Chapter 760
When Ken Swanson saw Melody Fox’s expression turn ugly, he quickly expressed his attitude.
“You’re right. The person who hurt him was his first love. If anyone wants revenge, he should do it to his first love, not to any other girl. I’ Il talk about him the next time we meet.”
Melody nodded, not really wanting to continue the topic of “first love”.
At the mention of this topic, she would always think of Ulric Swanson and… Ken Swanson’s first love, Mango.
She wondered what kind of person Mango was.
Just as the car was about to reach the Manor of the Swanson family, James Deeds suddenly received a call.
“Alright, got it. Send it directly to Young Master’s email.”
James Deeds hung up as he spoke.
“What is it?” Ken Swanson asked.
“Young Master, I’ve found out about Xiang Jianxiong and the other two. They were arrested by Ulric Swanson’s people at 8 pm last night. The people we sent to investigate reported to me that other than Xiang Jianxiong and the other two, four others were also captured by Ulric Swanson’s private manor. I’ll send you the list after confirming it.”
“It’s said that after these people stayed in Ulric Swanson’s manor for about half a year, Fox came out. Their expressions seemed to be very strange. You can check the surveillance footage in your email first…”
As James Deeds spoke, Ken Swanson had already opened the surveillance camera in his email.
Surveillance footage showed six people, including Xiang Jianxiong, being forcibly taken into Ulric Swanson’s private estate in the night.
Fox Hou, who was waiting for these six people to come out, looked unscathed, but each of his expressions was worse than the last.
“Xiang Jianxiong, Shi Luo…”
He quickly confirmed the identities of the six people.
“What?!” James Deeds was shocked as well. He asked, “Shi Luo betrayed us too?”
“Mm.” Ken Swanson’s expression turned extremely cold.
Melody Fox asked in confusion, “Shilo is…?”
Ken Swanson took a deep breath and said, “Shi Luo is different from Xiang Jianxiong and the others. He has always been neutral. He’s not biased towards Ulric Swanson or me. He’s already the Swanson Group’s elder. He’s also one of the talents that the Swanson Group truly relied on his own ability to slowly rise to the top from the grassroots.”
Only then did Melody Fox understand why Ken Swanson’s expression was so ugly after knowing that Shi Luo had also sided with Ulric Swanson.
She clenched her fists and said, “A neutral person like him would not easily choose to take sides unless he had no choice. Our guess is right. Ulric Swanson must have used Jennie Taylor’s malicious doctors’s skill to threaten them with death.”
“Yes, this matter has to be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise… in less than a month, the entire upper echelons of the Swanson Group might be his people.”
“Don’t worry, I can still handle Jennie Taylor’s tricks,” Melody Fox said. She looked up at James Deeds in the driver’s seat and said, “Send me the information on Xiang Jianxiong, the most timid guy, as soon as possible. I’ll find an opportunity to start the operation tomorrow.”
“Yes!”
Coincidentally, the car arrived at the Manor of the Swanson family.
Coincidentally, Ramon Swanson had also arrived home. When the dishes were served, Melody realized that Astrid Swanson did not go downstairs.
It was unknown if it was because Astrid Swanson felt embarrassed about being grounded and did not want to go downstairs to eat, or if it was for some other reason.
However, Astrid Swanson did not go downstairs for dinner. No one at the dining table mentioned her, including Ulric Swanson, her biological son.
“Melody, eat more.” It was obvious that Margaret did not take the fact that Astrid Swanson did not come downstairs for dinner to heart. She affectionately picked up a big drumstick for her.
“Thank you, Grandma…” Melody quickly thanked her.
“There’s no need to thank me. Eat more. You’re too thin. You can nourish your body better with more nutrition. I’m looking forward to you giving birth to a fat great-grandson for me to play with! Oh, it doesn’t matter if it’s a girl. It’s not bad to be as sensible and cute as Cindy.”
Melody’s face was slightly red. Just as she was thinking about how to make Margaret give up on the idea of having a great-grandson, she heard Ramon Swanson suddenly say, “You’ve been registered for a while. Are you planning to hold a wedding soon?”
Margaret slapped her head.
“Look at my brain! You guys haven’t had a wedding yet! I almost forgot about this…”
Melody quickly said, “It doesn’t matter if I don’t hold a wedding. I don’t have any obsession with weddings.”
In her previous life, she had also yearned for a wedding. However, after experiencing a wedding, she realized how tiring it was.
Moreover, when she was the only person who cared about her wedding, she had to do everything herself. After a day of the wedding, she felt that she was almost useless.
She didn’t want to do such a painful thing again.
Therefore, even though she had already opened her heart to Ken Swanson, she still had a deep resistance to the wedding.
However, Ken Swanson disagreed.
“If you marry me, how can I not give you a wedding?” As he spoke, he looked up at Margaret and said, “Grandma, why don’t you find a master to help us count the days one day? You know more about this.”
Melody Fox was about to reject her again when she saw Ken Swanson’s eyes shining. It was obvious that he was looking forward to their wedding.
She had no choice but to swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Since Ken Swanson wanted to hold a wedding with her so badly… she could only brace herself.
Ken Swanson had done so much for her. It was just a wedding. She was still willing to suffer.
Seeing that Melody Fox had tacitly agreed, Margaret Swanson said happily, “Of course, leave the date to me! Coincidentally, I haven’t seen Melody’s grandmother in a long time. I’ll discuss this with her.”
At the mention of Maria Fox, and Melody Fox, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
Ever since Yolanda Fox went to prison, her grandmother had gone to the countryside. She had called her many times, but her grandmother refused to answer every time. In addition, she had been too busy recently and had not tried to call her for a long time.
It had been so long. She wondered if Grandma was feeling better.
Perhaps, she needed to find time to look for her grandmother personally.
After dinner, Ramon Swanson called Ken Swanson to the study. No one knew what they were talking about.
Melody Fox was about to return to their room to prepare for Xiang Jianxiong’s matter when she suddenly received a message from Aaron Berg.
“Miss Fox, James Deeds and I have something to report to you.”
Seeing the message, Melody Fox rolled her eyes twice and replied, “Let’s talk in the car.”
“Yes.”
After receiving the reply, Melody Fox quickly walked towards the parking lot.
However, just as she reached the door, she bumped into Ulric Swanson.
“Sister-in-law, where are you going?”
Melody Fox said calmly, “I left something in the car… But I don’t have to report to you where I’m going, right?”
“Of course not. As your younger brother, I’m just concerned about you. When the wedding date is set, remember to tell me so that I can prepare a big gift for you in advance.”
Melody Fox met Ulric Swanson’s gaze coldly.
He still had the same warm smile on his face as in his previous life. Any girl would be moved by it.
However, she did not know if her mental state had changed, but looking at Ulric Swanson’s face now, she would only feel endless disgust.
