Chapter 789
Under the call of David Marrow, the conference room was soon filled with people.
Everyone sat down according to their positions. Everyone’s expressions were nervous.
Obviously, they did not know which one to choose between Colin Herbert and Melody Fox.
It was as if choosing anyone would let down another person.
David Marrow’s palms were sweating profusely. He wiped his hands on his pants as if he could not wipe them off.
He was even a little envious of the people Melody Fox poached from the small hospital because they did not have to choose which side to stand on.
However, he was still unwilling to believe that Colin Herbert would burn the bridge after crossing it.
No one else knew about Beverly Herbert, but he knew.
If Miss Fox and Fox had not discovered that there was something wrong with Madam’s body, she might have…
How could his master do such a thing to chase Miss Fox away?
No, definitely not!
However, as the seconds ticked by, David Marrow became more and more uncertain.
In just ten minutes, the meeting seemed to have lasted for an entire year.
Finally, 10 minutes is up.
Colin Herbert sat at the head of the conference room and spoke with a serious expression-
“Everyone, when Beverly Herbert is hospitalized, I rarely come over to Herbathrive … Fortunately, Melody is here, so Herbathrive can maintain normal order. There are also many new people. Our reputation has also improved compared to before. The nearby residents are full of praise for us.”
“Coupled with the fact that Herbathrive made it onto the news a few days ago, Herbathrive’s popularity has increased by several levels. Looking at the entire Halcyon, our Herbathrive’s popularity can be ranked in the top three of the traditional medicine pavilions.”
“And all of this is thanks to Melody’s efforts.”
Melody quickly shook her head and said, “This is not my credit alone. It’s all thanks to everyone’s cooperation and mutual support.”
The staff of the medical center was afraid that Melody would be chased away, so they quickly said, “Miss Fox, you’ re too humble! Without you, Herbathrive might have been closed down by those bad guys long ago.”
“That’s right. Mr. Herbert, Miss Fox’s contribution to Herbathrive is obvious to everyone. She’s really loyal to Herbathrive.”
Colin Herbert did not know why everyone was speaking up for Melody one after another.
However, this also indirectly proved that Melody Fox was really doing very well. It was even better than him, the boss of Herbathrive.
He nodded and said, “I know what you’re talking about. I’ll give Melody a reward according to the original reward and punishment rules of Herbathrive. All of you quiet down first. I just said that I have a notice to say.”
David Marrow endured it again and again. In the end, he could not take it anymore and stood up from his chair.
“Master, I know what you want to say. I don’t agree!”
“Huh?” Colin Herbert frowned in confusion and said unhappily, “David Marrow, you’re fine. Why are you suddenly crazy?”
“I’m not crazy!”
David Marrow mustered his courage and said, “Everyone can see what Miss Fox did for Herbathrive. If it wasn’t for her… We would have been sealed when that couple came to cause trouble. Master, I remember that you weren’t such a person in the past. How did you become… like this after leaving for a while?”
“What have I become?”
The more Colin Herbert listened, the more confused he became. However, David Marrow’s tone and expression made him feel uncomfortable. He subconsciously frowned and said sternly, “I don’t care what you mean. Shut up first and talk to me after the meeting.”
“No! It’ll be too late after the meeting. You can’t chase Miss Fox away! If you chase her away, I, I…”
He really couldn’t say the second half of the sentence. His hands were tightly clenched into fists.
Colin Herbert frowned.
“What nonsense are you spouting? Who’s chasing who? I’m chasing her away? Did you take the wrong medicine?”
He looked baffled.
Melody finally understood why David Marrow was suddenly so agitated.
She gently pressed Colin Herbert’s arm, indicating for him to calm down. Then, she looked up at David Marrow.
“David Marrow, you’ve misunderstood. Uncle Colin doesn’t want to chase me away.”
“Is, is that so? Then what does Master want to say by calling everyone here?”
“You’ll know when he’s done. From now on, calm down.” “…Yes.”
Seeing that David Marrow had quieted down, Melody Fox said to Colin Herbert, “Uncle Colin, continue. There must be something wrong with this kid today. Don’t lower yourself to his level.”
David Marrow had always been lacking in the ways of the world. He was kind-hearted, but he was too simple-minded and seemed a little stupid.
Colin Herbert also knew who David Marrow was, so he did not want to pursue the matter and interrupted him several times.
He glanced at David Marrow and continued, “Then let’s continue…”
When everyone heard that Colin Herbert did not intend to chase Melody Fox away, they calmed down and listened attentively to Colin Herbert.
“I just said that I have something to inform everyone. This notice is… from now on, Meldoy will take over Herbathrive matters, no matter how big or small. You don’t have to ask for my opinion anymore.
Everyone was stunned.
“What does that mean?”
“Boss, are you not going to care about Herbathrive anymore?”
David Marrow asked in extreme shock, “Master, where are you going? What do you mean by letting Miss Fox take over?” Colin Herbert took a deep breath and explained, “Beverly Herbert’s surgery was very successful. She was doing fine during her recovery period. She told me that she had a wish to travel the world. Therefore, I plan to give Herbathrive to Melody and accompany her to travel the world.
From now on, Melody was no longer the escrow of Herbathrive, but Herbathrive’s legitimate boss. You all had to do things according to her words…
“However, judging from your reaction just now, I won’t have to worry about it. You’ll listen to her.”
“So…” David Marrow asked awkwardly, “You never intended to chase Miss Fox away. Instead, you wanted to give Herbathrive to her directly?”
“Nonsense! Am I, Colin Herbert, the kind of person who abandons her after I’ve outlived her usefulness?”
“Of, of course not…” David Marrow was ashamed. He glared at those who had misled him.
Everyone glared at him as if it had nothing to do with them. They were just guessing… Who would have thought that when Mr. Herbert talked about Miss Melody he stopped Mr. Herbert from continuing several times.
Miss Melody shook her head and stopped him, she was actually just rejecting Mr. Herbert’s offer to give Herbathrive to her?
When Colin Herbert saw this, he shook his head helplessly.
However, there was also a sense of relief amidst his helplessness.
Since Melody had won the hearts of Herbathrive’s men, he and Beverly Herbert could leave and travel without worry.
“One more thing… Melody, let’s talk in the backyard.” “Okay.”
