Chapter 1086

The main judge did not expect the problem to be so serious. He hurriedly called for someone to help Jian Huan up.

Coincidentally, the school doctor arrived.

In such a situation, he couldn’t care less about his privacy. After getting the school to turn off the live broadcast, he directly checked Jian Huan.

Not long after, the school doctor found out the reason.

“What’s the situation, Dr. Li? Is, is it a miscarriage?”

Doctor Li shook his head with a complicated expression.

“It’s not that.”

“Then what’s going on? Tell me quickly,” the main judge asked anxiously.

Doctor Li sighed and said a noun.

As soon as this term was spoken, everyone’s expression changed.

The women subconsciously moved away from Jian Huan, while the men’s initial worry turned into disgust.

It was actually because of that unclean illness.

The look of concern in his eyes disappeared, leaving only disgust.

“I really didn’t expect such a clean-looking person to have such an indecent private life!”

“What’s wrong with the school? Didn’t they say that it’s very difficult to get the qualifications for this exam? How can we let such a person take the exam with us?”

“I wonder if it’s contagious…”

“It’s contagious, but only through sex and blood.”

As soon as she said this, the women were so frightened that they immediately moved further away from Jian Huan, as if her body was filled with visible viruses.

Under the emergency treatment of the school doctor, Jian Huan quickly woke up.

When she woke up, she immediately realized that everyone was looking at her strangely. She was shocked.

Everyone… knew?

‘No…’

‘I suppose not.’

However, at that crucial moment, an examinee said, “Hey, why didn’t you say so earlier that you had this illness? Are you trying to take revenge on society and spread it to us?”

Jian Huan’s face turned pale and she subconsciously looked at Melody Fox.

It was her! She must have revealed her secret!

If this secret was known, how would she be able to live in the future?!

Her life had been ruined by Melody Fox!

His anger instantly burned.

Jian Huan pointed at Melody Fox and scolded, “B*tch! You did it! You told them, right?!”

Melody Fox, who had not spoken from the beginning to the end, met Jian Huan’s gaze expressionlessly.

“If you have the nerve to do it yourself, why are you afraid of others talking about it?”

However, these words made Jian Huan even more certain that her illness had been leaked by Melody Fox…

She had learned from Pamela Clark that Melody Fox knew medicine.

This was her secret. How dare she leak it out just like that!

“B*tch! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”

Jian Huan knew that her reputation was completely ruined. There was only one thing on her mind, and that was to perish together with Melody Fox!

From the corner of her eye, she saw a judge holding a fountain pen in his hand. A sharp glint flashed across her eyes.

In the next second, when the teacher was not paying attention, Jian Huan snatched the fountain pen from the other party’s hand. Then, he quickly knocked through the crowd and rushed to Melody Fox. He raised the fountain pen in his hand and was about to stab Melody Fox’s neck.

However, a second before the pen in her hand was about to pierce Melody Fox’s neck, Melody Fox suddenly dodged her attack.

Without waiting for Jian Huan to react, she struck Jian Huan’s wrist with her palm.

Jian Huan subconsciously let go of the pen in her hand in pain, and it fell to the ground.

The teachers also reacted at this moment. One by one, they quickly went forward and pressed Jian Huan to the ground.

“Let me go! Let me go! I want to kill her! I want to die with her!”

Jian Huan’s eyes were bloodshot. Coupled with the blood on her dress, she looked like a man-eating ghost.

Even though the teacher holding her down was very tall and strong, she was still shocked by Jian Huan.

Fortunately, the people from the school’s security department and Fox arrived and tied Jian Huan up.

“Let go of me! What right do you have to tie me up!”

The main judge thought that today’s matter was about to end, but he did not expect such a thing to happen. Things had even developed to this extent.

When he thought about how the classroom had almost become a murder scene, he felt a headache coming on.

His expression was extremely ugly as he said coldly, “Shut her mouth! Call the police!”

“Yes.”

The police arrived very quickly and finally took away the almost crazy Jian Huan.

However, this matter was quickly spread.

In an era where the Internet was developing so rapidly, Jian

Huanran’s unclean illness and the fact that she almost killed innocent examinees in the examination hall instantly attracted the attention of countless people in reality and on the Internet.

“How terrifying. She’s so good-looking and a fair, rich, and beautiful woman. She’s actually a lunatic.”

“How scary! Why would Insterimond University give their exam qualifications to such a person?”

“I saw the live broadcast. I knew something was wrong with her. She didn’t seem to be on her period. She really did have an unclean illness.”

The school’s reputation was affected again.

The school was filled with regret.

In the classroom.

Yannick Frost was asking Melody Fox.

“Master, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Melody Fox shook her head. “I’m not injured. She didn’t even touch me.”

Yannick Frost heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, but then he sighed again.

“I really didn’t expect that there would be a day when I misjudged him and actually took such a person as my disciple!”

“It’s not your fault. You have a lot of disciples. It’s normal for someone to sneak in occasionally.”

Yannick Frost was not comforted. His mood worsened.

….

However, compared to himself, he was more worried about Melody Fox.

“She doesn’t know what’s going on either. Maybe you got first place, but she actually said that she wanted to die with you. It’s scary. You have to be careful. I know Jian Huan. She comes from a good family. I’m afraid she’ll take revenge on you when she comes out.”

Melody Fox shook his head.

“Don’t worry, she can’t take revenge on me.”

“But it’s better to be careful. It’s best to tell Mr. Swanson about this and ask him to send a few people to protect you.”

Yannick Frost knew about the relationship between Melody Fox and Ken Swanson.

But the people around them didn’t know.

So he deliberately lowered his voice.

Melody Fox nodded.

“I know. You don’t have to worry too much about me.”

“There are some things that you shouldn’t be afraid of. You should be careful.”

“Yeah.”

As they spoke, a few teachers from the school came over and expressed their concern for Melody Fox. They also apologized to Yannick Frost.

“I’m really sorry, 46684 dollars. For you to see such a scene, our school is really… I wonder if it’s time to go to the temple to pay our respects. Something bad has been happening these past two days.”

Yannick Frost chuckled awkwardly.

How could he not feel unlucky?

Everyone knew that Jian Huan was his disciple.

Fortunately, with his current status, he no longer cared about what others said.

The dean of the School of Fine Arts looked at Melody Fox.

“Student Fox, I heard that you were also accepted by the Fashion Design Academy?”

Melody Fox nodded and agreed.

The dean’s expression immediately changed, and then he said with a smile, “Student Fox, it’s like this. Our art academy hopes that you can come to our academy. If you can come, if you need my help in the future, just let me know. Moreover, we definitely won’t assign homework to you. You can save a lot of trouble.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded-

Chapter 1087

“Director Chen, your words are too much. Don’t tell me our Fashion Design Academy doesn’t welcome Student Fox?”

“That’s right. All the teachers in our academy are looking forward to Student Fox!”

“Everything is about first come, first served. Classmate Fox was admitted by us first. No matter what, it should be our academy’s turn first, right?”

Melody Fox looked up and saw two people echoing each other. They were the dean of the Fashion Design Academy and Song San, who had always supported her.

She only found out later that Song San had been protecting her under Tang Sina’s pressure.

The professor who proved that her embroidery technique was French embroidery was also called over by Song San.

Therefore, when he saw Song San again, Melody Fox felt a sense of familiarity.

Coincidentally, Song San also looked at her. The next second, when their eyes met, Song San took a few steps forward and asked her.

“Student Fox, I don’t know if you still remember me, but my surname is Song. I’m from the Fashion Design Academy. I was the one who spoke to you yesterday to encourage you. You will come to our academy, right?”

Without waiting for Melody Fox to answer, the dean of the School of Fine Arts interrupted, “Teacher Song, isn’t it too much for you to play such an emotional card?”

Song San laughed. “Director Chen, I’m not playing the emotional card. I’m just asking Student Fox.”

Director Chen shrugged and simply used Yannick Frost as an excuse.

“Student Fox, 46684 dollars has a very close relationship with our academy. If you can come over, you can often see 46684 dollars.”

Song San immediately said, “Isn’t 46684 dollars Classmate Fox’s disciple? If they want to meet, they don’t have to go through your academy, right? You’re still talking about me. Aren’t you playing the emotional card yourself?”

“You-“

Director Chen’s expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said, “In that case, for the sake of fairness, let’s not talk about it anymore. Let Classmate Fox decide for himself!”

Everyone’s gaze fell on Melody Fox’s face.

Melody Fox felt a little awkward.

“-“

Right at this moment, a voice sounded.

“All of you, stop fighting!”

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and saw the principal appear at the door of the classroom.

“Principal.”

“Hello, Principal.”

“Yes.” The principal nodded and handed a booklet to Melody Fox.

“Miss Fox. I specially prepared this for you. Take a look.”

Melody Fox lowered his head and took it. He saw that the booklet was actually a betrothal letter.

She looked at the principal in shock and asked, “You’re…”

The principal explained, “I watched the live broadcast and really admire you. I also know that people from both schools will snatch you. So in order not to make things difficult for you, I simply prepared this letter of appointment. As the principal of University Insterimond, I sincerely invite you to be our school’s special teacher.”

He paused for a moment before continuing, “You can choose to enter one academy and then be a specially hired teacher in another academy. Of course, I know that you have Yannick Frost students. You don’t have to come over often. There are few students. Occasionally, you can come over to give lectures to the students.”

Yannick Frost’s eyes lit up.

“Master, let’s do as the principal says!”

Melody Fox hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

“Okay.”

“Then may I ask which academy you want to become a student of?”

Melody Fox thought for a moment and said, “The Fashion Design Academy.”

She needed the Fashion Design Institute’s gilding to pave the way for the Justalion Group’s comeback.

“Alright! Then please sign it.”

Melody Fox nodded and quickly signed his name.

The teachers of the two academies were relieved.

In this way, no one would suffer a loss!

Perfect!

However, at Fox, the police appeared again.

As the “victim”, Melody Fox needed to go to the police station with them to take a statement.

Melody Fox knew this would happen, so he nodded directly. After bidding farewell to Yannick Frost and the others, he followed the police out.

Zhang Wenwen had long heard about what happened in the classroom from others. When she saw Melody Fox come out, she ignored the two police officers behind her and quickly walked forward to ask, “Melody, are you alright? I heard that Jian Huan stabbed you in the neck with a fountain pen…”

As Zhang Wenwen spoke, she quickly scanned Melody Fox’s neck.

Melody Fox could not help but laugh.

Rumors really did not require any effort to spread.

She smiled and said, “She wanted to stab me, but she didn’t succeed.

I’m unharmed. If you don’t believe me, you can check.”

Zhang Wenwen really did examine her carefully. Seeing that she was really unharmed, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“It’s good that you’re fine. Jian Huan is really a lunatic! You must sue her! If you’re not careful, your life will be gone!”

“Yes, I know what I’m doing.”

The two police officers behind her urged, “Miss Fox, we have to go.”

Melody Fox nodded and said to Zhang Wenwen, “I have to go with them to make a statement and deal with the follow-up matters. I’m afraid I have to skip lunch again today.”

“What does that have to do with anything? We can arrange a meal with Fox.”

“Alright, I’ll take my leave then.”

“Alright, let me know when you’re done.”

“Yeah.”

Melody Fox waved his hand and followed the police officer.

Spencer followed them at a distance and followed Fox to ensure Melody Fox’s safety.

This world was really full of hidden dangers!

If he had known this would happen, he would have sneaked into the classroom!

On the other side.

At Ximber Tech headquarters…

“Done,”

Ming Yiheng stood up from his chair and said expressionlessly, “It’s settled.”

“It’s settled?”

Vice President Fu asked in disbelief, “We’ve been troubled for a few months, and you solved it with a little time?”

Ming Yiheng asked in confusion, “It’s not that difficult. Do you actually need a few months?”

The vice president’s lips twitched awkwardly as he turned to look at Ken Swanson,

Ken Swanson’s expression did not change much. He only said calmly, “Activate the main control room and check if there are any more problems with the product.”

“Yes!”

The vice president nodded and quickly left.

Soon, the vice president returned.

He first looked at Ming Yiheng with a complicated expression before reporting to Ken Swanson, “Mr. Ramon, all the products are operating normally. None of the experimental products have any previous problems.”

In other words, Ming Yiheng had really solved the problem that had troubled them for a few months with just a small Fox.

It was an eye-opener for him!

Ken Swanson nodded.

“Yes, I understand. Inform the others to immediately update the core codes of all products. Then, we can begin to deal with the new product launch.”

“Yes!”

Vice President Fu left happily.

“Student Ming, you’ve worked hard.”

As Ken Swanson spoke, he took out the check that he had prepared in advance and handed it to Ming Yiheng.

“Here’s your reward.”

Ming Yiheng didn’t even look at the check and said faintly, “You signed a contract with me. It’s my duty to do these things, so there’s no need to pay me. Moreover, I came here on account of Melody Fox. Even if you want to give it to me, it should be her.”

Chapter 1088

As soon as he finished speaking, Ken Swanson’s eyes turned cold.

They were both men. How could he not see that Ming Yiheng treated Melody Fox differently?

However, he did not know when Ming Yiheng’s feelings started. Did Fox know?

However, Ken Swanson’s expression returned to normal in an instant.

He said, “Student Ming, you’ve helped me a lot this time. I haven’t held a wedding since I got married to Melody. However, I plan to find Fox rooms to hold the wedding this year. At Fox, I hope Student Ming will do me the honor of attending.”

This was a clear reminder to Ming Yiheng that he was already married to Melody Fox. Melody Fox could only be his.

Although this was a little childish, this was the best way to kill someone.

Sure enough, Ming Yiheng’s expression instantly turned ugly.

He looked up at Ken Swanson.

As they looked at each other silently, the two men seemed to be engaged in a war without smoke.

However, Ming Yiheng still lost in the end.

Seeing that there was no one around, he narrowed his eyes and said, “Mr. Ramon, can I ask you a question?”

“Ask away.”

“Do you really like her?”

Ken Swanson answered without hesitation, “Yes.”

“But someone of your status should marry a rich lady, right?”

“In my eyes, she’s more perfect than any noble daughter.”

“Then can a person like you promise to treat her like this for the rest of your life?”

“A person like me?” Ken Swanson pursed his thin lips and asked, “May I ask what kind of person a person like me is?”

“I’ve more or less heard some rumors about you. Your brother’s leg… was caused by you, right?”

Ken Swanson did not explain. He only said, “Seeing is believing, hearing is believing. Don’t you understand this logic, Student Ming? Moreover, no matter what kind of person I am, it doesn’t affect my love for her.”

Ming Yiheng choked and said, “Then please treat her well. She’s a very good person. I don’t want to see her let down by anyone.”

He had no parents since he was young. Melody Fox was the first to encourage him, saying that he would definitely shine in the future.

Her words undoubtedly gave him great the courage to face the future.

To him, she was his light.

If Ken Swanson dared to let Melody Fox down, he would not let Ken Swanson off even if he was weak!

“Hehe, you don’t have to worry about this, Student Ming. Student Ming is still a student. The most important thing now is to do your studies well and achieve a career.”

“I will.” Ming Yiheng said coldly and turned to leave.

Ken Swanson stared at Ming Yiheng’s back. The coldness in his eyes was unclear.

Was his Melody still coveted by other men?

If he could, he really wanted to hide her from everyone.

But he loved her, so he wouldn’t do those things that restricted her freedom.

At Fox, his phone rang.

It was Spencer.

Ken Swanson frowned and quickly picked up the call.

“What’s the matter? Is something wrong with Melody?”

“Yes, sir. There’s been some trouble at the school, but don’t worry, Miss Fox isn’t harmed in any way.”

“What exactly happened?”

Spencer briefly explained what had happened.

A cold glint appeared in Ken Swanson’s eyes.

Jian Huan?

These people were simply courting death!

“Which police station are you at? I’ll go over now.”

Spencer quickly gave him an address. Ken Swanson picked up his coat from the hangar and walked out.

….

At the police station, Melody Fox was making a statement.

This was a very complicated matter. Many details needed to be explained very clearly and needed to be confirmed many times.

Moreover, Melody Fox vaguely felt that the other party seemed to be deliberately guiding her to say something beneficial to Jian Huan.

Needless to say, Melody Fox guessed that Jian Huan’s family must have done something behind the scenes.

So much so that she was already half a Fox years old. She had not even finished half of her statement.

Coincidentally, at Fox, a middle-aged man in a police uniform walked in with a smile while rubbing his hands.

“Hello, Chief!”

The police officer who took Melody Fox’s statement immediately stood up and saluted.

The director nodded and looked at Melody Fox politely. “Miss Fox, you’ve worked hard. Come out and drink some water first. I don’t know what these guys are doing. They didn’t even pour you a glass of water. I’ll punish them later!”

Melody Fox did not know why the other party’s attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn. He said calmly, “No need. It’s not too late to drink water after we’re done.”

“Well…”

The director felt that other than Melody Fox’s displeasure, he glanced at his subordinates and asked, “But they were rude to you?”

“I don’t care if it’s polite or not. All I want is justice.”

“What do you mean?”

Melody Fox said expressionlessly, “I was almost killed by Jian Huan. Attempted murder is a criminal responsibility. But your people seem to be deliberately relying on civil disputes.”

The police officer almost jumped up.

“Hey! Don’t talk nonsense! I didn’t…”

“Shut up!” The director interrupted the man coldly and scolded, “Idiot! Get out!”

The subordinate gritted his teeth and walked out unwillingly.

The director turned around and put on a polite attitude again.

“Miss Fox, I’m really sorry. He’s new here and doesn’t understand many things. But don’t worry, I’ll change your proficiency in a while. I’ll definitely deal with your matter fairly.”

“If that’s the case, it couldn’t be better.”

If she continued to let that person take her statement, this matter might really become a civil dispute.

She did not intend to let Jian Huan escape this matter easily.

Only under heavy pressure would Jian Huan make the right choice.

The director’s smile became even more benevolent.

“Then let’s take a break first. Shall I treat you to a glass of coffee in my office? It just so happens that a friend of yours is here.”

“Friends?”

“You’ll know when you go with me.”

Melody Fox thought that since this was the police station, no one

would dare to do anything to her there, so he nodded and followed the other party.

The office was on the second floor.

As soon as Melody Fox reached the door, he saw Ken Swanson sitting in the director’s seat.

“Ken Swanson?!”

Ken Swanson stood up and opened his arms to her.

Melody Fox quickly walked over and hugged him back.

“When did you get here?”

“Just now.”

“No wonder…”

No wonder the chief would personally appear and reprimand the police officer who had taken her statement.

So it was because Ken Swanson was here.

Melody Fox suddenly felt a little sad.

She thought that she was strong enough after being reborn, but in the end, she still needed Ken Swanson’s help in the face of power.

However, Ken Swanson seemed to have seen through what she was thinking. He said in a low voice, “We are one. If something happens to you, it means that something happens to me. My power is your power.”

Melody Fox smiled.

Yes, Ken Swanson’s strength was also her strength.

With such a backing, what was there to worry about?

In the end, she was still too used to treating herself as an island and ignoring the power of the people around her.

Chapter 1089

Since she had already made the choice to make Ken Swanson her lover, she should bravely step out of the island she had built for herself.

“Yeah.”

She nodded: “Your power is my power”

Ken Swanson rubbed Melody Fox’s head gently. His gaze returned to Fox, who was looking at the director.

“Chief Lin, she’s a little tired. I’ll look at the statement…”

Director Lin immediately said, “Don’t worry. You’re already half a year old. My people must have understood most of it. We can take the rest of the statements ourselves. There’s no need to trouble Miss Fox.”

The director was a smart person. Compared to the Murphy family, he was naturally on Ken Swanson’s side.

“That’s good. We’ll get going, then. I hope you’ll take care of the prisoner.”

“I’ll definitely do it myself and handle this case well. Don’t worry.”

Ken Swanson raised his eyebrows.

“Then we’ll leave first.”

“Wait.” Melody Fox asked Director Lin, “Can I see her?”

“This…” Director Lin hesitated for a moment before nodding. “No problem. I’ll arrange it now. Please wait a moment.”

“Yeah.”

After Director Lin left, Melody Fox told Ken Swanson about her plan.

Ken Swanson raised his eyebrows slightly.

“You want to use Jian Huan to take down the Murphy family?”

Melody Fox gave him a sidelong glance. “Why? Does your heart ache?”

“Who do I feel sorry for?”

“Janet Murphy. After all, you were childhood sweethearts and comrades who fought side by side.”

“What are you talking about!” Ken Swanson pretended to hit her lightly, but his expression quickly became serious again.

“It’s true, I’ve known her for many years, but she has crossed my bottom line many times. Not only did she target you a few times, but she also collaborated with Ulric Swanson to severely injure Sid Quant. If it weren’t for you, Sid Quant would have died by now. She’s my only good brother. I’ve long taken revenge.

He paused for a moment and said, “It’s just that the Murphy family and the Swanson Group have cooperated a lot. I haven’t found a suitable Fox to take action yet.”

“So what do you think of my plan?”

“The plan is not bad, but I don’t know if it can be implemented successfully. They raised Jian Huan single-handedly. They can’t bear to use Janet Murphy as a chess piece, so many things are handed over to Jian Huan. I’m afraid Jian Huan won’t let go of the Murphy family easily.”

“the Murphy family’s main family has been at odds with her for a long time. Now that she’s sick, they’ve even half abandoned her. Her hatred for the main family is probably not much less than ours. Besides, other than what happened today, I have something else to use against her. I think she’ll cooperate with us.”

“Then give it a try like you said.”

“Alright, I’ll talk to her.”

Not long after, Chief Lin returned.

“Miss Fox, it’s been arranged. Please come with me.”

“Yeah.”

Melody Fox nodded and told Ken Swanson to wait for her here while he followed Director Lin to meet Jian Huan.

Jian Huan had already been treated. The bleeding had stopped, and her condition was barely under control.

However, she was still mentally broken. Her entire face was so pale that it was almost like a piece of white paper.

She was handcuffed to the long table, unable to move.

When she saw Melody Fox, Jian Huan became irritable almost immediately.

“B*tch! What are you doing here? I’m going to kill you!!”

“Shut up! You’ve committed a crime and you still dare to treat the victim like this. I think you want to add another crime!”

“Chief Lin, you don’t have to worry about it. You can go out first. I want to talk to her alone,” Melody Fox said.

Director Lin hesitated for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll wait

outside. If she goes crazy again, follow Fox and call me. I’ll bring someone in immediately.”

“Don’t worry, her hands are cuffed. She can’t do anything to me.”

Taking a step back, even if Jian Huan’s hands and feet were free, she would not be able to move a single strand of her hair.

Only then did Director Lin feel relieved and leave. He even closed the door for her considerately.

The door of the room was soundproof. Melody Fox was not afraid of the sound coming out.

She pulled out a chair and sat down opposite the long table.

Jian Huan’s scarlet eyes stared fixedly at her.

“Are you here to laugh at me? Let me tell you, it’s not that easy! My family will definitely help me. Things can’t go as you wish. I won’t be thrown into prison like this!”

Melody Fox said slowly, “Who said I wanted to send you to prison? If I wanted to send you to prison, I could have watched you make a fool of yourself after you were in prison. I wouldn’t have appeared in front of you now and listened to you call me a b*tch.”

Jian Huan was stunned and looked at her with a frown.

“What do you mean by that?”

Melody Fox was not in a hurry to answer Jian Huan’s question. Instead, he talked about something else.

“Two days ago, after the Green Velvet auction, I went to the Taylor’s family,”

Jian Huan felt nervous.

She swallowed her saliva and looked elsewhere. She asked guiltily, “It’s all in the past. Why are you bringing it up?”

Melody Fox smirked and said, “Doesn’t Miss Murphy know why I mentioned this? the Murphy family used a Gu worm to poison Taylor’s father and son in order to obtain the Green Velvet medicine to cure your illness.”

“But because your relationship with the main family worsened later on, the main family was unwilling to help you get someone to remove the parasite.”

“There’s no other way. You can only find a World Warlock who doesn’t know anything and cheat 464 dollars07 of his support potion.”

Jian Huan’s expression darkened, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

Today’s matter was not a big deal. At most, she would get her family to give her a certificate of mental illness.

However, once the Taylor family was involved, things would blow up.

She and her family would not be able to escape imprisonment.

She braced herself and retorted, “You’re talking nonsense! There’s no such thing!”

“Is that so?” Melody Fox looked at Jian Huan in amusement and said, “It’s okay if you don’t admit it. Take a look at this.”

She clicked on a video on her phone and aimed the screen at Jian Huan.

In the video, the charlatan that the Murphy family had found was confessing in detail how the Murphy family had let him go over to cheat.

Jian Huan’s face darkened as she clenched her fists tightly.

Even when her nails dug into her flesh, she didn’t notice the pain.

After the video ended, Melody Fox spoke again.

“This gentleman is now living in the place I arranged. You won’t be able to find him, and I can get him to testify with Fox. On the other hand, it doesn’t matter if you admit it or not.”

Jian Huan bit her lip hard.

After a while, she finally spoke.

“You already have something on us. Why are you still saying this?”

Melody Fox raised his eyebrows.

“Because I need you.”

Jian Huan frowned and thought about it. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and understood something.

“It’s not me you want to deal with. It’s the main family?”

“Miss Murphy is indeed a smart person.”

Jian Huan looked at her coldly and said, “I know a lot of things about the Murphy family. So you want to use me to take down the main family?”

“That’s right.”

“Heh!” Jian Huan sneered and said, “You’ve ruined my reputation. Why do you think I’ll help you?”

Chapter 1090

Melody Fox put down his phone and said to Jian Huan calmly, “You actually know very well that I’m not the one who destroyed your reputation. When Fox was in the classroom, I didn’t say anything. If I wanted to expose your illness, I could have reported it to the school before the exam started. Why would I wait until your illness acted up? I can’t control the Fox cases where your illness acted up.”

“Not you? Then who!”

“The person who discovered your illness was the school doctor, but the school doctor was also treating you. The person who really caused you to become like this is the Murphy family.”

“If they hadn’t asked you to accompany them to drink and sleep, how could you have contracted such a disease? After you contracted it, they gave up on you. You’re just a sacrifice for them. Why would you continue to help them hide the evil things they did?”

Jian Huan bit her lip hard, her eyes filled with resentment.

She had sacrificed everything for the family and the most precious thing for a girl, but after she fell sick, they treated her like a dirty rag and threw her away without pity!

Melody Fox observed Jian Huan’s expression and continued, “Think about it carefully. Do you choose to continue opposing me and protect the family that you shouldn’t protect, or take a step back and stand on my side?”

Jian Huan was silent for a moment. He looked up at Melody Fox coldly and suddenly laughed out loud.

“Hahahahaha… Don’t think that you can fool me with just a few words. Give up! I won’t help you deal with the main family! Anyway, my life is already over. Why should I help one annoying person deal with another annoying person? Isn’t it better to let you dogs fight each other?”

Hearing this, Melody Fox said calmly, “What if I can help you cure your illness?”

Jian Huan’s eyelids twitched violently, and he subconsciously blurted out, “Are you serious?”

Before Melody Fox could answer, Jian Huan shook her head and said, “Impossible. You’re lying to me. You’re the same as the people from the main family. You want to use me.”

“Does that mean you’re not going to work with me?”

“|… —”

Jian Huan opened her mouth, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t bring herself to say the words “I won’t work with you”.

There was no doubt that compared to Melody Fox’s threat, what she said about being able to cure her shook her more.

To someone who was already desperate, any threat was useless. In any case, she had already given up.

However, when that person found out that he might still have hope, things would be completely different.

Once the flame of hope was ignited, it would form a prairie fire, making people want to continue living.

Jian Huan gritted her teeth and did not speak for a long time.

Melody Fox was not in a hurry. He just waited calmly.

After about four to five minutes, Jian Huan couldn’t help but ask, “Can you really cure me?”

Melody Fox raised his eyebrows.

“Your illness isn’t difficult to treat. It’s not difficult, just a little complicated. As long as I start treating you, your body will return to its original state within a month.”

Jian Huan clenched her fists.

“Why should I believe what you said? There’s no evidence!”

Melody Fox directly took out a sachet from his medical bag and took out a green pill from the sachet. He handed it to Jian Huan.

“What’s this?”

Jian Huan did not take it. She just stared at her and asked.

“It’s a medicine to treat your illness. However, this medicine can only have a preliminary effect. If you want to completely cure it, I’ll have to change the medicine for you every three days. If you can’t, you can take it first. Soon, you’ll feel the discomfort in your body disappears.”

Jian Huan was skeptical.

However, at this point, she seemed to have no better choice but to trust Melody Fox.

Watching them fight would at most make him feel better.

But if she could cure her illness, there was hope in her life.

After struggling for two seconds, Jian Huan raised her cuffed hand with difficulty, took the pill, and swallowed it.

Melody Fox crossed his arms and said, “I can give you three days to consider Room Fox. If you agree to cooperate with me, I will send a new medicine three days later. The effect will be better than this medicine.”

Jian Huan gritted her teeth, feeling complicated in her heart.

She never thought that her life would be entrusted to Melody Fox.

“I’m leaving. Think about it for the next three days. If you agree, I’ll write a letter of understanding and you won’t be imprisoned.”

With that, Melody Fox turned around and left without hesitation.

Outside the door, Director Lin had been waiting.

Seeing Melody Fox come out, she quickly asked, “Miss Fox, she didn’t do anything to you, right?”

Melody Fox shook his head.

“No.”

“That’s good.” Director Lin heaved a sigh of relief and said

ingratiatingly, “I checked on the guy who took your statement while you were busy inside. This guy actually benefited from the family of the person who harmed you. I’ve already reported it. He’ll be fired soon.”

Melody Fox didn’t care about these trivial matters and walked straight to the office.

When their gazes met, Ken Swanson understood what Melody Fox meant: at least more than half of it succeeded.

The two of them said goodbye to Director Lin. When they got into the car, Melody Fox said, “I gave her three days to consider room Fox. She will definitely submit within three days.”

….

“Then I’ll make the arrangements so that she can call us.”

“Yeah.”

Melody Fox responded. It rested its head on Ken Swanson’s shoulder and exhaled softly.

“Ken Swanson, what do you mean by Fox will end with such a scheming day? I really don’t like it.”

“I know, I promise you. Soon a lot will be over.”

“Yeah.”

Ken Swanson held her head so that it wouldn’t slide down.

“You look a little tired. I’ll send you back to the hotel to rest first.”

“What about you?”

“I have to go to the Historical Group’s branch. The cooperation letter with Ou Jing is here. I need to sign it.”

“Alright, then come back early. I’ll cook for you tonight.”

“I’d like that.”

A smile appeared on Ken Swanson’s face. “I want to eat fish today.”

“Then I’ll make you grilled fish? Coincidentally, I accidentally missed my appointment with Zhang Wenwen this afternoon. I’ll invite her to eat grilled fish tonight.”

“It’s not convenient to cook in a hotel. Why don’t we move into my apartment in Insterimond?”

“Sure. Anyway, I don’t need to go to University Insterimond anymore. It’ll be easier for you to work if I move there.”

“Yeah.”

“Then why don’t you come back with me? We’ll leave after lunch. Coincidentally, I made you pasta’s Fox last time. I made a little too much and froze some of the fridge there.”

“Okay.”

Without waiting for Melody Fox to speak, Ken Swanson continued, “Then I’ll cook pasta for lunch. Don’t do it. You look especially tired today.”

Melody Fox smiled and nodded. “Alright.”

She was indeed a little tired, but not because of what had happened today, but because of the medicine she had taken in the morning.

Among those drugs, some herbs had calming ingredients, so people would feel tired.

She rested her head on Ken Swanson’s shoulder and unknowingly fell asleep.

Chapter 1091

When Melody Fox woke up, he found himself lying on an unfamiliar bed.

She subconsciously called out “Ken Swanson” and heard Spencer’s respectful voice coming from outside.

“Miss Fox, sir has already gone to the office.”

Melody Fox was completely awake. After tidying up his clothes, he walked out of the room and realized that this was Ken Swanson’s apartment. Fox was sick. She had cooked for Ken Swanson here once.

Before Melody Fox could ask, Spencer had already explained.

“You were in a deep sleep, so Sir didn’t wake you up and carried you up.

“Yes. What time is it?”

“Half past twelve. pasta is already in the pot with hot water. Do you want to eat now?”

“Now that you mention it, I’m a little hungry.”

群

“Then I’ll get it for you now.”

“Okay.”

Melody Fox pulled out the chair and turned on his phone. Only then did he realize that there were two caller IDs on his phone.

One was an unknown number from Silverlake, and the other was from Zuo Ye.

Melody Fox dialed Zuo Ye’s number first.

Zuo Ye picked it up almost instantly.

“Hello? Miss. I called you just now, but you didn’t answer…”

“I’m sorry, I fell asleep.”

“Yes, yes, it’s fine. I just wanted to ask, what’s your approximate time you’ll come?”

Only then did Melody Fox remember that she had made an appointment with Zuo Ye to visit Orek at the hospital.

She looked at the time and said, “I’m eating now. I’ll come over after I’m done.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Don’t be anxious. It’s more important to fill your stomach first. Your body is more important than anything else.”

“I’m not far from you. About 15 minutes is enough.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you here.”

“Mm. See you later then.”

“See you later!”

Melody Fox hung up the phone with a strange feeling in his heart.

She felt that Zuo Ye seemed to be a little too polite to her.

However, after thinking about it, Melody Fox could only think of one possibility. It was because she was Orek’s savior, so Zuo Ye was so polite to her.

“Miss Fox, pasta is ready.”

Spencer brought pasta over. On a hot day, the temperature of the pasta did not drop much. Coupled with the good insulation, Melody Fox was still a little hot.

Spencer said from the side, “Sir has instructed me to remind you to eat. If you’re not awake at all, let me knock on the door and call you.”

Melody Fox nodded and asked, “Did you take the things in the room next to the hotel where I slept?”

“I took it.”

“Alright, put it in the storage room.”

Ken Swanson generally did not go to the storage room. It would not be discovered if it was placed there.

Moreover, it didn’t matter even if she found out. She only wanted to give him a surprise, not hide it from him.

Moreover, she could say that she was refining medicine for Jian Huan.

The green pill she gave Jian Huan was made in the hotel this morning.

She didn’t lie to Jian Huan. That pill could indeed have a preliminary treatment effect, but just taking it once was far from a complete recovery. It could only relieve the symptoms.

After Spencer moved the items over, he looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

There was something he did not know if he should tell Melody Fox.

If he said it, he would feel like he had betrayed Sir.

But even if he didn’t say it… he still felt like he had betrayed Miss Fox.

Melody Fox was eating pasta when she saw Spencer’s expression change again and again. She could not help but laugh.

In the end, seeing that Spencer still had a conflicted expression, she simply asked, “Tell me, what can’t you tell me?”

Spencer was shocked and blurted out, “Miss Fox, do you know how to read minds?”

Melody Fox said in amusement, “You’ve already engraved the words I have something to say’ on your face. If I still can’t tell, I don’t want these eyes anymore.

Spencer subconsciously touched his face.

“Cough…”

He coughed dryly and said, “Actually, this matter is nothing important. Sir just asked casually.”

“Yes, go on.”

Melody Fox swallowed pasta and looked at Spencer.

Spencer swallowed his saliva and said, “Don’t tell Sir…”

“Don’t worry, your words will never leave this room.”

Only then did Spencer feel relieved.

“Sir asked if Ming Yiheng had any private contact with you. He also asked what you roughly said.”

…Why did he suddenly ask about this?”

“Perhaps you can tell that Ming Yiheng is interested in you.”

“Cough, cough, cough…” Melody Fox choked.

Spencer quickly brought a cup of warm water over.

Melody Fox only recovered after taking two sips.

She patted her chest and said helplessly, “What are all of you suspecting? Is it so easy for me to attract the opposite sex with my honor?”

Spencer said weakly, “Didn’t that doctor First Hospital also…

Melody Fox massaged his temples with a headache.

“You mean Dr. Yu Leyou?”

“Well…”

“He doesn’t like me at all. He loves medicine as much as his life and admires people with good medical skills. He only admires me. He misunderstood and didn’t see his feelings clearly.

“But the way Ming Yiheng looks at you is indeed a little off.

Melody Fox pressed his temples again.

Half a minute later, she said, “Alright, since so many of you have misunderstood, I’ll find a room Fox to talk to him another day.”

“Ah? This… this isn’t too…”

“Don’t worry, I won’t say it directly. In order to reassure you, I can at least test him, right?”

Spencer nodded. “That’s fine.”

Melody Fox was truly helpless.

After finishing a bowl of hot pasta, Melody Fox felt much better.

The feeling of exhaustion from the morning was also disappearing.

“Let’s go and get the car ready. We’re going to First Hospital to see Mr. Orek.”

“Yes!”

Spencer did not dare to say anything else. He quickly took his car keys and prepared to drive to the basement.

However, just as Spencer opened the door, he realized that Aaron Berg was about to enter.

Melody Fox also saw Aaron Berg.

She asked in confusion, “Why are you back? Where’s Ken Swanson?”

‘Sir’s still at the office. He sent me back to interview a nanny.’

“What nanny?”

“Sir said that you guys will be staying in Insterimond for a few more days, so it’s better to find a nanny to take care of you and Sir’s daily life. That way, you won’t have to cook every day. Besides, Spencer and I are not good at housework, so…”

Melody Fox understood.

She nodded and asked, “Where’s the nanny?”

“They should be here soon.”

Melody Fox looked at Room Fox and said, “I have to go to the hospital to prescribe a prescription for Mr. Orrick. Since you’re back, I’ll leave the interview to you. I don’t have any other requests. I’m honest, down-to-earth, and willing to do things. Just don’t have any crooked thoughts.”

“Yes, Miss Fox. Don’t worry, I’ll check it myself.”

Chapter 1092

What Melody Fox said was exactly what Ken Swanson instructed.

Although he was only looking for a babysitter with Fox rooms, he still had to be careful.

“Alright, I’ll be leaving then.”

Melody Fox was about to leave when Aaron Berg suddenly said, “Miss Fox!”

Melody Fox stopped in his tracks and turned to look at him inquiringly.

Aaron Berg hesitated for a while and seemed to have made up his mind before saying, “Miss Fox, there are some things that I know I’m not qualified to tell you with my status, but after thinking about it, I still have to tell you.”

Melody Fox turned around and nodded. “Yes, go ahead.”

“I hope you can be nicer to him.”

“Huh?” Melody Fox was confused. “Why do you suddenly say that?”

“I know that Student Ming likes you. He’s indeed very outstanding, but our Sir is also an outstanding person. Moreover, Sir treats you with all his heart. If you do anything to let him down one day, forgive me for not being able to be so respectful to you.”

The corner of Melody Fox’s mouth twitched.

After a few seconds, Melody Fox said, “You two, what’s going on? Why do you have such a big misunderstanding about me? I’m really not as charming and likable as you think.”

Aaron Berg looked at her in shock.

“Don’t you know?”

“What?”

“Ming Yiheng personally said that he likes you. Moreover, he asked our Sir not to let you down. Otherwise, he won’t let him off.”

“… Are you kidding me?”

“I’m not joking. How could I dare to joke with you like this?”

Melody Fox was silent for a moment, his eyes filled with disbelief.

With Aaron Berg’s personality, it was indeed impossible for him to joke with her like this. This could only be the case.

But Ming Yiheng liked her?? Why??

They had only known for less than a week.

Moreover, she had never had much contact with him.

The number of times they had met could be counted on one hand.

After a while, Melody Fox asked, “What did Fox say?”

“In the morning. After solving the problem of Ximber Tech’s new product.”

“…” She massaged her temples with a headache, not knowing what to say.

She believed that she knew herself very well and that she had enough self-awareness. However, the truth was right in front of her, which made her even more incredulous.

When Aaron Berg saw Melody Fox like this, he also understood that Melody Fox did not know that Ming Yiheng had a crush on her.

Fox rooms. Aaron Berg also felt a little regretful. He shouldn’t have said this to Melody Fox.

It was fine if Miss Fox did not know, but once he found out, he might really… have something to do with Ming Yiheng.

Miss Fox was too opinionated, so much so that he felt that Melody Fox was a person that ordinary people could not control.

If she was just an ordinary, soft, and weak socialite, he would not be worried that she would betray Sir.

However, Miss Fox was too outstanding. She was so outstanding that her good qualities could completely cover up her bad looks.

Aaron Berg lowered his head in frustration.

“I’m sorry, Miss Fox. I spoke too much. Just pretend that I didn’t say anything.”

Melody Fox had already recovered from his shock.

She looked deeply at Aaron Berg and said, “Aaron Berg, don’t worry. As long as Ken Swanson doesn’t do anything to let me down, I, Melody Fox, will never betray him in my life.”

Her eyes shone with determination. Aaron Berg had no choice but to believe her.

“Yes… I also believe that you won’t make a mistake.”

“I’ll take care of Ming Yiheng. You don’t have to say these words in the future.”

Before Aaron Berg could say anything, Melody Fox had already left.

Aaron Berg felt even more regretful.

He really should not have said these words to Melody Fox!

However, it was too late to regret now.

He only hoped that Miss Fox could really handle it well.

When Aaron Berg thought of Ming Yiheng’s expression when he said Fox, an unknown fire burned in his stomach.

This fellow really didn’t take Sir seriously. He was just a student. Where did he get the courage to warn Sir not to let Miss Fox down?

Seriously…

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!

On the other side, Spencer had already driven the car downstairs.

Melody Fox happened to walk downstairs, open the car door, and get in.

The car soon left the high-end residential area and drove towards InsterimondFirst Hospital.

However, after the car drove away, a figure suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the car in confusion.

“Hui’er! What are you looking at? Hurry up and leave. The boss is waiting to interview me.”

An obese woman walked over and slapped the back of the woman’s head.

“Aiya! Mom! It hurts!”

The woman glared at her mother angrily.

“If you know it hurts, why don’t you hurry up? If you lose this job, don’t even think about me buying you a smartphone. Don’t even think about becoming a celebrity. Just go home and farm!”

The woman was anxious.

When she arrived at Insterimond, she realized that no one needed flip phones anymore. People would laugh at them if they used flip phones.

However, she did not have any money on her, so she could only beg her mother.

The woman was afraid that her mother would not buy it for her, so she quickly explained, “No… Mom, I didn’t mean to delay your time. I think I saw Melody Fox just now.”

“Who?”

“Melody Fox! It’s that ugly woman who was fostered in Second Aunt’s house next door.”

“How is that possible? Didn’t she die of illness at a very young age? Wasn’t she taken away by a barefoot doctor?”

“I can’t be wrong. The scars and red spots on her face are exactly the same as Little Fox.”

“Where?”

“There! That’s the car!”

The fat woman looked up and saw a Rolls-Royce slowly driving out of the neighborhood with the pole at the entrance.

Naturally, the fat woman did not see him.

But she knew the car was worth a fortune.

Her last employer had driven this brand of car.

“Don’t even think about it. It can’t be her. With her life, how could she get into such a luxury car?”

Bai Hui scratched her head.

“That seems to be the case…

“Alright, stop thinking about nonsense. Hurry up and leave. Don’t let them wait too long.”

“Oh, oh.” Bai Hui did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed.

When they arrived at the duplex on the top floor, the fat woman instructed in a low voice, “Wait for me at the door. Don’t run anywhere. I’m not familiar with your mother, Insterimond. If you get lost, I won’t even know where to find you.”

“Got it! Hurry up and go in!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the luxurious door in front of him was opened from the inside.

A man with a scar on his face stared at them, scaring the two of them.

The person who opened the door was none other than Aaron Berg.

Aaron Berg glanced at the two of them and asked, “Are you here for an interview?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The fat woman quickly nodded. “My name is Bao Chanjuan. I’m from the Morgan family Intermediary. We spoke on the phone.”

Aaron Berg nodded. Then, his gaze landed on Bai Hui.

Chapter 1093

Bai Hui was not like Bao Chanjuan. Not only was she slender, but her facial features were also not bad.

However, it was only “not bad”.

Aaron Berg sized up Bai Hui and asked Bao Chanjuan, “Who is she? We only want a nanny.”

When Bao Chanjuan saw that Aaron Berg was asking her daughter, she quickly explained, “This is my daughter, Bai Hui. She just arrived at Insterimond today. I didn’t have time to bring her back because I was afraid of delaying your room Fox, so I brought her here directly after she got off the train. Don’t worry, she definitely won’t disturb you. I told her to wait at the door.”

Aaron Berg said calmly, “There’s no need. Since you’re already here, come in and wait.’

With that, he turned around and entered.

Bao Chanjuan hesitated for a moment. Afraid that Bai Hui would wander around, she said, “Since the boss has already said so, come in and wait.”

Bai Hui had long wanted to see what the families of the Insterimond people looked like. Hearing this, she forgot the fear she had when she first saw Aaron BergFox and followed curiously.

As soon as she entered the apartment, Bai Hui was stunned by the luxurious scene in front of her.

Luxurious and huge crystal lights bloomed with dazzling light. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows allowed her to see everything below. The leather sofa was very comfortable at a glance, and the huge television was something she had never seen before.

As well as the unique design of the Central Island Terrace, she wanted to live here just by looking at it.

She had never seen such luxurious and beautiful decorations with her own eyes!

Such a renovation would only appear in television dramas.

1/6

Chapter 1093 Applicant

In the past, she had thought that the renovation of the village chief’s house was already very high-end. Today, she realized that the village chief’s house was worlds apart

from this place, not to mention that she herself was in a house with concrete walls.

“Hui’er? Hui’er!”

Bao Chanjuan’s voice woke her up from her shock. “Huh?”

“I’ve called you so many times, why didn’t you hear me? I’ll talk to the boss in the study. Sit on the sofa and don’t touch anything here. Don’t walk around either.”

“Got it,” Bai Hui replied perfunctorily.

However, the moment Bao Chanjuan and Aaron Berg entered the study, Bai Hui stood up from the sofa and

looked around the living room with envy.

Suddenly, she saw an ID photo that seemed to have been forgotten beside the television.

Was it the boss’s?

She subconsciously picked it up. When she saw the handsome god-like face in the photo one inch, her eyes seemed to be filled with love.

So handsome…

He was even more handsome than the television celebrities she had seen!

Was this also the owner of this house?

Bai Hui stared at the man in the photo, and her heart rippled bit by bit.

In the study room, Aaron Berg had already gotten a rough understanding of Bao Chanjuan’s basic information from the nanny agency when he contacted the cleaning company.

She was a villager from the countryside and was reliable and capable.

Therefore, he did not ask about Bao Chanjuan’s basic situation. He only asked, “Why did you leave the previous company? Haven’t you been working for almost a year?”

Bao Chanjuan said truthfully, “The last couple wanted a divorce and sold their house, so I had no choice but to leave.”

Aaron Berg nodded. It was fine as long as the nanny did not have any problems.

“What cuisine do you know?”

“I know both southern and northern cuisine, but… I’m better at southern cuisine.”

Aaron Berg nodded again.

“There’s no criminal record in three generations of the family, right?”

“No, no! Our family has been farmers for generations. It’s because my husband passed away in an accident and the two children in the family have to be raised. The family’s burden is too heavy, so I came to work in Insterimond to earn money.”

“Sure.”

Aaron Berg was quite satisfied with Bao Chanjuan, so he said, “We only want a short-term nanny, but I can sign a contract with you for a month. But because it’s a short-term one, we don’t provide accommodation. However, you have to prepare three meals a day, and you’re also in charge of cleaning. The fee is 50,000 yuan. Is that acceptable?”

Bao Chanjuan’s eyes lit up.

$50,000!

This far exceeded her expectations.

Although she did not want to do it in the short term, she immediately nodded and agreed because of the price.

“It’s acceptable. No problem.”

“Our husband and wife have noble statuses. You have to be careful not to offend them. They’re at home for Fox days.

You’d better be invisible. Don’t do anything you shouldn’t say, shouldn’t hear, or shouldn’t ask.”

Bao Chanjuan asked in surprise, “Aren’t you the owner of this place?”

“I’m Sir’s bodyguard.”

“So that’s how people are… Don’t worry, I know. Just treat me as deaf, blind, and mute. I know what to do and what not to do.”

“Alright, then sign it.”

Aaron Berg handed over the contract and said, “You don’t have to cook today. You can leave after cleaning up. You don’t have to rummage through the cabinets. Just clean the outside.”

“Yes.”

Aaron Berg nodded and told Bao Chanjuan the password to the door.

After everything was settled, the two of them left the study one after another.

Bai Huizao sat back on the sofa when she heard the footsteps inside.

However, for some reason, she hid the one-inch photo in her pocket.

After Aaron Berg came out, he said, “I still have something

on, so I’ll leave first. Remember what I said.”

“Yes, go ahead. I’ll keep the house spotless soon!” “Yeah.”

Aaron Berg nodded. He looked at Bai Hui and said, Remember to tell your daughter not to bring her here in the future. Our Sir and Madam both like peace and quiet.” “Yes.”

Seeing the other party nod, Aaron Berg strode out of the door.

Bai Hui waited until the elevator outside opened and closed before she dared to speak.

“Mom, isn’t this person the owner of this place?”

“No, he’s the family’s bodyguard.”

Bai Hui’s eyes widened.

“Oh my god, even bodyguards wear such expensive watches?!”

She had noticed just now that the watch Aaron Berg was wearing was worth at least twenty thousand dollars yuan.

“Don’t pay attention to that nonsense. Help me clean up honestly. We can leave after we’re done.”

“Oh…”

Bai Hui reluctantly responded, and her thoughts became active.

It seemed that the handsome man in the photo was the owner of this house.

But he seemed to be married.

What a pity…

However, she heard that rich people would have one or two mistresses.

Perhaps…

Bai Hui’s eyes moved quickly.

She did look down on mistresses, but it was not impossible

for her to be the mistress of the man in the photo…

He was rich and handsome. Why would he care about morals?

“Mom, can I come with you tomorrow? My interview is the day after tomorrow.”

“No, didn’t you hear what they said? Don’t bring you here in the future. The owner of this house likes silence.”

Bai Hui curled her lips in disappointment, but soon, the corners of her mouth curled up again.

If her mother couldn’t come tomorrow, wouldn’t she be able to replace her mother?

A smile quickly appeared on Bai Hui’s face. She took the initiative to sweep the floor one by one to see if there were any photos of the mistress.

Chapter 1094

If the mistress was not as good-looking as her, wouldn’t her chance come?

The more Bai Hui thought about it, the happier she became, and the more excited she became.

However, after cleaning the floor, Bai Hui did not find a photo of the mistress, nor did she find any photos of the husband and wife.

Could it be that… their relationship as husband and wife was already bad?

Then wouldn’t her chance come?

Moreover, perhaps with her beauty, she didn’t even need to be a mistress and could directly be the main wife.

Thinking of this, Bai Hui looked at the Fox people in this house and felt that she was the mistress of this house. “Hui’er!”

Bao Chanjuan noticed Bai Hui’s silly smile and couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “What are you giggling about? Have you swept the ground?”

“I did. I’m just happy that you found a good job this time.” Bao Chanjuan also laughed.

“Yes, the owner of this house is the most generous. There’s ten thousand dollars yuan a month. When it’s done this month, I can buy you a phone.”

“Can’t you buy it for me now?”

“Your mother doesn’t have that much money. Do you know how expensive Insterimond rent is?”

Bai Hui pursed her lips, but this time, she did not insist.

As long as she became the mistress of this house, why would she worry about not having enough money to buy a smartphone?

On the other side, Silverlake.

Russell Fox was negotiating with the manufacturer about the price of the apparel factory machine.

This was a factory that sold second-hand machines, but the price was still high. If he could not tell the price today, he could only buy the machine at a high price of 20 million dollars yuan.

All his cash had already been used to purchase and expand the clothing manufacturing factory. Now that he had pieced it together, he could only take out 16 million dollars at most.

It was extremely difficult to lower the price to 4 million dollars.

But no matter how difficult it was, he had to give it a try. How would he know if he didn’t try?

In order to have a higher chance of winning, Russell Fox called Mabel Fox along.

The two of them arrived at the entrance of the cafe. Russell Fox stopped and whispered, “Listen carefully. When you go in later, you have to find a way to reveal your relationship with Ulric Swanson to them. It’s best to let them think that you’re about to get married.”

Mabel Fox was extremely unwilling.

It was true that she liked to show off, but she was also afraid that Ulric Swanson would find out about this.

Her relationship with Ulric Swanson was not as good as Russell Fox thought.

However, Mabel Fox also knew that if he did not cooperate with Russell Fox, Russell Fox would probably go crazy and punish her.

This crazy man was capable of doing anything when provoked.

It was the same for Melody Fox back then, and it was definitely the same for him.

Mabel Fox pursed her lips and forced herself to smile obediently.

“Okay, Dad, I understand. I’ll do as you say.”

Russell Fox was satisfied.

Such an obedient, beautiful, and capable daughter was his daughter.

An unfilial piece of trash like Melody Fox was not worthy of being his daughter.

Wait a minute, why did he think of that damned little bastard again?

Russell Fox pinched the space between his eyebrows and forced himself not to mess around with people. After he calmed down, he brought Mabel Fox into the cafe.

The cafe apartment was filled with coffee and incense sticks. The Zen-like decoration made one’s heart calm down.

“It seems like this partner of yours has quite the taste. This room cafe is very popular. I wanted to come here before, but there haven’t been Fox rooms.”

Russell Fox snorted disdainfully.

“He’s just a country bumpkin from a coal boss. What taste can he have? He’s just pretending to be a cultured person. The less a person has, the more he wants to show off.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Russell Fox knocked on the door of the private room and pushed it open with a smile.

“Good afternoon, President Yang.”

Mabel Fox silently looked at Russell Fox hugging his partner’s thigh. Fox only wanted to roll his eyes.

Didn’t he just call her a country bumpkin?

She was quite happy to cozy up to him now.

After Russell Fox greeted the other party’s boss, his gaze landed on the middle-aged woman beside him.

The woman was wearing very stylish clothes. Although one could see the traces of time from the corners of her eyes, her temperament was still attractive.

“This is Mrs. Yang, right?” Russell Fox asked with a smile. President Yang nodded and said, “Yes, this is my lover.” “Hello, Mrs. Yang. Your temperament is really extraordinary…

Mrs. Yang was so happy that the corners of her lips curled up.

She personally poured Russell Fox and Mabel Fox glasses of coffee.

“Thanks a lot.”

Russell Fox took a sip of coffee and went straight to the point. “President Yang, I came here today… to discuss the price. Can you lower the price a little? I sincerely want to maintain a long-term cooperation with you.”

CEO Yang said, “We can talk about the price as long as you promise my lover one thing.”

Russell Fox’s eyes lit up. He asked, “What is it? As long as I, Russell Fox can do it, I will definitely do it for Mrs. Yang.”

“Janet Murphy, Fox will definitely be able to do it. My wife wants your daughter to design a piece of clothing for her. As long as she’s satisfied with the clothes, we’ll do as you say, 16 million dollars.”

Russell Fox was pleasantly surprised and subconsciously looked at Mabel Fox.

His daughter was indeed outstanding!

Mabel Fox was also very surprised. She raised her eyelids slightly and tried her best to suppress the pride in her heart.

The other party actually wanted her to personally design the clothes?

What kind of Fox has Mrs. Yang seen her designs?

However, this was not important. What was important was that the other party appreciated her very much.

This greatly satisfied her vanity.

Mabel Fox was about to speak when Mrs. Yang said, “I’m really sorry. I didn’t want to come over today to disturb your business discussion, but after I saw your daughter’s work, I couldn’t sleep at night. Even in my dreams, I wanted her to design a gown for me. That’s why I couldn’t help but come over and ask for your opinion. I wonder if you can agree…”

“No problem!”

Russell Fox said without thinking, “It’s just a piece of clothing. I’ll get her to design it for you as soon as we get back.”

“Great, then I’ll be waiting for your clothes.”

As Mrs. Yang spoke, she handed over a full-body photo of herself. The photo also marked her height, weight, and three measurements.

“Mabel, take it.”

Mabel Fox nodded and took the photo with a smile. “Mrs. Yang, don’t worry. I guarantee that you will be satisfied when you receive the gown.”

“Well, that’s good. By the way, I prefer lighter colors, not green.”

“Alright, I’ll remember.”

Mabel Fox nodded and noted down Mrs. Yang’s preferences.

After saying that, Mrs. Yang stood up and said, “I still have an appointment to play cards. I won’t disturb you guys anymore. I hope I’ll receive the clothes in a week.”

“No problem. I’ll personally deliver it to you in a week,” Russell Fox quickly said.

A gown could reduce 4 million dollars yuan. This was such a joyous occasion, so he naturally held it well.

Chapter 1095

“Then we’re in trouble.”

Mrs. Yang smiled at the two of them in satisfaction. Then,

she kissed her husband and left with Dior’s bag.

After Mrs. Yang left, the conversation that followed became even more relaxed.

Russell Fox hinted at Mabel Fox to tell about her relationship with Ulric Swanson, but CEO Yang was uninterested.

For an upstart boss like him, who had just entered the upper-class society, it was better to guard his own land than to spend all his effort to curry favor with a business leader like the Swanson Group.

He was already satisfied with his current life.

Russell Fox could also tell. After that, he stopped

mentioning the Swanson Group and Ulric Swanson. Instead, he focused on praising CEO Yang’s wife and praising how compatible the two of them were.

This move was indeed very useful to President Yang. He laughed happily.

It could be seen that the two of them were indeed very in love.

Mabel Fox only found out later from Russell Fox that this Mrs. Yang was actually President Yang’s sister-in-law and his first love.

After his brother passed away from illness, President Yang immediately married his sister-in-law. It was precisely because this relationship was not easy to come by that President Yang doted on his wife and sister-in-law, Mrs. Yang.

President Yang even especially reminded him.

“I’ll have to trouble you to quickly make the clothes. As long as my wife is satisfied, we’ll have a deal at 16 million dollars. I won’t go back on my word.”

He used 4 million dollars to make his wife smile. This deal was very worth it to him, so he naturally wouldn’t regret it.

Russell Fox nodded repeatedly.

“Don’t worry, we’ll design a few more sets of clothes and let your wife chooses the one she’s most satisfied with.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“You should.”

After saying goodbye to President Yang, Russell Fox and Mabel Fox bowed and got into the car.

As soon as the car started, the corners of Russell Fox’s mouth curled up to the sky as he praised Mabel Fox generously.

“I really didn’t expect your work to actually be liked by Mrs. Yang, Mabel. You’re indeed my daughter. You’ve perfectly inherited my genes. When I retire in the future, I’ll be at ease to hand the company to you.”

Mabel Fox lowered her eyes and smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Inheriting the Justalion Group had always been her and her mother’s goal.

Russell Fox should be happy that she said that, but for some reason, she felt an indescribable strange feeling in her heart.

This feeling was mixed with a hint of guilt.

In the end, she was actually not confident in her fashion design ability.

Although Yolanda Fox had nurtured her ability in this aspect since she was young so that she could inherit the Justalion Group, her talent was not there. Although she could design decent gowns, they looked ordinary compared to the gorgeous and beautiful gowns on the runway.

It was also because of this that she couldn’t understand why Mrs. Yang liked her design so much.

What made Mabel Fox feel that something was wrong was that although Mrs. Yang said that she liked the gown she designed, she did not look at her as a designer. Her attitude towards her was not as enthusiastic as her attitude towards Russell Fox.

If Mrs. Yang really liked his work, why would she be so indifferent to him?

Mabel Fox could not figure it out no matter how he thought about it.

However, after thinking about it carefully, there didn’t seem to be any problems.

After hesitating for a while, Mabel Fox decided to give up thinking about such meaningless questions.

Perhaps Mrs. Yang was just pretending to be calm?

After all, Russell Fox had said that they were coal bosses and liked to put on airs.

Perhaps after Mrs. Yang left, she was already overjoyed.

This had to be the case. Otherwise, there was no way to explain things.

Mabel Fox shook her head to stop herself from letting her imagination run wild. She should have confidence in herself. After all, although her designs were not as outstanding as famous designers, she had accurately captured the likes of some people and won many awards. Mrs. Yang should be one of these people.

Coincidentally, in front of Fox, Mabel Fox was the place where she and Ulric Swanson ate better. She said to

Russell Fox, “Dad, just leave me here. I’ve arranged to have

dinner with Ulric Swanson tonight.”

此

Russell Fox was so happy that he could not close his mouth.

“Have a meal? Alright, alright, I’ll leave you here. Remember to please Ulric Swanson. Don’t throw a tantrum. Men like obedient women, especially people like Ulric Swanson. Don’t make him unhappy.”

“Yes, I understand,” Mabel Fox replied obediently. However, his disgust for Russell Fox was about to reach its peak.

Look, how was this what a father should say to his daughter?!

However, no matter how unhappy he was, Mabel Fox still rationally hid the true emotions in his eyes.

She had not married the Swanson family yet, so she could not fall out with Russell Fox.

Now, she could only continue to play the role of an obedient daughter.

The car stopped in front of the restaurant.

Russell Fox watched Mabel Fox leave with a smile on his face. He only looked away when Mabel Fox walked into the restaurant.

He stretched lazily. Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest, he couldn’t help but feel proud.

His daughter was really good.

Unlike that useless idiot Melody Fox!

If Melody Fox was half as smart and obedient as Mabel Fox, he would not have kicked her out.

After all, she was his flesh and blood. How could he be so heartless?

She was the one who forced him to do it. There was nothing he could do.

However, that girl was really lucky. He did not know what had attracted Ken Swanson’s attention.

If it wasn’t for Ken Swanson, that wretched girl would have starved to death on the streets.

However, he was very sure that Melody Fox’s good days would not be long.

Ken Swanson was famous for being ruthless. How could such a Yama-like guy treat Melody Fox so well for the rest of his life?

It was just that he was used to eating delicacies. He wanted to exchange it for some wild vegetables to change his appetite.

But why would rich people eat wild vegetables for the rest of their lives?

At that time, that wretched girl would definitely turn around and beg him to take her in again.

Anyway, the Justalion Group was about to make a comeback. As long as that girl sincerely admitted her mistake and knelt down to beg for his forgiveness, it was not impossible for him to give the family another pair of forks.

Russell Fox thought happily. He was in a good mood. Fox was no longer in the mood to sleep. He instructed the driver, “Don’t go home. Go on a famous holiday.”

A famous holiday was a high-end club that middle-aged bosses like them liked to go to.

The service ladies inside all had their own merits. There were all kinds of them.

After Yolanda Fox’s death, he had been so busy with work that he had not been able to sort out his needs in that area for a long time.

Since his work today was so smooth, he would go and have some fun.

“Yes,” the driver replied. He quickly turned the car around and drove towards the famous holiday.

However, before the car reached the famous holiday, Russell Fox received many calls from the company’s CEOs who looked down on him previously.

Chapter 1076

Ken Swanson did not say anything. He took two steps forward and hugged Melody Fox tightly.

Melody only felt that even her breathing became difficult. He was hugging her too tightly!

“You have no idea how worried I was!”

After a long while, Ken Swanson finally let go of her.

Melody Fox smiled and said, “I’m fine, aren’t I? I’m not hurt at all. If you don’t believe me, look.”

As she spoke, she spun around in front of Ken Swanson. However, Ken Swanson was worried and insisted on dragging her into the bedroom. He carefully looked her up and down. When he saw that she was really not injured at all, he felt relieved.

However, after this ordeal, the fire on Ken Swanson’s body was ignited.

Originally, he had broken his promise only because he was single from the mother’s womb and met Melody Fox. He was like a wolf and tiger waiting for Fox. Coincidentally, he had been on a business trip for the past few days. The two of them had never crossed the line.

Therefore, as soon as this fire burned, her entire body felt uncomfortable.

Melody Fox was also a newbie, but it did not mean that she could not sense the changes in Ken Swanson.

She blushed. Before she could say anything, she was already dizzy from Ken Swanson’s kiss.

By the time she reacted, she had already been eaten clean.

After that, Melody Fox was a little lazy and did not want to remember.

Ken Swanson smiled dotingly and did not force her to get up and take a shower. After cleaning up, he carried a basin and helped her use a towel to clean her skin.

It was as if she was a cotton doll. If she used a little more force, it would dissipate.

Melody Fox pulled the blanket and said with a flushed face, “I’d better do it myself!”

She was going to die of embarrassment!

Ken Swanson pulled the blanket away forcefully.

“It’s almost done. Don’t get up. It’s all my fault for torturing you. This finishing job is my job.”

Moreover, he could also take the opportunity to admire her skin which was glowing with the luster of a young girl.

Melody Fox pretended to glare at him angrily.

“Why did you do it if you knew how to torture me?”

Ken Swanson put on an innocent look.

“This has nothing to do with me. You seduced me first.”

“I didn’t!”

“You do. You’re like one of those seductresses Tang Sanzang uses to get sutras from the West!”

To be fair, Melody Fox’s figure and skin were fatally attractive to men.

This aspect was probably perfectly inherited from Jiang Wilona.

Jiang Wilona was once known as a peerless beauty with a nine-headed body and a top-model figure.

Melody Fox said in embarrassment and anger, “Then why can others withstand temptation, but you can’t?”

“He’s a holy monk, and I’m a mortal. A mortal with seven emotions and six desires.”

As he spoke, Ken Swanson’s eyes heated up again.

Melody Fox immediately discovered it.

She didn’t want to fall apart when she woke up tomorrow,

so she quickly crawled into bed warily.

“Calm down!”

Ken Swanson smiled gently. “Honey, I…” “Don’t talk! I’m going to sleep!”

Melody Fox covered his face with the blanket and said that he was going to sleep.

Ken Swanson sighed.

It seemed like he had to let Melody Fox train more. How could he not do it once?

When Ken Swanson returned with the basin, he found that Melody Fox was still awake.

He decided to talk about Pamela Clark.

“I’ve already sent someone to investigate. The driver who hit you was originally a bodyguard by Pamela Clark’s side. Probably after following Pamela Clark, he grew up and learned how to gamble. Now, he owes 200 thousand dollars yuan to the person who gave him the money. They forced him to come to their door and said that if he didn’t repay the debt within a month, they would take the lives of his entire family.”

“This guy is quite responsible. That’s why he made a deal with Pamela Clark to use his life in exchange for clearing his debt.”

“I’ve already asked Aaron Berg to send someone to keep an eye on that guy’s family. As long as you think Fox is suitable, Fox can collect the evidence chain.”

Melody Fox shrugged.

“Wealth is charming. Gambling earns money too quickly, so it’s normal to fall into it. However, he dared to risk his life for his family. I respect him for being a man.”

“Yes, but in the end, he was the one who took the wrong path. That’s how life is. One wrong step leads to another.”

Melody Fox could not help but think of himself in his previous life.

Wasn’t it the same for her as well?

Ken Swanson saw that Melody Fox was in a daze, so he reached out and pulled Melody Fox into his arms. “What’s wrong? Are you pitying that guy?”

“No. I’m not that saintly. He wants my life in exchange for the lives of his family. How innocent am I? If I pity him, I’ll be a saint.”

“That’s good. I knew my Melody would be kind but not stupid.”

Melody Fox suddenly thought of Ximber Tech and quickly asked, “How’s the matter with the company going?”

Ken Swanson smiled helplessly and told him about how the higher-ups did not dare to suspect that there was a problem with the core programming.

“Later, I brought people to investigate carefully and realized that there was really a problem with the programming.”

“The programming of X-series’s product is divided into two parts, AB. I’m in charge of Part A, and Sid Quant is in charge of Part B.”

“The problem is Section B which Sid Quant is in charge of. However, programming is a very complicated matter, especially for the already complicated X-series product. It needs to be adjusted according to the situation of the mainframe, and can’t be directly modified on the main end remotely. Therefore, I’m afraid we still have to get Sid Quant to come over. Fortunately, Fox is still enough. I plan to let him recuperate for another week before coming over. Before that, he has to check for gaps remotely.”

Melody Fox immediately thought of Ming Yiheng.

“I’ve already called Ming Yiheng. He said he’ll come over tomorrow morning. Let’s let Ming Yiheng try it first. Maybe he won’t need Sid Quant to come over? You know the transportation method of a plane. There will be a huge air pressure difference. It’s very unfriendly to a patient with internal injuries like him. If he comes by car, it’ll be even more tiring.”

“Then… let him try first.”

“Yeah.”

“By the way, on my way back, I saw your name all over the social networking sites. It’s about your exam this afternoon. Tell me about it. What exactly happened.”

“It’s still Pamela Clark…”

Melody FoxJanet Murphy recounted the incident, and Ken Swanson’s eyes darkened.

“If Clark Group wasn’t still useful to you, she would have died a million times over.”

“It doesn’t matter. Moreover, she took the initiative to give the ‘murderer’ such a big gift today. She won’t be able to make a comeback in the future.”

“Well…”

As they chatted, Ken Swanson’s hands started to move unruly again.

Melody Fox grabbed his wrist.

“Don’t mess around! Go to sleep!”

“It’s only nine o’clock…”

“That won’t do!”

Ken Swanson had no choice but to get up and take a shower.

When Fox returned, his vision finally returned to normal.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Melody Fox woke up in Ken Swanson’s arms.

Ken Swanson gasped slightly. Only then did she realize that her head had been pressed against Ken Swanson for the entire night. She quickly pulled his hand and massaged it to restore his blood circulation.

Chapter 1077

After rubbing for a while, Ken Swanson’s arm finally felt less sore.

Melody Fox thought of a comic she saw online and smiled.” I heard that couples in their honeymoon period are like this. They can’t wait to sleep together. But when the honeymoon period is over, everyone will fall asleep with their backs facing each other.”

Ken Swanson frowned.

“Then we’ll always be in love.”

“That’s hard to say. You might despise me one day.”

“Such a thing will never happen!” Ken Swanson’s eyes were shining brightly, making Melody Fox feel a little embarrassed.

“Let’s not talk about it anymore. I’m getting up. Ming Yiheng will come to the company today. I said I’ll wait for him at the company.”

“Stay in the hotel to rest or let Aaron Berg show you around. You haven’t officially shopped around Insterimond these few days. Don’t worry and play. I’ll be enough at the company.

“But…

“No buts. I’m already very guilty that I can’t accompany you. Don’t make me feel even more guilty.”

Helpless, Melody Fox could only nod in agreement.

The two of them had breakfast together, and Ken Swanson went to Ximber Tech.

Melody Fox did not stay idle either. He instructed Aaron Berg to buy the medicinal pot that was used to brew the medicine and a small alchemy furnace that could refine the medicine into pills.

“Buy a plug-in. It’s more convenient.”

Aaron Berg asked in confusion, “Miss Fox, are you feeling unwell?”

“No, it has nothing to do with your health. I’m taking care of my body.”

“Alright, I’ll go immediately.” Aaron Berg did not think too much about it. He quickly took the purchase order that Melody Fox had given him and left.

After Melody Fox watched Aaron Berg leave, he opened his luggage.

In the suitcase were all the antidotes she had painstakingly gathered after her rebirth.

Before she set off for Insterimond, she was only left with the last ingredient, the Green Velvet. Now that the medicine was gathered and Fox had nothing else to do, she could finally start brewing the antidote.

She had been waiting for this day for a long, long time, and it had finally come.

Coincidentally, at Fox, her phone rang.

Melody Fox looked at the caller ID and realized that it was Zhang Wenwen.

“Hello?”

As soon as the call connected, Zhang Wenwen’s congratulatory voice could be heard. “Melody, congratulations!”

“Huh?” Melody Fox held the phone and asked in confusion, Congratulate me for what?”

“Huh? Didn’t you see the school’s official website last night? You were first place and you were accepted by the Fashion Design Academy! I wanted to call you last night, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I called early this morning to congratulate you.”

“…I was a little busy last night, so I forgot to look.”

“Then go take a look now. Hehe, remember to treat me to a meal!”

“No problem.”

After the call ended, Melody Fox opened the official website and saw the notification of her admission.

Similarly, she also noticed that the text message was from Insterimond University.

Asked her to go to the Academic Affairs Office at ten this morning to register the relevant information.

Melody Fox glanced at the time. It was only eight o’clock, so her time was still sufficient.

She sent a text message to Zhang Wenwen, asking her to find a restaurant. They would have lunch together and then send a screenshot of the admission information to Ken Swanson.

Ken Swanson called in the next second to congratulate her. “Congratulations, wife.”

Melody Fox smiled and said, “Congratulations to you too. In the future, no one will say that your wife graduated from a lousy university.”

“Whoever says that I’ll cut off their tongue.”

“You… Have you arrived at the office?”

“One more traffic light in front of us.”

“Alright, I’ll leave you to it. I still have to register my information at the school later.”

“Okay. I’ll look for you when I’m done.”

“Okay!”

Not long after Melody Fox hung up, Aaron Berg returned with the bottles and jars she wanted.

Melody Fox gave a roundabout reminder. “It’s something that a girl can recuperate from. You don’t have to report this to Ken Swanson. Do you understand?”

“Understood!” Aaron Berg nodded. However, he had long misunderstood the situation.

Could it be that Mrs. Swanson was preparing for pregnancy?

That must be it!

Ah ah ah, he was about to have a young master.

Aaron Berg smiled and went out excitedly. Melody Fox was a little confused.

However, in order not to let Ken Swanson smell the

medicine, she went out and specially booked another room.

She moved all herbs to the next room before starting to brew medicine.

About Fox minutes later, the medicinal soup was completed. It was black, but the taste was a wonderful fragrance.

She raised her head and drank it. Without stopping, she began to refine pills with a few herbal pills.

With the medicinal soup and pills, she only needed three days. On the fourth day, she would be able to recover her appearance.

However, the pills required to be prepared, so she went out first after preparing the room.

Insterimond Hospital…

“Sir!”

Zuo Ye hurriedly pushed open the door with a few reports. However, when the door of the ward was pushed open, the wife was sitting beside Mr. Orek.

“Madam…”

Zuo Ye quickly restrained the expression on his face and quickly hid the report behind his back.

However, Madam Ou still noticed Zuo Ye’s actions.

She narrowed her eyes coldly and asked, “Zuo Ye, what’s that in your hand?”

Zuo Ye pretended to be calm and shook his head. “It’s nothing. It’s just a collaboration project.”

“Oh? What cooperation?”

Madam Ou stood up and was about to walk towards Zuo Ye.

Orek suddenly said, “Didn’t you ask me if I knew where Dr. Yuliffe was?”

Madam Ou stopped in her tracks and temporarily put the matter of Zuo Ye to the back of her mind. She turned her head and asked, “Do you know where he is?”

“I do.”

“Where is he?”

Orek pushed Zuo Ye away. “You go out first.”

“Yes.”

Zuo Ye bowed and left quickly.

As soon as he left, Madam Ou immediately asked, “Where is he?”

Orick suddenly sneered and questioned, “I’ve been hospitalized for a few days, but you don’t seem to care much about my health. You’re very concerned about a doctor!”

Madam Ou observed Orick’s expression of surprise and asked in disbelief, “Are you jealous?”

Olek suppressed his resistance to Madam Ou and forced himself to be jealous as he asked, “As your husband, can’t I be angry about such things?”

Madam Ou’s eyes instantly lit up.

She was very happy!

She had loved Orek for half her life.

However, even though she had become his wife, she had never caught his attention.

It was precise because of this that she and her family planned for the rest of her life to make Orek “sick”. Fortunately, after Orek died, she would take over all of Orek’s assets.

However, it was also because she loved him that she had been hesitating and did not order Yulifu to take Orek’s life.

In the end, this day that she did not even dare to dream of had arrived.

Madam Ou couldn’t tell how she felt at that moment, but she was definitely more happy than anything else.

If Orek was willing to accept her sincerely, what would she need Orek’s assets for?

Compared to endless wealth, she wanted to obtain Orek’s love more!

Chapter 1078

“Orrick…”

Tears welled up in Madam Ou’s eyes, and she couldn’t help but hold Orrick’s hand.

In the next second, Orek suddenly gasped and quickly pulled his hand back.

Madam Ou looked down and realized that she had just held the place where Orek’s IV was administered.

Startled, heartbroken, and regretful, she said, “I’m sorry. I… was so excited I didn’t notice that your hand was on an IV.”

Eric looked away and said, “You can go back first. I already know about Yuliv’s disappearance. I will send Zuo Ye to investigate.”

At the mention of Zuo Ye, Madam Ou subconsciously resisted.

“I’m worried about him. Why don’t you assign some of your men to me? I’ll find them myself.”

Upon hearing this, Orick glanced at Madam Ou.

“Do you really care so much about Yuliv?”

“No, no! I don’t care about him at all. Even if he dies, there won’t be any waves in my heart. I only have you in my heart. I can swear to Jesus!” Madam Ou quickly explained.

OreSeur closed his eyes.

“If that’s the case, then you can go back and wait for the news. I believe in Zuo Ye’s ability, so please believe in my judgment.”

“Of course, I believe you. It’s just-“

“Huh?” Orek half-opened his eyes, which were filled with displeasure.

Madam Ou immediately changed her words. “Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you. However, can I stay with you? I want to stay with you in the evening.”

“If you really only have me in your heart, let me recuperate and recover as soon as possible.”

“…Alright, I’ll come over to see you tonight. You don’t have to order dinner tonight. I’ll cook personally and bring you the dishes I made.”

“Suit yourself.”

Madam Ou was delighted.

Orek had never been willing to eat her cooking before.

It seemed that Orrick really cared about her because of Yuliv’s existence.

If she had known that this would work, why would she have waited for him for so many years?

But it made sense. All men were possessive.

Even if this possessiveness had nothing to do with love, it was enough to make her happy.

“Then I’ll go prepare it now! I know what you like to eat. I’ll go buy the ingredients now.”

“Yeah.”

Madam Ou smiled and almost cried.

She gave Orek a few more words of advice before reluctantly leaving.

After leaving the ward, Zuo Ye immediately handed over the proposal that he had just prepared.

“Madam, did you want to see the project book in my hand just now? Please take a look.”

Madam Ou did not even glance at the project in Zuo Ye’s hand.

Not only that, she even said to him pleasantly, “I’ve never participated in the Halcyon project. You don’t have to show it to me. Take good care of him. I’ll come over tonight. If he feels a little unwell, remember to call me immediately.”

“…Yes.” Zuo Ye was confused.

Even after Madam Ou’s figure had disappeared from his sight, he was still in a daze.

‘What happened?’

Did this vicious woman take the wrong medicine?

Or was she hiding something and thinking of other ways to harm him and Mr. Ou?

At this point, Orek’s shout woke him up.

