Chapter 806

Ken Swanson had actually wanted to ask about her face for a long time.

However, girls cared more about their looks than boys. He was afraid that his words would be inappropriate and cause Melody to misunderstand, so he did not dare to mention it.

Now that Melody took the initiative to talk about this, he immediately said seriously, “Tell me that guy’s name who poisoned you and I’ll send someone to capture him immediately.”

Melody widened her eyes and subconsciously covered Ken Swanson’s mouth.

“Don’t say that again!”

Ken Swanson was confused by her reaction.

“What do you mean? That person poisoned you. Why are you still…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Ken Swanson suddenly realized something.

His eyelids twitched. “You told me before that you learned your medical skills from your master. Could this poison be…?

Melody did not want to hide this matter from Ken Swanson. Other than her master’s identity, she could tell Ken Swanson these things.

She nodded and said, “Yes, it was my master who poisoned me. He poisoned me at a very young age.”

Ken Swanson slowly frowned. There were ten thousand question marks in his mind.

“From the looks of it, your master must have treated you well. But why did he poison you?”

Melody Fox lowered her eyes and said, “I’m not sure what Master was thinking exactly, but he said that he did this for my own good. When I have the ability to detoxify the poison one day, it means that I have the ability to protect myself. Only then can I show my true appearance and not be harmed.”

Ken Swanson was getting more and more confused.

“Why are you hurt by others when you show your true appearance? In this world, most people show their true appearance, right? Only a small number of people who, have made a huge mistake or have ulterior motives will wear a fake mask and not dare to show their true appearance.

Melody smiled and said, “You’ll know the reason when I get rid of the poison.”

In her previous life, she did not understand why her master said that, but before she died, she saw her true appearance and understood.

Her appearance was both a blessing and a curse. A woman whose beauty and ability did not match would indeed bring disaster.

However, what happened in her previous life was like a dream. It became more and more distant, making her forget what her true appearance was like.

However, she remembered that she was also shocked when she saw herself.

“Alright!” Ken Swanson spread out his hands and said, ” When the day comes, I’ll accompany you to Insterimond. It just so happens that I need to go to Insterimond’s branch company to take a look at the situation.”

“Alright, let’s go together!”

“Yes, where are you going? I’ll take you there. I’ll be your driver today.”

“To Herbathrive. By the way… why are you suddenly free to come over? I called you, and your subordinates said that you were in a meeting.”

“I finished the meeting not long after you finished calling.” Ken Swanson stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Herbathrive. He said, “I have a few construction sites to take a look at. One of them happens to be on the way, so I came to see you.”

Although it was called a construction site, his subordinates had actually found a few suitable venues for their wedding.

It just so happened that Ramon Swanson had taken over his position recently. All the projects in his hands had been handed over to Ramon Swanson himself. He was free now and could have enough time to do these things.

However, he wanted to give Melody Fox a surprise, so he deliberately said that he wanted to check the construction site.

Melody Fox did not doubt Ken Swanson’s words and said, Then drive quickly so as not to delay your business.”

“There’s no hurry. we have plenty of time left.”

Ken Swanson paused for a moment and started talking about today’s meeting.

When she heard that Ramon Swanson had taken back almost all the major projects, Melody was stunned. After a while, she asked, “How old is your father this year?”

“He married late. He’s fifty-nine this year. He’ll be sixty in a few months.”

Melody was even more shocked.

“The Swanson Group doesn’t have any small projects. He’s already so old, yet he’s still carrying so much work alone. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll tire himself out?”

“Yes,” Ken Swanson said firmly. “With his physical condition, he won’t be able to last long.”

“Then why is he still…-“

Melody’s voice stopped abruptly. She thought about what had happened last night.

“It’s because of what happened last night that he’s wary of you and Ulric Swanson. Is he planning to hold on to his power more tightly?”

“Yes, I’ve mentioned it to you before. He’s too career-minded. His thoughts are like those of an ancient emperor. He’s afraid that his two sons will snatch his power.

Therefore, under his impulse, he held today’s meeting and made a big move to the headquarters.”

Melody shook her head and said, “Doesn’t he think about how old he is this year? This kind of high-intensity work, at his age, will only collapse his body.”

Ken Swanson smiled gently and said, “It’s precisely because he’s too strong-willed that he’s unwilling to admit the fact that he’s already old. He even thinks that he’s in his prime.”

Melody did not know Ramon Swanson’s age, but Ramon Swanson looked younger, so she had always thought that Ramon Swanson should be about 50 years old this year.

Unexpectedly, he was about to turn 60.

“One still has to submit to old age. Otherwise, one will soon receive a warning from the body.”

Melody sighed as a doctor, but she quickly stood in the position of Ken Swanson’s wife and thought about things.

“Did you think of a way to deal with him?”

“We wait.”

“Yes?”

Ken Swanson looked at her and said, “It’s just as you said. When one is old, one has to submit to old age. Under such heavy pressure, even I would be tired, let alone him. When he can’t hold on anymore, it will be best for you to control the Swanson Group’s real power. During this period, what we have to do is to take the opportunity to completely suppress Ulric Swanson and make him choose to help you take over.”

“Then James Deeds has to speed up. And Jennie Taylor…”

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of Herbathrive.

Melody was about to get off when Ken Swanson suddenly received a call from James Deeds.

Melody paused in the act of opening the car door and slowly retracted her hand.

After the call ended, Melody hurriedly asked, “Have you found the clues for the youth center?”

Ken Swanson shook his head and said, “Do you still remember the emerald stone that the old man gave you?”

“Of course, there’s a Gu worm inside…”

Speaking of this, Melody’s eyelids twitched. She asked, ” Have you found out the origin of that Gu worm?”

“Yes, he’s from a branch of the Swanson family. The old man’s name is Li Ming. He’s the old man’s brother. He lives in the Swanson family’s old residence in Insterimond. That Gu worm is here for the old man.”

Melody Fox had heard Li Ming’s name from Ulric Swanson in her previous life.

Because Old Master Li finally handed over the inheritance to Ramon Swanson, the two brothers did not interact much from then on.

All these years, Li Ming’s family had been living off the Swanson Group shares and dividends.

They had thought that their faction would obediently take the dividends, but they did not expect that they had been harboring evil intentions in the dark.
