Chapter 1106
The night was getting late. Melody Fox was sitting in the car. Just as she was feeling a little sleepy, the car had already arrived in front of the apartment.
Melody Fox rubbed her eyes and followed Ken Swanson.
“By the way, did Aaron Berg tell you that I asked him to find a nanny? This way, we don’t have to care about those trivial family matters. What nanny? If you want to cook, then cook. If you don’t want to cook, let the nanny cook.”
“Yes, I ran into him on my way out, but I didn’t run into the nanny.”
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the apartment door.
Aaron Berg was already waiting at the door and opened it for the two of them.
As soon as the door opened, Melody Fox smelled a strong smell of inferior perfume.
The smell was too pungent and cheap, making Melody Fox feel dizzy and nauseous.
She didn’t even need to judge to know that the price of this perfume definitely didn’t exceed 6 dollars. It was the kind of perfume that was often sold in street stalls.
It wasn’t that Melody Fox looked down on street goods. It was just that the smell was too uncomfortable, and her sense of smell was already better than ordinary people.
Ken Swanson clearly smelled it too. He asked Aaron Berg with a sullen face, “What’s that smell inside? Did you make it?”
In the afternoon, Aaron Berg stayed in the apartment after the nanny interview, so Ken Swanson naturally thought that Aaron Berg did it.
Aaron Berg quickly explained, “It’s not me. It should be the nanny who came in the afternoon.”
Ken Swanson frowned in dissatisfaction.
“Your babysitter likes perfume?”
“No, it shouldn’t be the nanny’s. It’s the daughter she brought over. She said that her daughter had just arrived at Insterimond. She was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to find her way, so she brought her over first for the interviewer. But don’t worry, I’ve already warned her that she won’t bring her daughter over next time.”
“Then why don’t you open the window and get some fresh air?”
“I…-I didn’t notice…”
Melody Fox saw Ken Swanson’s expression change and tried to ease the atmosphere. “Alright, you can’t completely blame her. A person’s sense of smell will get used to it.”
Aaron Berg interviewed the nanny for at least 20 minutes. He was already used to the smell, so he naturally ignored the smell in the air.
This was understandable.
Only then did Ken Swanson’s expression become less ugly.
But still: “Open all the windows for ventilation.”
“Yes!”
Aaron Berg immediately walked in and opened the window. He also turned on the air purifier in the house and even used the air circulation function of the air conditioner.
But even so, the smell had not dissipated completely.
Melody Fox teased, “If only those big brands could learn the endurance of this perfume.”
Ken Swanson pointed it out. “If it lasts this long, how long will it take for a bottle of perfume to run out?”
“…That seems to make sense.”
The interlude passed quickly. The two of them had been busy the entire day and were a little tired, so nothing happened that night.
On the other side……
In Silverlake.
Mabel Fox had arrived at the restaurant early, so she had waited for Ulric Swanson for a long time.
However, almost a full hour had passed since they had agreed to meet, yet Ulric Swanson hadn’t shown up.
Mabel Fox could not help but feel a little anxious. She could not help but call Ulric Swanson.
But the robotic female voice on the other end of the line reminded her, “The number you have dialed is unavailable…”
Mabel Fox’s brows were knitted together.
In addition to the time she had waited in advance, there were already almost three hours she is sitting there. In the middle, the waiter refilled the water three times.
The third time, the waiter even urged her to order. In the end, not only did Ulric Swanson not appear, but he even turned off his phone?
What was the meaning of this?
Obviously, she felt that she had been sitting there for too long and the waiter wanted her to leave.
“My boyfriend will be here soon. Don’t worry, even if he doesn’t come, I won’t skimp on your water bill!”
Only then did the waiter leave.
After the waiter left, Mabel Fox made another call with an ugly expression. The same cold mechanical female voice told her that Ulric Swanson’s phone was still switched off. “Damn it…”
What was Ulric Swanson doing? Since he did not want to see her, why did he arrange to meet her in this time?
Could it be that she really didn’t have any weight in his heart?
Mabel Fox’s expression changed again and again.
She forced herself to wait for another half of Fox. Finally, she could not wait anymore.
However, just as Mabel Fox was about to settle the alcohol bill, the door of the private room suddenly opened.
Mabel Fox’s eyes were filled with joy as he turned around excitedly.
However, what entered her eyes was an assistant under Ulric Swanson, Daniel Townsend.
The smile on Mabel Fox’s face froze.
“Hello, Miss Fox,” Daniel Townsend greeted with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on Mabel Fox’s strapless evening gown.
Mabel Fox’s figure was very hot, and her upper body was even more impressive.
Wrapped in the gown, it was almost obvious. Daniel Townsend’s throat tightened.
Mabel Fox had always had a bad impression of Daniel Townsend. After sensing his gaze, her heart immediately felt like it was in turmoil.
She asked in disgust, “Why is it you? Where’s Ulric?”
Daniel Townsend came back to his senses. He rubbed his hands and sat down beside Mabel Fox.
“Miss Fox, I’m really sorry to have kept you waiting. Young Master suddenly had something to do and flew to Insterimond, so he specially asked me to come over to accompany you for dinner and express his apology.”
Mabel Fox held back her disgust and asked, “Why didn’t he tell me that he flew to Insterimond? He clearly promised to have dinner with me.”
Daniel Townsend was still chuckling.
“Isn’t this because it happened too suddenly? Otherwise, Young Master would definitely not break his promise.”
Mabel Fox suppressed her anger and asked, “What happened? Why did he suddenly fly to Insterimond?”
“Well… Young Master naturally went to Insterimond because he had something important to deal with.”
Mabel Fox could not help but feel a little uncomfortable when she thought about how Melody Fox was also in Insterimond.
The reason was that Ulric Swanson seemed to care a lot about Melody Fox.
Although she knew that Ulric Swanson would never be as blind as Ken Swanson to like Melody Fox, just caring about Melody Fox’s existence was enough to make her unhappy.
“Daniel Townsend, answer me honestly. Did Ulric Swanson’s trip to Insterimond have anything to do with Melody Fox?”
“Hehe, Miss Fox, you think too highly of me. I have no right to ask about what the young master wants to do. If you ask me, I don’t know either. It’s already so late. You must be hungry, right? I’ll eat with you now.”
As Daniel Townsend spoke, he raised his voice and shouted, “Waiter! Order!”
“No need!” Mabel Fox said coldly, “I’m not hungry. If you want to eat, you can eat by yourself. I’ll go back first.”
She could tell that this Daniel Townsend was not telling the truth.
As Ulric Swanson’s right-hand man, how could he not know why Ulric Swanson went to Insterimond?
He just refused to tell her.
Since that was the case, why did she waste her time with trash like Daniel Townsend?
Mabel Fox got up and left.
Daniel Townsend quickly caught up.
“Miss Fox, it’s hard to get a taxi now. I’ll take you back.”
Mabel Fox said expressionlessly, “No need. I can go back myself.”
Daniel Townsend stood in front of Mabel Fox.
“I’d better send you back, Miss Fox. You’re dressed so beautifully. I’m really worried about you going back alone!”
Chapter 1107
As Daniel Townsend spoke, he looked at Mabel Fox wantonly.
Mabel Fox’s stomach churned again.
Some people could make people feel disgusted just by looking at them.
She took two steps back and glared at Daniel Townsend. “I order you to disappear from my sight immediately! I don’t want to see you!”
“Miss Fox, you’re being too polite. We’re all on the same side. Why are you so resistant to me?”
As Daniel Townsend spoke, he took a few steps closer to Mabel Fox and lowered his voice. “Miss Fox, you know how Young Master feels about you. He’s a cold person by nature, but I know many of his preferences. Perhaps we can work together to make Young Master happy.”
“What do you mean?”
“Hehe, Miss Fox, you’re a smart person. Why do you need me to make it so clear? As long as you’re willing to accompany me once, I’ll tell you a little about the young master. How about that?”
Mabel Fox felt disgusted.
If Daniel Townsend wasn’t someone from Ulric Swanson, she wouldn’t even look at him.
However, it was undeniable that Daniel Townsend’s words did move her.