“Zuo Ye! Zuo Ye!”

Zuo Ye suddenly came back to his senses and quickly walked into the ward.

“Mr. Ou, Madam is a little strange. She just…”

Orek raised his hand to interrupt him.

“Don’t worry about her. Tell me what happened. Is the report out?”

Only then did Zuo Ye remember the serious matter.

He nodded excitedly. “It’s out! But I was afraid that Madam would want the report, so I destroyed it.”

“Result.”

Zuo Ye’s eyes reddened and he could not hide his excitement as he said, “Miss Fox, she… is indeed your biological daughter!”

Orek’s head turned white. Countless emotions seemed to be expanding and exploding in his brain at a rapid speed, causing him to be at a loss for words.

Zuo Ye was not in a hurry. He just stood there and waited for Orek to come back to his senses.

After an unknown period of time, Orek finally said in a hoarse voice, “What does the exact result say?”

“The probability of parental authority is greater than 99.9999%. It’s a parent-child relationship.”

Orek fell silent again.

However, this time, he quickly recovered from his excitement.

“Zuo Ye…”

However, he opened his mouth, but he still did not know what to say or do.

Zuo Ye nodded in understanding and walked over to hold Orek’s hand.

“Mr. Ou, congratulations, congratulations… You have a daughter! And she’s growing up very well. She’s the smartest girl I’ve ever seen.”

Orek’s eyes slowly moistened.

“I… I didn’t do my duty as a father. What… what should I do now? Zuo Ye?”

“This…” Zuo Ye thought about it and said, “Why don’t we tell Miss Fox directly?”

‘No.’ Orek shook his head. ‘It’s too much of a shock for her. It’ll have to be done step by step. And I’ll have to think carefully about how I’m going to make everyone accept who she is. I won’t allow my baby girl to be attacked with obscenities by anyone.

Zuo Ye understood what Orek meant.

Orek did not want others to call Melody Fox a “bastard”.

However, if Orek really wanted Melody Fox to acknowledge his ancestors, this was unavoidable.

Unless… Sir divorced Madam.

However, it had been more than 20 years since the marriage between the two families.

A sudden divorce would definitely cause a huge shock.

Zuo Ye’s mind was racing as he suggested, “Why don’t you just say that Miss Fox is your goddaughter and then adopt her over? She saved you this time and Madam’s side is reasonable. As long as you insist, this matter won’t be difficult.”

“No way!”

‘I won’t allow her to call the woman who broke me up with her mother “Mom”, Orek said coldly. ‘It wouldn’t be fair to her, or to Wilona.’

“But…”

‘Don’t try to dissuade me. My mind is made up. I’ll find the best way!’

Zuo Ye knew Orek’s temperament.

He seemed to be easy to talk to, but once he made up his mind, he would never turn back.

Zuo Ye could only say, “The most important thing now is for you to recuperate first. Only when your body recovers can you have the energy to plan this matter? What do you think?”

Eric nodded. “I’ll cooperate with the doctors here.”

Zuo Ye immediately said, “Why don’t I ask Miss Fox to come over and let her take a look at you again? See if you can ask her to prescribe you a medicine for a speedy recovery. You will recover faster.”

These words struck a chord in Orek’s heart.

He wanted to see Melody Fox immediately!

His daughter!

The crystallization of his love for Wilona.

“Invite her over! Also, don’t call her Miss Fox anymore. Her surname isn’t Fox.”

“Yes!” Zuo Ye’s lips curved into a smile, and the atmosphere finally relaxed.

However, he suddenly remembered something that Melody Fox had mentioned to him.

“Mr. Ou, there’s something… I have to tell you, but you have to be mentally prepared first.”

Chapter 1079

Orek lay back against the pillows, his brow creased with pleasure.

“Tell me! Now that I know that Melody is my biological daughter, nothing else can make me emotional anymore.”

“This… I’m afraid not.”

“Tell me!”

Zuo Ye deliberated over his words and said, “I also heard … from Miss. She said that her mother did not die from dystocia but was maliciously killed on the operating table.”

“What did you say?!” Orrick grabbed Zuo Ye’s neck at an astonishing speed.

Outsiders knew that Orek’s right-hand man, Zuo Ye, was very skilled, but not many people knew that Zuo Ye’s kung fu was taught by Orek.

When he was years younger. Not only was he the world’s number one expert, but he was also a top judo expert.

Even though he had just undergone a major surgery, his martial arts skills had not decreased.

Zuo Ye’s neck was grabbed by Orick, and his breathing was instantly restrained.

Orek’s eyes seemed to be flickering with raging flames as if he wanted to devour everything.

“M-Mr. Ou…”

Zuo Ye squeezed out a sound from his throat with difficulty.

“Let, ‘s let go of me.”

Orek suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he had grabbed Zuo Ye’s neck tightly because he was too angry.

He quickly let go and apologized before asking, “Are you alright? I… lost my composure just now.”

Zuo Ye took two deep breaths before he quickly shook his head and said, “I’m fine Mr. Ou. I’m fine.”

Zuo Ye took two more breaths before the lack of oxygen slowly subsided.

Orek suppressed his anger and asked, “Who killed her?”

“According to Miss, it’s her stepmother and father, Russell Fox, oh no, her adoptive father.” Zuo Ye quickly changed his words.

“Russell Fox? He’s actually… courting death!”

Zuo Ye had not seen Orek so angry for a long time.

Over the years, Mr. Ou’s temper had been worn down by time. Only something related to Jiang Wilona could cause him to lose his composure like today.

Zuo Ye said, “Sir, please give me some time. I will carefully investigate the process and everyone who participated in this matter.

“We have to investigate thoroughly! I want everyone involved to die without an intact corpse!”

“Yes!”

Orek took a few deep breaths, and his anger was no longer as uncontrollable as before.

“Ask Melody to come and see me. I want to see her. However, don’t let her know about her relationship with me for the time being. I need to wait for her to slowly accept me first. I don’t want her to be agitated.”

“Yes.”

Zuo Ye bowed and turned around to walk out of the ward to make a call.

Similarly, Melody Fox was walking from the hotel to Insterimond University.

The two places were only ten minutes apart and were very close, so she chose to walk.

Zuo Ye called her, and she happened to walk to the sidewalk opposite Insterimond University.

“Mr. Zuo?”

Melody Fox answered the call and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“I’m sorry to bother you again, miss.”

“Mr. Zuo, you’re too kind. There’s nothing between us to disturb. I just don’t know why you’re looking for me.”

“It’s like this. Mr. Ou can take care of himself now, but he still wants to recover faster. As you know, Ou Jing has too many things to do. It’s not good for Mr. Ou to stay in the hospital for too long. I wonder if you have free time today to see if you can prescribe him some medicine to help him recover quickly?”

Melody Fox looked at the time and said, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to come over in the morning. If there’s no hurry, I’ll come over after lunch?”

“Alright, no problem. Mr. Ou and I will be waiting for you at the hospital. Do you need me to send a car to pick you up?”

“No need. I’ll come over myself.”

“Alright, thank you, Miss.”

“Yeah.”

Melody Fox hung up the phone and tilted her head in confusion.

Why did Zuo Ye seem to be more polite to her every time?

Moreover, why did he directly skip her surname and call her Miss?

Wasn’t it only the servants who called her “Miss”?

Melody Fox shook her head and did not think too much about it.

Coincidentally, Zhang Wenwen’s shout came from the other side.

Melody!

Zhang Wenwen knew that she was coming to register, so she had been waiting at the school gate for a long time.

Melody Fox was a little surprised and walked over with a smile.

“I’ll go with you to register. I have nothing to do today anyway.”

“Sure.” Melody Fox nodded. The two of them quickly arrived at the Academic Affairs Office.

The teacher from the Academic Affairs Office was already waiting there.

When he saw the famous Melody Fox, he immediately went forward with a smile.

“You’re Classmate, right? I’m a little excited to see you in person. Come over quickly and fill in this information. You can take the acceptance letter.”

Melody Fox smiled. “Thank you, Teacher. I’ll fill it in now.”

The information form was more complicated. It took Melody Fox more than 20 minutes to fill it in.

A few teachers handed over the admission notice and congratulated him in unison.

The teacher in the lead said, “Student Fox, I have some rules to tell you after you’re admitted.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“Because you’re recruiting special talents from all ages in Halcyon, you don’t have to study in school for the entire semester like the other students who entered SAT. You just have to complete the online courses and come for the exam at the end of each semester.”

Melody Fox knew about this long ago.

Otherwise, she might not have come to take the exam.

If she went to school every day, she wouldn’t have Fox rooms to do her own things.

“I understand. Thank you, Teacher.”

“Alright, add my contact information. I’ll contact your batch of students for the subsequent online classes.”

“Yeah.”

The two of them had just added each other’s contact information when a teacher’s phone alarm clock rang.

Melody Fox looked at Room Fox and asked, “At this time, it seems to be Room Fox of the exam drawn by Halcyon, right?”

“That’s right. Why?”

“Actually, I also signed up for the Halcyon painting exam.”

The teacher asked in surprise, “You’re going to take the exam?”

“I have this plan. I wonder if I can still take the Halcyon painting test after I get first place?”

The teachers looked at each other and said, “Of course you can. According to the rules, you can take all the exams that you’ve signed up for. Then, you can choose the one with the best results as the final effective score. It’s just that… you’ve already been accepted, so there doesn’t seem to be a need to take other exams.”

“In theory, I can still take the Halcyon painting test, right?”

“Of course. However, in this case, I can temporarily keep the admission notice for you for Fox years. If you also get first place in Halcyon paintings, you can freely choose to enter any academy at Fox years. However, you can only choose one of the two.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Chapter 1080

The teacher nodded and said, “Then I’ll keep the admission notice for you first. Hurry up and take the exam. If you exceed Fox rooms, you’ll be considered to have abandoned the exam and can’t take the exam.”

“Alright, thank you, Teacher. I’ll go over now.”

Melody Fox said goodbye to the teachers from the Academic Affairs Office and walked quickly to the examination venue with Zhang Wenwen.

Zhang Wenwen could not help but ask, “Melody, weren’t you already accepted? Why are you still taking the exam?”

“Because there’s another person who hasn’t been punished who will take the Halcyon painting test.”

“Who? What didn’t get punished?”

Melody Fox smiled without saying anything.

“You don’t need to know about this, but I won’t let her have her way.”

Zhang Wenwen nodded. “No matter what decision you make, I’ll support you. Good luck!”

“Yup!”

Soon, the two of them arrived at the examination venue.

The two of them arrived at Fox PM. The examinees in the examination hall were still entering the venue one after another.

“I made it.” Zhang Wenwen heaved a sigh of relief and said, “I’ll wait for you outside the examination hall. When you’re done, let’s eat together.”

“Alright, then come and choose a restaurant. This time, I’ll treat you to a good meal no matter what.”

“Then I’ll wait for a good meal!”

Melody Fox smiled and waved goodbye to Zhang Wenwen.

When she walked to the entrance of the examination hall, many people recognized her.

During the live broadcast of the exam yesterday, almost all the candidates who participated in this special talent recruitment had watched the live broadcast, so many people recognized her at a glance.

“Isn’t she… the big shot who knew French embroidery yesterday? Why is the big shot here too?”

“Yeah, I’m puzzled too. I took a look at the official website. She has already been accepted.”

“Sigh…, looks like we have another strong enemy.

That’s right. There’s an examinee called Jian Huan. He said that he studied under 46684 dollars. Now, there’s another big shot. I can’t take this exam anymore. I’m destined to not be able to get into Insterimond University.”

When Melody Fox heard the discussions of the others, the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up.

She was here for Jian Huan!

Yesterday, Pamela Clark did not give up on Jian Huan, so Jian Huan escaped punishment.

Now, she naturally couldn’t let Jian Huan get first place.

However, he did not expect Jian Huan to learn from Yannick Frost.

From the looks of it, Yannick Frost did not have good taste in choosing disciples.

She had to talk to Yannick Frost when she got back.

However, Yannick Frost had many disciples. It was not unforgivable to misjudge one occasionally.

Soon, it was Melody Fox’s turn.

She handed over her admission ticket. The invigilator also looked at her in surprise and confirmed, “Student Fox, you want to participate in the exam?”

“Yes.” Melody Fox nodded.

Seeing this, the invigilator did not say anything else and waved her in.

According to the admission number, Melody Fox found her seat.

Coincidentally, Jian Huan was on her right.

Jian Huan stared at her with a dark gaze. After a while, she finally said, “Didn’t you already get accepted?”

Melody Fox said with a faint smile, “That’s right.”

“Then why did you take the exam?”

She curled her lower lip and said, “I came especially for you.”

As smart as Jian Huan was, he instantly understood what Melody Fox meant.

A cold viciousness flashed across her eyes. She lowered her voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “If you want to snatch my first place, you’ll have to see if you have the ability!”

“Then you’ll see.”

Yannick Frost was considered her disciple. According to seniority, Jian Huan had to call her Grandmaster.

The two of them looked at each other silently, as if they had already started a war in the void.

A few minutes later, the invigilator turned on the big screen in the examination hall.

“Candidates, as something very bad happened in the school yesterday, today’s questions are randomly selected in the question bank by a teacher from our school’s School of Information. Now, please look at the big screen.”

Everyone immediately started whispering.

“Yesterday… you were talking about the fashion design institute, right?”

“Other than that, there’s nothing else. I can’t reveal the question in advance because it’s randomly generated. Tsk tsk, as expected of University Insterimond.”

“Quiet, everyone!”

Everyone quickly quieted down.

The invigilator looked around the examination hall. After everyone was staring at the screen, he opened a software on the computer.

Under the randomization of the software, the questions finally appeared.

After quickly scrolling through the questions in the question bank, two words appeared: Animals.

“Alright, the question has been generated. The question this time is animals. Everyone can perform freely, but the content can’t be without animals.”

The examinees once again broke out into a noisy discussion.

“Damn! Why does it have to be an animal! I’m best at landscape painting.”

“That’s great. The shrimp I’ve been practicing for a long time will finally come in handy.”

“Animals are the last thing I’m good at… It’s really over this time. Even the heavens won’t help me.”

The joys and sorrows of each person were not interlinked.

Some people had a sad expression on their faces. Their mentality had already collapsed.

Some people were extremely happy and confident as they spread out the drawing paper prepared by the school and began to choose a brush.

Similar to the Faculty of Costume Design, Insterimond universities provided the tools for the exam.

After thinking for a while, Melody Fox quickly decided on the theme and chose a very thin paintbrush.

The invigilator’s voice sounded again.

“The exam is 80 minutes for Fox rooms. Once Fox rooms arrive, all candidates must stop drawing and hand in their papers. Note that we can hand in our papers in advance along with Fox rooms. There is no limit to Fox rooms.”

“However, it’s best if you don’t hand in your papers in advance. This is because after the exam ends, everyone needs to move to the classroom next door and be graded by the judges on the spot.”

“Other than our art teacher, the judge also invited Halcyon master painter Yannick Frost.”

“This exam is absolutely fair and just. Please rest assured.”

“In addition, during the Foxth hour of the live scoring, we will also broadcast live to ensure that the results of the exam are absolutely fair.”

Melody Fox raised his eyelids.

This time, she did not greet Zuo Ye.

The live broadcast should be the school’s decision to get rid of the bad influence of yesterday’s incident.

However, this was exactly what she wanted.

However, she did not expect Yannick Frost to be one of the judges.

She glanced at Jian Huan from the corner of her eye and saw the corners of Jian Huan’s mouth curl up into a confident smile.

Melody Fox also smiled.

Jian Huan probably did not know that Yannick Frost was her disciple.

If he knew, the expression on Jian Huan’s face would definitely be very interesting.

She was starting to look forward to it.

The invigilator continued.

“It’s forbidden to whisper during the examination. Anyone who speaks casually or peeks at someone else’s painting will be immediately invited out of the examination hall. Candidates, please take note. Next, the examination will officially begin!”

When Melody Fox heard this, he retracted the screen and tightened his grip on the paintbrush. After staring at the blank paper for a few seconds, he had already thought of the composition in his heart.

She didn’t waste another second and directly raised her brush to draw.

Chapter 1081

The Halcyon painting had to be done in one go. If one line hesitated, the entire painting would be destroyed.

Nowadays, internationally, all kinds of gorgeous Western paintings are highly regarded, but the realm that Halcyon’s paintings could embody was beyond the reach of Western paintings.

It was precisely because of this that in truly high-end auctions, high-grade Halcyon paintings were sold at a higher price than high-grade Western paintings.

However, high-grade Halcyon paintings were becoming rarer and rarer.

Next door.

The judges of the Academy of Fine Arts were lamenting to Yannick Frost that Halcyon’s new juniors had yet to develop. There were almost no young people who could replace their generation.

“Not to mention that there’s no one who can receive our big stick, even those who are willing to learn Halcyon paintings are very few. There are so many academies, but only the students who applied for our Halcyon painting are the fewest.”

“In other words, Master Yannick Frost, you’ve also nurtured a few talented talents. The other masters either don’t accept disciples anymore, or they don’t even think they have enough creations.”

“I really hope that this special talent recruitment will bring us a talented Halcyon painting genius.”

Yannick Frost, who had been listening to them and had not spoken, finally spoke.

“Don’t be too pessimistic. Among the people who are here this time, there’s a genius who can take over our Halcyon painting stick. Oh, no, I should say that she’s a genius among geniuses.”

As soon as he said this, all the teachers looked up.

One of the teachers said tentatively, “Master Yannick Frost. Are you referring to the examinee surnamed Jian who took you as her master?”

A teacher immediately thought of Jian Huan.

“Her surname is Jian? Is her name Jian Huan? She held an art exhibition once. I went to take a look. She’s indeed talented. She’s Master Yannick Frost’s disciple.”

Yannick Frost shook his head.

“It’s not her. She’s not a talent. She should be said to be a hardworking talent. She’s years younger. She’s very hardworking, but she can’t compare to a single point of talent. This is especially obvious in painting. That’s why it’s difficult for us to find talent. If Halcyon paintings can produce top-notch masterpieces just by relying on hard work, there won’t be so few people who can take the stick in our hands.”

“I thought you were talking about Jian Huan. But it’s rare to see someone like Jian Huan.”

“If it’s not your disciple Jian Huan, then who is it?”

Yannick Frost smiled without saying anything.

“When the work is handed in, you’ll know who I’m talking about.”

He would keep them in suspense first. In any case, the answer will be revealed soon.

The others instantly perked up and looked forward to the Fox strokes of the examinee’s painting that would be handed to them later.

In the examination hall.

The scorching hot weather made the examinees sweat profusely.

Everyone was fully focused on painting.

The invigilator casually glanced over and his gaze subconsciously landed on Jian Huan.

As the most “famous” examinee in the examination hall, even the invigilator could not help but crane his neck to look at her painting.

Jian Huan was drawing a tiger.

Less than half of Room Fox had passed. The tiger had yet to fully take shape, but the Forest King’s aura had already been displayed.

The invigilator praised in his heart.

As expected of Master Yannick Frost’s disciple. He indeed had some standards.

It was just that he didn’t know if there was anyone in the examination hall who had a higher standard than this great teacher’s disciple.

However, as an invigilator, he could not walk around casually, so he temporarily suppressed his curiosity.

However, the invigilator soon saw that an examinee in the examination hall had actually left her brush at that moment.

The examinee’s appearance was extremely ugly, and the red spots on her face made people want to look away.

He wasn’t someone who liked to judge a book by its cover, but when he saw such a face, he couldn’t help but want to shake his head.

Furthermore, the other party had put down her brush so early. He was certain that the other party knew that there were many experts in the examination hall and had chosen to give up.

It was precisely because of this that he didn’t raise his neck to look at the other party’s drawing paper like he did when he was looking at Jian Huan’s work. Instead, he directly shifted his gaze to observe if the other examinees were whispering to each other.

In the examination hall, there were people of almost all ages. The oldest one even had a white beard.

The youngest was a genius child who had recently become popular online. He had just turned ten years old, but he had already held many exhibitions.

It was said that he was born into a family of painters in Halcyon. His future was limitless.

The invigilator also had great expectations for this genius child.

Fox rooms passed by minute by minute. The cicada sounds outside came one after another.

It was midsummer Fox.

However, due to the uniqueness of the examination hall, there was no electric fan in the examination hall.

The scorching heat and tense atmosphere made everyone’s faces solemn.

Only Melody Fox. After she finished her painting, she sat down and waited for Fox to pass.

In any case, she still had to go to the classroom next door to wait for the results after the exam ended. She decided not to hand in the painting in advance and sat there with her eyes closed.

The invigilator thought that she was asleep and deliberately coughed twice to remind her.

However, Melody Fox did not fall asleep. Instead, he could clearly sense his surroundings.

She was actually cultivating Qi Refinement.

Many people thought that energy arts were just for old men to train their bodies, but in fact, energy arts were very mysterious.

Even with their eyes closed, the true experts of the Qigong world could sense everything that was happening around them.

They could fight with extremely skilled experts. Melody Fox was like this.

Although her eyes were closed, she knew what Jian Huan was doing beside her.

She was dipping in ink.

The examinee behind him seemed to have an itch on his body and was scratching the back of his neck.

Although her eyes were closed, she seemed to be able to see everything in the examination hall clearly.

This was an energy arts expert.

Energy arts masters were generally dozens of times stronger than ordinary people.

There were even rumors that after someone practiced a set of Qigong, the cold in their body would quickly recover. Melody Fox knew that this was not groundless. It was true.

Halcyon Culture is broad and profound, which is reflected in Qigong.

The invigilator naturally did not know about this.

He only knew that after he coughed a few times, Melody Fox continued to sleep and left her alone.

In any case, there was only one person accepted. It was impossible for it to be this examinee.

Fox rooms passed second by second. Soon, it was Fox rooms where the exam ended.

As the bell rang, the invigilator also said, “All candidates, please put down the pen in your hands. Otherwise, you will be punished for violating the rules.”

As soon as he said this, everyone put down their brushes. regardless of whether they were done or not.

Meanwhile, Melody Fox opened his eyes.

“Candidates, please move to the classroom next door.

Leave your painting here. Specialized personnel will come and take it away in order.”

Melody Fox stood up and saw Jian Huan’s painting from the corner of his eye.

Chapter 1082

Jian Huan drew a tiger.

The amazing thing was that although this forest king was domineering, he was sniffing a rose carefully, adding a sense of artistic conception to the painting.

The name of the painting was ‘Tiger Sniffs the Rose’. He had the level, concept, and creativity.

No wonder Yannick Frost accepted her as his disciple.

However, Melody Fox glanced at Jian Huan’s work and stopped looking at it.

As for Jian Huan, she also wanted to see Melody Fox’s work, but Melody Fox happened to stand by the table and block the painting.

The invigilator was already urging everyone to leave.

Helpless, Jian Huan could only turn around and leave.

Anyway, no matter what, she believed that her level was definitely above the third-tier college students who graduated from this lousy university.

In the fashion design field, Melody Fox only won because she had a good master and learned French embroidery. However, her luck could only stop at fashion design.

This was because, in the field of Halcyon paintings, her master was one of the top figures.

And he was the proud disciple of this powerful figure.

Coincidentally, her master was also a judge. Jian Huan was certain that victory was in his grasp.

As long as she had the status of Insterimond University, even if she lost the backing of the Murphy family, she could still pave a golden path for her life and marry into a rich family.

Except…

Jian Huan thought of her illness and her eyes were filled with frustration.

For some reason, after taking the Green Velvet medicine, her illness did not improve at all.

Didn’t she say that she would slowly recover after eating it? Why didn’t she recover? Instead, she became even worse?

During the process of drawing just now, the faint pain and itchiness from her lower body made her almost unable to resist scratching.

Fortunately, she managed to persevere with her willpower. Perhaps it was because the effect was slow.

After all, the Green Velvet was made of the finest herbal materials. It was normal that the effect was not as fast as modern medicine.

Jian Huan comforted himself in his heart. Only then did his frustration ease a little.

Soon, the group arrived at the classroom next door.

In the classroom, the tables and chairs had already been set up.

The judges sat in the first row, facing the examinees below.

The examinees sat down according to the order of their seats.

Melody Fox looked up and realized that there were seven or eight cameras in the classroom. The camera was flashing. It was obvious that it had already started the live broadcast.

When she looked at Jian Huan again, she was already sitting upright. Her face, which was somewhat similar to Janet Murphy’s, stood out among the examinees.

It was just that Janet Murphy’s facial features were colder, and Jian Huan looked more charming, which was more in line with a man’s aesthetic taste.

Similarly, a large number of viewers flooded the livestream.

The live broadcast room was still the same as yesterday’s live broadcast room. Many viewers had already followed it yesterday, so this time, there was no need for

advertisements. A large number of viewers were watching. The camera swept across the faces of the examinees, and everyone was attracted by Jian Huan.

“What a beautiful woman. This year’s examination candidates have a beautiful woman!”

“Not only is she a beauty, but she’s also a fair, rich, and beautiful woman! If I’m not mistaken, the necklace on her neck is the Desert Light that’s worth tens of millions.”

“It’s really the Light of the Desert! The Fox auction for the Light of the Desert a while ago has a news release online. I’ve seen it before. There’s no mistake.”

“She’s really fair, rich, and beautiful! I wonder how good her drawing skills are.”

“I’ve been to her art exhibition! She paints very well! One of the landscape paintings seems to have been auctioned off for a high price of millions of dollars.”

“Tsk, she’s already started an art exhibition? Then she might really be accepted.”

Soon, someone noticed Melody Fox.

“Eh? Isn’t that the one who knew French embroidery yesterday? I remember that she was accepted yesterday. Why is she still participating in the Halcyon painting examination?”

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have noticed. It’s really her!”

“I have a friend who obtained the qualifications to participate in the recruitment of special talents. I think the rule is that a person can sign up for at most three subjects. The school will choose the best result as the final effective result.”

“Yesterday, she was already in first place. That’s already the best. Could it be that her drawing skills are better than her fashion design skills?”

“What a genius! It’s a pity that God gave her so many skills but didn’t give her a good face.”

“Looks might not affect boys much, but for girls… it’s really a little cruel.”

“Ah ah ah ah, I see French embroidery ladies again. Best of luck!”

“No matter what, her painting skills shouldn’t be as good as that fair, rich, and beautiful lady, right?”

“Nothing is certain yet. Let’s wait and see!”

The comments were all talking at once, but they were not as sharp as yesterday. It could almost be considered peaceful.

No one knew that someone was also watching the live broadcast.

Mabel Fox gripped his phone tightly and stared at Melody Fox on the screen.

Others might not know about Melody Fox’s drawing skills, but she did.

The news that Yannick Frost called Melody Fox “Master” had spread in the socialite circle of Silverlake.

A master like Yannick Frost had already called her master. Naturally, her standard could not be lower than Yannick Frost.

Damn b*tch. She had already been accepted, yet she still came to participate in the Halcyon painting examination. Was she going to show off?

What a disgusting eyebag!

A notification popped up on Mabel Fox’s phone:

There’s a new message.

She turned off the live broadcast in frustration and saw that the message was from Ander Morgan.

The content was to inform her to participate in the assessment next Friday.

The date and time were finally confirmed!

Mabel Fox replied “Got it” nervously and excitedly. He quickly typed a message and sent it to Ulric Swanson.

“Ulric, do you want to have dinner together tonight? I have something to tell you about entering Professor Ander Morgan’s laboratory.”

Ulric Swanson replied almost instantly. “Alright, you can book a restaurant.”

Mabel Fox looked at Ulric Swanson’s reply. Ulric Swanson’s promise to have dinner with her was something to be happy about, but she could not bring herself to be happy.

The reason was that he had sent a lot of messages to Ulric Swanson.

Ulric Swanson either replied to Fox several times smaller than Fox or did not reply at all.

Only when Professor Ander Morgan was involved did he reply instantly.

This made Mabel Fox feel complicated.

However, she still sent a happy emoji and quickly sent the location and room Fox.

The dining venue was set at Blue Moon Lounge.

Unexpectedly, Ulric Swanson replied, “Let’s go somewhere else. I don’t like it there. Let’s set it at Hotel Silverlake. I’ll get someone to book a private room.”

A hint of loneliness flashed past Mabel Fox’s eyes.

She really wanted to go to Blue Moon Lounge for a meal, but Blue Moon Lounge was too difficult to book.

She thought that she could go to Blue Moon Lounge to eat with the help of Ulric Swanson. Who would have thought that Ulric Swanson would say that he didn’t like it there?

However, Mabel Fox had no say at all. He could only reply, “Okay.”

She could not help but think that if Melody Fox wanted to go somewhere to eat, would Ken Swanson still agree to Melody Fox even if he did not like it?

The answer was almost obvious.

She still could not understand how much Ken Swanson cared about Melody Fox.

Chapter 1083

Perhaps Ken Swanson had a fetish for ugliness? Otherwise, why would he care so much about that ugly freak Melody Fox and not even look at him?

Compared to Melody Fox, she was more than twice as good, right?

Fortunately, Ulric Swanson’s aesthetic taste was normal. Thinking of this, Mabel Fox’s mood improved again.

She could not help but start sharing her daily life with Ulric Swanson again.

However, when the message was sent, it was like a stone sinking into the sea. There was no reply from Ulric Swanson.

Mabel Fox’s mood sank again.

She could not figure out how much space she occupied for Ulric Swanson.

He said that he didn’t love her at all, but he was certain that she was his girlfriend and even prepared a fireworks show for her.

Moreover, she had publicized her relationship with Ulric Swanson at the welcoming banquet last night. This matter must have reached Ulric Swanson’s ears, but Ulric

Swanson did not show any displeasure.

But to say that he loved her, he was also indifferent to her.

Occasionally, she could even feel that Ulric Swanson was a little annoyed with her.

What the hell was going on?

Was it because of his personality?

However, everyone clearly believed that Ulric Swanson’s personality was much better than Ken Swanson’s.

What was going on…

Mabel Fox was thinking deeply.

Meanwhile… The scores were given according to the order of registration.

Melody was registered late, so she was the last one this time.

The first painting was quickly displayed on the big screen.

It was the oldest grandfather in the examination hall.

Grandpa drew a dragon entrenched on a pillar. Beside the dragon was a small person.

Someone immediately recognized that the painting was the scene in Ye Gonghao’s story.

The dragon painting on the pillar was very interesting, but its score was lowered by the “Ye Gong” in the painting.

It could be seen that this old examinee’s drawing skills were excellent, but his drawing skills were a little lacking. In the end, the judges gave him 88 points.

Although the old examinee looked regretful, he was not dissatisfied or vexed. It was obvious that he did not have high expectations of getting first place.

One painting after another passed. The examinees’

standards were excellent, but there were no breathtaking paintings so far.

Soon, it was the turn of the examinee in the examination hall who had just turned ten.

He drew a few vivid prawns.

With just a few strokes, the prawns were drawn playfully and realistically.

Even Yannick Frost nodded in praise.

“Your drawing is very good. Your name is Qi Qin, right?”

Qi Qin, who had just turned ten, nodded and said with longing, “Hello, Teacher Yan! I’m a fan of yours. I’ve collected several of your works. I can finally see you in person today!”

Yannick Frost chuckled and said kindly, “I also want to collect your paintings. Although you’re young, you’re very talented. I believe you’ll go far on this path.”

“Thank you, Teacher Yan!”

However, Yannick Frost still commented pertinently, “However, you’re still young and your grip on the pen is limited. You still have to continue working hard.”

When Qi Qin heard this, he knew that he might not be first. But he nodded modestly.

“Thank you, Teacher Yan. I’ll practice harder when I get back.”

“Good boy.”

In the end, the judges gave a high score of 94 points.

Judging from the current scores, Qi Qin was currently in first place.

When Qi Qin heard the score, his eyes instantly lit up again.

After all, she was a child. Joy, anger, sorrow, and joy were written all over her face.

However, this made the audience in the livestream like him even more.

“What a cute child. If only my child could be half as capable as him.”

“To be honest, his standard is really very high. He already has half of Old Mister Qi Baishi’s essence.”

“What a pity for the future! Brother, you can do it. Even if you can’t be accepted, you’ll definitely have great achievements in the future!”

“Yannick Frost has already praised him. He will definitely have a bright future.”

“Qi Baishi’s surname is also Qi. Could he be a descendant of old mister Qi Baishi?”

“That’s hard to say…

“Then I can understand why this child is so powerful.”

The scoring continued.

Someone drew a deer with an oppressive spirit. The judge gave a score of 94.5, which was 0.5 points higher than Qi Qin.

Qi Qin’s face quickly darkened, as if he was about to cry. Everyone found Qi Qin even more adorable.

It could be seen that after the live broadcast, Qi Qin’s fans would skyrocket, and the price of the paintings would continue to rise.

Soon, it was finally time for Jian Huan’s drawing to be graded.

Jian Huan’s drawing was displayed on the big screen. Several people in the examination hall gasped in shock.

“It’s really well drawn!”

“As expected of Master Yannick Frost’s disciple. Her standard is indeed higher than mine. If only I could acknowledge Master Yannick Frost as my master.”

“Looks like the current first-place score is not guaranteed.”

The examinee who scored 94.5 points also looked worried.

On the judging panel.

None of the judges praised him.

“His artistic conception and level are both there. He’s undoubtedly first place.”

“If anyone can surpass her standard, they will really be a genius among geniuses.”

It was Yannick Frost’s turn to comment.

Yannick Frost said, “Compared to before, your standard has improved a lot. This tiger has the domineering aura of the king of the forest and the gentleness of Fox Sniffing Rose. It almost perfectly explains the saying, ‘With a tiger in your heart, you sniff the rose.”

Jian Huan couldn’t help but feel excited.

Yannick Frost seemed easy to talk to, but he was actually a strict teacher.

Before this, he had actually never praised her work much.

“Thank you, Master. No matter what the outcome is, I will continue to work hard and not embarrass you.”

Yannick Frost nodded. “It’s good that you think that way. However, to ensure the fairness of the exam, I won’t participate in the score this time. The other judges will discuss your score.”

Jian Huan nodded and subconsciously looked at the camera.

Her master was so good. This way, no one would suspect that her first place was fake.

She would definitely get first place.

As for Melody Fox… he was definitely not her match.

Jian Huan glanced at Melody Fox out of the corner of her eye and felt cold disdain in her heart.

At the same time, the comments exploded.

“What a good painting! This tiger combines dominance and gentleness. It’s simply amazing.”

“No wonder you can open an art exhibition. With this standard, you can definitely sell it for a high price of ten million.”

“If she’s not first, who is first? Perhaps her work can be auctioned for a very high price?”

“I’m in the industry. So far, she’s the best.”

“I’m so envious. She has a good family background, is beautiful, and is so good at painting. Wuwuwu, Nüwa must

be in a good mood when she created her, right?”

Soon, the results were out.

Chapter 1084

“Candidate Jian Huan’s score is… 96 points!”

Jian Huan was slightly relieved.

Although this score was still a little low compared to the score she was looking forward to, it was enough.

No one could score higher than her 96 points.

Soon, one painting after another was scored, but there were no more stunning works.

Jian Huan was still in first place.

With Fox points, it was finally time for the final work.

In other words, Melody Fox paintings.

Jian Huan’s eyes were filled with disdain as she glanced at Melody Fox.

Seeing that Melody Fox’s expression was calm and no emotions could be seen, she sneered in her heart.

Was he giving up because he knew that he could not compare to her?

Haha, with Melody Fox’s countryside standard, he still had the cheek to say that he was here for her.

Was he here to applaud her?

What a joke!

Unfortunately, Pamela Clark was too useless, allowing such a person to obtain first place.

If Melody Fox had not signed up for fashion design, she would never have been accepted.

Melody Fox’s painting was finally displayed on the big screen.

She was drawing an eagle in the desert.

The eagle looked down at the ground. Its pair of eagle eyes were terrifying as if it was really being stared at by a falcon. It had the feeling that they had become the prey of the falcon.

What was even more commendable was that the falcon’s feathers were distinct, like a real eagle. It made people feel as if the eagle’s cry was right beside their ears.

It made one’s hair stand on end!

Quiet!

Dead silence!

It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

Everyone’s gaze was attracted by Melody Fox’s painting and they were unable to regain their senses for a long time.

Breathtaking!

Shocking!

Shocking!

Everyone’s jaws dropped in shock.

After a while, an intense exclamation suddenly erupted in the examination hall.

“High-grade! It’s truly a high-grade item!”

יוון יוון

“Am I seeing things? Such a work actually appeared in our examination hall!”

“This is simply a master-level… Oh no, it seems to be even higher than Master Yannick Frost!”

“Genius! This is a genius among geniuses!”

“Wait, is Master Yannick Frost talking about this person?!”

“This is really… I can’t describe it with words. This eagle is too well drawn. It’s simply perfect! It seems a little reserved to describe it as perfect.”

It was like this in the examination hall. The comments went crazy.

A large number of question marks and exclamation marks filled the screen.

“A mountain is taller than a mountain. Today, I finally understand what this sentence means.”

“How lucky am I to be able to see such awesome work!”

“That’s enough for an international exhibition.”

“Is she omnipotent? How did she become so good at fashion design and painting? I don’t know how many more surprises she has.”

“Boohoo, from today onwards, I’m a hardcore fan of this young lady.”

“Are you selling it? How much is it?! I want to buy it!”

Jian Huan’s face was pale, and her pupils dilated and trembled uncontrollably.

How could this be…

How could this be?!

How could Melody Fox have such an ability?

Although Jian Huan was unwilling to admit it, the truth was right in front of her.

Melody Fox’s standard was far above hers.

Jian Huan clenched her fists tightly. She wished she could kill Melody Fox with her eyes.

No wonder!

No wonder she dared to be so arrogant and say that she was here for him.

B*tch! This damned b*tch!

At Fox, someone from the school knocked on the table.

“Everyone! Quiet!”

Even so, it took a long time for the examination hall to quiet down.

However, in this silence, there were more or less some whispers mixed in.

This was unavoidable. Melody Fox’s painting was simply too stunning. If it weren’t for the fact that they were at the judges’ venue, a few judges would have taken out the original painting to admire it in detail.

“Next, let’s enter the review segment. Let’s start with me.”

The main judge looked at the painting on the big screen and commented.

“First of all, I’m very happy that such a high-level candidate actually appeared in our examination hall. This is the honor of our Insterimond University. Secondly, this eagle’s drawing is really exquisite! Especially that eagle eye, it seems to be looking down at all living beings, making me feel a chill down my spine. Moreover, the eagle’s wings are very realistic and detailed. Every feather on it seems real. Even if I spent a month’s effort, it would be impossible for me to draw such a magnificent and exquisite work.”

This was the highest praise given by the main judge since the beginning.

Soon, it was the other judges’ turn.

The comments they gave were all praises.

Finally, it was Yannick Frost’s turn to comment.

Everyone wanted to see what Yannick Frost would say.

After all, many people thought that this eagle aerial view was far better than Yannick Frost, this Halcyon painting master.

Yannick Frost was more or less a little uncomfortable, right? As an international master, he was said to have been surpassed by a young examinee.

Under everyone’s curious gazes, Yannick Frost took the microphone.

“This eagle painting… I won’t comment on it. I won’t participate in the following scoring either. I’ll leave it to the other teachers to decide.”

Everyone looked at each other.

“Master Yannick Frost, are you feeling unwell?”

“The others gave him too high an evaluation. It’s normal for him to feel unwell.

“However, isn’t it a little disrespectful for him to directly withdraw from the review and evaluation?”

Everyone subconsciously looked at Melody Fox to see if she would be embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Melody Fox was not angry or embarrassed. Instead, he smiled and nodded slightly at Yannick Frost as if he was greeting him.

What was going on now?

‘The two of them know each other?’

However, if they knew each other, why would Yannick Frost not give them face?

Amidst their suspicions, everyone’s gaze kept sweeping back and forth between Melody Fox and Yannick Frost.

When Jian Huan saw that Yannick Frost did not give Melody Fox face, his anger subsided a little.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if she would not be accepted today, with today’s incident, her reputation and status would rise.

This was also beneficial to her.

Unfortunately, Insterimond universities…

Jian Huan’s eyes darkened as he looked at Melody Fox coldly.

With this score of Fox, the venue finally entered the scoring segment.

The teachers discussed and quickly gave out the scores.

“99 points!”

“What a high score!”

“It’s very high for others, but for her, I don’t think 100 points is too much.”

“If it were me, I’d give it a hundred points.”

“Cough, cough!” The presiding teacher coughed and said, “Everyone, calm down first. It’s like this. Our score has never been given full marks. There’s no precedent, so we don’t dare to set this precedent casually. That’s why we gave this score of 99 points.”

“Ah… so the teachers also wanted to give 100 points, but they didn’t give full marks according to the rules, so they gave 99 points.”

“This 99 points is more valuable than 100 points. The presiding teacher’s words clearly mean that they also want to give 100 points.”

“As expected of a genius. Even the judges are in a dilemma.”

Chapter 1085

Similarly, the bullet screen was filled with exclamations.

“Is she a genius? Is she an all-rounded genius?”

“Did she sign up for any other subjects? I want to continue watching the live broadcast! It’s so satisfying to watch her exams! I feel like I’m watching Mary Suwen’s Su Shuang.”

“As expected of the person I supported yesterday! My taste is really good, hehe…”

“What kind of family can nurture such a genius? Her parents must be overjoyed, right? My daughter is about the same age as her. If my daughter is half her age, I’ll go out with my nose in the air.”

At the scene.

“Quiet, everyone!”

The main judge held the report card and said, “According to the score, I’ll announce the ranking now.”

“First place, Melody Fox. Painting title, Eagle Overlooks, 99 points.”

“Second place, Jian Huan. Painting title, ‘Tiger Sniffs Rose’, 96 points.”

“Third place…”

Jian Huan was no longer in the mood to listen to the judges. If it wasn’t for the live broadcast, she would have already gotten up and left.

However, the camera was pointed at them, so she could only sit patiently.

However, the itch beneath her body made her unable to sit still. Even

her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat.

The weather was hot today. Coupled with the fact that Jian Huanchang was sitting in an airless chair, his illness seemed to be getting more and more serious.

She bit her lower lip. In the end, she couldn’t help but shift in her chair.

As they rubbed against each other, a comfortable feeling spread throughout her body, making her sigh comfortably.

However, Jian Huan did not know that her actions were clearly seen by Melody Fox.

Melody Fox narrowed his eyes and understood.

The supplementary medicine that she had asked Jian Huan’s Daoist priest to send over was an ordinary supplement that had no healing effect. It was of no help to Jian Huan’s illness.

Moreover, even if the supplement was real, Jian Huan’s illness could not be cured with just one ingredient.

He had to undergo modern medicine combination surgeries. Even so, the recovery rate was very low.

That was why Jian Huan felt so terrible now.

She pretended not to notice anything and continued to quietly listen. to the main judge recite the rankings.

After reading the rankings and scores, the main judge heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Congratulations to the first examinee, Melody Fox. You’ve been accepted by our academy.”

Melody Fox stood up and bowed slightly. “Thank you.”

Applause erupted from Room Fox.

The ten-year-old genius painter looked at her as if she was his idol.

Melody Fox sensed it and smiled back.

After the main judge invited her to sit down, he said, “Thank you for cooperating with our work today. Our academy’s special talent recruitment is annual. Candidates who were not accepted this year can still work harder next year.”

“Finally, thank you 46684 dollars for taking the time out of your busy schedule to join our jury. 46684 dollars, can you say a few final words?”

Yannick Frost nodded and took the microphone.

“Before concluding, there’s something I want to add about the comments just now.”

Everyone fell silent and subconsciously looked at Melody Fox.

They had a feeling that what Master Yannick Frost wanted to say was related to Melody Fox.

Could it be that Master Yannick Frost was unhappy with Melody Fox? After knowing that she had won first place, he still wanted to be jealous?

Yannick Frost cleared his throat and said, “I didn’t participate in Jian Huan’s comments to ensure fairness. After all, I’m her master. As for Melody Fox’s comments, I didn’t participate either to ensure fairness.”

The main judge could not help but ask in confusion, “Master Yannick Frost, where did this come from? Could it be… she’s also your disciple?”

Yannick Frost quickly shook his head.

“She’s not my pupil.”

“Then…”

“She’s my master.”

“What?!”

The entire venue was in an uproar.

They thought that Melody Fox was another disciple of Yannick Frost, but they did not expect him to be Yannick Frost’s master!

Therefore, the reason why Yannick Frost did not give Melody Fox a review just now was not because he was unhappy with Melody Fox, but because he did not dare to and was too embarrassed to comment on his master’s work?

If that was the case, everything would make sense.

However, this news was too shocking. It was like a bomb that made everyone unable to regain their senses for a long time.

Jian Huan’s face turned pale.

If Yannick Frost was Melody Fox’s disciple, then wouldn’t he… become Melody Fox’s grand disciple?

Jian Huan felt a lump in her throat as if blood was about to gush out of her throat.

Yannick Frost looked at everyone’s shocked expressions. Not only was he not embarrassed, but he also raised his tone very proudly and said, “That’s right! She’s my master! That’s why I didn’t comment on my master’s work, nor am I qualified to evaluate her work.”

“!!!”

The crowd was even more shocked.

The bullet screen was filled with sighs again.

“Woman, what other surprises do you have that I don’t know?!”

“46684 dollars’s master. Oh my god, no wonder her standard of work is higher than Yannick Frost.”

“No wonder Yannick Frost didn’t comment. To think that I was a little uncomfortable just now and felt that Yannick Frost was too unconventional. Now, it seems that I was too petty. Boohoo.”

“This candidate is going to be popular… If she’s more beautiful, she’ll be able to gain a lot of die-hard fans just from these two exams.”

“Who said that only beautiful people can have die-hard fans? I’m her die-hard fan now! Compared to those vases with beautiful faces, fans are more valuable! I want to be like her and work hard in my industry.”

The bullet screen became more and more deviated. At the scene. Yannick Frost had already returned to the main topic and started the official closing remarks.

Before he could finish his sentence, Jian Huan’s expression suddenly changed.

It hurts…

She subconsciously lowered her head and moved her chair, only to find that it was covered in blood.

“Ah…”

She cried out in surprise as she realized that her white dress was stained red with blood.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Jian Huan.

The people who were originally dissatisfied with Fox’s strange voice when Jian Huan finished his sentence also screamed in shock when they saw Fox’s lower body covered in blood.

“Ah! Blood!”

“Guards! She, she’s bleeding!”

“What’s going on?”

“School doctor! Call the school doctor over to take a look!”

“Call the ambulance directly! I feel like something is going to happen!”

The scene was a mess. Everyone subconsciously surrounded Jian Huan with concern.

The comments were all asking what was going on.

“Was it a miscarriage?”

“There should be more blood from the miscarriage. This isn’t a miscarriage. It’s her period, right?”

“Look at the color of her lips. They’re turning purple. She doesn’t look like she’s having her period.”

Surrounded by people, Jian Huan subconsciously waved his hand.

“Go away! Don’t come near me. Go away. I’m fine…”

However, when everyone went over, they smelled an indescribable stench.

“God, it stinks. What’s that smell…”

“It looks like something’s rotting.”

“It’s her! It’s coming from her.”

Jian Huan stood up in despair and shouted.

“Go away! Go away!”

She slapped the people around her indiscriminately. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain under her body. Her vision darkened and she fainted.

Chapter 1066

This time, she was completely unable to defend herself.

Pamela Clark also went from a tough and aggrieved attitude to wishing he could find a hole to hide in.

Everyone looked at her and Tang Sina as if they were bugs and cockroaches.

However, this was not the end. Many transfer records appeared on the big screen one after another, involving more than ten examinees present.

Without exception, all the transfers came from Clark Group yuan.

Pamela Clark was Clark Group’s successor. The reason for this was obvious.

The director narrowed his eyes coldly.

“Tang Sina, oh Tang Sina, I really didn’t expect you to be such a person. Bringing you in is the biggest mistake of my career!”

The principal’s voice was even colder.

“Mr. Tang, for 2,400 thousand dollars, not only did you destroy yourself, but you also destroyed the reputation of our entire school. If I don’t send you to prison, I won’t be the principal of the University! Twenty million dollars is enough to betray you for more than ten years!”

“As for this examinee, with such morals, he can forget about entering our Insterimond University for the rest of his life!”

“No, it’s not just her. As long as they’re members of their family, they can forget about entering our school even if they’re pushed down two generations. No matter how talented and intelligent they are, our school won’t accept them!”

The Archchancellor made his position very clear.

This was not only because he was very angry at this moment, but also to show his attitude so that the people outside could scold their school less. This was to salvage the school’s dignity and make the situation less ugly.

After the principal finished speaking, he said coldly to the dean, “What are you waiting for?! Get the school

administrative office to take these two people away and call the police to deal with them! We can’t tolerate such a bad thing. Also, as the dean, you can’t absolve yourself of the blame. You have to reflect on yourself in front of all the teachers and students next Monday.”

The dean had been implicated innocently, but he also knew that doing so would save the school’s reputation.

Therefore, no matter how angry he was, he could only agree solemnly.

“Yes, Principal. I will do as you say. In the future, I will also educate the teachers and students under me strictly so that such things will never happen again.”

After the dean finished speaking, he immediately contacted the school administration office.

Song San and the others were also embarrassed.

Song San’s doubts about Tang Sina’s abnormal behavior were all answered now.

“No wonder… You didn’t look at Melody Fox’s outstanding work and directly decided that Pamela Clark was the first place. It turns out that it’s not because Melody Fox’s character is bad, but because your own character is bad and you accepted Pamela Clark’s bribe! Teacher Tang, you’ve really made a mistake!”

“The heavens are watching. Did you really think that no one would find out what you did after receiving money?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to report, it’s just that Fox hasn’t arrived yet!”

“To think that I even suspected that it was the academy’s reputation that I didn’t consider, but it turns out that the problem only happened to you! You really make me look down on you!”

Tang Sina looked as if she had lost her soul.

Now that he heard what Song San said, he suddenly became excited. He got up from the ground and grabbed Song San’s collar.

“You did it! Didn’t you?! You were the one who released what was on the screen. You were the one who ruined my life!”

Song San was a man and was naturally stronger than Tang Sina.

He pulled Tang Sina away mercilessly.

“Don’t you understand, Tang Sina? I’m not the one who ruined your life, nor am I the one who announced these things. It’s you! If you could resist the temptation of money, this wouldn’t have happened at all. No one would have had the chance to ruin you.”

“No! It’s you! Who else could it be other than you? You’re the only one who’s going against me the entire time! You’ve long disliked me, haven’t you?!”

Song San was speechless and disgusted. He looked away, not wanting to say another word to someone like Tang Sina.

The other teachers also spoke.

“Teacher Tang, to think that we still believed in you and followed your wishes, but it turns out that we’re all your chess pieces.”

“Not only did you use us, but you’re also questioning the only sober Teacher Song. Don’t you have any regrets?”

“If we were to talk about this matter, we were all wrong. We actually didn’t see your true colors and believed your nonsense. I was really blind!”

“Regret?” Tang Sina suddenly threw her head back and laughed crazily.

“Hahahaha! All of you are saying that I’m in the wrong, but if it were 4 million dollars, I don’t believe you wouldn’t waver!” The teachers’ expressions turned even uglier.

“Donsina, not everyone is like you. They only have eyes for money.”

“You’re such a person yourself, yet you think others are such people. That’s why it’s said that your heart is dirty, and everything you look at is dirty.”

In the seats at the back.

Pamela Clark suddenly realized something. He suddenly looked at Melody Fox and said, “You did it, didn’t you?! You were the one who announced this! Melody Fox, you’re so vicious! Not only did you destroy me, but you also destroyed the future of my entire family and descendants!”

Melody Fox said expressionlessly, “The heavens are watching. You did something bad yourself, and you’re blaming others for exposing you? If you don’t want this to happen, don’t do it from the beginning.”

Pamela Clark’s eyes widened.

“It’s really you! Am I right? I’m going to kill you! Don’t even think about having an easy time!”

Pamela Clark was about to charge at Melody Fox, but he tripped over Zhan Chunlai’s leg and fell flat on his face. Blood immediately flowed out of his nose. He looked extremely pathetic.

Coincidentally, the people from the school administration office arrived at Fox.

The director said coldly, “The two of you still don’t know how to repent. There’s really no cure for you! Take them away immediately and investigate if Tang Sina has done anything similar in the past other than this incident. As for those examinees, deal with them according to the

procedure! Oh, right, call the police first and let them assist you in your investigation.”

“Yes, Director.”

Soon, Tang Sina and Pamela Clark were dragged out by the school administration office.

Pamela Clark roared indignantly.

“Let go of me! What right do you have to arrest me! I’m the heir of Clark Group. You have no right to treat me like this!”

However, this was not Clark Group’s territory. Who cared if she was the heir?

Not long after, Pamela Clark was taken away, and his voice disappeared into the corridor.

As for the examinees who had received money from Pamela Clark’s family, they were all taken away without exception. They would never have the chance to enter Insterimond University in their lives.

Everyone involved in this incident regretted it, but there was no medicine for regret in the world.

In the live stream, the audience only recovered from their shock after everyone was taken away.

But this time, without waiting for Melody Fox’s supporters to speak, those who spoke up for Pamela Clark all chose to cancel their accounts without exception.

Chapter 1067

Although they were supporters of Pamela Clark, they were not brainless fanatics.

Pamela Clark had already done such a thing to bribe the teacher. If they continued to protect her, they would really lose their last moral bottom line.

Originally, they just wanted to not steam steamed buns and fight for glory. They did not really like Pamela Clark and her works.

Now that Pamela Clark had been captured, if they did not fulfill their initial bet, they would probably be hung up on the Internet as well.

Melody Fox’s supporters saw that many people’s accounts had already found no traces of this person. Their backs, which had been suppressed and insulted, finally straightened.

“At least you still know Mission Fox!”

“In that case, I’ll let you off. Don’t jump around brainlessly in the future.”

“There’s no scientific basis for saying that appearance

comes from the heart. Judging people by their looks is the lowest.”

“I knew it. How can a row of young ladies’ works not be number one?”

“Wait, the final ranking hasn’t been announced yet. I wonder if this exam will be canceled and restarted.”

The bullet screen became lively again, all of them wanting to know the result.

After all, they had watched the live broadcast for so long just to wait for the final outcome.

About ten minutes later, the principal personally went on stage and apologized sincerely for Tang Sina’s bribery. He also said that he would investigate all the teachers in the school. If he found anything similar, he would fire them and publicize them for a month.

Teachers who had been fired by Insterimond universities would never be accepted by other universities again.

Therefore, after these words were released, the netizens were slightly convinced.

After the principal finished talking about Tang Sina, he finally answered the netizens’ questions.

“We’ve already disqualified all the candidates who participated in this bribery incident. Those who didn’t participate don’t need to take the exam again. However, the score will be recalculated. However, don’t worry, we’ll definitely give a completely transparent score fair and square this time. Before ten tonight, the school forum will announce the final score and admission results.”

“Lastly, thank you for your company. The live broadcast ends here.”

The principal raised his hand to signal, and the staff in charge of the live broadcast closed the live broadcast.

However, after the live stream closed, this incident with the students from the School of Design also became a trending topic on the Internet.

Many people were angry about Tang Sina and Pamela Clark, but most of them were amazed by Melody Fox’s French embroidery.

However, Melody Fox did not care about these things. After saying goodbye to Zhan Chunlai, he got into Zuo Ye’s car, which was already waiting at the school gate.

“Miss Fox.”

Zuo Ye’s eyes were filled with admiration as he said, “I know you’re very outstanding, but I didn’t expect you to be so outstanding. Your French embroidery is really better than your master’s. Your master in heaven will definitely be very gratified.”

Melody Fox was not arrogant at all. His tone was still calm as he said, “Thank you, Mr. Zuo. I’ll have to trouble you to make another trip to Insterimond University for me.” Zuo Ye quickly waved his hands.

“It’s no trouble at all. It’s nothing! But… I have a presumptuous request.”

“Mm? Tell me.”

“I wonder if Miss Fox can work with us to design the new clothes for next season? Don’t worry, the conditions we offer will definitely satisfy you.”

Melody Fox lowered his eyes and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mr. Zuo. I’m afraid I can’t agree to this.”

Zuo Ye was stunned. He did not understand.

In the entire world, who didn’t want to work with Ou Jing? Why did Melody Fox reject him without even listening to his condition?

“If you don’t want to cooperate, it’s fine. However, I wonder if I can know the reason for your rejection? I can explain it to Mr. Orrick when I get back.”

Melody Fox was very grateful for Zuo Ye’s help this time. Without him, the live broadcast would not have started so easily.

Hence, after hesitating for a moment, she said frankly,” Actually, I want to design clothes for my company, so I can’t work with you.”

“Your own company?”

“Well, I don’t know if you’ve heard of it. A clothing company called the Justalion Group.”

Zuo Ye’s expression froze as his mind quickly recalled the Justalion Group.

It was Jiang Wilona’s company.

How could he not know about the company of his first love that his husband could never forget in his life?

Zuo Ye deliberated over the words in his heart and said, “I know. In the past… he was very famous. But after the company’s CEO changed, he almost disappeared without a trace.”

Melody Fox nodded.

“The Justalion Group is indeed not as good as before. It can even be said that it’s close to bankruptcy. All of this is thanks to my biological father. I’m very ashamed that he’s the Justalion Group’s CEO. I’ve already cut ties with him.” Zuo Ye had already found out about this.

Moreover, he knew very well that the reason why their father-daughter relationship was directly broken was because of Russell Fox’s favoritism and Melody Fox’s sister’s scheme.

He and Mr. Ou were almost angered to death when they found out about this.

Mr. Ou wanted nothing more than to kill Fox Zheng Yun. However, Mr. Ou was not in a position to teach Melody Fox a lesson on behalf of Fox Zheng Yun, so he tried his best to suppress his anger.

Zuo Ye was very clear about these things, but he still pretended to be surprised.

“Break off the father-daughter relationship? Why is that?” Melody Fox smiled bitterly and said, “It’s said that family scandals can’t be aired in public, but I’ve already seen you as my friend, so there’s no harm in saying it. Russell Fox betrayed my mother and joined forces with his mistress to kill my mother at the operating table… He even sent me, who was still weaned, to the countryside. As for the rest, it’s just a fuse.”

Zuo Ye’s eyes widened in shock.

He subconsciously blurted out, “What?! You said that Jiang Wilona was killed by your father and his mistress?!”

He had always thought that Jiang Wilona was unlucky and died after giving birth to Melody Fox.

Melody Fox looked at Zuo Ye in shock.

“Mr. Zuo, how do you know my mother’s name?”

Only then did Zuo Ye realize that he had said something wrong.

He quickly found a good excuse.

“When Mr. Ou Fox was critically ill and you were in charge of the surgery, I didn’t know you well. For Mr. Ou’s safety, I investigated your identity. I’m really sorry.”

“I see… You don’t have to be embarrassed. A life is at stake. I can understand.”

Zuo Ye heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, but he looked very calm on the surface.

“Mm. Then what do you plan to do after Miss Fox? Just sever the father-daughter relationship?”

“Of course not. I’ll definitely settle the score with him. I’ll also take back my mother’s the Justalion Group. However, I still have to wait for a while to settle these scores. But then again, after taking back the Justalion Group, I’ll inherit my late mother’s mantle and bring the Justalion Group to greater heights. It’s precisely because of this that I can’t cooperate with you. I’m very sorry for not knowing how to appreciate favors.”

Chapter 1068

Zuo Ye couldn’t blame Melody Fox for such a small matter. It was very likely that Melody Fox was his boss’s biological daughter. How could he dare to blame her? After knowing the cause and effect of the matter, Zuo Ye could not blame her anymore.

“Miss Fox, you’re treating me like an outsider. I only brought this up because I admire you. Since that’s the case, pretend I didn’t say anything!”

Melody Fox nodded. “Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Zuo. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get off first?”

When Zuo Ye saw that Melody Fox was about to leave, he became nervous.

He asked Melody Fox to come over because he had business” to do.

He wanted to obtain Melody Fox’s DNA!

Otherwise, he could have sent his subordinates to do the Insterimond University Livestream Exam. His subordinates could have handled such a small matter.

Now that Melody Fox was about to leave, Zuo Ye had an idea and used the most direct method.

“Wait, Miss Fox.”

Melody Fox turned around and asked in confusion, “Mr. Zuo, is there anything else?”

“Um… turn around first.”

Melody Fox felt even more puzzled, but she still cooperated and turned his head around.

The next second, he felt a slight pain in her scalp.

She turned her head back reflexively.

Zuo Ye smiled and said, “I’m a little obsessive-compulsive. I saw a strand of white hair on your hair just now and couldn’t help but pull it out for you. Did I hurt you?”

Melody Fox shook her head. “I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt.”

It was just that… this obsessive-compulsive disorder was really strange.

She did not expect that Mr. Zuo, who seemed to be a cold man, would have such a side to him-he liked to help others pull out their white hair.

But she remembered that she didn’t have white hair.

Could it be that she did not notice it herself, or that she was too tired after her rebirth?

Melody Fox did not think too much about it. He did not know whether to laugh or cry as he said, “Thank you, Mr. Zuo. Can I leave now?”

“Alright, alright, you can leave now!” Zuo Ye smiled stiffly and watched Melody Fox leave.

It was not until Melody Fox’s figure was too far away to be seen that Zuo Ye dared to open his palm.

The two strands of hair that had been pulled out from the wooden root lay safely in his palm. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

The mission… was completed.

He just did not know if Melody Fox would think that he was sick in the future.

However, even if he was sick, it was fine as long as Miss Fox did not get suspicious.

“Start the car,” Zuo Ye instructed the driver.

“Mr. Zuo, where are you going?”

“Hospital.”

“Yes.”

The car drove away from the hospital.

He also met Melody Fox, Spencer, and Ming Yiheng in a café room opposite the school.

“Miss Fox.” Spencer immediately stood up and gave his seat to Melody Fox.

Melody Fox nodded slightly and met Ming Yiheng’s gaze. Thank you for today. I even troubled you to help me obtain so much information about Pamela Clark’s bribery.”

Ming Yiheng shook his head and said indignantly, “It’s nothing. We watched the live broadcast. Those people are simply too much. I really didn’t expect that University Insterimond would have such a teacher! If it weren’t for the fact that I happen to know hacking skills, the person who won first place today might not be you.”

Melody Fox was calmer.

“It’s very difficult to control the human heart. With more than 20 million yuan, many people can’t resist such temptation. There are so many teachers at Insterimond University. It’s normal for one or two of them to have bad personalities. The other teachers are actually quite good.” Especially that teacher surnamed Song.

Fox, who had just left the venue, even specially fed her a calming pill.

Even though she already knew that the procedures after Tang Sina’s incident would be very fair, she still felt a trace of warmth from Song San.

“Anyway, thank you for today.”

As Melody Fox spoke, she took out a check from her

pocket and handed it to Ming Yiheng.

Ming Yiheng took it and looked at it. His face immediately darkened.

“Melody Fox, what do you mean?”

Melody Fox was stunned and quickly explained, “I don’t mean any harm. I just want to thank you. And aren’t you short of money now? Your research project needs money very much.”

“No need!” Mingyi said coldly. “I’m not helping you for money. I’m helping you because I treat you as a friend. You’re insulting me by giving me money.”

“I really didn’t mean that. I didn’t…”

“Alright, take it back!”

Melody Fox had no choice but to take the check back. “I’m sorry. I was rude.”

Ming Yiheng frowned, feeling complicated.

Actually, he wasn’t angry with Melody Fox. He also knew that Melody Fox wasn’t the kind of person who would use money to insult him.

However, he felt a little uncomfortable.

He didn’t like the feeling that he was lower than Melody Fox.

Ming Yiheng suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart. He pursed his lips and said, “You don’t have to apologize. I don’t mean to blame you. I just… I just hope that you can treat me as a friend.”

Melody Fox met Ming Yiheng’s gaze and said seriously, “I understand. This will never happen again. If I still need your help in the future, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Only then did Ming Yiheng’s expression completely soften.

“There’s no need to be polite between friends.”

“Yes, I understand. It’s all my fault.”

After Melody Fox apologized, Ming Yiheng’s expression finally relaxed.

The two of them had dinner together before saying goodbye to each other.

After paying the bill, Melody Fox took the lead. SHe turned her head and smiled at Ming Yiheng. “Friends have to treat each other to a meal after helping each other. Don’t stand on ceremony if you want to foot the bill.”

Ming Yiheng had nothing to say and could only nod.

Walking out of the restaurant, Ming Yiheng was the first to speak. “I’ll go back to the rental apartment first. I have a report to give to the mentor today. You should go back early too. I heard that the security in Insterimond hasn’t been good recently.”

“Huh? Bad security?”

“Yes. I heard from my classmate that two people seemed to have gone missing recently. Then, there seemed to be an unknown explosion in a demolition area nearby.”

Wasn’t this her work?

The two missing people were First Hospital’s He Xiangxiang and her companion.

Melody Fox barely maintained his calm expression and nodded. “Alright, I understand. I’ll be careful.”

“Yeah.”

Ming Yiheng nodded at Melody Fox and walked towards him.

Ming Yiheng kept turning around to look at her even when they reached the other side of the road.

Spencer stared at Ming Yiheng’s actions, but a man’s sixth sense arose in his heart.

Could this guy be…

‘Should I report this to Sir?’

“Spencer? Spencer!”

Spencer suddenly came back to his senses and realized that Melody Fox had already called him a few times.

“Miss Fox, what is it?”

Melody Fox looked at Spencer and asked, “What are you thinking about? I called you so many times, but you didn’t react.”

“I…, I…”

2123 was not good at lying. Under Melody Fox’s relentless questioning, he finally could not hold his position and said truthfully, “Miss Fox, I think Ming Yiheng might be interested in you.”

Chapter 1069

“Pfft…”

Melody Fox laughed.

She thought 2123 was thinking about something important, but it turned out to be something like this.

After laughing enough, she said, “Spencer, what are you thinking about all day? Ming Yiheng is destined to become the center of attention worldwide. Ordinary girls are not worthy of him. Besides, I’m a few years older than him. I’m not a beauty. Besides, we haven’t known each other for long. Do you believe that he likes me? My charm isn’t that great. You think too highly of me.”

Spencer shook his head in rebuttal.

“Age isn’t a problem at all. Besides, Miss Fox, you’re not an ordinary person. Bah! I don’t mean that you’re a good match for him. I just feel that this kid doesn’t have good intentions.”

“Alright, you must be thinking too much about this. He helped me out of goodwill and because I invested in him. He didn’t mean anything else. If you say that again, I’ll really be angry.”

Spencer was shocked and quickly lowered his head to

apologize. “I was wrong, Miss Fox. I won’t say it again.”

“Alright, that’s enough. Go and prepare the car. I’ll come over after saying goodbye to Zhang Wenwen.”

“Yes!” Spencer did not dare to say another word and quickly drove away.

Melody Fox contacted Zhang Wenwen. Not long after, Zhang Wenwen ran out of school.

She looked at Melody Fox with eyes filled with envy.

“Melody, you’re amazing! I saw the clip posted online. That gown of yours is really amazing! I’ve never seen such a beautiful gown in my life! How can you know everything? You’re simply a genius! Oh no, the word genius is not worthy of you. It’s more suitable to use the word Almighty Goddess.”

Melody Fox could not help but laugh.

“I’m not as powerful as you think. Also, I’m not related to the word goddess.”

“How is it not related? I think it’s very suitable!”

Melody Fox smiled again and asked about Zhang Wenwen’s situation.

“How did you do?”

Zhang Wenwen shook her head and said, “Not too good.” “Hmm? How so?”

“The first place is too amazing. His calligraphy can totally be a calligrapher. I still have an Al mechanical design test tomorrow. I’m even better at this. However, you don’t have to worry about me. It doesn’t matter even if I don’t pass. My mentor has contacted me. If I’m not accepted, he can help me return to school through other means. I just need to fill in a few applications and I can return to my original major. However, I have to make up for my homework.”

“Mm, that’s good. You’re indeed more suitable to follow your original path. It’s good to learn smart design. You might be able to help me in the future. Oh right, there’s a person called Ming Yiheng in your academy. He’s my friend. If you can’t keep up with your studies, you can ask him.

You can just say that you’re my friend.”

“Ming Yiheng?” Zhang Wenwen’s eyes widened. “He’s actually your friend?”

“You know him?”

“I don’t think so, but I’ve often heard of his name. He’s a figure at the level of our academy’s god of studies. Once, our teacher had a difficult problem that he couldn’t solve for a few days and nights. Then, he gave it to the students as an extension question. In the end, within a few minutes of getting the question, this god of studies solved it. After that incident, he became famous in one battle and became our academy’s god of studies.”

“I see. He’s indeed very outstanding.”

“Yes, yes. By the way, Melody. If the results come out today and you’re accepted, will you still take the other exams?”

“I don’t think so. Back then, I applied to two more schools just to be safe. If I was accepted today, there would be no need to waste time. But that’s not necessarily the case. There might be accidents. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be first.”

“That’s impossible. As long as there’s no shady dealings, you’re definitely number one!”

“Then I’ll take your blessings.”

Coincidentally, Spencercars drove over at this point.

Melody Fox waved goodbye to Zhang Wenwen.

“I’ll leave first. You should go back to the dormitory early too.”

“Okay, bye!”

Melody Fox smiled and bowed as she got into the car.

After the car left the school, Melody Fox sent a message to Ken Swanson.

“Where are you?”

Ken Swanson quickly replied, “I’m at the headquarters of Ximber Tech. Do you want to come over?”

Melody Fox asked instead of answering, “Have you eaten dinner?”

“No…”

Through the screen, Melody Fox could feel Ken Swanson’s guilt.

She shook her head and typed, I’ll bring you dinner.

“Thank you, honey!”

“Hmph!” Melody Fox sent an angry emoji. Seeing that Ken Swanson seconds had passed, Ken Swanson replied with a begging emoji, Melody Fox could not help but smile.

She put down her phone and instructed Spencer, “Find a Silverlake-flavored restaurant. We’ll pack some food and let’s go to Ximber Tech headquarters.”

“Yes!”

Spencer agreed as tears streamed down his face.

Finally, there was someone who could take care of Sir and let him eat at the right time.

‘That’s nice. Boohoo.’

He could not let such a good young mistress be snatched away by another man.

He had to tell Ken Swanson about Ming Yiheng.

However, as soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Melody Fox seemed to be able to see through his thoughts. He suddenly said, “Don’t mention anything about Ming Yiheng to Ken Swanson. Don’t disturb him with these trivial matters.

Ken Swanson was much busier than her. He knew that Ken Swanson cared a lot about him, so he didn’t want Ken Swanson to be disturbed by something impossible.

Spencer answered guiltily, “Yes.”

Melody Fox added, “If you dare to say it, I’ll kill you.”

The curtain of darkness quickly descended.

The night sky of Silverlake was exceptionally dark tonight. Not a single Cindy could be seen.

Mabel Fox knocked on Le Qing’s door with a gift for her.

Many socialites attended Le Qing’s welcome banquet.

Mabel Fox thought that she would receive a lot of cold looks, but when she arrived, she realized that many people actually took the initiative to greet her.

Mabel Fox thought about it and immediately understood that Le Qing must have put in a good word for her.

She felt relieved and her mood improved.

It was all thanks to her foresight that she had spent so

many years nurturing Le Qing, a rich, powerful, and likable best friend in the socialite circle.

Now, he had finally gotten something in return.

However, when she saw that Le Qing had yet to give the gift

away, Le Qing pulled her into the room with an ugly expression.

“What’s wrong?” Mabel Fox looked at Le Qing’s expression and asked suspiciously, “Who asked our female lead to be unhappy today? Tell me, and I’ll help you vent your anger!” Le Qing had just locked the door.

Hearing Mabel Fox’s words, his movements froze.

“Don’t you know?”

“Hmm? What do I need to know?”

“Looks like you really don’t know. You’re really… Sigh, I don’t

know what to say to you.”

“What the hell is going on?”

Le Qing let out a long sigh. She clicked on her phone and sent a video to Mabel Fox.

Chapter 1070

Seeing Le Qing’s reaction, Mabel Fox already had a bad feeling.

She took the phone and opened the video according to Le Qing’s instructions.

The video had been edited by the media and posted online. It was all highlights of Melody Fox and Fox.

When Fox of her works appeared, the entire venue was in an uproar.

The video also explained in detail how precious and rare Melody Fox’s French embroidery was.

Similarly, the video also detailed that Pamela Clark and Tang Sina had colluded in private and had high expectations for Melody Fox.

In less than five minutes, Fox videos had almost pushed Melody Fox to the altar.

Looking at the comments below, they were all praises.

There were even people in the industry who were willing to pay millions of dollars yuan for Melody Fox’s works.

Mabel Fox’s face alternated between green and white.

If Le Qing was not by his side, Mabel Fox even had the urge to smash his phone.

That b*tch! What kind of French embroidery did she learn?

How could there be such a master in the countryside who taught her embroidery?

Could it be that Fox Zheng Yun seemed to have given up on Melody Fox and placed her in the countryside, but he was actually secretly nurturing her?

However, this idea was quickly rejected by Mabel Fox.

She knew very well what kind of person Zheng Yun was. With Zheng Yun’s brain, he couldn’t think of this.

Moreover, if Fox was grooming Melody Fox, he and Melody Fox would not have ended up like this.

Then where did that b*tch learn this skill?

She thought that Melody Fox would never be accepted, so she did not pay much attention to this matter.

Mabel Fox thought about it carefully and could only think of one possibility. All of this was arranged by Ken Swanson.

Ken Swanson arranged for someone to teach Melody Fox. That was why Melody Fox had such skills.

Damn it, was Ken Swanson blind? He ignored people like him and actually went to nurture a useless snack!

Mabel Fox clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned greenish-white.

“Mabel? Mabel?”

Mabel Fox suddenly came back to his senses and realized that Le Qing had already called her a few times.

Afraid that Le Qing would find out that she actually hated Melody Fox to the core, she quickly smiled and said, “Huh? Did you call me? I was too happy just now, so I didn’t hear you.”

Le Qing’s face immediately darkened. She said resentfully, Happy? Why are you so happy?! She’s about to enter

Insterimond University! In the future, she’ll surpass you in terms of academic qualifications! Why can’t you learn to be smart?”

Mabel Fox shook his head.

“Leqing, she’s my sister after all. If she’s good, our family will be good too.”

“Sister? You treat her as an elder sister, but does she treat you as a younger sister? If it weren’t for her, would you have been criticized by the socialites? Would your mother have gone to prison and died?”

Mabel Fox lowered her eyes, which were filled with tears.

“The past is in the past. Le Qing, don’t mention it again. Other than adding to your sadness, it’s useless.”

Le Qing was heartbroken and angry.

“You, I really don’t know what to say about you… Forget it, don’t bother about this matter. When she comes back, I’ll have a chance to make her fall into my hands and avenge you and Auntie.”

“Le Qing, don’t cause trouble for her. She doesn’t have a good temper. She’s not to be trifled with. Moreover, she’s already Ken Swanson’s wife in name. If I implicate you because of this, I’ll really blame myself for the rest of my life.”

However, the more Mabel Fox said this, the more Le Qing wanted to teach Melody Fox a lesson.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll find a perfect plan. No one can stop me from teaching her a lesson, not even Ken Swanson. Moreover, I don’t believe that Ken Swanson will really be angry at me for that ugly monster. Don’t forget, I’ve called Ken Swanson Brother since I was young.”

Moreover, she had feelings for Ken Swanson before, but Ken Swanson’s personality was too cold. In the end, she had no choice but to give up.

Therefore, it was inevitable to teach Melody Fox a lesson.

She was not only taking revenge for Mabel Fox but also for herself.

How could that country bumpkin dare to be his wife when he couldn’t even get her?

“Besides, you’ve already confirmed your relationship with Brother Ulric Swanson. Why are you afraid of her? Let me tell you, you’ve never been inferior to her. I won’t allow you to be afraid of her anymore.”

“Le Qing…”

“Listen to me. Don’t be soft-hearted anymore. Mabel.”

“-“

“Alright, alright. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s go out first. Everyone is waiting for me to cut the cake for the welcoming banquet.”

“Yes, yes.” Mabel Fox took the opportunity to give out his gift.

It was Le Qing’s favorite Hermes rare leather bag.

Le Qing naturally accepted it happily, but she gave Mabel Fox an even more expensive piece of jewelry.

Mabel Fox pretended to refuse, but in the end, he had no choice but to accept it.

When the two of them left the room, a group of socialites immediately surrounded them.

“What are you guys doing? You’ve been in the room for so long.”

Le Qing hugged Mabel Fox’s arm affectionately and said, ” We haven’t seen each other for a long time. Let’s talk about the private matters between girls! You guys still don’t know, right? She has already confirmed her relationship with Brother Ulric Swanson.”

Mabel Fox’s expression froze.

She had wanted to brag about this for a long time, but Ulric Swanson’s attitude was so cold that she did not dare to publicize it for fear of making Ulric Swanson unhappy.

But now, Le Qing had said it in front of so many socialites. She was practically roasting her over a fire.

However, Le Qing continued, “We might be able to attend her and Brother Ulric Swanson’s wedding soon! Right? Mabel?”

Mabel Fox forced a smile.

“It’s still early. My father doesn’t want me to get married so early.”

“It’s getting late. It’s long past the legal age of marriage. I’ll make a reservation first. I want to be a bridesmaid.”

As soon as Le Qing said this, the others agreed one after another.

“Me, me, me, I want to be a bridesmaid too.”

“I’m married. I can’t be a bridesmaid. Mabel, you must invite me to your wedding. I’ll give you a huge wedding gift.”

“Don’t forget to invite me!”

The socialites surrounded Mabel Fox. The long-lost feeling of being the center of attention made Mabel Fox feel light-headed.

What Ulric Swanson would be unhappy? She had forgotten.

all about it and only cared about enjoying the feeling of being held.

Hence, after the entire welcome banquet, Mabel Fox looked more like the female lead of the welcome banquet.

To get close to the Swanson family, countless socialites surrounded Mabel Fox, the future Second Young Mistress, and asked about her well-being. They wished they could beat Mabel Fox’s back and legs.

As the welcoming banquet was about to end, Mabel Fox was still a little unsatisfied.

It was not until he saw Le Qing, who was left in the corner, that Mabel Fox suddenly came back to his senses. After saying goodbye to the people surrounding him, he quickly went to Le Qing’s side.

