spread far and wide. Even Melody Fox, who had walked out of spaghetti, heard it.
She pursed her lips and her eyes were cold.
As the saying goes, it’s not that I don’t want to repay you, but Fox days have yet to pass.
This matter had dragged on for so long. It was time for Fox to end it.
After Melody Fox left the laboratory, he contacted Ken Swanson and told him about the situation in the laboratory.
Ken Swanson nodded and said, “Mabel Fox’s reputation should be completely ruined today. Melody, you did very well.”
“Don’t you think I’m scary?”
“Of course not. What are you thinking? You just did the right thing. You never bullied those who didn’t provoke you.
Mabel Fox deserved it.”
Melody Fox was relieved.
“Then I’m going home now. I have to finish Mrs. Yang’s gown today. Mabel Fox’s matter has been resolved, so it’s time for Fox to take action on Russell Fox.”
“Okay, don’t be too tired. I’ll be back early today.” “Yeah.”
Melody Fox hung up the phone and rushed home.
Just as she said, she finished the gown in time one afternoon and asked Seventeen to send the gown to the Fox family.
Russell Fox was overjoyed and immediately contacted the Yang family.
The collaboration was completed, and he no longer had any surplus money on hand.
After signing the contract, Russell Fox planned to contact Mabel Fox and have Mabel Fox urge Ulric Swanson to quickly get the Justalion Group to work with the Swanson Group.
When a large number of orders arrived, the Justalion Group could make a comeback!
However, no matter how many times Russell Fox called, Mabel Fox did not pick up.
He thought that Mabel Fox was still undergoing the assessment, so he did not continue fighting and waited patiently.
However, instead of a call from Mabel Fox, it was a call from the police.
“Mr. Russell Fox, your daughter Mabel Fox is suspected of poisoning others. Please bring the relevant documents immediately and come to the police station.”
Russell Fox’s face turned pale.
“Wh-what did you say? Sir, are you mistaken?”
“There’s no mistake. Please come over quickly.”
The other party hung up the phone.
As the sky darkened, Russell Fox finally saw Mabel Fox. Mabel Fox was already on the verge of insanity. He kept mumbling things like “I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you…”
Soon, in order to enter Ander Morgan’s laboratory, not only did Mabel Fox cheat and get someone to help her do the questions, but the news of him obtaining the qualifications to participate in the assessment also spread. There were also rumors that Mabel Fox poisoned the other candidates who participated in the assessment, hoping to prevent them from participating in the assessment so that he could stand out in the assessment.
Fox rooms, Mabel Fox rooms were spurned by the entire socialite circle and academia.
The infamy spread like a plague.
In the police station, Mabel Fox finally regained some rationality.
She called Ulric Swanson, but Ulric Swanson did not pick up at all.
She had a bad feeling.