Because she knew very well that Daniel Townsend was indeed useful to her.
After all, Daniel Townsend was deeply trusted by Ulric Swanson. Moreover, he had followed Ulric Swanson a long time ago. Naturally, he knew a lot about Ulric Swanson.
It was just that this man was really hard for her to accept! Daniel Townsend saw that Mabel Fox was starting to waver, so he decided not to press her. Instead, he took a step back and said, “Don’t be in a hurry to answer me. It’s not too late to talk to me about this when you need my help someday. How about it? I believe you will need me one day.”
Mabel Fox gritted her teeth. In the end, she endured her disgust and said, “I’ll consider it. Disappear from my sight first.”
Daniel Townsend chuckled and said, “Alright, then Miss Fox… Let me know when you go back so that I can report to Young Master that you’ve returned home safely.”
“I know. Just go.”
The most important thing now was to get out of this predicament.
“Alright, then I’ll go back first. Miss Fox.”
Daniel Townsend smiled and walked to a car not far away, and drove away.
Mabel Fox watched as Daniel Townsend’s car disappeared at the entrance of the street. Only then did her tense nerves relax.
Similarly, she also felt a deep sense of humiliation.
This guy who caused her death actually dared to have designs on her.
When she married the Swanson family, the first thing she would do was to teach this guy a lesson.
Coincidentally, a taxi drove over. Mabel Fox waved to stop the taxi.
As soon as she told the driver the address, her phone rang. It was Ulric Swanson.
Mabel Fox’s eyes reddened. At this moment, she finally found her home.
“Ulric…”
Her voice had a strong nasal tone, making Ulric Swanson, who was on the other end of the phone, show rare concern for her.
“What’s wrong? What happened? Who bullied you?”
“It’s none other than……”
However, the words “Daniel Townsend” were stuck in her throat for some reason.
Similarly, Daniel Townsend’s words kept repeating in her mind.
One day… would she have to use Daniel Townsend?
Mabel Fox’s mind quickly ran through the few times she had interacted with Ulric Swanson, as well as how many times Ulric Swanson had rejected her intimate contact.
This made her suddenly calm down.
Once she told him about Daniel Townsend, would Ulric Swanson kill Daniel Townsend for verbally harassing her? She wasn’t sure. She really wasn’t.
She did not even know if she was more important to Ulric Swanson or her subordinate, Daniel Townsend.
Mabel Fox’s heart gradually turned cold.
“Mabel???”
On the other end of the line, Ulric Swanson saw that Mabel Fox was silent and asked again, “What happened? Who bullied you?”
Mabel Fox gritted her teeth and made her decision.
She would not agree to Daniel Townsend so easily. Her first time in life would definitely be left to Ulric Swanson.
However, in the future… what if she really needed to use Daniel Townsend one day?
Ulric Swanson was unwilling to reveal anything to her, but Daniel Townsend could.
Daniel Townsend must know a lot about Ulric Swanson.
She gripped her phone tightly and suddenly said, “What do you think? Of course, it’s you… You clearly promised me that you would have dinner with me. But why did you only send Daniel Townsend?”
On the other end of the line, Ulric Swanson was silent for a moment before he said, “I’m sorry. I also want to have dinner with you, but something happened. I have to rush to Insterimond. Because it happened so suddenly, I forgot to tell you… I just arrived at Insterimond not long ago. I’m really sorry. When I come back, I’ll definitely have dinner with you.”
Mabel Fox could not help but ask, “What exactly happened to make you rush to Insterimond?”
“This… is official business related to the Swanson Group.”
Mabel Fox knew from his hesitation that he was not telling the truth.
She pursed her lips hard and deliberately asked, “Then should I come to Insterimond to look for you?”
“No need,” Ulric Swanson rejected without hesitation. “It’s not convenient for many people to know that I’m here. Besides, I’ll be back soon. Just stay at home and wait for me.”
Mabel Fox clearly knew that Ulric Swanson would reject him, but when she really heard that he did not want her to go over, her heart still turned cold.
She forced a smile and said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you at Silverlake. Let me know as soon as you come back. I’ll come and find you.”
“Well…”
Ulric Swanson replied perfunctorily. Then, he suddenly asked, “By the way, you said that you had something to tell me about Professor Ander Morgan today. What is it?”
Mabel Fox smiled bitterly in her heart.
He forgot to tell her before he left, but he remembered Professor Ander Morgan.
To whom? To what extent did he place her in his heart?
She tried her best to control her emotions and said. “I’m going to participate in Professor Ander Morgan’s laboratory assessment next week. I wanted to talk to you about this. I’m really nervous…”
“There’s no need to be nervous. I believe you. Don’t worry, I’ll get Daniel Townsend to help you investigate quietly later. As for what the assessment is about, it’ll allow you to be prepared in advance.”
Mabel Fox’s eyes lit up.
“Yup!”
“Alright, I still have something on here, so I won’t talk to you anymore. I’ll contact you after I’m done. Stay at home and prepare for the assessment this week.”
“Okay…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Ulric Swanson had already hung up.
Mabel Fox felt disappointed again.
Soon, the taxi stopped in front of the house.
Mabel Fox paid and got out of the car. When she was about to enter, she suddenly stopped.
She paced back and forth at the door a few times. Suddenly, as if she had made up her mind, she walked to the roadside and called Daniel Townsend.
Daniel Townsend picked up almost instantly. The next second, he smiled and asked despite knowing the answer, “Miss Fox, why are you looking for me?”
Chapter 1108
Mabel Fox observed her surroundings. Seeing that there was no one else around, she said bluntly, “Daniel Townsend, stop pretending. I can promise you, but not now. But I need you to show some sincerity in ‘cooperating’ with me. Otherwise, how can I trust you?”
After some noise, Daniel Townsend fell silent again, as if he was deliberately avoiding people.
He said, “Didn’t you want to know why Young Master suddenly went to Insterimond?”
Mabel Fox’s eyes lit up, but he asked calmly, “Why did he go to Insterimond? And in such a hurry. Is it related to Melody Fox?”
Daniel Townsend chuckled and said, “Young Master wouldn’t go so far as to make a special trip for that girl. Although his leg is slowly recovering, the long journey isn’t very beneficial to him.”
“Then tell me, what was he doing there?”
“Young Master is going to Insterimond to find a Mr. Ge to treat his illness.”
“Mr. Ge? Who is this person?”
“Mr. Ge is the President of the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce. His name is Ge Pingchuan. Young Master’s life in the Swanson Group is not easy now, but if he can have Mr. Ge’s support, the probability of him inheriting the Swanson Group will increase.”
Although Mabel Fox did not know Ge Pingchuan, she knew the name of the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce.
A long time ago, the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce was almost on equal footing with the Swanson Group.
However, later on, the Swanson Group developed even faster, so it could be considered to be slightly inferior to the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce.
With the support of the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce, it would indeed be of great help to Ulric Swanson.
“But Mr. Ge is sick now. What’s the use of Ulric Swanson going over?”
“Although Young Master and I don’t know medicine, Young Master has a trump card under him now. Her medical skills are superb and she’s confident that she can treat Mr. Ge. Young Master’s leg was also treated by this doctor.”
“I see…”
After knowing Ulric Swanson’s past goal, Mabel Fox’s heart was slightly soothed.
Since it was for the sake of inheriting the Swanson Group in the future, it was indeed much more important than having dinner with her.
If she had known this would happen, she would not have looked for Ulric Swanson to cry.
She did not know if her call would make Ulric Swanson feel annoyed.
In the future, she has to pay more attention to her words and actions.
Although Russell Fox’s words were unpleasant, he was right about one thing. For a man of Ulric Swanson’s status, he would definitely prefer a gentle and obedient woman. She was silent for a moment before saying, “Alright, I understand. Thank you for revealing it to me.”
“No problem, no problem. I wonder if Miss Fox, can fulfill your promise and ‘cooperate’ with me?”
The so-called cooperation was just to accompany him in bed.
Deep disgust surfaced in Mabel’s eyes.
She did not hide anything and said bluntly, “I’ve said it before. I can satisfy you once, but not now. My first time must be dedicated to Ulric Swanson, not you. Otherwise, what’s the point of working with you?”