As she observed Le Qing’s expression, she said guiltily, “Le Qing, I’m sorry. There were too many people surrounding me just now. I didn’t take care of you in Room 1 Fox…”

Unexpectedly, Le Qing did not look unhappy at all. Instead, she said happily to her, “What are you talking about? What’s there to be embarrassed about? This is the effect I want. Alright, from now on, I’ll see if any of them dares to badmouth you again.”

Chapter 1071

Mabel Fox could not help but heave a sigh of relief when he saw that Le Qing really did not have any intention of being unhappy. Instead, she was very happy for her.

“Thank you, Leqing. It’s all because of you that they can let go of their prejudice against me.'”

“We’re best friends. If I don’t help you, who else can I help? But what kind of Fox do I have to attend your wedding banquet with Brother Ulric Swanson? After the two of you get married, don’t forget me and bring my family’s business along.”

“Do you still need me to take care of your family’s business? I heard that another company under your father is going public. Sigh, if only my father had the same business foresight as your father.” Melody Fox sighed and expressed the uneasiness he had been feeling recently.

“After he found out that I was dating Ulric Swanson, he frantically bought land to expand the production factory. Just the investment of the equipment alone was as high as tens of millions of dollars. I’m really afraid that he won’t even be able to pay the interest on the loan in the end.”

When Le Qing heard this, she quickly asked, “What exactly happened?”

Mabel Fox explained the cause and effect of the matter. “After the Clark’s family cooperative seat was vacated, my father had his eyes on this seat. However, Ramon Swanson, you also know that whether it’s Ken Swanson or Ulric Swanson, both of them don’t have any real power in their hands now. It’s still unknown if this cooperative seat can be given to our family, so my father started to expand…”

Mabel Fox paused for a moment and said with a troubled expression, “I told him not to be anxious and to wait for the collaboration to be confirmed first, but he wouldn’t listen to a word I said. Leqing, what do you think I should do? I really feel a little uneasy.”

However, when Le Qing heard this, she immediately patted Mabel Fox on the shoulder and said, “You’re worrying for nothing! Your father was right to do this.”

“Yes?”

“You’re about to become the young mistress of the Swanson family. Isn’t it just a matter of opening your mouth if your father wants a cooperative position? If we confirm that we’re cooperating before expanding the factory, it’ll be too late.”

“So… he did the right thing?”

“That’s right. However, the prerequisite is that your relationship with Ulric Swanson has to be stable and you have to think of a way to confirm the collaboration as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the two of you break up, your family will really not be able to operate. However, that’s impossible. Brother Ulric Swanson has such good taste and is so easy to talk to. He won’t break up with you so easily.”

Mabel Fox forced a smile.

Le Qing did not know the exact situation between her and Ulric Swanson, so she said that.

If Le Qing knew that Ulric Swanson was hot for her and that he was not as easy to talk to as everyone thought, she would never say that.

However, Mabel Fox did not dare to tell the truth. She was afraid that if she told the truth and said that her

relationship with Ulric Swanson was not that stable, Le Qing might leave her too.

However, Le Qing was right about one thing. She had to help Fox confirm the collaboration as soon as possible.

The property of Fox Zheng Yun was her property. She could not watch as her property was destroyed.

the Justalion Group. She had wanted it for a long time.

When her mother was still alive, she also tried her best to get some shares for her.

Unfortunately, in the end, because of Melody Fox’s appearance, half of her and Yolanda Fox’s shares were forcefully taken away by Melody Fox under Maria Fox’s insistence.

Although Fox Zheng Yun had never allowed the legal team to really connect with Melody Fox, the shares had nothing to do with him anymore.

She wanted to use the opportunity to help Fox get the shares back.

Melody Fox, don’t even think about what belongs to her!

“Alright, Room Fox is getting late. Go home quickly. Remember what I said. Don’t worry about these work matters. Uncle Fox still has a business mind. You should worry more about your sister!”

Mabel Fox forced a smile again and waved goodbye to Le Qing.

The two of them lived in the same neighborhood. Le Qing watched as Mabel Fox disappeared around the corner before she shook her head and returned home.

Her best friend was just too soft-hearted and kind.

If it were her, she would have long made that ugly woman run back to the countryside.

However, it was also because of Mabel Fox’s kindness that she was willing to be her best friend.

She was not interested in those scheming socialites.

Insterimond…

After a few hours.

Melody Fox packed the food and arrived at Ximber Tech headquarters. Ken Swanson was still in a meeting. She looked at the conference room. It was already past seven o’clock. If he didn’t eat now, his body, which she had painstakingly nursed back to health, would have problems again.

Melody Fox handed the food to Spencer and asked him to send it to Ken Swanson’s office. He was led to the door of the conference room by Aaron Berg.

In the conference room.

No one dared to breathe loudly.

The reason was none other than the many problems that had occurred during the testing of the XAce series products that they were about to launch.

And the problem was in the same place.

However, their headquarters had joined forces with Division Silverlake. They had searched for a long time but could not find the problem.

This was the reason why Ken Swanson flew into a rage.

“It’s been almost a month, but the problem hasn’t been found. Can anyone tell me what exactly is she doing?”

Everyone lowered their heads, afraid to look at Ken Swanson.

However, Ken Swanson still chose someone’s name.

“Fuqing, tell me. How did you manage the project that I handed over to you?”

Fu Qing, whose name was called, braced himself and stood up.

“C…-Chairman, I’ve been keeping an eye on the technical department every day. They’re also working overtime every day. B…-but… but this problem is too difficult to deal with. Please give us another chance. I guarantee that we’ll be able to complete the repair by the end of next month.” “Next month?”

Ken Swanson narrowed his eyes.

“Next month will be Room Fox on the market. Do you think you’ll make it in time? Why don’t you say you can get rid of this problem next year?”

The temperature in the office seemed to have dropped to freezing point.

God, who could save them?

This feeling of being stared at by death was really uncomfortable.

Right at Fox, there was a sudden knock on the conference room door.

Ken Swanson massaged his temples and said, “Enter.”

Everyone instantly heaved a sigh of relief. Fu Qing also took the opportunity to sit down.

After sitting down, he looked at the door gratefully, wanting to see who had saved his dog’s life.

In the next moment, they saw a woman they had never seen before push open the conference room door.

The woman was slender and her skin was as fair as Wilona’s. Unfortunately, her face was covered in red spots. At first glance, it would scare people.

After Melody Fox pushed the door open and entered, he could not help but feel a little uncomfortable when he saw everyone staring at her.

However, compared to feeling uncomfortable, Ken Swanson’s health was more important.

Therefore, Melody Fox quickly composed herself and went straight to the point. She said to Ken Swanson, “Come out for lunch first. You’ll have a meeting after you eat.”

Her commanding tone shocked everyone.

Who was this person? Was she crazy? How dare she say such things at this juncture?

Ken Swanson: Not Skinning Her Off?

Chapter 1072

However, to everyone’s surprise, Ken Swanson was not angry. Instead, after a moment of surprise, he immediately responded.

“Alright, I’ll be right out. Let me finish my last few words first.”

“No way.”

#

Everyone’s jaws dropped again. They were even more curious about who this woman was.

Melody Fox said firmly, “Let’s continue the meeting after eating. If you don’t eat, others will eat too.”

On the way here, she had learned from Aaron Berg that Ken Swanson had not eaten, so no one else dared to eat.

Humans were made of iron, and rice was made of steel. Only after eating would one have the strength to work.

When the human body’s sugar content is too low, the brain cannot maintain a clear train of thought.

Faced with Melody Fox’s unyielding attitude, Ken Swanson could only nod helplessly. “Alright, I’ll come out now.

As he spoke, he turned to everyone and said, “You guys go and eat too. Come back for the meeting after Little Fox.”

Everyone was cheering in their hearts, but they did not dare to show it on their faces. They only nodded. “Thank you, Chairman.”

Ken Swanson did not say anything else. He stood up and followed Melody Fox.

After the two of them left, an intense discussion broke out in the meeting room.

“Who is this person? He seems to have a powerful background. The chairman actually didn’t flare up. This is ridiculous!”

“She’s really bold… But the chairman actually listened to her and wasn’t unhappy at all.”

“Not only is he not unhappy, but I also noticed that after she pushed the door open and entered, the chairman’s mood was obviously much better.”

“Yes, I noticed that too! But I didn’t hear that the chairman has a sister or sister. Isn’t he just a half-brother?”

“Vice President Fu, you must know who she is, right? Tell us quickly. I’m dying of curiosity!”

Fu Qing shook his head.

“I really don’t know who she is… but whoever she is, she’s a hero in my heart.”

God knows if he would have been killed by the chairman if that woman hadn’t suddenly knocked on the door and entered.

Fu Qing’s heart was filled with gratitude for Melody Fox. He raised his hand and interrupted everyone’s discussion. Alright, stop gossiping. Go eat first and come here 20 minutes in advance. Before the chairman arrives, we’ll discuss how to resolve this problem.”

As soon as he said this, everyone became dispirited again. As the head of the technical department followed Fu Qing out, he said, “Vice President, I think that the same sensor problem that frequently appears in the testing product might have nothing to do with the chip.”

“Oh? Then what do you think went wrong? Didn’t you say that other than the chip, there was no problem anywhere else?”

The technical department head looked around and lowered his voice. “I think there might be a problem with the intelligent programming of the mainframe.”

Fu Qing was shocked.

He also looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he continued, “How dare you. The programming was personally written by the chairman and Mr. Quant. They have never made any mistakes in this aspect. Could you have made a mistake?”

The Technical Minister shook his head.

“No. At first, I also believed that there was nothing wrong with the programming, but the more I think about it, the more I suspect that there’s a problem with the programming. Therefore, the entire series of products more or less have the same system induction problem, but we can’t find the problem. That’s because we subconsciously believe that the programming they wrote themselves can’t be wrong.”

Fu Qing fell into deep thought.

“Let me think about how I’m going to mention this to the chairman later.”

“I suggest… we talk to the chairman in private and not in the meeting room.”

“That makes sense. If there’s really a programming error, it’s tantamount to saying that the chairman and Mr. Quant can’t do it.”

“Then let’s hurry up and eat.”

“Sure.”

In the office.

After Melody Fox and Ken Swanson entered, Spencer cleverly did not act as a third wheel and walked out of the office with Aaron Berg.

Melody Fox handed over a pair of fork and complained, ” Didn’t I tell you many times? You have to be careful and eat on time. How many hours can you spend on food? Isn’t it the same if you eat a few mouthfuls before continuing to work?”

Ken Swanson smiled apologetically.

“I was too engrossed to notice the time.”

“Aaron Berg didn’t remind you?”

“He wants to, but you’ve seen the atmosphere in the conference room. He probably doesn’t dare to come in, so…”

Melody Fox could not help but ask, “What happened? Why are you so angry? I heard your voice on the way here.” Ken Swanson sighed. As he ate, he said, “The company is about to go on the market. Before it goes on the market, the X Ace series products have to be released. However, the same problems often appear during the testing of this series of products, but these guys still can’t find the problem… This way, the matter of going on the market might be affected.”

“I see. No wonder you’re so anxious to get angry.”

“Yes. By the way, how did you do today? I heard from Aaron Berg that there seemed to be a little trouble during the process.”

“There’s been some trouble.”

Melody Fox told him about Pamela Clark and then said, ” But it’s all settled. Her bribery was exposed on the spot. However, the admission results will be released later. After the results are out, the school will send a text message to inform you.”

Ken Swanson narrowed his eyes coldly.

“Pamela Clark again.”

Melody Fox shrugged and said, “After this, she will never have the face to jump around again.”

“Just because she’s not jumping around doesn’t mean that her father isn’t jumping around. For her to make such a big move, she must have been instructed by her father behind the scenes. Perhaps their main move next is to target you and the Justalion Group.”

“I’m not afraid of them targeting me. Don’t I have you?”

Ken Swanson’s lips curled up slightly.

“Fortunately, you haven’t forgotten my existence.”

“Of course, I won’t forget.”

“Then I’ll get someone to buy the Clark group now?”

Melody Fox knew that when he said “do it,” he meant to immediately bankrupt Clark’s group.

Clark Group had lost the cooperation of the Swanson Group, which was equivalent to losing the main order pillar. It was already on the verge of collapse.

It would only take Ken Swanson a phone call to bankrupt them.

However, Melody Fox did not want Clark Group to go bankrupt.

She quickly grabbed Ken Swanson’s hand and said, “Don’t. I still have use for Clark Group.”

“What’s the point?”

“Have you forgotten? Clark Group is secretly poaching the Justalion Group’s designer.”

Ken Swanson instantly understood.

“I see. You’re trying to get someone else to do the dirty work.”

“Don’t make it sound so bloody. I just want to borrow him to snatch the Justalion Group.”

“Isn’t that the same?”

The two of them smiled.

“Coincidentally, the batch of designers I found for you are almost done with their training. When you take back the Justalion Group, they will immediately hand over their outstanding designs.”

“How many

“Twenty.”

Did you find it?”

Chapter 1073

Melody Fox knew that Ken Swanson should have found several designers for her, but he did not expect there to be as many as 20.

“Isn’t twenty designers too much? Many clothing companies only have two or three designers in total.” Unexpectedly, Ken Swanson looked confused.

“Is it a lot? I thought it was too little. I was looking for twenty to find the elite.”

Melody Fox was speechless. “Yes! With the Justalion Group’s current scale, five elite designers should be enough.” “That’s now. When you take over, I plan to help you expand your production so that the Justalion Group can regain the vitality of your mother.” Ken Swanson said softly, “This is my filial piety as a son-in-law. You can’t stop me from helping.”

Melody Fox smiled.

“Alright, I won’t stop you. My mother’s spirit in heaven will definitely be very happy to have a son-in-law like you.”

Ken Swanson could not help but rub Melody Fox’s face.

“What she’s happiest about is having a smart daughter like you.”

Melody Fox’s eyes turned red.

If only her mother was still alive.

She had never experienced motherly love in her life.

Her impression of Jiang Wilona also came from the information she left behind when she was alive.

Fortunately, her mother was a big star before she made clothes. If she was an ordinary person, she might not even know what her mother looked like.

“But then again, Mom is really beautiful. It’s a little implicit to say that she’s ” devastatingly beautiful.”

At this point, Melody Fox deliberately asked Ken Swanson,” If I inherit my mother’s beauty, will you love me more?”

“I won’t.”

“Huh?” This answer was completely out of Melody Fox’s expectations.

“Because I love you at the very limit of ‘love. There’s no way to do more than that.”

“…” Melody Fox directly punched Ken Swanson’s chest. You’re getting to me!”

Ken Swanson held his chest which did not actually hurt and asked, “You want to murder your husband?”

“My husband isn’t as good as you!”

Ken Swanson smiled and put down a fork to pull her into his arms.

“Melody, you really don’t have to care about your

appearance. The person who really loves you doesn’t care about your appearance. Also, whether you believe it or not, I have a feeling that I should have been with you in my previous life.

Melody Fox’s thoughts could not help but drift to the dream she often had.

In the dream, it was the scene of her death in her previous life. For her, Ken Swanson did not hesitate to raise his gun and kill the people who killed her.

Melody Fox closed his eyes and told himself not to think about his previous life.

She hugged Ken Swanson back and said, “I believe you. I also feel that I should have been with you in my previous life.”

If she had pestered Ken Swanson in her previous life instead of being in love with Ulric Swanson, she might not have died at the hands of Ulric Swanson and Mabel Fox.

After a while, Melody Fox withdrew from Ken Swanson’s embrace.

She asked seriously, “Then let me ask you again in another way. If I inherit my mother’s beauty, will you not like me as much as you do now?”

“Pfft. Ken Swanson laughed when he heard that. He tapped her forehead and said, “What are you thinking about? I’ve said it before. No matter how beautiful or ugly you are, my feelings for you are the same.”

Melody Fox heaved a sigh of relief.

‘That’s good.’

She was actually afraid that Ken Swanson would not be able to accept her sudden change in appearance. Since he said that her appearance would not affect his love for her, she would give Ken Swanson a big surprise.

However, Ken Swanson felt that something was wrong. “Why are you suddenly asking me such a strange question?” “No, I just…” Melody Fox thought of an excuse and said, “I just have a lot of nightmares recently.”

“Then I’ll go find something like calming incense for you. Perhaps you’re not used to being in Room Insterimond.” “We’re what, Fox?”

“If the matter on my side can be resolved smoothly, I can return in three days. However, this problem… I’m afraid it’s a little tricky. I have to follow them personally to find the source of the problem, and I might need to call Sid Quant over.”

“Why are you calling Sid Quant?”

“I wrote the programming together with Sid Quant. I’m in charge of part A, and he’s in charge of part B. I don’t know the part he’s in charge of. In order to save time, I can only ask him to come over and check every link with me.”

“But Sid Quant’s body… I’m afraid he can’t withstand this flight. Although Fox rooms are short, his injuries were too serious last time.”

Ken Swanson fell silent. After a while, he said, “Then I’m afraid we’ll have to stay in Room Fox for a while longer.”

Melody Fox suddenly had an idea and said, “Why don’t I contact Ming Yiheng and get him to come over and help see what’s going on? The main contract he signed with us is Ximber Tech, so he’s also part of Ximber Tech. He shouldn’t reject us.”

Ken Swanson hesitated.

“Calling over a student who’s still studying, this…”

“Don’t underestimate him. His attainments in Al seem to have surpassed those professors in their academy.”

Melody Fox told her what she had learned from Zhang Wenwen.

Ken Swanson nodded.

“Alright then. Let him come over tomorrow and try.” “Yeah.”

Melody Fox nodded. He looked at the half-eaten food and asked, “Do you want to eat more? This is not your Fox appetite.”

“There’s no need. After eating your food, I’ll have no taste.”

“Are you implying that I’ll make you three meals a day in the future?”

“No. Cooking is very tiring. I can’t bear for you to be so tired.”

“Tsk, don’t be so pompous. Your face is already written with the words ‘I want to eat your cooking.”

Ken Swanson laughed and asked, “Is it that obvious?”

“We do.”

While they were chatting, Aaron Berg knocked on the door and reported, “Sir, the design department and Vice President Fu are looking for you.”

Melody Fox stood up.

“I’ll wait for you outside.”

“Don’t.” Ken Swanson grabbed her hand and said, “You’re not an outsider. There’s no need to avoid suspicion.”

“It’s not about avoiding suspicion,” Melody Fox found an excuse and said, “It’s just that I need to contact Ming Yiheng and go back to rest early. I’m a little tired today.”

“Really? Do you need to go to the hospital?”

“No need. Just go back and lie down for a while.” “Alright, I’ll send you downstairs.”

“There’s no need to send me off. Go ahead and get busy. The earlier you’re done, the earlier you can come back.”

“Alright. I’ll get Aaron Berg to go back with you. With him around, I’ll feel more at ease.”

Melody Fox did not refuse. He stood up and walked out.

At the same time, Ken Swanson also asked the two people waiting outside to come in. He also instructed Aaron Berg, “Send Young Madam back.”

“Yes!” Aaron Berg nodded and respectfully gestured for Melody Fox to enter.

This scene made the head of the technical department and Fu Qing widen their eyes in shock.

Young Madam…

Then wouldn’t she…

Chapter 1074

In order to confirm his guess, Fox, who passed by him at Melody Fox, bowed and shouted, “Hello, Madam Chairman.”

Melody Fox nodded at Fu Qing.

“Hello, I’m sorry to disturb your work. Please continue.”

Fu Qing’s heart was in turmoil.

She was actually… the chairman’s wife!

He had imagined many times what kind of wife their young, promising, handsome, and rich chairman would marry, but he never expected it to be like this…

It was not that he was dissatisfied with Melody Fox, but his appearance was really… not compatible with the chairman. Melody Fox was not blind. He naturally saw the shock in Fu Qing’s heart.

However, she pretended not to notice anything. She nodded at Fu Qing and left with Aaron Berg.

Fu Qing watched Melody Fox leave and didn’t come back to his senses for a long time.

It was not until Ken Swanson called out to him unhappily that he suddenly realized that he had lost his composure. He lowered his head with a pale face.

“Yes, Chairman, I’m here.”

Ken Swanson glanced at Fu Qing coldly and warned in a deep voice, “Watch your mouths. If I hear anything bad about her from the company, I’ll hold you responsible.” “Yes… I won’t say anything.”

Fu Qing broke out in a cold sweat.

He regretted calling her “Mrs. Chairman”.

However, there was no medicine for regret in the world. Fu Qing could only look to the technical department head for help.

The technical department head and Fu Qing were old classmates.

He glared at Fu Qing, but still helped Fu Qing change the topic.

“Chairman, we’re here to talk to you about the X Ace series.”

Ken Swanson said expressionlessly, “Speak.”

When the two of them looked at each other, Fu Qing lowered his head like a coward.

He had no choice but to do it himself.

“Well, we have a theory about the product. We think … is there a possibility that there’s a programming problem?” “Programming?”

Seeing Ken Swanson staring straight at him, the technical department head broke out in a cold sweat.

He scolded Fu Qing in his heart for being a coward. He pretended to be calm and said, “We’re just guessing. We studied the chip for a long time and really couldn’t find any problems. However, the programming was written by you and Mr. Quant. We don’t understand it, so we didn’t

investigate this problem.”

Ken Swanson’s expression suddenly darkened, scaring Fu Qing and the Technical Minister so much that their souls almost left their bodies.

Fu Qing looked at him and said, “What did I say?! How dare you say that there’s a problem with the programming!”

The technical department head glared back. Didn’t you also think that there was a problem with the programming on the way here?

But now, both of them were dead.

Which company’s subordinate could question their boss? Wasn’t this asking for fire?

In the next second, Ken Swanson said angrily, “Maybe there’s a problem with the programming. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“…?”

The Technical Minister and Fu Qingtong looked up in surprise.

They did not expect Ken Swanson to be angry because of this, not because they suspected that he had made a mistake.

Ken Swanson continued, “What you reported was that there might be a problem with the conductor and chip. If you had reported it earlier, it might have been a programming problem, and the matter would have been resolved long ago. Why did you drag it out until today? What are you two thinking?!”

Fu Qing heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to cry even more.

How would he know that his boss did not play by the rules? The boss looked so serious and scary as he said that.

“It’s all my fault.” The technical department head admitted his mistake.

Fu Qing quickly apologized as well. “I’m sorry, Chairman. We didn’t investigate properly.”

Ken Swanson took a deep breath. He knew why they did not say so earlier.

He tried his best to soften his tone and said, “I’m with Sid Quant. No matter who it is, they’re not the kind of people you think they are. If you encounter the same problem in the future, report to me immediately. Don’t think too much.”

“Yes.” “Yes…”

After this incident, how could they hide it and not report it? Ken Swanson massaged his temples with a headache. After a while, he said, “Tell them that there’s no need to continue the meeting. Go straight to the laboratory to investigate the problem. I’ll go over personally.”

“Yes!”

On the other side, Melody Fox called Ming Yiheng on the way back.

Ming Yiheng picked up almost instantly.

“Miss Fox.”

“Um… Ming Yiheng, I have something to trouble you with.”

“Tell me.”

Melody Fox quickly explained the Ximber Tech’s problem, and Ming Yiheng agreed without hesitation.

“I don’t have any classes tomorrow morning. I’ll be there in the morning. But I can’t be one hundred percent sure I’ll be able to help.”

“Of course. Just give it a try. If it doesn’t work out, I won’t blame you.”

“Yeah.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you at the office tomorrow. I’ll send you the address.”

“Okay.”

Melody Fox hung up the phone. After sending the address to Ming Yiheng, he heaved a sigh of relief.

However, at this Fox, a large truck suddenly approached them at high speed. It was about to hit them, but the truck driver had no intention of changing lanes. Instead, he stepped on the accelerator.

The speed of the car increased!

Aaron Berg was shocked and immediately turned the steering wheel of Spencer around.

The car dodged and Fox made an ear-piercing squeak.

In the next second, because the truck was too fast, it hit the guardrail.

Coincidentally, this was the viaduct. After the big truck broke through the guardrail, it could not stop and the car rushed down the viaduct.

The loud sound of the collision was almost deafening.

Under the highway, countless cars collided one after another. Not long after, explosions sounded.

The large truck was directly blown up.

“Miss Fox, are you okay?”

After Aaron Berg sat down, he quickly turned around to check on Melody Fox.

Melody Fox stared at the broken guardrail with a thoughtful expression. He did not show any signs of panic.

Aaron Berg heaved a sigh of relief.

Spencer saw that although Melody Fox was not injured, he still had lingering fears.

After saying “I’ll go take a look” to Aaron Berg, he pulled the brakes.

After the car stopped in the emergency lane, Spencer got out of the car and quickly went to check on the situation.

Aaron Berg switched to the driver’s seat to prevent the same situation from happening again so that Fox could dodge.

Soon, Spencer returned.

“How is it?” Melody Fox asked, “How’s the driver?”

“He died on the spot. His body was incomplete.”

Melody Fox frowned and asked, “Have you checked the car’ s information?”

“I did. It’s a license plate car. However, I found out through the black market’s information network that this car belongs to a public truck under the Clark Group. However, this car had already applied for scrapping a few months ago.”

“Clark Group…”

Melody Fox narrowed her eyes.

From the looks of it, Pamela Clark was so angry that he wanted her life.

Chapter 1075

It seemed that she had overestimated Pamela Clark.

Initially, he thought that Pamela Clark was just a little evil. He did not expect Pamela Clark and Mabel Fox to be the same kind of people. They were vicious to the core.

If it weren’t for the fact that Clark Group was beneficial to her recovery of the Justalion Group, she would have wanted Pamela Clark to suffer the same fate as the driver.

Melody Fox ordered Spencer coldly, “Gather all the evidence. Also, the driver’s identity and the reason why he was willing to sacrifice his life to kill me.”

“Yes!” Spencer immediately agreed.

Aaron Berg observed the roadside and said to Melody Fox, Miss Fox, it’s still not safe here. Let’s go back to the hotel first.”

“Mm. Let’s go back. I’ll talk to Ken Swanson myself when he comes back.”

“This…” Spencer said with a troubled expression, “Death Warrior, who was guarding in the dark just now, has already informed Sir.”

Melody Fox massaged his temples and said helplessly, Since we already know, there’s nothing we can do. Anyway, let’s go back first.”

“Alright, Miss Fox.” Aaron Berg, who was sitting in the driver’s seat, did not delay any further and drove away.

Pamela Clark’s cold voice sounded in a hotel suite.

“Useless thing. She even lost her life, but she still escaped. She’s simply trash. She deserves to die!”

Pamela Clark’s eyes seemed to be poisoned, scaring Clark Group’s two subordinates so much that they trembled. “Then, Miss, what should we do now?”

“What do you mean what should we do?! What else can we do?! How can we find so many desperadoes in the short Fox rooms to exchange their lives with that b*tch?”

“Miss, that’s not what I meant. I mean what should we do about the deceased’s family? We promised to compensate 4,532,650,000 yuan. If we don’t pay this money immediately, I’m afraid the family will make a fuss.”

“Hmph!”

Pamela Clark snorted and said, “$ 4 million is the price of success. Now that they didn’t succeed, they still want $4 million? Do they think I’m a fool?”

The subordinate said with a troubled expression, “Although we didn’t succeed in exchanging a life for a life with Melody Fox, he’s already dead. If we don’t quickly settle the compensation, what if they spread rumors? I suggest we give the money and be done with it.”

“It’s not like you’re paying. Of course, it’s easy for you to say that! I still have 200 thousand dollars on hand. Give 200 thousand dollars to his wife in cash! I don’t want anyone to find out about the transfer records again.”

“Isn’t 200 thousand dollars a little too little? It’s still a human life..”

“If she thinks it’s too little, then let her call the police! Her husband took the initiative to volunteer because he was desperate to gamble. Speaking of which, if this matter is really exposed, her husband will have to bear half the responsibility. Even if she doesn’t think for herself, she has to think for her child. If 200 thousand dollars doesn’t want it, she won’t get a single cent!”

As Pamela Clark spoke, she took out a card and said, “Go withdraw the money tomorrow morning! Don’t talk so much nonsense. I don’t believe she dares to call the police!” “…Yes.”

His subordinate did not dare to persuade him anymore. He took the card and left.

Pamela Clark drank the red wine in his glass in frustration. This b*tch’s life was really tough!

She thought that she was doomed this time, but she did not expect her to survive.

Damn it, she had no money now. How could she be a warrior if she didn’t have a lot of money?

Why was it harder to kill that b*tch than she had imagined?

Coincidentally, at Fox, her phone rang.

It was a call from her father Papa Clark.

She immediately had a bad feeling and picked up the phone nervously.

As expected, as soon as the call went through, Papa Luo’s angry roar came from the other end of the phone.

“I told you not to act rashly, but why didn’t you listen?! Is there something wrong with your brain? What if she finds out what you’ve done? Don’t forget that she’s not an abandoned girl who was chased out of the door by the Fox family. She’s also the Mrs. Swanson of the Historical Group! Why didn’t you ask me for my opinion before doing anything?!”

“Dad, don’t be too timid. If the Swanson family really treated her as Mrs. Swanson, would they still not announce their marriage?”

“No matter what, you’re taking too much risk!”

Compared to Papa Luo’s worries, Pamela Clark was

completely unafraid of losing his cover.

“Dad, I took advantage of her in school and have become very cautious. This time, I destroyed all the evidence

related to me. No matter how she investigated, she couldn’t find anything on me. It’s a pity that that gambler didn’t succeed and wasted such a good opportunity.”

“Are you sure it won’t be traced back to you?”

“Of course, human lives are at stake. In ancient times, this was a crime of beheading. I’ve already been very careful.”

“If that’s the case, then I have nothing else to say. However, in the future, without my permission, you can’t do anything casually. My plan to destroy the Fox family is coming to an end. This month will be over. Don’t complicate things for me.”

Pamela Clark pouted. “Your plan has been going on for so long. I don’t see any progress at all.”

“That’s you! If even you could tell, the Fox family would have discovered it long ago!”

“But even if the Fox family falls, we can’t teach that slut Melody Fox a lesson. She has already cut ties with the Fox family.”

“How can Janet Murphy sever blood ties so easily?

Moreover, don’t forget that the Swanson family agreed to let Melody Fox in because their family has an arranged marriage with the Fox family. Once the Fox family falls, will they still acknowledge Melody Fox as their daughter-in-law? When she’s no longer the Swanson family’s young mistress, won’t her life be up to us?”

Pamela Clark’s eyes lit up.

“I see.”

“Nonsense! Otherwise, why would I spend so much effort to deal with the Fox family? Don’t think that the process is troublesome, but the outcome will definitely be good.”

“Okay, then I’ll trust Daddy.”

“Alright, it’s embarrassing enough for you to be there. Hurry up and come back! The path to Insterimond University can’t be taken. We can only think of a way and see if there are any other ways for you to go.”

When Pamela Clark thought of today’s embarrassing incident, Don Fox gritted his teeth in hatred.

Fortunately, she was just an examinee. After being educated, she was released by the police.

Tang Sina was working for the government. It wouldn’t be long before she would be jailed for accepting bribes.

Unfortunately, all the money she gave away was confiscated and she could not get back a single cent.

Clark Group was no longer the same as before. It was heartbreaking that there was no return on the money.

“I’m flying back tomorrow.”

“See you at the office tomorrow.”

“Yeah.”

Pamela Clark hung up the phone, feeling even more frustrated.

She poured herself another glass of red wine and drank it down.

Meanwhile, Melody Fox had returned to the hotel.

However, just as she arrived, Ken Swanson appeared at the door.

Melody Fox opened the door and saw Ken Swanson. Since he was surprised, he felt that it was reasonable.

“You’re back?” She said helplessly, “I wanted to tell you when you were done with your work, but Spencer and the others still told you in advance…”

Notice: The following chapters are unedited & unproofread; I just copied them from the app and directly posted them here without editing. if you want me to edit these pieces, please let me know. Otherwise, I will just post it as is because I know you are all dying to read the finale. 😁😀😁😊

Don’t worry for those who want me to edit it, I will edit but you have to be patient, please. Thank you!!!

Chapter 1056

“Don’t worry, we won’t go back on our word. The premise is that she’s really strong enough to crush the young lady in the second row.”

“A row of young ladies, good luck!”

“Sisters from the second row, you can do it! The first row of ugly girls will definitely lose!”

The bullet screen was filled with words of encouragement.

At the judges’ table.

Song San sat beside Tang Sina.

In the teaching team, other than Tang Sina, Song San, who was the least in charge of Ping Fox, was the most experienced. His teaching ability was even much higher than Tang Sina’s.

It was precisely because of this that his seat was placed in the middle next to Tang Sina.

Song San struggled in his heart for a moment. In the end, he said to Tang Sina, who had a serious expression on her face, “Teacher Tang, there are a few things I have to tell you first.”

Tang Sina knew what Song San was going to say.

Other than helping Melody Fox canvass for votes, there was nothing else he could say.

Tang Sina pursed her lips unhappily and said, “Teacher Song, if you have something to say, just say it. The grading will start soon. I don’t have room Fox to listen to you.”

When Song San heard this, he knew that the model would go on stage immediately, so he sped up and said, “On the way here just now, I confirmed with candidate Melody Fox. She said that her embroidery method is indeed French embroidery.”

Tang Sina looked at Song San in amusement.

“Teacher Song, you’re already a teacher. Why are you still listening to the wind and rain? With this examinee’s character, do you think her words are trustworthy?”

“Her eyes are sincere. I’m sure her eyes don’t lie.”

“Then I regret to tell you that some people are born to lie. Ordinary people can’t tell if she’s telling the truth or lying.”

Song San clenched his fists and said, “I know you won’t believe it easily, and neither will the other teachers. After all, she has a bad ‘precedent’. So, to be fair, I called Teacher Zhan over. He should be here soon.”

Tang Sina’s eyelids twitched.

“Teacher Zhan? It’s Professor Zhan, who is about to retire from our academy?”

“That’s right, it’s him. He heard that there might be an examinee who knows French embroidery in our school, so he agreed to come over without saying anything. So please give him a few minutes to room Fox. He’ll be here soon.”

Tang Sina panicked.

Teacher Zhan Chunlai had been studying French embroidery for several years. The judgment he made was most likely right.

Damn Song San, why did he like to poke his nose into other people’s business?

She looked at Song San coldly. “Teacher Song, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but the judges have already decided. It’s fine if it’s Teacher Zhan, but it’s impossible for him to specially add an extra judge seat for an examinee.”

“But…”

When the first model appeared in front of everyone.

“Teacher Song, you don’t have to say anymore. Otherwise, I’m afraid I’ll suspect that you secretly benefited from that examinee called Melody Fox.”

“I didn’t…-“

“Since you didn’t, please shut up.”

Tang Sina’s voice was extremely cold, scaring Song San.

He had never seen such an expression on Tang Sina’s face, as if she wanted to eat him up.

The Fox models had already walked to the center of the stage in professional modeling.

The lights shone on the model, attracting everyone’s attention.

Song San had no choice but to shut up for the time being.

She saw that the model was wearing a standard strapless evening gown.

The big screen at the side specially enlarged the embroidery pattern on the evening gown so that the judges at the scene could take a closer look.

The embroidery pattern on this strappy evening gown was very simple. There were only simple patterns embroidered on the cuffs, waistline, and chest, and the hem of the dress was a large line.

The entire dress did not surprise anyone. It was as standard as the design of the gown. There was nothing wrong, but there was nothing outstanding about it.

Below the stage, Pamela Clark secretly smiled.

Her father had already bribed this examinee, so the gown he designed naturally wouldn’t be too stunning, and it was impossible for him to steal her limelight.

Moreover, she was the second last to appear. She could be considered the finale.

The first few were just ordinary appetizers that were not worth mentioning.

“The model show is over. The judges, please start scoring. Your scores will be deducted from the highest and lowest scores. Then, you will get an average score. The average score will be displayed on the big screen. Teachers, please be careful. Now… the scoring begins!”

Although Song San was hiding something in his heart, he did not dare to be careless with the scores of the other examinees.

He scored 85 points, which was a valid score.

On the other hand, Tang Sina scored a low 75 points.

There were no more than Fox points. The final score of the first candidate was out.

“First examinee, Fan Wei, final score: 8, Seventeen points.”

The examinee whose name was called had no expression on his face. It was as if the score had nothing to do with him.

There was not much discussion on the bullet screen about this first place.

Soon, the second examinee’s work appeared.

Then, it was the third and fourth place…

A total of 30 examinees quickly arrived at the third examinee from the bottom.

So far, the highest score on the field was 91 points.

The third last candidate’s work finally went on stage.

This candidate’s style was the same as Pamela Clark’s. They were both gorgeous medieval princess dresses.

However, due to the Fox rooms, the design of the princess dress looked a little rough.

After the embroidery pattern was displayed on the big screen, the judge shook his head in disappointment.

The embroidery pattern was simply crude. It was almost all lines. It

could be seen that this examinee’s embroidery level was really… indescribable.

In the end, this examinee’s score was out.

“Eighty-one points.”

As soon as he finished speaking, that examinee couldn’t take it anymore and cried. He covered his face and cried.

“Boohoo, why do I have to take the embroidery test? I don’t know embroidery at all…”

Coincidentally, this examinee was sitting behind Tang Sina.

Tang Sina looked like a kind teacher. She turned her head and comforted the student. “Child, don’t be anxious. This isn’t the final score of the exam. The final score will also include the theoretical exam score from this morning. The theoretical exam score is 30%. It’s quite high.”

Only then did the examinee calm down a little.

Her theoretical test scores were not bad, and she was in the top five of the examination hall.

When the comments saw Tang Sina comforting the students, they started to praise her.

“This teacher is so nice and gentle.”

“Sigh, if only my high school teacher was so gentle and considerate. I’ll definitely study hard.”

“Families, why hasn’t the second row of ladies appeared yet? How many more people will it be before it’s her turn? I can’t wait to see her work! The effect of the complicated embroidery will definitely be stunning!”

“I’m waiting too. I’m so anxious. I really want those ugly female fans to delete their accounts as soon as possible!!!”

“Just wait. Let others attack me, okay? I’m just a passerby who just entered the livestream.”

“I’m dying of laughter. I think you’re an ugly female fan disguised as a passerby!”

Chapter 1057

“You’re the ugly one. Your whole family is ugly!”

“Don’t you know how to get older and uglier? All of you can still feel superior after watching a live broadcast. Do your parents know how terrible you look?”

“I really can’t stand it anymore. I didn’t care who was accepted in the end just now. Anyway, they’re all outstanding talents. But with you guys like this, I have no choice but to support a row of young ladies.”

However, these attacks were nothing in front of Pamela Clark’s defenders.

They launched another personal attack, and their hostility filled the entire live-stream.

And on this Fox, the host opened his mouth and said, “Welcome the second last examinee’s work to the stage. This examinee’s admission ticket number is 213… and his name is Pamela Clark.”

As soon as he said this, some people in the comments instantly reacted.

“Pamela Clark? I remember that the lady in the second row is called Pamela Clark. Her name is written on her design.

“In that case, our row of ladies will be the last to appear?”

“Ah ah ah, the fairy maiden from the second row is finally on stage! Hurry up and crush the ugly girl!”

Below the stage, Pamela Clark’s tons of Fox nervously gripped the hem of his dress.

Although she knew that she would definitely be accepted, she still couldn’t help but feel excited and nervous when it came to the Foxth hour.

Here it comes, the Fox minutes when she became famous in one battle.

Ou Jing, Mr. Zuo, please discover my ability!

Pamela Clark prayed in his heart.

As the stage lit up, Susu finally walked onto the stage.

Everyone’s attention was on Susu.

Susu has participated in many runway shows. She was not nervous at all in such a small scene, but although she was not nervous, she was extremely resistant to the clothes on her body.

Regardless of her personality or appearance, she was completely unrelated to classics and princesses.

Now that she was wearing such a princess dress, she felt that her awkwardness was about to flare up.

Susu endured her disdain and walked onto the stage expressionlessly. She followed the light step by step to the center of the stage.

Below the stage, Tang Sina looked at the stage with great anticipation.

Susu was one of the most famous beauties in the school. She was

tall and had excellent professional standards.

Moreover… Pamela Clark also knew complicated embroidery. It would definitely crush the examinees in front.

However, when Tang Sina saw Susu appear in a princess dress that did not match her temperament, the muscles at the corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.

What the hell?!

She had clearly reminded Susu to tell Pamela Clark to modify the design. Why was the gown still a classic Middle-World princess dress?

Moreover, this princess dress was extremely wide, completely covering Susu’s merits.

Susu’s originally superior swan neck was also hidden in the high lace collar, making Tang Sina almost lose control of her expression.

She gritted her teeth and was about to die of anger.

Was Pamela Clark crazy or deaf?

Was she out of her mind?!

Wasn’t this destroying a good card?!

But now, it was too late to say anything.

Tang Sina tried her best to calm herself down.

Coincidentally, at Fox, the camera cut to the embroidery on Susu’s skirt.

Seeing the complicated embroidery and patterns, Tang Sina’s tense nerves relaxed a little.

As expected of complicated embroidery. Although the stitches were slightly stiff, the beautiful and complicated patterns still made one’s eyes light up.

Even Song San could not help but praise.

“Furious embroidery is indeed a treasure of our Halcyon embroidery world.”

The other teachers nodded in agreement.

However, there were also people who said, “It’s just that this examinee’s acupuncture technique seems a little rusty and stiff. I wonder if he has just learned complicated embroidery or if he’s not talented enough.”

“Not only that, this examinee almost didn’t consider the model’s personal style and characteristics at all. This gown looks a little comical on her.”

“That’s right. It’s really a huge loss. If I changed my style and made a short skirt with a waist, the effect would be completely different.”

Tang Sina immediately said, “The three small rooms are FoxFox. Don’t ask too much of the candidates. In my opinion, this work has the best performance so far. Whether it’s the design or the embroidery skills, her performance is very good.”

Tang Sina paused for a moment and continued to add for Pamela Clark, “Although her design doesn’t match the model’s style, in my opinion, the problem is more with the model. Models are meant to show off their clothes, but this model… Not only did she not change her makeup according to the gown, but she also put on the original European and American makeup. She really doesn’t have professionalism.”

“And the most important thing is the work, not the models. I don’t think the models should take up too much of the performance scores.”

When Song San heard this, he could not help but size up Tang Sina.

Previously, he had vaguely felt that something was wrong with Tang Sina, but he could not say it.

But now, he knew where this abnormality came from.

Tang Sina seemed to be especially caring and tolerant of this examinee Pamela Clark.

He clearly remembered the third model who went on stage. Her work was very different from the model’s style. Tang Sina’s score was very low, and she severely criticized the candidates for not “examining the questions.”

However, when it came to Pamela Clark, everything seemed different.

Song San frowned and said, “Teacher Tang, our candidates told the candidates that modeling is one of their topics. They want to customize the birthday dress according to the model’s style. Why are you saying that it’s a problem with the model now?”

Tang Sina looked at Song San coldly.

“Teacher Song, do you have any prejudice against this examinee? A good work is a good work. There’s no doubt about this. This examinee’s performance would almost be maxed out if another model went on stage. Don’t you approve of her complicated embroidery? Among so many examinees, only she knows complicated embroidery.”

“|…—”

“Alright, there’s no need to say more. In short, I think this candidate should be given a higher score. She can’t be pulled down by the model, or it will be extremely unfair to her. What about the other teachers? You should think the same as me, right?”

The other teachers thought about it in their hearts and agreed with Tang Sina.

“There’s indeed nothing wrong with the work itself. It’s the best since the first examinee’s work was displayed. The completion rate is also very high.”

“Yes, it’s not bad to complete such complicated work in three hours.”

Song San opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but the strength of one person was meager.

In the end, Song San’s score was the lowest among the judges. It was an invalid score.

A few seconds later, Pamela Clark’s final score was displayed on the big screen.

“Ninety-six points!”

Someone exclaimed.

The comments immediately filled the screen.

“Niu Boyi! I knew that the young lady from the second row would never disappoint me.”

Chapter 1058

“As expected of the woman I’m taking side with! She’s indeed amazing! The moment her gown came out, it directly turned the works of the examinees in front into dregs.”

“It’s really unimaginable. If three little Fox can make such a perfect gown, how perfect can her gown be if she’s given Fox rooms in three months?”

“There’s indeed a wall between geniuses and ordinary people. We mortals fainted in the toilet from crying.”

But soon, someone objected.

“That’s not right. Although her work’s completion is not bad and the embroidery is beautiful, it doesn’t match the modeling style at all. Overall, it gives people a strange feeling.”

“I remember that there were a few candidates in front whose works didn’t match the modeling style, so the judges gave them very low marks. Why aren’t their marks affected when it comes to this candidate?”

“Not only did it not affect your score, but you even gave such a high score. This is very strange, okay?”

“Didn’t they say that the first row of young ladies is royalty? Why do I feel that the inside story of this second row of candidates is even worse?”

Melody Fox’s defender directly pointed out, “There’s a problem. There must be a problem with these judges.”

But how could Pamela Clark’s defenders be willing to sit and be beaten?

They immediately retorted.

“Are you haters done talking? Do you not want to delete your accounts, so you’re starting to be black?”

“Everyone knows how outstanding her work is, alright? How is it shady? Are you blind?”

“Those who say that it’s shady are all haters. Don’t pay attention to them. As long as the judge’s eyes are sharp, don’t worry about these blind people.”

“Ugly female fans are really willing to do anything to win.”

“I’m dying of laughter. Didn’t you see the complicated embroidery? That’s a treasure in the embroidery world. It’s a king-level existence! She’s already numb from knowing the complicated embroidery, right?”

“Don’t say anything strange. Is there a problem with the teachers at Insterimond University?”

“I’ve broadened my horizons. You ugly female fans are really shameless. The scores are out, but you won’t admit it. Why don’t you establish your own country and be the ruler?”

Pamela Clark’s defenders jumped out one by one to refute. They pointed out that Pamela Clark had a problem. They were all haters and ugly female fans.

Meantime, the judges could look at their phones.

When Tang Sina saw that someone had pointed out that there was a problem with their review, her heart was in her throat.

Fortunately, Pamela Clark’s defenders were strong enough and quickly cleared Pamela Clark’s name. Those netizens who said that there was a problem were completely unable to refute.

Tang Sina exhaled softly and felt happy again.

Now, as long as the score of Melody Fox was released, the matter would be settled.

She could also take the 20 million yuan that Pamela Clark gave her and buy a home that belonged to her at Insterimond.

From now on, she would belong to the Fang Clan.

As for the controversies online, they were just fleeting clouds.

As long as they could not produce any evidence, even if no one believed that Pamela Clark did not have any shady dealings, they could not do anything.

In a society governed by law, evidence was needed for everything.

Song San looked at Pamela Clark’s high score and frowned so hard that he could squeeze a fly to death.

He could not help but remind Tang Sina again.

“Team Leader Tang, I still think that this score is a little too high. I don’t deny that Pamela Clark’s work is not bad, but we can’t ignore her digression.”

“That’s enough, Song San.”

Tang Sina could not take it anymore and called Song San by his name. “As the team leader, I’m warning you seriously now. Please don’t doubt the professionalism of the other teachers, especially me. For the future of the academy, how much do I have to worry about as the team leader? I know best who to accept. If you continue to talk about this, I can only ask you to leave now.”

“-“

“Teacher Song! Stop talking!”

The teacher beside him tugged at Song San’s sleeve.

Seeing that Song San’s expression was still very ugly, she could not help but ask in confusion, “Teacher Song, what’s wrong with you today? The teacher and Team Leader Tang are arguing… I don’t think you like to be in charge. Why are there so many big shots present today? Why aren’t you calm?”

Before Song San could speak, Tang Sina heard him and said sarcastically, “What else could it be? I’m afraid that some people who don’t care about anything have changed because they received gifts that they shouldn’t have received.”

Song San’s expression immediately darkened as he questioned Tang Sina coldly.

“Team Leader Tang, what do you mean by that? Are you saying that I accepted Melody Fox’s gift?”

Tang Sina clicked her tongue and said, “I didn’t name anyone. Why do you think so? Besides, did I mention the examinee called Melody Fox? You’re really…”

Song San’s face was ashen. He wanted to retort, “You…-“

However, at Fox, the host spoke again. “Next, let’s welcome the last candidate’s partner model to the stage.”

“This examinee’s admission ticket number is 214… and her name is Melody Fox.”

Melody Fox’s work was about to be displayed!

Song San swallowed the words he wanted to say.

His admiration for Melody Fox was obvious.

However, under the current circumstances, if Melody Fox’s final work did not crush Pamela Clark’s work, the final person who would be accepted could only be Pamela Clark.

Song San clenched his sleeves tightly. His usually calm heart instantly hung high in the air.

Tang Sina looked at Song San and sneered in her heart.

An arm could not win against a thigh.

The other teachers were all on her side. Even if Song San gave her a high score of 100 points, it would not affect the final score at all.

And with this Fox, the bullet screen showed a situation that was even more lively than before.

“Ah ah ah ah, the works of a row of young ladies are finally going to be displayed. I’m so looking forward to it! It will definitely be very beautiful!”

“It’s a pity that there are too few scenes for a row of young ladies in the later stages of the examination. Other than the few bamboo leaves she embroidered at the beginning, I didn’t see anything else. Model, hurry up and go on stage. I can’t wait to see the finished product.”

“Ugly female fans, your expectations are in vain. What you’re waiting for is only the ending of deleting your accounts and leaving the Internet.”

“Our Miss Pamela Clark has a high score of 96 points. The highest score for the second place is only 92 points. It’s very difficult for some ugly girls to surpass her!”

“Cut it out. We haven’t decided who will win yet. We’ll talk about it after the demonstration!”

“I believe in the strength of the ladies in the first row. Her French embroidery must be better than the complicated embroidery of the person in the second row,”

“What a joke! Even the teachers at Insterimond University don’t think that it’s French embroidery. You’re making a conclusion for her.”

“I’m a designer. To be honest, this 96 points is indeed a little good. This design is to the extent that even I, who has been a designer for five to six years, am amazed. Other than the embroidery technique being a little immature, there’s almost nothing to be picky about. It’s definitely at the level that can be directly displayed on the show.”

Chapter 1059

“Did you see that? The designer said that the work of the second-row lady is very high. You guys, who don’t know anything, are still shouting here. Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?”

“Hehe, but this designer also said that her embroidery skills are still very immature.”

“Everyone, stop arguing. Watch the live broadcast!”

As soon as the host finished speaking, Lin Lin, who was standing backstage, took a deep breath and secretly encouraged himself.

“Good luck…”

She said softly in her heart.

This cheer was both for herself and for Melody Fox.

She must not let Melody Fox down!

Lin Lin raised his head and puffed out his chest. He walked onto the stage in an unprecedented state.

As the lights shone down, Melody Fox’s work finally appeared before everyone’s eyes.

All eyes and attention were on Lin Lin on the stage.

Everyone looked up and saw Lin Lin, who was wearing a strapless classic dress, walking elegantly towards the middle of the stage.

The gown matched her perfectly, making her originally superior waistline look even more amazing.

As Lin Lin walked step by step, her dress emitted a bright moonlight-like light. It was as if the moonlight was shining on her body, but also as if the lake was sparkling. It was indescribably beautiful.

The lifelike bamboo leaves were occasionally mixed with a few perfectly-colored feathers, making one feel as if they were in a bamboo forest by the lake.

Lin Lin’s hair and makeup matched the gown, making people think that the dress existed for her.

In Room Fox, it was as if the air had stopped. Everyone subconsciously held their breaths because of the gown’s exclamation.

The situation in the live stream wasn’t any better.

The bullet screen of the live broadcast was originally endless, but when Melody Fox’s work appeared, the bullet screen of the live broadcast seemed to be stuck. Everyone seemed to be stunned, and they tacitly did not post a single bullet screen.

Coincidentally, at Fox, the camera zoomed in according to the program.

The embroidery pattern on Lin Lin’s body was magnified in an instant.

Beside the lifelike bamboo leaves, there was also a beautiful bamboo dragonfly embroidered with glass white pipe beads.

The bamboo dragonfly was so exquisite that no words could describe it accurately.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew past the window of the conference hall. A dragonfly flew in from outside. After circling a few times, it landed beside the bamboo dragonfly embroidered on Lin Lin’s gown.

In Room Fox, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

The dragonfly embroidery of Melody Fox was not only beautiful, but it also made the real dragonfly think that it was its pattern.

The room was in an uproar.

“Oh my god! Dragonflies! I’ve got the wrong dragonflies!”

“This is too scary. How amazing is this embroidery? I admit defeat!”

“The highest realm of pretending to be real… I’ve really opened my eyes today!”

“Help, I’m so shocked that my jaw is about to fall out. And the dress is so beautiful. It’s simply my dream dress.”

“This dress is really… I’m crying to death. Such a beautiful piece of work can crush the entire venue even if it’s presented at the world’s highest-level show.”

“The finale… makes sense.”

Everyone’s excited voice frightened the dragonfly. After the dragonfly’s wings trembled, it soared into the sky and lingered around for a few rounds before flying away completely.

Everyone clicked their tongues in wonder.

Even Zuo Ye, who was the most knowledgeable person present, widened his eyes and did not come back to his senses for a long time.

After a brief moment of blankness, the bullet screen was suddenly filled with comments.

“Oh my god! My lack of vocabulary can no longer describe my shock. I can only send a sentence of national essence. F*ck!”

“How lucky am I to be able to accidentally click into a live stream and see such an unbelievable scene?”

“Genius… It’s not even enough to describe the designer of this gown.”

“Alright, stop arguing now. The first place has already appeared. Not to mention this examination hall, even in the entire world, no one’s gown can surpass the value of this dress.”

“With true strength, I’m not afraid of any rumors!”

“I always thought that French embroidery was a legend that attracted butterflies. I didn’t expect it to be true. I’ve really opened my eyes.”

“Those keyboard warriors who keep scolding us ugly female fans can come out and kneel down and delete their accounts.”

“If this wasn’t the first place, no one would be able to get first place.”

“Just now, I thought that the previous gown looked good. Now that this gown has appeared, the previous gown instantly disappeared. This is probably similar to the difference between us ordinary people and female celebrities, as well as the difference between the buyer and the seller.”

….

“Indescribably wonderful. I have no regrets in this life!”

Pamela Clark’s defenders seemed to be invisible. No one dared to appear on the bullet screen.

Right at this moment, a furious roar suddenly sounded from the scene.

“That’s impossible!”

The camera subconsciously switched over.

Pamela Clark suddenly stood up. “How is that possible? There must be something wrong here!”

Embroidery attracting butterflies or something like that had always been a legend. How could it really appear in reality?

She pointed at Melody Fox’s nose angrily and questioned, “Tell me the truth. Did you do something to your dress?!”

Melody Fox looked at Pamela Clark as if he was looking at an idiot.

“It’s not like it hasn’t happened in the embroidery world before. You don’t have a good foundation in embroidery, so can’t others do it? Besides, if it’s a butterfly, I can think of a way to attract it, but this is a dragonfly. How can I tamper with it? Can you teach me?”

Speaking of which, Melody Fox was a little surprised when he saw the dragonfly fly in.

It could only be said that the heavens would still take care of her, and not all of them would make her suffer.

However, if he wanted to be blessed by the heavens, he had to work 200% hard.

She had really used all her skills to make this gown.

It had been a long time since she had done anything so seriously.

Fortunately, it seemed like he had gained something from his efforts.

“You, you… Impossible, this is definitely impossible!”

Pamela Clark shook his head with an extremely ugly expression. He refused to believe that Melody Fox had achieved it through his own strength.

The bullet screen said that because Pamela Clark’s defenders were of low quality, everyone had a bad impression of Pamela Clark. When the audience saw this scene, their impression of Pamela Clark instantly became even worse.

“How can you tamper with such a thing? You won’t admit it even after losing, right?”

“I despise such people the most. If she had obediently admitted defeat, I could have praised her design. Now… hehe.”

“The other candidates are all amazed. Why is this person… acting like this? It seems that the fans follow their master. There’s a reason why her defenders are so low-quality.”

Chapter 1060

Just as Fox people were criticizing Pamela Clark’s performance on the bullet screen, Pamela Clark’s defenders became excited and appeared on the bullet screen again.

“I also think there’s a problem! How can there be so many legendary scenes in the world? Everything happened too coincidentally!”

“I support what Miss Pamela Clark said. That gown must have been tampered with. For example, she put something that the dragonflies like. That’s why it attracted the dragonflies.”

“It’s abnormal, it’s really abnormal! If she gets first place, I really won’t admit it!”

“It’s not that I can’t afford to lose, but it’s too fantastical. If it wasn’t deliberately arranged, I don’t believe it would really attract the dragonflies.”

Melody Fox’s defenders rebutted.

“How? Teach us! Don’t find excuses when you lose, okay? I think you can’t afford to lose the most.”

“If you don’t want to delete your account, just say it. Why beat around the bush? You even deliberately emphasized that it’s not that you can’t afford to lose.”

At the live stream, a few very clear comments floated out.

“Isn’t everyone’s focus on something else?”

“Regardless of whether the fake dragonfly on the gown attracted the real dragonfly or not, it’s a coincidence.”

“Even if it doesn’t attract dragonflies, the exquisiteness of this gown

is still better than the works of other examinees.”

As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly reacted.

“That’s right. Why should we pay attention to the dragonfly? The gown itself is stunning and beautiful enough.”

“That’s right, that’s right. I was almost led astray! I forgot about the Fox model who just appeared in a gown. I was so stunned that I forgot to breathe.”

“Well said. Even without the dragonfly, the first place will definitely be the last classical strapless embroidered gown.

“If she hadn’t come in first, I’d really have doubted the professionalism of the judges.”

In Room Fox, Pamela Clark’s defenders fell silent again.

It was not that he did not refute, but he was powerless to refute.

A loss was indeed a loss.

If Pamela Clark didn’t admit it again, the audience’s eyes would be sharp.

At the scene.

I…

Pamela Clark, who had gone crazy a few times, was stopped by Tang Sina.

“Candidates in the back row, please pay attention to the order of the scene! Otherwise, it will affect our judging teacher’s evaluation of the work.”

These words made Pamela Clark suddenly calm down.

‘Right!’

The score was not out yet. Everything was still unknown.

However, one thing was clear. Tang Sina was definitely on his side.

Moreover, it was impossible for Tang Sina to not do anything after receiving the money. She was the team leader and had the most authority.

If she asked the other teachers to give her a low score, the other teachers would not dare to cooperate.

She was too impulsive. Fox had been angered by the dragonfly and actually flipped out at Melody Fox in public.

Who knew how Livestream would scold her now?

Pamela Clark returned to his seat. He wanted to watch the livestream, but he did not dare to. He was afraid that he would lose his mind again because of the scolding from the bullet screen.

She turned her head and glared at Melody Fox.

Seeing that Melody Fox was calm and composed, his eyes instantly turned colder.

I’ll let you be smug for a while longer.

So what if you have a geographical advantage?

As long as Tang Sina stood on her side, she would not have to worry about not being accepted.

Faced with Pamela Clark’s provocative and hateful cold gaze, Melody Fox expressed that it did not matter.

‘So what if you can’t stand me?’

‘You can’t get rid of me.’

Right at this moment, Melody Fox’s phone vibrated.

She glanced at the message. It was from Spencer.

After reading the content, the corners of Melody Fox’s lips slowly curled into a faint smile.

So that was how it was.

No wonder Pamela Clark suddenly calmed down.

Unfortunately… she had already made arrangements.

Melody Fox quickly replied to Spencer’s message. Then, he put away his phone and quietly waited for a good show.

At the same time, the judges also entered the judging stage.

Song San was the first to speak. “It’s not an exaggeration to give her a hundred marks for this work! Everyone knows her standard. I don’t think we should look at her work with prejudice. What do you think?”

The other teachers also recovered from their shock.

However, before they could speak, Tang Sina spoke first.

“Teacher Song, don’t you know that the greenery in our academy is very good, so there have always been many dragonflies and butterflies in the academy? A dragonfly flew in by chance and landed in the brightest place. This kind of coincidence can’t even be considered a coincidence, right?”

Song San frowned.

He knew that… even if Tang Sina saw Melody Fox’s work, she would not change her opinion of Melody Fox.

Although he did not know the real reason why Tang Sina was so against Melody Fox, he could already feel that Tang Sina was trying to help the examinee who scored 96 points.

If he remembered correctly, it was called Pamela Clark.

Song San was not swayed by Tang Sina’s words and went straight to the point.

“Team Leader Tang, you’re wrong. Our focus shouldn’t be on that dragonfly but on the gown. When the gown just came out, I saw your stunning reaction, Teacher Tang. Why have you forgotten everything now? Do you only remember that dragonfly?”

“You…-“

Tang Sina felt a lump in her throat as she quickly thought of a way to deal with it.

If she had known that Song San was so difficult to deal with, she would have excluded him from the judging teacher from the beginning.

Tang Sina took a deep breath and said, “Of course, my focus is not only on a dragonfly that appeared by chance. In terms of the gorgeousness of the gown, the examinee just now is naturally better. The gown Melody Fox looks good, but it doesn’t fit the theme. A birthday banquet… Is it really good to wear such a simple and classic dress? She’s going to someone else’s birthday banquet, right?”

As Tang Sina spoke, she lowered her voice and reminded them, “Also, don’t forget that I told you from the start that this student’s character is not good. We can’t accept such a scourge into the academy,”

With that, Tang Sina made her stand clear.

“In short, I won’t give this work a very high score. The other teachers, you’d better consider it carefully. Our school has never lacked talents, but what we’re most afraid of is the appearance of rat feces that ruin the school’s reputation. A rat feces spoils a pot of oatmeal yuan. I don’t think anyone wants to see it happen, right? If any of you give a high score, I’ll definitely investigate seriously if you’ve privately received anything.”

Song San’s expression had never been so ugly.

“Even if this student’s character is lacking, as teachers, we are correcting the students and leading them on the right path.”

“Hehe, this kind of thing is not done by our teacher, but by the police. Leading bad people on the right path is the job of the police, not our teacher’s job, right? Moreover, Pamela Clark’s work is a classic

traditional embroidery. But she’s destined to be first in the traditional embroidery.”

Song San immediately retorted, “But candidate Melody Fox’s embroidery technique is still French embroidery. French embroidery is more complicated than complicated embroidery. It’s more difficult and rare, right?”

Chapter 1061

Tang Sina chuckled again and said, “Teacher Song, we’ve discussed this question a long time ago. Her embroidery technique is quite skilled, but whether her technique is French embroidery or not, none of us can say for sure, right?”

“What are you…”

Before Song San could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared.

His eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Tang Sina and said, “I indeed don’t have the right to judge whether this is French embroidery or not, but it doesn’t matter because the person who can judge is here. Professor Zhan, over here!”

Hearing this, Tang Sina was shocked.

She subconsciously looked in the direction Song San had greeted her and saw Zhan Chunlai walking toward her classroom.

Tang Sina’s right eyelid twitched.

All the teachers present knew that Zhan Chunlai had been studying French embroidery for many years.

There are also many international papers on the theme of French embroidery.

He had great authority in assessing whether the work was French embroidery.

Even Tang Sina had no right to question his authority.

Damn it, Song San actually invited Professor Zhan over.

She thought that Professor Zhan lived far away and that he couldn’t rush over within the short Fox rooms.

When Professor Zhan arrived, the matter was fixed and could not be changed.

However… Professor Zhan had really arrived at the critical Fox minutes!

Tang Sina gritted her teeth in hatred.

Coincidentally, Zhan Chunlai had already walked to the judges’ table.

She could only welcome him with a smile, praying that Melody Fox’s embroidery was not really French embroidery.

“Professor Zhan, hello. I’ve come all the way here, but I have to trouble you to make this trip.”

Tang Sina smiled and said some polite words.

Zhan Chunlai stood still with his walking stick. He waved his hand and interrupted Tang Sina’s flattery. “You’re welcome. This is my duty. Besides, I’m very passionate about French embroidery. I’m willing to make this trip.”

God knew that at his age, to catch up to room Fox, he actually came with his grandson’s motorcycle.

This old skeleton was almost broken by the motorcycle!

“Where’s the work?” Zhan Chunlai asked with a clear purpose.

All the Fox models were already on stage.

Song San hurriedly pointed to the stage and said, “That’s the one on the far right.”

Although Zhan Chunlai’s legs were not good, his eyesight was still very good.

He looked over and his eyes widened in the next second.

“French embroidery… It’s really French embroidery! I thought that I wouldn’t be able to see new French embroidery works.”

Song San was pleasantly surprised.

He tried his best to calm down and said with certainty, “Professor Zhan, are you sure this is French embroidery?”

“Of course! I’ve been studying French embroidery for so many years. If I can’t confirm it with my own eyes, I’ve worked for nothing these few years! This is definitely French embroidery.”

Tang Sina panicked.

“Professor Zhan, could it be that you saw wrongly because of the distance? After all… French embroidery has disappeared for several years. It’s too strange and sudden to suddenly appear in the hands of an examinee, right?”

Zhan Chunlai was stunned. He nodded and said, “It’s indeed too sudden. I have to take a closer look to be sure.”

Tang Sina felt slightly relieved.

….

She exhaled in her heart and said with a smile, “It looks like this examinee’s work might not necessarily be French embroidery. I knew that this was a very rare thing. It’s impossible for a lost skill to appear out of thin air.”

After Tang Sina finished speaking, she glanced at Song San and said with a smile, “Teacher Song, it looks like I’ll have to disappoint you. Professor Zhan is wrong. This examinee Melody Fox is indeed very skilled in embroidery. He can be considered outstanding, but he’s obviously not on the same level as complicated embroidery.”

Song San gritted his teeth. Before he could say anything, Zhan Chunlai suddenly grabbed Tang Sina’s sleeve.

He looked at Tang Sina agitatedly and asked, “Whose work did you say it was?! Say the name again!”

Tang Sina was shocked by Zhan Chunlai’s sudden excitement.

“Professor Zhan, what are you…”

Zhan Chunlai did not want to hear anything else. He interrupted Tang Sina and said, “Don’t say anything else. Just tell me the name of the creator of this work!”

Tang Sina was baffled, but the other party was an elder. With his seniority, she had to call him senior respectfully.

Therefore, no matter how uncomfortable Tang Sina was, she could only answer truthfully. “It’s called Melody Fox. What’s wrong?”

“Melody Fox! I didn’t hear wrongly just now… It’s really Melody Fox! Is she Silverlake? Is she a little girl in her twenties?”

Tang Sina shook her head and said, “He’s indeed in his twenties. But I…

“Is there a problem with this candidate?”

“Do you know her? Or… is there something else?”

الا

The other teachers could not suppress their curiosity and asked questions one after another.

Zhan Chunlai nodded, but then quickly shook his head.

He did not know how to answer. He deliberated over his words before saying, “I know her… but I don’t really know her. To be precise, I only know her name. However, I know her master. Many of you have heard of her master’s name.”

Song San quickly asked, “Who is her master?”

“Ciyu.”

As soon as this name was mentioned, the teachers were stunned.

Song San was the first to react. He widened his eyes and confirmed, “Are you talking about the last descendant of French embroidery, Master Ci Yu?”

Zhan Chunlai nodded and said, “Other than her, who else is called Ciyu? This surname is not common.”

Song Sandong was also excited.

“She’s a master and Ci Yu… So, her embroidery technique is definitely French embroidery?”

“That’s right! Before Ci Yu passed away, she told me this name several times. After Ci Yu left, I’ve been looking for traces of her last disciple, but I haven’t been able to find her. It’s said that she’s

Silverlake people, but I went to Silverlake a few years ago and asked all of them, but I didn’t find anyone whose age and name matched. Moreover, even if there were people with the same name and surname who were different in age, I’ve confirmed them all. It’s not her.”

Chapter 1062

As Zhan Chun spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up again.

“But I didn’t expect to meet her at our school! Tell me quickly, where is she and what does she look like? I’m going to look for her now!”

Seeing this, Song San finally remembered the serious matter.

He quickly reminded Zhan Chunlai, “Professor Zhan, since she’s already here, it doesn’t matter if we meet early or late. Her results haven’t been released yet. Why don’t we discuss her results together?”

Tang Sina’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot when Zhan Chun said Melody Fox’s master’s name.

Now that Song San said this, she immediately said, “Teacher Song, I’m the leader of the judging team. Although Professor Zhan has more experience than me, the members of the judging team have been decided long ago. If you suddenly join someone, you’ll make things difficult for me.”

Unexpectedly, Zhan Chunlai waved his hand and said, “I don’t care about these things. I want to see her now. Who can tell me where she is now? I don’t want to disturb your matters, so I won’t shout. Someone quickly brings me to see her!”

Tang Sina heaved a sigh of relief.

It was fine as long as Zhan Chunlai did not interfere in this matter.

If Zhan Chunlai insisted on interfering in the judges’ matters, even if she was the team leader, she probably wouldn’t be able to stop him.

She was afraid that something would happen and was anxious to get Zhan Chunlai to leave, so she immediately pointed out the direction for Zhan Chunlai.

“Professor Zhan, he’s right there. The seventh row behind us.”

Zhan Chunlai counted and saw a row of people sitting in the seventh row. He asked, “There are so many people in that row. Which one is her? What does she look like?”

Tang Sina said meaningfully, “She looks very unique. You can see her at a glance. The most eye-catching one is her. You will definitely find her.”

Zhan Chunlai nodded and ignored Song San’s repeated calls. He even abandoned his walking stick and walked straight to the back row.

“Professor Zhan!”

Song San was extremely anxious. However, there were people sitting on both sides of him and he could not go out at all. He could only watch Zhan Chunlai’s figure disappear into the dim light of the corridor.

“Teacher Song.”

Tang Sina said slowly, “You can go out if you want to, but if you leave your seat, I’ll take it that you’ve forfeited and automatically given up your status as a judge.”

“You…-“

Song San was furious.

He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I won’t go out! But you heard it just now. Professor Zhan has already confirmed that Melody Fox’s work is French embroidery. Just now, you used embroidery techniques to judge the outstanding level. Now, Melody Fox’s level is clearly higher than that person with 96 points. Other than Melody Fox, who else dares to claim first place?”

After Zhan Chunlai left, Tang Sina immediately revealed her true colors.

She sneered and said, “I admit that her embroidery technique is indeed higher than Pamela Clark’s, but so what? I will never change my mind. Even if she is the number one embroiderer today, I don’t dare to accept a student with a bad character. The academy’s reputation is number one. If you don’t want to harm the entire academy and Insterimond University, then continue to persist. I believe the other teachers will make the right choice, right?”

She looked at the other teachers.

Song San also looked at the other teachers.

The teachers looked at each other and were in a dilemma.

At the same time, Zhan Chunlai finally arrived at the row where Melody Fox was.

He looked up and immediately saw the most outstanding girl in the row of candidates.

The ages matched.

His temperament… didn’t seem bad.

It should be her.

Zhan Chunlai said to the examinees sitting outside, “Student, I’m sorry. Let me through. My academy’s professor wants to find an examinee sitting inside.”

When the examinees heard that it was a professor and saw that the other party was staggering because of his old age, they immediately stood up and made way for Zhan Chunlai.

Zhan Chunlai walked inside with difficulty and finally stopped in front of the person he was looking for.

“Student…”

Pamela Clark had long sensed the commotion over there and heard the other party introduce himself.

Seeing this professor stop beside him, he was immediately overjoyed.

“Are you looking for me?”

Zhan Chunlai nodded hard and said with glowing eyes, “I’ve seen your work. It’s very outstanding! That embroidery technique is simply lifelike… It’s amazing!”

Pamela Clark was even happier.

However, she still tried her best not to be too excited. She only smiled and said, “Thank you for your praise. If I get into University Insterimond, I will definitely work harder in the future and strive to bring glory to the academy.”

“You will. To put it bluntly, no one can surpass you if your work is placed there. If they don’t accept you, they’ll be blind. But don’t worry, they’re all professionals. They’ll definitely accept you.”

Pamela Clark was so happy that he almost couldn’t control his expression.

“Thank you, Professor. I’ll definitely work hard.”

After saying that, she subconsciously glanced at Melody Fox, who was sitting beside her.

Seeing that Melody Fox was also looking at her, the corners of her lips immediately curled up smugly.

So what if he used shameful methods to attract the real dragonfly?

Even an old professor with deep qualifications like her was delighted with her work.

As expected, only professionals could tell if it was a real pearl or a useless inferior stone.

From the corner of her eye, she noticed that the other examinees were also looking at her enviously. The satisfaction in her heart could not be any greater.

“Good boy. What a good boy.”

Zhan Chunlai did not notice Pamela Clark’s reaction and sat down on

the empty seat to the right of Pamela Clark.

“Son, there’s something I need to tell you.”

Pamela Clark came back to his senses and met Zhan Chunlai’s

admiring gaze. “Yes, go ahead. I’m listening.”

“Then I’ll tell you. Don’t be intimidated by me.”

“Go ahead.”

“I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”

“Huh?” Pamela Clark was stunned. “You’re looking for me? What for?”

“I’ve been looking for you for a few years, but don’t misunderstand. I don’t have any other intentions. I’m looking for you because of my old friend, Ci Yu. She mentioned to me you’re her disciples and praised you endlessly every time. She said that you’re the most intelligent and smart person she’s ever met.”

“…Ah?” Pamela Clark was even more confused. He could not help but ask, “I’m sorry, Professor. May I know who Ci Yu is? I don’t think… I don’t remember any friends named Ci Yu.”

Zhan Chunlai was stunned.

“Are… are you kidding me?”

Would anyone not know his master’s name?

Pamela Clark quickly thought about it in his mind.

But in the end, it was futile.

She shook her head. “Professor, I’m not joking. There’s indeed no one called Ci Yu among my friends. I won’t remember such a special name wrongly.”

Zhan Chunlai was silent for two seconds before speaking again.

“Isn’t your master called Ci Yu?!”

“My master…? You mean… what master?”

Chapter 1063

Pamela Clark felt strange.

Not to mention Ci Yu, She didn’t even have a master.

Those who had given her lessons could at most call her a teacher, right? Why would they use the word ‘master’?

Seeing Zhan Chunlai’s complicated expression, she was about to ask carefully when Zhan Chunlai suddenly asked her, “Student, what’s your name? Your name is Melody Fox, right?”

The corner of Pamela Clark’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.

His expression darkened at a visible speed.

When she heard Zhan Chunlai’s praise just now, she was so happy and proud. Now, she was so angry and broke down.

After listening for a long time, it turned out that this old man was not praising her at all, but that slut Melody Fox!

Damn it!

Why didn’t this old man die!!

“You’re not Melody Fox?”

Zhan Chunlai saw the complicated expression on Pamela Clark’s face, but he did not speak for a long time. He finally realized that he had recognized the wrong person.

“I… I’m not Melody Fox. My name is Pamela Clark!” Pamela Clark clenched her fists tightly.

“Then who is Melody Fox…”

Pamela Clark subconsciously looked at Melody Fox, causing Zhan Chunlai to look at the person beside her.

When she saw the other party’s appearance, he immediately recalled what Tang Sina had said. “She looks very unique. You can find her at a glance. The most eye-catching one is her.”

It turned out that… this was not that eye-catching.

He had misunderstood what Tang Sina meant!

Zhan Chunlai felt awkward.

However, compared to embarrassment, he was more excited to see Melody Fox.

Therefore, Zhan Chunlai hurriedly said to Pamela Clark, “Sorry, I mistook you for someone else.” Then, he got up and squeezed past Pamela Clark to the left of Melody Fox.

“Y…-you’re Melody Fox? Your name is Melody Fox, right?”

Melody Fox was just a little bored from waiting for the score, so she looked at Pamela Clark.

Unexpectedly, she was the one who ate the melon?

She subconsciously blinked a few times and nodded blankly. “Yes, my name is Melody Fox… Ci Yu is indeed one of my masters. However, she passed away a few years ago. What can I do for you?”

“Child! I’ve finally found you!”

Zhan Chunlai almost burst into tears.

The fact that he had recognized the wrong person made him feel that it was not easy to find Melody Fox. His eyes turned red.

Melody Fox saw the old man’s red eyes and was immediately felt at a loss.

“Old man… don’t, you…”

“My name is Zhan Chunlai.” Zhan Chunlai rubbed his sore eyes and introduced himself. “I’m a professor here. I’ve always been devoted to French embroidery and have written many related papers. Ci Yu is my friend. We used to discuss embroidery together.”

Melody Fox nodded. She somewhat understood Zhan Chunlai’s intentions.

“I see. Master Ci mentioned me to you, so you’ve been looking for me since she passed away?”

“That’s right!” Zhan Chunlai rubbed his eyes again and sadly recalled what happened back then.

“When Ci Yu was seriously ill, she suddenly told me one day that she had found a miracle doctor who could cure her. I was very happy for her, but because of work, I couldn’t accompany her to find that miracle doctor. After that, for some reason, she cut off contact with me. It was already half a year later when she returned to Insterimond.”

“She was so thin that she almost lost her looks. She told me that she only had a week to live at most. So she went back to Insterimond and returned to her roots.”

“However, she didn’t seem to care that she was about to leave. She happily told me that she had taken in an extremely talented last disciple, and it was you!”

“I’m also very happy for her. But two days later, when I went to look for her, she couldn’t even speak properly. I could only get information about you from her sporadic words, but the information was really limited… So even though I kept looking for you in Silverlake, I couldn’t find you.”

Through Zhan Chunlai’s memories, Melody Fox also thought of his master who loved embroidery as much as his life.

Although Ci Yu’s name had the word “Ci” in it, she was actually a true strict teacher.

Melody Fox had actually had many masters under her main master Quentin Parker’s arrangement.

However, the extent of Ci Yu’s strictness still left her with lingering fear.

However, she now completely understood Ci Yu’s painstaking efforts.

She wanted to teach her everything in the Fox rooms she had left.

Because once she was gone, there would be no one left to correct her errors in embroidery.

Therefore, Ci Yu wanted her to learn the art of embroidery until it was impeccable.

That period of time was really tough. Not a single one of her ten fingers was good.

Even her master Quentin Parker’s heart ached for a long time when her hand was covered in bloody holes.

Melody Fox sighed and said, “Master Ci… is a very good master. Without her, I wouldn’t have been able to come into contact with French embroidery at all. I’m very grateful to her. Unfortunately…”

Unfortunately, the heavens were jealous of talents.

Ci Yu found her master Quentin Parker. However, because her illness had dragged on for too long and was too serious.

Quentin Parker gave her all, but it only added 40% to Ci Yu’s life by half a year.

