Chapter 1099
Orek was angry and guilty.
Although Russell Fox was not a good person, he was definitely not a good father.
He had been absent from his daughter’s life for more than 20 years and did not know of her existence before this.
If he had investigated earlier and found Melody earlier, she would not have suffered so much for no reason.
What family honor? What is Oujing Group? Compared to his daughter, they were all useless.
In the future, he would do his best to make it up to her. He would love her, dote on her, and pamper her. He would make her the happiest girl in the world and pamper her to the skies!
Otherwise, he would not be worthy of being her father. As for those who had bullied her and made her suffer, he would repay them a thousand times over!
Melody Fox quickly finished writing the prescription for conditioning. He began to think about what to write to nourish his body.
However, when she turned her head inadvertently and saw the fire in Orrick’s eyes, she was stunned. She subconsciously stopped writing and asked, “Mr. Ou, what’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?”
Why did he look like he wanted to eat someone?
It was only then that Orek came back to his senses. He realized that he had not controlled his emotions just now. The expression he revealed frightened Melody Fox.
His face quickly softened, and he returned to his amiable self.
“No, no, it has nothing to do with you. You did a great job.”
Melody Fox asked tentatively, “Mr. Ou, did you think of the person who harmed you?”
Orek wanted to say that he did not cause his talents to lose control of their expressions. Instead, he thought of the people who harmed Melody Fox and Jiang Wilona.
However, he could not say this yet. If he said it, Melody Fox would definitely be shocked.
At the very least, he had to get Melody Fox closer to him, not the current doctor-patient relationship Fox, before he could slowly reveal it.
So Orek nodded without hesitation. “Yes. I think of the people who harmed me.”
“The doctor who operated on you is already in your hands, right?”
“Yes… but this guy is very stubborn. He didn’t reveal any effective information at all. Now that he’s half-dead, he still refuses to admit that there’s nothing wrong with my heart. They set me up to operate on me.”
“Yes.” Zuo Ye also said, “This guy is indeed hard. I’ve already broken two of his fingers, but he still refuses to speak. He insists that he was wronged and even said…”
“What else?” Melody Fox asked.
Zuo Ye glanced at Orrick. Seeing that Orrick had no intention of forbidding him from interrupting, he mustered his courage and said, “He even said that there’s nothing wrong with him. The ones with problems are the doctors who treated Sir.”
“Those doctors” naturally included Melody Fox.
Melody Fox looked sideways and asked Orek.
“So does Mr. Ou believe him or me?”
“You don’t have to ask. Of course, I believe you.”
If he didn’t believe his daughter, why would he believe an outsider?
In other words, even if Melody Fox was not his daughter, he would still believe Melody Fox.
His wife’s clansmen had long coveted his assets and power. They wanted to join forces and naturally torture him to death without anyone noticing.
However, it was a pity that the heavens treated him well. Not only did he survive, but he also found his daughter.
Thinking about it this way, he was a little grateful to them. Melody could naturally feel Orek’s trust in her.
She heaved a sigh of relief.
It was good that Eric believed her. Otherwise, it would be a little troublesome to explain.
Orek continued, “Those guys are ambitious. I will never let them have their way! I won’t let anyone who participated in this matter off!”
Melody Fox pointed out the core of the problem.
“The most important thing now is to know who
participated in this power struggle and what plans and arrangements they have next.”
Zuo Ye said with a headache, “We’re still in Halcyon now. We have to go back to Europe and investigate in detail. But Yuliv is too loyal. It’s very difficult for us to pry open his mouth…”
Melody Fox smiled.
“He’s not loyal. He knows that once he says it, both sides will want his life. In order to save his life, he chose to fight to the death.”
Zuo Ye asked, “Then according to Miss Fox…”
“Since the physical punishment is useless against him, let’s attack his heart.”
“You mean…?”
Melody FoxMabel smiled and revealed his plan.
Zuo Ye and Orick’s eyes lit up.
“This is a good idea! Once he knows that his death is imminent, he will have to put up a desperate struggle no matter what.”
“That’s right.”
“I’ll do it now!”
“Wait a moment. When I’ve finished writing the food supplements, you can get someone to prepare dinner.”
It was already four in the afternoon. It was time to prepare dinner.
Zuo Ye had just nodded when he heard Orek say, “Don’t prepare dinner for today. Eliza will come over.”
“Eliza is … ?”
“She’s my current wife,” Orek said as if he was afraid that Melody Fox would misunderstand. He immediately added, ” I don’t have any marital feelings for her, nor have I done anything intimate with her. Yuliv is one of her people. However, at the moment, I need to calm her down before her mother’s side can let down their guard.”
Melody Fox nodded and did not ask further.
Although she was very curious why Orek could still be married to Eliza for so many years if he didn’t like her.
However, Orek’s family matters had nothing to do with her, and she was in no position to ask about Orek’s family matters.
However, Melody Fox did not ask, but Orek did.
“Back then, I once had a woman I loved very much. However, my family could not accept her and even threatened my marriage with Eliza with her life. For her safety, I had no choice but to cut off contact with her and marry Eliza. However, all these years, I have never touched Eliza and have never forgotten the person I once loved.”
“Mr. Ou is really infatuated. I thought that with your status, it would be difficult for you to like a woman for so many years.”
“Love has nothing to do with status.”
Melody Fox lowered his eyes. “That’s true.”
If Ken Swanson cared about these things, he would not have chosen her.
Orek sighed and said, “But now I know that after I left, she didn’t have a good life either. In the end, I was too young and thought that leaving was the best for her. I regret it very much, but it’s useless to regret it. As Fox, I’m too weak and cowardly. If I insisted on marrying her and dared to risk my life, things wouldn’t have turned out like this. I’ve let her down.”
“Mr. Ou, why don’t you look for her? It might not be too late to make up for it now.”
Orek opened his mouth. There were a million things he wanted to say, but all he could manage was, “She’s passed away.”
“…I’m sorry. I was too abrupt.”
“It’s alright.” Orek forced a smile and looked at Melody Fox with a gentle gaze.