Daniel Townsend clicked his tongue as if he was dissatisfied.
But he quickly suppressed this trace of dissatisfaction.
After all, if Ulric Swanson knew that Mabel Fox had given it to him for the first time, with his young master’s temper, he would probably lose everything he had now.
Although he was a woman, he was not a brainless lecher. “Alright, let’s do as you say. I can wait.”
He would only enjoy it more if he had expectations.
Mabel Fox suddenly realized that the reason why she and Ulric Swanson did not get what they wanted was because there were too few opportunities.
She deliberated over her words and said to Daniel Townsend, “Ulric Swanson is still unwilling to touch me. If you don’t want to wait for a long time, you have to find a way to help me. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Hehe, no problem. When the young master comes back, I’ll arrange it for you. However, if you succeed, don’t forget what you said today. I, Daniel Townsend, hate people who burn bridges the most.”
“Don’t worry, I’m not that kind of person.”
After Mabel Fox finished speaking, he cut off the call without wasting any more time with Daniel Townsend.
She put the phone in her pocket and sneered in her heart.
Did this Daniel Townsend really think that she was a woman that could be obtained so easily?
Once she held onto Ulric Swanson’s heart, she would immediately think of a way to kill him.
This trash wanted to get her?
Not even in the next life!
The reason why she agreed so readily was because she had made up her mind to go back on her word from the beginning.
She was just using Daniel Townsend’s feminine charm.
Mabel Fox was in a good mood. Just as she was about to turn around and go home, she heard Le Qing’s voice not far away-
“Mabel?”
Mabel Fox was shocked and subconsciously turned around.
Le Qing was wearing tight sportswear. It was obvious that she was running at night.
She did not know if Le Qing had heard her conversation with Daniel Townsend. She felt dissatisfied and nervous.
However, it was not until Le Qing walked over with a calm expression that Mabel Fox heaved a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Le Qing did not hear her conversation with Daniel Townsend.
Otherwise, with Le Qing’s personality, her disgust and dissatisfaction with her would be directly displayed on her face.
“Qingqing, what a coincidence. Are you running alone at night?”
“Yes.” Le Qing nodded and asked, “Why are you standing at the door and not going in?”
“No… I just received a call and was about to go in.”
“I see.” Le Qing nodded and did not ask further. She only said, “Do you know that your cheap sister is in the limelight again today?”
Mabel Fox was annoyed when she heard about Melody Fox, especially when Le Qing said that Melody Fox was in the limelight again.
However, in front of Le Qing, she still had to continue to maintain her image as a kind and innocent Little Hundred Flower, so she could only suppress her disgust and say, Isn’t that good? By the way, what’s wrong with her today? Didn’t she finish her exam yesterday?”
“What’s wrong with you? Haven’t you been online recently? The Internet is filled with news about her.”
Mabel Fox smiled and said, “Aren’t I preparing for Professor Ander Morgan’s laboratory assessment? I’ve been a little slow recently and have been buried in a pile of books. I went out just now because I had dinner with someone.”
“No wonder… Forget it, if you don’t know, I’ll tell you directly. She might be addicted to being in the limelight. She was clearly accepted, but she still took another exam today.”
Mabel Fox felt frustrated when she heard that.
She suppressed her emotions and asked, “What exam did she take again? Medicine?”
“She knows medicine?” Le Qing asked in surprise.
Mabel Fox regretted mentioning this.
What if Le Qing felt that Melody Fox’s ability was really outstanding, even more outstanding than hers?
She did not want to lose Le Qing, her useful “best friend.” Therefore, Mabel Fox quickly considered his words and said, “She learned her medical skills from a barefoot doctor in the countryside. I was just curious and asked. By the way, what subject did she take the exam for?”
Le Qing’s attention was quickly diverted.
She said quickly, “She took the Halcyon painting test. I don’t know where she learned Halcyon’s painting from, but I took a look at the painting she drew. To be honest, it’s actually better than the ones we especially learned from Halcyon. Moreover, I heard that 46684 dollars is actually her disciple! Tell me, what exactly is going on!”
Chapter 1109
Mabel Fox was annoyed.
How would she know what was going on!
She also wanted to know where Melody Fox learned those skills.
For so many years, Melody Fox had been raised by Russell Fox in the middle of nowhere.
It was said that the countryside had yet to be connected to the road, and the phone they used was one that had long been obsolete.
Mabel Fox took a deep breath and pretended to be very happy. “I don’t know either. However, although outsiders say that she was ill-treated by my father and was raised in the countryside, it’s actually because her health is poor and the air in the countryside is good. That’s why she was raised in the countryside.
All these years, her father and mother had never criticized her. Moreover, her father often transferred money over and would occasionally hire various famous teachers to guide her. It should be the Halcyon painting that she had learned in recent years.
“However, as a younger sister, I’m really proud that she has such talent.”
Le Qing rolled her eyes in exasperation.
“You’re still proud of her. Has she ever thought about you two? She was clearly nurtured by your father. If she had any conscience, she wouldn’t have let the rumors spread like wildfire. If you hadn’t said so, I would have misunderstood that she was really raised as a village girl in the countryside.”
“How could that be… You can tell from my father’s upbringing that he’s very particular about raising his children.”
“I’ll know when you say that. What genius? What a joke. It’s clearly your father who spent money to build it. When she comes back, I’ll definitely teach her a lesson!”
“Don’t… Leqing, she’s actually not as bad as you think. Who can control rumors?”
Le Qing was furious.
“Mabel, do you know that your kindness will become a sharp knife for her to stab you with?”
Mabel Fox pretended to be aggrieved and lowered her eyes. “I…”
“Alright, alright, stop talking. I’m angry just looking at you! I’m leaving! I’m not like you, born thin. I have to continue running. Don’t persuade me. I won’t listen. I’m leaving!” Le Qing waved her hand and ran away.
Mabel Fox waited until Le Qing’s figure disappeared before a dark expression appeared on her face.
Damn bitch, did she want to be in the limelight?
She had clearly been accepted, but she still had to do such a thing.
Didn’t she know that the tallest tree attracts the most wind?
The higher she climbed, the worse her fall would be in the future!
Mabel Fox did not want to make things difficult for himself, so she simply did not search for Melody Fox’s work and turned around to enter the villa.
Russell Fox sat in the living room.
Mabel Fox could tell at a glance that Russell Fox was in a good mood.
He did not like to drink coffee. Compared to coffee leaves, he preferred coffee.
Of course, he didn’t just like coffee. He felt that drinking coffee was more Western than drinking coffee.
But today, Russell Fox was sitting at a table coffee in the living room, savoring coffee.
Seeing her enter, Russell Fox greeted her first.
“You’re back?”
“Yes, Dad. Drink coffee at this hour. What if you can’t sleep at night? Your health is more important than anything else.”
Faced with Mabel Fox’s concern, Russell Fox felt even more comfortable.
He asked Mabel Fox to sit opposite him and poured her a glass of coffee for the first time.
“You should drink some too. Don’t worry about me. The coffee leaves are good stuff left behind by our ancestors. It’s good for your health.”
Today, Russell Fox received calls from big shots who looked down on him in the past. At night, he went to a famous club to relieve himself. It could be said that his mood could not be any better.
After seeing Mabel Fox take a sip of coffee, he asked, “How was dinner with Ulric Swanson? Is the atmosphere okay?”
“He… didn’t come today.”
“What?!” Russell Fox’s expression instantly turned serious. You guys quarreled? What did you do wrong?”
Mabel Fox felt disgusted.
Russell Fox’s first reaction was that she had done something wrong.
But Mabel Fox had known Russell Fox like the back of his hand for so many years.
His reaction was reasonable.
Mabel Fox had already thought of her words. She lowered her voice and said, “No, we didn’t quarrel. Dad, don’t misunderstand. He left for Insterimond today because he had something very important to do. However, he also asked his trusted aides to accompany me.”
Russell Fox felt a little relieved and asked, “Why did he suddenly go to Insterimond? I heard that Ken Swanson is also in Insterimond… Could something have happened to Swanson’s branch in Insterimond?”
