Chapter 630

This action caused the other three people in the private room to look at Melody.

Only then did Russell remember that Melody was also in the private room. His mind raced as he guessed, ‘Melody is Mason and his wife’s guest. So Mason might listen to Melody, right?’

With the idea in mind, Russell said coaxingly and threateningly, “Melody, you’re my daughter. Let’s put aside old enmities, okay? You know President Taylor and his wife well. Come on and say something for me. You know I’m not the kind of person who can’t repay his loan.

“When the matter is over, I’ll bring you home. I’m always worried about a young lady like you living alone outside. When you get home, I’ll definitely make it up to you double.”

In other words, as long as Melody got this done, he would let bygones be bygones and welcome her home. Otherwise, she would have nothing to do with the Fox family anymore.

Unfortunately, Melody did not care about any of this. From the moment she signed the agreement to cut all ties with him, she had never thought of renewing their relationship.

She would go back to the Fox family sooner or later, not as Russell’s daughter, but as head of the Fox family.

Her mother bought the house where he now lived. Of course, Melody had to take it back from Russell. In front of the Mason couple,

Melody did not need to beat around the bush.

So she said bluntly, “If you want me to help you, I have a condition.”

“Name it,” Russell replied.

“I want Yolanda’s the Justalion Group shares.”

As far as Melody knew, Yolanda held 15 percent of the Justalion Group shares. Russell’s shares would belong to Melody sooner or later, but the shares in Yolanda’s hands were hard to get.

After all, Yolanda saw her as a thorn in her side. She wanted to get rid of Melody as soon as possible. In addition, Yolanda had nothing to lose now. It was impossible for her to give Melody the shares.

Therefore, Melody could only use this special method. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come to dine with Russell. She would feel disgusted just by looking at him.

“You… want Yolanda’s shares?” he asked.

“That’s right,” Melody answered.

Russell was slightly stunned as he fell into deep thought. He had long planned to divorce Yolanda. It wouldn’t do him harm if he used Melody to get his shares back.

When Mason saw the hesitation in Russell’s eyes, he expressed his stance under Ruby’s urging gaze.

“If Miss Fox can vouch for you verbally, I can do you a favor,” Mason said.

After hearing Mason’s words, Russell was less hesitant, quickly rolling his eyes.

‘What Melody has is mine, right? She’s a smart girl, but what can she do to me? Ken will protect her for a while, but not forever. Moreover, she is still weak. Once Mabel gets married, Ramon will force Ken to divorce Melody. Then without Ken’s protection, Melody will still have to listen to me, Russell thought.

After much consideration, Russell nodded in agreement. “Alright, I’ll

transfer Yolanda’s shares to you as soon as possible. Please keep your word, President Taylor.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t go back on my word,” Mason said.

Russell heaved a sigh of relief and continued to pour wine for Mason. “President Taylor, do as you please. I’ll drain this one.”

He drained his glass as if it wasn’t wine he was drinking but a chance to make a comeback.

Mason took a sip of wine in response and turned to take care of Ruby, who had a bad appetite.

Ruby did not try meat or fish and would frown when she saw anything greasy. She stopped after having a few bites of vegetables.

When Melody saw that, Melody could not help but remind her, “The baby in your belly needs nutrition. No matter what, you have to eat something. Even if the baby is fine, you will starve yourself.”

Hearing that, Ruby barely managed to eat more vegetables. But Ruby was now pregnant. This bit of food was obviously not enough. Mason saw this and was anxious. He looked at Melody for help.

Melody thought for a moment and stood up. “My cooking skills are not bad. I’ll go to the kitchen to cook a dish for Ruby. She might like it.”

Ruby replied embarrassedly, “No, I don’t want to trouble you. I heard that morning sickness doesn’t last long. I’ll be fine after it ends.”

“It’s nothing. I’m just making a dish. If you like it later, I’ll write down the recipe for you. You can get the chef at home to make it for you.”

“But…”

“It’s okay. I’ll go to the kitchen now.”

“Hey, Melody…”

Ruby hurriedly stood up to stop her. Mason was also very embarrassed and blocked Melody’s path.

“Miss Fox, you’ve already helped us a lot. Without you, I might have lost my eyesight, and we don’t know when the morning sickness will pass. I can’t trouble you with this again,” Mason said.

“It’s just a dish. It’s nothing,” Melody replied.

“Miss Fox, please!”

“That’s right, Melody. If you continue like this, I’ll feel so indebted that I won’t come and see you again,” Ruby said.

Ruby and Mason were extremely determined. Melody could only sit back down.

Russell said ingratiatingly, “Yeah, Melody, Mrs. Taylor doesn’t even like the dishes cooked by the chef here, let alone your cooking. Don’t work for nothing. Come, have a chicken drumstick.”

He obsequiously picked up a chicken drumstick and placed it on Melody’s plate. However, in the next second, Melody pushed away the plate and pressed the call button. “Please get me another dinner set,” she called out.

She didn’t even want to touch the things Russell had touched. This was simply an open humiliation to him.

Russell was furious but could only laugh dryly and find an excuse for himself. “So Melody, you don’t like chicken drumsticks. I’ll remember it.”

Melody didn’t even glance at him. This made Russell even more furious. Although he had achieved his goal, he still felt terrible.

‘Damn it, Mabel is such an idiot. She actually didn’t bring Ulric over. If Ulric were here, Melody wouldn’t have dared to give me a hard time, Russell cursed inwardly.

Russell had been having a hard time throughout the meal. Now it finally ended.

“President Taylor, let me send you back,” he offered.

“No, my driver is already waiting outside,” Mason said coolly. Then he smiled and asked Melody, “Miss Fox, do you need us to send you back?”

“My driver drove me here. Don’t worry about me. Hurry up and go back. It’s almost autumn. Don’t let Ruby catch a cold,” Melody replied.

“Alright, I’ll look for you when I learn the specific date from Insterimond.”

“Okay, bye.” Melody waved goodbye to them. James happened to drive over.

Russell quickly walked closer and said, “Melody, don’t go to your clinic. Come home and stay. It’s still more comfortable at home than outside.”

Melody was amused. “Mr. Fox, you’re so forgetful. We are no longer father and daughter. I’ll be disgusted by myself if I go back and stay, okay?”
