Chapter 1149

They could not understand why Ken Swanson’s taste was so bad.

Any of the socialites present were dozens or hundreds of times better-looking than Melody Fox.

However, Ken Swanson chose such an ugly woman to be his wife.

However, no matter how envious and jealous everyone was, they did not dare to really do anything to Melody Fox.

Not everyone was as brainless and fearless as Chen Pan and Li Lingli.

Melody Fox had no interest in these antiques.

However, since they were here, they had to support Ge Pingchuan. No matter what, they had to bid for one or two things.

“Let me see…”

However, just as Melody Fox was flipping through the booklet, a muffled sound suddenly came from the stage. She looked up and saw Ge Pingchuan clutching his chest and falling to the ground in pain. His entire body was twitching and white foam was coming out of his mouth. Finally… it was time.

She was worried that the dosage was too little and that she would not be able to draw out the poison in Ge Pingchuan’s body before the cocktail party ended.

Stage Fox was in a mess. A group of bodyguards rushed towards Ge Pingchuan.

“Elder Ge! How are you?”

“Doctor, where’s the family doctor? Hurry up and call him over!”

“Doctor Qin!”

“Qin Yue!”

A man dressed in ordinary clothes quickly ran from the audience to the stage. He squatted down and pulled Ge Pingchuan’s hand to take his pulse.

This person was Qin Yue, Ge Pingchuan’s family doctor. He was also the man that Melody Fox met in Insterimond’s Dr. Baxter7585 shop.

Not long after he checked Ge Pingchuan’s pulse, Qin Yue widened his eyes in surprise.

He subconsciously looked at Melody Fox.

Melody Fox was also staring at Qin Yue.

The moment their gazes met, Melody Fox accurately caught the flash of killing intent in Qin Yue’s eyes.

Obviously, Jennie Taylor had already introduced her to Qin Yue.

Qin Yue did not recognize her at the clinic that day. Perhaps there were too many people looking for medicine, so he did not notice her.

The corners of Melody Fox’s lips curled into a subtle arc, and then he revealed a surprised expression.

“What’s wrong with Old Master Ge?”

Her expression revealed nothing. Just like the other guests, she looked surprised and flustered.

Qin Yue looked away suspiciously, feeling puzzled.

He had already taken the antidote. Why was his illness acting up again?

Logically speaking, this antidote should be able to suppress their malicious doctor’s poison in at least a year.

However, it did not seem like it was done by Melody Fox.

Moreover, he did not think that such a young girl could have any ability.

Jennie Taylor was exaggerating. He was probably overestimating her.

But what was going on with Elder Ge? Why did his pulse change back to Fox PM, and the poison was even stronger? Sweat broke out on Qin Yue’s forehead.

Only Jennie Taylor had the antidote. He did not have it at all and could not develop it.

However, Jennie Taylor was not here. If he did not think of a way, Ge Pingchuan might die just like that.

On the stage, Qin Yue was taking his pulse. The guests below the stage were also in a mess.

“What’s wrong with Old Master Ge? Didn’t you say that he has recovered?”

“It looks like the situation is very serious. Do you want me to call an ambulance?”

“The doctor is already here. It doesn’t matter if we call an ambulance or not. Let’s not cause trouble.”

“That’s true…”

On the stage, Ge Pingchuan’s men saw that Qin Yue was squatting on the ground and taking his pulse for a long time without doing anything else. They could not help but urge him, “Doctor Qin, hurry up. Hurry up and think of a way to see what’s going on with Master.”

The beads of sweat on Qin Yue’s forehead became denser. Under the urging, he forced himself to stand up calmly.

Old Master Ge’s son, Ge Dashan, immediately asked anxiously, “Qin Yue, what’s wrong with my father? Didn’t he say that he’s cured and there’s no problem? Why is his illness acting up again?”

The anxiety in Ge Dashan’s eyes was real.

Old Master Ge’s will had not been written yet. Whether the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce would belong to him or his twin brother, he had not explained these things.

If Old Master Ge let go just like that, the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce would definitely become a mess.

He was not afraid that the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce would return to his younger brother, but he was afraid that the matter would happen too suddenly and cause a huge commotion in the Jingbei Chamber of Commerce, and outsiders would take a share.

Qin Yue raised his head and said, “Old Master Ge… isn’t having a seizure. He’s just too tired today, so he’s having epilepsy.”

“Does that mean there’s no big problem?”

“Yes. Let’s carry the old man upstairs first. I’ll immediately prescribe a prescription to help him ease his symptoms.”

As long as he could delay some time, he could get Jennie Taylor to come over.

Of course, the prerequisite was that it was not in public. Jennie Taylor and his true identity could not be discovered. Ge Dashan believed in Qin Yue without a doubt. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good that you’re fine. I’ll bring Dad upstairs now. Hurry up and write the prescription! I’ll send someone to brew the medicine immediately!”

“Yes, Mr. Mountain.”

However, just as Ge Dashan was about to send someone to carry Ge Pingchuan upstairs, a female voice suddenly sounded-

“No, it’s not an ordinary spasm. We can’t touch him casually, or it will become even worse!”

Ge Dashan subconsciously stopped his subordinates and looked down the stage.

“Who? Who was talking just now?”

Qin Yue was the first to realize that the person who spoke was Jennie Taylor’s Melody Fox.

He did not know what Melody Fox wanted to do, but he subconsciously blocked Ge Dashan’s line of sight and urged, “Mr. Dashan, we have to bring Old Master Ge to a less crowded place to lie down as soon as possible. Moreover, there are so many people here. It’s not good for them to keep watching Old Master Ge in this state. It might affect Old Master Ge’s dignity.”

Just as Ge Dashan was hesitating, he heard the female voice again-

“He’s not suffering from a seizure caused by ordinary exhaustion. He’s poisoned.”

As soon as the word “poisoned” came out, Ge Dashan did not dare to touch Ge Pingchuan casually.

He pushed Qin Yue, who was in front of him, away and looked at the audience. “Who said he was poisoned?”

The audience was silent. They were all looking for the person to speak to.

Melody Fox finally stood up from his seat.

Apart from Ge Pingchuan, who was foaming at the mouth, everyone looked at Melody Fox.

“And you are… ?”

Ge Dashan was not present at the beginning, so he did not know Melody Fox’s identity.

However, looking at the seat she was sitting in, her status was probably not ordinary.

Therefore, Ge Dashan’s words to Melody Fox were somewhat credible.

After all, Ge Pingchuan’s symptoms did not seem to be caused by exhaustion.

Facing Ge Dashan’s question, Ken Swanson also stood up and said, “This is my wife, Melody Fox. She’s in charge of the largest traditional medicine dojo in Silverlake. Her medical skills are very good. Perhaps she can help Old Master Ge take a look and see what’s going on.”

Ge Dashan knew Ken Swanson.

When he heard that Ken Swanson was the guarantor, he immediately believed Melody Fox more.

“So it’s Grandma Mr. Swanson. Grandma Mr. Swanson. You

said my father was poisoned. Are you sure?”

Melody Fox nodded without hesitation. “I’m sure.”