“It has nothing to do with this,” Mabel Fox briefly explained about Ge Pingchuan, the president of the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce.
Then, she deliberately reminded Russell Fox, “This is a secret. Dad, you must not tell anyone. He went out secretly without telling many people. Other than me and a few of his loyal subordinates, no one else knows.”
Russell Fox’s eyes instantly lit up.
It was not that this matter was important to him, but Ulric Swanson was actually willing to tell Mabel Fox such a secret.
This was enough to show how much Ulric Swanson valued Mabel Fox!
Russell Fox could not help but say excitedly, “Mabel, you’ve really picked up a treasure! Mr. Swanson is so sincere to you, you must treat him a thousand times better!”
“I know, Dad.”
Russell Fox continued, “Although your mother has no strengths and has done some wrong things, she was able to give birth to you. It can be considered a huge contribution to the Fox family. I plan to invite Maria Fox back another day and let her enter the family tree!”
Mabel Fox was stunned for a moment before she felt a burst of joy in her heart.
She said all this today to make Russell Fox trust and pay more attention to her. Otherwise, if Melody Fox’s limelight on Insterimond’s side reached Russell Fox’s ears, Russell Fox’s heart that wanted to send Melody Fox home would waver again.
Unexpectedly, there was such an unexpected gain.
The Fox family was not a big family. She did not care about entering the family tree at all.
But just because she didn’t care didn’t mean her mother didn’t care.
She was not a cold-hearted person. Since Yolanda Fox treated her so well, their mother-daughter relationship was still very deep.
Her mother had told her twice when she was alive that Jiang Wilona had entered the Fox family’s family tree, but she could not enter because she was Russell Fox’s second wife.
Now, Mom’s dream was finally about to come true.
Her spirit in heaven should be happy and even more protective of her dream, right?
“Thank you, Daddy. Mommy will be very happy in heaven. However, will Grandma agree to this?”
“She’s my wife. Logically speaking, she can be listed in the family tree. Don’t worry, even if she doesn’t agree, I’ll think of a way to persuade her. Your grandmother is the most soft-hearted person. It’s not like you don’t know.”
“… Yeah.”
Grandma used to treat her well, but everything changed after Melody Fox came back.
Yolanda Fox had poisoned her grandmother when her mother was alive. This matter was probably not as Russell Fox had said.
However, since he had said this, it meant that there was still room for negotiation.
Chapter 1110
Mabel Fox put on a trusting expression and said, “I believe that Dad will definitely be able to do it. You have always been a man of your word. You are my role model.”
Russell Fox started to feel smug as he was being praised.
“Leave this to me! Since I’ve said it, I’ll definitely do it. Don’t worry.”
“Yup!”
“By the way, there’s one more thing. It’s an important matter. I almost forgot to tell you.”
As Russell Fox spoke, he took an A4 paper with various data on it from his right hand and handed it to her.
Mabel Fox took it and looked at it. He realized that the data seemed to be about height, weight, and size.
She had a vague guess in her heart, but she still asked in disbelief, “…This is?”
Russell Fox smiled and said, “It’s some of your uncles. You’ve seen some of them, but you haven’t seen some of them. For some reason, they seem to have discussed it. They all came to me and asked me to help you design a gown for their families.”
“… Why are they suddenly asking me to design gowns? No one has ever asked me to design gowns for them before.”
“I’m not sure either. The Internet is so developed now. Some of your award-winning works were probably suddenly discovered by some netizens. But no matter what, they called me because they saw your talent. You have to design for them well. I’ve already sorted out their requirements for you. Look at it when you’re free. Design it for them as soon as possible.”
“But I have to take part in Professor Ander Morgan’s laboratory assessment next week. There are so many of them… I’m afraid I won’t be able to complete them in the given time.”
Although she did not count how many items there were on this piece of paper, there were at least a dozen of them.
Russell Fox saw Mabel Fox’s troubled expression and said, ” You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve also told them that you might have less spare time to complete their orders. However, they said that there’s no hurry.”
“It’s good that they’re not in a hurry. I can only produce two designs this week.”
“Yes, the one I saw today, you just have to rush for him out this week. As for the rest, you can design according to the order given to you. You just have to come up with the designs. I’ll help you with everything else. Our family makes clothes, so we can produce them very quickly. Just the designs alone won’t take up much room Fox.”
As Russell Fox spoke, he added, “Many of them are people that our family couldn’t make friends with in the past. We can take this opportunity to expand our connections. This will be very beneficial to you, me, and the entire Fox family, including the Justalion Group. You must draw the design carefully, understand?”
“Got it.”
Mabel Fox nodded. She was more happy than annoyed.
Especially when she heard Russell Fox say that these people’s identities were extraordinary, she felt incomparably smug and proud.
So what if Melody Fox was in the limelight in Insterimond?
In Silverlake, she had gained a large number of fashion design fans without doing anything.
Moreover, these people’s identities were extraordinary.
As for Melody Fox, that ugly girl was just a fan of those poor netizens.
Silverlake knew everyone in the circle. It was impossible for them to treat Melody Fox the same way they treated her. No matter how ostentatious and hardworking Melody Fox was, she was destined to be suppressed by her forever!
Hehe, what kind of expression would Melody Fox show when she found out that she had defeated her effortlessly?
The expression on her face would definitely be very interesting!
Mabel Fox was a little impatient just thinking about it. She hoped that Melody Fox would come back soon so that she could tell her this “good news”.
Mabel Fox tried hard to maintain the expression on her face so that she did not look so smug.
Russell Fox continued.
“You have to design more seriously and don’t make any mistakes. I’ll get the designers in the company to help you modify it after you’ve designed it. However, don’t feel too pressured. Since they’ve begged me, it means that they really like your design style.”
“Yes, I know. By the way, Dad, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.”
“Tell me, is there anything between father and daughter that we shouldn’t say? Tell me!”
Mabel Fox quickly organized her words in her heart and said, “Dad, Melody, who broke off the father-daughter relationship with you, wants to take away a lot of shares. A portion of the shares was taken out from my mother. I think that I’m already grown up and can hold my own and help you. Can you let Sister give me a portion of the shares? I can legitimately enter the company’s board of directors and help you share your burden.”
Hearing this, Russell Fox’s expression quickly turned ugly.
It wasn’t because of Mabel Fox, but because of Melody Fox.
The thought of Melody Fox forcefully taking away 20% of the company’s shares with Maria Fox’s help made him extremely frustrated.
He rubbed his temples and waited for his headache to ease before saying, “You know that ingrate’s personality. She took the shares away. I’m afraid it won’t be so easy to return them to us.”
Mabel Fox probed, “I happened to hear you mention it last time. The process of the shares has not been completed. Do you think you can make an issue out of it?”
“I didn’t finish because I deliberately stopped signing.
However, her legal team is pressing on. I’m afraid I won’t be able to delay the transfer for long.”
“Then what should I do? Sister’s heart has already flown outside. Even if she doesn’t give me the shares, she can’t really take them outside, right?”
“I think so too,” Russell Fox said. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, “Perhaps I can pretend to let her return to our Fox family and take the opportunity to take back the shares.”
“That’s a good idea.”
“Alright, I’ll go look for her when I’m done with my work and have some free time.”
“Yup!”
Russell Fox continued, “By the way, I’m almost done with the factory expansion work for the Justalion Group. You should find an opportunity to mention this to Ulric Swanson. If he can settle the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce, I reckon it won’t be as difficult for the Swanson Group as it has been recently. He should be able to speak.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“You must take this matter to heart. Otherwise, if we can’t transfer the funds, we might face bankruptcy!”
Mabel Fox rolled her eyes in her heart.
If they really faced bankruptcy, it would be Russell Fox’s own doing.
Before the collaboration was established, it had already begun to expand. They had also recruited countless employees. Their daily expenditure was huge, and they spent money like flowing water.
It would be fine if he could bear the consequences himself, but the pressure was all on her!
It was obvious that if the collaboration was not established,
Russell Fox would find trouble with her first.
Mabel Fox felt a headache coming on, but she could only agree obediently.
