Chapter 1178
“Alright, I’ll be there. I’ll be going to the Tong family in the next two days. Remember to inform them in advance. I can’t go over rashly.”
Melody Fox quickly typed a reply on his phone.
Tong Li quickly replied, “I’ll tell them now.”
“Yeah.”
After Melody Fox replied to the last word, he started to look up information on the computer without stopping.
There were many ancient books on her tablet.
“What information are you looking for?” Ken Swanson asked.
“A lot… about the witchcraft in Miaojiang, the rocks in the rockery… and their countermeasures.”
Ken Swanson asked curiously, “Where did you find this information? You can’t find it online, right?”
“Yes, it’s not online. It’s all my master’s collection of books for many years. Before I set off for Silverlake, I didn’t have time to read many books, so I took photos of them and stored them on my tablet. As for those who have read them, I’ve also taken notes.”
Ken Swanson looked at the organized notes on the tablet and could not help but raise his eyebrows.
“I kind of understand why you know so many things.”
“That’s right. This information is one of the important channels for me to learn.”
Ken Swanson shook his head. “I’m not talking about the information. I’m talking about your own people. Someone as smart and serious as you can definitely learn very well no matter what you learn.”
Melody Fox scratched his head in embarrassment. “Did I? My master always said that I was very stupid…”
“He did that to motivate you, but I believe that he must think that you’re very smart. I remember that he took in many disciples, but after leaving the mountain, he only contacted you. After so many years, he only brought you along.”
“Perhaps it’s because Master feels that my mother passed away early and takes pity on me.”
“No.” Ken Swanson pressed down on Melody Fox’s shoulders and said, “Melody, you have to be confident in yourself. I don’t understand why a smart and charming person like you always likes to belittle yourself. You have to believe that you are an outstanding person. You are the most outstanding among his disciples, and also the person he feels is most worthy of teaching.”
“…” Melody Fox’s lips moved.
However, before she could speak, Ken Swanson continued, “If it’s because of your appearance that you’re not confident, there’s really no need. I’ve never valued looks because I know that looks are useless. No matter how beautiful a person is, they will become ugly. when they get older. However, her inner self will not change. In fact, she will become more and more charming as she gets older. Therefore, in my eyes, you’re really the most beautiful.”
Melody Fox’s eyes reddened.
She was indeed not confident.
However, it was not because of Ken Swanson’s appearance.
Instead, it was the kind of lack of confidence that was cultivated from being abandoned by her family in the countryside since she was young. Later on, although she was brought up by her master and gradually became cheerful after meeting Ulric Swanson, Ulric Swanson’s habitual words of suppression once again drew out her lack of confidence.
That was how she became who she was now.
However, after listening to Ken Swanson’s words, she suddenly understood.
Even if she wasn’t confident in herself, she had to be confident in Ken Swanson’s judgment!
Otherwise, she would only be trapped in the shadow Ulric Swanson brought to her. No matter how many lives she lived, she would not be able to walk out.
The goal of her rebirth was actually revenge. However, after knowing Ken Swanson, her goal gradually became to live herself. Revenge was just a small goal other than living herself.
Today, she was even more certain that her goal in life was not just revenge. She was bound by the shackles of the past.
She wanted to live a wonderful life! To live to her heart’s content!
This way, she wouldn’t be given a chance to be reborn.
Melody Fox was shocked and hugged Ken Swanson tightly.
“Ken Swanson, after everything is over, let’s go on a trip! We’ll go to
all the places we’ve never been and see the scenery we’ve never seen before.”
Ken Swanson hugged Melody Fox back and replied solemnly, “Alright. I’ll listen to you.”
Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the airport.
Since Spencer was left behind by Melody Fox to investigate the rockery incident, Ken Swanson sent Seventeen to meet them at Maria Fox’s hometown.
Ever since Seventeen recovered from his injuries, he was sent to Sid Quant’s side by Ken Swanson to take care of Sid Quant’s food and daily life. His days could be considered miserable.
It was fine if he was always tricked by Sid Quant, but boredom was even more fatal to him.
He was a much quieter person than Spencer, but he felt a little uncomfortable staring at Sid Quant’s daily life.
Therefore, after receiving the notification from Ken Swanson, he happily packed his luggage.
Sid Quant could not help but pout.
“Is my life that difficult to live with you? It’s better to follow me than Melody, right? She has something to arrange for you all day long. Wouldn’t I be much more free here?”
Seventeen did not speak. It was only when he was done packing that he squeezed out a sentence like toothpaste. “I’m born to work.”
Sid Quant almost fainted from anger.
“Scram, scram, scram! I’m annoyed just by looking at you! Hurry up and scram to meet your Miss Fox!”
Sid Quant kicked Seventeen in the butt and slammed the door after kicking him out of the house.
Damn it!
There was a problem with his male sexual functions, and he was restricted from overexerting himself. Therefore, the only fun he had every day was to tease the quiet Seventeen.
Now, the only fun was gone.
When Melody Fox returned, he would definitely teach her a lesson!
As a man, being insensible was no different from being dead.
He had to get Melody Fox to cure him of this illness!
Otherwise, he would stay by her side and follow her wherever she went.
Not long after Seventeen left, the doorbell rang again.
Sid Quant grunted and ran to open the door. As he opened the door, he said, “How is it? Are you regretting it? It’s better to stay with me…”
He stopped mid-sentence.
This was because the person standing outside the door was not Seventeen who had returned. Instead, it was an unfamiliar girl with an obedient and sweet face.
But to say that it was unfamiliar… it also seemed familiar.
Of course, although she was a girl, she was actually about the same age as Melody Fox. It was just that she was wearing a lady’s dress and looked especially pure.
Although he was insensible, he subconsciously revealed his
signature arrogant smile and subconsciously made a judgment for the other party.
Hmm… such an obedient girl was the type that he didn’t like.
He would never touch an obedient girl.
The price was too high.
If both parties liked to play, there would be no psychological burden.
Therefore, Sid Quant’s smile quickly became perfunctory. He even hoped that the other party would leave quickly.
When he saw women now, he would remember his illness, so it was better not to see them.
“You are…? Did you come to the wrong door?” Sid Quant asked.
The girl at the door opened her big round eyes and asked with a hint of grievance, “Sid Quant, don’t you recognize me?”