She had learned French embroidery in the past six months.

After Ci Yu left that day, she even specially told her not to send her off. She said that she had already graduated and did not need her anymore.

When she thought about how Ciyu felt when she said those words, Melody Fox’s throat felt bitter.

Her eyes reddened as well.

“It’s not a loss for Master Ci to have a friend like you.”

Zhan Chunlai shook his head.

“She left too soon. She could have had a better future. More people would have known about her, about French embroidery.”

Zhan Chunlai sighed, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “However, she still brought you out in the end! Although I didn’t look at your work carefully, it’s obvious that the student surpasses the master. She must be very satisfied.”

‘Thank you. I will not let my master’s skill’s be lost. I will bring it to greater heights.’

When the Justalion Group returned to her hands, it would be the day when French embroidery would flourish.

This day would soon arrive.

The trap she had set up to take back her mother’s the Justalion Group was almost time to close the net.

“I believe you…”

Zhan Chunlai said humbly, “I wonder if I can get your contact information. I won’t disturb you often. I promise.”

Melody Fox did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“Of course. It’s my pleasure.”

“Alright, alright, alright. My account is…”

Zhan Chunlai immediately added Melody Fox as a friend.

Beside him, Pamela Clark clenched his fists tightly. The veins on his arms were clearly visible.

French embroidery…

Her master was actually the last descendant of French embroidery!

When she recalled the Fox Marquis at Zhan Chunlai, she immediately went to investigate Ci Yu.

If he hadn’t checked, he wouldn’t have known. But when he did, he was shocked.

Ci Yu was simply the most legendary figure in the embroidery world.

She just didn’t have long to live. Otherwise, if she could live until now, how many people would praise her…

Chapter 1064

However, such a legendary figure actually accepted someone like Melody Fox as her last and only disciple!

Wasn’t he an embroidery master? Why was his taste so bad?

Why did she have to choose Melody Fox?

Anger mixed with jealousy made Pamela Clark feel like he was about to explode.

Over there.

Melody Fox and Zhan Chunlai had just exchanged contact information and added each other as friends. The host’s voice happened to come from Fox.

“Alright, I’ll let everyone wait for a long time. After an intense discussion, the final score is out. Now, please announce the final score of candidate Melody Fox on the big screen.”

Everyone, including Melody Fox, looked at the big screen.

The next second, a two-digit number appeared on the big screen.

“Ninety-one.”

Melody Fox was stunned and subconsciously frowned.

91 points.

However, her brows immediately relaxed again.

It seemed that the teacher surnamed Tang had received a lot of benefits from Pamela Clark.

In this way, she had no choice but to activate her plan.

Initially, she did not want to care about Tang Sina’s character, but since it had happened to her and touched her interests, she could only do that.

She took out her phone and quickly sent a message to Spencer.

Spencer replied almost instantly. “Roger that.”

The words ‘Janet Murphy’ revealed countless information.

She didn’t look at her phone again, but put it away again.

After a moment of silence, a huge commotion broke out.

“91 points? This work is actually 91 points?”

“Uh… This is too strange. This work is more than enough to win an international award. Why is it only 91 points?”

“That’s right. Even if they scored 101 points, I think it’s normal. 91 points… Isn’t that a little too ridiculous?”

“These teachers’ aesthetic standards suddenly make me feel that it’s better not to enter University Insterimond. I won’t be able to learn anything good from them.”

Pamela Clark did not care about the discussions at all. His mind was filled with pride.

So what if he was favored by the professor?

Can it change the ending?

It couldn’t be changed!

She had long said that she would be the one to be accepted in the end, not Melody Fox.

Pamela Clark looked at Melody Fox smugly, looking like a victor.

The live broadcast room was also in an uproar.

“Are these judges blind? 91 points for this work? They must be crazy or have a problem with their eyes.”

“A shady deal. This is definitely a shady deal. I didn’t expect the No. 1 Academy’s Insterimond University to have such a shady deal.”

“How dare they start a live broadcast when there’s a conspiracy? I’m afraid Insterimond University is trying to fall from their pedestal.”

But soon, Pamela Clark’s defenders jumped out.

“Yo, yo, yo. Ugly female fans are getting anxious. If you lose, you say it’s shady. I think you’re the shady ones! She hired the Internet Water Army, right?”

“A bunch of idiots who don’t know anything actually dare to question the judges of the First Academy. Where did you get your courage from? Did Liang Jingru give you the courage?”

“You don’t need to think about it with your limited intelligence. If there was a conspiracy, why would they dare to start a live broadcast?”

“The teachers must have their reasons for giving such a score. Ordinary people like you shouldn’t be putting on airs and questioning professional teachers here.”

There was a lot of controversy online, and Zhan Chunlai finally recovered from his shock.

“Are Tang Sina, Song San, and the others crazy? How could it be this score? They must have made a mistake!”

Zhan Chunlai frowned.

To put it bluntly, if Insterimond universities did not accept a talent like Melody Fox, it would definitely be a huge loss for Insterimond universities.

After all, Melody Fox’s embroidery technique could be considered a precious asset of Halcyon. It could attract the attention of the world.

The reason why he was not interested in joining the judging panel was not because he did not care about Melody Fox’s score, but because he thought that after he explained that Melody Fox’s embroidery technique must be French embroidery, regardless of whether he was in the judging panel or not, his colleagues would give Melody Fox a high score.

Therefore, compared to joining the judging panel, he was more anxious to see Melody Fox as soon as possible.

But now that the results were out, it simply made his jaw drop.

Crazy! Those people were simply muddle-headed!

“Melody Fox, don’t be anxious. I’ll help you ask what’s going on. There

might be a mistake in the score statistics.”

“Professor Zhan, don’t be busy. There’s no need to ask.”

Melody Fox stopped Professor Zhan and said, “I don’t think the teachers will make such a low-level mistake. This is the score they want to give me.”

Zhan Chunlai was puzzled.

“What do you mean? Why don’t I understand? They shouldn’t give you such a low score. I think it’s normal to give you full marks for your work.”

Melody Fox gave a half-smile.

“There’s no hurry. If there’s really a problem, they’ll definitely discover it.”

Even so, Melody Fox’s heart was like the Sun and Moon Mirror.

There was no problem with the score, but the problem was with the person.

However, she was not in a hurry. Instead, she slowly began to count down to Fox in her heart.

The show was about to begin.

On the other side.

After Zuo Ye found out that Melody Fox’s work was the last show, he temporarily left the conference hall and went to a quiet place to deal with other things.

Fox minutes after the results were announced, he happened to walk into the conference hall.

When he saw that Melody Fox was not first place, his entire face instantly turned cold.

“What’s going on?”

Zuo Ye’s subordinate looked down and immediately said, “Mr. Zuo, I’ll help you ask.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the big screen on the stage suddenly turned green without warning.

The points and rankings that were originally displayed on it had all disappeared.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the green screen changed to two transfer records.

The two transfer records were larger than the previous one. They were 400 thousand dollars and 4 million dollars respectively.

The names of the transferor and recipient were also clearly displayed on it.

“Transfer: Pamela Clark.”

“Payee: Tang Sina.”

Zuo Ye stopped in his tracks and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

‘I see.’

‘But who did this?’

….

Meanwhile, Tang Sina and Pamela Clark’s expressions changed drastically.

Tang Sina went crazy and screamed, “Turn it off! Who did this? Turn it off!”

In Room 1Fox, everyone looked at Tang Sina, and discussions rose and fell.

“Such a huge transfer… This is definitely a shady deal!”

“I say, how can the last work not be first place? If I remember correctly, Tang Sina is the invigilator, right? Pamela Clark is the current first place. Tsk, she’s really generous!”

Song San was stunned for a moment before he looked at Tang Sina coldly and asked, “Team Leader Tang, what’s going on?”

“That’s right, Teacher Tang. Is the transfer record real? How could you do this…”

The other teachers also questioned.

Chapter 1065

The dean and the principal’s faces were as black as the bottom of a pot.

The two of them had never thought that such a scandal would appear in their school.

Especially since the examinees were broadcasting the entire process. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for this matter not to spread.

It could be imagined that this matter would continue to ferment and cause Insterimond University’s reputation to be ruined.

Insterimond University’s centuries-old reputation will suffer a serious blow.

“Tang Sina! What is going on?!” The dean could not take it anymore. He turned around and questioned Tang Sina loudly.

Tang Sina’s face turned pale.

She would never have thought that the big screen would display her collection record so clearly.

However, under everyone’s questioning, Tang Sina was calmer than the Fox people at the beginning.

She secretly pinched her thigh hard, and tears immediately flowed down her face from the pain.

“I’m innocent! Principal! Principal!”

Tears and snot flowed down her face as she said aggrievedly, “Director, you know my character the best. In school, no matter what I do, I put the school’s reputation and interests first. How could I do such a thing? I really didn’t do it! You have to believe me!”

The dean frowned and asked, “If you confiscated the money, why is there a record of receipt?”

Tang Sina had already thought of an excuse.

“This is obviously a photoshopped photo! It’s fake!

Someone is deliberately trying to frame me! It’s just a photo.

Even if you don’t know much about computers, you can easily photoshop it. You can’t be sure that I really took the examinee’s money just because of a photo! Moreover, think about it. The entire process of the examinee is broadcasted live. Even if I really wanted to accept bribes, I wouldn’t dare to do so under such circumstances. Think about it, isn’t that the case?”

The more Tang Sina spoke, the more her tears fell, so much so that the director, who had been furious just now, calmed down a little.

“Are you sure you didn’t take the money?”

“I really didn’t take the money. I can swear to God! If I take the money, I’m willing to submit my resignation immediately!”

“This…” Seeing how determined Tang Sina was, the dean could not help but look at the principal, wanting to ask for his opinion.

The principal frowned, but when he saw Tang Sina’s aggrieved expression, he could not help but doubt the authenticity of the picture on the screen.

After two seconds of silence, the principal asked, “Are you really going to confiscate a single cent from the examinees?” “I didn’t! Someone coveted my position as the leader of the teaching team and wanted to frame me. Please investigate! If you don’t believe me, you can look at my bank balance.” As Tang Sina spoke, she counted out her bank balance. It showed that she had more than 70,000 yuan. It was the savings that a normal teacher would have.

However, no one knew that Tang Sina had already transferred the money to her relatives.

He even deleted the transfer records.

“Moreover, you can ask the candidate above. I have no contact with her in private at all.”

Pamela Clark, whose name was called, also calmed down. He immediately explained loudly, “Teachers, I don’t know this Teacher Tang at all. This picture is fake. Someone didn’ t want me to get first place and deliberately harmed me.”

The principal and dean’s expressions softened slightly.

“It’s fine as long as there’s no such thing. As for who created the picture, we’ll definitely find out. If you’re really innocent, I’ll definitely clear your name,” the principal said.

“Thank you, Principal. Thank you for believing me and not letting anyone succeed.”

Tang Sina said gratefully.

However, in the next second, the big screen that displayed the picture suddenly turned green again.

Also in Fox, an audio clip began to play.

“Teacher Tang, please keep this 400 thousand dollars well. It’s just a small token. I only hope that you can meet me and Pamela Clark in Room Fox for lunch.”

“It’s just a meeting. You’re too polite.”

“Thank you so much. Shall we meet at the Chinese restaurant opposite our school? I’ve already booked a private room, Room 888. It’s Fox PM. Please do me a favor.” “Sure, I’ll definitely agree to Fox.”

“Alright, I’ll see you at twelve. Goodbye, Teacher Tang.”

After the audio played, the conversation between Tang Sina and Jian Huan on the phone ended.

The blood drained from their faces at a speed visible to the naked eye. Both of their faces were extremely pale.

Their conversation was actually broadcasted the entire time!

“Tang Sina!” The dean almost cursed.

He tried his best to control his anger and said, “Is this what you mean by someone framing you? You didn’t take any money at all? You gave 400 thousand dollars yuan just because you met him? Your Fox yuan appearance fee has become so high? Do you dare to say that you don’t know what 400 thousand dollars yuan represents?”

Tang Sina shook her head subconsciously.

She quickly organized her words in her mind and said, “I’m innocent, Director! I did go out for lunch this afternoon, but I ate alone and didn’t see anyone at all. Moreover, photos can be photoshopped, and audio can be faked. These are not difficult things to do. You have to believe me! The most important thing now is to quickly investigate the person who framed me.”

“The audio can be faked?”

“Of course! As long as you extract my voice, you can artificially create fake audio. The person who wants to frame me behind my back is too scheming. You must find this guy who wants to ruin the school’s reputation!”

However, this time, before the director could speak again, a surveillance video appeared on the big screen.

The surveillance footage was obviously from Tang Sina’s office.

Tang Sina suddenly widened her eyes.

In the surveillance video, Pamela Clark and Jian Huan walked into the office.

Tang Sina welcomed him with a smile.

The video could extract sound, so their conversation with Fox was played very clearly.

4 million dollars’s payment also came from this surveillance video.

Tang Sina’s heart turned cold.

She could defend herself with pictures and audio, but how could she defend herself with this video?

However, what was going on?

Insterimond University had surveillance cameras in every office and classroom. This was because not long ago, outsiders had come to the school to steal. This was to guard against thieves.

However, she had clearly deleted the video after asking Jian Huan and Pamela Clark to leave. How could it appear again?!

However, before everyone could react, the big screen played the audio again.

It was Tang Sina who called Pamela Clark to inform him that the theme of the exam was birthday party evening gowns. The main point was to test their embroidery skills so that Pamela Clark could prepare in advance.

After the audio ended, the entire venue fell silent.

Tang Sina could no longer say anything to defend herself. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground. She was like a pool of mud and could not get up even if she wanted to. She knew that she was finished.

Chapter 1046

Susu felt guilty and ashamed. She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. Continue.”

Pamela Clark pursed his lips and ignored his model. He was focused on cutting.

They only had Fox rooms. There were only three small Fox rooms in total. Now that half of the small Fox rooms were about to pass, she could not waste Fox rooms on insignificant vases.

After all, she was a model. Wasn’t she just a vase?

Why did he have to arrange flowers for her? She had to accept it.

It’s not about what kind of flowers the flower arranger should put in.

Susu was completely ignored. The light in her eyes was no longer as bright as when she first came in.

She unintentionally looked up and saw Lin Lin and Melody Fox talking and laughing in front of her. The atmosphere was very good, and she could not help but envy them.

Fox, who had just entered, actually noticed Melody Fox at first glance.

Melody Fox was the plainest among these candidates. He did not have the aura of a designer. He looked too ordinary.

Therefore, at first, she was actually glad that she was not assigned to group Melody Fox.

But now, she hoped that she could swap places with Lin Lin.

After all, no matter who was accepted in the end, models like them had credits. Whether their partner was accepted or not had nothing to do with them.

The three small rooms were not long, but the partner beside her did not even look at her. The time seemed especially long.

How boring. These three hours seemed to have become incomparably torturous.

The vigor on Susu’s body visibly faded, replaced by a tired expression. Even her back was not so straight anymore.

Similarly, the number of viewers in the live stream was also increasing rapidly. The bullet screen was almost filled with comments.

“The standards of this batch of candidates seem to be very good! As expected of University Insterimond. I heard that those who can enter the special talent recruitment this time are already outstanding.”

“As expected, Insterimond University is a dream that ordinary people can only dream of. Every one of their designs is so beautiful.”

“The models are also very good-looking. But what’s wrong with the beauty in the second row? She looks very tired.” “Finally, someone mentioned this beauty! I’ve been staring at her! However, her designer doesn’t seem to care much about the style of her model. The designs she drew don’t match this beautiful lady’s style at all.”

“Didn’t anyone notice the model in the first row?! I don’t know why, but when she first entered the examination hall, I thought she was the most ordinary. But now, the more I look at her, the more I think she’s good-looking.”

“I noticed! And her designer is amazing. The clothes are simply tailor-made for her. I wonder what the finished product will be like.”

The candidates naturally could not see the bullet screen in the live stream.

However, the people in the classroom next door could actually see the comments.

When Zuo Ye saw that everyone was praising Melody Fox’s Fox, the corners of his tightly pursed lips unconsciously curled into a slight arc, and his tense back relaxed.

At first, when he found out that Melody Fox was now taking the fashion design exam, he was worried for Melody Fox.

In his opinion, Melody Fox should apply for the traditional medicine pharmaceutical major. In that major, no candidate could surpass Melody Fox.

However, when he saw the design Melody Fox had drawn, he immediately felt relieved.

Miss Fox was really… never disappointing.

With this standard, it was a pity to be a student. It was more than enough for her to be a teacher at the Fashion Design Academy.

The Fox people in the examination hall just now were actually lying when they said that they didn’t know anything about fashion design.

He did not dare to relax even for a day as he followed Mr. Ou. He had been filling himself up for Fox minutes.

As long as Mr. Ou’s business was involved in a

specialization, he would learn a little so that Fox could help Mr. Ou solve his problems.

When he saw that Melody Fox could complete such an outstanding design in such a short time, he no longer had any worries.

Outstanding, Miss Fox was simply too outstanding!

Only Mr. Ou could have such outstanding genes, right?

Mr. Ou was also an omnipotent person. Moreover, his brain was very good, and he had a photographic memory. He could learn things very quickly.

It would take him at least half a year to learn something, but Mr. Ou might learn it in a week and be proficient in it.

This was a talent, a talent that God only bestowed on geniuses.

And now, Miss Fox seemed to have displayed this talent.

Zuo Ye clenched his fists and thought even more seriously about how to get Melody Fox’s DNA without being suspected by her.

Every second ticked by.

After a small FoxFox, Melody Fox was the first to complete the cut.

The cut of the strapless dress seemed to be Janet Murphy, but it was actually a test of the tailor’s skills.

If he wanted to perfectly present the design on the blueprint, he had to be meticulous. Otherwise, it was very easy for the finished product to not be as stunning as the blueprint.

On the other hand, Melody Fox had almost replicated the design one by one. It was even more perfect and beautiful than the design.

“It’s so beautiful!” Lin Lin praised with shining eyes.

Melody Fox smiled. He did not feel proud at all when Lin Lin praised him.

Completing the cutting of the base material was only the most basic step.

Today’s theme was embroidery, so the embroidery after that was the most important. It would take up a large portion of the final score.

After the base was cut, Melody Fox did not immediately begin embroidery. Instead, she sutured another layer of pearl-colored gauze on the base.

In this way, it adds a bit of color to the originally too-plain base. It makes the monotonous white look no longer individual, and it’s extremely easy to stand out in the white.

Since it was a birthday banquet, the protagonist had to be the most dazzling among the group of people.

Moreover, the gauze she chose suited the theme in her heart very well: a bamboo forest under the lake light.

Lin Lin looked at the tube top dress that had been stitched up with pearl-colored gauze and could not help but clap in praise.

“Amazing, you’re simply too amazing! I didn’t even think of it…”

In fact, she was a little worried at first. Although the dress was beautiful, it was too plain.

It was naturally beautiful just by looking at it, but it was very easy to be suppressed by other people’s works.

Now that there was such a layer of material, it immediately became dazzling.

The ordinary white dress was no longer ordinary. Under the light, the white dress seemed to be illuminated by the lake’s light, shining brightly.

“I finally know how special your batch of special talents are. I’ve actually come into contact with many fashion designers who want to collaborate with me, as well as some students from the Fashion Design Academy. You’re the most creative designer I’ve ever seen!”

“Thank you…”

Melody Fox was about to thank him when he was interrupted by Pamela Clark-

“The two in front.”

Melody Fox turned his head and saw Pamela Clark saying as if he could not take it anymore, “This is the examination hall, not your own home. How can you let others work when you’re chattering?”

Chapter 1047

Faced with so many cameras, Pamela Clark originally wanted to endure it.

However, the model Melody Fox became more and more exaggerated as she spoke. She almost praised Melody Fox to the sky.

On the other hand, her own model was like a silent gourd. Not only did she not say a word, but she also had a long face. It was as if someone had died in her family. It was extremely unlucky.

The contrast between the two made Pamela Clark even more uncomfortable.

So she exploded.

Anyway, what she said was not wrong. No one could say anything about her.

This was the examination hall, not the outside. Which examination hall allowed people to speak so loudly?

“I hope the two of you can also consider others. Don’t be too selfish, okay? We all need a quiet environment, especially when there are candidates who haven’t even completed their designs. Aren’t you seriously disturbing their thoughts by shouting so loudly? Or is Miss Fox doing it on purpose so that others won’t be in the mood to take the exam?”

Pamela Clark started moral coercion as soon as he came up. He directly described Melody Fox and Lin Lin as villains who deliberately disturbed others’ exams.

Pamela Clark’s words made Lin Lin’s face turn green and red. She felt guilty and angry.

Melody Fox did not say much just now. She was the one who spoke.

However, the examinee in the back row said that Melody Fox was deliberately disturbing others. How could she feel comfortable?

Lin Lin wanted to explain that her voice was not loud at all. Moreover, the others were more or less communicating with their models. No one would be disturbed by the two of them.

She also wanted to defend Melody Fox. She was the one who spoke. Melody Fox had no intention of interfering with other people’s exams.

However, just as Lin Lin finished speaking, Melody Fox pulled his sleeve.

She subconsciously looked at Melody Fox and saw him shaking his head at her.

Helpless, Lin Lin could only swallow his words.

When Melody Fox saw that Lin Lin did not say anything else, he turned to apologize to Pamela Clark.

“I’m sorry, we didn’t do it on purpose. We’ll pay attention later.”

“Heh! It better not be on purpose! If you guys make any noise that disturbs others, I’ll have to report it to the teacher. Don’t blame me when it’s Fox.”

“Sorry, we’ll be as careful as we can.”

After Melody Fox finished speaking, he turned around and comforted Lin Lin with his eyes.

Pamela Clark did this because he felt unbalanced when he saw her chatting and laughing with Lin Lin.

Moreover, Pamela Clark was clearly deliberately stirring up trouble and using words to anger her.

If she really argued with Pamela Clark, she would fall into Pamela Clark’s trap.

Pamela Clark was now standing on the moral high ground. It would be wrong for him to say anything to Lin Lin. He might as well apologize directly and let the matter rest. Moreover, she was not in a hurry to deal with Pamela Clark.

The most important thing now was the gown.

Instead of competing with Pamela Clark.

“I’m sorry…” Lin Lin apologized to her.

Melody Fox smiled and shook his head to indicate that it was alright.

Lin Lin felt even more guilty. She wanted to wait until she walked the stage properly and worked hard to add points to Melody Fox.

Originally, Lin Lin had thought that she just had to do her job well. Anyway, as long as she came, she would get credits.

Whether her partner would be accepted or not had nothing to do with her.

But now, after Pamela Clark’s incident, she had unknowingly treated Melody Fox’s interests as her own. She wanted to work hard to do something for Melody Fox. When Pamela Clark saw that Melody Fox did not take the bait and was arguing with him, he lost interest.

She pursed her lips and refocused on her work.

In the examination hall, the atmosphere between the two parties became stiff after what had just happened. In the livestream,, two groups of netizens had their own opinions and quarreled.

At first, a group of people condemned Melody Fox and Lin Lin for not speaking so loudly. The bullet screen was filled with comments criticizing Melody Fox and Lin Lin.

But gradually, some different voices appeared.

“What’s going on? I don’t think the two ladies in the first row are talking very loudly. Is the one in the back row feeling that her work is not good and breaking her defense?”

“I also feel that the hostility in the comments is a little strong. It’s not just the two people in the first row who spoke. I saw that almost all the designers were communicating with their models. Why are they pointing at these two and scolding them? Is it because the works of this examinee in the first row look the most stunning?”

“I think it’s strange too. The examinees in the first row didn’t say much from the beginning to the end. If the examinees in the back row wanted to criticize her, they should be criticizing the models, right? Why did they say that she was maliciously interfering with others?”

As soon as the bullet screen appeared, Don Fox caused dissatisfaction among the first batch of people who defended Pamela Clark.

“What are you guys doing? Is it reasonable to disturb others? I think people like you are the ones who are loud in public, right? The Fox candidates need silence. This is common sense, okay?”

“That’s right! In this day and age, who’s the ugly one? The two people in the back row are better-looking than the ugly girl in the first row, right?”

The scolding battle quickly escalated into an attack on Melody Fox’s appearance.

Those who defended Melody Fox, and became even angrier.

“We’re just stating facts. How can you attack someone else’s looks? Don’t tell me all of you look like fairies?”

“Tsk tsk! Ugly female fans have broken through your defenses. Looks like you guys are also very ugly in reality, right?”

The bullet screen almost started fighting. The number of viewers in the live stream also soared to 200 thousand dollars.

Zuo Ye, who was sitting in the classroom next door, saw the scolding battle on the bullet screen, and obvious displeasure surfaced in his eyes.

“Director.” Zuo Ye turned his head and asked, “Is there a rule in your practical exam that you can’t speak?”

Principal Kong immediately shook his head.

“No, there’s no such rule. Moreover, the topic stipulates that the gown has to fit the model’s temperament, so it’s allowed to communicate with the model. There’s no such thing as not being able to speak.”

Zuo Ye raised his eyebrows and said, “Since the people on the bullet screen are so controversial about this matter, Dean Kong, please go to the examination hall and let the examinees know so that the concerns of those examinees who want to speak can be dispelled.”

“Aye, aye.”

“Dean Kong, go quickly!” The principal lowered his head and urged the dean to go over.

He could feel that Mr. Zuo seemed to be taking special care of the examinee in the first row.

However, it could also be a misunderstanding. After all, the comments were too noisy. The more they scolded, the more unbearable it became. They started to greet both parents.

If this continued, it would affect the reputation of Insterimond universities and Ou Jing.

Therefore, the principal quickly suppressed his speculation and thought that Zuo Ye was dissatisfied with the hostility on the bullet screen.

Under Zuo Ye’s instructions and the principal’s urging, the dean arrived at the examination hall without stopping.

Under Tang Sina’s puzzled gaze, the dean cleared his throat and said, “Candidates, let me emphasize again that the style of the gown you designed has to match the temperament of your partner model. Therefore, you can communicate with your models appropriately so that the finished product won’t be inconsistent with the model’s temperament and the final effect won’t be so good.”

Chapter 1048

Quong Poxue paused for a moment before adding, “In other words, under the condition that you don’t make too much noise, you can communicate with your partners. This is different from the theory test in the morning and the ordinary test, so you don’t have to worry too much about this.”

As soon as he said this, the examinees who had

deliberately suppressed their voices to communicate with their partners heaved a sigh of relief and began to boldly communicate with their partners.

Only then was Principal Kong satisfied. He turned around and left.

Pamela Clark stared at Quong Poxue’s back, and his expression clearly became uglier.

Why did the dean suddenly come over and say such words? Could it be for her to hear?

Could it be that the dean was protecting Melody Fox?

Impossible. How could Melody Fox be in contact with the director? If they knew each other, Tang Sina would not be on his side.

Pamela Clark’s mind was racing. Soon, he thought of Zuo Ye.

Could it be that Mr. Zuo thought that he was bullying Melody Fox through the live broadcast?

But that was impossible.

What kind of person was Mr. Zuo? He was a man of his word in the Oujing Group other than Orrick. It was impossible for him to specially ask the director to stand up for Melody Fox.

Even if Melody Fox had Ken Swanson as his backer, no matter how long Ken Swanson’s influence was, he couldn’t reach Ou Jing.

The only explanation was that the bullet screen had talked about her argument with Melody Fox. To maintain a good examination atmosphere, the dean had come to emphasize it.

Damn it, if she had known that she was allowed to speak, she would not have made a scene with Melody Fox.

Damn b*tch, her luck was really good!

Pamela Clark gritted her teeth and ignored what the director had just said about fitting the model’s temperament. She continued her suturing work.

Her gown was more complicated, so she needed to spend Fox more on tailoring than others. Therefore, Pamela Clark did not think too much about it and continued working seriously.

Similarly, Tang Sina was also wondering why Director Kong, who was about to retire, would care about such a small matter in the examination hall.

She did not know about the situation in the live broadcast room. As the invigilator and judge, she could not look at her phone. Hence, after thinking for a long time, Tang Sina suspected that someone in the examination hall might not have drawn the design according to the model’s temperament. The dean could not stand it and came over to explain the rules deliberately.

Tang Sina did not care about the lives of others.

In any case, the Fashion Design Academy had never been the most popular major at Insterimond University. There was no shortage of such talents.

However, Pamela Clark was different. She had given him more than 20 million yuan. If he could not get in and took it back, wouldn’t his efforts be in vain?

Therefore, Tang Sina purposely walked around in the exam. When she passed by Pamela Clark’s Fox, she glanced at Pamela Clark’s design.

Although Tang Sina had evil intentions and a sarcastic personality, as the leader of the teaching team, she still had professional knowledge.

Almost in the next second, Tang Sina realized that Pamela Clark’s design did not match her partner’s modeling style at all.

Before the exam, for Pamela Clark to be accepted, she specially chose a model with the most obvious

personal style and the best conditions in all aspects to be arranged for Pamela Clark.

In the end, the blueprint drawn by Pamela Clark… What the hell was that?

Making an elegant princess dress for a person who leans toward the hot European style??

This was as ridiculous as asking a black man to act as Princess Wilona.

Of course, she did not think that the black man was bad, nor did she think that Pamela Clark’s design was bad. It was just that the style was very different, and the effect would definitely be greatly reduced. Tang Sina frowned.

She wanted to remind Pamela Clark, but she was worried about the camera. After thinking about it, she could only say to the model closest to her, “Student, communicate more with your partner. This style… doesn’t suit you.”

Tang Sina said in a low voice and left quickly to avoid arousing suspicion.

Liu Susu stood rooted to the ground with a complicated expression.

As a model, how could she not know what style she was good at?

She had already warned Pamela Clark, but what about Pamela Clark?

Not only did he not listen to a single word she said, but he even turned around and said that she did not understand. He said that she was not capable and asked her to reflect. At first, she did reflect and even felt ashamed. But now, she firmly believed that Pamela Clark’s admission would not affect her anyway. Why should she care so much?

If he brought up the matter of not matching Pamela Clark’s style now, it would only be a thankless task. He might even be displeased again.

She was not going to do it.

Hence, after hesitating for a while, Susu ignored Tang Sina’s words and did not tell Pamela Clark anything.

Tang Sina naturally did not know about the small conflict between Susu and Pamela Clark. She only thought that after she told Susu, Pamela Clark would react and modify her design.

Hence, Tang Sina tried her best not to walk toward Pamela Clark after she told Susu that. She did not want to attract anyone’s attention.

Similarly to Fox, the online scolding war also entered a new point of contradiction. After the dean appeared, not only did the comments not decrease, but the difference in factions became even more obvious.

“Who exactly is that person in the first row? Even the dean of the academy stood up for her.”

“That’s right. It’s obvious that he specially came over for the matter just now just to prevent us from talking about the first candidate.”

“From the looks of it, this is the royal family! Since they’ve internally decided on the candidates, why do they need to arrange for an exam? Wouldn’t it be fine if they just accepted them directly?”

“What a waste of other people’s feelings! If they dare to choose the royal family, why would they dare to start a live broadcast? Aren’t they afraid of being criticized?”

“What I hate the most in my life is the royal family. This kind of

guy who got in through the back door better go to hell!”

“It’s not just the royal family. I think the director is her biological father! Is there any Internet expert who can help me investigate their relationship?”

Melody Fox’s defender naturally wouldn’t wait to be scolded.

“What royal family? I think you’ve broken through their defense! The dean personally came to say that communication is allowed, and that’s the rule. Yet, you’re making wild guesses about other people’s relationships.”

“If this young lady is from the royal family, why would they arrange for an ordinary-looking model for her? It would be logical to arrange for the most beautiful model in the second row.”

“They just broke through their defense. They saw that the words they were scolding just now were blocked by the dean’s words, so they started to slander him for being a member of the royal family.”

“That’s right. The young lady in the first row didn’t do anything, but you guys are accusing her one after another. What are your intentions?”

“You’re accusing me for no reason, attacking me with your looks, and now you’re from the veiled royal family. My heart aches for the examinees in the first row.”

The people standing on Pamela Clark’s side started scolding.

“You’re the ones who have ulterior motives. You’re jealous

of others because they’re beautiful, ugly girls!”

“That’s right. Those who help the first row must be very ugly. After all, they’re the same kind of people!”

Chapter 1049

The netizens who defended Melody Fox were furious. However, they did not have the advantage in numbers, so the comments were all scolding Melody Fox.

The netizens defending Melody Fox were even angrier when they saw the scoldings on the screen.

“Don’t you have any manners? You call people ugly the moment you open your mouth. So you’re all handsome men and beautiful women, right?”

“Anyway, I’m certain that the young lady in the first row will be accepted. Her design is the best in my opinion. If the final effect is similar to the design, she will definitely win!” Someone immediately retorted.

“I think her designs are very ordinary. If she was accepted, it must be a shady deal!”

“That’s right! It’s shady! The design of the young lady in the second row is truly beautiful. Anyone who wears such a gorgeous gown will be the protagonist. She will definitely surpass everyone at the birthday banquet. On the other hand, the one in the first row can’t be any more ordinary.” “Do you dare to bet? I bet that if there’s no shady deal, the person who will be admitted will definitely be the young lady in the second row and not the ugly girl in the first row.” “She’s ugly, and the gown she designed is also ugly. She still has the cheek to be a designer. Whoever dares to wear her clothes will become as ugly as her. I advise her to give up the exam early and change her career!”

The netizens who defended Melody Fox gritted their teeth and typed on the bullet screen.

“Bet! We’ll bet with you! If the girl who’s accepted isn’t from the first row, I’ll delete my account and never appear on this platform again!”

“I’ll bet too! I’ll bet that the girl in the first row will be admitted!”

The group of people made a bet one after another.

The netizens who defended Pamela Clark were naturally not to be outdone.

“If you want to bet, so be it. You’re the one who wanted to delete your account. Don’t cry and go back on your word when you reach Fox!”

“You’re the one who shouldn’t go back on your word. The clothes of the young lady in the first row are obviously more high-class and unique. Although the gown of the person in the second row is gorgeous, it doesn’t have anything to do with the style of a model. Moreover, there are too many gorgeous gowns like this. I’m tired of aesthetics.”

“Then let’s bet. At Fox, whoever doesn’t delete their account after losing will be a dog.”

“Let’s bet!”

Zuo Ye, who was sitting in the classroom next door, saw the bullet screen and his expression became even uglier.

Do these b*stards know who they are scolding? How dare they…

He had to get his subordinates to memorize these IDs. If they came to the company for an interview in the future, he would kick them out.

However, as the bet was established, the comments on the bullet screen decreased, and all of them made a bet.

Fox rooms ticked by.

The candidates entered the last embroidery stage one after another.

When Pamela Clark picked up the embroidery needle and embroidered the first pattern, it was quickly noticed by the judges on the scene.

“Look! Is that complicated embroidery?”

As soon as he said this, all the judges and many examinees looked at Pamela Clark.

Tang Sina immediately looked at Pamela Clark.

When she saw her embroidery technique, she was certain. that it was complicated embroidery. Her nervous heart relaxed a little, and a smile appeared on her lips.

As expected of the person she had chosen. He did not disappoint her.

Pamela Clark’s complicated embroidery technique almost crushed other ordinary embroidery candidates.

He did not know if Pamela Clark had learned it because he had revealed the questions.

However, this was not important at all. What was important was that Pamela Clark would definitely win!

“It’s really complicated embroidery! Our academy has a successor who knows complicated embroidery. Now, there’s another person who knows complicated embroidery. Tsk tsk, our academy will be in the limelight this year.” The live broadcast room was synchronized, so the audience naturally heard the teachers’ words.

A netizen asked in confusion, “What’s a complicated embroidery?”

The netizens standing on Pamela Clark’s side immediately burst out laughing.

“Hahahaha, you don’t even know about complicated embroidery, but you actually dare to make a bet? Complicated embroidery is one of the best embroidery techniques in the embroidery world! Legend has it that someone once embroidered a flower with complicated embroidery, attracting real butterflies.”

“Tsk tsk, the second row of girls really didn’t disappoint me. Ugly female fans, you can prepare to delete your accounts.” The netizen who asked the question said speechlessly, You guys are so vicious. I didn’t participate in any of your bets. Just based on what you said about me just now, I’m standing in the first row now.”

Melody Fox’s defenders burst into laughter.

“You’re ridiculous, cyber tyrants. You really flame every person you catch! You flamed the wrong person, right? Hahahaha!”

“Actually, I don’t care who gets accepted in the end, but you guys are too much. That’s why I’m standing in the first row.”

“You guys really know how to attract hatred. You went for wool and came home shorn, right?”

Pamela Clark’s netizens’ actions attracted the disgust of many neutral netizens.

In Room Fox, more and more netizens stood on Room Melody Fox’s side.

“An old lady near my house also knows complicated embroidery, so I’ve more or less seen some finished products of complicated embroidery. To be honest, although the young lady in the second row knows complicated embroidery, her technique is too stiff, as if she has just learned it. She’s not even as good as that old lady in her eighties.”

“Looks like those who are defending the second row of girls are going to delete their accounts!”

“Although I’m neutral and didn’t participate in the bet, to be fair, although the complicated embroidery of the young lady in the second row might add points, her technique is really a little stiff. It’s really uncertain who will win in the end.”

Pamela Clark’s defenders shot themselves in the foot and angered themselves.

They did not care what others said. They only insisted that Pamela Clark would definitely win.

“Halcyon, there are only a few people who really know how to embroider. There are less than a hundred of them in total. Don’t pretend to be neutral and say that you’ve seen people who know how to embroider.”

“That’s right. I think you’re all pseudo-neutral! I think she’s very good at embroidery. The patterns are complicated and three-dimensional.”

“A bunch of idiots who don’t know how to embroider. Don’t make me laugh! The young lady in the first row is so powerful. Why doesn’t she know how to embroider?”

“That’s right! Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the young lady in the second row is not that skilled in embroidery, just the fact that she knows complicated embroidery is enough to crush other examinees who don’t know complicated embroidery.”

“Hehe, no matter how awesome the first row is, I’m afraid they only know ordinary embroidery techniques, right?”

“They saw that the ladies in the second row knew how to embroider, so they broke through their defense. Brothers, don’t be led astray by them. They’re afraid, hahahaha…” Coincidentally, at this moment, the camera cuts to Melody Fox.

To arrange the pearl-colored gauze, she wanted the two layers of cloth to be as compatible as possible and show the effect of the lake’s luster. Hence, she delayed some Fox rooms and only started to prepare the embroidery now.

She did not know about the online scolding war, nor did she care about the situation on Pamela Clark’s side. After choosing the embroidery thread, she began to prepare for the first stitch…

Chapter 1050

The netizens’ gazes were immediately attracted.

“I want to see what kind of flower this ugly girl can embroider.”

“No matter how highly they praise her, I’m afraid she only knows ordinary embroidery techniques. Perhaps… she doesn’t know embroidery at all!”

“That’s right. Many designers only know how to design and don’t know how to make their own clothes. I saw that she was the first to draw the design, but she has only started embroidering now. She’s not skilled enough. She’s the kind of person who only knows how to talk on paper.”

The netizens standing on Melody Fox’s side did not say a word.

Although they had just vented their anger on the other party, they were still worried about Melody Fox and their accounts.

If Melody Fox lost to the examinees in the second row, they would really have to delete their accounts.

If he did not delete it, he would probably be mocked until he doubted his life.

At the same time, Zuo Ye, who was sitting in the classroom next door, also began to feel nervous.

He had never revealed his true emotions outside. His face still looked emotionless, but his tightly clenched fists still betrayed his true feelings.

In the early stages, as someone who knew about fashion design, he was sure that Melody Fox’s design was the most likely to get the highest score among them.

However, when he saw Pamela Clark showcasing her complicated embroidery technique, he could not help but feel uneasy.

It would probably be difficult for Melody Fox to defeat the candidate behind her now.

There was always someone better out there.

If Melody Fox lost, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

The camera was still on Melody Fox.

She held the embroidery needle but did not drop it for a

long time. She seemed to be petrified.

The netizens who had been waiting for a long time began to type on the bullet screen.

“Strange? Is the live broadcast stuck? Why isn’t she moving?”

“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter. The live broadcast wasn’t stuck at all. She was the one who was stuck.”

“What did I say? This ugly girl doesn’t know embroidery at all, right? I thought Fox was just saying. I didn’t expect her to really not know how to do it. She’s really useless!” “How did such a person get the qualifications to enroll special talents? Could she really be the dean’s biological daughter? In that case, wouldn’t it be internally decided that she would be accepted?”

“Let’s make it clear first. It’s not our loss if there’s a shady deal. Otherwise, we’ll be wronged!”

The fans who defended Melody Fox looked at Melody Fox, who was motionless. Seeing this, they were anxious.

It was at this moment that Fox, Melody Fox finally determined the location of the first needle.

Embroidery and acupuncture were actually similar. They both needed to be fast, accurate, and ruthless.

Her embroidery master had taught her Fox times. It meant that before the needle declined, she had to have a finished product in her mind before she could insert the first needle. Hence, she placed the first needle especially slowly.

Although her hand did not move, she had already imagined the final effect thousands of times in her mind.

It was not until the final effect had clearly appeared in her mind that her first needle finally landed.

After the first needle, it was followed by the second, third, and fourth…

She was so fast that it was as if someone had pressed the fast-forward button.

Moreover, this speed became faster and smoother as Fox hours passed.

It was so fast that the netizens could only see the

afterimage of her right hand through the live broadcast. It was obvious how fast she was!

Soon, in less than ten seconds, a bamboo leaf leaped onto the hem of her dress.

If it were the audience who had just entered, they would even mistakenly think that it was not embroidered, but a real bamboo leaf that had landed on the hem of the dress.

In Room Fox, the bullet screen in the live stream fell into a rare blank.

Melody Fox’s defender was the first to react. He said ecstatically, “Amazing! As expected of the person I’m protecting. He’s too awesome!”

“The people from the imperial family who covered her face can shut your stinky mouths. With such strength, why do you need to use the back door?”

The netizens standing on Pamela Clark’s side could not help but feel nervous.

However, they would not show weakness because of this. Instead, they spammed Melody Fox even more brainlessly.

“It’s just a bamboo leaf. Even an amateur like me can embroider such a Janet Murphy pattern, okay?”

“That’s right, that’s right. Why don’t you take a look at what the lady in the second row is embroidering? The pattern she’s embroidering is a classic pattern from the Middle Ages. It’s heavy and complicated. The difficulty level is completely higher than hers, okay?”

“This ugly girl is just embroidering randomly, okay? Did you see it clearly? She actually started embroidering from the back of the dress. I’ve never seen this kind of embroidery method. She’s definitely messing around.”

“I’m really laughing my head off, okay? How can you guys brag about a bunch of embroidery? How can you say such things? Are you worthy of your conscience?”

Right at this moment, an exclamation suddenly sounded in the live stream.

“Oh my god! Oh my god! That’s… that’s French embroidery!”

As soon as he said this, the entire examination hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

The person who said this was Ping Fox’s most unconcerned teacher.

He had always felt sorry for Melody Fox, so Fox would subconsciously pay attention to Melody Fox.

However, when he saw Melody Fox’s embroidery technique, he subconsciously exclaimed.

His words also attracted the attention of the other teachers.

“French embroidery? This is a rather complicated embroidery. Moreover, the last descendant seems to have died of illness a few years ago. She has no disciples or descendants, so French embroidery has long been lost. Are you seeing things?”

“It can’t be wrong! I’ve seen it in a documentary! That’s definitely French embroidery! If you don’t believe me, look at it yourself!”

Melody Fox was not disturbed by the outside world at all. He focused all his attention on his dress.

Therefore, when everyone looked at Fox, she happened to be embroidering the third bamboo leaf.

As the teacher looked at it, he said with even more certainty, “That’s French embroidery! French embroidery is an ancient embroidery technique that has been lost for thousands of years. Although it has long been lost, we’re Halcyon. There’s still someone who knows it. It’s just that I didn’t expect it to appear in our examination hall!”

At first, the other teachers did not believe it. Then, they were shocked and pleasantly surprised. Room Fox seemed to have forgotten about the examination hall. Almost all of them surrounded Room Melody Fox’s table.

“That’s right! That’s right! This is French embroidery! The most classic and unique thing about French embroidery is that it starts from the back. It’s very difficult!”

“Oh my god, in my lifetime, I actually saw someone embroidered in front of me with French embroidery techniques.”

“This is a dream that embroiderers can only dream of for the rest of their lives. Amazing, really amazing!”

“Where’s my phone? I want to record it!!!”

Tang Sina obviously did not believe it at first, but when she saw Melody Fox’s embroidery technique, her eyes widened instantly. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Chapter 1051

“It’s really… French embroidery.”

She muttered, but she was still unwilling to admit it.

If Melody Fox really used French embroidery, then what was Pamela Clark’s complicated embroidery?

Compared to French embroidery, the complicated embroidery that they had praised for a long time just now could not even compare to the fingers of French embroidery.

Moreover, this was a long-lost embroidery technique!

This also meant that Melody Fox was very likely to be the last person to know French embroidery in Halcyon. Her existence was already invaluable.

This was a priceless treasure, a true treasure.

Although complex embroidery was rare, many people had learned this technique in recent years, so its rarity was naturally incomparable to French embroidery.

Moreover, even if it was not rare, French embroidery itself was more skillful than complicated embroidery.

Moreover, it was said that complex embroidery was part of the technique of learning French embroidery.

Fox, the live stream was even more lively.

However, most of the people who spoke were on Melody Fox’s side.

“Who was the one who joked and lost his teeth just now? I’ll return these words to you word for word!”

“Who mocked us for being inexperienced? We’re not knowledgeable, but you’re knowledgeable? If you’re really knowledgeable, why would you say that French embroidery techniques are random?”

“Tsk tsk tsk, French embroidery. This is really an existence that can crush others. Moreover, the skills of the

examinees in the row are so skilled that the naked eye can’t capture her speed. The one in the second row can’t compare to her at all!”

“Hahahaha, it’s really ridiculous. I beg you, quickly search for French embroidery with me. After searching, you’ll know what it means to have someone in the sky and someone better.”

“You won’t win just because you know complicated embroidery, because there’s also French embroidery that can crush complicated embroidery.”

“I finally understand. The reason why that row of young ladies didn’t drop the needle was not because they didn’t know how to embroider, but because they were thinking about it. No wonder they were so fast and thought about it so clearly. They naturally dropped the needle faster.”

The people on Pamela Clark’s side were all silent.

At the examination venue.

Tang Sina’s expression changed again and again. Her originally red lips had almost lost all color.

Oh no…

Pamela Clark: Danger!

Fortunately, Tang Sina was still rational.

She stopped the teachers who wanted to take out their phones to record and said, “Everyone, calm down! This is the examination hall! Moreover, whether this is French embroidery or not, none of us has the right to evaluate it. After all, French embroidery has been lost for a long time. It’s impossible for children of this age to learn it out of thin air.”

Tang Sina’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured on the heads of the teachers.

That’s right. There were actually not many people who had seen French embroidery. The only teacher who knew about it through a documentary had not seen it with his own eyes. How could he be sure that this was French embroidery based on his little memory?

Tang Sina pulled the teachers over and whispered in a voice that could not be captured by the live broadcast.

Besides, don’t forget what I told you in the office. Even if it’s French embroidery, are you really going to give her high marks and let her come to our academy?

“Whether Fox will bring honor or scandal is still unknown! I advise everyone to be conservative! Don’t wait until Fox to get nothing. Not only will it be a mistake, but it will also cause a lot of trouble!”

As soon as he said this, the expressions of the teachers who were originally extremely excited by the French embroidery technique displayed by Melody Fox became complicated.

Tang Sina struck while the iron was hot and continued, “I know that some of you want to try and recruit people first because some of you are enthusiasts and collectors of French embroidery. But have you thought about it? Apart from being enthusiasts of French embroidery, you are also teachers at the University of Insterimond. As teachers, you have to consider the reputation of your studies and not selfishly decide according to your preferences.”

The teacher who first pointed out that Melody Fox’s embroidery method was French embroidery opened his mouth, but in the end, he could not help but say, “Teacher Tang, perhaps we can make her turn over a new leaf and stop doing those bad things in the past?”

“Haha.”

Tang Sina sneered and said, “Teacher Song, I know that you have almost bankrupted yourself to collect two French embroidery gowns because you like French embroidery, but the Teacher is not like you. If you insist, I have the right to suspect that you have selfish motives and ask you to leave the judging panel.”

Song San frowned. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Tang Sina seemed to be especially against candidate Melody Fox.

However, he didn’t think too deeply about it and only said, ” Teacher Tang, I admit that I’m indeed an enthusiast of French embroidery, but I don’t have any selfish motives for this examinee. On the contrary, because of what you said, I subconsciously look at her with a bad filter. But regardless of whether you admit it or not, this examinee is indeed extremely talented.”

“Alright, Teacher Song, you don’t have to say anything else. If you insist, I can only ask you to leave the judging panel. Think carefully before you speak.”

“Teacher Tang, I…”

The other teachers held Song San back and tried to persuade him.

“Alright, alright. Teacher Song, Teacher Tang, stop arguing. This student might bring some hidden dangers to the school. We indeed have to be more conservative.”

“That’s right. In my opinion, other than Melody Fox, the examinee in the second row behind her is not bad either. Since we can only accept one, it’s best to consider that examinee with excellent grades.”

“Yes, I agree. Teacher Song, it’s very rare for someone to know complicated embroidery techniques. Besides, aren’t we still not sure if she’s a French embroiderer? So don’t argue. Just watch in peace. It won’t be too late to decide when the final ready-made clothes are out.”

Song San had no choice but to grit his teeth and fall silent.

It was clearly their loss not to accept Melody Fox.

However, most teachers were on the opposite side of Melody Fox. They were afraid that her personal character would bring shame to her studies.

With his strength alone, he could not resist at all.

In his helplessness, Song San had to give up his

persistence, but there was an indescribable discomfort in his heart.

The exam was still ongoing.

Zuo Ye, who was sitting in the classroom next door, widened his eyes in disbelief.

French embroidery!

That was definitely French embroidery!

He had once spoken to the last female embroiderer who knew French embroidery. He had originally planned to work with her, but she had contracted a terminal illness.

After so many years, it was still unknown if he was dead or alive.

But what he was very sure of was that it was French embroidery.

He had personally seen that female embroiderer’s acupuncture technique, so he was extremely certain. However, he did not expect Melody Fox to know French embroidery!

Chapter 1052

Ever since the female embroiderer fell ill, he had always felt that it was a pity that he could not work with her one last time to launch the world-famous French embroidery gown.

Now, seeing Melody Fox display the embroidery method of French embroidery, the surprise in Zuo Ye’s heart was simply indescribable.

He had always known that Melody Fox was an outstanding person. However, the excellence she displayed now had completely exceeded his original expectations.

Treasure.

These two words suddenly popped up in Zuo Ye’s mind.

It was not too much to use the word “treasure” to describe Melody Fox.

Zuo Ye opened his mouth. He, who was a man of few words, suddenly said to the principal who had always wanted to talk to him but did not dare to disturb him, “Your school is really lucky to have such a person enter your school.”

The principal was stunned. He did not know who Zuo Ye was referring to.

However, he was still the principal. He quickly smiled and said, “Our Insterimond University has always been working hard to nurture outstanding talents for major companies. However, whether we can send them out depends on whether you business veterans will give us a chance.” Zuo Ye pursed his lips.

“If the students in your school are all so outstanding, it’s Ou Jing’s honor to be able to bring people out of your school.”

The principal was even more confused.

Who were they talking about?

Was he talking about the examinee in the first row or the examinee in the second row who knew complicated embroidery?

If he made the wrong choice, would it affect Zuo Ye’s opinion of their Insterimond University?

Between Fox and Fox, the principal suddenly felt that this matter had become a little tricky.

At the same time, the bullet screen in the live stream became lively again.

There was no other reason than Tang Sina’s words being transmitted into the livestream room.

Pamela Clark’s netizens went from aggrieved to arrogant again.

“Did you hear that? Did you hear that? These teachers from University Insterimond think that the ugly girl in the first row’s embroidery method is not French embroidery at all!” “I’m dying of laughter. French embroidery has disappeared for years. It hasn’t been seen in the market for a long time. Suddenly, such a person says that his embroidery is French embroidery. If this isn’t fraud, what is?”

“You’re still mocking us for being ignorant. The ones who are really ignorant are your ugly female defenders, right? Have you heard of the words ‘French embroidery’? In the end, her embroidery method is not French embroidery at all!”

“I was almost fooled by them. Let me tell you, don’t be smug too early. The people who will be accepted in the end will definitely be the two beautiful ladies in our second row.”

“You ugly defenders, stop insisting. Just delete your accounts to preserve your last bit of dignity. You’re bragging so much that it almost makes people believe you.”

Not to be outdone, Melody Fox’s defender retorted, “We couldn’t hear what that teacher said at all, okay? Anyway, what I heard was that she said that no one could be sure if it was French embroidery.”

“That’s right. If even that teacher can’t be sure, how can you be sure that she’s not French embroidery?”

“This acupuncture technique, even if it’s not French embroidery, it’s definitely better than the second row you’re protecting, okay?”

“Why don’t you open your eyes and take a look? With her stiff embroidery technique, so what if she’s embroidery? She clearly gives people the feeling that she just learned French embroidery today.”

Pamela Clark’s defenders did not look at the facts, but directly attacked.

“You’re anxious, you’re anxious. Break through the defense, ugly girls!”

“What else can you do other than attack with your looks? Ugly girls, your vocabulary is really lacking!”

“You’ve come to Fox and are even more knowledgeable than the teachers at Insterimond University. If others aren’t sure, you can directly discuss it with them.”

“I don’t want to argue with you. I’m just waiting for the final result!”

“You’re in the wrong. You can’t argue anymore, right? Hahahaha…”

The entire screen was filled with ridicule.

The defenders of Melody Fox were mostly speaking the truth. They were too lazy to compete with them for Fox qi. Their attention was focused on the examination hall again. The scene in the examination hall was randomly cut. Now, the camera happened to cut to Pamela Clark.

She frowned and focused on the embroidery in her hand.

The design that her father had given her was complicated and gorgeous. She was extremely busy.

If the ready-made clothes were not as good-looking as the design, it would negatively affect the final score.

However, with such a short production of Fox units, she felt that she was gradually losing her strength.

After thinking about it, Pamela Clark thought of a move. She put down the embroidery and walked back to the design. She simplified the complicated embroidery patterns according to her aesthetic taste. Then, she heaved a sigh of relief and went back to make clothes. Even so, the workload of the huge hemline was still very heavy.

Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her hands began to feel sore and numb. She was so busy that she wished she could use both her feet.

The way she modified the design made the audience in the live stream feel stunned.

The original design was incomparably gorgeous and beautiful, but after simplification by Pamela Clark, it became a little stiff.

The viewers in the livestream could see it clearly. Duan Fox started discussing again.

“What’s going on? Why did Room Fox go back to modify the design?”

“The workload is too great, and Fox rooms are too short. I guess she had no choice. However, the patterns she modified are too different from the original style, right? It’s as if it was originally a master’s work, but after modification, it feels like an apprentice’s work.”

“You anti-fans are so picky! Although the pattern is simplified, the princess dress still has its charm. It still crushes the other examinees.”

“Stop being sarcastic. I’ve always been neutral. I’ve never participated in your argument from the beginning to the end.”

However, Pamela Clark’s defenders did not listen to the netizen at all. As long as someone stood up and said that Pamela Clark’s revised design was not as agile as before, they would criticize him.

Gradually, everyone developed a negative impression of Pamela Clark’s work. They didn’t even bother to evaluate it.

Meanwhile, in the classroom, Tang Sina heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Pamela Clark modifying the design. She did not know that Pamela Clark’s partner did not pass the message to Pamela Clark. She thought that the model had passed the message to Pamela Clark, so Pamela Clark changed the design.

Moreover, it was unknown if it was deliberately arranged, but the later scenes no longer cut to the tabletop of either Pamela Clark or Melody Fox.

Even if the camera unintentionally switched, it would pass very quickly.

This method reduced the number of comments in the live stream.

Without the scolding battle, everyone was watching the live broadcast seriously.

Fox rooms flew past. Soon, it was Fox minutes away.

Tang Sina stood on the podium in the examination hall and cleared her throat. “Everyone, there are only five minutes left to make Fox rooms. Candidates, please pay attention to the Fox rooms in the examination. If you really can’t make it in time, you can simplify the embroidery pattern.”

Chapter 1053

As soon as Tang Sina finished speaking, almost all the examinees revealed panicked expressions.

“There are only five minutes left so soon… I still have more than half of the embroidery to finish.”

“Fortunately, I know my own standards. I knew I would definitely not make it in time, so I chose the most basic during the time I spent drawing the design. However, in this way, my ready-made clothes will definitely not be as good as yours…”

“I’ve just started embroidering. What should I do?”

“Boohoo, Fox rooms is too short. I can’t make it in time.”

When Tang Sina saw that everyone was getting anxious, she quickly comforted them.

“The Fox rooms of the three little Fox rooms are unlikely for you to make a perfect ready-made suit, so don’t feel too burdened. The Fox rooms are placed here, so we won’t be too harsh on the details. We will pay more attention to the overall situation. Of course, if the details are handled well, there will definitely be bonus points, but this is a bonus point, not a decision.”

“Moreover, everyone’s room Fox is the same. If you can’t make it in time, the others won’t be able to either, so don’t force it. Hurry up and wrap up the last five minutes in room Fox.”

“When Room Fox arrives, everyone must immediately put down the tools in their hands and leave your examination hall. Those who don’t leave Room Fox will be considered to have violated the rules, so you must pay attention to Room Fox.”

“At Fox at the last minute, I’ll remind you of room Fox.”

When everyone heard Tang Sina’s words, their anxious emotions calmed down a little.

Tang Sina was right. Room Fox was too short.

If people on the market wanted to make perfect heavy industry embroidery clothes, they would need at least Fox units a week.

Only an international master would be able to complete the expected production in a few small Fox units.

They could not be anxious. The most important thing was to complete it, not complete it perfectly.

But just as Fox, Melody Fox put down the embroidery needle in his hand.

As a person who carried silver needles with her daily, her speed was countless times faster than ordinary people.

Therefore, she completed the embroidery pattern identical to the one on her design five minutes in advance.

Moreover, the ready-made clothes were only more beautiful than the designs on the computer. It was even more breathtaking.

Her partner, Lin Lin, didn’t dare to speak casually and almost fell asleep.

It was not until Tang Sina’s words rang out that she suddenly came to her senses.

She turned around and saw that Melody Fox had already put down the embroidery needle. He looked calm and composed as he waited for Room Fox to end.

Lin Lin subconsciously looked at the others. She saw that everyone, including Pamela Clark, was still writing furiously… No, it should be said that they were working hard. Her admiration for Melody Fox increased even more.

“Have you finished embroidering everything?” Lin Lin asked in a low voice.

Melody Fox nodded. He was afraid that Pamela Clark would cause trouble again because of his voice, so he lowered his voice and said, “It’s all done. However, after you change your clothes, Fox, I wonder if you can put on some light makeup and tie your hair into a bun? The most simple kind will do.”

“Of course, no problem!” Lin Lin nodded vigorously. “I’ve already said that I’ll try my best to help you. I just don’t know what bun to tie up?”

Melody Fox thought for a moment and said, “As long as it’s the Janet Murphyth, just use a hairpin to tie your hair back. There’s no need to be too gorgeous. The colder and more classical the lineup, the better.”

“No problem! I’ll remember it. Coincidentally, I like to do this style of makeup. What a coincidence.”

Melody Fox smiled.

This was not a coincidence, but her design had followed Lin Lin’s style and temperament from the beginning.

Therefore, rather than calling it a coincidence, it was more like she had specially tailor-made it for Lin Lin.

In the blink of an eye, Fox minutes had passed. Tang Sina spoke again.

“There’s only one minute left in Room Fox. Candidates, please finish your work. If more than Fox students don’t put down their tools and leave the examination hall, it will be considered a violation of the rules. They will be dealt with with zero points.”

As soon as he said this, many people put down the tools in their hands in advance. Some took advantage of the last minute of Fox rooms to rush over. In the end, there were only a few seconds left for Fox rooms. They had no choice but to put down the tools in their hands.

Meanwhile, Pamela Clark finally put down the embroidery needle in his hand and quickly did a final check.

However, even if she simplified the design, the final effect was still inferior to the simplified design.

This could not be helped. The time was too short. There was no time left for embroidery, and there were less than two small Fox rooms.

So much so that she had actually only completed one-third of the effect of the simplified design.

However, Pamela Clark was already very satisfied with himself.

Just as Tang Sina had said, she could not make it in time, and neither could the others.

In other words, it was impossible for anyone to completely replicate the gown on the blueprint in such a short time.

“Number Fox has arrived. All candidates, please put down your tools and leave the examination hall immediately. Go to the academy’s conference hall and wait for the models to change their clothes for the final gown display.”

As soon as he finished speaking, no one dared to stay any longer. They left their seats and walked out of the classroom.

After Pamela Clark got up, he deliberately looked up at Melody Fox.

Coincidentally, Melody Fox’s model, Lin Lin, blocked her view.

She wanted Lin Lin to stand a little further away, but Tang Sina and the other teachers were all staring at the examination hall. Pamela Clark had no choice but to give up. He pursed his lips and left the examination hall in disdain.

Melody Fox followed the crowd out.

When she turned around, Lin Lin gave her a thumbs up.

She smiled and left the examination hall.

“Candidates, please move to the conference hall. This way.”

Song San was in charge of leading the examinees to the conference hall.

Melody Fox followed Song San’s instructions and walked forward. When she passed by Song San, Fox, Song San suddenly called her name.

Melody Fox stopped and looked at Song San in confusion.

She was sure that she did not know Song San at all. She did not know how he knew her name.

Melody Fox asked warily, “Teacher, what’s the matter?”

Song San wanted to say something but hesitated. There were some things that he did not know if he should say.

However, the people around him were in a mess. The other teachers were still in the examination hall, so he gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice, “Student Melody Fox, I want to ask, is your embroidery method French embroidery?”

Melody Fox saw that Song San did not have any ill intentions, and this question was not a secret, so she nodded calmly. “Yes.”

“It’s really…”

Song San’s eyes widened in surprise and joy.

He took a deep breath and said as he walked along the crowd, “Student Melody Fox, as a teacher, let me give you a piece of advice. A genius like you can’t be ruined by your own temper.”

“Personal temper? What do you mean?”

“That’s right, that’s right…” Song Sanyi didn’t know what to say. He only said, “In short, I can tell you that the other teachers don’t believe that you know French embroidery. You need to prove that your embroidery method is indeed French embroidery to break through all difficulties and become first place.”

Chapter 1054

After Song San finished speaking, he strode to the front and led the way.

“Students, go upstairs and walk to the right. The first room is there.”

Melody Fox looked at Song San who was walking at the front from afar. His thin brows furrowed in confusion as he thought about Song San’s seemingly inexplicable words.

“A genius like you can’t be ruined by your own temper.”

-You need to prove that your embroidery technique is indeed French embroidery to break through all difficulties and become first place.

She repeatedly thought about what Song San meant. As she walked up the stairs, she saw Pamela Clark’s back from the corner of her eye.

At this moment, she understood why Song San would suddenly say such words to her.

A person’s temper should correspond to their personal life.

Her personal life was straightforward, but that did not mean that others would not maliciously slander her.

Other than Pamela Clark, there was no one else.

She could even guess what Pamela Clark had said.

No wonder the moment she entered the examination hall, the teachers in the examination hall looked at her with

indescribable complexity.

Moreover, she had just started embroidering the first bamboo leaf at Fox PM when Tang Sina called all the teachers surrounding her over.

What Tang Sina would say was nothing more than adding fuel to the fire when Pamela Clark defamed her.

The teachers obviously believed Tang Sina’s words. After all, as the leader of the teaching team, there was no need to spread rumors about an examinee who was not their

student.

What was certain was that Tang Sina must have received a lot of benefits from Pamela Clark, and Jian Huan must have been involved.

As for the last sentence Song San said, “You need to prove that your embroidery method is indeed French embroidery to break through all difficulties and become first place.” It also corresponded to her guess just now. The difficulty was naturally those baseless rumors.

However, French embroidery had indeed disappeared for too long. It was normal for many people to not be sure if her embroidery method was French embroidery.

After thinking for two seconds, Melody Fox took out his phone and sent a message to a number that he had not contacted for a long time.

After sending the message, she walked into the meeting room.

There were also many cameras in the conference room. Obviously, the last step of the model’s appearance would be shown on the live broadcast.

This was the same as what she had instructed Spencer to pass on to Zuo Ye.

She actually didn’t want much. She just wanted fairness.

To be fair, the exams should not be held only at Insterimond universities but should involve a broader population.

As for Pamela Clark, Tang Sina, and the others, it was time for Fox to pay the price for their actions.

However, Melody Fox was a little worried that Ming Yiheng’s progress would not be good.

If that were the case, he would have to rely entirely on the live broadcast to maintain fairness.

In the end, she couldn’t be 100% sure who would laugh until the last moment.

In the examination hall.

Tang Sina was about to look at Melody Fox’s gown.

If the design of the gown was bad, she could easily wait for the judges to judge.

If the gown was better than Pamela Clark, then… she could only boldly do something to it.

It couldn’t be helped. Who asked Melody Fox to be more proficient in embroidery than Pamela Clark?

Regardless of whether it was French embroidery or not, Melody Fox’s stitches were indeed too exquisite.

She was too much of a threat to Pamela Clark.

Fortunately, after the examinees left the venue, the cameras were all turned off. As long as she was fast, no one would notice.

However, just as Tang Sina was about to reach Melody Fox’s seat, Fox, the dean of the School of Design suddenly appeared.

“All of you go to the conference room. The gown will be tidied up by Ou Jing and handed over to the models.”

Tang Sina was stunned. She did not expect the dean to show up for this segment.

She subconsciously blurted out, “Director, I can do this. There’s no need to trouble others.”

The dean frowned unhappily and said, “Others? Ou Jing is not someone else! No student in our academy has ever entered Ou Jing to work. It’s rare to have such a great opportunity, so we must pay attention to it! In short, everything must be done according to Ou Jing’s arrangements. Leave immediately!”

Tang Sina was unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity to destroy the gown.

She gritted her teeth and said, “Director, let the other teachers leave. Shall I stay and help?”

However, the director waved his hand without thinking and said, “No need! Mr. Zuo said that in order to be fair at the end, it’s best for you judges to see the appearance of the gown before the model shows it, so as not to affect your final first impression.”

After the dean finished speaking, he added, “However, you can stay and help if you want, but you have to give up on the judging.”

Tang Sina looked up abruptly.

“This won’t do…”

If she gave up on being a judge, who knew how those guys who were dazzled by Melody Fox’s embroidery would grade her?

“If you want to be a judge, leave. Don’t say anything else.”

After saying that, the director chased him away.

Tang Sina thought quickly in her heart, but she still left unwillingly.

She couldn’t be a judge, so she could only give up on tampering with Melody Fox’s gown.

He could only hope that… the effect of Melody Fox’s gown would not be as good.

After all, there were only Fox rooms. She couldn’t repair all the bamboo leaves so perfectly.

Moreover, so what if it was perfect?

As long as she was a judge, she could still influence the score of Melody Fox.

After making up her mind, Tang Sina did not panic anymore. She followed the other teachers out of the examination hall.

Just as she walked out of the examination hall, Zuo Ye’s subordinates rushed in and almost knocked Tang Sina down.

However, the other party was Ou Jing’s man. Even if she really fell, she could not do anything. Hence, she could only rub her painful shoulder and leave.

The models were all left behind.

Each of them had a gown designed and made by their partner.

Lin Lin held the gown made by Melody Fox, her heart almost flying out of her throat from excitement.

She was overwhelmed with emotions just by looking at this gown.

She swore that she had never seen such a beautiful gown in her life.

“Alright, everyone, you can start changing. The curtains are all drawn and the cameras are all turned off. You don’t have to worry about your privacy leaking. Our people will be guarding the door, so you don’t have to worry about a male breaking in. Now, start changing.”

After the Ou Jing employees who were leading the team left, the serious atmosphere eased.

The models were all from the same school, so they all knew each other.

Soon, someone noticed the clothes in Lin Lin’s hand.

“Lin Lin, isn’t this gown too beautiful? It looks like you’re going to be the first partner.”

“Wow, it’s really beautiful. It’s like… like a gorgeous gown that can only be seen at an international show. You’ve earned it, Lin Lin.”

Pamela Clark’s partner, Susu, also looked up to Lin Lin.

Chapter 1055

Susu looked up and saw Lin Lin holding a beautiful gown in his hand. The cold luster of the gown almost dazzled her eyes.

“It’s so beautiful…”

Susu walked forward in surprise and said enviously, “Lin Lin, you’re so lucky to be matched with such a partner.”

When Lin Lin saw Hua Susu coming over, he immediately lowered his posture to the lowest.

“I’m nothing but lucky, unlike you. You’re beautiful and tall. You look good in anything.”

When Susu heard this, she shook her head and smiled bitterly. “It’s not like that. My personal style is too obvious. Not every dress looks good on me… Just like my gown… Sigh, forget it. It’s useless to say more. They only gave us Fox rooms in ten minutes. Let’s quickly change into our gowns.”

“Uh-uh.”

Lin Lin wasn’t sure if Susu was a friend or foe. After all, Pamela Clark’s hostility was too great. Moreover, Susu was Pamela Clark’s partner.

Hence, she did not dare to communicate with him

anymore. She walked to the corner and started to change into her gown.

Although the gown was made of three small Fox speeds, it was more high-class and beautiful than all the gowns she had seen. Therefore, Lin Lin was very careful during the entire process of change.

After finally changing into the gown, she did not even check her room Fox before quickly starting to tie her hair.

Lin Lin usually liked to wear this kind of classical hairstyle, so Fox rooms in ten minutes were enough.

When everything was ready, Lin Lin turned around and

saw that although Susu had changed into a gown, her hair was still the same as before. She didn’t even touch up her makeup and looked ready.

She couldn’t help but be curious. She couldn’t help but walk forward and ask, “Susu, aren’t you going to comb your hair?”

“No, it’s meaningless,” Susu said indifferently. “Anyway, whether they are admitted or not has nothing to do with us. Why waste so much effort?”

Lin Lin was even more puzzled when he saw Susu’s self-destructive look.

However, when he recalled Pamela Clark’s high and mighty attitude, he roughly understood the reason.

It seemed that the examinee in the back row of Melody Fox and she had offended Susu.

Could that examinee not tell that Susu was the proudest among their group of models?

It was fine if he didn’t treat her well, but why did he offend her?

However, this was a good thing for her and Melody Fox.

Therefore, Lin Lin didn’t say a word to persuade her. She quickly and carefully tidied her makeup one last time and didn’t care about Susu anymore.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

There was a knock on the door.

“Models, are you all done changing? If you are, come out and line up.”

The group of people left the examination hall one after another and followed the leading Ou Jing employee upstairs. They entered the backstage through the back door of the classroom.

This also directly caused the audience in the live stream and the judges to not be able to see their appearances before they went on stage.

There was a stage in the conference room. Below the stage were rows of stairs, and each step had 20 seats.

Zuo Ye, the principal, and the dean of the Fashion Design Academy sat in the first row.

All the judges sat in the second row.

The examinees all sat down on their own.

Melody Fox chose an inconspicuous seat and sat down.

However, as soon as she sat down, a familiar figure sat beside her.

The person sitting beside her was none other than Pamela Clark.

Melody Fox raised his eyebrows noncommittally and treated Pamela Clark as air.

However, the “air” wrapped around him.

“I heard that… your embroidery technique is French embroidery?”

Melody Fox did not say anything and continued to treat Pamela Clark as air.

At this point, she did not want to waste her breath on Pamela Clark anymore.

Pamela Clark did not have any self-awareness. He suddenly sneered and said, “It’s okay if you don’t speak. I know everything.

‘How could you possibly know French embroidery? It’s been lost for years!

“Moreover, I also know that the last descendant fell seriously ill a few years ago and died of illness. She had no children or disciples, so French embroidery was lost at Fox.

“However, I heard that there are a few experts who specialize in French embroidery. One of them happens to be a professor at the University of Insterimond. He only needs to take a look to know if your embroidery method is French embroidery or not.

If you want to get away with it, stop dreaming.

There’s a saying that the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. I’ll give this to you.”

Silence.

Melody Fox replied to Pamela Clark with silence.

Pamela Clark’s eyes were filled with impatience.

“What do you mean by pretending to be mute? Are you afraid? Or are you feeling guilty?”

Melody Fox dug his ears and continued to stare at the stage without blinking.

“You-“

Pamela Clark gritted her teeth and was about to curse when she suddenly remembered that there were countless cameras in the auditorium. Hence, she could only suppress her anger and turn to look at the stage.

“Melody Fox, it’s alright if you don’t speak. I’ll be able to see her embarrassment very soon.”

She had several conflicts with Melody Fox, and Melody Fox always had the upper hand.

However, it was different this time. This time, she would definitely be the one who had the last laugh, not this ugly freak!

At Fox, Ou Jing’s employees led the team and walked onto the stage from the backstage.

He held the microphone and said, “Everyone, the order of the models’ presentation will be according to the candidates’ admission ticket numbers. After the models go on stage, please announce your partner’s number and name. Next… the final product display will begin!”

The admission number was given according to the order of registration.

Therefore, if her estimation was not wrong, she should be the last to be displayed.

The last one, to put it nicely, was the finale.

However, in the face of such a scoring system, the last person to appear was actually at a disadvantage. The first person to appear actually had the upper hand.

Similarly, Fox’s live stream, which had been cut off for more than ten minutes, started again.

Many people had been waiting for the final show. Therefore, as soon as the live stream started, more than 100,000 viewers were used up, and the number of viewers continued to increase rapidly.

The bullet screen instantly filled the entire live stream.

“It’s starting. The exciting Fox minutes have finally arrived!”

“Hahahaha, ugly female fans, Room Fox where you deleted your account has entered the reverse count of Fox. Are you panicking?”

“It’s still not certain who will win or lose. You guys were complacent too early so that you won’t be slapped in the face until Fox.”

“The only possibility for us to lose is that the ugly girl is a member of the royal family. It’s internally decided.”

“I’m dying of laughter. If we win, there’s an inside story. If we lose, we deserve it. How can such a good thing be monopolized by you? A row of young ladies will definitely use their strength to slap your faces ruthlessly. At Fox, they won’t recognize you!”

“Don’t worry. If her work is really more stunning than the young lady in the second row, we will definitely delete our accounts immediately.”

“Very good. Please do as you say.”

Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 1036, 1037, 1038, 1039, 1040, 1041, 1042, 1043, 1044, 1045) 

Chapter 1036

Pamela Clark shook her head and said with a long face, “No, I passed. And I passed with the second-highest score.”

Jian Huan observed Pamela Clark’s expression and said, Then with your expression… Could it be that Melody Fox has also passed?”

“Mhm.” Pamela Clark nodded, his expression turning even uglier.

However, when Jian Huan heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“You scared me. I thought something big had happened. I didn’t expect you to come over because of this. I thought something unexpected had happened.”

As Jian Huan spoke, she patted Pamela Clark’s shoulder encouragingly and continued, “That woman is full of tricks. It’s only reasonable that she can pass the next round. You don’t have to be too nervous. You’ve already gotten second place in the morning. We’ve also greeted Teacher Tang. You’ll definitely be the one who gets accepted in the end. Just relax and perform normally in the afternoon.”

“No… Sister Huan.”

Pamela Clark was on the verge of tears. He said with a heavy sobbing tone, “Not only did that slut Melody Fox enter the next round of exams, but she also entered the next round with first place. She’s in first place! Sister Huan!”

“What did you say?!” Jian Huan’s eyes widened and her voice instantly rose, scaring Pamela Clark.

She quickly paced around the room several times and frowned to confirm again. “Is she really the first place? Are you sure?

Pamela Clark shook her head. “I’m not wrong. I can’t be wrong about this kind of thing. I don’t believe it either, so I confirmed it several times. The full score on the paper was 100 points. She scored 99 points, while I only scored 92 points… The difference of 7 points is a little too big. She’s very likely to be the last person to be admitted. Sister Huan, what do you think we should do now?”

Jian Huan clenched her fists tightly.

Whether Pamela Clark was first or not was not important to her at all.

But now, the first place has become Melody Fox. This matter became important.

Pamela Clark looked at Jian Huan walking around the room and could not help but say, “Sister Huan, we’re now…”

“Shh!”

Jian Huan made a shushing gesture and said, “Don’t speak! I’ll think about what to do.”

“Yes, yes!” Pamela Clark nodded, not daring to disturb Jian Huan.

Two minutes later, Jian Huan asked, “How long until the afternoon exam?”

Pamela Clark looked around the room and said, “The exam is at 2:30. There are still 50 minutes left.”

“Very good, there should still be time. Let’s go and see Teacher Tang.”

“Huh? What’s the use of seeing Teacher Tang?”

“Let’s first confirm if there’s a problem with the results or if she cheated. If it’s neither, and she really relied on her ability, then we can only add more chips and make Teacher Tang biased toward you.”

“Is it… giving Teacher Tang some more money?”

“Of course! How much liquidity do you have on you now?” “Let me see… there’s still more than 20 million left.”

“It’s enough. We’ve already given her 400 thousand dollars at noon. If we give her 4 million dollars now, we’ll definitely be able to feed her. After all, she’s just a teacher. She won’t be able to earn so much money in her life. Just take out 4 million dollars and transfer it to her account.”

“Now?”

“Nonsense! What else, unless you want to drag it out for? Is it too late for you to transfer after she’s accepted?”

$ 4 million was not a small sum considering her current salary.

Moreover, before this, your Father had already spent a lot of money on the exam.

Pamela Clark was silent for two seconds. In the end, she gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, directly transferring 4 million dollars to Teacher Tang.

Not long after the sum of money entered the professor’s account, Jian Huan received a call from Teacher Tang.

Tang Sina’s hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Miss Murphy, I…”

Jian Huan knew what Tang Sina wanted to ask. She said directly, “That’s right, it’s us. Teacher Tang, do you have free time to see us again?”

Tang Sina was silent for two seconds before she said, “I’m in my office. It’s the last room on the second floor of the teachers’ building. Come over now.”

“Okay, I’ll see you later.”

Jian Huan hung up the phone and rushed to find Tang Sina with Pamela Clark.