“Yes, I know. When Ulric Swanson returns to the headquarters, I’ll speak to him and will mention our predicament to him immediately.”

Chapter 1111
Russell Fox nodded in satisfaction.
“My dear daughter, I knew you were different from that little bitch outside. You have this family in your heart.”
Mabel Fox pretended to be weak and said, “Mom is gone. Grandma… is not as good to me as she is to my sister. You are the only family member who treats me well. If I don’t side with you, I don’t know who to side with, so I naturally have to listen to you, Dad…”
She secretly pinched her thigh hard, and tears flowed down her face.
Russell Fox’s heart ached.
“My precious daughter, don’t cry. I only acknowledge you as my child now. I know how good you are to me. In the future, when I’m old, everything I’ve worked hard for will be yours. I have high hopes for you, and I believe that you won’t disappoint me.”
“Yes, yes, Daddy. I’ll work hard.”
The father and daughter hugged each other, looking like a loving father and filial daughter.
After chatting for a while, Mabel Fox was afraid that the news of Melody Fox being in the limelight online would continue to spread, so she deliberately gave Russell Fox a heads-up. “Dad, do you know that Sister is also in Insterimond?”
Russell Fox’s expression darkened.
“All right, don’t mention that unlucky thing.”
“No. Dad, I heard that Sister used Ken Swanson as her backer this time to gain a lot of attention in Insterimond. She even entered Insterimond University.”
“What?!” Russell Fox frowned and said, “She’s brainless. Is Ken Swanson also messing around? How can anyone enter Insterimond University?”
“The Swanson family has power and influence. Ken Swanson took advantage of the opportunity of Insterimond University’s special talent recruitment and took the opportunity to put her sister in the gilding. It’s not a big deal. After all, they’re considered one now. They’re bound together for good or ill. Sister went to Insterimond University to gild herself. It’s equivalent to relieving some public pressure on Ken Swanson. It’s just that…”
“Which is what?”
“That’s right… It’s fine if it’s done quietly, but Sister seems to be a little arrogant. She’s showing off this matter to everyone. Yesterday, when I attended Leqing’s welcoming banquet, I heard some bad comments. Everyone is saying that she entered University Insterimond because Ken Swanson found someone to give her the answer. They said that this matter has already been confirmed. I’m afraid this matter will affect your and the Justalion Group’s reputation…
“This stupid thing! It’s fine if you don’t hide such a thing, but you actually dare to use this matter to show off everywhere! How did I give birth to such a stupid thing!” After scolding her, Russell Fox said with a relieved expression, “Fortunately, I broke off my father-daughter relationship with her. Otherwise, according to what you said, our family might really be implicated.”
Mabel Fox nodded and said, “Father, why don’t you find an opportunity to remind Sister when she comes back?” “Why should I remind her? If she wants to dig her own grave, no one can stop her! Besides, we’ve already chosen Ulric Swanson’s side. If Ken Swanson loses power because of this, it’ll be more beneficial to us. Don’t worry about this matter. Don’t call her sister anymore. I only have you as my daughter. It has nothing to do with her!”
Mabel Fox had achieved her goal. There was a faint smugness in her eyes.
She was afraid that she would reveal something if she was too happy, so she simply said, “Dad, I’ll take this piece of paper upstairs first and see if there are any design inspirations today. The earlier I design the gowns on these lists for you, the earlier I can help you.”
Melody Fox was like this, but in fact, she was scheming.
Russell Fox felt that severing his father-daughter relationship with Melody Fox was the best decision he had made in recent years.
He quickly nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll hold you up too. Your time is precious. Hurry up and go up. If you need any help, just let me know. Dad will do his best to help you.”
“Thank you, Dad. I’ll go upstairs first.”
Mabel Fox smiled and took the paper to record the requirements and measurements.
She could feel Russell Fox’s fatherly gaze on her until she went upstairs.
She could no longer suppress the joy in her heart and the corners of her lips curled up.
Whether it was Russell Fox, Le Qing, or Ulric Swanson’s trash subordinate, they were all tools for her to climb up.
However, these people were stupid and did not know it. They were played by her.
How stupid!!!
Back upstairs, Mabel Fox thought about the blank design draft for a long time, but her mind was empty. She had no inspiration.
She frowned and subconsciously turned on her phone to search for Melody Fox’s costume design.
It was undeniable that the work was really eye-catching.
It was the perfect gown.
She was jealous and resentful as she tried her best to calm herself down.
Melody Fox’s gown actually fulfilled the requirements of the lady she met at the cafe. There were many things to learn from.
Thinking about it, that madam definitely did not know about this country bumpkin, Melody Fox. She should not discover it if she used it as a reference.
With this thought in mind, Mabel Fox suddenly had an inspiration and quickly began to draw the design draft.
The night gradually deepened.
At the entrance of a clubhouse, Special Assistant Fang, who was drunk, was helped out by a group of people.
“Special Assistant Fang, be careful on the road. Remember to sober up when you get back.”
“Assistant Fang, please remember to put in a good word for me in front of Old Master Ge.”
“That’s right, Brother Fang. If we can join the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce, we definitely won’t forget the benefits of you, Assistant Fang!”
Special Assistant Fang was drunk and felt a little smug.
In addition, he was conceited, to begin with, so he agreed without thinking. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything!” “Thank you, Assistant Fang!”
“Thank you, Brother Fang!”
At that moment, a black SUV stopped in front of everyone.
Two people wearing sunglasses walked down from the front and walked to the front of the crowd in a few steps, helping them to support him.
“Thank you for greeting our Brother Fang. You can all go back. We’ll bring Brother Fang back safely.”
“Alright, then remember to drive steadily.”
“Alright, don’t worry.”
The two of them smiled and helped Special Assistant Fang over. They carried Special Assistant Fang to the MPV that had yet to be licensed.
Fang Yuan still had a trace of consciousness, he looked at the two unfamiliar faces and asked suspiciously: “You are?” “Brother Fang, how could you forget about the two of us? We’re your bodyguards.”
“But, why haven’t I seen you guys before…”
“Hey, Brother Fang, it seems like you really drank too much tonight. Come, be careful of your feet. We’ll bring you back.
You’ll be fine after a nap.”
Special Assistant Fang wanted to quickly find a bed to sleep in. When he heard this, he did not continue asking and thought that he had really drunk too much.
Hence, he did not hesitate and got into the car with the help of the two of them.
The car door closed with a bang and quickly drove away from everyone’s line of sight. After making many turns, they arrived at a secluded alley.
The two of them politely helped Special Assistant Fang into the alley.
Chapter 1112
“Special Assistant Fang, we’re here. Be careful.”
“Walk slowly. It’s just ahead.”
Special Assistant Fang was helped forward by two people.
The deeper they went, the darker the light became. It was so dark that they couldn’t even see their fingers.
The wind in the alley blew, making Special Assistant Fang sober up.
He opened his eyes in a daze and saw an unfamiliar darkness around him. He finally realized that something was wrong.
“This is…”
Before he could finish his question, his head was wrapped in a sack and he was pushed to the corner of the wall.
“Hiss-“
Special Assistant Fang completely sobered up and gasped in pain.
However, before he could say anything, a series of punches and kicks landed on his body.
“Ah!”
Special Assistant Fang cried out in pain.
She subconsciously covered her head with both hands. “Stop, stop! Do you know who I am?! I’m Fang Yuan! Jingbei Chamber of Commerce’s president, Ge Pingchuan, is my boss, and I’m his special assistant. If you dare to hit me, you’ll definitely die without an intact corpse!”
However, it would have been better if Special Assistant Fang hadn’t said anything. Once he did, the club on his body seemed to have been hit even harder.
“Ahhh!!!!-“
“Who are you? What are you trying to do…”
“Stop fighting! Stop fighting. Let’s talk nicely. I can give you money. I have a lot of money… Ah!”
However, no matter what Special Assistant Fang said, the person who did it had no intention of stopping, nor did he say anything.
Screams filled the alley.
However, the surrounding two streets had long been watched by people. No one would walk in the direction of this alley.
