Chapter 736

One had to be wary of others. Although she was still willing to let Aaron Berg have a special reason, she was still careful when she changed her clothes and hid a dagger in her sleeve before leaving.

Although she was sure that her skills were better than Aaron Berg’s, there was still a certain risk if she did not make any preparations.

Almost all the lights in the villa had been turned off. Melody Fox left the villa quietly and walked straight to the back garden.

As soon as she reached the entrance of the back garden, Melody Fox saw Aaron Berg waiting for her by the fountain. “Miss Fox.”

Aaron Berg lowered his voice and took a few steps forward with an indescribably strange expression.

Melody Fox nodded and stopped when he was six feet away from Aaron Berg.

Without preamble, she asked, “What did you find out?” Aaron Berg said with a conflicted expression, “Someone did… do something behind your back to stop all the law firms from working with you. The first to receive the news was Feiyang Law Firm, and then the boss of Feiyang Law Firm informed the other law firms…”

Melody Fox frowned and interrupted Aaron Berg.

“You don’t have to say that. Just tell me the identity of the person behind this and the name.”

A conflicted expression appeared on Aaron Berg’s face again.

Melody Fox felt even more suspicious.

“Aaron Berg, what’s wrong? Is this person’s identity so difficult for you to say?”

She didn’t understand.

Aaron Berg seemed to have mustered up his courage. He puffed out his chest and said, “Let me tell you, Miss Fox! That person is none other than Sir.”

Melody had yet to react.

“Sir? Which sir?”

Looking at Aaron Berg’s complicated expression, Melody Fox finally reacted.

She widened her eyes in disbelief and took a long time to find her voice.

“Y-you’re saying that the person behind this is Ken Swanson?”

Aaron Berg gritted his teeth and said softly, “You didn’t hear wrongly. That person… is indeed Sir.”

Melody Fox was still unwilling to believe it.

“Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

Aaron Berg nodded and said with difficulty, “You didn’t hear wrongly. I didn’t make a mistake either. At first, I thought that I had made a mistake or that the person we captured was trying to deceive me. But after catching a few of them, they all pointed to you.”

Melody Fox did not know what expression to show at this moment.

She had been busy with this matter for a long time today, but she did not expect that the culprit was the person closest to her.

Melody Fox finally understood why Aaron Berg did not make things clear over the phone and insisted on calling her to this remote garden. He even chose the side of the fountain.

A fountain could cover up a lot of sounds.

Aaron Berg was indeed telling the truth.

Melody Fox looked up and met Aaron Berg’s gaze. He thanked him sincerely. “Thank you, Aaron Berg.”

Aaron Berg shook his head, then lowered his eyes and said, “But this is the last time.”

Next time, he would not tell Melody Fox any secrets related to Sir.

This time, it was only out of gratitude.

He was grateful that she had kept him alive.

He had always been clear about gratitude and grudges. His sister’s death made him very sad, but he also knew that the person who ordered Nyla Berg’s death was Sir. It had nothing to do with Melody Fox. Their lives belonged to Sir in the first place. Someone like Nyla Berg who wanted to seek revenge was an anomaly.

However, gratitude was one thing. This did not mean that he would stand on a different side from Sir next time.

Melody Fox nodded. “I understand, but I still have to thank you. Go and rest. I’m going back too.”

Melody Fox walked towards the villa with a lot on her mind.

Along the way, Melody Fox kept asking herself, “Why did he do this?”

But even when she reached the door of the study, she still couldn’t find an answer.

The only possibility was that he did not like her, so he deliberately wanted to make things difficult for her.

‘But why?

They had never even quarreled before. Why did he have to make things difficult for her?

Moreover, he had many ways to make things difficult for her. Ken Swanson would not choose to do such a despicable thing.

Could there really be a misunderstanding, causing the law firm to misunderstand, or did Aaron Berg not do a good job?

Countless question marks jumped around in Melody Fox’s mind.

She took a deep breath and finally decided to ask him directly.

She would never be able to find an answer if she let her imagination run wild here, so she might as well confront him face to face.

After making up her mind, Melody Fox was afraid that she would hesitate again, so she raised her hand and knocked on the study door.

Ken Swanson’s voice came from inside. “Who is it?”

The voice was very clear, which meant that he was still awake.

“It’s me,” Melody Fox replied. “I have something to ask you. Can I come in?”

There was silence for two seconds before a voice sounded again. “I’m already asleep. Let’s talk tomorrow morning.”

“I’ll finish quickly…”

Ken Swanson rejected her directly. “I’ll look for you tomorrow morning.”

Melody Fox clenched her fists tightly. In the end, she could only return empty-handed.

She could not fall into a deep sleep for the entire night. Even the slightest movement outside the window could wake her up.

Melody Fox could no longer lie down. She planned to wake Ken Swanson up before he woke up.

However, when she reached the door of the study, she realized that the door was half open. She pushed the door open and saw that Ken Swanson was nowhere to be seen. There was not even a shadow.

Coincidentally, a servant passed by.

Melody Fox quickly pulled that person back and asked, ” Where’s Ken Swanson ?”

The servant did not know that they had slept in separate rooms last night. When she heard this, she asked in surprise, “Young Master has already gone to work. Don’t you know?”

Melody Fox did not answer and asked, “What time?”

“I heard from the kitchen that he left at five o’clock. The kitchen is about to prepare breakfast, but the eldest young master has already left.” “Five o’clock?!”

Melody Fox suddenly remembered that at about five o’clock, she did hear a commotion next door.

However, the sky was still dark, so she did not think too much about it and continued to close her eyes to rest.

Now that he thought about it, Ken Swanson should have woken up at the time.

So… was he hiding from her?

It seemed that the person who obstructed her from finding a lawyer was really Ken Swanson.

But why?

Why would he do such a small thing?

Melody Fox felt like her brain was about to explode.

***************

However, at the same time, the new butler found her and said politely,” Mrs. Swanson, Sir wants you to go to his study.

Melody Fox asked in shock, “Why are you looking for me?” The butler looked helpless and said, “I don’t know about that.”

“Then I’ll go over now.”

Melody Fox could not get an answer from the butler. She personally walked towards Ramon Swanson’s study.

Ramon Swanson’s study was on the third floor. She had gone in last time, but it was not a good thing.

Soon, Melody Fox arrived at the door of the study. Without waiting for her to knock, Ramon Swanson said, “Come in.” Melody Fox walked in and saw Ramon Swanson standing by the window with his back facing her. It was almost the same location as the last time they talked.

Ramon Swanson saw her coming through the reflection in the window glass.

“Dad, you…”

Ramon Swanson raised his hand to interrupt her. He turned around and said, “This is a gift I brought back for you on this business trip. It’s not anything valuable. Take it and play with it.”