Tang Sina was the leader of the fashion design teachers, so she had an independent office. She said that it was very convenient.

Jian Huan went straight to the point.

“The student who got first place, we wanted to check if her results were wrong or if she cheated…”

Tang Sina nodded in agreement almost immediately. “Alright, I’ll check it out now. Wait for me here for a while.”

Before long, Tang Sina returned.

She said with a complicated expression, “I really didn’t expect that woman to get first place…”

She originally thought that Melody Fox was just here to make up the numbers, but the truth was that she was a truly talented candidate.

At least in the theoretical exam, none of the candidates were her match.

Jian Huan observed the expression on Tang Sina’s face and asked, “You mean…?”

“She didn’t cheat, but her results are a little problematic.”

Jian Huan and Pamela Clark’s eyes immediately lit up.

Pamela Clark said, “I knew it! How can a student from a lousy university like her surpass me?!”

However, the next second, Tang Sina smiled bitterly and said, “You’ve misunderstood me.”

The two of them looked at Tang Sina in shock.

Tang Sina said, “Your paper was approved by a few of us, but her paper was passed to each of us. The reason is that she answered the last question too perfectly. Some teachers think that we should give her full marks, but some think that there’s no precedent for this kind of question, so we shouldn’t give her full marks. You know the final result. We deducted one point for her. Otherwise, she should have gotten full marks.”

Pamela Clark instantly froze on the spot. Her mind turned blank at this moment, and only Tang Sina’s words echoed repeatedly.

“We forcefully deducted one point for her. Otherwise, she should have gotten full marks.”

‘So…’

It meant that not only was Melody Fox’s result not a problem, but it was also one point lower than her true standard!

A village girl who graduated from a lousy university has completely crushed her in strength.

Jealousy, anger, breakdown, unwillingness, all sorts of emotions were entangled in Pamela Clark’s heart.

Pamela Clark felt the world spinning around her. She might have collapsed to the ground if not for the table behind her.

Jian Huan’s expression was also extremely ugly, but she was slightly calmer than Pamela Clark.

“Teacher Tang…” Jian Huan deliberated over her words and said, “My friend Pamela Clark is the successor of the Clark Group. You should have heard of the Clark Group. She’s an outstanding figure in the fashion industry. If you can help her this time, no matter what needs you have in the future, their family will try their best to satisfy them. So, please help her.”

After saying that, Jian Huan gave Pamela Clark a meaningful look.

Only then did Pamela Clark snap out of her jealousy and resentment.

She immediately said to Tang Sina, “Teacher Tang, please give me a chance! Costume design not only requires talent but also real money and background to build up fame. If Insterimond University recruits a poor village girl like Melody Fox, it will be a waste of a spot.”

Chapter 1037

“You said… she’s a poor village girl?”

Tang Sina, who was originally prepared to return the money Pamela Clark had given her because of the talent Melody Fox had displayed, hesitated when she heard this.

After all, the fashion design industry was indeed different from other industries. It was indeed similar to what Pamela Clark had said.

If one only relied on talent, one would be buried very quickly. After all, a person’s design inspiration was limited, and so was their opportunity.

However, with the accumulation of money, it was easy to stand out in the entire fashion industry.

Compared to a poor village girl, it was definitely Pamela Clark, the successor of the Clark Group, who was more likely to contribute to the reputation of Insterimond University.

“That’s right!” Pamela Clark did not mention the relationship between Melody Fox and Ken Swanson. She only said, “She was abandoned by her family in the countryside since she was young. She only returned to Silverlake this year. Even if she’s talented, her vision and Fox are definitely inferior to other candidates. Moreover, even if it’s for the future of the Fashion Design Academy, you can’t let someone like her enter.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It seems like you don’t know that her private life is very indecent… Although she’s ugly, she has many foxy tricks up her sleeve. Not only did she almost snatch her sister’s fiancé away, but she also hooked up with my crush. If such an improper person enters the University of Insterimond, it will only smear the school’s reputation. Have you forgotten? She has already displayed an arrogant appearance in the examination hall.”

Tang Sina immediately thought of how rude Melody Fox was to her and how arrogant she was when she didn’t listen to her reminder and handed in her paper in advance.

She frowned and said, “Are you telling the truth? You’re not lying to me?”

Pamela Clark nodded vigorously.

“You can ask any local socialite about these things.”

Tang Sina was silent for a while before she said, “Alright, you guys go first. I’ll think about it.”

“Tang… was in deep thought.”

Pamela Clark wanted to continue, but she was stopped by Jian Huan’s gaze.

Jian Huan tugged at the corner of Pamela Clark’s shirt and said to Tang Sina, “Then, Teacher Tang, think about it carefully. We won’t disturb you anymore.”

“Yeah.”

Jian Huan nodded and dragged Pamela Clark out.

When they were a distance away from the office, Pamela Clark finally could not help but ask, “Sister Huan, why don’t you let me continue? She hasn’t agreed to us yet.”

“Idiot!” Jian Huan glared at Pamela Clark and said, “She has already wavered. If you continue to say it, it might have the opposite effect.”

“Then, are you sure that she will help me in the end?”

Jian Huan looked in the direction of the office and said, Yes. No one will go against money. What you said and the money you transferred to her are enough for her to make up her mind. Just wait and see! She’ll give us an answer soon.”

“Fine.”

In the office.

After the two of them left, Tang Sina quickly found a student she used to take care of in her contact list.

This student was also a local socialite from Silverlake, but she had already graduated last year.

The call was quickly connected. Tang Sina went straight to the point and explained the meaning of the call. Then, she asked about Melody Fox’s private life.

“Melody Fox? So you’re talking about that ugly country bumpkin?”

Tang Sina was stunned for a moment before she said, ” That’s right, it’s her.”

“Her… reputation is indeed very bad. Her half-sister is my friend. Not only does she always bully her sister, but she also snatches her sister’s engagement. I advise you to think twice about such a student. Otherwise, you might regret inviting her in.”

“Is that so?”

“I can’t lie to you, Teacher Tang. This woman might be ugly, but she’s good at provoking men!

Moreover, she had a strange personality and looked down on everyone. She was famous in Silverlake, but this kind of fame was infamous.

“I’m afraid it’s all thanks to some man that she was able to get the exam qualifications this time. Don’t be fooled by her appearance. As the saying goes, looks come from the heart. Her heart is as ugly as her face!”

Tang Sina was silent for a while before she said, “Alright, I understand. I will never let such a person enter our Insterimond University. At least, she can forget about entering my major.”

“Yes, yes. You have to be careful. This woman is good at pretending. She’s completely different in front of everyone.”

“I understand. Thank you for your reminder.”

“It’s what I should do. Teacher Tang, you’re too polite.”

The call ended.

The socialite on the other end of the line waved the phone in her hand and said to Mabel Fox, who was sitting opposite her, “Did you hear that? Your sister is really not an ordinary person. She actually obtained the qualifications to participate in the special talent enrollment of Insterimond University. Fortunately, Teacher Tang called me. Otherwise, her educational qualifications might be better than yours in the future.”

Mabel Fox revealed an extremely grateful smile.

“Thank you for speaking up for me, Le Qing. There are a lot of rumors outside now, especially after my mother was framed. Many people are no longer willing to drink tea with me in the afternoon. Only you trust me as always.”

The woman named Le Qing held Mabel Fox’s hand comfortingly and said, “How can others compare to our friendship? We grew up in the same neighborhood. If I didn’t believe in you and Auntie’s character, I wouldn’t be your friend. It’s just that I happened to be traveling around the world a while ago and couldn’t be by your side at anytime.” Mabel Fox shook her head, tears glistening in her eyes. “I’m already satisfied that you can accompany me now. At least I still have you as a friend. I’m not completely alone.” Le Qing tightened her grip on Mabel Fox’s hand and said, Don’t worry. I’ll help you clarify for those who misunderstood you. They’re just a bunch of fence-sitters with nothing better to do. It won’t be difficult to get them back on track. Mabel Fox revealed an even more grateful expression. However, she then lowered her eyes and said, “However, if Sister got in through her own efforts, I have nothing to say. If this teacher of yours calls you again, don’t interfere with her normal exams.”

Tsk! How is it possible for a country bumpkin like her? If she were really that smart, she wouldn’t have only gone to a lousy university in the past.”

As Le Qing spoke, she frowned and educated Mabel Fox.

“Mabel, you’re too kind. That’s why you’re bullied by a country bumpkin. You’re so smart. Why don’t you understand the principle of being bullied?”

Mabel Fox’s eyes turned even redder.

“No matter what, she’s still my sister.”

Le Qing shook her head.

“You, you, I really don’t know what to say about you. Forget it, let’s not talk about those unlucky things. I just got home.

Tonight, my family will hold a welcoming banquet for me. I have to go home and prepare. You have to come! I want to help you clear your name. You’re not the kind of person they say you are, and Auntie is not either.”

“Yes, I’ll definitely come. Thank you, Leqing.”

“There’s no need to thank me between us!”

Le Qing stood up and waved at Mabel Fox as she spoke.

“That’s all for now. See you tonight!”

“Yeah, see you tonight.”

Mabel Fox smiled and watched Le Qing leave.

However, as soon as the woman walked out of the cafe, the smile on Mabel Fox’s face instantly disappeared.

Chapter 1038

The smile disappeared along with the innocent and pitiful expression on her face.

Fortunately…

Fortunately, Le Qing had invited her here for coffee today, and she happened to exaggerate what happened after Melody Fox returned to Silverlake.

Otherwise, if Le Qing put in a good word for Melody Fox, her academic qualifications might really be better than hers. She entered the University of Silverlake as an art student. Although University Silverlake was also a first-class university, it was still a grade lower than the University of Insterimond.

If Le Qing had not looked for her today, Melody Fox might have been admitted to Insterimond University. She felt as uncomfortable as if countless ants were crawling all over her body.

Mabel Fox took a deep breath. She was in no hurry to leave. Instead, she sat back down.

She pushed away the coffee in front of her and asked the clerk for a glass of iced lemonade.

The taste was cold and sour. It was more refreshing than coffee.

As she drank, she thought about how to get closer to Le Qing.

Le Qing lived in the same neighborhood as her, and the two of them had played together since they were young.

Compared to Pamela Clark, Le Qing was her true best friend.

Moreover, Le Qing’s mother was in business and her father was in politics. The Le Family’s status was not something Pamela Clark could compare to at all. Moreover, they maintained a good relationship with the Swanson family all year round.

After Mabel Fox found out that Yolanda Fox was a third party, she began to work hard to build a relationship with Le Qing so that her reputation would not be ruined one day and she would not be pushed around by everyone.

After thinking about it, Mabel Fox decided to spend a huge sum of money to buy Le Qing a limited edition Hermes bag as a gift for tonight’s banquet.

She didn’t waste any more time and took a taxi to the highest mall in Silverlake to buy a bag.

On the other side, after Tang Sina hung up the phone, she could not help but look at the balance on the card.

The long string of numbers almost blinded Tang Sina.

Her student’s words made her firmly believe that she could never be accepted!

At the very least, Melody Fox could not be accepted into her major. Only Pamela Clark could be accepted.

As the team leader, she still had this privilege.

Tang Sina clenched her fists. After thinking for a while, she dialed Jian Huan’s number again.

“Hello, is Miss Murphy, Miss Clark beside you? Please give her the phone.”

After the person on the other end of the line picked up, Tang Sina lowered her voice and went straight to the point. Miss Clark, listen carefully. The content of the practical examination in the afternoon is the birthday banquet gown. It mainly tests the embroidery technique. There is still enough time left for you to practice and to prepare. If you don’t know enough about embroidery, quickly learn the technique now. I believe your family should have the connection to find an embroidery master to teach you a quick method.”

Pamela Clark could not hide the excitement in her voice.

“Yes, I understand. Thank you, Teacher Tang!”

“There’s no need. Hurry up and go.”

After the call ended, Pamela Clark said to Jian Huan excitedly, “Teacher Tang really chose me. She told me the topic and asked me to quickly strengthen my embroidery skills.”

Jian Huan had expected this.

However, after hearing Pamela Clark’s words, an invisible boulder fell to the ground.

“That’s good. Don’t waste time. Hurry up and ask your father to find someone.”

“Yes!”

Pamela Clark picked up her phone and began to contact her father.

“Dad, there’s an emergency. I need your help.”

In the office.

Tang Sina hung up the phone. Her heart was beating very fast.

She had leaked the questions. It was a very serious violation of the rules. If others found out…

She did not dare to think about the consequences.

However, whether it was for the $20 million that Pamela Clark gave her or to prevent their academy’s reputation from being ruined by people like Melody Fox, she had to do this.

Yes, that’s right. She did it for the academy, not just for herself.

Tang Sina found a dignified excuse for her greed and selfishness.

She did not rest. Instead, she gathered the teachers in charge of the afternoon examination.

As soon as the teachers entered, they started discussing Melody Fox, who had displayed extraordinary talent in the morning theoretical exam.

“This student is really extraordinary. Not only does she have strong theoretical knowledge, but her design talent is also superb.”

“That’s right, that’s right! I still regret not giving her full marks for the last question that tested her talent and design sense.”

“By the way, what’s this student’s name again? Which one of you is in charge of tabulating the scores? Those who are tabulating the scores should know her name.”

Tang Sina massaged her temples and said, “Don’t ask anymore. I’m in charge of tabulating the scores.”

Everyone looked at Tang Sina, who had an ugly expression on her face. They could not help but ask, “Team Leader Tang, did something happen?”

“That’s right, Team Leader Tang. We’ve been here for so long, but you haven’t told us why you called us here.”

Tang Sina rolled her eyes in her heart.

She wanted to say it, but could she interrupt?

Tang Sina took a deep breath and said, “I called everyone here to talk about the first place.”

Upon hearing that it was related to the first place, everyone’s relaxed attitude immediately turned solemn.

Even Ping, the most unconcerned teacher straightened his back and looked at her energetically.

Tang Sina felt a little uncomfortable. Everyone valued Melody Fox more than she had imagined.

Fortunately, she remembered to inform these teachers in advance. Otherwise, when she years older, she would be a little weak and easily arouse the suspicion from others.

“Ahem.” Tang Sina cleared her throat and said, “The name of the first place is Melody Fox.”

“Melody Fox? That’s a good name!”

“Pu Shenyan Melody. Her name is very similar to her design style. There’s an indescribable ethereal loneliness.”

Tang Sina’s frown deepened.

“Guys, listen to me.”

Only then did everyone quiet down.

Tang Sina continued, “I’m the same as you guys. I’m very concerned about this first place. Therefore, after knowing her identity, I went the extra mile to check some of her information. Unfortunately, what we found disappointed me.”

“Disappointed? What does that mean?”

Tang Sina organized her words in her heart and exaggerated what Pamela Clark and her former student Le Qing had said about Melody Fox.

As soon as she said those, the other teachers revealed complicated expressions.

Ping, the most unconcerned teacher, was the first to break the silence.

“Team Leader Tang, is what you said true? Could it be that the other examinees deliberately slandered her? After all, she’s their strongest competitor.”

“That’s impossible,” Tang Sina said firmly. “I didn’t get this information through this batch of examinees. I asked my former student, Silverlake. She happens to be familiar with Melody Fox. I also asked around to confirm this information. That’s why I dare to tell you.”

Chapter 1039

“Moreover, I’ve personally seen her disregard for her teachers, so I roughly know that this person’s character is indeed a little bad.”

When Tang Sina said this, everyone looked disappointed.

Two of them had high expectations for Melody Fox and could not help but ask for more details.

“How can she be so disrespectful?”

Tang Sina had already thought of her words in her heart. She immediately exaggerated the fact that Melody Fox was late for the exam and even contradicted her.

This time, the two teachers who had the highest expectations for Melody Fox also clicked their tongues and shook their heads.

“She’s probably too young and frivolous. As expected… she doesn’t have a good personality.”

Tang Sina nodded and said, “Our Insterimond University doesn’t lack talents at all. Most of the geniuses in everyone’s eyes are gathered in our school. But you also know that the more such students there are, the more uncertain their future will be. So… everyone should know about the practical exam in the afternoon.”

In other words, he did not want to give Melody Fox too high a score.

The teachers looked at each other. Although they felt regretful, they still nodded in the end.

“Alright, we understand.”

“Thank you for your reminder, Team Leader. Otherwise, we might have recruited Ms. Fox.”

“That’s right. Thankfully, Team Leader Tang is considerate and knows how to understand this examinee’s character. If it were me, I wouldn’t have thought of that at all. Even if I did, there are so many things going on. I don’t have time to care about.”

Tang Sina smiled and waved her hand.

“You’re welcome. I hope that our Fashion Design Academy can do better than any of you. Since I’m the team leader, I should take on these responsibilities. Therefore, these are my duties. Alright, let’s go to the examination venue and see if we missed anything.”

“Okay.”

“No problem. Let’s go.”

Under Tang Sina’s lead, the group quickly headed to the practice test venue.

The practical examination venue was located in the largest classroom of the Faculty of Costume Design, and the facilities and tools needed for the various designs in the classroom were perfect.

Just as Tang Sina was about to enter the Faculty of Costume Design, she bumped into Melody Fox, who was strolling around.

The two of them unintentionally looked at each other. Tang Sina subconsciously averted her eyes and avoided Melody Fox’s gaze.

Guilt couldn’t be concealed quickly.

Melody Fox happened to be an observant person.

Therefore, she quickly realized that something was wrong.

Melody Fox stared at Tang Sina’s back and had a bad feeling.

This teacher was clearly the invigilator who had been very rude to her.

She had always looked at her with disdain and contempt, but when they looked at each other just now, she clearly saw panic and guilt in the other party’s eyes.

What was she panicking and feeling guilty about?

“Miss Fox, what are you looking at?”

Spencer asked in confusion.

Melody Fox came back to her senses and retracted her gaze. “I’m looking at the teacher who invigilated me. She seems to be a little off.”

“Something’s wrong? What do you mean?”

“It’s just that… I have a feeling that she doesn’t dare to look me in the eye. But before this, she clearly didn’t give me a good attitude.”

Spencer looked down and asked, “Shall I check it out?”

“There’s no need for that.” Melody Fox shook her head and said, “Perhaps I’m overthinking things. Other than meeting her during the exam, I have nothing to do with her. There shouldn’t be any problems.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Melody Fox saw two familiar figures.

It was none other than Pamela Clark and Jian Huan. Pamela Clark was shocked when she saw Melody Fox. The embroidery teacher her father had found for her was an outstanding senior who was about to graduate.

Although this senior had yet to graduate, she had already been signed by the Swanson Group’s clothing company. She was also an outstanding student highly valued by Insterimond University.

Coincidentally, this senior was best at embroidery.

Not only was she good at embroidery, but she was also the 34th generation descendant of complicated embroidery.

Complex embroidery was known as the most ethereal embroidery technique in the embroidery industry.

The only thing that could outweigh the complex embroidery was a nearly lost French embroidery.

If she could learn a little bit of complicated embroidery from this senior, she would be the top scorer in today’s exam.

Of course, the prerequisite was that Melody Fox was not an eyesore.

Both Jian Huan and Pamela Clark were shocked when they ran into Melody Fox on their way to look for the senior. They were afraid that Melody Fox would notice something. However, the more this was the case, the more obvious the expressions on their faces were.

Melody Fox narrowed her eyes and was about to speak when Pamela Clark pulled Jian Huan away quickly.

This action made Melody Fox feel that something was wrong.

She turned her head and looked in the direction the two of them were walking. It was the Fashion Design Academy. There was still some time left before the exam. How did these two people get in?

Moreover, unlike usual times, Pamela Clark did not mock her when hse saw her. This was really rare.

Not only that, but after the two of them left, Pamela Clark even looked back three times with every step. Perhaps because she looked back too often, Jian Huan beside her even pulled her hard as if telling her not to look back again.

Pamela Clark did not look back. The two of them quickly entered the Fashion Design Institute.

The abnormality of these two people made Melody Fox think that there was something wrong with the monitoring teacher.

After thinking for a moment, she turned around and instructed Spencer, “Go and investigate the teacher I mentioned just now.”

She thought for a moment and added, “Investigate if she contacted Pamela Clark or Jian Huan. If she did, find out what they did. Try your best to find out. You must report it to me before the exam begins.”

“Yes!” Spencer quickly left.

Through the connections of the black market, it did not take much effort to find out about this. It was just a matter of time.

After Spencer left, Melody Fox looked at the door of the School of Design again.

Pamela Clark and Jian Huan had already gone in and were nowhere to be seen.

They seemed to be afraid that she would follow them.

Melody Fox could not help but narrow her eyes again.

She originally thought that this exam would be fair and just, but her sixth sense told her that things did not seem to be like this.

However, she would deal with whatever came her way. If there was something fishy, she would find it and deal with it.

She did not like to cause trouble, but she was never afraid of trouble.

It was best that she was overthinking this time. Otherwise, she would not continue to tolerate Pamela Clark.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Melody Fox heard a passing examinee say to his companion, “The exam is coming soon. I’m so nervous… My calligraphy skills are really unstable. I’m really afraid that I won’t be able to perform well…”

“Don’t worry. Your grandfather is a calligrapher. You have the genes of a calligrapher carved into your bones. Don’t be afraid!”

The examinee nodded, but he still looked uneasy.

Melody Fox did not mean to eavesdrop. It was just that her ears were on her body, and the sound drilled into her ears. She had no choice.

She glanced at the two of them as they left. When she thought about how Zhang Wenwen had applied for calligraphy, her expression could not help but become complicated.

Chapter 1040

Originally, when Spencer said that Zhang Wenwen might have taken the money and wanted to lie down, she did not believe it.

However, the time for the exam was almost up, and Zhang Wenwen was nowhere to be seen. She could not help but believe what Spencer said.

Although she respected Zhang Wenwen’s choice, she could not help but feel a little regretful.

She even wondered if Zhang Wenwen would have a better life without the check she gave her.

Did she accidentally change Zhang Wenwen’s life?

If that was the case, had she done something wrong? Melody Fox’s expression gradually became melancholic. After her rebirth, she unintentionally changed the trajectory of many people’s lives, causing many people to die early and also allowing many people to live longer.

For example, Margaret Swanson and Grandma.

However, when it came to Zhang Wenwen, she did not know if she was doing the right thing.

Right at this moment, Melody Fox’s phone rang.

She thought that Spencer had found something so quickly, but when she took out her phone, it was Zhang Wenwen.

Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly answered the call. “Hello, Wenwen…”

“Sister Melody, where are you now? I want to see you.”

“I’m in college. You-“

“I’m right outside the university. Why don’t we meet at the café across the street?”

“Okay, I’m going that way now.”

Melody Fox hung up the phone and rushed to the cafe.

Zhang Wenwen booked a private room.

Melody Fox was led into the private room by the waiter.

However, as soon as the door of the private room was closed by the waiter, Zhang Wenwen, who was covered in dust, knelt in front of her without a word.

Melody Fox was shocked. She reflexively bent down to support Zhang Wenwen. As she supported her, she asked, ” What are you doing? Hurry up and get up.”

Zhang Wenwen shook her head and insisted on kneeling on the ground.

However, in the end, her strength was naturally no match for Melody Fox. She had no choice but to stand up and say, “Sister Melody, I will always remember your kindness to my family!”

Hearing this, Melody Fox roughly understood.

“You know everything?”

“Yes.” Zhang Wenwen’s eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes were red as she said, “After I received the cheque from you this morning, I rushed back to Silverlake. I wanted to use this money to pay for my brother’s medical expenses first. In the end, Rodney Stanton told me that you had already paid for my brother’s medical expenses and you had even treated him. He is now in modern medicine and has recovered a lot. Rodney Stanton said that his life is no longer in danger and that he will be discharged from the hospital in about a month to recuperate.”

Melody Fox nodded.

“If I were in Silverlake, he would be able to recover faster. However, a month is about enough. If he recovers too quickly, it will also consume some of his energy. However, I didn’t expect you to rush back for this. I thought that you wouldn’t want to pursue studies after obtaining such a sum of money.”

“Why would I?” Zhang Wenwen quickly explained to herself, “This sum of money was originally unexpected. With this sum of money, it can solve my family’s urgent needs, but I won’t lose my way because of this. Otherwise, I’ll be letting down everything you’ve done for me.”

Melody Fox smiled and felt relieved.

“I’m very glad that you think that way. I didn’t misjudge you. As for your brother, you don’t have to worry too much about it. It’s just a small matter. I care about medical facts when it comes to treating people. I have a medical fate with him, so everything is fate.”

Zhang Wenwen shook her head vigorously.

“No, no. Although you said it lightly, Rodney Stanton told me that if it weren’t for you, my brother might not have survived this year. He’s really a very sensible child. When he found out that I had dropped out of school, it was because his medical fees were too expensive. He even hanged himself once so that he wouldn’t drag me down. Later, we tried our best to persuade him, so he continued to cooperate with the treatment.”

“What a sensible child. But this is all in the past. Your family will get better and better in the future. You don’t have to be your only pillar of support anymore. When he grows up, he can be your pillar of support.”

Zhang Wenwen’s eyes brimmed with tears, but the light in her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

It was hope and anticipation for the future.

After a while, Zhang Wenwen managed to calm herself down.

She took out a bank card from her pocket and forced it into Melody Fox’s hand.

“What are you doing?”

Melody Fox subconsciously wanted to return the card, but Zhang Wenwen held her hand tightly and said, “Sister Melody, I know that without you, this money would not have existed. Moreover, I might have been bullied… So, I want to return this money to you.”

“But…”

“Don’t be in a hurry to reject me. I know you don’t lack money, so listen to me first.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

“This money, firstly, is to repay the medical fees you paid for my brother. Secondly, I learned from Rodney Stanton that you plan to set up a foundation. The funds inside are dedicated to families with medical difficulties. I want to use this money to do my best.”

“Since you insist… Alright, I’ll accept it on behalf of the foundation. By the way, how much money… is left on this card? I can make you the vice president of the foundation.” “It doesn’t matter if I’m the vice president or not, as long as I can help you. I don’t need a single cent of that check. It’s all in this card.”

Melody Fox looked at Zhang Wenwen in shock.

“You don’t keep a dime for yourself?”

Zhang Wenwen shook her head and said, “If my brother recovers, our family’s expenses won’t be so big. Moreover, I have hands and feet. I can earn it back with my own efforts. I feel strange having such a sum of money in my hands.”

Melody Fox was silent for a while before he suddenly said, Wenwen, you know, I’ve always been disappointed in human nature, but you’ve allowed me to find some confidence. There are still many beautiful people in this world, such as you.”

Zhang Wenwen shook her head again.

“No, no, this is nothing. You’re the best person I’ve ever met.” Melody Fox smiled and said, “Alright, we’re both quite good. Let’s not praise each other. Your exams started earlier than mine. Let’s go back to school to prepare for the exams. We’ll talk about other things later.”

“Then please accept this card. The password of the card is six zeros.”

“Alright, I’ll implement the foundation’s matter as soon as possible. I guarantee that every cent will be spent where it belongs.”

Zhang Wenwen nodded vigorously. “I believe you!” “Okay, let’s go.”

The two of them held hands and walked out of the private room side by side.

The friendship between the two of them had also taken another step forward because of this episode.

Not long after, Zhang Wenwen’s exam was about to begin.

Melody Fox watched Zhang Wenwen enter the examination hall.

She glanced at her wristwatch. Her fashion design exam would only start in 20 minutes.

Chapter 1041

Twenty minutes was not a long time. She did not know if Spencer could find any useful information as well as against Pamela Clark and the invigilator. After all, there was only a little time left for Spencer to check. 50 minutes was still a little short even for the black market. However, she did not know much about the black market. Their information network covered all kinds of industries and was supported by big data. Perhaps the time seemed to be enough for them to gather evidence.

Melody Fox tried her best to calm down.

Even if they could not find anything before the exam started, the truth would definitely be revealed after the exam.

The examination venue was at the Fashion Design Academy. Melody Fox did not intend to go far in case she was late again.

Practical exams were not like theoretical exams. They required skills to produce finished clothes of a specific style.

Just as Melody Fox found a bench and sat down, a familiar voice sounded-

“Miss Fox?”

Melody Fox turned to look in the direction of the voice.

He saw Ming Yiheng, whom he had not seen for two days, walking over uncertainly.

The moment their gazes met, Ming Yiheng confirmed that it was her and quickened his pace to walk in front of her.

“It’s really you, Miss Fox.”

Melody Fox stood up from the bench. She was also a little surprised, but she felt that it was reasonable.

Ming Yiheng was a student at Insterimond University. It was not strange for them to meet here.

“What a coincidence.” Melody Fox smiled and said, “How is it? Have you settled the tuition fees?”

“Yes, the Mont family has already helped me settle my tuition fees. In addition, the contract fees you signed with me have been transferred to my account. I don’t have any financial pressure now. I can focus on my research. Moreover… Minghao has changed a lot. He even treated me to a meal last night and apologized to me.”

“Minghao Tian isn’t a bad person by nature. It’s just that he was in love in the past and did many ridiculous things. It’s a good thing that he can turn over a new leaf.”

Ming Yiheng replied with a “yes” and then said, “Last night… Minghao Tian asked me if I wanted to continue staying in his room in the Mont family.”

“Oh? Then how did you answer?”

“I said I’ll think about it.”

Melody Fox did not want to interfere with the Mont family’s internal affairs, so she nodded and said, “It’s fine as long as you think about it yourself. In the end, this matter still depends on your own wishes. In my opinion, the Mont family can provide you with a lot of convenience in life. If they really want you to stay in the Mont family, it might not be a bad thing.”

“My parents died when I was young. I’m used to living alone. It doesn’t matter to me whether I go back or not.”

After Ming Yiheng finished speaking, his tone changed and he asked, “Why are you here?”

“I’m here for the exam.”

Ming Yiheng quickly reacted and asked, “You participated in the special talent recruitment event?”

“Yeah.

“What subjects did you sign up for?”

“Costume design, Halcyon paintings, and women’s mixed martial arts.”

Ming Yiheng’s eyes widened in shock.

“What’s wrong?” Melody Fox could not help but laugh. “Is there anything wrong with the three subjects I signed up for?” Ming Yiheng hurriedly shook his head.

“It’s not wrong. It’s… It’s a little too unrelated.”

Melody Fox smiled gently again. “That’s true. If the costume design and Halcyon’s painting are slightly related, the women’s mixed martial arts are a little unrelated.”

“I thought you’d sign up for AI Technology or Medicine.”

Melody Fox shook her head. “I only know a little about AI Technology. Moreover, there’s someone like you, whiz. Even if I enter this specialization, I have nowhere to show off. As for medicine, I’m already the person in charge of Herbathrive. There’s no need to choose this. Moreover, I chose fashion design for my mother.”

“Your mother?”

“Yes, she came from this profession. Although she became a celebrity later, she returned to the fashion design industry after winning a big award and even founded the Justalion Group. So I want to learn it systematically and try my best to have the ability to inherit her mantle in the future.” “I don’t know why, but as long as Miss Fox chose the path, I feel that it’s right. Moreover, I believe that you will definitely be able to pass all three subjects.”

“It’s hard to say. Insterimond University is filled with talent. As the saying goes, there’s always someone better than you. I should remain humble. It’s also because of this that I signed up for three courses. In the end, I’ll see which one I can accept. Compared to other things, obtaining the acceptance letter from Insterimond University is the most important thing for me now.”

“Why is this so important to you?”

Melody Fox’s gaze drifted away as Ken Swanson’s face appeared in her mind.

A hint of sweetness could not help but appear on her face.

“Because… I want to be someone who can stand side by side with him.”

Ming Yiheng observed Melody Fox’s expression and knew who she was talking about. Unknowingly, a trace of loneliness flashed across his heart.

“To be honest, I’m a little envious of that person.”

“Yes?”

“N-nothing.”

Right at this moment, Spencer ran over.

“Miss Fox, I…”

He looked at Ming Yiheng and wanted to say something, but hesitated.

Melody Fox trusted Ming Yiheng’s character, so he said to Spencer, who was a little apprehensive of Ming Yiheng, “It’s fine. He’s my friend. Tell me directly. What did you find out?” Spencer did not dare to question Melody Fox’s words. He nodded and said, “The investigation is almost done. Your invigilator’s surname is Tang and her name is Tang Sina. She is the leader of the Fashion Design Academy’s teaching team. At around noon, she met Jian Huan and Pamela Clark in the coffee shop opposite the school. Later, she met the two men in her office. The three of them seemed to have come to some sort of agreement. And I found out that after Tang Sina met them in her office, she went to check your exam results and the surveillance of the exam.”

Melody Fox narrowed her eyes.

“Looks like Pamela Clark doesn’t believe that my score is real; she insisted it was fake, but they definitely won’t be able to find anything. By the way, have you found the call records?”

Spencer nodded and shook his head. He said with some shame, “They have several phone records, but the content is still uncertain.”

“You can’t find the content?”

“It’s not that I can’t find him. It’s the person in charge of big data surveillance. He’s currently on a business trip in Silverlake. Because business trips are confidential, I can’t contact him at the moment. However, if it’s Sir, I’ll definitely be able to contact him, so I came over to ask for your opinion.”

Melody Fox was silent for a moment before asking, “Have you checked the transfer records between Tang Sina, Jian Huan, and Pamela Clark?”

“This… also requires that person’s authorization.”

Melody Fox could not help but feel a little troubled.

“I know how to check this, too. It’s not difficult for me, but I’ll be going to take the final exam soon. I don’t have a computer on hand now. If I take a computer, I’m afraid 15 minutes won’t be enough.”

However, she did not want Ken Swanson to interfere in this matter.

Although Ken Swanson did not say it, she knew that he had a lot of things to do. Not only did he have to keep an eye on the Ou Jing project, but he also had to be busy with Ximber Tech.

If it wasn’t necessary, she really didn’t want to trouble Ken Swanson.

Most especially, he was busy at the moment…

Chapter 1042

Right then, Ming Yiheng, who had been quietly listening to them, suddenly spoke.

“You guys need someone who knows how to hack, right?”

Spencer glanced at Ming Yiheng and replied, “Not only do you need to know how to do it, but you also need to be very skilled.”

Melody Fox suddenly asked, “Yiheng, do you mean that you can help?”

She remembered that AI’s technology was somewhat similar to hacking technology. Both required very exquisite computer technology.

Ming Yiheng’s forte was writing programs. Perhaps he also knew how to hack.

Sure enough, Ming Yiheng nodded and said, “Other than designing AI and writing programming, I’m also learning hacking knowledge. If you really need people on your side and don’t mind, perhaps I can help.”

“That’s great! But it won’t hold you up from your own business, will it?”

After all, Ming Yiheng would one day be the center of attention because of his invention. If he delayed his matters because of such a small matter, the gains would not make up for the losses.

Ming Yiheng shook his head and said, “No, I don’t have class this afternoon. I originally didn’t plan to come to school, but a teacher asked me to help solve a problem, so I came to school. Now that the matter has been resolved, there are no other arrangements.”

“Alright then.’

Melody Fox nodded and instructed Spencer, “I’m going to take the exam. Bring him along and investigate everything that needs to be investigated. Then…”

She lowered her voice and whispered something in Spencer’s ear.

Spencer’s eyes lit up. After responding with a “yes”, he said politely to Ming Yiheng, “Mr. Ming, this way please.”

“You’re welcome. Just call me by my name. Let’s go.”

“Alright! Then, Miss Fox, we’ll get back to work first.” “Go on.”

Melody Fox waved her hand and watched the two of them leave. Then, she walked towards the Fashion Design Academy.

Ten minutes later, almost all the students gathered at the entrance of the examination hall.

Melody Fox arrived a few minutes early this time and was quickly arranged to sit in the first row according to the admission ticket number.

She sized up her seat and saw that there were all kinds of materials needed to design and make clothes on the table. It could be considered complete.

She also discovered that there were many tools needed for embroidery on the table.

She could vaguely guess the contents of the exam. Her face was calm, and nothing could be seen.

In the afternoon, there was more than one invigilator for the practical fashion design exam. Other than Tang Sina in the morning, five other teachers were standing in different positions in the examination hall.

In addition, three teachers were standing on the podium.

In other words, there were a total of nine teachers in the classroom.

There was no need for so many people to invigilate at all. It seemed that, other than giving marks for the finished product, they also needed to give marks for live performance.

Moreover, Melody Fox keenly noticed that several teachers were looking in her direction. However, other than probing, there were also regretful or disdainful expressions.

She subconsciously frowned and had some guesses.

The teachers were probably looking at her because of her high score in the morning and because… Tang Sina had said something to them.

And the content of her words was definitely not good.

After all, how could a dog spit out ivory?

Five minutes before the exam, Pamela Clark arrived late. “I’m sorry, Teacher. I’m late.”

Unlike Melody Fox, who arrived at the examination hall in the morning, Tang Sina did not look displeased at all. Instead, she said pleasantly, “It’s fine. It hasn’t officially started yet. Hurry up and go in. Your seat is in the second row.”

“Thank you, Teacher.”

Pamela Clark smiled gratefully at Tang Sina and walked into the examination hall.

Coincidentally, Pamela Clark was in the row behind Melody Fox.

The moment their eyes met, Pamela Clark snorted and coldly walked past her.

Other than disdain in her eyes, there was also a hint of smugness.

Melody Fox quickly analyzed Pamela Clark’s expression. Tang Sina must have given Pamela Clark the answer.

Unfortunately, the fashion design practical exam was different from other exams. One could not have the advantage just because they knew the questions in advance.

This kind of advantage, if one’s strength was insufficient, was almost negligible to those who already had great strength.

Not long after Pamela Clark sat down, the exam bell rang.

“Alright, all candidates, take your positions. Please check if the tools on your table are complete. There’s a form on your left. If there’s nothing on your table, please raise your hands and report.”

As soon as Tang Sina finished speaking, all the candidates immediately counted the tools on their tables.

Only Melody Fox stared straight at the classroom door.

She was waiting.

She waited for her to quietly instruct Spencer to do something.

Tang Sina glanced around and saw Melody Fox sitting on the spot without moving. She did not know what she was looking at. She sneered in her heart.

Everyone else was checking, but she didn’t move. She was ignoring her words.

She knew that this would happen. She should have done something to Melody Fox’s seat to let her know what would happen if she ignored her.

However, it would be the same no matter what. The person who would be admitted in the end would definitely not be Melody Fox.

If she tampered with it, it might arouse suspicion.

Thinking of this, Tang Sina told herself to look at Melody Fox as little as possible to avoid attracting the attention of the other teachers.

However, just as Tang Sina looked away, messy footsteps sounded in the corridor outside.

There seemed to be a large group of people walking over.

Tang Sina frowned and said to the teacher beside her, “Didn’t you inform the students of the academy? Don’t wander around this floor.”

The teacher hurriedly waved his hand and explained, “I’ve already informed them. Moreover, in order not to disturb the examinees, all the students who have classes on this level today have been transferred.”

“Then why is it so noisy outside?”

“I’ll go take a look…”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people arrived at the entrance of the examination hall.

Tang Sina widened her eyes in shock when she saw Elder Nian.

“P…-Principal?”

The person who came was none other than the dean of the Fashion Design Academy, Quong Poxue.

Quong Poxue was about to reach retirement age, and he had long stopped teaching. He was only in charge of the administrative matters of the academy, so he rarely appeared in the academy. He was usually in the office of the dean’s building.

Hence, all the teachers were surprised to see Quong Po Xue in the examination room. They straightened their backs and greeted him.

“Dean Kong.”

“Hello, Director.”

As the leader of the teaching team, Tang Sina was the first to walk up and talk to Quong Po Xue.

“Dean Kong, why are you free to come over today? Are you here to watch the examinees’ exam?”

“Yes and no,” Quong Poxue explained. “Actually, I’m here with Mr. Zuo.”

After saying that, he took two steps to the side.

Chapter 1043

Quong Poxue stood up. A man with a terrifying scar on his face and gold-rimmed glasses took a step forward.

When they saw who it was, everyone, including the examinees, widened their eyes.

Why… did he appear?!

Only Melody Fox’s lips curled into a subtle smile.

Quong Poxue was the first to break the silence and introduce, “This is Ou Jing’s senior executive, Zuo Ye, Mr. Zuo. I don’t think I need to introduce him. Everyone knows his identity, right?”

“I know, of course, I know!”

Tang Sina was the team leader after all. She was the first to come back to her senses and took the initiative to extend her hand to Zuo Ye.

“Hello, Mr. Zuo. I’m Tang Sina, the head of the Fashion Design Academy’s teaching team. You can call me Lil Tang.” Zuo Ye nodded slightly, but he did not shake hands with Tang Sina.

Tang Sina retracted her hand awkwardly. She scratched her neck and asked, “Director, may I know why you and Mr. Zuo are here?”

Quong Poxue said, “Other than making chips, Ou Jing’s subsidiary companies are also involved in many industries. Coincidentally, Mr. Zuo was invited by our school to be a certified guest, so he thought that he might as well use this opportunity to sign some students with potential in our school. Especially in our school, he plans to sign a few more students to be their interns.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all the examinees present lit up.

Especially, Pamela Clark, the excitement in her heart could not be any greater.

If she could enter Ou Jing, the Clark Group would definitely rise.

Taking a step back, even if she could not help the Clark Group, as long as she entered Ou Jing, her future would naturally be bright.

It seemed that she had to put in 200% effort to deal with this exam today.

Tang Sina was also a little surprised, but it was not Ou Jing’s first time signing people at University Insterimond, so she quickly calmed down.

She had a premonition that there were a few people carrying camera equipment behind Zuo Ye. She could not help but ask again.

“I see. I wonder what the equipment behind Mr. Zuo is for?” This time, before Quong Boxue could speak, Zuo Ye personally explained, “I don’t know anything about fashion design, so I plan to broadcast this examination live so that those in the company who know about this can watch the entire examination process.

Melody Fox raised her eyebrows silently.

She had instructed Spencer to ask Zuo Ye to bring people over and broadcast the entire examination live.

However, she thought that Zuo Ye would send someone over. She did not expect him to come personally.

Tsk, another huge debt of gratitude.

Zuo Ye paused for a moment before continuing, “However, the candidates still need to agree to livestreaming. I wonder if anyone has any objections to this.”

The examinees below answered almost in unison, “No objections!”

How could he have any objections?

To have a chance to let Ou Jing’s people see their performance was something they could not even dream of.

It was already very difficult for an international big company like Ou Jing to enter their interview segment, let alone directly show their ability to them.

This was a sure-win deal!

Who would reject a live broadcast?

Zuo Ye’s gaze swept over and saw that no one had any objections, so he said, “Then set up the equipment. I won’t stay here to disturb your exams. I’ll be watching the live broadcast in the classroom next door. Of course, the live broadcast is currently on the largest live broadcast platform in Halcyon, so other than Ou Jing’s people, there might be some netizens who will enter the live broadcast room to watch. Please be mentally prepared.”

When the examinees heard this, they had some misgivings.

After all, the netizens were talking about ghosts that killed people. If they make any mistakes, they might be scolded online.

However, when they thought that this might be their only chance to sign a contract with Ou Jing, everyone agreed to broadcast it live on the platform.

When Tang Sina heard this, her palms broke out in cold sweat.

She subconsciously glanced at Melody Fox and felt guilty. If the exam were judged by their own academy’s exam, she could guarantee 100% that Melody Fox would definitely not be accepted.

But now, the person in charge of judging the examinees’ abilities far exceeded her imagination. The matter suddenly became uncontrollable.

She saw that Melody Fox had a calm expression on her face as if she had a card up her sleeve for this round of examination. She was even more alarmed.

Tang Sina could not help but look at Pamela Clark worriedly.

However, Pamela Clark gave her a reassuring look. Only then did her panicked heart slowly calm down.

Since Pamela Clark was so confident, it meant that she had found a very good teacher.

Although it was just before the exam, Pamela Clark still had the advantage since she had the answer to the question.

Then… let nature take its course.

Perhaps that village girl, Melody Fox, did not know embroidery at all?

Tang Sina kept hinting to herself that nothing would go wrong. Gradually, she calmed down completely.

Theoretical exams were good, but that didn’t mean that they were good at fighting.

A family like Pamela Clark was in the fashion business. Naturally, she had come into contact with all kinds of fashion design since she was young. Her advantage was definitely more than Melody Fox’s.

At that, all the cameras were set up.

He could guarantee that he would not miss any of the students’ work.

Zuo Ye and Quong Poxue also left very quickly and went to the classroom next door to sit down.

The principals of the Insterimond University also came over after hearing the news. They politely poured water for Zuo Ye.

Initially, he wanted to give it a try. He was not sure if Zuo Ye could spare some time. However, he did not expect Zuo Ye to pay more attention to this special talent recruitment than he had imagined.

Good news, it was simply a piece of good news!

Zuo Ye’s expression did not change at all in the face of the Principal and the Principal’s kind compliments. His eyes were fixed on the big screen in the examination hall.

If one looked closely at his eyes, one would realize that he had been paying attention to only one person from the beginning to the end.

That was Melody Fox.

However, with Zuo Ye’s identity, no one dared to look at him carefully. Therefore, no one noticed that Zuo Ye’s attention was all on Melody Fox.

Even Melody Fox did not know the purpose of his trip. That was to obtain Melody Fox’s DNA.

Both he and Mr. Ou needed to confirm whether Melody Fox and Mr. Ou were father and daughter.

If they were not father and daughter, then Miss Fox would be Mr. Ou’s benefactor.

If it was really a father-daughter relationship… Ou Jing, another international venture capital company in Mr. Ou’s hands, and even the entire Orick family would probably face a huge change.

However, it was too difficult to achieve this goal without being detected.

He had to think about what to do so that Melody Fox would not notice.

If Melody Fox found out about it, he would not know how to explain it. Mr. Ou had also repeatedly reminded him not to disturb Melody Fox before the matter was confirmed.

He had to think about it carefully.

Zuo Ye stared at Melody Fox on the screen and fell into deep thought.

The Principal and Dean thought that Zuo Ye was taking this exam very seriously, so they did not dare to disturb him anymore.

Chapter 1044

The classroom was silent.

At this moment, the big screen began to connect to the live-stream platform.

As soon as the live broadcast started, Zuo Ye’s people directly bought the number one recommendation spot on the live broadcast platform.

With the number one recommendation spot, a large number of viewers flooded into the livestream almost instantly.

Some people who entered the Livestream for no reason saw that the title of the live stream was “Oujing Group Selecting Talents from University Insterimond.” They stayed in the live-stream with interest.

In the examination hall.

Tang Sina also began to announce the topic of the exam.

“All examinees, listen carefully. The theme of this design is the birthday gown of the female lead of the birthday banquet. The additional content is embroidery.”

As soon as the word “embroidery” came out, the expressions on every examinee’s face were different. Some were glad that their forte was embroidery, while others were devastated that they did not know how to embroider at all.

Of course, Pamela Clark was exceptionally calm.

She knew the questions in advance and even found a successor to learn the complicated embroidery technique. She was filled with confidence in this examination.

The advantage of complex embroidery was that the embroidery pattern would be more three-dimensional. Those with exquisite skills could embroider flowers and attract real butterflies to dance on the flowers.

Of course, she couldn’t reach this level with just an hour of practice. However, with what she knew now, it was not a problem for her to crush the other examinees.

Pamela Clark looked up and glanced at Melody Fox, who was sitting in front of her. There was a hint of smugness in her eyes.

If Melody Fox wanted to beat her, she had to learn complex embroidery, or French embroidery, which was more difficult and advanced than complex embroidery.

But that was impossible.

French embroidery had almost been lost. Her last descendant seemed to have died of illness a few years ago and there was no news of her.

If Melody Fox wanted to learn French embroidery, he could only court death underground.

In short, no matter how he thought about it, Melody Fox’s performance couldn’t surpass her. What she needed to do now was to stabilize her mind and unleash her full strength.

On the podium.

Tang Sina said again, “Embroidery is a relatively difficult technique. It’s easy to learn, but it’s very difficult to learn well. Everyone, try your best to calm down and display your best standards. Moreover, our criteria are not only the level of embroidery, but also the cutting, design, and so on… Next, please invite our models in. You can customize their birthday gowns according to their figures and temperament.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of models waiting outside the examination hall walked in one after another.

Tang Sina introduced, “These models are your seniors and students from the acting academy. Their temperaments and auras are different, so you have to find a style that suits them in the area you’re good at. If the style of the gown is too different from their temperament, it will affect the score.”

As Tang Sina spoke, she clapped her hands and said, ” Alright, follow your number plate and find your partner candidate.”

“Alright, Teacher Tang.”

The models nodded and found their spots according to the number tag.

Tang Sina had already secretly arranged for Pamela Clark to be assigned the model with the best figure and appearance among the group of models.

Pamela Clark was very satisfied with her model. She looked up at the model who was assigned to Melody Fox.

Similarly, Melody Fox was also observing their assigned models.

Among all the seniors, this senior looked the most ordinary.

However, Melody Fox was not in a hurry. Instead, she was seriously looking for the other party’s strengths.

Melody Fox walked around the model and quickly found the other party’s advantage over the others.

That was a slim waist.

“Hello, Senior. How should I address you?”

Melody Fox stood in front of the model and asked.

“My surname is Lin. You can call me Lin Lin.”

Melody Fox nodded. Since she was two years older than this model, she did not stand on ceremony and said, “Okay, Lin Lin. Do you mind if I take your measurements?”

“I don’t mind.” Lin Lin had a good impression of the girl in front of her. Although her appearance did not even pass, the aura she exuded was even more calm and powerful than some of the powerful fashion designers she had interacted with.

Lin Lin looked at Melody Fox, who had measured her three times and said in embarrassment, “I’m sorry, I think I’m the one who can’t give you extra points among these models. I wasn’t selected for this group of people, but for some reason, I was suddenly given this opportunity. Since I can. get extra credits by coming over, I agreed…”

Lin Lin only thought that she was lucky, but Melody Fox knew better.

What could have happened? It must be Tang Sina’s doing.

Unfortunately, Tang Sina only noticed that Lin Lin’s appearance was ordinary. She did not notice that Lin Lin’s waist was the thinnest among the models present. It was so thin that it was almost impossible to hold.

Moreover, in terms of height, Lin Lin had some advantages.

She wasn’t the tallest model on the scene, but her figure was the most well-proportioned. Her long legs were born to be models.

“No, you’re very good. In my eyes, you’re the best among them.”

Lin Lin smiled. “Thank you for thinking so highly of me.”

“I’m not complimenting you. I’m telling you the truth.”

Melody Fox took down the ruler and pointed at the scale on it. “Fifty-eight.”

“Yes?”

“Your waistline is only 26 inches. No other model can compare to that.”

Lin Lin’s face turned red and she said, “I’m indeed… born with a slim waist. In the past, someone asked me if I had taken out my ribs, but I was born with them.”

Melody Fox grunted and said, “I know. And I can also tell that you seem to be suffering from a little anorexia.”

Lin Lin lowered her eyes and said, “I wanted to gain muscle mass a while ago, but it backfired and I accidentally developed anorexia.”

“Don’t worry.” Melody Fox quickly wrote down a prescription and handed it to Lin Lin. “I have a secret prescription here that can easily treat anorexia. As long as you follow the prescription for three days, this will not happen again and the intestinal bacteria will return to normal.”

Lin Lin’s eyes lit up.

“Really? Thank you so much!”

“There’s no need. It’s nothing. Then… shall we begin?”

“Yes!” Lin Lin nodded vigorously, thinking that she had to help Melody Fox.

Although she did not know if this prescription was really as effective as Melody Fox said, the other party was just being kind. Therefore, even if she could not add icing on the cake for her, she could not drag her down.

After Melody Fox understood Lin Lin’s figure and confirmed Lin Lin’s temperament and style through small talk, she sat down quietly and began to draw the design.

Since it was the theme of the birthday banquet, she had to make Lin Lin, the “main character” of the birthday banquet, stand out from the crowd. If she stood in the crowd, she would be able to discover that she was the main character.

After pondering for a moment, Melody Fox decided on a plan in her heart. Her brain was thinking the same thing as while her hands did not stop moving.

Chapter 1045

After Melody Fox confirmed her thoughts in her mind, the speed at which she drew the design plan increased.

After a series of alterations and improvements, the total time she spent had not exceeded 20 minutes.

As for the others, most of them were still discussing the design style with the models. Of course, some had already started writing, but there were not many people like her who had already drawn a rough design.

However, Melody Fox noticed that Pamela Clark’s design had also been drawn and was undergoing final checks with the model.

Because Pamela Clark’s seat was right behind her, and Pamela Clark’s voice was loud, perhaps to attract the attention of the upper echelons of Ou Jing, Pamela Clark’s every word seemed especially high-pitched.

Therefore, it was difficult for Melody Fox not to know about her progress.

Although she did not know exactly how strong Pamela Clark was, she knew very well that with Pamela Clark’s ability, she couldn’t be so fast.

If she really had this ability, the Clark Group would not have lost the Swanson Group’s collaboration and caused the company to plummet.

The only explanation was that Pamela Clark already knew the theme of this exam in advance, so she already knew what kind of design she wanted to draw.

However, Melody Fox did not care much about Pamela Clark. She began to cut the fabric according to the three sizes of the forest.

Everyone had the same fabric, the same material, and the same pure white color.

White gave them the greatest leeway.

While Melody Fox was cutting the fabric, Lin Lin, who was beside her, looked at Melody Fox’s design out of curiosity.

On the design, there was a white strapless embroidered dress. The waistline of the dress was very narrow, as if it followed the tight-fitting dress style worn by wealthy ladies and socialites in Country F for more than a hundred years.

Although the style of the long dress was French retro, the embroidery on the long dress was filled with an oriental charm. At first glance, it did not seem to be a dress, but a beautiful porcelain.

The classic and beautiful dress perfectly matched Lin Lin’s elegant and classical temperament and magnified her slender waist to the greatest extent.

This was only a simplified version of the design. One could imagine how stunning it would be when the clothes were finished.

“Ms Fox, you’re amazing…” Lin Lin couldn’t help but praise.

Melody Fox curved her lips and said, “Whether I’m good or not is another matter, but this dress will definitely suit you very well.”

Ringling blushed.

“You seem to overestimate me.”

Melody Fox said very seriously, “No, you underestimate yourself too much. You’re born to be a model.”

Lin Lin became even more shy.

However, after Melody Fox’s praise, her originally inferior heart seemed to be filled with an invisible thing, and she gradually became confident.

“Thank you, Classmate Fox. I’ll work hard to live up to your expectations.”

“I won’t let you down. Trust me.”

“Yup!”

Lin Lin nodded vigorously, her eyes shining with a brilliance that she had never had before.

Melody Fox heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Lin’s change.

Lin Lin had a good figure, but she lacked confidence.

It was said that “confident women are the most beautiful”, but it was actually true.

Now, under her constant psychological hints and praises, the confidence Lin Lin displayed made her seem less ordinary.

“Huh!”

Pamela Clark, who was behind the two of them, sneered when she heard their conversation.

She wanted to mock them, but she suddenly remembered that she was surrounded by cameras. She could only suppress the disdain in her heart and continue to cut the fabric in her hand according to the design.

She was very satisfied with her design. There was no other reason than that she was not the one who drew this design at all.

After receiving the questions from Tang Sina, she immediately contacted her father, Papa Clark.

In addition to getting her Father to find an embroidery expert to teach her complicated embroidery techniques, she also got her Father to find the best designers in the Clark Group to help her produce the design plans in advance.

The design followed Clark Group’s most distinctive feature: gorgeous.

The entire dress was designed as a medieval retro princess dress. It was similar to the classic puffy dress of Princess Wilona. It had exaggerated bubble sleeves, a huge skirt, and a huge bow tied behind it.

However, due to the limitations of the fabric, it was slightly more colorful than Princess Wilona’s dress.

Overall, it looked gorgeous and dignified. Wearing it seemed to transform one into a fairytale princess.

Pamela Clark was very satisfied with the design.

However, her model, Susu, looked at the design for a long time and said hesitantly, “Um… Student Clark.”

“What is it?” Pamela Clark looked up impatiently.

Susu gritted her teeth and said, “The design you drew is very beautiful, but isn’t it a little inappropriate for my style? Teacher Tang seems to have said that it has to fit the model’s style. I’m more suitable for the kind that highlights the figure… the style of a hot girl. You’re too dignified and princess-like.”

Susu was undoubtedly the most beautiful model in the entire examination hall. It would not be an exaggeration to let her enter the entertainment industry as an actress.

Susu’s personal style was also very obvious.

Her facial features were more three-dimensional, and her figure was very voluptuous. However, her frame was very small, so it was more suitable for a slim-fit dress or a short skirt. It was not a fluffy dress with a huge skirt that covered all her body advantages.

Moreover, her daily makeup was more European-American. When she put on such a proper princess dress, she felt a little strange.

However, when Susu raised her opinion, Pamela Clark’s face darkened.

If it weren’t for the camera, she would have scolded the model.

Pamela Clark lowered her voice and said, “Senior, you’re just a model, not a designer. It’s not your professional business. It’s better if you don’t interrupt.”

Susu’s expression changed. She was a little frightened by Pamela Clark’s tone.

“I-I don’t mean anything else. I’m just reminding you so that you don’t…”

“Alright, you don’t have to say anymore. This design is perfect. I won’t change it. You just have to do your job and wear it after the dress is done. You don’t have to worry about anything else.”

She actually dared to question the designs of the most powerful designers in her company. I was simply speechless!

“Also,” Pamela Clark continued, “since you’re a model, you should be able to wear different styles of clothes, right? If you only wear one style, you won’t be called a model. You’ll be called… everyday wear. If this dress doesn’t look good on you, you can change your profession in the future. The modeling industry isn’t suitable for you.”

Susu didn’t dare to say anything else.

She was originally the most outstanding model in this batch, but after Pamela Clark’s words, she instantly lost her confidence.

Clark seemed to be right. Models should be able to wear different styles of clothes, but her clothes seemed to have always been spicy.

It seemed like… she was indeed wrong. She shouldn’t have questioned Student Clark.

Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 1026, 1027, 1028, 1029, 1030, 1031, 1032, 1033, 1034, 1035) 

Chapter 1026

Every time he thought about how the two men he liked had chosen to stand on Melody Fox’s side, Pamela Clark’s heart would be filled with endless resentment.

Facing the examinee’s questioning gaze, she said calmly, “There is limited time in the exam. I don’t have time to gossip with you.”

With that, she lowered her head and continued answering the questions.

She only had one last design left. Thirty minutes left and it should be about right.

The examinee didn’t ask any more questions. They returned to their senses and began to check their papers.

The teacher on the podium originally wanted to stop the students from whispering. Now that everyone had automatically quietened down, she did not care anymore.

After all, other than the poor and ugly girl just now, everyone else present was dressed elegantly. They were either new stars in the fashion industry or the heirs of fashion tycoons. She could not afford to offend anyone.

At the same time, Melody Fox had already left the classroom and picked up her bag outside.

As soon as she turned on her phone, she saw a message from Ken Swanson.

It was the address and room number of the new hotel, as well as… Ken Swanson selfies.

In the photo, Ken Swanson was sitting on the bed with a glass of water in his hand. He used the photo to illustrate that he was obedient and had a good rest.

Melody Fox smiled bitterly.

She replied, “Has anyone ever told you that your selfie skills are really terrible?”

Ken Swanson replied almost instantly, “No one.”

“Oh, so they’re afraid to say.”

“No, it’s because I’ve never taken a selfie.”

Melody Fox stopped in her tracks and a faint smile spread across her lips.

He had never taken a selfie before but did just to report it to her.

She knew that Ken Swanson did not mean to say that her status in his heart was extraordinary, but it was precisely because Ken Swanson did not mean to express this that she felt even sweeter.

Ken Swanson quickly sent another message.

“You finished the exam so quickly?”

“Yes, I think I’m almost done answering, so I handed in my paper in advance.”

“Then I’ll wait for you at the hotel. It’s about time for lunch.

Melody Fox looked at the time. It was only eleven o’clock. She was not hungry at all.

However, she could treat Zhang Wenwen to a meal today.

The last time she had treated her to a meal, she had taken her to the “Hongmen Banquet” on Minghao Day. She felt quite apologetic, so she had always remembered to treat her.

However, Melody Fox looked around outside and could not find Zhang Wenwen.

She called, but Zhang Wenwen’s phone was turned off.

‘What’s the situation?’

She was a little worried about Zhang Wenwen’s safety, so she called Spencer over and said, “Go and check where Zhang Wenwen went and if she’s safe.”

“Yes!”

Spencer received the order and left.

When Melody Fox reached the school gate, she realized that Zuo Ye was still standing at the school gate.

Puzzled, she walked forward and asked, “Mr. Zuo, why are you still here? Are you waiting for me?”

“Yes, Miss Fox…” Zuo Ye looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Melody Fox said directly, “Just say what you want to say. Is there anything I can help you with? It’s still Mr. Ou…”

“I do have something I need your help with, but it’s not Mr. Ou’s health. He’s recovering very well.”

“And that is… ?”

“It’s the old master of the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce who’s sick.”

As Melody Fox listened, she first sent a message to Ken Swanson, telling him that he had met Zuo Ye and would probably return later.

After Ken Swanson replied, “Got it.” She looked up and asked, “The old master of the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce… If I remember correctly, his name is Ge Yuanbai, right?”

“Yes, it is.”

“What’s his relationship with Ou Jing?”

Melody Fox asked this firstly because she still had exams in the afternoon and did not want to get involved in irrelevant people’s matters.

Secondly, the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce controlled the economic lifeline of Insterimond. Even though the Swanson Group was already the leader of Halcyon’s business, they had always maintained a good relationship with the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce and would not become enemies with it.

Moreover, the Swanson Group’s headquarters was located in Silverlake, not Insterimond. In addition to the fact that Ramon Swanson people were in Silverlake, another important reason was the existence of the Insterimond Chamber of Commerce.

If the Swanson Group’s headquarters were to be transferred to Insterimond, it would definitely be controlled by the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, the next best thing was to set up a good relationship with businessmen in Insterimond.

It could be seen how influential the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce was.

For all these reasons, unless it was necessary, she would not get involved with the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce.

Zuo Ye naturally knew what Melody Fox was thinking.

He answered, “When Ou Jing set up the Halcyon branch, Old Master Ge helped Mr. Ou a lot. Mr. Ou was assassinated more than 20 years ago, and it was also thanks to Mr. Ge’s help that he could successfully return to Europe. Therefore, when he heard that he was seriously ill, Mr. Ou wanted me to ask you if you could come with me to visit Old Master Ge.”

“I’m sorry…” Melody Fox shook her head and refused. “I have exams these two days. I’m afraid there is no time to treat people. Moreover, I remember that Old Master Ge is already very old. There are some old illnesses that even I can’t guarantee that they can be cured. If they can’t be cured… I’m afraid it won’t be beneficial to me or you. So… I can’t go with you. I’m sorry.”

“No, no!” Zuo Ye waved his hand repeatedly and said with a terrified expression, “Mr. Ou only asked me to ask for your opinion. If it’s inconvenient for you, Mr. Ou and I can understand. Please don’t feel embarrassed. If you want to say sorry, we’re the ones who are embarrassed. We especially came to trouble you and make things difficult for you.”

Melody Fox saw that Zuo Ye was so terrified and did not say anything else. She only said, “I understand what you mean. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first?”

“Shall I give you a lift?”

“No need. I’m at a hotel not far ahead.”

Melody Fox pointed at the building of the Insterimond Hotel. Zuo Ye understood.

“Do you live in this section?”

“Yes. As long as it’s related to Mr. Ou’s health, you can still look for me at the hotel.”

“Thank you, Miss Fox. I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll take my leave first.”

“Yeah.”

Melody Fox nodded. Just as she was about to watch Zuo Ye leave, she suddenly remembered Ulric Swanson in Silverlake’s.

Old Master Ge was seriously ill, and there was still no news from Ken Swanson. It seemed that Orek was the first to know.

However, the news would definitely reach Ulric Swanson sooner or later.

If Ulric Swanson had any ill intentions and got Jennie Taylor, a malicious doctor to intervene and forcefully extend Old Master Ge’s life, the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce would probably owe Ulric Swanson a huge favor.

This was not good for them.

Since it concerned their personal interests, Melody Fox gritted her teeth and stopped Zuo Ye.

“Mr. Zuo, please wait!”

Zuo Ye quickly stopped in his tracks and looked at Melody Fox expectantly.

“Did Miss Fox change her mind?”

Melody Fox was silent for a moment before saying, “I still don’t want to be involved with the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce. But I have a piece of news that I can sell to you.”

“What news?” Zuo Ye asked immediately.

Chapter 1027

“Go ahead, I’m all ears.”

Zuo Ye knew that for Melody Fox to say this, this news must be very important.

Melody Fox looked around. After confirming that there were no other people around, she said, “The news of Old Master Ge’s serious illness hasn’t spread yet, right?”

“Not yet. My master has a good relationship with Old Master Ge, so he was the first to know about it. The Ge family is still hiding the news from the public. After all, the influence of the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce is too wide.”

“Yes.” Melody Fox nodded and said, “But the news will leak out sooner or later. The news I want to sell you is… If someone from Silverlake contacts Old Master Ge and says that he can save Old Master Ge’s life, tell him to be careful. The other party is very likely to be malicious doctors.”

“What?!” Zuo Ye’s eyes widened.

Although he had Halcyon’s blood in him, he had been taken in by Mr. Ou since he was young and lived in Europe for a long time.

But even so, he knew very well the dangers of Halcyon’s malicious doctors.

He asked in shock, “Haven’t Halcyon malicious doctors been wiped out by Halcyon officials a long time ago?”

“Even with the long arms of heaven, there are still some fish that slipped through the net. To tell you the truth, malicious doctors are now on the verge of revival. Moreover, the development speed of this period is several times faster than the past twenty years.”

Zuo Ye’s palms were covered 0in a thin layer of sweat as he listened.

He thought about Melody Fox’s words carefully and asked tentatively, “Miss Fox, are the people on Silverlake’s side… related to the Swanson Group?”

“Yup.”

As smart as Zuo Ye was, he immediately understood who the “Silverlake person” Melody Fox was referring to was.

If it wasn’t Ulric Swanson, who else could it be?

Others might not know about Ulric Swanson’s schemes, but he and Mr. Ou were very clear about it.

He sighed and said, “Halcyon malicious doctors are equivalent to a poisonous snake hiding in the field. If you’re not careful and get bitten, your life will be in danger. It’s really impossible to guard against them. Thank you for your reminder, Miss Fox. I’ll remember it.”

“Yes, but this news…”

Zuo Ye understood and said, “Mr. Ou and I found this information ourselves. It has nothing to do with Miss Fox.” Melody Fox nodded and took out a small porcelain bottle from the medical bag she carried with her.

“There’s a pill I refined myself. If Silverlake’s people really come looking for Mr. Ge and Old Master Ge doesn’t listen to your persuasion and treats them as a life-saving straw, this pill can temporarily isolate the effect of the malicious doctors’s medicine. However, the effect will still take effect after three days, so if they come looking for me, you have to find me within three days.”

If Ulric Swanson interfered in the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce’s matters, she could not stay out of it.

Zuo Ye took the porcelain bottle with both hands. After thanking her, he could not help but ask, “Miss Fox, forgive me for my shallow understanding of malicious doctors. Please help me resolve my confusion.”

“Ask away.”

“Aren’t malicious doctors only capable of harming people and not saving people?”

“Their main course is indeed the art of harming people, but those who are proficient in herbs more or less know some medical skills to treat people. However, malicious doctors can’t completely treat people. They can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. It looks like it can restore one’s vitality by several units, but it actually consumes a person’s vitality. When the vitality is almost exhausted, the person will be completely hopeless.”

Zuo Ye understood.

“I understand. It’s just like painkillers. It can only relieve pain, but it can’t remove the root cause of the illness. Once the effect wears off, the illness will still be the same. It’s just that malicious doctors’s ‘painkiller’ will be even more fatal.”

“That’s right.”

“Thank you Miss Fox for answering my questions! I understand. I’ll go back and tell Mr. Ou about it.”

“Okay, goodbye.”

“Farewell.”

The two parties said goodbye to each other and coincidentally, Spencer returned.

Melody Fox watched Zuo Ye’s car leave before asking, “How’s the investigation going? Where is Wenwen?”

“She’s on a flight back to Silverlake.”

“Huh?” Melody Fox asked in shock, “What happened?”

“A little more than a few hours ago. According to the surveillance cameras, as soon as you went in for the exam, she stopped at the door for a short while and bought a ticket back to Silverlake. Moreover, she bought the ticket herself and was not coerced by anyone. Also, before she went to the airport, she went to the bank and cashed the check.”

As Spencer spoke, he guessed, “Miss Fox, do you think Miss Zhang didn’t want to work hard after receiving millions of dollars’s compensation, so she directly returned to Silverlake and lay flat? After all, millions of dollars… is enough for ordinary people to squander for the rest of their lives.”

Melody Fox shook her head and said firmly, “No, she’s not that kind of person. I won’t be wrong.”

“Then why is she in such a hurry to go back…”

Melody Fox looked to the south and said, “I think she took the money and went back to see her brother. Moreover, the money was the compensation she deserved. Even if she really gave up on her efforts and took the money to lie flat, we have no right to blame her. Everyone has the right to choose how to live their lives.”

Spencer nodded. “Miss Fox is right. I spoke too much.”

“Let’s go to the hotel.”

She only needed to know that Zhang Wenwen was safe. She would not interfere in other matters, nor would she take the initiative to ask.

Although she and Zhang Wenwen were friends, they were not close enough to interfere in other people’s lives.

In other words, what was wrong with lying flat?

If she could lie down, she would also choose to live a life of lying down, unlike now, where she had to be vigilant and pay attention to everything.

The Insterimond Grand Hotel is less than 100 dollars meters away from Insterimond University.

Melody Fox walked back to the hotel. It was already half past eleven.

A few seconds after Melody Fox rang the doorbell, Ken Swanson opened the door.

“You’re back?” Ken Swanson spread his arms and hugged her tightly.

They were only separated by a few hours, but he still missed her so much.

He did not know if he had been bewitched by her, but as long as he was free, his mind would be filled with her.

Spencer and Aaron Berg were both at the door. Melody Fox pushed Ken Swanson away shyly and said, “How are you recovering?”

“Completely. Look…”

Ken Swanson walked around in front of her and said, “I can now work for three days and three nights without rest.”

Melody Fox said mercilessly, “I think you want to die.”

Even though Spencer and Aaron Berg were used to Melody’s ways of talking to Ken Swanson, they were still shocked when they heard her.

Therefore, the two of them looked at each other and decided not to be third wheels. They left in a flash.

Without the two third wheels, Ken Swanson became even more unrestrained. He hugged her and kissed her.

“Alright, alright…” Melody Fox placed her hands on Ken Swanson’s chest and said, “Why didn’t I see it before? You’re a romantic.”

“Maybe I hid it well.”

“Then why don’t you keep hiding?”

“We’re legally married and protected by the law. What else do I have to hide?”

Melody Fox rolled her eyes and got down to business. “Do you know what Zuo Ye told me?”

Chapter 1028

Ken Swanson thought about it and said, “Thank you for saving Orrick’s life? Or about Zhang Wenwen?”

“You know about Zhang Wenwen?”

“Yes, Spencer reported it to me.”

“I knew it. You didn’t send him to protect me. You sent him to spy on me.”

Although Melody Fox said that, she did not feel any resistance in her heart.

She knew that this was not Ken Swanson’s intention. Instead, he wanted to leave someone for her to follow her orders.

Otherwise, Ken Swanson could have sent someone more powerful than Spencer and Seventeen.

Ken Swanson pinched her face and asked, “Did I guess correctly?”

“No.”

“Oh?” Ken Swanson poured her a glass of water and pretended to be all ears.

Melody Fox took a sip of water before telling him what had happened:

“Grandpa Ge…” Ken Swanson recalled and said, “Grandpa Ge once wanted Orrek to be his son-in-law. Later on, his daughter married someone else, so he gave up on this idea and became friends with Orrek despite their age difference. It’s normal for Orrek to know this news.”

Ken Swanson paused for a moment and asked, “Then did you agree to it?”

Melody Fox shook her head.

“No. Firstly, the influence of the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce is no small matter. I don’t dare to agree rashly on the premise that I can’t cure Old Master Ge 100%. Secondly, I still want to come back and ask your opinion first.”

“Yes. My wife is so obedient. Now you know how to ask me before you make a decision.” Ken Swanson rubbed her head, his eyes filled with praise and relief.

Melody Fox was a little embarrassed.

“You make me feel like a disobedient child.”

“Aren’t you just a child in my eyes?”

“You’re the kid!”

“Okay, I’m a kid.”

Melody Fox pursed her lips and said, “You admit defeat quickly.”

“Isn’t it normal to admit defeat to your wife? Which good man would take his wife seriously? If he did, he would be a fool.”

“You’re quite self-aware.”

“It’s alright.” Ken Swanson pursed his lips and said seriously, “The Jingbei Chamber of Commerce’s position in Halcyon is indeed extraordinary. It’s right that you didn’t agree directly. Moreover, Old Master Ge is a very stubborn person. He only believes in what he believes in and won’t easily trust a stranger. I think if you really went to see him with Orrick, he might not recognize your medical skills since you’re so young.”

“Yes, that’s one point. Also… I think Ulric Swanson will interfere in this matter.”

At the mention of Ulric Swanson, the atmosphere became heavy.

Ken Swanson subconsciously wanted to light a cigarette, but then he remembered that Melody Fox did not like him smoking, so he stopped and said, “He has long wanted to get in touch with the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce. However, the people from the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce are not people who save oil. Before the old man confirms his successor, they will not get too close to either me or Ulric Swanson. This is indeed an opportunity for Ulric Swanson, especially since he now has Jennie Taylor as his trump card.”

“Yes, I think so too. Instead of following Mr. Ou and the others to see Old Master Ge, it’s better to wait and see. If Ulric Swanson doesn’t interfere in this matter, we won’t interfere either. Otherwise, if your father finds out, we won’t be able to explain ourselves.”

“Yes, if we intervene first, with the old man’s temperament, he will definitely immediately target me. He will think that I want to rope in the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce and find help for myself to inherit the Swanson Group in the future.”

“Yes, if Ulric Swanson interferes, we’ll take action again. Moreover, I’ve already given Zuo Ye a pill. It can isolate all the poison of malicious doctors in three days. Of course, it only has the effect in three days.”

“My wife is so smart!”

Ken Swanson’s dark eyes were deep and bright as he looked at Melody Fox and said, “I feel so lucky to have you waiting for me. I must have done a lot of good things in my previous life to meet you in this life.”

“Why? After two days of taking bitter medicine, your mouth has become sweeter?”

“Haven’t I always been such a sweet talker? Do you want to try it?”

Ken Swanson was about to kiss her.

Melody Fox reflexively used her fingers to block Ken Swanson’s lips.

“Stop! Aren’t you ashamed of yourself in broad daylight? I don’t like such a greasy man!”

“Alright, you’re starting to dislike me now.”

Melody Fox pouted. “Alright, I won’t argue with you anymore. It’s time to eat. After dinner, I have to go and see the results. Only by passing the theory test in the morning can I enter the practical test in the afternoon.”

Ken Swanson frowned.

“Why is it so troublesome for Insterimond University to recruit someone? If they know your ability, they will crawl over and kneel in front of you to beg you to go to their school. Why don’t… I just give them a call? One call can save you so much trouble.”

“Don’t.” Melody Fox shook her head and said, “If I really do that, I’ll really be the talk of the town about it. It’s better for me to rely on my own strength to get in. After all, my current identity is not only Melody Fox but also your wife. I also want… to be someone who is worthy of you in the eyes of others.”

“It doesn’t matter what other people think. As long as I know you’re worth it.”

“That’s true… Anyway, just do as I say.”

“Alright!” Ken Swanson saw that she was insistent and did not continue persuading her. He only asked, “What do you want to eat for lunch?”

Melody Fox rolled her eyes and said, “I heard that the roast duck in the hotel is very good. Why don’t we eat in the hotel? It will save us the trouble of running back and forth.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Ken Swanson made a call and asked Aaron Berg to arrange lunch at the hotel.

After the call, Melody Fox stood up and was about to leave when she was pulled back by Ken Swanson.

“What happened?”

Melody Fox had just asked when she saw Ken Swanson staring at her like a wild wolf.

With just one glance, Melody Fox understood his gaze.

Two pink clouds immediately floated up her cheeks.

“Don’t… It’s broad daylight.”

“What are you afraid of in broad daylight? We are legally married,” Ken Swanson said as he pulled her into the bedroom.

“Ken Swanson!” Melody Fox said angrily, “It’s almost lunchtime!”

“There’s no hurry. It’ll take them a while to serve the food. I’ll be quick.”

Melody Fox could not dissuade Ken Swanson, and she did enjoy being intimate with Ken Swanson. In the end, she still half-pushed herself onto the bed.

After not doing it for a few days, the two of them missed each other.

Ken Swanson in particular.

His kisses were urgent and passionate. His usually cold thin lips were now as hot as a hundred degrees. Wherever the kiss landed, it was scorching hot.

Soon, his lips left hers and landed on her neck, tasting it carefully.

In his confusion, Melody Fox suddenly realized that he still had an exam in the afternoon. She quickly covered her neck and said, “Don’t do anything rash! Someone will see my neck…”

However, it was already too late.

A light red mark had already been imprinted on her fair and slender neck.

Melody Fox was a little annoyed.

“It’s all your fault!”

Ken Swanson smiled gently and said, “It should fade soon… It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t fade. Anyway, we’re legally married. Who dares to say that we’re not?”

Chapter 1029

However, in this way, the two of them no longer had the same thoughts as before and calmed down.

However, Ken Swanson still hugged Melody Fox tightly and buried his nose in her hair.

“Your hair smells so good, and you smell like milk.”

He sighed from the bottom of his heart. His wife was really a treasure trove. Every place was to his liking.

He did not like the smell of perfume, but he liked the smell of Melody Fox. It had a magic that could calm people down.

Melody Fox was a little embarrassed.

“There’s no milk fragrance. I don’t drink milk. Also, I didn’t wash my hair yesterday. It should smell like oil.”

“Don’t talk about yourself like that. Anyway, in my heart, you are the best. Also, I heard that when someone really likes someone, they will smell the fragrance of milk on her body. I didn’t believe it in the past, but now I believe it. It’s true.” Ken Swanson did not hide his preference for her.

A blissful smile spread across Melody Fox’s lips.