The beating lasted for an unknown period of time until Special Assistant Fang was on the verge of death. Only then did the club on his body stop, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
“Help, help…”
Special Assistant Fang’s voice came weakly from the alley. With every shout, he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his body. However, even though he tried his best to call for help, he was saved by a road cleaner who passed by at dawn. However, even though Special Assistant Fang had already been rescued and was lying on the hospital bed, he still could not understand who had such a huge hatred for him and actually dared to treat him like this.
In Ken Swanson’s apartment……
Melody Fox slept very soundly. She did not know if it was because Ken Swanson was beside her, but she realized that she did not have the habit of waking up at night. She was not as easily woken up by the wind and grass as before.
There was a significant improvement in the quality of sleep. She glanced at Ken Swanson, who was still sleeping beside her. Just as she was about to continue sleeping, she heard the sound of someone walking in the living room outside. The voice seemed to be deliberately soft, but Melody’s hearing abilities were already much sharper than ordinary people due to her master, Quentin Parker’s deliberate training and maintenance since she was young.
She frowned and quietly got out of bed to check on the situation outside.
However, as soon as the door opened, she saw a familiar person.
The woman was wearing a clean plain blue dress and an apron. She seemed to be preparing to cook.
The face with exquisite makeup was indeed familiar, but Melody couldn’t figure out who it was.
“… You are?”
The woman did not notice that the bedroom door had opened just now. When she heard the sound, she was so frightened that she looked in her direction.
However, when she saw Melody Fox’s face, the woman’s eyes instantly widened in disbelief.
“Melody Fox?!”
Melody Fox’s face was too memorable. Even though they had not seen each other for a long time, she still recognized Melody Fox immediately.
However, she could not figure out why Melody Fox would walk out of the bedroom.
“Why are you here?!”
It was Melody Fox’s turn to be surprised.
She frowned slightly, still unable to remember who the other party was.
However, since the other party could call out her name, it meant that they definitely knew each other.
“Who are you?” Melody Fox asked.
Bai Hui was stunned for a moment before she finally recovered from her shock.
“I’m Bai Hui. Don’t you remember me? We played together in the village.”
Melody Fox suddenly remembered that Bai Hui was the girl who led the way in bullying her in the village.
However, after she was adopted by her master, she almost never met Bai Hui again.
As a result, many people in the village thought that she was already dead.
However, when she saw Bai Hui’s attire and the perfume that had finally disappeared yesterday, she frowned even more.
“Are you the nanny hired by Aaron Berg?”
This world was too small!
“I…-I’m not…”
Although Bai Hui did not know why Melody Fox was here, she subconsciously did not want Melody Fox to look down on her. She said, “I’m not a nanny. I’m about to make a movie and become a big star.”
Melody Fox crossed her arms over her chest. She could already see Bai Hui’s inferiority complex and guilty conscience.
She asked calmly, “Then may I ask, since you’re not the nanny we found, why are you at our house? You’re trespassing.”
Melody Fox’s words contained a lot of information. Bai Hui’s eyes, which were already wide open, became even wider.
In fact, she was so surprised that her pupils shrank to a point.
“Y…-you’re the mistress of this house?”
“That’s right.”
“…That’s impossible!” She denied it subconsciously. “How can a person like you live in such a good house?”
The smile on Melody Fox’s face gradually disappeared. Originally, she could pretend that she had made a mistake because she was young and insensible.
However, from Bai Hui’s tone, it was obvious that she had never felt remorse for what she had done.
“What kind of person am I? Why can’t I live here?”
“It’s impossible, you’re impossible…”
Melody Fox was so ugly that she was not even qualified to be someone’s mistress, let alone the first wife.
Everyone liked to bully Melody Fox. Firstly, she was abandoned by her parents in the countryside and no one cared about her. Secondly, Melody Fox was too ugly.
How could she accept the fact that Melody Fox was doing much better than all of them?
However, the bedroom door that was gently closed by Melody Fox opened again.
An extremely handsome face that could withstand scrutiny appeared in Bai Hui’s line of sight.
The man’s face was well-defined, and his facial features were standard handsome looks. His dark eyes were cold and bright. Perhaps he had just woken up, but there was a trace of careless confusion in his cold eyes. He was simply so handsome that it angered both humans and gods!
However, because of the man’s powerful aura, it was obvious that he was noble. Bai Hui did not dare to look at him directly.
Bai Hui had always been confident. This was the first man who made her feel inferior.
Similarly, Bai Hui could also clearly hear her abnormally intense heartbeat.
Such a man standing beside Melody Fox was a huge contrast.
It was the opposing version of Beauty and the Beast.
The female beast and the handsome man.
Chapter 1113
This scene made Bai Hui frown.
Such a handsome man standing with Melody Fox was simply a blasphemy to him and an insult to the eyes of those who saw this scene.
However, in the next second, the handsome man asked Melody Fox gently, “What’s wrong? Who are you talking to?” Bai Hui: “…”
Could he not see her standing here?!
Also, why was he speaking to Melody Fox so gently?
It was unknown if Ken Swanson had heard Bai Hui’s thoughts, but as soon as he asked, he looked up at her.
The moment their eyes met, before Bai Hui could shyly look away, she saw Ken Swanson frown in disgust as if he had seen something disgusting.
How could this be…
Bai Hui’s heart instantly turned cold.
“Who are you? Why are you in our house?”
The moment Ken Swanson spoke, Bai Hui felt an oppressive aura.
Bai Hui was shocked and her brain suffered another shock.
“Our house”?
Could it be…
Melody Fox and his home, right?
Could it be that Melody Fox was really the mistress of this house?
How was this possible!!!
Melody Fox said expressionlessly, “I thought she was Aaron Berg’s nanny, but she said she wasn’t.”
“That’s the thief who forced her way in.” Ken Swanson took out his phone and was about to call the police.
It was a waste of resources to use his own people for such a small matter. He might as well get the police to deal with it.
When Bai Hui saw that Ken Swanson was going to call the police, she immediately panicked.
She quickly explained, “I’m not a thief! Don’t call the police! You’ve misunderstood me.”
Ken Swanson stopped dialing 110 and looked at her indifferently.
Bai Hui hurriedly explained, “I’m an actress. My mother is the nanny you found. But she suddenly had a stomachache today and was a little dehydrated, so she couldn’t come. So she asked me to come over and help her take over the day’s work.”
At the same time, Aaron Berg who had heard the commotion, walked out of the guest room next door.
Aaron, who had just come out, had already heard Bai Hui’s words. After hesitating for a moment, he met Ken Swanson’s questioning gaze and said, “Young Master, she is indeed the daughter of the nanny from yesterday.”
“So, she’s the one who brought that stench to the house?”
“Bad Smell? I…” Bai Hui was halfway through her sentence when she realized that Ken Swanson was talking about her perfume.
It was the perfume she’d bargained twenty bucks for at the stall. She’d loved the scent, but she hadn’t expected it to turn into a “bad smell” in the mouth of this handsome man.
Her face instantly flushed red. She didn’t know what to say. “You can leave,” Ken Swanson said expressionlessly. “I will pay your salary as usual, but you and your mother don’t have to come again. We will find a new nanny.”
Bai Hui’s eyes widened.
“Sir, I was wrong. I won’t wear perfume anymore. Please don’t chase me away. I… My mother really needs this job.” Ken Swanson frowned and said, “Didn’t you hear what I said? I will pay the original salary as usual, so it won’t affect your mother’s income.”
“But since we’ve been paid, we have to do something. If you don’t like the perfume on me, I won’t wear perfume anymore.” Bai Hui’s face was filled with anxiety, and Melody Fox could see some clues.
She looked at Ken Swanson and then at Bai Hui. What else did she not understand?
She pursed her lips coldly and said, “Bai Hui, if you don’t leave, we won’t pay your original salary. I’ll give you 3 Seconds to consider the condition. You can think about it yourself.”
Bai Hui clenched her fists tightly.
Damn, Melody Fox…
She really didn’t want to leave this place, but ten thousand dollars was a huge sum of money for the mother and daughter.
If she lost this ten thousand dollars, she could forget about her mother buying her a smartphone.
Damn it! Damn bitch!
