Chapter 1242
It was not until the Ken Swanson car drove away that the group of people dared to walk out from behind the door.
David Marrow patted Nana Jensen’s shoulder and said, Don’t worry, right? I knew they wouldn’t quarrel.”
Nana Jensen was indeed relieved.
She said with lingering fear, “Fortunately, they didn’t quarrel over the truth game. Otherwise, I might have to die to apologize.”
David Marrow was also shocked. He did not expect Melody Fox to have an ex-boyfriend.
“I really don’t know what kind of person Miss Fox’s ex-boyfriend is.”
Nana Jensen blurted out, “He must be an outstanding person.”
She was now a complete fan of Melody Fox. In her opinion, only a man as outstanding as Ken Swanson was worthy of her.
However, David Marrow said, “That’s not necessarily true. Didn’t you see Miss Fox’s expression? It feels like when she mentions her ex-boyfriend, it’s no different from mentioning a rat with maggots.”
“That’s true. Since he’s a scumbag, he can’t be that outstanding. True outstanding people respect others very much and won’t casually trample on their sincerity.”
On the other side.
Ulric Swanson, who was discussing Ken Swanson with Jennie Taylor, suddenly sneezed.
Jennie Taylor couldn’t help but ask with concern, “Master Ulric, did you catch a cold? You have to take care of yourself. Why don’t we stop here today? Take some cold medicine and have a good sleep. I’ll go back and investigate what Ken Swanson has been up to recently. I’ll report to you tomorrow.”
Ulric Swanson did not know if it was because he had drunk too much just now or if he really had a cold, but his temples hurt.
He rubbed his temples and said, “Okay, go back. We’ll discuss tomorrow.”
“Yes…”
Jennie Taylor quickly retreated with another subordinate that Ulric Swanson called over.
The other subordinate was Daniel Townsend, Ulric Swanson’s other right-hand man besides Jennie Taylor.
After the two of them quietly left the manor, Daniel Townsend looked at Jennie Taylor’s calm demeanor and could not help but ask, “Sister Jennie, what do you think of that Instagram? Why do I feel that… you don’t seem to take this matter seriously?”
While Jennie Taylor and Ulric Swanson were thinking hard about what Instagram was trying to achieve, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Jennie Taylor when she was completely absent-minded.
Jennie Taylor raised her eyebrows and said, “It’s not something important to begin with. Why do you have to take it so seriously?”
“What do you mean…”
Jennie Taylor looked in the direction of the manor and said, “Daniel Townsend, don’t you think that Second Young Master is a little like a snake now?”
“This…” Daniel Townsend did not dare to say anything. He just lowered his head.
When Jennie Taylor saw Daniel Townsend’s reaction, she snorted and said, “As the second young master’s right-hand man, you have to remind him not to treat his opponent as an opponent too much. This will only increase others’ morale and lower his own prestige. If you don’t believe me, you can go and investigate tonight. I think that Instagram is definitely meaningless.”
With that, Jennie Taylor got into the car and drove away quickly.
Daniel Townsend stood where he was for a moment. He still did not believe that Ken Swanson would send this message without any purpose. He immediately sent out all the forces he could use to investigate the situation.
At midnight, Daniel Townsend finally learned the general story from one of his subordinates.
His eyes widened. He grabbed the man’s collar in disbelief and asked, “You’re saying… that Instagram was just a punishment for playing Truth or Dare?”
“Y-yes…”
His subordinate did not know why Daniel Townsend had such a big reaction. It was just that Ken Swanson had gone to play Truth or Dare.
However, when he saw the ferocious look in Daniel Townsend’s eyes, he could only repeat it again. “It’s indeed Truth or Dare’s punishment… We don’t dare to follow Eldest Young Master casually for fear of being discovered. It wasn’t easy for us to find out.”
Daniel Townsend’s grip on his subordinate’s collar suddenly lost its strength and he slowly lowered his hand.
He thought of Jennie Taylor’s words.
It was really a misunderstanding.
It was really… Second Young Master’s shadow of a snake.
But how was he going to report this to the Second Young Master?
Second Young Master would definitely fly into a rage!
Gradually, the night deepened.
Melody Fox drank the last dose of medicine while thinking of Ken Swanson’s request on the back of her head.
After washing up, Melody Fox looked at Ken Swanson who was lying on the bed. Just as she was about to pretend that she had something to do and go to the study, Ken Swanson patted on the bed.
“Come here. It’s already so late. Where are you planning to go?”
Melody Fox blushed and said, “I suddenly remembered that I have something to deal with on the computer.”
“What can’t be dealt with tomorrow?”
“It’s… It’s… It’s about Herbathrive.”
“There’s still time to deal with Herbathrive tomorrow. They should be resting now. Don’t continue to squeeze your employees dry.”
As Ken Swanson spoke, he patted on the bed again and said, “The most important thing now is for you to fulfill your promise.”
“W-What promise…” Melody Fox pretended to be dumb.
Ken Swanson sat up from the bed and pulled her onto the bed.
“Have you forgotten what you promised me at the door of the backwave? Or do you want me to continue to be angry?”
Melody Fox’s face heated up.
“I, what did I promise you…”
Ken Swanson leaned close to her ear and said in a low voice, “Promise me that you will sleep with me tonight…”
“I-I didn’t say that.”
“Huh? Shameless?” His hands began to unbutton Melody Fox’s pajamas.
Melody Fox’s face was burning.
Everything slowly became logical.
The candlelight flickered, and it was a beautiful night.
On the other side.
Over at Daniel Townsend.
Daniel Townsend tossed and turned the entire night and did not sleep well.
It was not until he reached the Room, which reported to Ulric Swanson, that he forced himself to focus and rushed over with Jennie Taylor.
Jennie Taylor only needed to look at Daniel Townsend’s eyes to know that her judgment was correct. He was really an unimportant small mistake.
“Sister Jennie…” Daniel Townsend nervously asked Jennie Taylor, “How should I report this to the Second Young Master so that he won’t be angry?”
Jennie Taylor sneered and said, “With your brain, how did you become the Second Young Master’s right-hand man?” Daniel Townsend quickly lifted Jennie Taylor. “I’m actually not stupid compared to ordinary people, but before you, I’m a big stupid pig. Please give me some pointers…” Jennie Taylor raised her chin slightly and said, “Since you say so, I’ll help you. Tell me what you know. I’ll report to Second Young Master later.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Daniel Townsend immediately told her everything he knew, not daring to leave out any details. Ten minutes later, the two of them met Ulric Swanson in a sealed villa.
Ulric Swanson was treating a Silverlake guest to a drink.
Ulric Swanson was inviting the higher-ups out.
When he saw the two of them, Ulric Swanson gave them a look and asked them to wait inside.