She could not help but think of the time she had with Ulric Swanson in her previous life. Not to mention this kind of skin-to-skin contact, even if they were just holding hands, Ulric Swanson would quickly let go of her hand for various reasons.

Love or not, it was actually very obvious. It was just that the person who was in a daze could not see clearly.

Melody Fox closed her eyes and hugged Ken Swanson back.

Neither of them spoke again, but the silence at this moment was more than a thousand words.

Not long after, Aaron Berg called.

Ken Swanson pressed the answer button and Aaron Berg;

said, “Sir, lunch is ready. It’s in Room 1 on the second floor of the hotel.”

“Okay.”

Ken Swanson hung up the phone and kissed Melody Fox’s forehead. “You go first. I’m going to take a shower. I haven’t even washed my face properly for the past few days.”

Melody Fox touched Ken Swanson’s stubbled chin and smiled. “Alright, I know you’re a clean freak. It’s indeed uncomfortable to stay up for a few days. I’ll let you take a shower. I’ll go down first, then?”

“Yeah.”

During his illness, Melody Fox did not even let him touch raw water, let alone take a shower. Therefore, after getting Melody Fox’s approval, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief and took a change of clothes into the bathroom.

Melody Fox shook her head helplessly and went out with a smile.

However, as soon as Melody Fox entered the elevator, he bumped into an acquaintance inside, Pamela Clark.

Jian Huan was following behind Pamela Clark. The two of them were clearly talking about something shameful just now, so when the elevator door opened, the conversation immediately stopped.

“It’s you.”

Before Melody Fox could speak, Pamela Clark was the first to speak. He said in an extremely unfriendly tone, “How unlucky! Why are you everywhere?”

Melody Fox ignored Pamela Clark and pressed the button for the second floor of the restaurant.

“Hey! I’m asking you a question. Are you deaf?”

Melody Fox shrugged lightly and stared at the floor number displayed on the elevator. “I’m sorry, I don’t understand the dog barking.”

“You-“

Pamela Clark stepped forward to fight with Melody Fox, but Jian Huan pulled her back forcefully.

“Don’t argue with her. There’s no need,” Jian Huan said very restrainedly.

Pamela Clark could only suppress her anger, but her eyes were still fixed on Melody Fox, wishing she could kill her with her gaze.

Jian Huan was not in a good mood either.

If not for the fact that Melody Fox had deliberately raised the price of Green Velvet medicine at the auction house, She would not have needed to spend all of its available liquidity on Green Velvet alone.

Later on, they even took the risk to find a martial arts practitioner to go to the Taylor family and ask for Green Velvet’s supplementary medicine.

If it weren’t for Melody Fox, their family wouldn’t have ended up like this!

When she thought about how something would happen to Taylor sooner or later when the son and his father’s illness acted up, their branch family would be implicated.

On the other hand, Pamela Clark wished she could tear Melody Fox into pieces.

Of course, she also knew that the biggest reason why she was forced to find a way out and work hard to get into Insterimond University was because the Clark of the main family had abandoned her.

However, she could not settle these accounts with the main family for the time being. She could only put it all on Melody Fox first.

As soon as the elevator dinged and the doors slowly opened.

Melody Fox was just about to walk out when she heard Jian Huan, who had just advised Pamela Clark not to argue with her, suddenly speak.

“Miss Fox, the heavens are watching. What you’ve done will be retribution on you sooner or later.”

Melody Fox turned her head and calmly met Jian Huan’s poisonous eyes.

“I don’t understand what Miss Murphy means.”

Jian Huan snorted coldly.

“Weren’t you the one who deliberately raised the price of the Green Velvet medicine at the auction?”

Melody Fox was amused.

“Miss Murphy also knows that it’s an auction? Since it’s an auction, doesn’t everyone have the right to bid? Could it be that the rules of the auction have to be set according to your requirements?”

“You-“

Jian Huan’s expression darkened. From the corner of her eye, she saw Pamela Clark beside her and said, “Then is it right for you to destroy Pamela Clark’s partnership with the Swanson Group for the benefit of your family?”

“My own interests? What a joke! I’ve already cut ties with the Fox family. Why should I cooperate with them? Looks like Miss Murphy doesn’t know why the Clark Group lost this cooperation.”

Jian Huan was stunned and subconsciously looked at Pamela Clark.

Seeing that Pamela Clark’s eyes were filled with guilt, She realized that Pamela Clark’s accusation of Melody Fox was untenable.

She gritted her teeth in anger, but Melody Fox spoke again, “However, I can return to you what Miss Murphy said just now. God is watching what you do. Aren’t you afraid of retribution for what you’ve done? Let me remind you kindly that retribution will come soon.”

The expression on Jian Huan’s face instantly froze, and a huge sense of panic and guilt spread throughout her body.

“W-What do you mean…”

Could it be that Melody Fox knew what her family had done to the Taylor family?

This was impossible… If Taylor’s family already knew about it, why didn’t they expose them and let the fake priest return with a support potion?

“Speak clearly! What do you mean by that?”

Melody Fox ignored Jian Huan. Before the elevator door was about to close completely, she pressed the button to open the door again and walked out.

“Melody Fox! Stop right there!”

Jian Huan was about to follow her when Pamela Clark quickly pulled her back and asked, “Sister Huan, what’s wrong? Didn’t you tell me not to be rash? Why are you…”

Jian Huan looked at Melody Fox’s back as she left. She gritted her teeth hard and finally retreated.

Perhaps Melody Fox was just scaring her on purpose. She could not panic.

Jian Huan took a deep breath and met Pamela Clark’s puzzled gaze. “It’s fine. Her words are just too infuriating.” “Then the retribution she mentioned will come soon…”

“Could it be that she can’t say anything good? On the other hand, what’s going on with your family? Didn’t you say that your family was innocent when the Swanson Group canceled the collaboration?”

At the mention of that, Pamela Clark immediately felt guilty again.

However, how could she reveal the truth that she had bullied Zara Wentworth and thus lost the cooperation?

Chapter 1030

If she really said it out loud, Jian Huan would probably have a problem with her.

It was not easy for her to curry favor with her. She could not destroy the friendship she had painstakingly built so easily.

Pamela Clark quickly thought about it. Then, she deliberately pretended to be angry and said, “Sister Huan, don’t listen to her. She’s like this. She likes to blame others for her mistakes.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if I was at fault for that matter, she was the one who directly caused my family’s collaboration to be canceled. She was the one who had to bear the most responsibility.

Moreover, she was clearly the one who deliberately raised the price at the auction. Wasn’t she the one who criticized him?

“In short, you can’t believe a word that a woman like her says. You’ll only be able to distort the truth.”

Jian Huan agreed with this sentence.

“You’re right. This woman is very scheming. We have to deal with her carefully. How did you do in the exam this morning?”

“It’s alright. Although there are a few problems, the last Fox people I checked reacted. It shouldn’t be a problem to get a high score.”

There was something else that Pamela Clark didn’t say. That was that her father had bribed a few other powerful candidates. Their scores wouldn’t be higher than hers.

Jian Huan nodded and said, “There’s only one person in each subject. The second and third places are useless. If you occupy the first place, she can only put her hopes behind…”

“Don’t worry,” Pamela Clark said confidently. “She won’t even qualify for the exam in the afternoon, let alone first place.”

“Oh? What do you mean?”

Coincidentally, the elevator arrived on the first floor.

Pamela Clark immediately excitedly told her about the morning exam, Melody Fox sleeping and submitting her paper in advance.

“Heh.” Jian Huan laughed mockingly and said, “Looks like she doesn’t have much confidence in this subject herself.”

“That’s right. I wonder what’s wrong with her. How dare she sign up for fashion design.”

Jian Huan raised her eyebrows and said, “Alright, I understand. It’ll be up to me tomorrow. She can’t beat me in Halcyon. As for women’s mixed martial arts, I’ve also found someone. She definitely can’t beat the person I’ve found.”

Pamela Clark nodded repeatedly. Then, he remembered something and asked, “Who did you say you were bringing me to?”

“Teacher Tang.”

Jian Huan said indifferently, “She’s a teacher at

Insterimond University who teaches fashion design. She’s also the team leader. Before she came to Insterimond University to teach, she was a very famous fashion designer. It was only after she got married and had children that she changed her profession. Oh, right, the person in charge of invigilating you this morning was Teacher Tang. Moreover, she’s also one of the main teachers in charge of giving marks for the practical exam in the afternoon.”

“Oh… her! I should have told her about you after the exam.”

“Yes. It’s not too late to see her now. Give her some benefits of the doubt so that you can get first place in the afternoon exam.”

Jian Huan said excitedly and gratefully, “Thank you! Sister Huan, you’ve helped me a lot! I’m not 100% sure that I can get first place in the theoretical test. I’m counting on the practical test in the afternoon to pull my score up.”

Although her father had bribed some examinees, it was impossible for him to bribe all the examinees. Therefore, it was extremely beneficial for her to know Teacher Tang. Jian Huan shrugged. “It’s just a small matter. There’s no need to thank me.”

Anyway, she wants Pamela Clark to get first place, & She wants Melody Fox to not get first place.

As long as it wasn’t Melody Fox, it didn’t matter to her who was first.

If she had known that Melody Fox’s fashion design ability was so bad that she could not even pass the theory, she would not have bothered to help Pamela Clark contact Teacher Tang.

However, since he had already made an appointment to treat her to a meal, it was not good to stand her up now. He might as well sell Pamela Clark a favor.

However, she suppressed Melody Fox not only to take revenge for the auction but also to express her goodwill in front of Janet Murphy.

Although she hated the main family, the main family was also her best support.

If she succeeded in suppressing Melody Fox, with Janet Murphy’s personality, she would definitely speak up for her in front of the main family.

At that time, she didn’t mind suppressing her hatred for the main family. When she was truly strong, she would take revenge on the main family.

She had always been such a person who prioritized benefits and emotions.

In the dining room.

Not long after Melody Fox sat down, Ken Swanson came over.

After taking a shower and shaving, Ken Swanson looked extremely handsome. He looked energetic and did not look sick at all.

Melody Fox handed the bowl over. She knew what Ken Swanson was thinking, so she simply said, “I know you’re itching. Go get busy after dinner. I’ve never seen a workaholic like you.”

Ken Swanson smiled gently and said, “Aren’t you the same? That’s why you said that we’re the most compatible.”

“Tsk! Who’s with you and me? Don’t look at me like this. I know very well that my body is everything.”

Ken Swanson shrugged. He picked up the duck leg with the roast duck and said to her, “There’s no hurry. Shi Kai has already brought people to Ou Jing to sign the contract. He doesn’t need me there for the time being. After dinner, I’ll accompany you to see the announced results. It won’t be too late to go to the company.”

Melody Fox picked up the fork and put another duck leg into Ken Swanson’s bowl.

“You should eat too. You seem to have lost a few pounds in the past two days. I have to think of a way to make up for it for you.”

“Then I’ll thank my wife. I’ll strive to gain weight quickly so that you can give birth to a fair and chubby boy as soon as possible.”

“You…-“

Melody Fox saw from the corner of her eye that Aaron Berg and Spencer were holding back their laughter. She glared at Ken Swanson with a red face.

Shi Kai from the Insterimond branch also brought a group of people to the front of the European Crystal branch building.

Shi Kai originally wanted to come over earlier, but Ou Jing’s schedule was really too full. When it was his turn, it was already 11:30 p.m., just in time for dinner.

“I wonder if they still have time to see me at this moment. It’s not popular to work overtime in Ou Jing, but they usually get off work when it’s time to finish what they’re doing. Boss Shi, what should we do if there’s a problem with the contract?”

Assistant Hou asked with a worried expression.

“Pfft, pfft, pfft!”

Shi Kai spat a few times and said, “Don’t say such inauspicious words! The contract will definitely go smoothly!”

“Yes, I’m a child. I take back what I said just now. God, don’t take it seriously.” Assistant Hou clasped his hands together and prayed.

“They’re the ones who arranged for us to meet at this point. It’s impossible for them not to see us. If they really don’t see us, we’ll stay here until the team they’re in charge of signing the contract is willing to see us.”

However, although Shi Kai said that, he was not confident.

There were too many people who wanted to stay at Ou Jing’s door. They were already lucky to be able to step through this door.

Shi Kai looked at the time. It was time to make an appointment, so he quickly led a group of people to the front desk.

He walked to the front desk with a fawning smile on his face and said carefully, “Little girl, we’ve made an appointment with your company to sign the contract. It’s about eleven thirty. Can you help me pass the word?”

The receptionist looked up at Shi Kai in surprise.

“Around 11:30? You’re not mistaken, are you, sir? Other than the front desk and the security department, all the other departments of our company get off work at 1130 a.m. They don’t start work until two in the afternoon.”

Chapter 1031

When Shi Kai heard the receptionist’s words, he panicked even more.

He asked nervously, “Are you sure everyone has gotten off work? Is there no one in the signing team?”

“It’s just arrived. He’s probably on his way downstairs. But…”

The girl paused for a moment and kindly reminded him, “Our company usually won’t work during break time, so even if you wait for them later, they won’t use their private time to deal with business. Therefore, I’m afraid your appointment is invalid. You should confirm it yourself first.”

“My receptionist should be valid. I’ve already received your appointment email. If you don’t believe me, take a look…”

Shi Kai quickly opened the email. However, after he handed it to the little girl to read, the receptionist shook her head and said, “People always make mistakes. Even for our Ou Jing, there will be cases of emails being sent mistakenly. This email might have made a mistake. After two in the afternoon, contact the signing department to take a look.”

“But it’ll be too late if we do it in the afternoon. Your project this time clearly states that the partners will be announced at four o’clock in the afternoon. There are more than two hours left for legal departments on both sides, not to mention that if there are any clauses that need to be amended or delayed, two hours will not be enough.”

The receptionist said helplessly, “I’m sorry. Even if it’s too late, there’s nothing we can do.”

Shi Kai lowered his stance and said shamelessly, “Young lady, can you make an exception and let me up? Perhaps they really plan to work overtime?”

The receptionist said firmly, “That’s impossible. I’ve been in office for two years, but I’ve never seen them working overtime. Moreover, there are having lunch after work. Even I can’t call them casually.”

Shi Kai clasped his hands together and said humbly, “Please, little sister. This project is really important to us. Just let me go up and meet them.”

The receptionist spread her hands and said, “It’s useless for you to tell me this. I’m just a receptionist. I don’t have the right to go upstairs casually. Without their approval, my employee card can’t swipe the elevator. You can’t go up.”

Shi Kai was speechless. He could only leave the front desk first and discuss it with his subordinates.

When Assistant Hou saw that Shi Kai had returned, he quickly went forward and asked, “President Shi, what did the receptionist say?”

Actually, there was no need for Shi Kai to say anything. It was obvious from the expression on Shi Kai’s face.

As expected, Shi Kai shook his head and said, “They said that they’ve already gotten off work. They asked us to come back at two in the afternoon.”

The people from the legal department behind him quickly said, “It’s not enough at two o’clock. They’re going to announce their partners at four in the afternoon.”

Shi Kai said with a dark expression, “How could I not know? But there’s no other way now except to wait for them to go to work. Who asked Ou Jing’s working environment to be like this?”

Speaking of which, compared to Halcyon’s in-volume work environment, Europe’s work environment was really good. Under normal circumstances, they would never let their employees work more than eight jobs.

If they exceeded it, they would pay a high overtime fee.

It was no wonder that everyone wanted to join the Oujing Group.

However, this benefit now seriously inconvenienced the people in the Insterimond branch.

At that moment, someone could not help but guess, “President Shi, do you think… Ou Jing’s people are dissatisfied with our contract, so they deliberately signed the contract with us at this time?”

Assistant Hou opened his mouth and wanted to say, “No normal person would be satisfied with this contract.” However, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Shi Kai looked at Assistant Hou’s expression and naturally knew what he was thinking.

And it wasn’t just Assistant Hou and the others. Even he felt that way now.

If he really wanted to sign a contract with them, why did he have to make an appointment until after work?

Wasn’t this deliberately making things difficult for them with Ou Jing’s employee benefits?

Could it be that Ou Jing’s original plan was to delay so that they could not sign the contract? Then, they would find another contract regulation that was more beneficial to Ou Jing’s company?

This thought was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing Shi Kai’s excitement at the success of the collaboration.

“President Shi, what should we do now? Are we just going to wait here for them to start work at two o’clock?”

“Of course, we can’t wait until 2:00 in the afternoon.”

Shi Kai gritted his teeth and said, “Didn’t some of you come into contact with Ou Jing’s legal department? Keep an eye on the elevator door. If you see the people from their legal department coming out, we’ll go over!”

“This…” The employee from the legal department said with a troubled expression, “They’re famous for not doing work after work. Even if we stop them, it won’t help.”

“That’s still better than waiting stupidly and not doing anything!”

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.

However, someone could not help but complain in a low voice, “Mrs. Swanson should not have taken out such a contract. Which company would be willing to sign it…”

Shi Kai happened to hear the complaint.

His face darkened and he said, “What are you talking about? How can you say that about Mrs. Swanson? If it wasn’t for her, we wouldn’t even be able to enter Ou Jing’s door!”

The employee said boldly, “We’re here now, but what’s the use of coming in?”

“You…-“

Just as Shi Kai was about to flare up at the employee, an employee from the legal department suddenly said, “President Shi! It’s the people from the legal department.”

Shi Kai couldn’t be bothered to reprimand the employee. He looked up at the elevator.

A group of people followed a blond man out of the elevator.

The man in the lead was dressed in a well-ironed suit. From the material, it was obvious that it was custom-made and had an extraordinary aura.

Shi Kai recognized him at a glance. He was indeed the person in charge of Area Halcyon of Oujing Group, Mike. His Chinese name was Mai.

Halcyon directly called him “Boss Mai”.

At a charity event, Shi Kai had met Mike before, so he recognized him at a glance.

The legal staff also recognized Mike, but he recognized Mike’s face through the financial magazine.

The employee’s face darkened. “The people from the legal department are following behind CEO Mai. Should we… not disturb them? If CEO Mai gets angry, we’ll be completely doomed.”

Mike was from Europe.

As everyone knew, Europeans hated to be stopped from work after working hours.

If he really offended Mike, he would definitely not be able to sign this contract.

Shi Kai was conflicted for a while, but in the end, he decided not to go over first.

He turned his head and instructed Assistant Hou in a low voice, “Listen carefully. Bring the people from our legal department and follow them. Call us after they separate from CEO Mai.”

“Yes…”

Assistant Hou braced himself and agreed.

Assistant Hou glanced at it from the corner of his eye…

Chapter 1032

Assistant Hou originally wanted to use his peripheral vision to see where Ou Jing’s higher-ups had gone. However, when he glanced at them from the corner of his eye, he realized that they were not walking towards the door, but in their direction.

The two rows of people were now less than 30 feet meters away.

Assistant Hou’s nerves tensed up.

He quickly tugged at Shi Kai’s sleeve and lowered his voice. “President Shi, bad news. President Mai and the others seem to be walking towards us.”

“Our side? How is that possible…”

Shi Kai did not even need to think to know that with his status, let alone whether Ou Jing, CEO Mai, would remember a shrimp soldier like him.

Even if the other party had a good memory and really remembered him, it was impossible for CEO Mai to specially come over to greet him.

However, Assistant Hou kept tugging at his sleeve. Shi Kai could only turn his head to look at CEO Mai and the others.

However, he would not have known if he had not seen it. When he saw it, Shi Kai was shocked.

CEO Mai and the others were really walking straight towards them.

The door was far from their direction, so they couldn’t go the wrong way.

Shi Kai subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him. He saw that there was no one else behind him, including the people from Division Insterimond.

Could it be that CEO Mai was really here for them?

The answer seemed to be yes.

But why was CEO Mai walking towards them?

Could it be…

Shi Kai and Assistant Hou looked at each other and saw fear in each other’s eyes.

Could it be that the other party wanted to hold them accountable for the overlord contract, so CEO Mai personally came to tell them that the contract was invalid?

If this was invalidated, how was he going to explain it to Mrs. Swanson and the young master when he returned?

At the thought of this possibility, Shi Kai was already trembling in fear. Even his chest felt a little uncomfortable.

Assistant Hou keenly sensed Shi Kai’s reaction and hurriedly went forward to support him, lest Shi Kai vomited blood and fainted again.

Shi Kai smiled helplessly and said, “What haven’t I seen? You don’t have to help me! As long as you don’t anger me, I won’t fall easily!”

Even if CEO Mai did not acknowledge the overlord contract, they still brought the original contract. That contract was very fair to both parties. If it really did not work, he would use that contract.

In any case, it was better than losing this project.

Shi Kai had an idea in his heart, so he took the initiative to meet Mike’s gaze and strode forward with his men.

“Hello, CEO Mai.” Shi Kai lowered his stance and said extremely politely, “I really didn’t expect to meet you today. I’m really lucky. You might not remember me, but let me introduce myself first. My name is Shi Kai. I’m the general manager of the Swanson Group in the Insterimond branch.”

Mike smiled and said, “I remember you, but it’s not that you’re lucky. I came specially to look for you.”

As Mike spoke, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Shi Kai and said, “Then let me introduce myself again. I’m Mike.”

When Shi Kai saw Mike take the initiative to hand over his hand, he was stunned.

Although he was stunned, his body reflexively grabbed Mike’s hand.

“Hello, hello. You said… you especially came to look for me?”

“That’s right.” Mike smiled again and said, “Aren’t you here to sign the contract? Sorry to keep you waiting. It’s mealtime now. If you don’t mind, I’ll treat you to a meal with your employees?”

Shi Kai’s eyes widened in shock. He could not believe it, nor did he know what CEO Mai was up to.

Could it be that they really wanted to cancel the collaboration?

However, he still quickly nodded and said, “It’s our honor to be able to eat with you, but how can we let you treat us? Let’s treat you!”

“It’s fine. I’ve already booked a place in advance. It’s at the Halcyon restaurant opposite the company. Please come with us.”

“Of, of course. Please.”

“Please.”

The two of them exchanged excuses and finally walked side by side towards the restaurant opposite the company.

Along the way, Shi Kai, Assistant Hou, and the others were all dumbfounded.

Assistant Hou wanted to retreat.

Eating with Mike was something he didn’t even dare to think about in his life!

Shi Kai was thinking the same thing. There must be a reason for this abnormality.

Therefore, he was fully focused and kept his back straight the entire time.

The distance from Ou Jing to the restaurant was only about 200 feet meters, but Shi Kai was exhausted from the short journey.

The others were even more tense than Shi Kai.

Fortunately, they had finally arrived at the restaurant.

An employee behind Mike greeted the waiter first. The waiter immediately led the two groups of people into their largest private room respectfully.

The large round table in this private room could accommodate 25 people, and the two groups of people could sit down.

However, what made Shi Kai even more frightened was that Mike actually gave him the main seat and even took the initiative to pull out a chair for him.

Shi Kai tried to shirk responsibility, but in the end, he could not refuse and sat down in fear and trepidation.

“CEO Mai, you…”

“Try this dish first.” CEO Mai transferred a plate of vegetable dishes on the table to Shi Kai and said, “Don’t underestimate this vegetable, but their family makes it very well. I heard that you’re from the south, CEO Shi. This dish is sweet and salty. I think you’ll like it.”

Shi Kai became even more terrified and uneasy.

Mike actually asked about this!

Wasn’t he trying to cancel the collaboration?

Now, apparently, Mike was giving them a candy bar and then slapping them in the face.

Therefore, even though the candy was already in his mouth, Shi Kai tasted an incomparably bitter taste.

“How is it? Does it suit Boss Shi’s taste?” Mike’s Mandarin was quite good. If one did not listen carefully, they would not be able to tell that he was not Halcyon people.

Shi Kai forced a smile and nodded. “It suits my taste, but it’s quite good! Thank you, CEO Mai, for letting me know about this restaurant. I’ll definitely come and eat often in the future.”

“You can call me when you come to eat in the future. Our company works with this restaurant. If you come with me, you can enjoy our discount.”

“Yes, yes… As long as you have time, I’ll accompany you for dinner.”

“Hahahaha, President Shi, you’re too polite. I should be the one eating with you. Alright, let’s not talk about it for now. Hurry up and eat. The dishes won’t taste good when they’re cold.”

Shi Kai nodded repeatedly and stuffed a few mouthfuls of the vegetables into his mouth.

Even though it tasted like chewing wax, he still tried his best to eat it with an expression of delicacy.

Shi Kai was like this, and so were the others.

Assistant Hou’s expression was not as good as Shi Kai’s. His smile was uglier than his crying.

Everyone knew that Ou Jing’s employees had completely inherited the way the Europeans did things.

Halcyon people liked to talk about things at the dining table, but Europeans did not.

But now, the Europeans had taken the initiative to ask them out for a meal at Fox. Wasn’t this canceling the cooperation?

The atmosphere of the meal froze to the bottom.

Finally, Mike put down the fork first.

Chapter 1033

When Shi Kai saw Mike put down a fork, he immediately put it down.

“Mr. Shi is full?” Mike asked.

Shi Kai immediately nodded and said, “I’m full. I just don’t know… Boss Mai, why did you treat me to a meal today?”

He deliberately pretended to be stupid.

Mike was stunned for a moment before asking, “CEO Shi, don’t you know why I’m treating you to a meal? Aren’t you here to sign the contract?”

“He’s here to sign the contract…” Shi Kai braced himself and said, “The one who’s talking with us doesn’t seem to be you?”

Mike smiled and said, “You’re talking about Meng Hui, right? Meng Hui, come over and say hello to President Shi.”

Meng Hui, whose name was called, immediately stood up from his seat and brought a glass of wine to Shi Kai.

“President Shi, I’m Meng Hui, the person who contacted you in the email. Let me toast you.”

Shi Kai hurriedly stood up and clinked glasses with Meng Hui nervously.

Meng Hui is one of the Halcyon people. When he saw the nervous expression on Shi Kai’s face, he roughly guessed the reason why Shi Kai was so nervous.

He smiled and said politely, “President Shi, you don’t have to be so nervous. We sincerely want to cooperate with your Insterimond branch. The higher-ups instructed us to specially treat you to this meal.”

“A-above?” Shi Kai could not help but glance at Mike.

Wasn’t Mike the person in charge of the highest level of Ou Jing?

Moreover, anyone who stood up for Ou Jing in the room would be called “the person above Ou Jing” by the people outside.

Who else could have a higher status than Mike and the others?

Soon, a name popped up in Shi Kai’s mind.

“Mr. Zuo?”

Meng Hui shook his head and said, “It’s not Mr. Zuo.”

“And that is?”

“It’s our CEO, Mr. O’Rourke.”

“W…-What?!”

Shi Kai was even more shocked than when Mike walked towards them.

He had only heard of Orrek’s name and had never seen him before. How could he have specially told him… Could it be… Mrs. Swanson?

In an instant, as long as he connected with Melody Fox in his mind, everything that could not be explained could be answered at this moment.

Meng Hui nodded and said, “You didn’t hear by mistake. Mr. Orrick personally called us and instructed us to follow your Insterimond branch’s habits. That’s why we arranged lunch.”

“Y-you’re saying that you made reservations for time until 11:30 for this meal?”

“Exactly.”

“But… isn’t this your break time when you get off work?”

Meng Hui and Mike looked at each other and smiled. Mike patiently explained to Shi Kai, “There are exceptions to everything. We naturally have to abide by the CEO’s arrangements. I just don’t know if we didn’t treat this meal well…”

“N-no! You’ve treated us very well! Let’s hurry up and welcome them home!”

“That’s good.”

Mike visibly relaxed and said, “From the way you’re eating, I thought we’d upset you with something we didn’t do well.”

Shi Kai did not know whether to laugh or cry.

“No, no… I’m just too nervous about eating with you!”

“Haha, there’s nothing to be nervous about. I only have a nose and a mouth. I’m no different from an ordinary person. But in the end, I’m making you nervous because I’m not enthusiastic enough. When I go back, I’ll apologize to the president.”

“No, no, please don’t! You’ll shorten my lifespan!”

“President Shi, you’re really humorous. However, since you don’t blame me, I won’t apologize?”

“Of course, there’s no need to apologize!”

He was so excited that he was about to cry!

If he had known that this was the truth, he would definitely have had a good meal! He wouldn’t have been unaware of what he had eaten the entire time.

If he had known…

Sigh!

However, he didn’t know anything beforehand. Now that things had come to this, he could only try his best to make up for it.

Shi Kai took the initiative to pour Mike a glass of wine and said, “Thank you for your warm hospitality today. We can’t thank you enough! Let me toast you and wish us a smooth cooperation!”

“Alright, the collaboration went well.”

When the two cups touched, the atmosphere finally relaxed completely.

Assistant Hou almost cried tears of joy.

He finally dared to toast with Ou Jing employees, who were sitting beside him.

After three rounds of drinks, the two groups of people moved to the resting area beside the private room to talk about business.

By the time all the procedures were confirmed, it was already an hour later.

Originally, according to their expectations, they needed at least two hours.

However, Ou Jing was too easy to talk to. Not only did they accept all the regulations, but she even took the initiative to ask if they needed to add something more beneficial to the Swanson Group.

Of course, Shi Kai did not dare to push his luck, so the cooperation was quickly confirmed.

Ou Jing also showed them the public announcement document. In front of Shi Kai, she sent out a public announcement confirming the cooperation.

Shi Kai let out a long breath, and the huge rock completely fell.

However, even after they watched Mike and the others leave, everyone was still in a daze.

“Assistant Hou.” Shi Kai tugged at Assistant Hou’s sleeve and said, “Come, pinch me.”

“Huh?”

“I want to see if I’m dreaming.”

Assistant Hou finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. He was so excited that he cried.

“You’re not dreaming! President Shi, we’re not dreaming! The project has been successfully signed.”

Shi Kai’s eyes were also a little hot.

At that moment, the employee who had questioned Melody Fox in the Origin Crystal Hall stood up and took the initiative to apologize to Shi Kai.

“President Shi, it’s all my fault. I was blind and stupid. I actually dared to question Mrs. Swanson’s ability. I apologize and sincerely repent! I’m sorry!”

Why would Shi Kai care about such a small matter?

He waved his hand and said, “You’re not wrong. If it’s my responsibility, I’m also responsible. I misled everyone and made you think that Ou Jing’s people booked the appointment until 11:30 pm on purpose to snub us and make things difficult for them.”

“No, it’s all my fault…”

Shi Kai smiled and patted the employee’s shoulder. “Alright, none of us did anything wrong. If you really feel guilty, then do your best! Signing an official contract is just the beginning. We have to work on the project for three years! In these three years, we have to stay awake for hours. Don’t let Ou Jing company feel that they regret working with us.”

“Yes! I’ll definitely work hard!”

The group of people was happy and harmonious.

On the way back, Shi Kai called Melody Fox and talked about the successful start of the collaboration.

Melody Fox had just finished eating. She glanced at Ken Swanson, who was looking at her beside her. She held her phone tightly and said, “Yes, you’ve done well. You’ve worked hard. Ken Swanson’s body has recovered. Just contact him about what happened before.”

“We’re not working hard! I’m the one who disturbed you.”

“Well, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”

“Yes!”

Shi Kai waited until Melody Fox hung up before putting down his phone. His eyes were filled with admiration for Melody Fox.

Chapter 1034

To be honest, in the beginning, although he respected Ms. Fox, he did not understand why the young master, who was like a banished immortal, would marry a… wife whose image was indescribable.

Now he understood.

Melody Fox’s charisma and ability were definitely not something ordinary makeup could compare to.

Now, when Shi Kai thought about how Ms. Fox was unwilling to tell her the reason for his call when he first spoke to Melody Fox, he felt as uncomfortable as ten thousand ants crawling in his heart.

Fortunately, he still told Melody Fox about the situation in the end. Otherwise, he could be 100% sure that this cooperation was almost impossible to complete.

Melody Fox hung up the phone. Not long after, Ken Swanson also received a call from Shi Kai.

Ken Swanson said, “Got it. Remember to follow up on the cooperation first.” Then, he hung up.

After saying that, Ken Swanson looked at Melody Fox with a faint smile.

Melody Fox noticed his gaze and could not help but curl her lips. She asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Ken Swanson shrugged and said, “I’m just relieved.”

“Relieved about what?”

“Shi Kai is a person who recognizes his master. According to the past, if we successfully collaborate, with Ou Jing Group, he will definitely report to me. However, his first reaction was not to call me but to call you…

“What?” Melody Fox joked, “In Shi Kai’s heart, my status is higher than yours now, so you’re jealous? Or are you afraid that I’ll poach Shi Kai?”

Ken Swanson poured her a glass of lemonade and said, “Drink it! It’s sour, but I’m not. In my heart, the two of us have long been one. Why should I be afraid of you poaching him? I just… I can feel surprises from you every time. But I think that Aaron Berg can be taken care of by you. It seems too normal to take care of Shi Kai.”

“I’m just… just… lucky.”

“Luck is luck. Strength is what determines success or failure in the end. If you insist on saying that you’re lucky, then there’s nothing I can do. I’ll treat you as my little koi.”

“…” She didn’t know how to respond.

It was a very ordinary way of addressing her, but when Ken Swanson looked at her with such a gentle gaze, these three words became very subtle.

When the atmosphere became tense, Ken Swanson could not help but kiss her forehead. He said sincerely, “You don’t know how lucky I am that you’re willing to choose me and be with me for the rest of your life.”

Melody Fox suddenly thought of the dream she had.

If it was as she had guessed, it was not a dream, but something that had really happened after she died in her previous life…

In that case, their bond had already been laid out for this life in their previous life.

They seemed to be fated to be together.

Melody Fox could not help but say, “Actually… I also often feel that it’s like a dream for us to be together.”

Ken Swanson kissed her forehead again.

“It’s not a dream. It’s not a dream. I’ll spend the rest of my life proving that you made the right choice.”

Melody Fox’s lips curled up slightly.

“Alright, then I’ll test you for the rest of my life.”

Regardless of whether it was a dream or not, regardless of what had happened after she died in her previous life, she still chose to believe in love this time.

If the heavens were to take pity on her, she shouldn’t let her make the wrong choice.

If her life should be let down by a man, she believed that she could protect herself. Even if she lost her love, she would not lose her hard-earned life again.

And now, she was willing to trust the man in front of her wholeheartedly.

“Ken Swanson.” Melody Fox suddenly said, “There is something very important, or rather, a secret that no one knows. When we return to Silverlake, I want to tell you.”

Ken Swanson looked at her in shock. Then, a great surprise surged in his heart.

He knew that there had always been a mystery about her, a mystery that he could not get an answer to no matter what.

The secret that Melody Fox wanted to tell him could probably solve the doubts in his heart.

He had wanted to ask her this question for a long time, but he still chose to “wait.”

He waited for Melody Fox to tell him voluntarily.

Now, this day seemed to have finally arrived.

Ken Swanson’s heart was in turmoil, but his face was still as calm as ever.

“Okay, let’s find a quiet place at Fox and talk slowly.”

“Yup!”

In the blink of an eye, the names of the candidates who had entered the second round of the examination were announced.

Ken Swanson insisted on going to Insterimond University with her to see the results. Melody Fox could not persuade him, so she could only find a mask and put it on Ken Swanson.

Ken Swanson frowned in dissatisfaction and asked, “Am I that unpresentable?”

Melody Fox patted the back of Ken Swanson’s hand.

“Our relationship hasn’t been officially announced yet. I don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble before this, so… I’ll have to trouble you!”

Ken Swanson looked like an aggrieved wife.

“Alright, I’ll cooperate with you, but you have to promise me that when I decide to announce our relationship, you won’t back down.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t back down.”

After Insterimond University’s exam ended, she would immediately make an antidote. So that, her appearance would recover as soon as possible.

Ken Swanson would not be ridiculed for having bad taste and having ugly fetishes.

Wearing the mask, Melody Fox and Ken Swanson entered University Insterimond hand in hand.

Probably because Ken Swanson was wearing a mask, no one paid attention to them. Everyone’s focus was on the bulletin board.

Melody Fox arrived a little late. By the time she arrived in front of the bulletin board, it was already crowded.

Pamela Clark had arrived long ago.

Her first reaction was to look at her name.

Her name was ranked according to her score, so she went straight to the front.

Her Father had already arranged for the strongest competitors in the theoretical exam, so Pamela Clark was very confident that he could at least get into the top three.

However, when she looked up, she saw that the name of the first place was “Melody Fox”.

Pamela Clark’s eyes suddenly widened.

Because she was too shocked, her pupils quickly shrank to a point, and her eyeballs protruded.

After a while, Pamela Clark found her voice and said hoarsely, “This, this is impossible… There must be a mistake.”

Melody Fox, that useless village girl, how could she possibly have the ability to get first place?

Moreover, Melody Fox was sleeping in the examination room, and she was the only one who had submitted her paper in advance. She couldn’t be first.

The teacher who graded the papers must have made a mistake!

The person beside her happened to talk to Pamela Clark in the examination hall.

Seeing Pamela Clark’s reaction, he thought that she was not on the rankings, so he comforted her kindly, “Don’t be too sad if you didn’t enter. Being able to get the exam qualifications is already an affirmation from Insterimond University. Moreover, they will recruit special talents once a year. Go back and work hard. You can continue next year.”

Pamela Clark only remembered to ask for her ranking now.

She looked down. Anyway, she was in second place and was ranked behind Melody Fox.

In other words, if it weren’t for Melody Fox, she would have been in first place.

Chapter 1035

The results of the theoretical exam would affect the final results, and the fashion design department only accepted one special talent student.

If the person who finally got first place became Melody Fox, she would become the laughing stock of Silverlake socialites. She was born and raised in Silverlake socialites, but she could not even compare to a cinnamon roll.

She knew how ugly those socialites would look when they mocked her.

And her father would definitely be very disappointed in her.

The more Pamela Clark thought about it, the more unbearable it became.

She pushed the man who was comforting her away, turned around, and walked out of the crowd to discuss countermeasures with Jian Huan.

However, as soon as she walked out of the crowd, she saw Melody Fox standing at the back of the crowd.

Melody Fox obviously didn’t know the results yet, but she didn’t seem to be in a hurry to look at it, and she seemed to be waiting for something.

This frank and calm reaction made Pamela Clark feel even more upset.

Her eyes suddenly turned sharp. Her eyes seemed to be tainted with poison as she stared at her.

Melody Fox also saw Pamela Clark.

She could roughly guess why Pamela Clark was looking at her like that.

It seemed that she had done well.

Melody Fox curled her lips and calmly met Pamela Clark’s gaze.

“Miss Clark, we meet again. We’re really fated.”

“Bitch!” Pamela Clark could not take it anymore and cursed, “No one is fated with you. Don’t disgust me! Tell me honestly, did you bribe the teacher to get first place?!”

Melody Fox raised an eyebrow.

“So I’m number one. No wonder you have such a big reaction. However, Miss Clark, you look really ugly when you’re angry from embarrassment. Could it be that all the marquises you lost to in the past were like this?”

Pamela Clark said with a dark expression, “I wouldn’t doubt anyone if the first place was yours, but I can’t accept it! You must have used the back door, right?”

“I don’t need to go through the back door for this kind of exam.

“You…” Pamela Clark was about to refute Melody Fox when he caught a glimpse of the hickey on Melody Fox’s neck.

She quickly realized who had left this behind, and her eyes instantly darkened.

“Hehe, you indecent person. You must have given Mr. Swanson a pillow blow. Through Li…”

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a familiar aura.

Pamela Clark turned around and happened to see Ken Swanson walking out of the crowd.

Although Ken Swanson was wearing a mask, he was still someone she had a crush on for many years, so Pamela Clark recognized him at a glance.

“Li…”

Pamela Clark subconsciously wanted to greet Ken Swanson, but Ken Swanson did not notice her at all. He walked past her and arrived in front of Melody Fox.

“I saw the results. Congratulations, you’re first. I knew you would definitely pass, but I didn’t expect you to get first place directly. As expected of my wife, you can achieve such good results by reading for an entire night.”

When Pamela Clark heard this, her pupils instantly trembled.

Based on Ken Swanson’s words, Ken Swanson did not interfere to help Melody Fox at all!

Moreover, Melody Fox had only studied for a night?!

It was as if she had been struck by lightning. She was even more devastated than when she first saw, that Melody Fox was number one.

Melody Fox’s mood was not affected by Pamela Clark at all.

She naturally held Ken Swanson’s hand and said, “I already know the results. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have let you squeeze in.”

Ken Swanson kissed Melody Fox’s hair through the mask and said, “It’s fine to squeeze a little, but how did you know the results?”

Melody Fox pointed at Pamela Clark, whose expression was ice-cold.

“Thanks to Miss Clark telling me. But Miss Clark seems to suspect that I was the one who gave you pillow talk.”

Ken Swanson, realized that there was an “acquaintance” beside him.

After Pamela Clark bullied Zara Wentworth, Ken Swanson’s impression of Pamela Clark hit rock bottom.

When he heard Melody Fox’s words, he looked at Pamela Clark with an even colder gaze. It was as if the surrounding air had frozen.

Pamela Clark was so scared that her back was covered in cold sweat. Her face turned pale as she said, “No… No, I didn’t say that. Mr. Swanson, believe me…”

Ken Swanson did not listen to Pamela Clark’s excuses at all. He said coldly, “Miss Clark, is it because the lesson I taught you the last time was not enough? So you still don’t know how to repent? Do you need me to make a call and inform the people below to cut off all cooperation with your family so that you can learn well?” Pamela Clark felt as if all the blood in his body was flowing backward in an instant.

She tried her best to stabilize herself, but her body was still trembling like a sieve.

“No, there’s no need… I was wrong, Mr. Swanson. Please let me go this time… I’ll definitely keep my mouth shut in the future.”

“I hope so! I won’t be so nice next time!”

“-“

“Get lost!”

Ken Swanson did not even want to look at Pamela Clark for another second. He directly chased her away.

Pamela Clark shrunk her neck and did not dare to say anything else. She ran away as if she was escaping.

Melody Fox glanced at Pamela Clark’s fleeing back and shook her head gently.

“I thought that after what happened to Clark Group, she would learn her lesson, she would be able to restrain herself a little. Now, it seems like a dog can’t change its spots.”

“Then I’ll call and inform them now. I’ll ban the Clark Group from the entire country?”

“Forget it.” Melody Fox shook her head and said, “There’s no need to waste resources on such a person. If she dares to do it again, I have a way to make her suffer the consequences.”

“You’re too kind.”

Melody Fox chuckled and said, “I’m not kind. I’m just too lazy to waste my energy on her. Most importantly, this is the key moment of your battle with Ulric Swanson. I don’t want you to focus on such meaningless things. If Ulric Swanson uses this opportunity to make a big fuss and belittle you in front of your father, saying that you’re in love and impulsive, it won’t be worth it.”

“You’re so thoughtful.”

Melody Fox shrugged. “Anyway, don’t get involved in this matter. We women always have a solution to our problems.” “Alright, then I won’t care. But if you need me, just tell me. It won’t take much effort to deal with Clark Group.”

“I know! You’ve seen the results with me. Hurry up and go do your work. Although you’ve successfully signed the contract, everything is difficult at the beginning. Since your father personally called you to instruct you on this project, you still have to spend more effort.”

“Yes, I know. Then ask Spencer to stay with you. I’ll go to the company to arrange for the specific personnel involved in this project. By the time you finish your exam, I should be almost done.”

“Alright, go get busy!”

Melody Fox pushed Ken Swanson and watched him leave. Jian Huan was also found by Pamela Clark.

Jian Huan did not have any exams today. Her exams were tomorrow, but just in case, she still stayed in the hotel room at Pamela Clark.

Now that Jian Huan saw Pamela Clark pushing the door open with an ugly expression, she immediately had a very bad premonition.

“What happened? Why are you back so soon? Did you fail the next round of exams?”

Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 1016, 1017, 1018, 1019, 1020, 1021, 1022, 1023, 1024, 1025) 

Chapter 1016

“Stop right there!”

A low and cold female voice suddenly pierced through the crowd.

It caused many people in the crowd to look in the direction of the voice.

The man who was holding the girl hostage looked up unhappily, wanting to see which blind person wanted to stop him again.

Only the girl who was being held hostage did not look up. She was still crying silently.

She had completely given up.

In any case, men always had a good excuse to make those who were kind enough to help think that she was an insensible person who was at odds with her boyfriend.

At that moment, a slightly thin but imposing woman walked out from behind the crowd.

It was none other than Melody Fox.

Initially, she did not want to care about the strenuous and unrewarding quarrels between couples. However, just as she was about to enter the school, she heard the girl break a passerby’s phone.

This gave her a strange feeling, so she decided to come over and take a look.

In the end, she was shocked. The “girl who quarreled with her boyfriend” was actually Zhang Wenwen, whom she met when she bought a house in Silverlake.

In the past two days, she had wanted to find Zhang Wenwen to treat her to a meal. After all, she had treated Zhang Wenwen to a meal that day, but something unpleasant happened.

However, there were too many things to do. Ken Swanson got sick, so she had no choice but to postpone the lunch she promised Zhang Wenwen.

She did not expect to see Zhang Wenwen again under such circumstances.

Melody Fox could tell at a glance that Zhang Wenwen had completely given up struggling.

With so many people present, this man was extremely cunning!

It would be strange if Zhang Wenwen was now in despair. Seeing that Zhang Wenwen was so desperate that she did not even look at the person who came forward to help, Melody Fox felt extremely regretful.

She should have come over to see what was going on when she heard that something had happened, instead of dragging it out until now.

Fortunately, in the end, she still came over before things reached an irreversible stage.

“Who are you? Why do you have to interfere in our relationship?”

Before Melody Fox could speak, the man questioned him first.

Especially after seeing Melody Fox’s terrifying face, the man felt even more disgusted.

He wanted to ignore this ugly girl and leave with the girl he liked.

However, this ugly woman blocked his way the moment she came up. She stood at the only exit between the railings, forcing him to stop and argue with her.

“Couple?”

Hearing the man’s words, Melody Fox seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.

“Are you sure… you’re a couple?”

When Zhang Wenwen heard this familiar voice, her despairing thoughts seemed to have been lit up by a flame of hope.

She raised her head abruptly and looked in the direction of the voice in surprise and disbelief.

Melody Fox! It was Melody Fox!

“-“

Zhang Wenwen opened her mouth, but she realized that she was choking so much that she could not speak properly.

Melody Fox gave Zhang Wenwen a reassuring look. Then, she confirmed with the man again, “You said you two are a couple, so show me your proof. I think you’re a human trafficker who’s here to snatch a beautiful girl. Otherwise, why would she cry so sadly when her boyfriend wanted to take her away? Girls are the most soft-hearted animals.”

The man instantly panicked.

This was the first time someone doubted that they were not a couple.

However, when he saw the people around them pointing at Melody as if they were saying that she was being nosy, he instantly calmed down.

“What does my quarrel with my girlfriend have to do with you? Why should I prove it to you? Who are you to me? I advise you to mind your own business, or I’ll call the police!” The man tried to scare Melody Fox by calling the police.

Melody Fox laughed.

“Huh? Call the police? Alright, then call the police! When the police come, they’ll naturally be able to prove that you’re a couple or not. Then if you are, I’ll let you take her away in peace.”

The man naturally did not dare to call the police.

He said angrily, “Go away! My room time is very precious. Stop blocking the way!”

The two burly lackeys behind the man also straightened their chests, their eyes filled with threat.

The surrounding people began to persuade Melody Fox, saying ……as a Young lady and as an outsider, do not interfere in a couple’s quarrel.”

“That’s right. It won’t be good if you get involved in this kind of thing!”

“Look at the car he’s driving. How can he be a human trafficker when he drives such a luxury car?”

“Stop being a busybody! I can tell from your accent that you’re from another city, right? Don’t worry, here in our Insterimond’s social environment is very safe. It’s impossible for human traffickers to kidnap people in broad daylight at the entrance of Insterimond University.” The person who said this was the auntie who had received ten times the compensation.

Zhang Wenwen was a little anxious. She was afraid that Melody Fox would not dare to continue helping her because of the words of the people around her. She did not want to be criticized and morally kidnapped by these people.

“I…, I…”

However, the more anxious she was, the more tongue-tied she became. She could not say a complete sentence.

At this moment, Zhang Wenwen even had the heart to hammer herself to death.

However, in a situation where people were too anxious, many people would not even be able to stand steadily, let alone say it.

Melody Fox sensed Zhang Wenwen’s worry and anxiety.

She gave Zhang Wenwen another reassuring look before rebuking everyone.

“A luxury car can’t be a human trafficker? Where did you get your ideas from? What if his luxury car was bought by selling beautiful girls? Also, no matter how safe a place is, there will still be human traffickers. Otherwise, what are the police in Insterimond busy with all day long? Isn’t there nothing to do? Besides, didn’t any of you realize that this girl was calling for help from the beginning to the end? Isn’t that very abnormal?”

Zhang Wenwen was delighted to hear that. She nodded vigorously to show her agreement.

“Well …”

“I think she’s right. We should confirm if they’re a real couple.”

“I remember seeing on television that some human traffickers like to pretend to be the relatives or lovers of the victims to achieve their goals.”

When the man saw that everyone was starting to waver from Melody Fox’s words, he instantly became anxious.

“Everyone, don’t listen to her! I don’t know what she’s up to! She might be jealous of the $20,000 I lost just now, so she deliberately came to cause trouble to gain benefits! She’s up to no good!”

In the face of the man’s dirty water, Melody Fox said unhurriedly, “I don’t like your lousy car. To gain benefits? Stop joking! If you want to resolve this matter, you just have to answer me. What’s her name? As long as you’re right, I’ll let you take her away. How about that?”

Chapter 1017

After Melody Fox finished speaking, he did not wait for the man to respond and said to the other onlookers, “Did everyone hear that? I didn’t make things difficult for him at all. I only asked him to say his girlfriend’s name. This request isn’t too much, right?”

Melody Fox’s words almost completely cleared her suspicion of having ulterior motives.

Although the onlookers were confused, she could not ignore these people. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome if a group of people surrounded her and stopped her from saving her friend. It was better to let them stand on her side.

Hearing Melody Fox’s words, the onlookers nodded repeatedly.

“Indeed, it’s not too much. Sir, quickly tell us your girlfriend’s name. If you do, we’ll let you go.”

The auntie who took the $20,000 compensation urged him to help the man, “Young man, say it! If you say it, she won’t talk nonsense and delay your time.”

The man’s face was ashen.

That was because he did not know this woman’s name at all!

He gritted his teeth and said, “Why should I tell you my girlfriend’s name!”

As soon as he said this, even the auntie who was helping the man felt that something was amiss.

Names were not private, and under such circumstances, what was there to be troubled about saying his girlfriend’s name?

The only reason was that he did not know the name of his so-called “girlfriend”!

“Heh!” Melody Fox sneered and said, “See, you don’t even know her name, but you still say that she’s your girlfriend. Human trafficker, there are so many people present, don’t even think about running away.”

“I’m not a human trafficker!” The man straightened his neck and said, “I know her name! Her name is… Chen Qingqing!”

In a moment of desperation, the man casually made up the name “Chen Qingqing” and said, “I said, can you get lost now?!”

Melody chuckled and said, “You’re wrong. Her name isn’t Chen Qingqing. Her name is Zhang Wenwen.

Unfortunately, she’s my friend. We came from Silverlake to Insterimond University to take the special talent recruitment test together.”

“You…-“

The man’s expression changed drastically and he was furious.

“Bitch! Are you kidding me?!”

She clearly knew this woman, but she deliberately pretended to be a kind-hearted passerby, as if she had been waiting for this moment.

From the beginning, she had dug a hole for herself to jump into!

“You’re courting death!”

The man knew that there was no point in pretending anymore, so he simply fell out with her and said, “Yes! I’m indeed not her boyfriend!”

“Hiss…-” The onlookers gasped.

This guy was really a human trafficker!

However, the man did not seem to have any sense of crisis. He revealed a high and mighty attitude and said, “It’s her honor to be chosen by me!”

“I’m a senior executive of Ou Jing Group’s branch office in Halcyon. Our Ou Jing intends to start stepping into the entertainment industry. I saw that her appearance was suitable for her to be an artist, so I came to poach her. If you’re really her friend, you shouldn’t hinder your friend’s good future!”

“Ou Jing…”

The onlookers were speechless. It was obvious that they were amazed by Ou Jing’s name.

Ou Jing was a company that many people could not enter no matter how hard they tried, but the other party was actually a higher-up!

In that case, it didn’t seem like a bad thing to go with this man?

Some people in the crowd looked at Zhang Wenwen enviously.

Compared to luxury cars, the word “Ou Jing” was obviously more desirable to these university students.

Melody Fox was also a little surprised. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “You’re actually from Ou Jing?”

Orek and Zuo Ye did not seem to be very good at judging people. They actually let this kind of person sit in the upper echelons!

However, she could understand. It was a branch company. How could Orrick and the others manage it? It was not a new thing to sneak in one or two rat feces.

After all, even the Insterimond branch that Ken Swanson had single-handedly built had a rat shit like Liu Gaoyi mixed in.

“That’s right! I’m a higher-up in Ou Jing. If you offend me, you won’t have a good ending! If you know what’s good for you, quickly get out of my way! Not only will your friend be fine in my hands, but he’ll also quickly soar!”

Zhang Wenwen shook her head vigorously. It was obvious that she had no interest in what the man said.

Melody Fox saw it.

She looked at the man coldly and said, “I don’t care which company you’re from. My friend has no interest in being an artist or a celebrity. No one can force her to do anything. I’ll give you room to repent. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

The man burst out laughing.

“Pfft-You’re not polite to me? Look at yourself in the mirror first and see how capable you are! Anyway, I’ll definitely take her away today. No one can stop me! If anyone dares to stop me, they can forget about having anything to do with Ou Jing for the rest of their lives!”

This was the entrance of the University of Insterimond.

Most of the onlookers were students from Insterimond University.

Upon hearing this, many people retreated.

“Let’s not worry about it… Let’s go.”

“Yes, I agree. He just wants to bring that girl into the entertainment industry. He’s not a real human trafficker. Nothing will happen.”

“Let’s go, let’s go. Everyone, disperse.”

Soon, two-thirds of the onlookers were gone.

The auntie who took $20,000 directly dragged her old man away. As she walked, she said, “Let’s go, let’s go! Let’s not affect our grandson’s future. It wasn’t easy for him to get into University Insterimond.”

Soon, the onlookers scattered like birds and beasts, afraid that the man would remember their faces.

Those who stayed behind were mostly passers-by. They were purely watching the show and had no intention of attacking.

“Did you see that? Those who left are the smart ones!” The man looked at Melody Fox provocatively and said, “Isn’t Ou Jing the first company you invested in after graduating from Insterimond University? If you disappear from my sight immediately, I might not be cut off from your interview when you graduate from Insterimond University in the future.”

“No! Melody, don’t go!”

Zhang Wenwen could finally say a complete sentence.

She said in a sobbing tone, “He didn’t just poach me to Ou Jing Entertainment to be an artiste. He asked me to accompany him for a day. Don’t leave me alone. Boohoo…”

“Don’t worry, I won’t leave you alone. Not only that, but I will also make this guy pay the price!” Melody Fox’s eyes flickered with a cold light.

Not to mention Zhang Wenwen, even if it was someone she did not know, since she had already made a move, she would help them all the way.

“Hmph!”

The man let out a cold snort.

“I think you’re asking for it!”

He tilted his head and ordered his two lackeys, “What are you waiting for? Beat this woman up!”

“Yes!”

The two of them did not care about Melody Fox at all.

They stopped approaching Melody Fox with their chests and punched Melody Fox’s nose.

“Melody! Be careful!” Zhang Wenwen shouted.

The man smirked.

This punch was enough to break this ugly woman’s nose bridge and make her bleed.

Chapter 1018

Just as one of the men’s lackeys’ fists was about to reach Melody Fox, they remained motionless.

The man’s smile became even more impudent and arrogant. This woman seemed to have been completely scared silly!

He had thought that she was very capable and kept saying that she would “pay the price”. He did not expect her to be a coward!

Seeing them use force, she was already scared out of her wits.

The man smugly hooked his arm around Zhang Wenwen’s neck and whispered into her ear, “See! Your friend can’t help you at all. Little beauty, you’d better obediently follow me. If you follow me, I guarantee that you’ll become popular throughout the entire Halcyon in a year. I can use all the resources of Insterimond Ou Jing Entertainment to ensure that you become famous!”

Zhang Wenwen could not care less about what the man said. Her eyes were fixed on Melody Fox.

She was already filled with regret.

If she had known that these people would dare to attack Melody Fox in such a place, she would have followed the man.

Now, not only was she unable to protect herself, but she also had to implicate her friends. She was filled with regret. It was all her fault, all her fault!

Zhang Wenwen cried, “I’ll go with you. Don’t touch my friend. I’m begging you.”

“Why didn’t you behave earlier? It’s too late now…”

A few muffled sounds rang out.

Then, there was a scream, followed by another scream.

“Ahhhhh!!!-“

The man and Zhang Wenwen looked at Melody Fox in shock. The two men who had almost hit Melody Fox were now lying on the ground.

One of them was still fine, but he couldn’t move. The other one was in a worse state. His entire body was twitching and he was vomiting blood. Clearly, he was seriously injured.

The man’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“How… how is this possible?”

He was so shocked that he forgot to grab Zhang Wenwen. Although Zhang Wenwen was also surprised, she took the opportunity to escape from the man’s restraint and quickly ran to Melody Fox’s side.

“Melody, are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?”

Melody Fox shook her head.

“These two pieces of trash are not qualified to injure me.” As soon as she finished speaking, Spencer appeared out of thin air and dragged the two of them away with a Death Warrior. Zhang Wenwen looked at Spencer in surprise then Melody explained, “Don’t be afraid. These are my people.”

Zhang Wenwen nodded.

She had an impression of Spencer. He was Melody’s bodyguard.

However, she was still shocked by Spencer’s sudden appearance and couldn’t help but look at him.

Coincidentally, Spencer also glanced at her. When their eyes met, both of them subconsciously looked away.

Soon, Spencer finished dealing with them.

The man belatedly questioned loudly, “Where are my people! Where did you take my people?!”

Melody Fox smiled contemptuously.

“Since they dared to attack me, they could be considered to have committed a great taboo. Thus, they went to where they should go.”

“Where we should go…”

A chill ran down the man’s spine. He finally felt the horror of Melody Fox.

He swallowed hard and barely found his voice.

“W…-Who are you?”

Melody Fox’s bottomless black eyes curved slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

“Isn’t it a little late to ask that question?”

“Who the hell are you!”

“A defeated opponent is not qualified to ask!”

“Damn it!” The man’s remaining bloodlust was triggered by his anger.

“I’m going to beat you to death today!”

He shouted and pounced at Melody Fox.

Melody Fox didn’t even need to make a move. When the man got close to her, she kicked him four to five meters away.

The man felt a pain in his chest and was instantly kicked away.

The intense pain made him unable to get up from the ground. His eyes were filled with anger and disbelief.

This woman looked thin and weak, but she was actually so powerful!

No matter what, he was still a black belt in boxing. He was much stronger than his two lackeys.

However, before he could even touch the woman, he was kicked away.

This feeling of being completely crushed made him even angrier.

He wiped the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth and glared at Melody Fox threateningly. “How dare you hit me? You’re dead! You’re making an enemy of the entire Ou Jing Entertainment! Do you dare to say your name?!”

“Melody…?” Zhang Wenwen tugged at her sleeve and said softly, “Why don’t we apologize to him? I don’t want to implicate you. He’s one of Ou Jing’s higher-ups. If this continues, he definitely won’t let you off easily.”

Although she knew that Melody Fox was Ken Swanson’s wife, there was still a slight gap between the Swanson Group and Ou Jing.

Moreover, the Swanson Group’s current leader was not Ken Swanson.

Her own life was secondary, but she could not drag Melody Fox down with her.

She was too timid.

If only she didn’t beg Melody Fox to save her.

Zhang Wenwen was filled with regret.

Melody Fox was still calm and composed.

She gently patted Zhang Wenwen’s shoulder and said, “Don’t be afraid. Even if we leave now, he won’t let us go. Instead of waiting for him to seek revenge in the future, it’s better to end it now.”

Zhang Wenwen widened her eyes in shock and asked in shock, “W…-What are you going to do?”

Melody Fox smiled gently and said, “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not trying to kill him. After all, he’s Ou Jing’s man. If he dies like this, I won’t be able to answer to Ou Jing.”

“So what are you suggesting?”

“The one who untied the bell must be the one who tied it. Ou Jing’s men, let Ou Jing punish them himself.”

When the man heard Melody Fox’s words, Don Fox laughed out loud.

He laughed twice, then coughed heavily again.

“Cough cough…”

The man waited for his cough to subside before he spoke again. “You want Ou Jing to punish me? Ou Jing Entertainment has just started. I’m fully in charge of Halcyon.

In other words, I didn’t have a boss in Halcyon. Who would punish me? Who would dare to punish me?

“If you know what’s good for you, kneel down and kowtow to me immediately to apologize. Also, obediently hand over your friend to me!”

“Otherwise, you’ll suffer in the future! Don’t even think about getting into Insterimond University!”

“Melody…”

Zhang Wenwen was extremely worried. She made a decision almost instantly.

Zhang Wenwen bit her lip hard and said, “Melody, I’ll go with him. Don’t worry about this matter. I’ll kneel down and kowtow to him to apologize. Leave quickly!”

With that, Zhang Wenwen walked towards the man.

Melody Fox frowned and immediately pulled Zhang Wenwen back.

“Wenwen, since I’ve interfered in this matter, I won’t let it go. Trust me this once. I’ll solve this problem perfectly.”

“But…”

“Don’t you trust me?”

Zhang Wenwen looked up and met Melody Fox’s gaze. Her heart was filled with self-blame and worry. However, when she met Melody’s gaze, she felt strangely confident.

Chapter 1019

A moment later, Zhang Wenwen gritted her teeth and chose to believe Melody Fox.

Melody Fox was different from her. She seemed to have endless energy. Since she had said so, she should believe her and not drag her down.

She nodded vigorously and said, “I believe you!”

“Good girl.”

Melody Fox reached out and rubbed Zhang Wenwen’s head, making her blush in embarrassment.

She was already an adult, yet she still needed someone to pat her head and comfort her…

Melody Fox smiled at Zhang Wenwen and looked up at the man on the ground, who had yet to get up. Her gaze instantly became sharp and cold.

“You’re the one who should kowtow and apologize, right?”

The man narrowed his eyes. “What do you mean? You’re about to die, but you’re still unwilling to admit your mistake?! When my men arrive, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance to admit your mistake!”

When his two lackeys were beaten to the ground, he secretly sent a message to call for help.

The people from Ou Jing Entertainment’s security department were at his disposal.

“You’re the one who’s about to die, right? Do you dare to tell me your name?”

“Ha! What a joke! Why wouldn’t I dare? I won’t change my name or my surname. My name is Fang Sicong! Your Grandpa Cong!”

“I think you’re a green onion, right?”

“You-“

The man’s face turned green with anger. He used all his strength to get up from the ground and scolded, “Bitch! You’ll pay for your disrespectful words and actions!”

“I’ll return these words to you! Didn’t you say that you don’t have a superior in Ou Jing Entertainment? What if I call the people from Ou Jing Group’s headquarters over?”

“Someone from the headquarters of Ou Jing Group? Hahahahahaha…”

The man threw his head back and laughed as if he had heard a huge joke. Soon, a tear fell from his eye.

He wiped his tears of laughter with his fingers and said, Even I don’t dare to contact the people from Ou Jing’s headquarters casually. How can you contact the people from the headquarters when you’re just an ordinary person who hasn’t even entered University Insterimond? Use your life to contact them, or use your ugly face to contact them?” Melody Fox’s expression did not change at all. She took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a string of numbers. The other party picked up almost immediately. Melody Fox went straight to the point and said, “Mr. Zuo, are you free to come to the entrance of Insterimond University now? I have a private matter… Oh no, it should be considered business.”

On the other end of the phone, Zuo Ye said without any hesitation, “Of course, I have free time to attend to your matter! I happened to be working for Sir nearby and just finished. I’ll come over now. Please wait for me for ten minutes.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you for ten minutes.”

Melody Fox hung up the phone, only to see Fang Sicong raise his head and laugh again after being stunned for a moment.

“Hahahaha… Mr. Zuo? Don’t tell me that the person you called just now was Mr. Zuo Ye?”

“That’s right.”

“Hahahaha!!!” Fang Sicong laughed even louder this time. He laughed so hard that he almost couldn’t stand steadily. Melody Fox looked at Fang Sicong as if he was looking at a dying person.

She also thought it was good news. Her lips curved as she asked, “Do you think it’s funny? I think you’re ridiculous.”

Fang Sicong tried his best to stop laughing. He held his waist and said, “I’m the only one in the entire Ou Jing Entertainment who has Mr. Zuo’s contact information. Moreover, even if you’re lucky and get his number from somewhere, he rarely answers calls. How can you talk to him so easily? Do you think I’m a fool?!”

Melody Fox raised her eyebrows.

“Aren’t you a fool?”

“You…-“

Fang Sicong was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

He had already been kicked in the chest by Melody Fox, so his ribs must have been broken. At this moment, he was even more suffocated.

Zhang Wenwen looked at Fang Sicong’s sorry state, and the feeling of being bullied finally dissipated a little.

She told Melody Fox what had happened.

“I didn’t have any exams in the morning. I wanted to wait for you at the door and accompany you to sign in. In the end, I happened to bump into him. He came up and stuffed a business card into my hand, saying that he wanted to take me to be a celebrity. I didn’t agree, so he threw another twenty thousand dollars cheque at me. I didn’t want his cheque, but he was so angry that he wanted to take me away… You know what happened after that.”

Melody Fox nodded.

“I know what happened. He will regret appearing at the entrance of Insterimond University today.”

“Also…” Zhang Wenwen glanced at Fang Sicong and said, ” From his tone, it doesn’t seem like this is the first time he’s taken someone away from University Insterimond.”

“So you’ve had several victims before you.”

After a few seconds, Fang Sicong finally calmed down a little.

When he heard what Melody Fox said, he snorted and said, ” What victims? They all came with me willingly!”

“Voluntary? Ha! Perhaps one or two of them were willing, but most of them only left with you because they were half deceived and half threatened by you, right?”

“Bullshit! Just you wait! My men will be here soon. Don’t regret what you’ve done to me today!”

“It’s just a kick. Your real punishment hasn’t come yet!” “Heh! Looks like your family still has some background. How dare you speak to me like this? But let me tell you, you still underestimated Ou Jing! The price of offending me is something a young girl like you who has just entered society can’t even imagine!”

“Why don’t we ride a donkey and read a songbook and wait and see?”

Fang Sicong narrowed his eyes dangerously.

“Alright, you’ll see!”

Zhang Wenwen could tell that Melody Fox really wanted to wait for Fang Sicong’s people to come, so she quickly persuaded her, “Melody, let’s leave now. I know you know a little bit of martial arts, but what if the person he called is better than you? Also, don’t you have an exam in the morning? It’ll be your check-in room soon. If you’re late, you won’t be able to take this exam.”

Melody Fox looked at the current time on her watch. Sure enough, it was almost time to sign in.

She handed her admission ticket and ID card to Zhang Wenwen and said, “Wenwen, you don’t have any exam subjects this morning, right? Can I trouble you to sign in for me, please?”

“It’s no trouble. Of course, I can help you, but it’s not good to stay here for long. After entering the school, even Ou Jing’s people can’t do anything to us. No matter what, Ou Jing has to give a face to Insterimond University. They don’t dare to go against an internationally famous university.”

Melody Fox patted the back of Zhang Wenwen’s hand and said, “Listen to me and help me sign in. Leave everything else to me.”

“Well…”

Zhang Wenwen was still hesitating, mainly because she was really worried about Melody Fox alone.

Melody Fox could tell what Zhang Wenwen was thinking. She called Spencer over and said, “Look, I’m not alone. Also, you can’t help me by staying here. Why don’t you help me sign in so that I don’t miss the exam? How about that?”

Chapter 1020

Zhang Wenwen thought about it carefully and could only nod.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll help you sign in and come back! However, after signing in, there will be an allotted grace period for the exam. If you’re more than 10 minutes late after the exam begins, you’ll automatically booted from taking the exam and can’t retake it. Moreover, you can’t participate in taking exams for the subsequent subjects. This is the new rule. You must pay attention to time.”

“Yes, I’ll remember it, Melody assured Zhang Wenwen.”

“Then I’ll quickly help you sign in!”

The time was urgent. Zhang Wenwen didn’t have much time left to say anymore. After reminding Melody Fox to be careful, she runs into the school with Melody Fox’s ID.

She had to quickly sign in for Melody Fox and bring the credentials to the school’s teachers.

Although, Melody Fox said she could handle everything, she still had to be careful.

Otherwise, if she really implicated Melody Fox, she would blame herself for the rest of her life.

When Fang Sicong saw Zhang Wenwen run away, he subconsciously wanted to chase after her.

However, when he sensed Melody Fox’s warning gaze, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and say coldly, Damn it… You caused my prey to run away. You deserve to die! But don’t be smug too early. I, Fang Sicong, can catch the woman I like even if I have to run to the ends of the world!”

Melody Fox narrowed exam eyes.

Fortunately, she didn’t listen to Zhang Wenwen and let Fang Sicong off just like that.

Otherwise, Fang Sicong would have his eyes on Zhang Wenwen.

She couldn’t take care of Zhang Wenwen every time. If she hadn’t taken this opportunity to get rid of this guy, Zhang Wenwen would definitely be in danger.

“If you want to catch her, you have to see if I agree first!”

“Damn bitch, you’ll kneel and kowtow to me soon! You broke my ribs, I’ll break all the bones in your body!”

“You can try.”

Spencer could not help but say, “Miss Fox, why waste your breath on him? Killing him will dirty your hands. I’ll help you get rid of him now!”

“Don’t mess around.”

Melody Fox stopped Spencer, who couldn’t wait to hit Fang Sicong, and said, “There are people here. It’s not a place to fight.”

“I can take him to a place where no one is around. Don’t worry, I won’t leave any traces for the police to find you.” “That’s not the problem. Of course, I believe in your ability. It’s just that Fang Sicong is Ou Jing’s higher-up after all. If we want to touch him, we need to get Ou Jing’s approval first. Wait a moment. Zuo Ye will be here soon. There’s no hurry. He’s like a grasshopper after autumn. He won’t be able to jump around for long. Let him talk some more!” Melody Fox was already immune to verbal attacks, so it didn’t matter how Fang Sicong scolded her.

Seeing this, Spencer could only follow Melody Fox and wait. When the remaining passersby saw that there was no more movement from the two sides, they gradually lost the patience to watch a good show and quickly dispersed.

In addition, Zhang Wenwen had already reached the classrooms at Insterimond University to sign in for the exam, therefore, only Melody Fox and Fang Sicong were left at the entrance of the school.

At that moment, a few cars stopped by the roadside.

A group of well-trained bodyguards got out of the car and walked straight to Fang Sicong.

“Brother Cong, we’re here!”

Fang Sicong held his waist and said, “You’re too slow! Aren’t you afraid that you’ll collect my corpse if you come any later?”

The group of people immediately lowered their heads.

“It’s our fault. Please punish us!”

“I’ll settle this score with you when I get back!”

As Fang Sicong spoke, he looked up at Melody Fox and said, “Did you see that? My people are all top-notch masters. It’s not surprising that you can defeat me, but it’s simply a fantasy to defeat them!”

“Expert?” Melody Fox laughed.

When this group of people got out of the car, she had estimated the other party’s martial strength. It was simply a trifling skill.

“They’re all quite tall, but ‘experts’ are out of the question.” “You have some guts. It’s a pity that you’re too ugly. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind taking you into my harem.”

“A harem? Hehe, do you really think of yourself as an emperor?”

“I am the Emperor!”

“I’m really curious about Zuo Ye’s expression when he finds out what you said.”

“Ha! Mr. Zuo is busy every day. He won’t know about these things, and you… won’t be able to speak again soon!”

A ruthless glint flashed across Fang Sicong’s eyes.

He did not want to kill anyone in the first place. After all, it was very troublesome to deal with a life.

However, this woman’s attitude made him very unhappy, so he wanted her life!

“Attack! Don’t kill her. Just capture her. I want to end her myself!”

“Yes!”

The group immediately rushed towards Melody Fox. They were well-trained, so they were confident in their ability and not afraid at all. All of them were fully focused on dealing with Melody Fox.

Melody Fox yawned and said to Spencer, “Didn’t you lose your footing just now? Then I’ll leave these ‘experts’ to you.”

She had just fought with Spencer in the morning, so she knew how strong Spencer was.

Although Spencer could not last more than three moves against her, Spencer was enough to deal with this group of people.

“Yes!”

Spencer was very happy to finally be able to make a move on the people on Fang Sicong’s side. He rolled up his sleeves and went up to the people who were rushing over.

After Melody Fox allowed Spencer to attack, he took two steps back and found a stone block to sit down and wait calmly.

Fang Sicong saw that not only did Melody Fox not dare to fight his men, but he also retreated to the back. He immediately thought that Melody Fox was afraid, so he sent his subordinates.

He laughed wildly and said, “Now you know how to be afraid? It’s too late! Everyone, listen up. As long as you can capture her, not only will I not punish him for coming too late, but I will also give him a promotion and a raise!”

When the bodyguards heard this, they all rushed towards Spencer as if they were on steroids.

There was also a small number of people who had the idea of capturing the leader before capturing the bandits. They directly rushed towards Melody Fox.

Seeing that they were about to attack Melody Fox, Spencer turned around and rushed to the front of those people.

He picked up the two at the front with both hands and threw them a few meters away.

Spencer’s skills were average, but his strength was that he was strong.

If it was just arm wrestling, even Aaron Berg was not his match.

In just a few rounds, Spencer threw a few people who wanted to ambush Melody Fox in front of Fang Sicong.

Fang Sicong was almost hit by someone.

He was shocked and quickly dodged to avoid being hit.

“Trash! A bunch of trash!”

He kicked away a subordinate who had been thrown at his feet and said loudly, “Deal with that man first! Whoever knocks him down, I’ll reward him with 200 thousand dollars!” 200 thousand dollars was not a small number.

As soon as he said this, the bodyguards, who were already on steroids because of the promotion and salary increase, became even more excited. They focused their attention and began to fight Spencer.

However, even if there were more than ten people fighting against one person, these people were not Spencer’s match at all.

In less than five minutes, those people were all beaten to the ground. Their faces were swollen and they could not even get up.

Chapter 1021

Fang Sicong looked at his subordinates lying on the ground, and the shock in his heart could not be any greater.

“How could this be…”

His people were clearly top-notch experts. How could they lose to the shortest among his subordinates?

However, such an ordinary-looking fellow had beaten up all his men in just a few minutes. How could he not be frightened?

And this group of subordinates was his last reliance.

Now that his backing had been beaten to the ground, he couldn’t find anyone to help him.

“Now, do you still dare to be disrespectful to Miss Fox?” Spencer kicked away a person who was blocking his way and looked at Fang Sicong coldly.

Who did he think he was? How dare he disrespect Miss Fox!

If not for Miss Fox’s order, this guy would have already fallen to the ground and could not get up.

When Fang Sicong saw that Melody Fox’s subordinate dared to speak to him like this, he was immediately afraid and angry.

He forced himself to remain calm and said, “Damn it! You’re bullying the weak! If she has the ability, she can do it herself. What’s wrong with letting you do it?”

Spencer couldn’t help but laugh.

He was professionally trained not to smile unless he couldn’t help it.

“What are you laughing at? Are my words funny?!” Fang Sicong was even angrier.

Spencer retracted his smile and said, “Your words are indeed very funny. I took a few minutes to knock them down, but if Miss Fox were to make a move, it would not even take a minute. She did not do it herself but sent me to do it. Do you still think that we are not strong and weak?”

“You… This is impossible! She’s just a little girl. How can she be so powerful?!”

“Looks like Miss Fox’s punch didn’t wake your pig brain But that’s true. The punch she threw at you wasn’t even 10 % of her strength. Naturally, it didn’t cause too much damage. That’s why you dared to disrespect her again and again.”

Fang Sicong naturally didn’t want to believe it.

However, Spencer did not look like he was joking at all. Besides, there was no need for them to lie to a defeated opponent like him.

Therefore… the only possibility was that the little girl was even more powerful than this guy.

Damn it, who was the person he provoked? Could it be from the black market?

Only the black market could have such an expert.

However, it would be troublesome if it was the black market. It was said that the behind-the-scenes boss of the black market was extraordinary.

He just didn’t know if this woman had a deep relationship with the black market.

Fang Sicong’s mind raced. Spencer warned him with a dark expression, “Miss Fox didn’t kill you because she was waiting for someone. She has the magnanimity and patience, but I don’t! If I hear you say anything disrespectful to Miss Fox again, I’ll kill you for her even if I have to be punished by Miss Fox!”

Fang Sicong was so frightened by Spencer that he took two steps back.

He could not help but feel a little jealous of Melody Fox.

How good would it be if such a powerful subordinate followed her?

At the thought of this, Fang Sicong couldn’t help but say, ” Brother, how much did that woman pay to hire you? I can pay you three times… no, ten times! As long as you follow me and stand by my side, I guarantee that you won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life!”

“Huh!”

Spencer sneered and said, “You have no right here to poach Miss Fox’s subordinate. You might as well kowtow to Miss Fox before you die. Perhaps she’ll be kind enough to leave you half-dead! Besides, didn’t you hear what I said just now? I’m not Miss Fox’s match at all. Even if I’m stupid enough to let you successfully poach me, your outcome today will still be the same.”

He couldn’t be stupid enough to betray Mr. and Miss Swanson and die with Fang Sicong.

Moreover, he is a Death Warrior. He would only obey the orders of one master in this life.

Master asked him to protect Miss Fox, so he naturally had to protect her in all aspects and was at her disposal.

It was also because of this that he endured it repeatedly and didn’t make a move on Fang Sicong.

Otherwise, Fang Sicong would have died a long time ago.

There was a limit to his patience.

Fang Sicong’s original plan was not to let Spencer defeat Melody Fox but to let Spencer delay Melody Fox so that he could take the opportunity to escape.

However, he clearly did not expect that Spencer would still not buy his good offer.

He clenched his fists tightly and squeezed out the words from between his teeth.

“Kowtow? Impossible!”