Bai Hui cursed Melody Fox’s ancestors in her heart, but in the end, she could only say reluctantly, “I’ll leave immediately.”
Aaron Berg took a few steps towards Bai Hui and politely chased her away. “Miss, this way please.”
Bai Hui bit her lip and looked at Ken Swanson, hoping that Ken Swanson would change his words because he saw her pitiful look.
However, she realized that Ken Swanson was no longer paying attention to her. Instead, he gently reached out and smoothed Melody Fox’s hair.
“Did she wake you? Do you want to go back and sleep for a while?”
“There’s no need. I’m already awake.”
The two of them spoke with the intimacy that only couples would have.
Bai Hui finally confirmed that Melody Fox was really the mistress of this house.
What right did she have?
What did she do to deserve this?
“Miss?” Aaron Berg coldly reminded her, “You should leave.”
As he spoke, Aaron Berg deliberately blocked Bai Hui’s line of sight.
Bai Hui was extremely unwilling, but she could only bite her lip and leave.
When Bai Hui walked out of the door, Aaron Berg closed the door and quickly turned on the air purifier.
The pungent smell that had finally dissipated after an entire night was now back.
Seriously…
He shook his head, regretting that he didn’t wake up earlier. Ken Swanson also asked Melody Fox about Bai Hui. “You know her?”
Melody Fox had clearly called out the woman’s name just now.
Melody Fox did not deny it and nodded. “She used to live in the countryside. She’s from the same village as me.” Ken Swanson observed Melody Fox’s expression and asked, “Did she bully you?”
Melody Fox did not want to talk about the dark past anymore. She simply shook her head. “No, it’s just that it doesn’t suit my taste. Moreover, those memories, other than my Master’s, it’s not a good memory. So I don’t really want to see her at home again.”
Ken Swanson nodded without hesitation. “Yes, she won’t appear in our house anymore. I’ll get Aaron Berg to make things clear to her mother.”
As Ken Swanson spoke, he looked up at Aaron Berg.
Aaron Berg nodded tacitly and called Bao Chanjuan, the nanny, to tell her that her salary would still be paid, but she should not appear again.
Bao Chanjuan had no idea what had happened.
She was still in the hospital. When she heard this, she was stunned.
However, she quickly realized that her daughter must have angered her boss.
Before Bao Chanjuan could apologize, Aaron Berg had already hung up.
Bao Chanjuan wanted to call back, but when she realized that the other party said that the salary would be paid accordingly, she did not call back in the end.
Just as she was about to call Bai Hui to ask about the situation, the nurse came over.
“Ma’am, the cause of your sudden severe diarrhea has been found. The tests show that your feces contain a large amount of laxatives.”
Bao Chanjuan’s eyes widened.
“How could that be? Did you guys make a mistake?”
The nurse frowned and said, “There’s no mistake. The report is clearly written. Take a look for yourself.”
With that, the nurse threw the report to Bao Chanjuan and turned around to do other things.
Bao Chanjuan took a look at the report and roughly guessed the reason.
With a dark expression, she dialed Bai Hui’s number.
Chapter 1114
However, the call was quickly rejected.
Bao Chanjuan called her daughter again, but Bai Hui’s phone was turned off.
She knew her daughter too well. Seeing that the other party did not even dare to answer the call, she completely understood everything.
This wretched girl was bewitched by the world and wanted to have designs on the owner of that apartment.
She, Bao Chanjuan, was not stupid. How did she give birth to such a stupid daughter?
How could such a family fall for Bai Hui?
Bao Chanjuan was furious, but her limbs were weak. She could only suppress her anger and plan to wait until the drip was done.
Similarly, Bai Hui switched off her phone and continued to hide behind a flower bed downstairs.
She planned to follow Melody Fox!
Originally, it was not that she had to have that man. Moreover, she knew very well that it was very difficult for such a handsome man to fancy her.
However, after knowing that Melody Fox was that man’s wife, she felt that she could definitely do it.
If even such an ugly woman could catch his eye, why couldn’t she?
However, only by knowing yourself and your enemy could you win every battle. She needed to know what was going on with Melody Fox and why he could become that man’s wife.
In the apartment……
Melody Fox directly told Ken Swanson, “There’s no need to find another nanny. Anyway, we won’t be staying here for long.”
“Yes, I’ll listen to you.”
Ken Swanson nodded, indicating that he had no objections.
Then, Ken Swanson asked, “Do you need me to get someone to invite the mother and daughter back to the countryside?”
Melody Fox thought of Bai Hui’s mother, Bao Chanjuan.
Bao Chanjuan was one of the few people who had taken care of her. Although she had only helped to stop those children of the same age who bullied her a few times, Melody Fox still remembered her kindness.
For the sake of those old few times, Melody Fox shook her head and said, “No need. As long as Bai Hui doesn’t provoke us again, let them be.”
Anyway, they were no longer the same kind of people. If not for today’s situation, it would be difficult for them to meet again.
It was fine as long as everyone minded their own business. “Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
“Young Master, I’ve bought breakfast.”
Spencer came over with Melody Fox’s favorite breakfast.
Melody Fox glanced at it. Seeing that it was only for one person, he asked, “Aren’t you eating?”
“TII just deal with it casually on the way. There’s a quarterly video conference at headquarters today. I need to go to the company early to host it.”
“Alright, then if you have time later to come back for dinner after you’re done, I’ll cook for you in advance.”
“Is it too much for you?”
It won’t. I was going to make a supplementary meal anyway to send to Mr. Orrick.”
Melody Fox briefly explained that Orrick wanted to recover as soon as possible.
Ken Swanson nodded. “If time allows it, I’ll try my best to rush back, but I’m afraid I’ll be a little busy today. But after today, we can prepare to return to Room Silverlake.”
“Yes, it’s good to go back early. There are still a lot of things waiting for us at Silverlake.”
“What is it?”
“Have you forgotten that you have your first love waiting for you?”
Ken Swanson’s expression froze.
“She’s not my first love. My first love is YOU.”
Melody Fox pouted. “Nothing is certain.”
Ken Swanson pretended to be angry and glared at her, making Melody Fox laugh.
“Haha, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. My godfather sent me a message yesterday. He’s going to undergo the laboratory assessment next week. He hopes that I can participate in the assessment.”
“Professor Ander Morgan?”
“Yeah.”
“Alright, there are still a few days until next week. I will settle the matters at hand as soon as possible. At the same time, I will gather evidence of Gu worms and let the old man know that the people here are ambitious.”
“Okay! Then hurry up and eat before you leave. It’s not good to eat in the car.”
“Fine.”
Ken Swanson could not dissuade him. He quickly sat down and had breakfast with Melody Fox before leaving.
After Ken Swanson left, Melody Fox went to the storage room and moved the alchemy equipment inside to the kitchen.
Before that, she carefully examined her face.
The red spots on her face had already faded, but they were not obvious.
Detoxification requires a few days to completely heal. Even if her dosage in this life was heavier than in her previous life, it would be effective in three days.
However, if he wanted to have a significant effect and completely transform into someone who was not poisoned, she would need at least a week.
Except…
Melody Fox was a little troubled.
She wanted to give Ken Swanson a bigger surprise, which was to let Ken Swanson see her real face.
However, there will be some changes in two days. How is she going to maintain her current appearance?
Soon, Melody Fox thought of a solution.
Makeup!!!
After coming up with an idea, Melody Fox started refining the medicine in peace.
After two full hours, the potion was completed.
Melody Fox then took the medicinal soup and pills, and she opened the window to ventilate.
Right at this moment, Melody Fox received a call from the police station.
“Miss Fox, it’s me, Kobayashi.”
Melody Fox quickly remembered the other party’s identity. “Director Lin?”
“Yes, yes. The prisoner… said that she had something very important to tell you in person. I didn’t want to talk to her at first, but she said that you were also waiting for her to contact you…”
Melody Fox raised her eyebrows.
It seemed that Jian Huan had thought things through.
It was faster than she had expected.
She nodded and said, “Thank you for telling me this news. I wonder if it’s convenient for me to rush over now?”
