Chapter 1129
Perhaps this was the case for people with superb culinary skills. They could make the ingredients with the highest Janet Murphy yuan taste perfect.
Melody Fox was a little embarrassed by the praise.
“I learned how to cook from someone. Just eat your food. Don’t praise me.”
Ken Swanson could not help but ask, “Who did you learn it from?”
“My culinary master is called Yunran. Have you heard of her?” Ken Swanson was stunned for a moment before asking, “Is it that Halcyon ancient imperial cuisine inheritor, Yunran?” “Yes, it is.”
“No wonder… With her guidance on your culinary skills, it would be strange if your cooking isn’t good.”
“Well…”
Thinking of Yunran, she couldn’t help but lower her head. Ken Swanson sensed that something was wrong with her mood and asked, “Is she no longer alive?”
“Yes.” Melody Fox smiled bitterly and said, “Many of my masters are no longer alive. The reason why I can get to know them is mostly because I’m not in good health and came to see my master for treatment. To nurture my ability to be independent, my master doesn’t accept consultation fees from these people. The only condition for them to treat me is to teach me their skills.’
“No wonder… Don’t be too sad. Everyone has to die. From the moment they were born, their lives have already entered the reverse Fox. Neither you nor I can change it.”
“Yes, but Master Yunran’s illness was already cured.”
“How could that be…? I remember that she’s not that old. Calculating Fox rooms, she’s only in her fifties today.”
Melody Fox sighed and talked about what happened back then.
When Fox had malicious doctors, someone accidentally found the place where Quentin Parker lived.
After fighting for hours, that person’s subordinate found the young Melody Fox back then and used her to threaten Quentin Parker to give up resisting obediently.
At the critical moment, Yun Ran appeared with a kitchen knife and ambushed the man’s subordinate from behind.
However, Yunran’s master had been shot herself.
The bullet wound hit her head. Under such circumstances, her master could not treat her. He could only end her life in advance and free her.
Melody Fox still remembered that the shot was made by her master.
That night, she had a high fever and took a while to recover.
It was also at that time that she truly understood how ruthless malicious doctors were.
Ken Swanson did not know how to comfort her and could only change the topic.
“Aaron Berg reported to me that Jian Huan has left the police station.”
‘Well, I went to see her today. She’s agreed to work with us.’
“That’s good. Let’s see if she can regain the Murphy family’s trust.”
“I’m sure she still has some brains. Otherwise, the Murphy family’s main family wouldn’t have let her do so much for them in the past.”
After dinner, the gown was sent over.
They were all in the simple style that Melody Fox liked.
Ken Swanson glanced at it and said pertinently, “The ones sent over this batch are all alright, but they’re still not as good as the ones you designed.”
Melody Fox had already walked out of his depressed mood at noon.
“There are Fox rooms next time. I’ll design a gown for you.”
“It’s too exhausting, no need. However, you can design our wedding gown.”
“Okay. Let’s think about what style to design together at Fox.”
“Yeah.”
In the end, Melody Fox chose a black velvet gown with exquisite sapphire jewelry.
The waist-revealing design showed off her temperament and figure, but it was not too eye-catching.
“Nice.” Ken Swanson did not hide his praise at all.
Melody Fox smiled and said, “Then let’s do this.”
“Alright, Madam. Shall we do your makeup now?” The stylist who came with the gown asked.
“Let’s do my hair. I don’t need makeup. I don’t like makeup.”
“This…” The stylist looked at Ken Swanson awkwardly.
“Do as she says.”
The stylist had no choice but to nod. “Yes.”
He had never seen many people attend a cocktail party without even putting on makeup.
Even a man would need to be waxed, let alone someone like Melody Fox, who had poor physical conditions.
However, since it was his employer’s request, he naturally would not refute it.
“Sit here. I’ll style you.”
“Yeah.”
On the other side.
Ulric Swanson, who was staying in a hotel, was discussing with Jennie Taylor whether to attend the Summer Gala. Ulric Swanson played with the jade Buddha token that Old Master Ge had given him yesterday and asked, “After your treatment yesterday, Old Master Ge should be able to get out of bed today. This is the invitation letter that they sent to the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce’s Summer Gala. Do you think we should attend or not?”
With Jennie Taylor’s efforts and Ulric Swanson’s help, he had already subdued a large number of malicious doctors. Now, the malicious doctors’s faction respected her. Her aura had also changed a little. She was more like a leader than before.
She thought for a moment and replied, “Ken Swanson people are in Insterimond. They must have received the invitation too. It’s best for us to avoid them and not go. Moreover, since Old Master Ge’s body is recovering, he will definitely remember us. This trip today will not be beneficial to us. Instead, it will expose the fact that we came to Insterimond.”
“I’m afraid… Ken Swanson already knows that I’m here.” “But he can’t know our exact plan.”
“Alright, we’ll do as you say. We’ll reject the cocktail party and say that we’ve returned to Insterimond.”
“Then are we going back today? I’ve contacted malicious doctors from Insterimond. They’re all willing to listen to my orders.
Ulric Swanson was silent for a moment before saying, “I originally planned to go back today, but I still want to see someone.”
“Who?”
“Orek.”
Jennie Taylor frowned and said, “But didn’t we find out that the person who treated Orek was Melody Fox? I’m afraid Ken Swanson has already successfully roped in Orek.”
“That’s why I’m going to see him.”
He wanted to confirm if Orrick was really on Ken Swanson’s side.
If it was, he had to be prepared. If it wasn’t… he still had a chance to rope in Orek.
Jennie Taylor suddenly said, “Young Master, perhaps we can meet the people around him instead of Orek.”
“You mean…?”
“Eliza.”
Ulric Swanson looked up and asked, “Orek’s wife?”
“Yes, it is.”
Ulric Swanson pondered for a moment and said, “Orek and his wife have always been at odds. If we look for Eliza, I’m afraid we won’t be able to look for Orek to work with.”
“Since there’s a high chance that Orek’s side has already been beaten to it, wouldn’t it be better for us to choose Eliza?”
Two seconds later, Ulric Swanson nodded. “Alright, we’ll do as you say. Go and contact them.”
“Yes.”
Jennie Taylor bowed and left.
Only Ulric Swanson was left in the room.
He looked out of the window, but his mind couldn’t help but think of Melody Fox.
At first, he did not like this woman at all. Like the others, he thought that Melody Fox was an ugly and useless country bumpkin.
But gradually, the abilities and medical skills she displayed completely exceeded his expectations.