Fang Sicong had always been high and mighty. Now that he had been promoted to the highest-ranking person in charge of District Halcyon of Oujing Entertainment, how could he kowtow and admit his mistake to District Melody Fox?

“Hehe, then don’t regret it! But it’s good that you don’t apologize. A scumbag like you doesn’t deserve to be forgiven!”

As soon as Spencer finished speaking, a limited edition Rolls-Royce suddenly stopped beside them.

Fang Sicong subconsciously looked over. When he saw the Rolls-Royce’s license plate, his despairing eyes suddenly lit up.

This car belonged to the Origin Crystal Branch!

Only the higher-ups of the Origin Crystal Branch could use it.

Region Halcyon of Ou Jing Entertainment belonged to the higher management of the Ou Jing Branch. He was the boss of Ou Jing Entertainment, but he still had to lower his head in front of the higher management of the Ou Jing Branch.

He did not know who the person in the car was and if he knew him.

However, no matter who it was, they did not know why the other party happened to appear. However, Ou Jing Branch and Ou Jing Entertainment were one, so the other party would definitely stand on their side.

There was always a way out!

He knew that he, Fang Sicong, would never lose to an ugly girl who was still wet behind the ears.

Fang Sicong could not hide the joy in his heart and laughed excitedly.

“Hahahaha, you’re unlucky! My helper is here. You can’t escape this time! You actually want to get rid of me. Do you think our Ou Jing’s people are easy to bully? Your death is here!”

Ou Jing Entertainment’s bodyguards were not particularly outstanding, but the bodyguards of the higher-ups were naturally stronger than Ou Jing Entertainment’s bodyguards.

Spencer was close. As soon as the Rolls-Royce stopped, he could feel the murderous aura of the person in the car.

There was an expert in the car!

Moreover, based on his intuition, the other party’s skills were above his.

Spencer frowned and retreated to Melody Fox’s side. He said in a low voice, “Miss Fox, there seems to be ill intentions inside.”

Melody Fox could vaguely see Zuo Ye’s face through the back window.

She smiled and said to Spencer, “Don’t worry. I called him in.”

When Spencer heard this remark, his tense nerves relaxed. Then, he looked at the arrogant Fang Sicong as if he was looking at a fool.

If Fang Sicong knew that Miss Fox had found the person who came, his expression would definitely be very interesting, right?

Tsk, he was looking forward to it.

The next second, a bodyguard got out of the front passenger seat.

He respectfully and quickly opened the car door.

Fang Sicong quickly went up to the Rolls-Royce to see which higher-up was sitting inside.

No matter who it was, as long as it was someone from Oujing Halcyon, he had given them gifts and had interacted with them before. The other party would definitely give him some face and help him.

Chapter 1022

A middle-aged man in a suit walked out of the car. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked very refined.

However, his powerful aura and cold killing intent made it impossible to associate him with the word “gentleman”.

In particular, the scar on his face spread from the corner of his mouth to behind his ear. It was even more ferocious than the scar on Aaron Berg’s face.

When Fang Sicong saw the face of the person who got out of the car, the expression on his face instantly froze.

The flattery in his eyes quickly turned into shock.

Mr. Zuo!

It was Mr. Zuo!

This was not just Ou Jing’s higher-ups in Division Halcyon. He was the higher-ups in the headquarters and Mr. Orrick’s most trusted subordinate.

In front of Zuo Ye, he was not even worthy of carrying shoes!

In the past, he would only be able to look at Zuo Ye from afar during the time of the annual meeting at the headquarters. He was not even qualified to greet him. But now, Zuo Ye had actually appeared here. Could it be that his talent had finally been discovered by the headquarters?

Or perhaps, Zuo Ye came to the University of Insterimond to select talents for Ou Jing?

But this was too much of a coincidence.

If it was the old Fang Sicong, he would definitely have thought that something was wrong.

But now, his mind was already in a mess. Even a straw could save his life in his eyes.

Therefore, after being shocked for a moment, Fang Sicong immediately made up his mind to ask Zuo Ye to save him.

“Mr. Zuo!”

Fang Sicong nodded and bowed as he walked forward, but before he could get close to Zuo Ye, he was stopped by Zuo Ye’s men.

“Who are you?!” The subordinate scolded, his eyes saying: Don’t approach strangers.

After Melody Fox confirmed that the person was Zuo Ye, she was no longer in a hurry. She just wanted to see how stupid Fang Sicong could be.

She had already said that she had called Zuo Ye over to deal with this matter.

Fang Sicong wouldn’t be so stupid as to complain about her in front of Zuo Ye, right?

Over there.

Fang Sicong felt Zuo Ye looking at him and quickly introduced himself. “Hello, Mr. Zuo. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Fang Sicong. You can call me Xiaocong. I’m the person in charge of Area Halcyon of Ou Jing Entertainment.”

“Oh.”

Zuo Ye heard the other party’s introduction. As the other party was Ou Jing’s subordinate, he did not ask his subordinates to chase him away directly. However, he asked impatiently, “What’s the matter?”

Seeing that Zuo Ye was willing to talk to him, Fang Sicong said to Zuo Ye, “Mr. Zuo! Please save me!”

“Huh?” Zuo Ye raised his eyebrows, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Fang Sicong immediately pointed at Melody Fox and said, ” That woman. Not only did she disturb me from digging up Ou Jing Entertainment’s newcomers, but she also crippled my subordinates. She also broke two of my ribs. She even threatened to kill me! Not only that, but this woman even shamelessly said that she knows you. You must stand up for me!”

Zuo Ye subconsciously looked in the direction Fang Sicong was pointing at.

When he saw that the “that woman” Zuo Ye mentioned was Melody Fox, his expression immediately changed subtly.

He now understood what Melody Fox’s “business” was about.

However, Fang Sicong did not notice the change in Zuo Ye’s expression. He continued to say fearlessly, “The people she injured are also the security guards of Ou Jing Entertainment. Even if it’s for their sake, you have to uphold justice for me. Otherwise, if word gets out that our Ou Jing’s people were bullied by a girl, our Ou Jing will lose all our faces in the future!”

After Fang Sicong finished speaking, he turned to look at Melody Fox and said, “Do you see that? This is our Ou Jing’s Mr. Zuo! Didn’t you want to contact him? Mr. Zuo is here now. Do you still dare to say that you know him?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Sicong wanted to admire Melody Fox’s awkward, scared, dazed, and helpless look.

However, the expected expression did not appear on Melody Fox’s face.

On the contrary, Melody Fox lowered her eyes and smiled. She looked at him with a faint smile, her eyes filled with mockery.

Fang Sicong’s heart burned with anger.

This ungrateful woman deserved to die!

“Mr. Zuo…”

Fang Sicong turned around and was about to complain to Zuo Ye again.

“This woman doesn’t know what’s good for her. She’s simply…”

In the next second, Zuo Ye suddenly walked towards him and raised his hand to slap him ruthlessly.

“Pak!!!-” A crisp sound was heard, and the taste of blood spread in his mouth.

Fang Sicong’s head was hit to the side, and a tooth fell out of his mouth. One of his teeth was broken by Zuo Ye. It was obvious how heavy Zuo Ye’s punch was!

Fang Sicong’s face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and blood kept seeping out of his mouth.

However, Fang Sicong could not care less about the pain. He only covered his face and turned to look at Zuo Ye in shock.

“Mr. Zuo?”

“Bastard!”

Zuo Ye slapped him again.

This time, Fang Sicong’s other cheek was also swollen. He was already fat, but now, his head was even bigger than a pig’s head.

Before Fang Sicong could speak, Zuo Ye spoke first.

“Who do you think you are? How dare you disrespect Miss Fox? These two slaps are the punishment for your disrespectful words just now! Take it well!”

Fang Sicong’s eyes widened in shock, and his pupils quickly shrank to a point.

“Miss Fox…”

The bodyguard who had fought against twenty of his subordinates seemed to have called that ugly woman that too.

Something was not right!

Wait a minute…

Fang Sicong’s brain worked quickly.

He thought of the phone call from Melody Fox that was said to be for “Zuo Ye”. Then, he connected it with what Zuo Ye had said just now. The shock in his heart was like a huge wave that drowned all his luck and arrogance.

At this moment, no matter how unwilling he was to believe the truth, he had no choice but to believe that the call Melody Fox made was really for Zuo Ye.

She really knew Zuo Ye!

‘How did that happen?’

How could this be!

Fang Sicong’s heart was racing.

The development of the matter had exceeded his expectations.

He kept thinking about how Melody Fox met Zuo Ye. What was their relationship?

A scene that shocked Fang Sicong even more happened. Zuo Ye took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully to Melody Fox. He said, “Miss Fox, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. When you called, I immediately rushed over and ran three red lights in a row. In the end, it seems like… I’m still too late.”

Zuo Ye was pointing at Fang Sicong’s subordinates who were lying on the ground.

“!!!”

Fang Sicong’s face darkened completely.

This was the first time in his life that he had seen Zuo Ye bow down to someone other than Mr. Orrick!

Who exactly was this woman?

What kind of big shot had he provoked?

Melody Fox slowly walked over and helped Zuo Ye up.

“Mr. Zuo, you don’t have to blame yourself. You’re not late. I asked you to come over because I wanted you to handle this matter. After all, he’s your man. It’s not convenient for me to deal with him directly.”

Chapter 1023

Zuo Ye nodded. “Thank you Miss Fox for not blaming me. You don’t have to call me so politely. You can just call me Zuo Ye from now on. I really can’t stand being called mister.” Melody Fox raised her eyebrows in confusion. She also felt that Zuo Ye was being a little too polite this time.

Compared to the last time she met Orek at the hospital, he seemed to be even more respectful to her.

However, now was not the time to study these superficial greetings. She still had serious matters to deal with, and she had to rush to take the exam.

Zuo Ye asked again, “I just don’t know… how did this reckless guy dare to provoke you? Please tell me the general situation.”

“The situation is similar to what this guy said, but he didn’t get to the main point.”

As Melody Fox spoke, she walked forward playfully and glanced at Fang Sicong, whose expression was twisted strangely like an ant.

“I called you stupid, but you’re really stupid. Even pigs feel ashamed of their inferiority when they see you. You’re really stupid!”

Melody Fox shook her head and recounted to Zuo Ye about how Fang Sicong wanted to take Zhang Wenwen away by force. Then, she said, “I heard from my friend who was almost taken away by force that it’s not the first time he’s done this. Moreover, he specifically chose female university students who are easy to deceive and bully. They don’t have any background.”

Zuo Ye was so angry that his nostrils were enlarged.

Such a ridiculous thing actually appeared on Ou Jing’s body. It was simply a disgrace to Ou Jing!

Zuo Ye’s anger seemed to have materialized and his entire body seemed to be surrounded by a ball of fire.

When Fang Sicong saw the change in Zuo Ye’s expression, he was so frightened that his legs went weak.

He knew that Mr. Zuo believed this mysterious woman’s words without a doubt, and it was impossible for him to refute, so he simply knelt on the ground with a bang and kowtowed repeatedly.

“Mr. Zuo, I was wrong! I know I was wrong. Please spare me this time. I won’t do it again!”

Zuo Ye looked at Fang Sicong as if he was looking at a dying person.

“You’re really amazing…”

His words made Fang Sicong even more terrified, and he trembled in fear.

Zuo Ye couldn’t be bothered to look at Fang Sicong. He tried his best to suppress his anger and bowed deeply to Melody Fox again.

“Miss Fox, I’m really sorry! I can’t shirk my responsibility for the company producing such a stinky bug! After dealing with this guy, I’ll bring the person in charge of Area Halcyon of Oujing with me to personally apologize to Mr. Ou! I’m also very grateful to you for informing me about this and not directly calling the police to deal with it.”

Zuo Ye knew that Melody Fox was waiting for him to come over to help Ou Jing save face.

Otherwise, if such a huge scandal were to be brought to court, Ou Jing’s shares would definitely plummet.

Ou Jing’s image in people’s hearts would also fall to the bottom.

After a pause, Zuo Ye added, “As for you and your friend, I will also compensate the two of you and the other victims.” As Zuo Ye spoke, he signed a cheque for $4,532,660 on the spot and handed it to Melody with both hands. “This is today’s compensation. Please accept it on behalf of you and your friends. Otherwise, I really feel bad!”

Melody Fox didn’t say anything else. She took the check and said, “There’s no need for my compensation. Other than wasting some things, I didn’t lose anything. However, a friend of mine happens to need this money. She did receive a shock, so I took the initiative to accept this check on her behalf.”

“Yes! Another day, I’ll look for your friend to apologize again.”

“That won’t be necessary. She’s more introverted. She might be frightened by you guys. Just give me this check.” “Yes, I’ll follow your arrangements.”

Melody Fox nodded slightly and said, “I still have two exams to take at Insterimond University today. I am afraid I won’t chat with you anymore. I’ll leave the people on the ground and this Fang Sicong to your care.”

“Yes! Go about your business. Leave these things to me. I’ll let them receive the punishment they deserve and I won’t disappoint you.”

Melody Fox nodded.

“I believe you.”

When Fang Sicong saw that Melody Fox was about to leave, he hurriedly begged for mercy with his last hope. “Miss Fox, I was blind. My eyes were pecked by a chicken. I actually offended you. However, I know my mistake now. Please help me speak to Mr. Zuo. I’ll definitely turn over a new leaf in the future!”

“You’d better tell that to the King of Hell. See if he’ll forgive you and give you a chance to be a human again.”

Zuo Ye was afraid that Fang Sicong’s bad luck would spread to Melody Fox, so he immediately ordered, “Drag him away! Don’t let him dirty Miss Fox’s eyes here again!” “Yes!”

Soon, Fang Sicong was dragged away.

After Fang Sicong was taken away, Melody Fox was about to leave when Zuo Ye stopped her again.

“By the way, Miss Fox, may I ask if the exam you’re taking is a special talent recruitment test for Insterimond universities?”

“That’s right.”

“What a coincidence. They’ve invited me to be the examiner. After you pass the examination, I might be lucky enough to personally give you an admission notice.”

“You’re too kind, Mr. Zuo. I’ll try my best to pass.”

“With Miss Fox’s ability, there definitely won’t be a problem. It’s your honor to enter Insterimond University.”

“I can’t say that. What if I don’t perform well?”

Coincidentally, Zhang Wenwen’s voice sounded in a hurry. Melody!

Melody Fox turned around and happened to meet Zhang Wenwen’s anxious gaze.

She smiled at Zhang Wenwen, indicating that the matter had been resolved.

Only then did Zhang Wenwen heave a sigh of relief.

Melody Fox was really amazing. She was simply the omnipotent goddess in her heart!

However, Zhang Wenwen did not know Zuo Ye, so after running forward, she first sized up Zuo Ye. When she saw that he was polite to Melody Fox, she let down her guard and said to Melody Fox in front of Zuo Ye, “Melody, your exam has already started. If you exceed 10 minutes, you will be considered to have abandoned the exam. Let’s hurry up and leave!”

“Alright, I’ll leave now.” Melody Fox turned to look at Zuo Ye and said, “Mr. Zuo, I’ll leave first.”

“Goodbye, Miss Fox!”

Zuo Ye bowed, and the subordinates behind him bowed respectfully to Melody Fox.

Under everyone’s gaze, Melody Fox, Zhang Wenwen, and the others stepped into Insterimond University.

It was not until she avoided their gazes that Zhang Wenwen could not help but ask, “Melody, were those people also your people just now?”

“Yes and no… The bespectacled Mr. Zuo in the lead is the head of Ou Jing Group, Zuo Ye.”

Zhang Wenwen’s eyes suddenly widened, and even her words became stuttering.

“Wh…-wh-…what…?”

Melody Fox smiled. He looked at Zhang Wenwen’s dumbfounded expression and said, “Don’t be afraid. He’s here to deal with the guy who bullied you. If that guy falls into his hands, he will definitely pay a thousand times the price for all the evil deeds he has done.”

Chapter 1024

Only then did the fear in Zhang Wenwen’s eyes fade a little. She patted her chest in fear and said, “Fortunately, Mr. Zuo is a sensible person. Otherwise, if he were to stand on Ou Jing’s side, I would have really implicated you completely.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Zuo isn’t that kind of person. If he was, I wouldn’t have called him over.”

Zhang Wenwen’s eyes widened in surprise.

“Did you call Mr. Zuo over?”

Before Melody Fox could say anything, Zhang Wenwen had already reacted.

“No wonder you said you could handle this.”

Melody Fox smiled. Coincidentally, the two of them arrived at the examination hall. Melody Fox suddenly thought of the cheque.

She took out a check from her pocket and handed it to Zhang Wenwen.

“I almost forgot. Mr. Zuo asked me to pass this to you.”

“This is …?”

Zhang Wenwen took a look at the thing that Melody Fox had stuffed into her hands. When she saw the amount written on the cheque, her pupils instantly constricted. “This, this…”

Melody Fox smiled and said, “This is from Mr. Zuo’s compensation on behalf of Ou Jing. You had a big shock today and almost got into an accident, so you deserve it. Just accept it.”

“B-but this is too much…”

“To Ou Jing, it’s not much. However…” Melody Fox paused for a moment and said in a low voice, “Since he’s so generous, there must be another reason.”

“What?”

“It includes hush money. He hopes that you won’t mention this matter again. Otherwise, if word gets out, this scandal will definitely affect the entire Ou Jing. If a rat sh*t spoils a pot of oatmeal, it will be quite infuriating. However, you can rest assured that I trust Mr. Zuo’s character. He will only return the punishment that should be given to that fellow tenfold or a hundredfold. He will definitely not let it go easily.”

“Then the other girls who were hurt by him…”

“Mr. Zuo will also investigate thoroughly and compensate them accordingly.”

Zhang Wenwen was relieved.

She nodded. “I’ll do whatever you say. If you tell me not to, I won’t mention another word.”

Melody Fox rubbed Zhang Wenwen’s head. She looked at the time and said, “It’s almost ten minutes. Go do your thing. I’m going to take the exam.”

Zhang Wenwen slapped her head.

“Ah! It’s all my fault. I forgot about the important matter! Go quickly. Best of luck! Here’s your identification.”

“Yeah.”

Melody Fox took the admission ticket and ID card, waved at Zhang Wenwen, and walked towards the examination classroom.

The subject for this morning’s exam was fashion design. It was time for the theoretical exam on fashion design. The practical exam was in the afternoon.

Melody Fox walked to the door with his ID. A middle-aged woman immediately walked out with an invigilator’s work pass around her neck.

“What are you doing? There’s an exam inside. Don’t disturb, you’re unrelated people.”

Before the woman spoke, she had already sized up Melody Fox.

Those who participated in the fashion design exam usually had mine at home, so they could maintain high-class taste and aesthetics.

However, the girl in front of her was not good-looking. She did not have any branded goods from head to toe. One look and one could tell that she was poor. Therefore, she naturally excluded Melody Fox from the list of candidates. Faced with the woman’s cold attitude, Melody Fox was not angry. She handed over her exam ID and said, “I’m not an unrelated person. I’m here for the exam.”

“What? You’re an examinee?”

The woman sized up Melody Fox again, her eyes filled with an expression that said, “Are you kidding me?”

Melody Fox read her eyes and said, “I’m not mistaken. I’m indeed an examinee. I was delayed by something, so I missed a few minutes.”

The woman took the ID from Melody Fox and checked it carefully before believing what she said.

However, she did not intend to let Melody Fox in.

The people inside were all descendants of noble families. If a poor person went in now, wouldn’t he disturb their examination?

The woman raised her chin and said, “Why did you come so late when you knew about the exam today? What’s more important than the exam? Since it’s more important than the exam, why are you here?”

Melody Fox frowned slightly.

“It’s my fault for being late. No matter what the reason is, I’m indeed late. I apologize to you. However, the exam has only started for four minutes. According to the rules of this exam at Insterimond University, I can’t enter only after more than ten minutes. I’m not giving up now.”

The woman narrowed her eyes.

“You’re still lecturing me, aren’t you? Are you a teacher, or am I a teacher? Even if you pass the exam, our Insterimond University won’t accept someone like you who doesn’t respect your teachers!”

Melody Fox secretly clenched her fists.

It seemed that lowering her head would only make the other party more arrogant.

‘Then you can’t blame her for having a bad attitude.’

“I’m not disrespecting my teacher. You’re the one who looks at me with prejudice and won’t let me in to take the exam. I’ll count to three. If you don’t let me in, then I’ll report you directly to the principal’s office.”

As she spoke, she looked at the woman’s work pass and said, “Counselor Chen Fei, right? Then I’ll start counting down. Three, two…”

“You…!!!”

When the invigilator saw that Melody Fox was not afraid of her but was going to report her to the principal, she immediately panicked.

She gritted her teeth and interrupted Melody Fox’s countdown.

“Where do you think you are? How dare you make so much noise! Hurry up and go in for the exam! If you affect the other examinees, it won’t be me who won’t let you take the exam!”

Melody Fox was too lazy to argue with an invigilator. She took her admission ticket and walked in.

In the classroom…

Pamela Clark’s eyes were fixed on Melody Fox as she walked in.

When she saw that Melody Fox had successfully sat in the examination seat and started to write her name on a pen and paper, Pamela Clark’s eyes were filled with regret.

Melody Fox also sensed that someone was staring at her. After writing her name, she looked up in the direction of the gaze.

She looked up and coincidentally met Pamela Clark’s gaze.

It was actually Pamela Clark… No wonder she had been staring at her.

Enemies were bound to meet on a narrow road.

Speaking of which, the reason why Pamela Clark wanted to take the college entrance examination for Insterimond was probably because she had helped Zara Wentworth back then, causing Clark Group to lose his cooperation with the Swanson Group. From then on, Clark Group came because he could not recover from the setback, right?

After all, her Father would never work with the Swanson Group again in his life.

If Pamela Clark’s generation had not worked hard, the Clark Group would have disappeared from the fashion industry’s track sooner or later.

However, if Pamela Clark did not provoke her, she would not deliberately stop her from advancing.

She had already taken revenge on the Clark Group and had let go of the past.

However, Pamela Clark might not think that way.

In fact, Pamela Clark did treat Melody Fox as her mortal enemy.

She kept staring at the clock in the classroom waiting for Melody Fox, but she did not appear… She was waiting for the exam to start ten minutes, hoping Melody Fox would be considered forfeit her exam.

In that case, she would be able to make Melody Fox and Insterimond universities lose their chance without any effort.

Unexpectedly, Melody Fox entered Room Fox in five minutes.

Chapter 1025

Pamela Clark was secretly furious.

The teacher guarding the door was really useless. She could even let Melody Fox in.

Being late was such a good excuse to not let Melody Fox in!

She regretted not giving the teacher some money in advance.

However, now that Melody Fox had entered, she had no choice but to focus on her exam.

Pamela Clark gathered her thoughts and focused fully on the theoretical exam.

Pamela Clark was confident about this exam.

They have been in the garment industry for several generations, and the ancestral tablets in the ancestral hall of Clark Group can be traced as early as the end of the Ming Dynasty.

That ancestor made clothes for the women in the King’s harem. After that, their family followed this skill and developed it until today. Clark Group was already one of the top clothes companies in Halcyon.

Originally, she did not need to work hard. She just needed to lie flat and enjoy their wealth.

It was just that… because of these two bitches, Zara Wentworth and Melody Fox, her family’s business and reputation had plummeted, so she had no choice but to start working hard.

However, her family had already hired a reputable tutor for her. For this exam, she studied day and night. She was not afraid that she would not be able to enter University Insterimond.

When she returned from Insterimond University, the citizens would forget about the old rumors of her bullying case. Pamela Clark still had a glorious day of restoring the past.

Pamela Clark gripped the pen in her hand tightly and focused on answering the questions.

The first question was right. It was a general knowledge question related to fashion design. She quickly wrote down the answer.

However, from the second level onwards, the difficulty seemed to have increased by one level. Pamela Clark was momentarily at a loss.

She subconsciously glanced at Melody Fox, only to see that Melody Fox did not even need to think. She glanced over and directly wrote the answer.

In the entire classroom, no one’s speed could compare to Melody Fox.

Pamela Clark was surprised for a moment before a mocking smile appeared on her face.

Melody Fox had written such a difficult question so quickly. She had probably given up and written it on the answer sheet.

After all, there was a one in four chance that she would be able to guess a few correctly.

However, other than multiple-choice questions, there were also fill-in-the-blank questions and elaboration questions, as well as the most difficult drawing questions. It was impossible to pass by luck and enter the practical test in the afternoon.

She knew that before Melody Fox, she was only a third-tier college student from a lousy university in a remote town.

Therefore, she definitely could not even pass the theoretical exam.

The coldness on Pamela Clark’s face deepened. She retracted her gaze and stopped paying attention to a piece of trash. She lowered her head and returned to answering the questions.

After her heart calmed down, the answer to the second question was finally answered.

After Pamela Clark racked her brains and finally finished the multiple-choice question, Melody Fox had already written the last question on the opposite side of the test paper.

The last question was to design professional women’s clothing.

In addition to drawing the design, she also needed to write down the details of the design and so on.

This question did not seem difficult, but it was not easy to get full marks.

Melody Fox was not in a hurry to write. She first thought carefully in her mind before starting to write the answer.

However, it took less than 20 minutes to get the exam finish.

After answering the questions, Melody Fox looked at the time on the wall and realized that there were still more than 40 minutes before she could submit her paper in advance. She simply lay on the table and closed her eyes.

For the past two days, she had to take care of the sick Ken Swanson at night, so she was not in good spirits. She could take this opportunity to rest.

On the podium.

When the female teacher saw Melody Fox fall asleep on the table after writing for a while, the disgust in her eyes was obvious.

She knew it. It didn’t matter if this kind of trash with a bad family background and a bad brain took the exam or not.

So what if she entered? Wasn’t he still sleeping?

The female teacher couldn’t even be bothered with Melody Fox and quickly looked away in disdain.

The clock ticked by minute by minute. The female teacher looked at the wall clock, cleared her throat, and reminded the other examinees in a warm voice.

“Everyone, pay attention. There are only 30 minutes left to finish the exam. If you feel that there are no problems, you’re allowed to submit your papers in advance. If you haven’t finished writing, pay attention to the remaining time. Put the difficult questions at the end and try to get all the points you can.

“As long as you pass 60 points, you can enter the practical test in the afternoon. However, you have to be careful. The score in the theory test will also affect the final comprehensive score, so you have to try your best to get as many marks as possible.”

As soon as she said this, two of them, who were about to hand in their papers in advance, sat back down and began to check the papers again.

Melody Fox had only closed her eyes to rest and had not fallen asleep.

When she heard that she could hand in her paper in advance, she sat up from the table, picked up her test paper and her identification, and walked to the podium.

“You handed in your paper just like that?” The female teacher glanced at her and said, “Don’t talk to me about rules later and insist on coming back. If that’s the case, I have the right to stop you from taking the exam again if you report it to the Ministry of Education.”

Melody Fox placed the paper on the podium and said calmly, “Don’t worry. Since I handed in the paper, I won’t come back to take the test.”

“That’s for the best! Otherwise, it won’t be fair to others if you use your phone to check the answers after you go out.”

Melody Fox did not answer the teacher and walked out of the classroom.

“Tsk! What are you being so arrogant for!” The female teacher rolled her eyes in her heart.

She didn’t even look at Melody Fox’s paper. She directly threw it to the side of the table and focused on the other examinees.

When the other examinees saw that Melody Fox had handed in her paper just like that, they revealed surprised expressions.

“The teacher said that the theoretical test scores also accounted for the final score. How could she still dare to submit her paper in advance?”

“Who is she? Don’t tell me she’s not the whiz of the fashion design world… Then I’ll be in danger.”

“I’m suddenly starting to feel a little nervous. I originally thought that the theoretical test was only related to whether I could take the practical test.”

A few familiar candidates couldn’t help but discuss among themselves.

When the voice reached Pamela Clark’s ears, she could not help but laugh. “Pfft!”

This laughter caused the people who were discussing to look at Pamela Clark in confusion.

Pamela Clark raised her chin slightly and said calmly, “She only obtained her exam qualifications through a man’s backdoor. You don’t have to be afraid. She can’t pose any threat to any of you. I think she can’t continue writing, so she handed in her paper in advance.”

As soon as she said this, the candidates who were panicking because Melody Fox handed in their papers in advance quickly calmed down.

However, some were curious and could not help but ask Pamela Clark.

“Relying on men? Her looks… Are there men who like her too?”

The examinee paused for a moment and said, “I don’t mean to judge a book by its cover. I just find it strange.”

Pamela Clark shrugged. At the thought of Ken Swanson, she did not want to continue.

Ken Swanson was once her dream man. She did not know what went

wrong with him to find an ugly person like Melody Fox.

Moreover, the Zack Nelson that she had fallen in love with had somehow become very close to Melody Fox.

These high-quality diamond men were all blind!

Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 1006, 1007, 1008, 1009, 1010, 1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, 1015) 

Chapter 1006

In any case, Ai Chunrou was already a “living dead”. It was considered a good deed for her to push the blame on her.

Liu Gaoyi immediately pushed all the blame on Ai Chunrou. Then, he said that Ai Chunrou found a rich man to open a hotel after knowing that she had done something wrong. In the end, for some reason, the other party didn’t like her and even called the police. Now, Ai Chunrou had already been arrested by the police.

As Liu Gaoyi spoke, he chuckled and said, “This saves us the trouble of teaching her a lesson.”

However, on the other end of the phone, there seemed to be a huge dark cloud floating above Ulric Swanson’s head, making the spacious room look extremely narrow.

A low pressure filled the hearts of everyone in the room. Ulric Swanson had put the call on speaker, so everyone in the room could clearly hear what Liu Gaoyi said.

Ulric Swanson’s personal subordinate, Daniel Townsend, could not help but worry for Liu Gaoyi.

Of course, it was not because Daniel Townsend cared about others, but because Liu Gaoyi was his big brother. Moreover, it was also because of Liu Gaoyi that he was able to work beside Ulric Swanson. In the end, he gradually became Ulric Swanson’s most capable subordinate.

Looking at the Second Young Master’s expression, Liu Gaoyi would probably be severely punished this time.

Even so, Daniel Townsend did not dare to speak up on Liu Gaoyi’s behalf. Ulric Swanson hated it when people pleaded with him.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Gaoyi finally realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Moreover, after he finished speaking, there was no sound from Ulric Swanson.

He held the phone tightly and tried to ask, “Second…Second Young Master… Are you listening?”

“Huh!”

Ulric Swanson suddenly sneered. He played with the lighter in his hand and asked Liu Gaoyi on the other end of the phone.

“So, you don’t feel responsible at all?”

Liu Gaoyi’s legs went soft and he almost knelt on the ground in fear.

Even though Ulric Swanson was not in front of him, he still felt the suffocating fear.

“I…-I’m also responsible. I didn’t mean that… Second Young Master, please forgive me this time! In the future, I’ll definitely keep my eyes open and stay away from people like Ai Chunrou.”

“Liu Gaoyi…”

“I’m here!”

“Do you think I, Ulric Swanson, am a fool?”

Liu Gaoyi’s legs went weak and he fell off the chair in fear. Ignoring the pain, he hurriedly picked up his phone and said, “Second Young Master, how could I dare to think that way? Even if you lent me ten guts or a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare to think that way!”

“I think you’re damn bold! Do you think I don’t know what happened in the Division of Insterimond? Ai Chunrou… Hehe, you’re really good at finding a scapegoat!”

Liu Gaoyi’s face was ashen. He finally realized that even though he was placed here by Ulric Swanson to monitor and suppress Shi Kai.

However, Ulric Swanson had also arranged for someone to secretly monitor his every move.

Who could it be?

However, these questions were not the most important thing now. What was important was to make Ulric Swanson forgive him.

“I was wrong! Second Young Master!”

Liu Gaoyi did not care if Ulric Swanson could see it or not. He directly knelt towards the south. As he knelt, he said, “I shouldn’t have hidden it from you, and I shouldn’t have pushed all the responsibility to Ai Chunrou! I can’t escape responsibility for Melody Fox being able to sign a contract with Ou Jing. I underestimated her too much, which gave her an opportunity.”

“What did you say?!” Ulric Swanson’s voice was extremely cold as he asked, “This contract was signed by Melody Fox?”

“That’s right… Don’t you… know?”

“Hmph! Melody Fox is guarded by at least ten experts who are hiding in the dark. Do you think it will be as easy for me to send people to monitor her as you to not be discovered?” “I spoke too much…”

Afraid that he would say something wrong again, Liu Gaoyi deliberated over his words and said, “This Melody Fox is indeed not Janet Murphy. You also know about the Ou Jing project. I’ve been preparing for more than two months, but I still haven’t won the project. However, as soon as she came over, she said that she could get the other party to agree to sign the contract within five minutes…”

“It’s also because I don’t know her well and underestimated her. She actually agreed to a collaboration over the phone.”

“What’s even more puzzling is that she seems to have a special relationship with Ou Jing’s CEO, Orrick. Orrick seems to be sick. According to what I’d heard when I was there at the hospital, it seems that she cured the sick Orrick.”

“It’s probably because of this that Orrick met her personally. His assistant, Zuo Ye, was also very polite to her.”

“Speaking of which, I really didn’t expect a woman from the countryside to have such ability. Perhaps the Eldest Young Master married her because he saw her ability. If we had known this would happen, we would have roped her in from the beginning and made her one of us.”

Daniel Townsend once again broke out in cold sweat for Liu Gaoyi.

His brother was getting more and more stupid as he got older!

He praised Melody Fox like that. It was like dancing in Second Young Master’s minefield!

How could the second young master not know Melody Fox’s ability? He had wanted to rope Melody Fox in a long time ago, but it was a pity that Melody Fox, that bitch, simply admitted her death. When she looked at Ulric Swanson, she looked at them as if they were enemies who had killed her father. How could they rope her in?

He really wanted to boldly ask Liu Gaoyi to stop talking. However, Liu Gaoyi, who was on the other end of the phone, did not know the situation at all. He continued recklessly, But this woman really doesn’t know what’s good for her.”

“She clearly knows that I’m your man, but she doesn’t give you any face at all. She actually forced Shi Kai to send someone who’s nothing to take away all the important projects I have on hand.”

“Now, I’ve been temporarily emptied by the people here in Insterimond branch. But don’t worry, as long as the Oujing storm passes, I’ll definitely suppress that stupid donkey Shi Kai again! I’ll help you snatch the Insterimondth branch as soon as possible!”

As soon as Liu Gaoyi finished speaking, Daniel Townsend saw Ulric Swanson’s expression turn even uglier. His eyes were filled with the gloominess before the storm.

He asked in an indistinguishable voice, “Why didn’t Ken Swanson appear regarding the Ou Jing’s matter? The chairman clearly instructed him.”

“I heard that Young Master is sick, but I’m not sure if it’s real or fake.”

“Sick?” Ulric Swanson sneered and said, “He’s really sick!” He thought that he could borrow Ou Jing to lower the old man’s expectations of Ken Swanson. After all, Ou Jing would not want to give face to the Swanson family people. Unexpectedly, it was Melody Fox who took the lead.

It could be imagined that from today onwards, Ken Swanson and his wife’s status in the old man’s heart would rise to another level.

If Melody Fox gave birth to another child and gave the old man a grandson, his life would only be even more difficult. Thinking of this, Ulric Swanson’s expression became even gloomier.

It seemed like he needed to get married as soon as possible.

His leg had almost recovered. Although he could not run, it was not a problem for him to do things.

Chapter 1007

Just the thought of Mabel Fox’s stupid face made Ulric Swanson feel a little disgusted.

For some reason, whenever he thought of Mabel Fox, Melody Fox’s face would pop up in his mind.

It was such an ugly face, but he could not help but think of it.

Moreover, for some reason, he had dreamed of the scene of him registering his marriage with Melody Fox a few days ago. That scene was so real as if it had really happened. It did not seem like a dream at all.

However, he could clearly distinguish between nightmare and reality when he woke up. However, his feelings for Melody Fox had unknowingly changed subtly.

He had a feeling that she originally belonged to him.

However, the deeper this feeling went, the more he hated Melody Fox. He wished he could get rid of her immediately. “…Second Young Master?”

On the other end of the phone, Liu Gaoyi, who had not received a response for a long time, asked tentatively, “. What should I do next? Try to mess up their cooperation with Ou Jing?”

Hearing Liu Gaoyi’s voice, Ulric Swanson felt annoyed.

“If it’s really as you said, Melody Fox is Orek’s benefactor. No matter how much trouble you cause, this collaboration will not be shaken.”

“Then, then… what should I do now?”

“Just stay where you are now! Don’t cause trouble, that’s the best you can do!”

With that, Ulric Swanson hung up.

Liu Gaoyi had always been quite quick-witted. However, because he had underestimated his enemy, he had also fallen into the hands of Melody Fox. He had given away a cake as big as Ou Jing for nothing.

However, it was undeniable that Liu Gaoyi had said something in his heart.

If he had been one step ahead of Ken Swanson and roped Melody Fox into his faction, perhaps he would not have fallen into Ken Swanson’s disadvantage so quickly, let alone caused his family to lose their lives twice in a row. However, he did not expect Melody Fox to be so useful. When he thought about it, it made sense. No one was made of iron. There were more or less a few sick people in every family, especially in a large family with a thriving population.

The appearance of a divine doctor could undoubtedly save their patients from danger.

Miracle Doctors were the best headhunters. They could easily earn the gratitude of others. Orek was a classic example.

Ordinary people could not casually obtain his favor.

However, it was all Liu Gaoyi’s fault for not doing his job well.

If it were him, he would have cut off the possibility of Melody Fox taking on this project from the beginning. While he was thinking, on Ulric Swanson’s end another call came in.

It was also from the Insterimond branch office.

He answered the call expressionlessly. The person on the other end of the line reported respectfully and nervously, “Second Young Master, something bad has happened. A large number of the people Liu Gaoyi brought to Branch Insterimond who have entered the company illegally have been found by the Human Resources Department. They will be kicked out of the company by the Human Resources Department soon.”

Ulric Swanson’s expression was so ugly that water could drip from it.

“How could it be against the rules? Didn’t I ask him to bring those with strong screening abilities to the Insterimond branch?”

The other party hesitated for a moment before telling the truth.

“The first batch was brought over. Their resume status was indeed passable, but later on, after Manager Liu stabilized his footing here, he brought in many people who didn’t pass the qualifications and violated the rules. Among them, there was no lack of people who sent gifts to Manager Liu. There were also people who used to work under Manager Liu.”

“One of his own? His so-called one of his own who used to do odd jobs. How dare he bring that kind of trash to the Division of Insterimond to embarrass himself! Also, why didn’t you report this matter earlier!”

“I…-I initially thought that it wouldn’t hurt to add a few people in. Moreover, everything was indeed fine before today…”

“Bang!” Ulric Swanson slammed the table heavily, causing everyone in the room to kneel on the ground in fear.

Only Daniel Townsend was bold enough to stand beside Ulric Swanson.

The person on the other end of the phone was even more frightened.

Fortunately, Ulric Swanson suddenly said, “Alright, there’s nothing else for you to do at the branch. You can take advantage of this huge HR operation to fire him.”

“…Yes.”

With that, the other party quickly cut off the call. He was afraid that Ulric Swanson would go back on his word and punish him severely.

With a click, Ulric Swanson lit a cigarette and looked at Daniel Townsend expressionlessly.

“Daniel Townsend.”

“I’m here!”

“I remember… Liu Gaoyi is your big brother, right?”

“Yes.”

“This big dismissal will definitely be reported to the chairman. He will immediately be able to guess that I have been indulging Liu Gaoyi behind his back. My image in the chairman’s heart has been ruined again. However, since Liu Gaoyi is your brother, I still have to give you some face. In your opinion, how should I punish your brother? Tell me!” “I…” Daniel Townsend lowered his eyes as his mind raced. He knew that if he helped Liu Gaoyi plead for leniency, not only would Liu Gaoyi not be able to get away with it, but he would also be punished even more severely. He might even… lose his life.

However, Liu Gaoyi was his biological brother. It was impossible for him to say the punishment for Liu Gaoyi coldly as he did to others.

After much deliberation, Daniel Townsend gritted his teeth and said, “My brother is loyal to you. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have had the chance to work for you…”

“Oh?” Ulric Swanson’s eyes darkened. “So, you’re going to plead for leniency on his behalf and ask me to spare him?” “Of course not!” Daniel Townsend’s words were just a test. Now that he saw Ulric Swanson’s expression change, he immediately said what he had thought of long ago.

“Although he’s loyal, his intelligence is insufficient and he’s too arrogant. This time, even you were implicated by him, so he has to be punished. Otherwise, how are you going to control him in the future?”

Ulric Swanson was very satisfied with Daniel Townsend’s words.

“So?”

Daniel Townsend clenched his fists tightly and said, “It’s said that trouble comes from the mouth. I know that you’ve never liked my brother’s way of speaking, so…”

He took a deep breath before he could finish his sentence.

“Therefore, it’s better to make him unable to speak any more! This way, not only can we punish him, but we can also let him continue to work for you in the future. What do you think?”

Ulric Swanson looked up and glanced at Daniel Townsend. However, this glance made Daniel Townsend break out in a cold sweat.

Finally, Ulric Swanson spoke.

“Daniel Townsend, I didn’t misjudge you! Let’s do as you say!”

Daniel Townsend instantly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

“Yes! Thank you, Young Master, for sparing my brother’s life. We brothers will definitely be more loyal and cautious in working for you. My brother will also be grateful every day in the future and pray for you in his heart. I wish you success as soon as possible.”

“There’s no need to pray. Just don’t scold me in your heart.”

“Even if he had ten thousand guts, my brother would definitely not dare.”

Ulric Swanson waved his hand. “Go. Since you’re brothers, I’ Il leave this matter to you. Remember to show me his tongue. I hate it when people lie to me. You know that.” Daniel Townsend’s expression changed drastically.

“Young… Young Master… You want me to cut off his tongue?”

Chapter 1008

“What else? Isn’t this your own punishment?”

Ulric Swanson glanced at Daniel Townsend with a half-smile and said, “If you use drugs to poison someone until they’re mute and it doesn’t hurt or itch, how can they remember? They have to suffer a little. What do you think?” Daniel Townsend shuddered.

His suggestion was clearly to make Daniel Townsend lose his voice and not lose his tongue forever!

He could still think of a way to cure his loss of voice in the future, but if he lost his tongue, he would become mute for the rest of his life.

However, when Ulric Swanson said that, Daniel Townsend knew that there was no turning back.

If he dared to bargain again, not only would he have to pay, but Liu Gaoyi might even lose his life.

Compared to losing a tongue, life was more important.

Daniel Townsend immediately made up his mind and said, ” Yes! I understand. I’ll set off for Insterimond now!”

Ulric Swanson raised his eyebrows and said graciously, We can deal with him after we bring him back. It will also be easier for his family to take care of him.”

“I…”

Daniel Townsend was already incomparably

uncomfortable, but when he heard this, he could only reveal a grateful expression.

“Thank you for your kindness, Young Master! I thank you on behalf of my brother!”

“Go!”

Daniel Townsend bowed deeply to Ulric Swanson before turning around to leave.

It was also at this moment that Daniel Townsend finally felt a trace of guilt for the cruel things he had done in the past. Each of them… had a family.

However, after walking down this path, he could no longer turn back. He could only swallow his teeth and walk down this path until the end!

Not long after Daniel Townsend left, the Swanson family’s original butler knocked on the door and entered.

After Astrid Swanson’s death, Ken Swanson’s people underwent a major blood transplant in the Swanson family’s manor, which belonged to Astrid Swanson and Ulric Swanson. Therefore, Ulric Swanson directly took the former butler to his private manor to be the butler here.

“What can I do for you?”

Ulric Swanson’s expression softened when he saw the butler who had watched him grow up.

“Young Master, there’s something I want to ask you.” “Shoot.”

“It’s Madam’s birthday next week. Logically speaking, the first birthday after death should be a big event, but now… I don’t dare to make a decision casually. Young Master, please tell me.”

Ulric Swanson’s dark eyes turned cold and dark.

He was still a human after all. Although he was angry, he didn’t feel sad.

However, he would dream of his mother every night. Occasionally, he would think of Astrid Swanson’s kindness to him.

Putting everything else aside, Astrid Swanson’s kindness towards him was indeed unquestionable.

With Astrid Swanson’s death, there seemed to be no one in the world who could treat him wholeheartedly and sincerely. Everything they did was because of his identity or for their own benefit.

Ulric Swanson felt even more frustrated.

He fell silent…

The butler did not dare to rush Ulric Swanson. He could only stand quietly at the side and wait.

After a while, Ulric Swanson said, “Just do it here. Other than the Hunter family, there’s no need to call anyone else.”

“As for Old Master…”

“There’s no need to let him know!”

“Yes.” The butler lowered his head and bowed as he left. Ulric Swanson’s expression turned even uglier.

It was not that he did not want to do it. There was no need for him to do it personally. He could just give the order.

However, at this juncture, the old man’s disgust for his second wife had not faded at all. He did not even think about Astrid Swanson. What should he do?

Ulric Swanson asked his other subordinates expressionlessly, “Didn’t any of the people who installed the explosives send back any news?”

“Yes. And from the looks of it, neither Ken Swanson nor Melody Fox were harmed in any way.”

Ulric Swanson gritted his teeth.

Things were really not going well today!

At that moment, Jennie Taylor, who was wearing a long dress, walked forward and squatted beside Ulric Swanson to massage his legs.

“Second Young Master, you don’t have to be anxious. Success or failure doesn’t depend on this alone. They’re useless. I’m still here.”

As Jennie Taylor massaged, Ulric Swanson’s entire body gradually relaxed.

That was true. He still had Jennie Taylor as his trump card.

So what if Ken Swanson had Melody Fox by his side?

Beside him was Halcyon’s strongest player, “The malicious doctors.”

Right in that instant, he felt Jennie Taylor’s hand slowly moving up from his calf. Her hands had already moved to the inside of his thigh and were showing signs of continuing upwards.

His expression changed, and he suddenly stood up from his chair.

“Jennie Taylor! Be careful of your identity!”

Jennie Taylor was shocked and immediately knelt on the ground.

“It’s my fault, Young Master. I just wanted to help you explain…”

“Piss off!”

He hadn’t touched a woman for several years, but that didn’t mean he was desperate.

At the very least, he had to choose a woman like Mabel Fox and not someone like Jennie Taylor.

Jennie Taylor did not dare to make another sound. Her face was pale as she retreated dejectedly.

Ulric Swanson exhaled heavily.

Although he resisted Jennie Taylor’s approach, the evil thoughts that belonged to a man in his heart were aroused by Jennie Taylor.

He paced back and forth in the room. Suddenly, he took out his phone and dialed Mabel Fox.

“Are you free? Shall we meet?”

Mabel Fox’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I’m free! Where shall we meet?”

“I’ll get someone to pick you up. Where are you?”

“I’m at home.”

“Alright, wait at home for my men to come.”

“Yes, yes!”

Mabel Fox hung up the phone happily and hurriedly changed into a beautiful new dress before running downstairs.

It just so happened that Russell Fox had just returned from work.

The expansion of the company was not going well, so he was in a terrible fix.

When he saw Mabel Fox’s bright smile, his face darkened.

“Where are you going in the middle of the night? Didn’t I tell you to stay at home and study hard while waiting for Professor Ander Morgan’s assessment?”

Russell Fox’s temper had been very bad recently. He often hit and scolded the servants.

The servants could not stand the humiliation and many of them resigned. The servants were replaced batch by batch. They were really afraid.

Mabel Fox also deliberately avoided Russell Fox, afraid that she would be implicated in his anger.

But today was different. She had Ulric Swanson’s invitation, so she said fearlessly, “Dad, Ulric Swanson called me just now and asked me to meet him. Then according to you, I’ll call him and reject him?”

Russell Fox’s expression changed from gloomy to ecstatic.

“He asked you out? Did he say where?”

“No, but he said he’d send a car for me.”

When Russell Fox heard this, he looked at the completely dark sky outside and happily walked back and forth in the living room.

“Yes! You have to go! And dress up beautifully.”

They were both men, so he knew very well what it meant for a man to invite a woman out on a dinner date.

And it would be easier to do things when it was dark after dinner!

“Yes, then, then I’ll go upstairs and touch up my makeup?”

“Go! Daddy thinks highly of your ability. No man can resist your charm. You’re Daddy’s proudest daughter!”

Mabel Fox smiled, but her heart was cold.

To put it nicely, she actually wanted to sell her daughter quickly in exchange for his bright future.

Chapter 1009

However, marrying Ulric Swanson was her dream, so she had no disagreements with Russell Fox on this.

Mabel Fox suppressed the complicated feelings in her heart and quickly ran upstairs.

Mabel Fox had already put on full makeup. Her makeup was so exquisite and it was impeccable, then after she finished dolling up, she descended the stairs.

“That’s it. That’s good.”

Russell Fox nodded in admiration.

This daughter of his was really his proudest work. She had inherited almost all the merits of him and Yolanda Fox. Excluding all their shortcomings, she had grown into a slender and elegant woman.

At that, a servant rushed in to report.

“Sir, Miss, there’s a car parked outside.”

“It should be Ulric Swanson. Dad, shall I go out now?”

“Alright, go ahead,” Russell Fox said, but he did not have the self-awareness of a father. “It’s fine to come back later or sleep over there, the Swanson family is big. There won’t be no place for you to sleep.”

Mabel Fox knew what Russell Fox was thinking. It was extremely disgusting.

However, she doesn’t feel the same disgust as she thinks about it, and there is even a faint anticipation in her heart.

She had long wanted to give her body to Ulric Swanson.

But previously, for some reason, Ulric Swanson actually rejected her when she took the initiative to throw herself at him!

After that, she found many reasons for herself and was sad for a long time.

But after calming down, she finally found an explanation.

That was: Ulric Swanson was incapacitated because of his legs.

But it was different now. Ulric Swanson’s leg had been healed.

It could be said that today was Ulric Swanson’s first date with her after becoming a “real man”. It had extraordinary significance!

And it was very likely that she would become Ulric Swanson’s real woman today.

Mabel Fox’s heart was beating like thunder. Her entire face turned red as she walked out of the Fox family’s door shyly.

Just as the servant had reported, a black luxury car was parked at the entrance.

Mabel Fox opened the car door and got in. To her surprise, Ulric Swanson was also in the car.

The driver had already raised the partition in the car when Mabel Fox got in.

She obviously did not expect Ulric Swanson to be in the car. She asked in surprise, “Ulric? Why are you here? Didn’t you say that you would send someone to pick me up?”

“Yes.” Ulric Swanson looked at Mabel Fox’s exquisite face. The man’s vanity was greatly satisfied.

Mabel Fox was a little stupid, but her beautiful face was indeed impeccable. She could be considered the most beautiful woman in Silverlake.

Moreover, if she was called stupid, she was actually quite smart. Otherwise, how could she be chosen to participate to be a candidate for Professor Ander Morgan’s research?

His lips curved. “But then I thought better of it and if I sent a driver for you. I still have to wait at home. Might as well come straight to you so I can see you sooner. So here I am.”

Mabel Fox was overjoyed.

She felt her body was boneless as she hugged Ulric Swanson’s neck softly. She mustered her courage and said, “My Darling, you’re so good to me.”

Ulric Swanson did not resist Mabel Fox calling him “my dear”.

He ran a hand through the loose hair on her forehead. “I’m taking you somewhere.”

“Huh? Where?” Mabel Fox’s eyes sparkled as she asked.

“You’ll know when we get there.”

“All right, then I won’t ask. But I really didn’t expect you to surprise me.”

“We’re going to get married in the future. Isn’t it the most basic thing to surprise you?”

Mabel Fox’s heart was beating like thunder.

“You, you really want to marry me?”

“Of course. Other than you, who else is worthy of me? Only you…” Ulric Swanson leaned over and gently kissed Mabel Fox’s lips.

Mabel Fox was so excited that her entire body was trembling. Her lips felt like they were being electrocuted. Kiss.

If she remembered correctly, this was the first time Ulric Swanson took the initiative to kiss her!

In the past, she was the one who took the initiative!

After a while, the two of them separated.

After separating, Mabel Fox’s face was like a peach blossom and her breathing was weak. Her entire body seemed to have turned into a pool of water as she gently hugged Ulric Swanson’s waist.

She could feel that Ulric Swanson was also excited. Although she was inexperienced, how could she not have seen a pig run before? She had already understood the relationship between a man and a woman when she was an adult, but she had never experienced it personally. Mabel Fox sensed the change in Ulric Swanson. Just as she was hesitating whether she should take the initiative this time or wait for Ulric Swanson to take the initiative, the car stopped.

She subconsciously turned her head to look outside and saw that they had actually arrived at River Silverlake.

Ulric Swanson straightened her body and said, “Let’s get out of the car. The surprise for you is here.”

Although Mabel Fox could not wait to become Ulric Swanson’s real woman, she was also curious about what surprise Ulric Swanson would give her. She quickly nodded and followed Ulric Swanson out of the car.

As soon as they got out of the car, the evening breeze that carried the river arthritis blew over. It carried a gentle and affectionate feeling, making the two of them, who were originally a little stuffy, feel relaxed and carefree.

“Riverside is so comfortable,” Mabel Fox said as she held Ulric Swanson’s shoulder.

She seemed to be admiring the night scenery by the river, but in fact, she was looking around to see where her surprise was.

The surprise Ulric Swanson gave her must be worth a lot! Melody Fox had stolen too much of her limelight recently. She finally had a chance to show off.

“Close your eyes first,” Ulric Swanson said.

Mabel Fox curled her lips and obediently closed her eyes.

A few seconds later, Ulric Swanson held her hand and said, Alright, you can open your eyes now.”

Mabel Fox opened her eyes expectantly.

The moment she opened her eyes, tens of thousands of fireworks bloomed like roses in the sky, instantly decorating the black cloth-like night as if it were daytime.

Fireworks bloomed in the air one after another, as if the sky had turned into a sea of flowers.

The surface of the river reflected the fireworks in the sky, making it impossible to tell if the fireworks had fallen into the water or if the river reflected the fireworks.

It could be said that this firework was extremely dazzling.

Apart from the New Year, Silverlake would not have such a grand fireworks show to watch.

The dazzling light also illuminated Mabel Fox’s face.

Ulric Swanson turned around and saw that other than a moment of surprise in Mabel Fox’s eyes, there was also a deep sense of disappointment.

This sense of loss was almost obvious: Why are they fireworks and not expensive gifts?

Ulric Swanson’s eyes narrowed slightly. This was the first time he had meticulously prepared these surprises for a woman, but her reaction was such a slap to his face.

He used to think that this kind of woman, who showed her philistines and greed on her face, was a good thing because this kind of person was easier to control.

However, when he looked at Mabel Fox again, he suddenly felt bored.

Just like a glass of water, an ounce of thirst was what the human body needed the most. However, ounces of thirst could not be tasted no matter how hard one tried.

On the contrary, Melody Fox was like a colorful special.

Although it seemed dangerous, there were hundreds of flavors to it.

But soon, Ulric Swanson realized that he had unknowingly thought of Melody Fox, that ugly woman from the countryside.

He subconsciously clenched his fists, and his good mood turned into a dark cloud.

Meanwhile, Mabel Fox finally noticed that Ulric Swanson was looking at her.

Chapter 1010

The sky was so dark. Mabel Fox did not expect Ulric could see her expression, so she casually revealed her true expression.

-Disappointed…

It was just a fireworks show. It couldn’t even be exchanged for half a cent. Moreover, Ulric Swanson was beside her. She was too embarrassed to take photos and videos to show off, so it was equivalent to nothing.

Moreover, even if she went out and told others, with her current reputation in the socialite circle, who would believe that Ulric Swanson had specially prepared this for her?

Those women would probably only laugh at her!

Therefore, she subconsciously felt a little disgusted and disappointed.

However, when she realized that Ulric Swanson could see her expression under the light of the fireworks, she was shocked. She quickly put on a pleasantly surprised expression and said to Ulric Swanson,

“What beautiful fireworks. I love them… Thank you, Ulric. You’ve troubled me.”

Ulric Swanson looked deeply at Mabel Fox’s fake expression, but the corners of his lips curled up gently. He rubbed Mabel Fox’s head and said, “As long as you like it.” Coincidentally, the fireworks show ended at that moment. Ulric Swanson directly said, “The night wind is cold. Get in the car.”

“Okay.” Mabel Fox nodded and returned to the car impatiently.

After getting into the car, Mabel Fox keenly realized that the driver was not in the car. His mood finally turned gloomy.

Although she did not like being surprised, at least she would become a real woman tonight.

However, in the next second, she heard Ulric Swanson snap his fingers outside the car and call the driver back.

She widened her eyes in shock. She did not understand why the driver was called back when she was going to “do something”.

However, she immediately guessed that Ulric Swanson might be taking her to a hotel or the Swanson family to do that at home.

But the face slap came too quickly, like a tornado.

As soon as Ulric Swanson got into the car, he said, “It’s getting late. I’ll send you back first. Otherwise, your father will be worried about you later.”

Mabel Fox clenched her fists tightly. She could not believe what she was hearing.

Before getting out of the car, the atmosphere between them was clearly very good. They even kissed passionately for a few minutes.

She could also feel that the heart of the Ulric Swanson man was moving.

But why did it seem like nothing had happened after watching the fireworks?

“Ulric…”

Mabel Fox unwillingly held Ulric Swanson’s hand.

Although Ulric Swanson held her hand and understood what she meant, he only said, “Be good. I’ll ask you out next time when I’m free. Prepare for Professor Ander Morgan’s assessment first. Don’t think about anything else, okay?”

The meaning of his words was almost a complete declaration that he would not touch her today.

Mabel Fox knew that if she took the initiative again, it would seem too cheap. It might even cause Ulric Swanson to reject her.

Hence, she could only pretend to nod obediently. “I understand. I’ve been preparing for the past few days.”

This summer, she had finally graduated from the University of Silverlake. It was not her turn to interfere with the Justalion Group yet, so all she could do all day was prepare for the assessment.

She had indeed put in a lot of effort.

However, it was unknown what Professor Ander Morgan was busy with. He had not gathered the people he had initially chosen.

In order to find a topic to talk about, Mabel Fox raised her doubts about Ander Morgan.

“It’s been so long, but there’s still no movement. I really don’t know what Ander Morgan has been busy with recently…” “There’s no need to rush,” Ulric Swanson said. “I’ve already investigated it for you. The Halcyon Research Institute is about to choose a new director. I think he’s preparing for this matter. That’s why he can’t care less about you people who are waiting for the assessment.”

“How long will the substitution take?”

“If I’m not mistaken, it should be next month.”

“That’s good. Next month is coming soon. Coincidentally, I have time to prepare.”

“Yes.” Ulric Swanson nodded. He subconsciously tightened his grip on Mabel Fox’s hand and said, “You have to prepare well.”

“I know… but, Ulric, can you answer me truthfully if I ask you a question?”

“Yes, ask away.”

Mabel Fox took a deep breath and asked boldly, “If, I mean if. If I hadn’t been chosen by Professor Ander Morgan to enter his laboratory, would you despise me?”

A fleeting coldness flashed across Ulric Swanson’s eyes. However, the coldness disappeared as quickly as it came, so Mabel Fox could not catch it with her naked eye.

She actually had a question in her heart. To Ulric Swanson, of all the characteristics on her body, other than her face, what attracted him the most was that she had entered Ander Morgan’s assessment.

Therefore, she was afraid that if she did not pass, Ulric Swanson would ignore her.

Ulric Swanson looked at her with his usual gentle gaze and smiled. “What are you thinking about? Why would I dislike you because of this?”

Mabel Fox let out a long sigh of relief.

‘That’s good.’

She knew her own level.

The reason why she could pass the preliminary test and enter Ander Morgan’s eyes was because she found a whiz to help her solve the questions on the forum.

She really did not have much confidence in the subsequent assessments. Even though she had locked herself in her room almost every day to study hard, she could not guarantee that she could enter the last round of assessments.

However, in the next second, Ulric Swanson said, “But you also know my father’s personality. Back then, Melody Fox was able to marry into the Swanson family because of the arranged marriage. However, if you want to marry into the family, you have to have something that he can admire. Therefore, you really have to put in more effort on Professor Ander Morgan’s side. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that my marriage will be completely up to you.”

Mabel Fox’s mood immediately became heavy.

With the death of Astrid Swanson, she thought that more than half of the trouble had been resolved.

However, she never thought that there would be a Ramon Swanson who was even more strict than Astrid Swanson. From the looks of it, if she wanted to marry into the Swanson family smoothly, other than finding a way to become Ulric Swanson’s woman and get pregnant with his child, she could only start with Professor Ander Morgan.

Mabel Fox clenched her fists and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely work hard for our happiness!”

“Good girl!”

Ulric Swanson pinched Mabel Fox’s cheek, but he felt the foundation on her face.

The sticky feeling was repulsive.

However, he did not show any discomfort and retracted his hand as if he did not notice.

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the row house of the Fox family.

Ulric Swanson did not get out of the car. He only said, “Go back and rest early. Also, help me apologize to your father. My legs haven’t completely recovered, so I won’t get out of the car and disturb him late at night.”

“Yes, yes. My dad will understand. I’ll leave first, then?” “Yeah.”

Mabel Fox turned sideways and planted a kiss on Ulric Swanson’s face. Then, as if she was very shy, she quickly got out of the car and entered the house.

The moment the car door closed, all the gentle expressions on Ulric Swanson’s face disappeared in an instant. There was no trace of gentleness or love.

Chapter 1011

The driver in the car clearly felt the change in the air pressure around Ulric Swanson.

He did not dare to turn his head to look, so he could only brace himself and ask, “Young Master, where are we going now?”

“Back to Manor the Swanson family.”

Ken Swanson was not at home. It was time for him to do his best to accompany the old man and Margaret Swanson. “Yes!” The driver did not dare to say another word. He stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Mabel Fox returned to the Fox family.

Russell Fox was originally happy, so he did not go upstairs and stayed in the living room to drink a few glasses.

However, when he saw that Mabel Fox had returned less than an hour, he immediately put down his wine glass and frowned. “Why are you back so quickly? Where’s Ulric Swanson? Didn’t you see him?”

“Yes…” Mabel Fox was afraid that Russell Fox would be angry, so she quickly said, “We were originally watching the fireworks show he prepared for me by the river, but he suddenly received a call. He said that he had an important business to attend to, so he sent me back and left. He also asked me to apologize to you. He said that his legs haven’t completely recovered, so he didn’t come in to greet you.”

Russell Fox’s mood fluctuated.

Only when he heard Mabel Fox’s last sentence did he reveal a smile.

“Ulric Swanson, this child is too polite. He has a biological mother who educated and took care of him. He’s more disciplined than those barbaric people.”

In other words, he’s praising Ulric Swanson while stepping on Ken Swanson.

Mabel Fox’s expression changed slightly when he thought of Ken Swanson, but she quickly regained her composure.

She smiled. ‘He’s very nice indeed.’

Russell Fox nodded. He stood up from the island platform regretfully and said, “Since he has something to do, don’t think too much about it. A man’s career naturally has to be at the top.”

“I will. I won’t think too much about it.” Because she’d made it up in the first place.

She still could not understand why Ulric Swanson suddenly stopped being affectionate with her.

However, a woman’s sixth sense told her that this was not a good sign.

Although love and sex were not completely tied together, sex would naturally happen under the premise of love.

However, if she didn’t even think about sex, it would mean that the other party didn’t love her enough and even hated her.

At the thought of this possibility, Mabel Fox panicked and was afraid.

Russell Fox did not know what Mabel Fox was thinking and continued to educate her in the tone of someone who had been through this before.

“It’s not just for now. It’ll be the same in the future. A man’s love will fade very quickly. If you want Ulric Swanson to always like you and let you sit in his wife’s position, you have to learn to be magnanimous and learn to see the bigger picture.”

Mabel Fox sneered in her heart.

Magnanimous? Looking at the bigger picture?

Was he teaching her that even if Ulric Swanson had an affair in the future, she had to forgive him unconditionally countless times, or even turn a blind eye?

She did not know if she could do it, but when Russell Fox, a father, said this, it sounded especially disgusting.

Mabel Fox could not help but interrupt Russell Fox. She diverted Russell Fox’s attention and said, “Dad, there’s something else. Have you forgotten?”

“What is it?”

“Grandma has been living in her hometown for more than a month. Are you sure you don’t want to visit her?”

“I’ll think about these things myself. You don’t have to worry about them. Just prepare for the Ander Morgan assessment.”

At the mention of Grandma Maria Fox, Russell Fox did not continue the previous topic. Instead, he waved his hand and said, “I drank a little and am a little drunk. I’ll go upstairs first. You should rest early too.”

“Okay.” Mabel Fox smiled and watched Russell Fox go upstairs.

Her smile quickly faded, replaced by coldness.

Ever since her mother’s accident and Maria Fox left home, this family had long been broken up.

Russell Fox did not dare to meet Maria Fox because he did not want to face this fact.

However, it was good that Maria Fox did not come back. When she saw that old woman who was biased towards Melody Fox, she felt annoyed. It would be best if she died in the countryside!

Otherwise, when Maria Fox returned, she might have to bring Melody Fox back to the Fox family.

She couldn’t stand it!

Mabel Fox felt extremely frustrated at the thought of this possibility.

She was even more frustrated than Ulric Swanson when he said he would send her home.

She kept pacing back and forth, suddenly rooted to the spot, a vicious plan forming in her mind.

Since that was a possibility, he might as well cut off the possibility from the source.

As long as Maria Fox died, wouldn’t she no longer be biased towards the living?

The corners of Mabel Fox’s lips curled up coldly as she calmly walked upstairs.

She had to do this matter cleanly and think about it at length. She could not be in a hurry.

Otherwise, she would end up like her mother, who was already dead. The fact that she had poisoned María Fox would eventually be discovered.

When the time came, it would be like killing a chicken but eating rice instead.

Meanwhile, in Insterimond…

Insterimond at night was more energetic than Insterimond during the day.

Ai Chunrou’s matter had already become a public after-meal joke in Insterimond’s white-collar circle.

Melody Fox personally watched Ken Swanson take the last pill. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief and say, “After taking this medicine, there shouldn’t be any problems. After a nap, you should be able to completely recover tomorrow.”

Ken Swanson nodded and looked at Melody Fox with extreme gentleness. “With you around, even this illness can be scared away by you.”

Melody Fox pursed her lips and said, “You’re still talking! This time, you’re so sick that your fever is so high. Other than not being acclimatized, it’s also because you’re tired. When a person is tired, their immunity will decrease. Once their immunity decreases, any virus will easily invade your body.”

Ken Swanson looked at Melody Fox dotingly while she nagged at him.

It was still noon when she returned from the hotel. It was already nighttime, but she was not tired at all and kept muttering to him.

However, not only did he not find this nagging annoying, he even enjoyed it very much.

Other than Margaret Swanson who would nag him like this, only Melody Fox would treat him like this.

He knew how well she treated him.

Ken Swanson held Melody Fox’s hand and interlocked their fingers.

“Got it. In the future, I’ll definitely pay attention to the balance between work and rest. I won’t let my personal doctor personality pop out again, okay, honey?”

Melody Fox glared at him helplessly. She knew that she had been nagging for too long, so she stopped.

“By the way, I’m going to Insterimond University tomorrow to take the special talent enrollment examination. I might have woken up very early and left. I’m telling you in advance.”

Ken Swanson nodded and said, “Then I’ll send you there. We can even have breakfast together.”

“Don’t. You’d better sleep until you wake up naturally so that your vitality can recover more fully. However, we need to change to another hotel. The exam will last for two days in a row. It’s a little too far from here.”

Ken Swanson made a prompt decision. “Then we’ll change tonight.”

“It’s better not to torture yourself. Your body can’t handle it.” Ken Swanson glanced at her meaningfully.

“Then do you want me to take a look at my body and see if it can withstand the torture?”

Chapter 1012

This was not the first time Ken Swanson was joking. Melody Fox’s expression did not change. Instead, she laughed and said, “Then do you think what the doctor said is right or what you said is right? Have you heard of myocarditis? It most often happens during the recovery period of a high fever. If you do intense exercise during the recovery period, it’s very easy to get myocarditis.”

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on Ken Swanson.

“Why is it that my illness has already recovered, and your doctor personality is even more obvious than before?”

The atmosphere immediately dissipated. It was really his usual style.

However, Ken Swanson still noticed that Melody Fox’s ears slowly turned red.

Actually, she was still shy. She was just pretending to be calm.

His thin lips curved slightly. He knew that she was thin-skinned in this aspect, so he did not expose her. He only said, “But you haven’t told me how you agreed to collaborate with Ou Jing.”

Melody Fox briefly described how she had found a way to get close to the Liu couple and happened to save Orek’s life with surgery.

However, no matter how casually Melody Fox said it, Ken Swanson still heard a hint of danger from it.

He frowned and said, “It’s such a big risk. You have to think about it carefully in the future. It’s just that I didn’t expect that the person you saved was actually Orrick. When you performed the surgery, I was busy, so I didn’t watch the video. I only roughly knew that to gain the trust of the Liu family, you solved a tricky surgery.”

Melody Fox spread her hands. “I didn’t expect it either. I always thought that he was a Halcyon person with the surname Ou. I didn’t expect him to be from Europe.”

“Do you know his identity now?”

“Of course. Not only is he the founder of Ou Jing, but he’s also the president of the most famous international venture capital company. Even your father has to give him some face when he sees him.”

Ken Swanson raised his eyebrows. “Then let me ask you if you knew his identity as a big shot, would you still dare to operate on him?”

Melody Fox looked at Ken Swanson. Instead of answering, she asked, “Compared to me, his status is very different, right?”

“In the eyes of others, that’s true. In my eyes, you’re more powerful and important than him.”

Melody Fox shrugged. “I’m talking about serious business with you. Don’t talk about this. I’m talking about social status.”

“Alright, then you’re right. In the eyes of others, there’s indeed a huge disparity between you and Orek. His economic empire is something that even the Swanson Group can’t compare to. Therefore, many people, including those around him, will respectfully call him Emp, which means king or emperor.”

“Then let’s replace Mr. Ou with your grandmother.” “Yes?”

“I knew about your grandmother’s identity in the past, but I still chose to save her. When I saved her, I wasn’t 100% confident in my heart. I couldn’t bear the consequences of failure. But I still did it, so… do you know my answer now?” Ken Swanson was silent for a moment before he sighed and said, “With your personality, it’s easy for you to suffer losses. But it’s fine. It’s different from before. You have me now. No matter what kind of mess it is, I’ll take care of it, so don’t be afraid. Just do what you want. But the premise is that you can’t put yourself in danger.”

Melody Fox’s heart warmed.

“Got it, Big Boss!.”

Ken Swanson could not help but pull Melody Fox into his arms.

“I’m telling you the truth. I’m your backer. You don’t have to be afraid that no one will support you. With me here, you can be a little willful. You don’t have to be so sensible.”

Melody Fox’s eyes turned red.

She was raised by her master, so her master was naturally good to her. However, he taught her to be sensible and not to be willful.

She hugged Ken Swanson back and said, “Now I know the difference between you and my master.”

“Yes?”

“You and Master are both people who truly love me and dote on me for my own good. It’s just that there’s still a slight difference between the two of you.”

Ken Swanson could not help but ask jealously, “Then do you like your master more, or do you like me more?” Melody Fox quickly retreated from Ken Swanson’s embrace.

“This can’t be compared. Without Master, I wouldn’t have lived until now. I’m afraid I would have been tortured to death by that couple in the countryside.”

“What if I’m not here?”

“Without you… I might be alone for the rest of my life. Before I met you, I didn’t think I would fall in love with someone without any scruples. I might not even love anyone for the rest of my life.”

Ken Swanson was satisfied.

He kissed her on the lips and talked about something else. “Speaking of which, Orek once helped me. When I first founded Ximber Tech, Orrick gave me start-up capital that allowed Ximber Tech to rise in the shortest time. Moreover, when the company was first established, he did not use his investment as a reason to take too many shares. Even now, although he still has shares in Ximber Tech, he has no intention of interfering in management.”

‘Orek told me about it. He also said he was hoping to buy us both a meal some other time.’

“He knows about our relationship?”

“Yes, and he seems to be sincerely wishing us well.”

“Orek is a good person. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked him to invest in angel funds. Unfortunately, the people on his wife’s side don’t seem to have a good character.” “How so?”

“Orek is years older than us. When Ou Jing hasn’t been founded yet. He’s from a prominent noble family in Europe. You know the nobles there. Only people of similar status are allowed to marry. Therefore, they’re a classic political and commercial marriage.

However, there were rumors that his wife loved him very much, but he loved a Halcyon woman, an ordinary woman. However, because of his family, he could only marry his current wife. The two of them had never gotten along after marriage. “Moreover, in recent years, there has been news that her wife’s family wants Orek to appoint his wife’s nephew as the heir. Orek did not agree, so that woman used many methods to stir up trouble to the entire corporation.”

Melody Fox suddenly understood.

“No wonder…”

“Yes?”

She told Ken Swanson in a low voice that Orek did not have a heart disease, but he was diagnosed with a heart disease and had damaged his vitality many times.

Ken Swanson’s eyes darkened.

“Then it must have been done by someone on his wife’s side. Her wife’s family is very ambitious.”

“Indeed, no wealthy family is shallow.”

“Then don’t worry. Our family’s water level will definitely be shallow in the future.”

Melody Fox shrugged. “Then let’s make it clear first. Our future children, be they boys or girls, don’t force their feelings.

Let them freely choose the person they like to marry.”

“Of course. We can’t let them go through the rain we’ve been through, can we? But it would be best if you could still have a son and not a daughter.”

“Why? Do you favor boys over girls?”

“I’m innocent. I just can’t bear to see the daughter you gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy being bullied by other boys in the future.”

“Tsk, our daughter can only bully others. No one else can bully her.”

“That’s true… Whoever dares to bully our daughter is tired of living.”

Chapter 1013

Melody Fox could not help but smile when she saw Ken Swanson gritting his teeth as if he had already expected what would happen to his daughter in the future.

“The baby hasn’t even been decided yet, and you’re already so anxious. If you really give birth to a daughter, I’ll wait for her to grow up!”

“What can we do? We can only lock her in the house and prevent any man from getting close to her.”

“Then you’re harming her!”

Ken Swanson pinched her face.

“Alright, I’m just spouting nonsense. I’ll definitely find the most outstanding boy with the best character for her.”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s getting late. Hurry up and sleep. I’ll go to the living room to pray. After all, it’s an exam. I have to make some preparations.”

“Then I’ll accompany you.”

“Don’t make me repeat what I just told you,” Melody Fox said coldly.

Ken Swanson had no choice but to nod obediently. “Alright, I’ll rest first, but don’t blame me if I can’t sleep.”

“Got it. You can get some sleep with your eyes closed.”

Melody Fox left Ken Swanson’s arms and walked to the living room.

However, not long after Melody Fox left, Ken Swanson quietly took out the tablet hidden under his pillow and prepared to work.

Unexpectedly, Melody Fox’s voice suddenly sounded-

“I knew you wouldn’t be so honest!”

Ken Swanson was shocked. For the first time, he felt guilty when Melody Fox caught him sneaking to work.

He smiled helplessly.

“I still can’t hide it from you… Did you install a surveillance camera in our room? You know everything…”

“I didn’t install a surveillance camera in our room. I placed a roundworm in your stomach. I know when you want to go to the toilet,” Melody Fox joked. Then, her face quickly darkened.

“Ken Swanson, don’t take your body so lightly. I’m really going to get angry.”

Ken Swanson raised his hands in surrender.

“I was wrong! But, wife, just give me ten minutes. I still need to carefully check the contract with Ou Jing to ensure that the people below are not wrong.”

Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and asked, “Are you talking about the contract with Ou Jing?”

“Yeah.”

“Then you don’t have to look at the old contract on your tablet. I signed a new contract with Ou Jing.”

“Yes?”

“You’re sick, and I’m taking over Ou Jing’s collaboration project, so Shi Kai didn’t tell you. However, since you said that you only need ten minutes, I’ll give you ten minutes, in case you can’t even sleep well.”

As Melody Fox spoke, she took out her phone and sent the new contract that she had finally signed with Zuo Ye.

Ken Swanson opened the email and glanced at it. With just one glance, he was so surprised that his pupils dilated. “This, this is a new contract? Are you sure?”

“If you don’t believe me, you can call Zuo Ye or Mr. Ou to ask.”

“Forget it. Of course, I believe you. It’s just that this contract… is really a little unbelievable.”

However, when Ken Swanson thought about how Melody Fox had saved Orek’s life and even let Orek know that he did not have a heart disease at all, it was reasonable for Orek to thank her with a project.

“Looks like Orek really appreciates you.”

Melody Fox spread her hands. “Without me, he would definitely die. However, I didn’t take the initiative. I didn’t go overboard and let him sign such an overbearing contract.”

“So they took the initiative? Orek is really generous.”

“Not entirely. I have to thank Liu Gaoyi for this.”

“Yes?”

Melody Fox explained the situation in the shortest possible way.

Ken Swanson could not help but laugh when he heard this. “Liu Gaoyi is really digging his own grave. The mastermind behind this trap must not have thought that his actions would give you and the Swanson Group a big gift. It seems like someone won’t be able to sleep tonight.” “Did you say Ulric Swanson?”

“Yes. I wonder how he will deal with Liu Gaoyi.”

“Based on his personality, I’m afraid he’ll be so angry that he’ll kill him.”

Ken Swanson could not help but look up at Melody Fox. Melody Fox felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. She scratched her neck, which was actually not itchy, and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because I have a feeling that you know Ulric Swanson better than I do.”

Melody Fox quickly found an excuse.

“Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. I’ve worked hard to understand my enemies.”

Ken Swanson’s intuition told him that there must be something wrong, but since Melody Fox did not want to say it, he did not force it.

He believed that one day, Melody Fox would tell him all the mysteries about her.

She did not take the initiative to say it now, probably because she did not fully trust him.

But it didn’t matter. He could use a lifetime of patience to wait for her to take the initiative to explain.

Ken Swanson changed the topic and said, “Since the contract has become like this, there’s no need for me to look at it anymore. Hurry up and study. The earlier you start, the earlier you can end it. Otherwise, you won’t be energetic tomorrow.”

“Okay, I’ll go. Don’t let me catch you again. I’ll come in and take a look.”

After saying that, Melody Fox took away Ken Swanson’s tablet. Ken Swanson didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

When he reached the living room, Melody Fox took a casual glance and realized that Ken Swanson’s tablet wallpaper was actually her photo.