“It’s convenient, it’s convenient! I’ll wait for you at the police station Ms. Fox.”
“Okay, I’ll see you later.”
Melody Fox hung up the phone and called Spencer to drive to the police station.
On the way, Melody Fox received a message from Zuo Ye. He asked her if she wanted to send lunch over today.
Melody Fox glanced at the time and estimated that there was still time left to prepare the lunch. She replied, “Alright, I’ll send lunch over at noon.”
Zuo Ye quickly replied with a bunch of words like “Thank you for your hard work”.
However, before Melody Fox could reply, Spencer, who was in charge of driving, suddenly turned his head and said to her, Miss Fox, someone is following us.”
Melody Fox turned around and saw a taxi following them at a moderate distance. Her eyes revealed a suspicious glint.
“When it starts following us?”
“Since we left the neighborhood.”
Spencer explained as he spoke.
Not long after the car drove out of the neighborhood, he actually sensed something amiss.
However, because the other party’s tracking skills were too lousy, Spencer was still wondering if they happened to be on the same path.
Therefore, he deliberately turned around and drove towards a place with few people.
In the end, the other party continued to follow them.
Only then did Spencer confirm that the other party was indeed following them and not making a mistake? That was why he only reported to Melody Fox.
After Melody Fox found out about the cause and effect, a puzzled look appeared in her eyes.
Who exactly was it?
This person still used a taxi to tail her.
Wasn’t it obvious that whoever was following, was waiting for her to discover him/her?
This technique was really clumsy. No wonder Spencer suspected that he had made a mistake.
Chapter 1115
Spencer turned around and asked, “Miss Fox, should we shake them off?”
“No need.” Melody Fox said calmly, “Drive directly to the police station. We’ll look at it when we reach the police station.”
She wanted to see what kind of stupid person was following her.
“Yes!” Spencer replied.
He did not take a detour and drove to the police station on the main road again.
In the taxi……
Bai Hui looked at the car in front of her anxiously and said to the taxi driver, “Sir, drive faster. Don’t lose them.”
The driver turned his head and said, “Young lady, why are you following them? If we follow them… we’ll be discovered if we follow too closely.”
Bai Hui was shocked and quickly changed her words. “Then maintain your current distance and don’t let them discover you. As for why… don’t ask. I’ll pay.”
She could still afford a taxi fare.
The driver shrugged. He was a bastard who only wanted to earn money, so he didn’t waste any more time and followed behind the luxury car in front of him.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of the police station.
Melody Fox quickly walked in and stood at a place where she could clearly observe the outside.
Not long after, a familiar person alighted from the taxi.
“Bai Hui?”
She narrowed her eyes and suddenly sneered.
Even Ulric Swanson did not dare to send anyone to follow her, but Bai Hui did.
Newborn calves were really not afraid of tigers.
She wanted to let Bai Hui go for Bao Chanjuan’s sake, but the other party was reckless and even wanted to provoke her.
“Miss Fox, what are you looking at from here?”
Director Lin had been waiting for Melody Fox. When he saw Melody Fox looking out through the glass window, he walked forward in confusion to ask about the situation.
“Director Lin.” Melody Fox hesitated for a moment. In the next second, she pointed at Bai Hui and said, “She followed me.”
“What?!”
“I’ll have to trouble Director Lin to help me deal with it. I’ll go see Jian Huan first.”
“No problem, leave it to me!”
After Director Lin instructed someone to lead the way for Melody Fox, he led two police officers to Bai Hui, who was looking inside.
Just as Bai Hui was wondering why Melody Fox had entered such a place, she saw three people in uniforms walking straight toward her.
She panicked and subconsciously turned to leave.
However, before she could take a few steps, she was forcefully pressed to the ground.
“Ah-let go of me!”
Bai Hui exclaimed and struggled to ask, “What are you doing? I didn’t do anything!”
Director Lin watched coldly as his subordinates grabbed Bai Hui from the ground and said in a deep voice, “You’re suspected of endangering the public’s safety. Come with us!”
“Danger the public’s safety? No! I didn’t! I’m innocent! Let go of me…”
However, how could Director Lin listen to her explanation? He directly escorted her to the police station.
Seeing this, the taxi driver didn’t care that Bai Hui hadn’t paid and quickly stepped on the accelerator and ran away.
He didn’t earn any money and was even shocked. How unlucky!
In the lounge……
Melody Fox pulled out a chair and sat down in front of Jian Huan.
In just two days, Jian Huan had become so thin that he looked like she had shed a layer of skin. She looked extremely disheveled.
But her eyes were bright.
Without waiting for Melody Fox to speak, Jian Huan said, “I agree to cooperate with you!”
She originally wanted to wait a few more days. She wanted to wait for her parents to ask the main family and see if they would think of a way to get her out of the police station.
However, not only did she not receive help from the main family, but even her biological parents gave up on her and ignored her.
This way, she could finally see the true colors of her family and the main family.
They had never treated her as a person and only treated her as a tool!
Since that was the case, why should she care about their lives?
Since she could not deal with Melody Fox, she might as well help Melody Fox deal with the main family!
One of the enemies on both sides had to die. Wasn’t she living in vain?
Although Melody Fox also had a purpose and was using her like the main family, at least Melody Fox was frank enough.
Furthermore, Melody Fox was her last hope.
She did not want to lose this life-saving duckweed.
Melody Fox saw the determination in Jian Huan’s eyes and nodded lightly. “It’s good that you can think it through. I’ll arrange for you to go out, but you have to think of a good excuse. You can’t let them know that I’m working with you.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already thought about it. I’ll settle these matters myself. Tell me, what do you need me to do?”
“Gather evidence of the crime of the Murphy family’s main family. I want both the past and present. Also, I need concrete evidence that the Murphy family and Ken Swanson’s uncle collaborated in private to bring Ramon Swanson down.”
Jian Huan’s eyes widened in shock.
“You even know about this?”
Melody Fox raised her eyebrows.
“It seems like you know about this too?”
Jian Huan lowered her eyes, but she quickly looked up and said truthfully, “That’s right. The main family doesn’t want to support Ulric Swanson now. It’s Li Ming. That’s Ulric Swanson and Ken Swanson’s uncles. They colluded with each other a long time ago. But at first, the main family didn’t intend to help Li Ming because they still had hope that Janet Murphy could marry Ken Swanson.
“But later, Ken Swanson married you. They knew that it was impossible for Janet Murphy to marry the Swanson family, so they agreed to work with Li Ming. Because compared to Ulric Swanson, they felt that Li Ming was easier to work with. Ulric Swanson… is too scheming. They were afraid that they would fail miserably.”
“Furthermore, their alliance was really consolidated because Janet Murphy was injured by Ken Swanson and something happened to Sid Quant. Li Ming helped, so… also, they taught Janet Murphy disguise techniques.”
Melody Fox narrowed her eyes.
That Mango was indeed fake.
It was indeed related to Janet Murphy.
Melody Fox nodded.
“Alright, I understand. What else do you know?”
“The main family didn’t know that Janet Murphy was working with Ulric Swanson. Even I only found out by chance. Because Janet Murphy initially wanted to find me to pretend to be Mango, but my height didn’t match, so she didn’t look for me in the end.”
“What’s the real identity of the person Janet Murphy is looking for?”
“He’s one of Li Ming’s wife’s subordinates. His name… I can’t remember.”
“Alright, this information is enough. As for the rest, you can do it after you get out.” Melody Fox paused for a moment and asked, “What excuse are you going to find after you get out?”
“The apartment I’m living in now was given to me by an invisible tycoon. I can say that he helped me. Anyway, they can’t contact him. He’s from Europe.”
“Alright, I’ll go and settle the procedures now.”
As Melody Fox spoke, she wrote down her contact number on a pen and paper.
“Contact me in the future and call this number. This is my private number. Not many people know about it.”
“Okay.”
Jian Huan nodded. Seeing that Melody Fox was about to leave, she quickly asked, “Then my illness…”
Melody Fox placed a small brown medicine bottle on the table.
“Eat one every day. After eating it, one session will be over.”
“There’s a second course?”
“Yes, the second course of treatment requires acupuncture.”
