Chapter 1128
Li Ming hesitated momentarily and said, “But if you can cure Ge Pingchuan’s illness and rope in the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce, the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce will greatly help us. The help they can provide us is no less than Insterimondthe Murphy family.” Liu Rong retreated from Li Ming’s arms.
“If you think so, don’t tell me that Ramon Swanson’s two sons don’t think so? If we stand up for Fox, we will definitely attract their attention. Don’t forget, on the surface, the person you support is Ulric Swanson. We can’t let Ulric Swanson know that our true goal is to snatch the Swanson Group, not help him sit on the Swanson Group’s throne.”
“Alright! I’ll listen to everything you say. I’ll do whatever you say.”
Kua Rangliu nodded and said, “It’s getting late. Let’s go back to sleep. We must meet Liu Guangrui tomorrow and see what he says.”
“Yes, his wife has just been discharged from the hospital. No one will suspect anything if we visit her now.”
“Go to sleep.”
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Melody Fox slept very well that night. He slept until noon.
She was woken up by a strong burnt smell.
She opened her eyes and saw thick smoke seeping through the crack in the door.
Melody Fox was shocked. He quickly got up from the bed and ran out.
In the living room, Spencer and Aaron Berg were there, but Ken Swanson was nowhere to be seen.
She didn’t have time to think too much and quickly asked, ” Is there a fire?”
Spencer and Aaron Berg looked at each other awkwardly. They did not know how to explain.
Melody Fox saw that there was no reaction from them and knew that it was not a fire.
Just as he was about to ask in detail, he saw Ken Swanson walk out of the kitchen.
He was no longer in his usual suit. He was wearing loose and comfortable light gray home clothes. His nose was black and his hair was disheveled.
If Melody Fox hadn’t seen him come out of the kitchen, he would have thought that he had just returned from some battlefield.
Seeing Melody Fox, Ken Swanson touched his nose awkwardly, but wiped the pot ashes on his nose all over his face, making him look even more hilarious.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Melody Fox did not know whether to laugh or cry as he walked forward.
Ken Swanson scratched his head. “I wanted to cook for you, but I failed.”
He used to study abroad at Fox. In fact, he often cooked.
However, when she ate alone, she only made Janet Murphy yuan for each dish and soup. In fact, she had never cooked seriously.
However, he did not expect it to fail so badly.
Melody Fox took out a handkerchief and wiped Ken
Swanson’s face. Soon, the white handkerchief turned black.
Melody Fox said helplessly, “Forget it. I can’t wipe it clean. Go wash your face. I’ll do the rest.”
“Why don’t we… find a nanny?”
“Come on, we’ll be back soon. It’s no trouble to cook a meal. Go and wash your face. You don’t know, but your face is like a big tabby cat’s face now.”
Ken Swanson was pushed into the bathroom by Melody
Fox. When he saw that his face was covered in pot ashes, he obediently began to wash his face.
“Why don’t you take a shower? You reek of grease and smoke. If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’d blown up the kitchen.”
She really thought that there was a fire at home just now.
“Sure.”
Ken Swanson nodded.
As a clean freak, the smell on his body was indeed a little unbearable.
After Ken Swanson went to take a shower, Melody Fox came to the kitchen.
He saw a fish that had almost turned into charcoal lying in the pot. He didn’t know what was cooking in the other pot, but its surface was covered in a strange green color. It was completely stewed in chaos.
Melody Fox shook his head. After calling Aaron Berg and Spencer in to help clean up the mess, he began to cook.
Spencer asked at the kitchen door, “Miss Fox, do you want to deliver food to Mr. Orrick today?”
Melody Fox thought for a moment and said, “He didn’t send me a message. I don’t think he needs it.”
“Yes, I understand,” Spencer said, but he did not leave. Instead, he said, “Miss Fox, there’s something I forgot to tell you yesterday.”
“Tell me.”
He took out a wooden box, opened the lid, and brought it to Melody Fox.
Inside was a very exquisite dagger with several expensive jewels embedded in the handle.
Melody Fox thought for a moment and guessed the origin of this dagger.
“Mr. Ou gave it to you?”
“Well…” Spencer explained in fear, “I wanted to give it to you
when I came out of the hospital, but when I arrived at the clinic, I left it in the car. Later on, I forgot…”
Melody Fox picked up the dagger and took a look. He quickly recognized it as the famous Rakshasa’s Blade.
The last time the Rakshasa’s Blade was auctioned, if he remembered correctly, it was sold for an astronomical price of 40 million dollars.
Melody Fox blew a strand of his hair on the dagger and it broke into two.
Spencer could not help but widen her eyes.
“So sharp…”
“It’s not just sharp. Any gem on him is worth a lot.”
Spencer was even more terrified.
“Then, then I’ll send it to Mr. Orrick now?”
“There’s no hurry. Tell me first. What did he tell you?”
“He didn’t say anything. He just said it was a gift for me. It’s been hard on me to make the trip.”
Melody Fox frowned. He felt that something was amiss.
If this gift was for her, it could be interpreted as Mr. Ou being very grateful to her for saving his life.
However, Spencer was not a life-saving grace to Orek.
It was just a meal, but he actually gave out such an expensive dagger. It really did not make sense.
As they were talking, Ken Swanson came out from the shower.
There was still a drop of water hanging from the tip of his hair. He was wearing a bathrobe and looked like a handsome man coming out of the shower.
However, Melody Fox was not in the mood to appreciate it now. He told him about the dagger.
When Ken Swanson heard this, he slowly frowned.
“He’s indeed a little too generous.”
Ken Swanson met Melody Fox’s gaze and said, “However, I still believe in Mr. Orrick’s character. He probably doesn’t have any ulterior motives or wants to use you. Perhaps he just… wants to thank you? So he loves you?”
“I don’t know either…”
“How about this?” Ken Swanson said, “I’ll go with you to see Mr. Ou tomorrow. I haven’t visited him on this trip to Insterimond. On the one hand, it’s to visit him. On the other hand, I also want to test what he’s thinking.”
“Alright.” Melody Fox nodded.
For lunch, Melody Fox used the remaining fish to make braised fish. After the other vegetables were matched, Janet Murphy stir-fried with pork.
When the last serving of seaweed soup was served, Fox, Ken Swanson was already hungry.
Melody Fox could not help but laugh.
“Is it that delicious? These are all home-cooked dishes from Janet Murphy.”
“Delicious.” Ken Swanson paused for a moment and said, It’s really delicious. It’s not because you’re my wife that you think it’s delicious.”
Melody Fox’s culinary skills were more than enough to open a restaurant.
Even if it was a home-cooked meal of Janet Murphy yuan, it could still make a very delicious taste.
The taste was indescribable, but it was better than the restaurants outside.