She did not know what Ken Swanson was thinking. It was a side profile photo. It was clearly… ugly, but he used it as wallpaper? Wasn’t he afraid that others would laugh at his aesthetic taste?

Melody Fox subconsciously touched her face.

The detoxification could not be delayed any longer.

She had already gotten the medicine. She had also brought the other herbs. After the exam ended, she would start to prepare the antidote.

In her previous life, in order to give Ulric Swanson a surprise, she had controlled the dosage of the antidote very low and deliberately delayed it until after the wedding.

However, she did not have to do this in her life. She wanted to give Ken Swanson a surprise as soon as possible.

In this way, the dosage would be maxed out and her appearance would be completely restored in three days. However, the price of doing so was that her face would become even uglier in the next three days.

Therefore, it was better to leave it after the exam ended so as not to scare the other examinees.

Melody Fox put down the tablet and began to prepare for the exam after organizing his thoughts.

She had signed up for a total of three subjects this time.

They were: Halcyon painting, mixed martial arts for women, and fashion design.

The subjects for tomorrow’s exam were fashion design, and the day after tomorrow was female mixed martial arts and Halcyon paintings.

There was no need to practice mixed martial arts. She would get up early the next morning and practice a set of mixed martial arts moves. It would be considered familiarizing herself with mixed martial arts. Usually, no one would be her match.

The test drawn by Halcyon was a question test, so there was no need to prepare for it.

Therefore, the only thing he needed to prepare was the theoretical knowledge of fashion design.

That was because fashion design had to test theory and practice.

Melody Fox had asked Spencer to buy her a thick stack of tools before they set off. There was free time in one night that ordinary people could not finish reading.

However, Melody Fox could read ten lines at a glance and had a photographic memory, so there was no pressure at all.

However, after she finished reading the stack of books, she still used a lot of time to read.

By the time she finished reading the last page, it was already three in the morning.

Chapter 1014

Melody Fox rubbed her dry eyes, closed the book, and tiptoed back to the bedroom.

Among the medicines Ken Swanson took, one of the cold medicines had a sleeping ingredient, so under the effect of the medicine, he fell asleep very early.

Melody Fox was afraid of waking him up, so she even moved to the living room to wash up.

However, when she lifted the blanket and lay on the bed, Ken Swanson still woke up.

“I’m sorry for waking you up…”

She quickly apologized, but Ken Swanson kissed her directly.

However, this was just a light kiss. After kissing her, Ken Swanson quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Melody Fox did not know whether to laugh or cry. Perhaps Ken Swanson had thought that he was dreaming.

However, even in this state, he still wanted to kiss her. It still made her happy.

After a dreamless night, they both had a good night’s sleep.

Melody Fox woke up early. After washing up, he went to look for Aaron Berg to spar.

The two of them found an empty space and began to spar under the watch of Spencer.

After more than ten rounds, Aaron Berg was clearly at a disadvantage.

Just as Aaron Berg was about to give it his all, Melody Fox had already seized his Achilles’ heel.

Aaron Berg had no choice but to let go and admit defeat. “Miss Fox, I lost.”

Losing to Melody Fox was not embarrassing at all. He had at least exchanged a dozen moves with Melody Fox. It was already considered an improvement.

If it was Spencer, he might not even be able to withstand three moves.

However, he also clearly felt that Melody Fox’s skills had clearly improved again.

He was really envious. Talented people could be so powerful without training every day.

However, what Aaron Berg did not know was that although Melody Fox did not seem to be practicing boxing every day, once she had the time, she would concentrate her energy on her dantian to cultivate her lower body. She would also practice Qigong to merge her body and mind into one to reach the highest realm of martial arts.

Ever since she was reborn, other than the occasional few days, she had not slacked off for a single day.

Melody Fox released her grip on Aaron Berg’s throat and took a step back. “You’ve improved.”

Aaron Berg lowered his head and said, “Ever since I fought with you in the black market, I felt that there was always someone better than me, so I didn’t dare to relax my martial arts every day. It’s my honor to be able to receive Miss Fox’s guidance today.”

The few moves he had just exchanged with Melody Fox had benefited him greatly.

Melody Fox smiled and said, “Then I’ll spar with you more when I’m free.”

Aaron Berg could not help but say excitedly, “Aaron Berg is eternally grateful!”

When Spencer heard this, he was also eager to try.

“Miss Fox, can I try?”

Melody Fox raised his eyebrows. “Of course, I haven’t practiced enough today. Come!”

Two moves later, Spencer fell to the ground.

He got up from the ground, looking ashamed.

“Miss Fox, I lost.”

“It’s fine. This means that you have a lot of room for improvement. It’s a good thing. Alright, I’m sweating. I have to go back and take a shower. Prepare breakfast. I think Ken Swanson should be waking up soon.”

Ken Swanson had gone to bed at ten o’clock last night. It was already seven o’clock. He would soon be waking and was able to sleep enough.

“Yes!”

“Yes!”

The two of them answered in unison.

Melody Fox returned to their room. Ken Swanson had just finished washing up.

“I heard that you went to look for Aaron Berg to spar?” “Yes, I signed up for female mixed martial arts.”

“Isn’t this a blow to the others?”

“You don’t have to accept only one subject in each subject. It doesn’t count. Moreover, I’ve signed up for many subjects. The subjects with the highest scores will be included in the final results. The results of the other subjects don’t count.” “Then you can just sign up for one.”

“It’s fine. I have free time anyway, so I’ll sign up for a few more. Besides… the atmosphere in university is really good.”

There was no seduction in society. Everyone had the most innocent and pure appearance. They were the cleanest of souls.

In her previous life, she was actually very busy with university life. Every day, she would learn the skills taught to her by the big shots her master had saved, so she did not experience university life at all.

“Then when you’re accepted, come here for class. Ximber Tech also has a company here. I’ll accompany you here.”

“I don’t think I need to go to class…”

“If you want to go here to accompany me, why don’t you also go to class?”

“Forget it, forget it. I’m just saying. He’s so many years older than them and has a generation gap. Even if he goes to school, he might not be able to integrate.”

Ken Swanson smiled and said, “You’re only a few years older than them. Don’t make yourself sound so old.”

‘Twenty-six, not so young. In four years’ time, I’ll be thirty.’ “That’s not how age is calculated.”

“Let’s not talk about this. How are you feeling today?”

“Full recovery.”

Just as Melody Fox had said, when he woke up this morning, he clearly felt that his body had completely recovered and he was in good spirits.

As Ken Swanson spoke, he suggested that he would personally send her to Insterimond University.

Melody Fox could not dissuade him. After taking his pulse and seeing that his body had indeed recovered, she nodded in agreement.

“Alright, then send me there. However, you still have to wait until the afternoon to go to work. In the morning, change our hotel near the school and don’t touch work. You still have to recuperate so that it won’t happen again.”

“Got it. I’ll listen to you.”

Soon, breakfast was served.

The breakfast delivered this time was no longer the same as the first day. They moved all the most famous breakfasts from Insterimond over.

Instead, they were all gifts that she had praised last time. There was no longer something like Insterimond bean juice that she was not used to.

After breakfast, it was already 7:30 pm. There was still a little time left before she had to report to take her exam. The two of them got into the car without stopping. Finally, they arrived at the road opposite the entrance of Insterimond University 20 minutes in advance.

“Alright, we’re here. Go back. Don’t forget what I told you.”

“Yes, I remember. Just lie down in another hotel and don’t work.”

“Yeah, if I find out you’re working in secret, you’re dead.”

Ken Swanson pretended to surrender.

“I wouldn’t dare.”

Melody Fox could not help but laugh. She opened the door and got out of the car. She waited for Ken Swanson’s car to drive away before walking over.

However, she had only walked halfway when she heard a cry for help.

“Help-let me go! Save me, he’s taking me away!”

Melody Fox looked in the direction of the voice. However, because there were too many people gathered nearby, she could only vaguely see a man pulling a girl.

With so many people watching, nothing should happen.

Melody Fox did not intend to get involved, but the noise on the other side still reached her ears uncontrollably.

It couldn’t be helped. Her hearing was better than ordinary people to begin with.

The people around them said, “What are you doing? Are you a human trafficker? How dare you kidnap a little girl in broad daylight?”

“It’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding,” a male voice explained. “She’s my girlfriend and she’s having a fight with me! I’m not a human trafficker. Have you seen a human trafficker driving Maserati?”

“Eh? He does seem to be driving Maserati.”

“Then he’s not a human trafficker.”

Chapter 1015

The passersby who wanted to help looked behind the man. His luxury car alone cost seven figures to modify.

Moreover, the men’s clothes were all extremely rich.

His pair of shoes was a limited edition worldwide. Some college students knew him and said it, so they immediately believed the man’s words.

After all, no human trafficker would be so high-profile, let alone be a human trafficker when he was so rich.

Most importantly, no one wanted to get involved in a couple’s quarrel.

If you got involved, you would help others with your heart. In the end, when others reconciled, they would blame you.

The girl whose wrist was held tightly by the man saw that the onlookers were slowly dispersing. She was completely flustered.

“No, don’t go. Don’t listen to him! He’s a human trafficker!” “Wife, don’t be angry. If this gets out of hand and we really end up in the police station, it won’t look good on either of us.”

“Get lost!” The girl’s expression was extremely ugly. ” Everyone, don’t believe his words. I’m not his girlfriend at all. I don’t know him at all. This is the first time I’ve seen him today. Believe me!”

“Wife, stop fooling around. Come back with me. I’ll go home and kneel on the keyboard to apologize to you, okay? If it really doesn’t work, I can kneel on durians too, okay?”

The man’s intimate and successful apology made the passers-by not only have no intention of attacking, but they also tried to persuade the girl.

“Little girl, your boyfriend treats you so well. Don’t be angry with him. No matter how wrong he is, he has apologized sincerely now, right?”

“That’s right. It won’t be easy to find a man who’s so rich and devoted to you in the future!”

Everyone could not help but say enviously.

The girl was so anxious that tears flowed out.

“No, I really don’t know him. I swear to God, please call the police for me. Save me! Don’t let him take me away!”

However, who would believe the words of this girl?

The man’s lips curled into a smug smile as he hooked his arms around the woman’s neck.

“Wife, come home with me. We’ll talk when we get home. Don’t argue outside. You’ll affect others.”

After the man finished speaking loudly, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “B*tch, stop struggling. No one will save you. You might as well obey me obediently. I can even give you a sum of benefits! Looking at your clothes, your family’s conditions shouldn’t be too good. As long as you accompany me for a day, I’ll give you twenty thousand dollars! How about it? Just follow me obediently!”

“Don’t even think about it! Let go of me! Help! He’s really a human trafficker! Please help me!”

The people around him naturally could not hear the man’s words, but they were even more speechless at the girl who was still shouting for help.

“Look, your boyfriend knows the big picture! Young lady, you know something too!”

An auntie clicked her tongue twice. She looked like she hated herself for not being young anymore. After saying that, she was about to leave.

The girl suddenly had an idea.

Her hand was very long. When the auntie passed by her, she used all her strength to slap the phone in the auntie’s hand to the ground.

With a bang, the middle-aged woman’s phone screen shattered.

The auntie’s expression changed instantly.

“What are you doing?! Give me back my phone!”

“I’m not paying! Call the police!” The girl had already thought of an excuse and blurted out.

“You, you’re hopeless! It’s fine if you don’t listen to my advice, but you actually smashed my phone! What did your parents teach you?! Your boyfriend must be blind to be with you!”

“Then call the police!” The girl pretended to be unreasonable.

The auntie’s expression turned even uglier…

“So be it! Don’t think that I don’t dare!” The middle-aged woman said as she called her husband, who was with her, and said, “Hubby! Hurry up and call the police! If children these days don’t go to the police station to be educated, they’ll go down the wrong path sooner or later!”

“Alright, wife! Don’t go overboard!”

The man pulled the woman over forcefully and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, making her unable to move.

There was a huge disparity between their sizes, so the woman could not break free at all.

After the man reprimanded his “wife”, he stopped the old man who was about to make a call with an apologetic expression and apologized repeatedly. “I’m sorry! The two of you, I’m really sorry! My girlfriend has been spoiled by me, but she’s not a bad person. Please give her a chance. Don’t ruin her future.”

“If you really call the police, it will be very difficult for her to find a job in the future. Moreover, she’s still a student now. She really can’t enter such a place.”

“However, I won’t let you suffer a loss. How much is your phone? I’ll compensate you ten times the original price. I won’t let you suffer a loss. Please let my girlfriend off!”

The man spoke sincerely, and the compensation he gave was even more tempting.

Ten times!

She had repaired her phone a few times. If she sold it second-hand, she would be considered to have a conscience if she could sell it for 100 dollars.

But now, the other party wanted to compensate them ten times the original price. They had picked up a huge bargain.

Besides, the man didn’t feel like he was going to humiliate them with money, so he gave them enough face.

Therefore, after the two old men looked at each other, they decisively chose to accept the man’s compensation.

The auntie said, “My phone costs more than $2,000. However, I won’t give you the chance. Give me $20, 000!”

“$20,000? Alright, no problem!”

The man’s gaze slanted. A lackey behind him took out $20, 000 from his bag and handed it to the two old men with both hands.

The middle-aged woman took the money and could not hide the joy in her eyes, but she did not forget to educate the girl again.

“Young lady, we’re willing to forgive you this time because of your boyfriend’s words. You’d better go home with him obediently. It’s really a blessing in your previous life to have such a boyfriend. Don’t cherish him!”

The girl’s expression was even uglier than crying.

She was completely disheartened and could no longer speak. Two streams of tears kept flowing down her face.

The man was right. No one believed her.

Even if she used the method mentioned in the news to

smash the valuables of passers-by and get them to call the police…

Obviously, this method was not suitable for her current situation.

Could it be that she really could not escape today?

She could actually encounter such a thing in broad daylight. Was this God’s arrangement? Was this her fate? Was it God’s punishment for her unwillingness to accept fate’s arrangement?

Could it be that she had to struggle at the bottom for the rest of her life before the heavens would let her off?

Tears fell silently, making the man extremely frustrated. “Stop crying! Come with me!”

As the man spoke, he pulled her towards the luxury car.

The passers-by also dispersed, knowing that they didn’t need their help anymore.

Right at this moment…

Melody Strikes Back by Myra Walker (Chapters 996, 997, 998, 999, 1000, 1001, 1002, 1003, 1004, 1005) 

Chapter 996

“President Shi…”

Assistant Hou pulled a long face and was about to cry.

However, when he saw that Shi Kai looked like he was about to laugh, he was immediately shocked. He was afraid that Shi Kai would vomit blood from anger again, so he quickly comforted him. “President Shi, take a deep breath first… Don’t be too agitated! Anything can happen. Nothing is so absolute. You have to calm down!”

Shi Kai misunderstood Assistant Hou’s meaning and nodded in agreement as he watched Melody Fox approach. “That’s right. Anything can happen. Nothing is so absolute. You’re absolutely right. We all have to calm down.”

Not only did he have to be calm, but he also had to pretend that he didn’t see anything.

The more this was the case, the more uncomfortable Liu Gaoyi, that bastard, felt.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time!

Shi Kai took a deep breath and forced himself to be calm as he faced Melody Fox.

“Mrs. Swanson, you’re back!”

Shi Kai first greeted Melody Fox. Then, after Melody Fox responded to him, she walked straight toward Liu Gaoyi. How could Melody Fox not know what Shi Kai was thinking? However, when she thinks about how Shi Kai has been suppressed by Liu Gaoyi and the others for too long, she does not stop him. She stopped Assistant Hou and said, “The meeting room is empty, right? If it’s empty, get everyone involved in this project to gather in the meeting room.” Assistant Hou was resentful, but he did not dare to be angry or say anything to Melody Fox. He did not dare to say anything else and shrunk his neck to gather the employees who were looking forward to it.

“Hey, you guys! Stop looking! Gather in the conference room! Don’t squeeze with Mrs. Swanson!”

Everyone was about to ask about the situation when they saw Assistant Hou’s ugly expression. They instantly understood everything.

The people from the various factions looked at each other with different emotions.

Liu Gaoyi’s men were naturally overjoyed. They raised their heads and puffed out their chests as they walked towards the elevator.

On the other hand, the people from Shikai – Ken Swanson’s faction were all dejected, as if they had lost their souls. They automatically followed the crowd.

As for the neutral ones, they had already decided to take Liu Gaoyi’s side in the future.

There were even more people who were worried about their future. They had already started to walk side by side with Liu Gaoyi’s group. It was easier to curry favor with them in the future.

This action made Liu Gaoyi’s group even more smug. However, because Melody Fox was not far behind them, they did not dare to say anything. They just walked with their noses in the air.

Just say it? If it weren’t for Manager Liu, Mrs. Swanson would not have done anything!

Why didn’t she listen to him?

‘Haha.’

Shikai had already arrived in front of Liu Gaoyi.

He observed Liu Gaoyi’s face, which was even uglier than if he had eaten shit. He pretended to be concerned and asked, “Ah! Brother Liu, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look so pale? Your lips seem to be a little pale! Don’t tell me you’re suffering from heatstroke? Look at this damn weather. Why is it so sultry on a cloudy day? It’s even hotter than the past few days ago!”

Without waiting for Liu Gaoyi to speak, Shi Kai continued, “I have to tell the people in the logistics department to distribute some Huoxiang Morality Water to every department so that they won’t know when the weather changes. They have to force themselves to continue working!”

There was a hidden meaning in his words. He was used by Liu Gaoyi to provoke Shi Kai.

Now that Shi Kai had returned the favor with an eye for an eye, Liu Gaoyi’s already ugly expression became even uglier. In the past, Shi Kai would never call him “Brother Liu.”

Liu Gaoyi was so angry that his hands were trembling. He stood rooted to the ground and glared at Shi Kai as he asked, “President Shi, is there a point in doing this? You’re already so old, yet you still talk like a child.”

“Hehe, I’ve always been like this. We’ve worked together for so long, do you still know me? As the saying goes, a fool has a fool’s luck. It’s not a good thing to be too smart. It’s easier for a stupid person like me to lead a good life.”

“You!”

However, Shi Kai directly interrupted Liu Gaoyi’s words. “Oh right! Look at my brain. I’m old, after all. I almost forgot to ask about serious matters. Where did you go this time? How’s the collaboration going? What did Ou Jing say?”

Liu Gaoyi almost couldn’t breathe.

“Since CEO Shi already knows in his heart, why are you still asking me? Is it interesting?”

“Eh? I didn’t go with you. How would I know the result? I was too concerned about your health just now and only cared about greeting Mrs. Swanson. Didn’t you hear me? I didn’t ask at all… Good brother, tell me. What was the result?”

“Heh! Ask Mrs. Swanson yourself! I’m not feeling well and have a heatstroke! I need to rest!”

After Liu Gaoyi finished speaking, he knocked Shi Kai’s shoulder and walked into the company.

Shi Kai was not angry after being hit. Instead, his mood became even brighter.

He glanced at Ai Chunrou, whose expression was extremely complicated, and his smile suddenly faded.

“Ai Chunrou, we were once colleagues who worked hard towards the same goal. I wonder if you’ll regret it now?”

“-“

Before Ai Chunrou could reply, Shi Kai had already turned around and left.

A few minutes later, the group of people returned to the conference room in a grandiose manner, except for Ai Chunrou and Liu Gaoyi.

Melody Fox noticed it at a glance.

Shi Kaishi stood up and said, “Mrs. Swanson. Manager Liu said that he was not feeling well, so he went to rest first.”

Melody Fox nodded slightly and said calmly, “Manager Liu’s body is a little weak. You have to be more sympathetic to him. If you have any heavy work in the future, find someone to share it with him. Don’t let him continue to force himself. He can work better if he’s healthy.”

Shi Kai was not stupid. He immediately understood what Melody Fox meant. He picked an employee he liked and said, “In the future, you’ll go to the project department and be an assistant manager. Remember to help Manager Liu share more work, especially those with strong work intensity.”

The employee immediately replied, “Mrs. Swanson. Boss Shi, don’t worry. I’ll definitely ‘assist’ Manager Liu!”

Everyone looked at each other.

‘What happened?’

Didn’t the collaboration collapse? How could this woman be qualified to control Manager Liu? What right did she have?

Melody Fox observed the puzzled expressions on everyone’s faces and was slightly surprised. Why did these people not seem to know the outcome?

Forget it, since she didn’t know, she would tell her!

“Cough, cough!”

Melody Fox cleared her throat and said, “On this trip, the collaboration went very smoothly. Mr. Zuo has already signed the contract. We need to organize the information and bring people to Ou Jing to officially go through the process of collaboration with them. Those who want to go can recommend themselves.”

As soon as she said this, there was like a sudden clap of thunder that blew up the entire conference room.

“What?!”

“How could this be…”

“That’s great!! I thought…”

The three gangs had three different attitudes.

Among them, Assistant Hou’s expression was the most cold.

His jaw nearly dropped.

Chapter 997

Assistant Hou, who had small eyes and single eyelids, had never opened his eyes so wide.

‘What happened?’

Didn’t the collaboration fail? Miss Fox didn’t look surprised at all. Why did the collaboration succeed?

Before he could figure this out, Assistant Hou was so excited that tears fell.

“Boohoo… That’s great, that’s great!”

“False alarm” was simply the most beautiful idiom in the world!

He loved this feeling!

“Mrs. Swanson, you’re amazing. From now on, you’re my goddess! I admire you so much!”

Assistant Hou wanted to kneel down in front of Melody Fox. Everyone’s reactions were different. Melody Fox gestured for Shi Kaiyi to memorize their reactions before answering Assistant Hou.

“I’m not a goddess. Speaking of which… I’m actually lucky in this matter. However, since the contract has been signed, we have to do this project well. We can’t let Ou Jing think that we chose the wrong person. Do you understand?” “Understood!” The loud voice of the people from Shi Kai’s faction almost pierced through the clouds.

It was very satisfying! It was very satisfying!!!

It had been a long, long time since they had such a good time!

Mrs. Swanson, mighty!

Melody Fox nodded and reminded again, “Didn’t anyone recommend themselves? It’s a rare opportunity to interact with Ou Jing’s people. In the future, your resumes will be very colorful.”

As soon as he said this, everyone realized that Melody Fox had mentioned it.

People raised their hands one after another.

Of course, no one from Liu Gaoyi’s faction dared to raise their hands, nor did anyone have the nerve to raise their hands.

“President Shi, take note of these people who recommended themselves. When you personally lead the team over, I won’t participate in the subsequent projects. You’re more professional than me in this aspect.” “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare! But I’ll do my best, I’ll do my best. I won’t let anything go wrong with the project!” Shi Kai said as if he was making a military order.

“Okay, then you can go over when you’re ready later. The sooner you decide on the plan, the sooner we can start the formal cooperation.”

“Yes!”

“Oh, right… Keep an eye on Ai Chunrou’s resignation procedures. I’ll have to trouble you with the Human Resources Department.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll settle everything today!”

“Your body…”

“There’s nothing wrong with my body, I’m pretty healthy.!”

As the saying goes, people are in high spirits when they are happy! He was a hundred times more energetic now and did not feel tired at all!

When he was so angry, the uncomfortable feeling was completely gone.

“Alright, then you have to take care of your health. I’ll go back and take a look at Ken Swanson first.”

“Yes! Please let Eldest Young Master rest well. We’re here!”

Melody Fox did not say anything else. After bidding farewell to Shi Kai, she left with Spencer.

Until Melody Fox’s figure completely disappeared from the door of the conference room, Liu Gaoyi and the others were still sitting there in a daze.

Was there anyone who could tell us everything that Melody Fox said just now, was it just an illusion? Was it all fake? Was it all their imagination?

However, no matter how unwilling they were to believe the truth, they had no choice but to believe that this was the truth. Melody Fox had indeed easily obtained the project that they had been fighting for with their lives.

However, the only response they received was Melody Fox’s back which had already left and no longer existed.

Right then, Shi Kai exclaimed. He held the contract left behind by Melody Fox and asked, “What’s this? Are you kidding me?”

Assistant Hou was shocked, afraid that something unexpected had happened. He quickly asked, “What’s wrong, President Shi? Is there a problem with the cooperation?”

“It’s more than that. It’s more than a problem. The problem is simply huge…”

Shi Kai’s expression was ice-cold as he said, “This is simply an overlord contract!”

Assistant Hou immediately came over to take a look. When he saw the terms of the contract, he covered his mouth in shock.

Liu Gaoyi’s faction instantly perked up and came over to look at the contract as if they had been revived.

“What’s going on? Did Ou Jing sign it after giving up a lot of benefits?”

If that was the case, he might as well not sign the contract!

The risk of working with Ou Jing was very high! If he was not careful, he would be finished!

However, they soon saw the regulations written on the contract.

It was indeed an overlord clause.

However, the Overlord Clause was on the side of Division Insterimond.

No one could believe that Ou Jing was willing to sign it.

Everyone could not help but look in the direction of the door. Even though Melody Fox was no longer here, their memories of Melody Fox were still extremely clear.

This woman… was definitely not an ordinary person!

Who was the one who spread the rumor that she was an illiterate country woman?

Country bumpkin? Haha! The rumormonger really deserved to die!!

Shi Kai suppressed his excitement and called Melody Fox in a panic.

Melody Fox had just walked out of the elevator when he received a call from Shi Kai.

Puzzled, she asked, “What’s wrong, President Shi?”

“B-Mrs. Swanson, is there a mistake with this contract?” Actually, he wanted to ask if this contract was fake. Melody Fox naturally understood his words. He smiled faintly and said, “There’s no mistake. If there’s a mistake, why would Manager Liu avoid it? It’s all thanks to him that this contract exists…”

Although Shi Kai was not good at talking, he was still very quick-witted.

He quickly guessed what was going on.

However, he could not figure out why Ou Jing would sign this contract.

Shi Kai asked timidly, “Mrs. Swanson, I-I’ll go over with this contract. They won’t hit me, right?”

Melody Fox smiled gently and said, “Don’t worry, they definitely won’t hit you. Not only will they not hit you, they might even be very polite.”

“You’re being polite?”

Forget it!

Almost all of Ou Jing’s people in Division Halcyon were from Europe. They had always looked down on others!

As long as she didn’t hit him, it didn’t matter if she didn’t hold back!

“Alright, do what I told you to do. I still have something on, so I’ll hang up first. Contact me if you have any questions.”

“Yes!”

Shi Kai did not dare to disturb him and quickly hung up. After Melody Fox got into the car, he did not immediately instruct Spencer to return to the hotel. Instead, he asked Spencer, “Where did Ken Swanson stay before Insterimond? I want to make some food for him and bring it over. The food outside is too greasy and not good for his body’s recovery.”

“She lives in the neighborhood next to the company. Shall I take you there?”

“Yes, let’s go buy some vegetables first. Is there a supermarket nearby?”

“Yes, yes!” Spencer nodded repeatedly.

After today’s incident, he was completely impressed by Melody Fox. Naturally, he would do whatever Melody Fox said.

If Melody Fox wanted to go east, he would never take a step west.

“The supermarket is just over there. We’ll definitely walk there faster.”

“Then let’s go!” She called Aaron Berg as she walked.

Chapter 998

The call was quickly picked up.

Melody Fox went straight to the point and asked, “Aaron Berg, has Ken Swanson’s fever subsided?”

“The… the fever has subsided…”

Aaron Berg sounded hesitant.

Melody Fox immediately sensed that something was wrong.

She stopped in her tracks and asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

“No, nothing happened. Sir has improved a lot. After the IV drip, he’s full of energy and doesn’t have a fever anymore. I wonder how the situation is at Division Insterimond?”

Only then did Melody Fox heave a sigh of relief and continue walking.

“The contract is signed. Everything is going smoothly. I’ll make some food for Ken Swanson and bring it over. You don’t have to prepare anything else. The food outside is not as healthy as what you make yourself.”

“T-this? How long will it take?”

Melody Fox looked at the screen on her phone and said, “We’ can arrive before 12 o’clock. He ate breakfast late, so he probably won’t be hungry so quickly. Tell him to wait for me, then try not to look at his phone and close his eyes to rest.”

“Yes…”

A luxury car was slowly driving out of the hotel’s garage door.

Aaron Berg hung up the phone and glanced at Ken Swanson, who was sitting in the back seat of the car. He asked timidly, “Sir, are we really not going to tell Miss Fox that we left the hotel?”

“No need!”

Aaron Berg was so scared that he did not dare to say anything else.

For some reason, although Sir’s body had recovered, his mood had plummeted.

What exactly happened? Why did they have to rush to the vicinity of Branch Insterimond immediately?

However, he had no right to ask. After answering with a yes”, he stepped on the accelerator. The car quickly drove away from the hotel and joined the traffic on the main road.

Branch Insterimond.

Not long after Melody Fox left, Shi Kai brought people from the HR department to find Ai Chunrou.

Before he could say anything, Ai Chunrou picked up a cardboard box and said, “President Shi, Shangao Barclay Lawrence. We’ll meet again if fate allows it!”

A look of surprise flashed across Shi Kai’s eyes.

He thought that Ai Chunrou would be very uncooperative, but in the end… what was going on?

Before Shi Kai could ask, Ai Chunrou said again, “But if we meet again, I will definitely make you regret it!”

Regret? What did he regret?

Shi Kai said with a cold expression, “Remember to confirm again. Don’t take the company’s things away, and don’t leave your own things behind. This desk has already been reserved for someone else. It won’t be convenient for you to come over again.”

“Huh!”

Ai Chunrou sneered and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t return to this desk. I don’t care either! When I see you my workers again, just don’t bow down to me! However, if you kneel down and kowtow to me to admit your mistake, I might forgive you!”

After Ai Chunrou finished speaking, she carried the cardboard box and left the office with her head held high.

She did not look like she had been forced to leave at all.

Shi Kai stared at Ai Chunrou’s back until she left completely before turning to ask the HR manager.

“What’s going on? Is she crazy?”

According to his original guess, Ai Chunrou should be crying, throwing a tantrum, and hanging herself right now.

In order to prevent Ai Chunrou from using these few moves, he even notified the security department and followed up to throw her out.

But now, these people were useless.

The HR manager was also at a loss.

She was also a girl like Ai Chunrou. Although they had not interacted much with each other, she knew very well that Ai Chunrou was not a carefree woman who did not beat around the bush.

“Don’t tell me…” She lowered her voice. “She found the next place?”

“Which one?”

The HR manager pointed in the direction of Liu Gaoyi’s office. Shi Kai immediately understood.

“Impossible! Liu Gaoyi is like a clay Buddha crossing a river. He can’t even protect himself! Moreover, he and Ai Chunrou aren’t on the same side to begin with. How can he care about Ai Chunrou’s life at this juncture?”

There was something else that Shi Kai did not say.

None of Ulric Swanson’s people were easy to deal with. Compared to those people, Ai Chunrou had almost no use for martial arts.

Even if Liu Gaoyi wanted to recommend Ai Chunrou to give him Ulric Swanson yuan, he would not accept it.

Ulric Swanson was not a waste recycling station.

On the other side.

Melody Fox took the bags from the supermarket and entered Ken Swanson’s house in Insterimond,-of course, Spencer was in charge of carrying them.

It would be a waste not to use manual labor.

Spencer knew the password here, so he did not need to go through Ken Swanson.

Melody Fox pushed the door open and entered. She saw that the house was a large flat with a view of more than 200 square meters.

However, there were no decorations at all. There was only the necessary furniture in Room Janet Murphy. Those who did not know better would think that this was a business hotel.

“It’s really his style…”

Melody Fox shook her head and went into the kitchen with his things.

Fortunately, the kitchen was equipped with all the necessary tools. Melody Fox rolled up her sleeves and instructed Spencer to wash the vegetables.

“That, that, all washed. And that, soaked in warm water.” “Yes!” Spencer had never cooked before, but fortunately, with Melody Fox’s command, he was able to cook with ease. But for some reason, Melody Fox felt a little uneasy.

She shook her head and forced herself to focus on cooking. What she was going to cook today was delicious fish soup and her special dish, ginger, and roasted meat.

Ginger could improve the body’s cold and many other effects, but she knew that Ken Swanson did not like ginger, so she neutralized it and chose to make ginger roasted meat that was not greasy and delicious.

The pasta was the same old practice, but this time there were more vegetables of the season.

Since not many people ate it, pasta was quickly completed. After wrapping the pasta, Melody Fox was not in a hurry to put the pasta into the pot. Instead, he prepared to make ginger and roast meat.

Raw ginger roasted meat, sauce was the soul.

First, he ground the ginger into a paste. Then, he added some apple sauce from the supermarket and stir-fried it with onions and garlic. Then, he used a little oil to stir-fry the pork.

The moment the pork changed color and became cooked, the fire was turned off.

Patients were not allowed to eat oily foods, so they needed to use oil-absorbing paper to remove the oil from the surface.

This way, the pork would not be too greasy and would melt in the mouth. The fish and sheep would be extremely tender.

In the end, when the sauce was poured on it, it would become a healthy delicacy that could never be eaten again.

After cooking this, he put it in the thermal lunch box with the rice. Finally, he cooked pasta so that Ken Swanson, who had no appetite and did not want to eat, would serve as another staple food.

In the end, he scooped out the fish soup that he had cooked at the beginning and sprinkled it with green onions. Everything finally ended.

Melody Fox wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, ” Let’s go. We’ll pack it up and send it back to the hotel.”

Spencer almost drooled as he watched from the side.

He had seen a lot of things in the market, but Miss Fox’s skills could easily arouse the glutton in his stomach.

One could imagine how wonderful her culinary skills were!

Now, he finally understood why his master loved Miss Fox so much.

Who wouldn’t love such a wife?

Chapter 999

Ai Chunrou, who had just left Division Insterimond, threw her personal belongings into the trash can at the door and walked into a high-end clothing store opposite the company.

The clothes in this shop were expensive but beautiful and high-end.

Ai Chunrou would only be willing to come here for a stroll on the day of pay. Moreover, she would often only try on clothes and take photos without buying them. Today was not payday. When the shop assistant saw her, her eyes revealed a stunned gaze.

Facing Ai Chunrou, the shop assistant was both disgusted and helpless.

Although the other party was not a generous person and often used clothes to take photos and post Instagram yuan, he would occasionally come to spend money. He could not offend him completely.

Therefore, after seeing Ai Chunrou, although the shop assistant smiled in welcome, she did not care about Ai Chunrou after greeting her.

“What a snob!”

Ai Chunrou scolded the shop assistant in her heart, then began to shop by herself.

When she saw a fiery red low-cut dress she looked in the glass window, and her eyes lit up.

“Xiao Zhou, take this out. I want to try it on!”

The shop assistant’s name was Xiao Zhou. She frowned slightly and walked forward with a flawless smile.

“Sis, this dress is from a certain luxury brand. It’s very expensive. A few rich ladies have asked to try it on. If you don’t buy it…”

“What do you mean?” Ai Chunrou’s face darkened. “Do you think I won’t buy it?”

“How could I dare to think that? I’m just afraid that those rich ladies will be unhappy if the clothes you tried on get dirty.”

“The dress doesn’t have their names written on it. What reason do they have to be unhappy? Cut the crap. I want to try this on! If it suits me, I’ll buy it! Open the window quickly!” Xiao Zhou pursed her lips and hesitated before taking out the dress.

Soon, Ai Chunrou walked out of the fitting room in this long dress.

She had a voluptuous figure and a slender waist. After wearing this long dress that revealed her side, all the good points on her body were revealed. Her chest was even more obvious. It was guaranteed that it would make men’s imaginations run wild with just one look.

She looked at herself in the full-length mirror and said with great satisfaction, “Cut off the tag! I want this dress!”

Xiao Zhou walked forward with a half-smile and reminded her, “Sister Li, you don’t know this, but fashion dresses are especially expensive. I want this number…”

Xiao Zhou made a seven-figure gesture.

However, to her surprise, Ai Chunrou gritted her teeth after a short moment of hesitation and said, “Cut the tag! I’ll wear it directly!”

Xiao Zhou’s eyes instantly widened.

What was going on with Ai Chunrou? Why did she suddenly become so generous?

However, there was no reason to reject the results that came knocking on his door.

Xiao Zhoudong put on a flattering smile and said, “I’ll go get the scissors now! Sister Li, should I say it or not? This dress seems to be tailor-made for you. It suits you too well! You should wear more dresses of this style!”

However, Ai Chunrou, who usually liked to listen to compliments, waved her hand to interrupt her this time. “Stop talking. I’m rushing. Go get the scissors.”

Xiao Zhou felt even more strange. Something was wrong… Muttering in her heart, she went to get the scissors.

However, just in case, she deliberately guided Ai Chunrou to swipe her card first.

It wasn’t until she swiped her card successfully that Xiao Zhou was sure that Ai Chunrou wasn’t putting on an act. Only then did he dare to really cut off the tag.

“You’re so beautiful! Sis, if I were a man, I would immediately marry you!”

“Alright, you have the sweetest mouth! I’m leaving. Help me keep the clothes I changed out of. I’ll come back later to get them.”

“Alright, I’ll keep it for you! You can come and pick it up after work.”

Xiao Zhou watched Ai Chunrou leave ingratiatingly. Just as she was about to return to the shop, she saw that Ai Chunrou did not return to the company directly. Instead, she walked to the right side of the shop.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Zhou followed her for a few steps, only to see Ai Chunrou enter a star-rated hotel not far away without looking back.

Hotel…?

Wasn’t she entered the room?

Before Xiaozhou could figure out what was going on, a low-key and luxurious luxury car stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

The next second, a tall man entered the hotel.

Due to the angle, Xiao Zhou could not see the man’s face clearly, but just by looking at the license plate, he knew that the other party’s identity was definitely not ordinary.

Not everyone had a Beijing A luxury car.

The things that Xiao Zhou did not understand just now were instantly enlightened.

Ai Chunrou had climbed up a high branch and was about to become a phoenix!

No wonder he was willing to spend so much money to buy a 400 thousand dollars yuan dress!

Although Ai Chunrou was the head of a department in Division the Swanson Group in Insterimond, her annual income was around 200 thousand dollars. For Ai Chunrou, 400 thousand dollars wasn’t enough to spend all her savings, but it was still a huge sum of money.

Spending two years’ salary to buy a dress. If it wasn’t for this situation… Ai Chunrou, that stingy woman, would never have footed the bill so readily.

When Xiao Zhou thought of this, he was glad that he did not prevent Ai Chunrou from trying on the dress because of his fixed impression of her.

In the future, Ai Chunrou might become her super client.

Although Xiao Zhou was envious, a happy smile bloomed on his face. Ai Chunrou was her performance!

Xiao Zhou turned around and returned to the shop. He took out the ironing machine in the shop and carefully ironed the old clothes that Ai Chunrou had changed out of.

This was because she believed that Ai Chunrou might have a completely different identity when she came out of the hotel.

In the hotel lobby.

Ken Swanson saw a familiar voice enter the elevator. Just as he was about to call for help, the elevator door closed. He frowned slightly and dialed an unlisted number. After the call connected, he asked expressionlessly, “Ai Dongrou? Were you the one who just entered the elevator?” The other party fell silent and said with a complicated tone, “Young Master, my name is Ai Chunrou, not Ai Dongrou.” On the other end of the phone, Ai Chunrou gritted her teeth in anger.

They had clearly worked together for more than two years, yet Ken Swanson could still remember her name wrongly!

Could it be that she really didn’t have any weight in his heart?

No! She didn’t believe it!

If she really didn’t have any weight in Ken Swanson’s heart, why didn’t he stop the scandal between her and Ken Swanson in the past? Why was it that Ken Swanson still allowed the scandal to ferment and everyone still treated her as his soon-to-be girlfriend?

This must be because he had replied to Silverlake in the past few months. That was why he had gotten her name wrong.

He definitely had a place in Ken Swanson’s heart.

However, in the next second.

“It doesn’t matter what your name is. I’m already here, waiting for you in the hotel lobby. Just tell me what you want to do.”

His cold tone made Ai Chunrou’s breathing a little painful.

She took a deep breath and suppressed her discomfort. “It’s not convenient to talk about what I want to say in the lobby. Why don’t you come to my room? My room number is 1301. Don’t bring anyone else except yourself. Otherwise… I can’t guarantee that what I sent you won’t be sent to another person.”

Chapter 1000

Ai Chunrou hung up after saying that.

After the call ended, Ken Swanson’s expression was extremely cold.

Aaron Berg, who was standing beside him, could clearly feel a cold aura spreading out from Ken Swanson.

He gulped in fear and asked Ken Swanson nervously, “Sir, what happened? What are we doing here?”

Ai Chonrou’s name sounded familiar, but after thinking about it, he realized that there was no one with that name. Therefore, even though he was afraid that Ken Swanson would get angry, Aaron Berg still dared to ask.

Ken Swanson glanced at Aaron Berg coldly and said, “This has nothing to do with you. Wait for me at the door. I’ll go up and come down.”

…Ah? Are you going up alone? Why don’t I go up with you? If there’s any danger…”

“There’s no need! If there’s really danger, you’ll be a burden!” Aaron Berg smiled awkwardly. “Yes…”

He had almost forgotten that the 18-year-old master had won the highest level of the Halcyon competition, boxing. He had not neglected it all these years and his skills were not inferior to his.

However, usually, when he encountered something, he did not need to do it himself. Therefore, he had forgotten about this matter for the past few years.

However, he suddenly had an idea. If Sir fought with Miss Fox… He wondered who would win? Miss Fox’s skills were also top-notch.

What Aaron Berg did not know was that when the two of them fought, they always lost to Melody Fox without exception.

Of course, the beating here referred to the bed.

While his thoughts were running wild, Aaron Berg realized

that Ken Swanson had already gone upstairs.

He scratched his head in confusion, not understanding who Ken Swanson was looking for.

“Ai Chongrou…” Why did this name sound like a woman?

If Miss Fox knew… pfft! Miss Fox would not know!

She still had to make lunch for Sir. It was still early, so Miss Fox should not have finished cooking yet.

However, in fact, Melody Fox had already wrapped up all the lunch. He even thoughtfully left pasta for Aaron Berg and Spencer.

“You two can share this box. There are forty of them. It’s enough for you.”

Spencer was embarrassed to say that he could eat 40 by himself, but he still accepted it gratefully.

He knew that Miss Fox was the best at making pasta! It had been on the trending searches! Moreover, because the pasta was too delicious, he directly worked with the Swanson Group in the food and beverage industry. In a few days, pasta would be on the shelves of various supermarkets.

Of course, frozen food was definitely not as tasty as it was made directly.

Therefore, eating the pasta yuan that she personally made and cooked was simply a blessing from her previous life!

Spencer’s face was filled with gratitude. “Miss Fox, you’re so good to me…”

“…” Melody Fox did not know how to answer.

She was too embarrassed to say that it was because she had accidentally bought too many ingredients. She did not want to waste them, so she made 40 more.

“Cough!” She coughed lightly and said, “Let’s go back to the hospital first. My right eyelid keeps twitching. I have a bad feeling. Let’s go back and take a look.”

“Yes.” Spencer did not dare to delay. He picked up his lunch and followed Melody Fox out.

Room 1301 was also occupied by Ken Swanson.

He reached out and knocked on the door. Just as he knocked, the door was opened. Clearly, the other party had been waiting for him.

After the door opened, Ai Chunrou, who was wearing a red dress, came into view.

Ken Swanson, finally matched the other party’s name and face.

“Ai Chunrou, it’s you.”

He was the assistant assigned to the Insterimond branch

He wanted to replace this assistant before, but he felt that he would soon leave the Insterimond branch, so he was too lazy to replace the female assistant.

She seemed to have specially put on thick makeup that was different from before. There was a thick perfume on her body that made his head hurt.

Compared to this perfume, he preferred the faint smell of perfume. The suave aroma of perfume he preferred made him feel extremely comfortable.

“It’s me, Young Master. Please come in.”

Ai Chunrou looked around and saw that Ken Swanson did not bring anyone else. She quickly turned to invite Ken Swanson in.

“No need, let’s talk here! It’s not appropriate for me to go in!” Ken Swanson said in a businesslike manner.

A man and a woman alone in a hotel. Even if he didn’t have any relationship with Ai Chunrou, it would be best if they didn’t get together.

He had a family. Unlike before, he could not be bothered with those scandals.

Seeing that Ken Swanson refused to come in, Ai Chunrou could only say the same thing as she had said on the phone.

“Then I can’t guarantee that my words won’t be heard by those who are passing by. Young Master, are you sure you don’t want to come in?”

Ken Swanson thought of the message he had received and clenched his fists.

Ai Chunrou should be glad that he didn’t hit women easily.

“Then don’t close the door! Otherwise, there’s no need for us to continue talking.”

Ken Swanson’s attitude was unyielding. Ai Chunrou was afraid that he would really leave just like that, so she could only compromise and say, “…Sure.”

The two of them entered the hotel room one after another.

This was a couple-themed suite.

As soon as she entered, she could see a large heart placed on the double bed with rose petals.

There was even a bouquet of roses on it.

Ken Swanson frowned slightly. He stood at the entrance and did not continue walking in.

“Tell me! What are you trying to do by posting those photos? How much do you want before you delete them and stop posting them?”

The thought of Melody Fox’s intimate standing posture with Yu Leyou in the photo and Yu Leyou’s undisguised good impression of Melody Fox in the secretly taken video made Ken Swanson’s entire body freeze.

He knew that Melody Fox would not betray him, but that did not mean that someone would misinterpret Melody Fox after the photos and videos were leaked.

It was precisely because he was worried about this that he appeared here with his illness and repeatedly tolerated Ai Chunrou.

Ai Chunrou did not respond to Ken Swanson. Instead, she walked in and poured a glass of water for Ken Swanson.

Ken Swanson did not take it and said, “I’m not drinking. Let’s get down to business. I don’t have that much time to waste!”

Ai Chunrou looked hurt.

“No matter what, I used to work for you. Are you not even willing to drink a glass of water from me?”

Ken Swanson still did not move and said, “It’s best not to touch the water of strangers. Let’s get down to business! How much do you want before you’re willing to let it go!” Ai Chunrou was even more hurt.

She put down the glass of water and said pitifully with red eyes, “You really make me sad! You don’t even trust me!”

“…” Ken Swanson did not say anything. He continued to look at her as if she was a stranger.

When Ai Chunrou saw that he was not answering her, she could only straighten her back and say, “I didn’t send those photos to you for money! I did all of this for you!”

“For me?”

Ken Swanson sneered coldly and said, “If you really want the best for me, you should delete all those photos and videos.”

Chapter 1001

“Delete all of them and delete them from my mind. This is really for my own good! It’s not like now, where you used those things to call me here,” Ken Swanson said coldly.

Ai Chunrou’s expression became even more innocent. “You don’t believe me?”

Ken Swanson did not say anything, but his eyes conveyed a message: Do I look like I believe you?

Ai Chunrou pursed her lips and suddenly revealed a look of heartache.

“Young Master, others don’t understand you or your bitterness, but I do! In the two years I’ve been with you, I admit that I understand you better than others! You look like you don’t want strangers to get close to you, but you’re actually easier to get along with than anyone else. I also happen to know that… you’re not very happy at home.”

“Is that all you have to say?”

“No! What I want to say is that I know that your ridiculous marriage was kidnapped by your family connections! That country woman is not worthy of you at all! It’s fine if she doesn’t know her limits, but she’s still fooling around with other men outside!”

Ken Swanson’s face was as dark as water.

“Ai Chunrou, you really have to be glad that you’re a woman! But I don’t have much tolerance for women!”

Ai Chunrou did not know that Ken Swanson was defending Melody Fox. She only thought that she was right about Ken Swanson. He was embarrassed and angry.

Ai Chunrou hurriedly said, “I don’t mean to look down on you! It’s normal for people of your class to not be able to control their marriage. I really don’t look down on you! On the contrary, I admire you even more. I know that you had to marry Melody Fox because of Margaret Swanson. Your filial piety is rare in the world!”

.?” What nonsense was this woman spouting?

If not for the fact that he was afraid that she would save other photos and video backups, he would have taken her phone and left long ago.

Of course, Ai Chunrou did not know what Ken Swanson was thinking.

She continued, “It’s precisely because I want you to get rid of this tainted marriage that I took those photos and videos for you! With these things, you can show them to Margaret Swanson and officially divorce Melody Fox. I think after looking at these photos, Margaret Swanson will never ask you to continue being her husband in the name.”

Ken Swanson’s eyes turned cold.

“You sent it to Margaret Swanson?”

Ai Chunrou felt as if the air had suddenly turned cold.

She quickly shook her head and said, “No! I don’t have Old Mrs. Swanson’s contact information. Even if I do, I will definitely discuss it with you before sending it. However, if you don’t want to send it to Old Mrs. Swanson personally, I can do it for you!” Ken Swanson ignored Ai Chunrou’s words and asked directly, “Do you have a copy of the photos and videos?” “No, it’s in my phone. Do I need to make a backup?” she asked solicitously.

As she spoke, Ai Chunrou deliberately took two steps forward. She deliberately bent down so that her figure could be seen.

Unexpectedly, Ken Swanson did not even look at her. Instead, he took out a blank check from his suit pocket.

“What are you doing?” Ai Chunrou asked.

Ken Swanson handed the check to Ai Chunrou expressionlessly.

“It’s a blank check. I’ve signed it. You can fill it in as you please. Now, give me your phone.”

Ai Chunrou asked in confusion, “Don’t you understand what

I mean? I don’t want your money! I want… to be your woman!”

Ken Swanson’s eyelids instantly lifted.

He now understood what he had been puzzled about.

No wonder Ai Chunrou had asked him to meet her at the hotel. No wonder this was a couple-themed suite.

His face quickly turned as black as the bottom of a pot. However, Ai Chunrou did not notice his expression at all. After getting straight to the point and expressing her feelings, she stretched out her arms to hug Ken Swanson.

As Ai Chunrou approached, the pungent smell of perfume made his head hurt even more.

Ken Swanson pushed Ai Chunrou away in disgust.

“Do you want to die?”

Ai Chunrou was stunned. She did not expect Ken Swanson to push her away even though she had taken the initiative.

Not only that, but he also looked at her with that disgusting gaze.

Ai Chunrou’s heart immediately broke into two, and tears flowed down her face.

She could not believe it and asked sadly, “Young Master, have you… never had me in your heart? Even if you don’t know, have you never liked me at all in the past? Please tell me the truth.”

“No!”

“I don’t believe it!”

“I don’t believe that you don’t have any feelings for me at all! If that’s the case, why didn’t you turn a deaf ear to the rumors about us?”

Ken Swanson looked at Ai Chunrou indifferently. It was rare for him to look at her directly.

“That’s because these things don’t matter to me at all. It doesn’t matter if there’s a scandal or not. It doesn’t matter who the person in the scandal is. It’s even less important to you.”

-You’re even less important.

This sentence kept repeating in Ai Chunrou’s mind.

She shouted crazily, “You’re lying to me! That won’t happen! I must be different from others to you! If you don’t like me, do you like that ugly monster?”

“Shut up!” Ken Swanson narrowed his eyes coldly and warned, “If I hear you slander my wife again, don’t blame me for disregarding our past colleague’s relationship.”

Ai Chunrou’s eyes suddenly widened. She suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.

“W-what did you say…? Y-your wife? Don’t you… don’t you hate her?”

“If I hated Melody, why would I come here personally to get the photos and videos?”

Ai Chunrou was even more incredulous.

“You’re here for her?”

“Nonsense! Who else would I be here for?”

“Ha! No, that’s impossible. You’re lying to me. You’re bluffing, aren’t you? How can you like her? You’re clearly together because of Margaret Swanson’s orders. It’s clearly because she saved Margaret Swanson’s life!”

“If you heard it so clearly, why didn’t you continue to ask? In the beginning, that was indeed how we got married, but later on, I fell in love with her long ago! So, if you’re smarter, put away your words and obediently hand over the photos and videos!”

“No, it can’t be. It’s impossible. How can it be? Are you crazy? Or am I crazy? I don’t believe it. I don’t believe a word of it! How can you like her? That’s impossible!” Ai Chunrou shook her head crazily.

“That’s enough, Ai Chunrou. My patience with you has reached its limit. Give me your phone and get lost with the check! Don’t ever appear in front of me again!”

“No!” Ai Chunrou wiped her tears and hugged Ken Swanson’s thigh.

“I don’t care what kind of relationship you have with her. I don’t want money or status. I just want you to let me follow you.”

“I can only be your bedmate or your soul mate. I’ll appear immediately if you need me. I won’t disturb your life if you don’t need me, okay?”

“Please don’t abandon me. I can give you anything.”

Chapter 1002

Before Ken Swanson could kick Ai Chunrou away, she actually undid the belt of her red dress.

Ai Chunrou took a liking to this red dress not only because it accentuated her figure, but also because it was convenient to take off her clothes.

As long as this rope was untied, the entire dress would fall apart.

Ken Swanson immediately turned his head.

“Ai Chunrou! Are you crazy?! Don’t you want money? Don’t you even want your dignity and life? Hurry up and put it on! Don’t disgust me!”

Ai Chunrou’s body trembled.

She had always been confident in her figure, but Ken Swanson actually… thought she was disgusting?

Could it be that he really liked that woman?

How could he fall in love with an ugly monster over time?

Ken Swanson’s taste had become so bad! He was simply crazy!

He even said that she was crazy. He was the one who was crazy!

A hint of resentment flashed across Ai Chunrou’s eyes.

She looked at Ken Swanson’s back and narrowed her eyes coldly.

Initially, she did not want to hurt Ken Swanson at all. She only wanted to show her best side in front of him.

However, the current situation forced her to fall out with Ken Swanson!

As long as he wanted her, he had to be responsible for her, even if he really had no feelings for her!

Ai Chunrou took a few steps to the bed, picked up a bottle of transparent liquid, and walked towards Ken Swanson.

“Young Master…”

Ken Swanson did not realize that something was wrong. However, when he heard Ai Chunrou’s voice, his stomach felt even more nauseous.

“Get dressed! My patience is limited! Otherwise, I don’t mind calling my subordinates over! Miss Ai, you really have no dignity to speak of!”

Ai Chunrou’s voice was calm.

“I’m dressed.”

Ken Swanson was silent for a moment before he hesitantly turned his body slightly.

Before he could confirm it through his peripheral vision, there was a sudden sizzling sound, and a strong perfume smell almost directly entered his nose.

And this smell was exactly the same as Ai Chunrou’s.

“Ai Chunrou, what are you doing?!”

He immediately covered his mouth and nose and was about to walk out.

However, he had inhaled too much of the smell. Before he reached the entrance, he had already collapsed.

Ai Chunrou’s lips curled into a sly and smug smile. She walked barefoot to Ken Swanson’s side and squatted down.

“To be able to last until now, I really didn’t expect… this medicine would take effect very quickly. Your willpower is much stronger than I imagined. Fortunately, I bought ten times the dosage. Even a tiger will collapse now!”

“Young Master, you’re finally mine!” Ai Chunrou said affectionately as she reached out to stroke the hair on Ken Swanson’s forehead.

She had fantasized about this action countless times over countless nights. Now, she had finally done it.

She could not hide her excitement. She pulled Ken Swanson’s arm and pulled his body towards the bed.

At the entrance of the district.

Spencer ran to the front and quickly put away the lunch. He respectfully opened the door for Melody Fox.

“Miss Fox, please!”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Spencer realized that Melody Fox did not react at all.

“Huh?” He looked over in confusion and saw Melody Fox staring in the direction on the other side of the road.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Fox, what are you looking at?” Melody Fox came back to her senses and pointed at the entrance of a hotel opposite the traffic. “Look, isn’t that Aaron Berg? I’m not sure if I saw wrongly.”

It was not that her eyesight was bad, but Aaron Berg, should not be here.

Spencer subconsciously looked in the direction Melody Fox pointed at and saw Aaron Berg standing at the entrance of the hotel with a serious expression as if he was waiting for someone inside.

“It’s really Aaron.”

As soon as he said that, he saw Melody Fox walking towards the opposite side.

Spencer quickly closed the car door and quickly followed Melody Fox.

Meanwhile, Fox, Aaron Berg, who was opposite the hotel, vaguely felt that someone was staring at him.

This was a killer’s sixth sense. When he was being watched, he could immediately sense it.

Just as he was not sure if the person staring at him was friend or foe, while he was contemplating who was looking at him and searching for the owner of the gaze, he turned around and saw Melody Fox and Spencer, who had just walked across the road.

He was shocked. For some reason, an unprecedented sense of guilt wrapped around his entire body.

His first reaction was to “quickly hide”!

However, just as Aaron Berg turned around, Melody Fox’s voice sounded.

“Aaron Berg, where are you going?”

The cold voice made Aaron Berg feel that something was wrong.

His entire body stiffened as he turned around mechanically. Coincidentally, Melody Fox stopped less than three steps away from him. Their eyes met, and Aaron Berg lowered his head reflexively.

“Miss Fox.”

Melody Fox looked at Aaron Berg suspiciously and said, ” Why are you here? Don’t tell me Ken Swanson is here too.” “N-nothing. I’m the only one here.”

Melody Fox narrowed her eyes slightly and looked into the hotel. He did not see Ken Swanson.

She frowned and said in an even colder voice, “Aaron Berg, you can’t lie to me. Tell me the truth. Where is Ken Swanson, is he at the hotel now and why are you here?”

Aaron Berg gritted his teeth hard.

He knew very well that he could not hide it from Melody Fox, but he could not betray his master.

At that moment, he fell into a huge dilemma.

Melody Fox sighed. She knew that it was useless to use force. He could only soften her tone and say, “I know you’re loyal, but you have to think about it. He has just fallen ill. His body can’t withstand any torture now. If you continue to hide it from me, who knows what will happen to him. If that happened, it’s useless even if you regret it.”

At the end, Melody Fox added.

“I’m not trying to scare you. You know how he is now.”

These words were like the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Aaron Berg no longer dared to lie.

“I’m sorry, Miss Fox! It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have hidden it from you…”

“Alright, stop talking about that. Tell me what’s going on.”

“Actually… I’m not very sure. It’s just that after Sir received a message, he directly ordered me to drive him here. When he arrived, he seemed to want to meet someone called… Ai Chongrou. He didn’t allow me to follow him and asked me to wait downstairs.”

“Ai Chongrou?” Melody Fox’s nerves tensed up.

“Is it a woman?”

“I think so.”

“Heh, her name isn’t Ai Chongrou. It’s Ai Chunrou! Ken Swanson is in danger. Take me to him immediately!” “Ah? Yes!”

Aaron Berg’s expression changed. He immediately ran to the front desk to ask for Ai Chunrou’s room number.

“I’m sorry, sir, but the room number is a guest’s privacy. We can’t tell you.”

Aaron Berg didn’t say anything else and could only take out his business card.

“I’m Mr. Ken’s bodyguard from the Swanson Group. He’s in that room now. We suspect that he’s in danger. If you still refuse to tell us, can you bear the responsibility if something happens to Young Master?!”

Under the threat, the receptionist was so frightened that she quickly told him her room number.

The group immediately ran towards the elevator.

Chapter 1003

In Room 1301.

Ai Chunrou spent a lot of effort to finally move Ken Swanson onto the large bed covered in rose petals.

He was a tall man who was a little taller. It was really difficult to move him!

However, before she could do anything, there was a series of knocks on the door.

Who was it?! Why did he have to knock on the door like this?!

Ai Chunrou felt a wave of frustration in her heart. Who on earth wanted to disturb her?

She quickly thought that Ken Swanson’s bodyguards might have come up.

At the thought of this, she trembled in fear. Then, her mind raced.

A moment later, Ai Chunrou had an idea. She unbuttoned Ken Swanson’s white shirt and exposed his upper body.

After doing that, she put on her red dress loosely and walked to the door. She opened the door a crack so that the person could immediately see that Ken Swanson was naked.

However, the moment the door opened, Ai Chunrou saw a familiar face.

Her eyes instantly widened.

“Melody Fox? How did you…”

Before she could finish her question, Melody Fox pushed Ai Chunrou away and walked inside.

When she saw Ken Swanson’s clothes, her face instantly darkened.

Ai Chunrou was not afraid of Melody Fox.

It would be even better if she appeared! Someone could testify!

Ai Chunrou steadied herself and walked over to Melody Fox.

“Young Master drank too much. He wanted my body in the chaos just now… He’s sleeping soundly now. Please don’t hit him… Ah!!!”

A slap landed heavily on Ai Chunrou’s face, causing her to cry out in pain.

“You hit me?! Bitch! I’ll beat you to death!”

Ai Chunrou raised her hand and was about to retaliate when she was kicked to the ground by Aaron Berg.

Melody Fox was too lazy to care about Ai Chunrou. All she cared about was Ken Swanson’s safety.

Even if Ken Swanson was not wearing his clothes, she believed that he would never betray her!

She checked Ken Swanson’s breathing. Seeing that there was no problem with his breathing, she felt a little relieved and went to take his pulse.

“Ah!!!-“

Ai Chunrou screamed as she was kicked to the ground. Before she could get up, Aaron Berg had already stepped on Ai Chunrou’s thigh. The pain made her scream again, and her face instantly turned extremely pale.

However, Aaron Berg stepped on Ai Chunrou’s foot and exerted more force. The sound of bones cracking instantly sounded.

“Ahhhh!!!”

Ai Chunrou screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Aaron Berg pretended not to hear it. He wished he could stomp Ai Chunrou to death!

He was an assassin, not a gentleman. When it came to beating people up, it did not matter if they were men or women. It only depended on whether the other party should be beaten up!

However, Melody Fox did not give the order, so he could not deal with Ai Chunrou just like that.

Ai Chunrou was in so much pain that she almost suffocated, but even so, she still defended herself loudly.

“Let go of me! You can’t hit me! I’m already the Eldest Young Master’s woman. He said that I’m the woman he loves the most now. If you hit me again, Eldest Young Master will definitely not let you off when he wakes up! If you’re Eldest Young Master’s woman, you shouldn’t stand on that ugly monster’s side. Eldest Young Master and her are a married couple in name only. They’ll get a divorce soon!”

Aaron Berg looked at Ai Chunrou as if she was an idiot.

“I think you’re really courting death-“

Aaron Berg could not take it anymore and was about to kill her when he heard Melody Fox order, “Ignore her for now! Open the window! Something is wrong in the house!”

When Aaron Berg heard this, he knew that Ai Chunrou’s leg was already crippled and there was no way she could escape. He quickly opened all the windows in the room with Spencer.

Actually, when they had just entered, they also felt that the fragrance in the room was a little strange and gave him a headache.

However, when he saw that the woman on the ground wanted to call Miss Fox, he couldn’t care less.

When the windows were opened, the pungent fragrance finally faded.

“You two, eat this!”

Melody Fox gave each of them a pill and swallowed one himself. Then, he held the back of Ken Swanson’s head and fed him one as well.

Aaron Berg swallowed the pill and asked, “Miss Fox, what’s going on?”

As Melody Fox helped Ken Swanson put on his clothes, he said coldly, “I’m giving you antidotes. Most non-lethal poisons can be removed. As for this poison… you should have smelled it too.”

His guess was confirmed. There was indeed something wrong with the perfume!

Aaron Berg immediately understood something.

“Sir didn’t drink too much and sleep too soundly. He was poisoned!”

“Of course. Otherwise, do you think Ken Swanson would take a fancy to such trash?”

Ken Swanson now had her.

And he was a very responsible person. He would never betray her for another woman.

Not to mention that this woman was Ai Chunrou.

Although Ai Chunrou was also a beauty, who was Ken Swanson?

He had seen too many beautiful women. He wouldn’t have any designs on cheap goods like Ai Chunrou.

These words made Ai Chunrou’s expression change drastically.

She ignored the pain in her body and shouted, “Nonsense! I didn’t poison him! And what right do you have to say that he doesn’t like me? Also, what kind of person am I? Even if I’m not as good as those socialites, I’m still more than enough to compare to you!”

“Young Master has been looking at your ugly face for a long time. Isn’t it normal for him to like me? Moreover, Young Master liked me a lot in the past! It was only because of Margaret Swanson that he had no choice but to marry you!”

“Let me tell you, you should leave now! Otherwise, when Eldest Young Master wakes up, you won’t have a good time!” Ai Chunrou did not believe that even though Ken Swanson did not like her, would he really like this ugly woman?

Even if he liked it, how could Ken Swanson not be angry after seeing the photos and videos he sent him?

She was in a very sorry state now, but Melody Fox would only be worse off than her later!

Ai Chunrou didn’t even feel as much pain when she thought about what might happen to Melody Fox.

“Huh!”

Faced with Ai Chunrou’s provocation and ridicule, Melody sneered. He was too lazy to waste his breath on Ai Chunrou.

To say another word to Ai Chunrou was to disgust herself.

However, just because Melody Fox could not be bothered with Ai Chunrou did not mean that Spencer and Aaron Berg would not care.

Spencer revealed his vicious side for the first time.

With a twist of his palm, the dagger in his hand instantly flew towards Ai Chunrou.

Instinctively, Ai Chunrou’s other thigh was pierced by a dagger, and blood instantly gushed out.

“Ahhhh!!! My leg!!”

Ai Chunrou almost fainted from the pain. Her eyes kept rolling back in her head.

Spencer said coldly, “How dare you speak to Miss Fox like that? Even if you die 10,000 times, it won’t be enough! Let me tell you, Sir only likes one woman, and that is Miss Fox! As for you, you can’t even compare to Miss Fox’s finger!”

Ai Chunrou couldn’t hear anything at all. She screamed crazily.

At this moment, Melody Fox noticed that Ken Swanson had moved.

She was overjoyed and quickly had Aaron Berg cover Ai Chunrou’s mouth. Then, she shook Ken Swanson’s arm.

“Ken Swanson? Are you awake? Can you hear me?”

Chapter 1004

Aaron Berg quickly found a towel and covered Ai Chunrou’s mouth tightly.

The room immediately fell silent.

As for the outside, Aaron Berg had already arrived. Death Warrior, who was guarding the surroundings, surrounded the hotel. No one could enter.

Therefore, no matter how loudly Ai Chunrou shouted, no one would come to help her.

After doing this, Aaron Berg glared at Spencer angrily.

“I know you’re loyal to your master, but there’s no need to waste your breath on such a person!”

Although he was blaming him, Aaron Berg agreed with Spencer’s actions.

A master was a master. No one else could say anything.

However, without their master’s instructions, they could not kill him easily.

With Ai Chunrou’s blood flow, even if she didn’t die from the pain, she would quickly die from excessive blood loss.

“Ken Swanson? Ken Swanson?”

Melody Fox continued to call Ken Swanson’s name.

Of course, she did not stop massaging Ken Swanson’s hand.

As Melody Fox called out, Ken Swanson’s eyes finally opened slowly.

Perhaps because he was not used to the light, he instantly felt an obvious disgust and resistance towards the person who appeared in front of him.

Just as he was about to attack the person in front of him, he finally saw that the person was not Ai Chunrou but Melody Fox.

He instantly let down his guard and asked in confusion,” Melody? Why are you here?”

“What do you think?” Melody Fox glared at Ken Swanson and said, “If I hadn’t come, you would have already been raped by someone. Let’s see what you can do!” “Wu wu wu wu-“

Ai Chunrou tried her best to speak through the towel.

Melody Fox understood what she wanted to say and gave her a look that said, “You’re an idiot.”

“As a doctor, how could I not know if you did it or not? Save your energy, Ai Chunrou. You can still relax a little while I’m still not able to take care of you.”

With that, Melody Fox asked Ken Swanson, “Can you sit up? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

Ken Swanson tried to sit up. Although he successfully sat up, he felt dizzy and almost fell back down.

“Lie back down first. I’ll give you acupuncture!”

Seeing this, Melody Fox immediately pressed Ken Swanson back onto the bed. He quickly took out the acupuncture bag he carried with him and performed acupuncture on the acupuncture points on Ken Swanson’s body.

As the silver needle was inserted, Ken Swanson quickly felt the dizziness ease a lot.

He cleared his throat and said, “I passed out after she sprayed me with something. There was nothing between us.”

“How could I not know? You can also take my pulse. You have to be careful in the future. Don’t even think about cheating! Do you understand?”

Ken Swanson nodded obediently and said seriously, “You’re the only woman in my life. I won’t let you down!”

“Got it. Don’t talk so much yet. Wait a few more minutes

before you pull out the needle.”

Ken Swanson grunted and reached out to hold Melody Fox’s hand tightly.

God knew how afraid he was that she would misunderstand when he saw that it was Melody Fox.

Fortunately, his Melody was so powerful and trusted him so much.

Ken Swanson also realized that the problem was not the glass of water that Ai Chunrou handed him, but the pungent perfume on Ai Chunrou’s body.

Oh no, that wasn’t perfume at all.

Melody Fox seemed to understand Ken Swanson’s gaze and explained, “What made you faint was a spice developed by malicious doctors a long time ago that can knock people out. It’s called the cartilage powder. The acupuncture I’m giving you now is to force the cartilage powder out of your body.”

As they spoke, the hotel manager arrived.

Melody Fox removed the silver needle and asked, “Do you still feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Ken Swanson shook his head. “I’m fine.”

“Alright.” Melody Fox put away the silver needles and stood up. “Since there’s nothing else, let’s go back and calculate with you how you ran out without telling me.”

Ken Swanson nodded dotingly.

“Yes, I have to calculate it clearly. It’s my fault. I admit it. As long as you’re not angry with me, you can hit me or scold me.”

Ai Chunrou’s eyes almost popped out.

Was this still the Ken Swanson she knew?

He and Melody Fox looked so incompatible, but the feeling of loving each other was overflowing.

Human eyes did not lie. The way Ken Swanson looked at Melody Fox seemed to be so gentle that water could be squeezed out of it.

Moreover, no matter how filial Ken Swanson was to Margaret Swanson, he would never act like this with Melody Fox.

His pride was engraved in his bones.

Therefore, the only explanation was that he really loved Melody Fox!

This realization caused Ai Chunrou’s world to completely collapse.

“Wu wu wu wu wu!” Ai Chunrou desperately wanted to scream to vent her broken heart.

Her voice finally attracted Ken Swanson’s attention.

Ken Swanson raised his eyes and glanced over. Then, he quickly looked away and explained to Melody Fox, “She took photos and videos of you and Yu Leyou. The angle is very good, and it’s very easy for people to misunderstand. I was afraid that she would spread these things outside and affect your reputation, so I could only come personally to resolve this matter. But I didn’t expect…”

Ken Swanson rubbed his nose awkwardly.

“I kind of screwed up in the gutter.”

Melody Fox shrugged. “Haven’t you heard of the phrase ‘the most vicious woman’s heart’? Even if it’s a weak woman who doesn’t even have the strength to truss a chicken, you can’t underestimate her. Of course, not every woman is like this. For someone like Ai Chunrou, you have to be extremely cautious.”

“Got it. It’s all my fault.” Ken Swanson admitted his mistake honestly. Then, he instructed Aaron Berg, “Find her phone and destroy it. Then, check if she has any backups.”

“Yes!”

Aaron Berg responded. Then, he pointed at Ai Chunrou, who was lying in a pool of blood, and asked, “Then this woman…?”

Ken Swanson looked at Melody Fox. “Whatever you say.” Melody Fox grunted and said, “Get rid of her!”

“Shall we kill her?” Aaron Berg asked.

In the past, he would not say the word ‘murder’ so casually. However, after the previous demolition incident, he subconsciously asked.

Melody Fox frowned slightly and said coldly, “Killing her like this is too easy on her! Call the police! Make a big deal out of it, but don’t reveal Ken Swanson’s identity. Let her stay in prison for the rest of her life.”

Ai Chunrou, an extremely vain woman, cared about these things the most.

Her future, reputation, and dignity were all gone. To Ai Chunrou, living was far more painful than dying.

She threw out a porcelain bottle and said, “This medicine is to stop the bleeding. Don’t let her die like this.”

“Yes!”

Aaron Berg picked up the porcelain bottle and took out a green pill. He took the towel from Ai Chunrou’s mouth and stuffed it in.

“No, no…” Ai Chunrou knew what Melody Fox was thinking.

He saved her life and then caused her to die socially.

This was indeed more painful than killing her.

Chapter 1005

She did not want to live in despair for the rest of her life!

Ai Chunrou refused to take the medicine and tried hard to look away.

However, Aaron Berg would not give her the chance. He grabbed her face with one hand and lifted her chin

forcefully, forcing Ai Chunrou to swallow the medicine.

Ai Chunrou wanted to spit out the medicine, but she couldn’t.

Moreover, she was devastated to find that the bleeding in her leg was clearly decreasing. This medicine was even more effective than the hospital’s hemostatic needles. Ai Chunrou shouted crazily, “No, no, I don’t want to live anymore! Don’t call the police. Kill me. Just kill me!” However, Melody Fox did not even look at her and left. That back view was indescribably distant and cold. It made Ai Chunrou completely understand that the woman she looked down on was the woman she should not provoke and could not afford to provoke at all.

But it was too late to know that now.

Not long after Melody Fox and Ken Swanson left, the sound of a police car pierced through the clouds and arrived at the hotel.

The hotel was quickly surrounded by security tapes, causing many people to stop.

As the hotel was directly opposite the Insterimond branch of the historical group, there was no lack of employees from the Insterimond branch in the crowd.

Coincidentally, Shi Kai was waiting for Assistant Hou to drive the car out, so he walked forward to watch the commotion.

“What’s going on? What happened? Have you heard?” Shi Kai called an employee over to ask in confusion.

When the employee saw Shi Kai, he was shocked. It was not until he was sure that Shi Kai was not blaming him that he said, “I heard that a woman cheated a rich man to come over in order to climb up the social ladder and wanted to force herself on him! Don’t you think this world is funny? Women can also rape men! I just don’t know which woman did such a shameless thing to climb up the social ladder.” When Shi Kai heard this, his interest was piqued.

“A woman rapes a man? Interesting! If word gets out, this woman won’t be able to get married in this lifetime, right?” “Not only can’t I get married, but I’ll never be able to raise my head in this lifetime!”

Shi Kai suddenly had a question.

“But in this aspect, doesn’t the law not protect us men? A strong woman doesn’t have this crime under the law. Why are there so many police cars?”

“I heard that the man refused to cooperate, so this woman used medicine! And that medicine was from malicious doctors!”

When he heard the words “malicious doctors”, Shi Kai broke out in cold sweat.

This word was almost taboo in Halcyon. She actually dared to use malicious doctors’s medicine. It would be unreasonable not to sentence her to life imprisonment.

At the same time, the shop assistant, Xiao Zhou, was also watching.

She happened to hear the conversation between Shi Kai and his employees and couldn’t help but think of Ai Chunrou.

Didn’t Ai Chunrou also enter this hotel? And there was indeed a rich man who entered almost at the same time.

Could it be…

Xiao Zhou quickly shook off this guess.

It shouldn’t be Ai Chunrou.

At that moment, there was a commotion in the hotel lobby. A woman with a black hood over her head was brought out.

Even if they were criminals, the police had to protect their privacy, so the woman’s face was covered tightly.

However, Xiao Zhou recognized the woman’s fiery red dress at a glance.

There was only one piece of clothing that cost Insterimond yuan. It was the one that Ai Chunrou had bought!

It was really Ai Chunrou!

“Ha!”

Xiao Zhou was shocked, amused, and speechless. The expression on her face kept changing.

She thought that Ai Chunrou was going to become a phoenix, but she didn’t expect that she wanted to use the female version of “women who cooked rice without fire”. She was really crazy about climbing up the social ladder!

Xiao Zhou had never been so speechless in her life! Unfortunately, in order to please Ai Chunrou, she carefully washed and ironed the clothes Ai Chunrou had changed out of. She wished she could worship them.

Now, she regretted it so much that her intestines were turning green!

“Ai Chunrou! How dare you betray me and seduce another man! I’m going to kill you!”

A man suddenly ran out from the crowd. Unexpectedly, he rushed in front of Ai Chunrou and lifted the black hood on her head.

Ai Chunrou clearly did not expect that someone would lift the cover on her head.

Her hands were handcuffed and could not cover her face at all. Her entire face was exposed to all the onlookers.

“Oh my god…”

Shi Kai’s eyes widened.

“It’s actually you, Ai Chunrou! You actually did such a thing after being fired! Tsk tsk, you really gave me a ‘surprise’!”

“No, no…” When Ai Chunrou saw that there were so many former colleagues in the crowd, she broke down even more.

If she had a knife in her hand now, she would kill him immediately!

The man who lifted her mask suddenly raised his hand and slapped Ai Chunrou hard.

“Bitch! How dare you cheat on me!”

With a crisp sound, the police seemed to have only reacted after a few seconds and quickly pulled the man back.

“Sir, calm down. Is this your girlfriend?”

“That’s right! She cheated me of all my money, and now she’s seducing another man! I really want to kill her! Ai Chunrou, are you shameless? Were you a chicken in your previous life?!”

Ai Chunrou widened her eyes and shouted, “He’s lying! I don’t know him at all! I’ve never even seen him!”

However, no one believed what Ai Chunrou said.

The man quickly left quietly, but Ai Chunrou’s matter was quickly recorded and posted online.

The internet was filled with news about Ai Chunrou.

Ai Chunrou was completely dead.

And what awaited her was a severe punishment from the law.

The “malicious doctors” were the red line of Law Halcyon. If she touched this red line, she could be spared from death, but she could not escape punishment!

As for Ai Chunrou, she would spend the rest of her life in a state where she could neither live nor die.

“Beep beep beep-“

Assistant Hou greeted Shi Kai in the car.

“President Shi, what are you looking at? It’s time for us to go to the Origin Crystal Branch.”

Only then did Shi Kai recover from his shock.

Ai Chunrou’s matter was simply too amazing.

Shi Kai, who rarely gossiped, told Assistant Hou about this when he got into the car.

Assistant Hou was a gossipy person. In less than two minutes, the entire company knew about this.

When Liu Gaoyi heard the news, the skin on his face twitched uncontrollably.

“Are you sure? Is it really Ai Chunrou…?”

“It’s absolutely true!” The assistant handed over his phone and said, “Look, the video has been posted online. It’s Ai Chunrou. She’s the real Ai Chunrou!”

“Simply, this woman is simply a lunatic! Really… Really… God, I don’t even know how to describe it.”

Liu Gaoyi rubbed his hands and excitedly called his assistant out while he called Ulric Swanson.

“Second Young Master, something bad has happened. That lunatic Ai Chunrou has caused us to be suppressed by Shi Kai again!”
