Chapter 727
“Young Master, Miss Fox signed.”
“Okay.” Ken Swanson did not even look up. After checking the documents, he pressed the internal line to call his secretary.
“Send the documents to the legal department and have them finalize the project before they get off work.”
“Yes.” The secretary did not dare to say anything else and turned to leave with the documents.
Today, everyone in the company could tell that Ken Swanson was in a bad mood. No one dared to say a word in front of him.
However, James Deeds was a rather slow person. He always forgot to observe people’s expressions and started talking nonsense.
“Margaret doesn’t seem to be in good spirits today. He didn’t eat much for lunch. Miss Fox plans to cook personally at night.”
Ken Swanson was buried in a pile of documents. He did not react, but he did not stop James Deeds from continuing to gossip.
“Oh, right.” James Deeds patted his head and said, “There’s a guest at home today. Miss Fox invited him.”
Ken Swanson stopped writing and looked at James Deeds. “What guest?”
“I don’t know him, but I saw the work pass of Feiyang Law Firm hanging around his neck. Why do you think Miss Fox is suddenly looking for a lawyer? Is it because of the Justalion Group shares?”
Ken Swanson’s face darkened.
“It’s not that.”
“And that is… ?”
Ken Swanson did not answer. He only ordered, “Find me the number of the boss of Feiyang Law Firm immediately.”
“Yes.” James Deeds was shocked. He did not dare to say anything else and quickly contacted the boss of Feiyang Law Firm.
Feiyang Law Firm was a relatively old law firm in Silverlake. It had a high success rate, especially when it came to handling divorce cases.
What made Ken Swanson know about this law firm was that there was once a rich man in their circle who cheated on his wife and wanted to leave with nothing.
It was Feiyang Law Firm that had helped the powerless woman obtain huge benefits alone. From then on, they became famous and left a memory in Ken Swanson’s mind.
Ken Swanson’s eyes became abnormally cold, like a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg.
Even James Deeds, who was used to seeing Ken Swanson’s expression, was terrified.
“Young Master, I’ve contacted him…”
James Deeds nervously handed over the phone in the middle of the call.
“You go out first.”
“…Yes.”
James Deeds quickly ran out of the door as if he was afraid of being implicated.
He muttered in his heart. What was Miss Fox doing? How could she make the young master so angry? He had never seen the young master like this…
Also, weren’t they doing very well last night? Why did it suddenly become like this?
Damn, Melody Fox, she always liked to cause trouble for him!
However, James Deeds did not dare to complain about Melody Fox.
In the office, after Ken Swanson introduced himself, the boss of Feiyang Law Firm, Zhang Feiyang, was shocked. “L-Mr. Swanson? Why are you looking for our law firm?”
Zhang Feiyang knew that the Swanson Group had a very powerful lawyer. He could kill their entire law firm alone. Why would Ken Swanson entrust them?
If it wasn’t business, it must be personal.
Sure enough, in the next second, Ken Swanson said in a deep voice, “Did someone called Melody Fox entrust your lawyer’s lawyer to settle the divorce?”
Zhang Feiyang quickly checked the computer and quickly found the words “Melody Fox”.
“Yes, she contacted us last night.”
“Divorced?”
Zhang Feiyang looked at the note: Helping a friend with a divorce lawsuit.
He immediately replied, “Yes.”
Ken Swanson narrowed his eyes and said irrationally, “You’re not allowed to take her case. You know the consequences if you do.”
Zhang Feiyang shuddered.
Everyone knew that tycoons were tycoons. the Swanson family was the Swanson family. These were two different things.
He definitely did not want to offend Ken Swanson.
Therefore, Zhang Feiyang immediately replied, “Yes! Don’t worry, we won’t take any of her cases!”
With that, Zhang Feiyang said smartly, “I’ll also contact my other friends who run my law firm and guarantee that she won’t be able to find any decent law firm.”
Ken Swanson raised his eyebrows. “Your name is Zhang Feiyang, right?”
“…Yes.” Zhang Feiyang’s heart was pounding. He was afraid that he had made the wrong bet on Ken Swanson. In the next second, Ken Swanson said calmly, “You’re very good. I’ll remember you. No wonder Feiyang Law Firm can achieve what it has now. Director Zhang has a bright future. In the future, if our the Swanson Group lacks manpower, we’ll have to trouble Feiyang Law Firm to help us.”
This was a chance for cooperation!
Zhang Feiyang was so excited that he almost jumped three feet high.
He was about to thank him when Ken Swanson hung up.
However, this was enough for Zhang Feiyang to be happy for a long time.
He did not delay and immediately made arrangements. “No one is allowed to take on the Melody Fox case.”
After giving the order, he quickly contacted all the law firm bosses in the same industry.
Although they were enemies in the same industry, Feiyang Law Firm was very famous. Everyone still gave Zhang Feiyang this bit of face.
At the same time, Ken Swanson, who was on the other end of the line, heaved a long sigh of relief, but felt even heavier.
He knew that what he was doing was selfish, but he could not control himself.
When he thought about how Melody Fox might be labeled as someone else in the future and be called Madam by the man’s surname, he had the urge to destroy the entire world. He had never been able to shake Melody Fox’s heart. It was fine, but when Melody Fox’s heart was given to someone else, he would bear the pain and let go.
However, he was not ready to let go yet.
Or rather, he had not started preparing at all.

Meanwhile…
In the Swanson family manor.
The meeting place with the lawyer was finally set here because Dorrene Downey happened to bring the child over to thank her.
Hence, after discussing with the lawyer, she decided to meet her at the manor.
However, just as they were almost done discussing the details, the lawyer came back from the toilet and said apologetically, “Miss Fox, Miss Jia. I’m really sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t take on this case.”
Dorrene Downey was stunned, and his smile froze on his face.
“Is, is it about the price? I can give you double the price.” “That’s right.” Melody Fox also said, “The price is not a problem. You can name the price.”
“No.” The other party shook his head and said, “My old mother suddenly fell seriously ill. I have to take leave to go back and take care of her.”
“I see… Then there’s no other way.” Dorrene Downey nodded in understanding. He turned to Melody Fox and said, “Then let’s find someone else?”
Melody Fox nodded and felt that something was amiss.
However, in the conversation just now, the other party was not the kind of person who would raise the price on the spot or have ulterior motives, so it should be true.
Since the collaboration failed, Melody Fox did not insist. She contacted the receptionist at Feiyang Law Firm and asked her to find another reliable lawyer.
However, the receptionist refused directly. “I’m really sorry, Miss Fox. All the other lawyers in our law firm have cases, so…”
“So there’s no one?”
“I’m sorry. But when the others have free time, I can contact you.”
