Chapter 824
However, when Melody and the others walked out of the living room, their gazes happened to sweep over.
When she saw Quentin Parker and James Deeds walking out together, she felt a faint sense of doubt in her heart.
‘What happened?’
‘Where are they going?”
Coincidentally, Nickolas Chapman and the others bade farewell. Melody quickly came back to her senses and smiled. “Thank you for coming to support us today. Please be careful on the way.”
Nickolas Chapman was clearly a little drunk. He waved his hand and said, “What are you thanking me for? I should thank you for despising this old man for coming uninvited!”
Today, Melody did not inform him and Samuel Grover. He only called Yannick Frost.
Coincidentally, they thought that with Yannick Frost being invited, so they followed Yannick Frost.
“Why would I despise you? It’s my honor to have you here.”
After another round, the three of them finally walked out of the door.
Melody was just about to inform Colin Herbert and the others that she was going to ask her master about the situation when she saw Nickolas Chapman turn back and say with a troubled expression, “Melody, can you do me a favor when you’re free?”
“Of course, as long as I can help, I will definitely help.”
Nickolas Chapman sighed and said, “You’re friends with my useless grandson, Warner Chapman. I want you to help me persuade him to stop working in those unknown small companies and quickly come back to inherit my mantle.”
Melody knew that Warner Chapman was now working for Ximber Tech.
The “unknown small company” that Mr. Nickolas Chapman was talking about was indeed Ximber Tech.
She smiled awkwardly and said seriously, “Mr. Nickolas Chapman. I know the company he works for. This company’s development prospects are very good. You’re still so healthy. Why don’t we let him wander outside for a while more? Maybe he’ll really make a name for himself?”
Nickolas Chapman believed Melody’s words without a doubt.
“Alright, since you said that the development prospects are good I believe you, I’ll go back first. Remember to come to our house another day.”
“Alright, take care.”
After finally sending Nickolas Chapman away, she could not be bothered to greet Colin Herbert anymore. she took out her phone and dialed Ken Swanson’s number while walking down the stairs from the emergency exit.
However, no one picked up.
She could not help but have a bad premonition and quickly quickened her pace downstairs.
In the living room.
Most of the guests had already dispersed.
Only Ander Morgan and Colin Herbert were still sitting at the table and talking.
They chatted about Melody Fox, to Herbathrive, from Herbathrive to traditional medicine, and finally to the Halcyon Research Institute where Ander Morgan worked. Needless to say, they hit it off very well.
It was not until Zoe Morgan walked over to remind Ander Morgan that Ander Morgan remembered to get up and leave.
However, before he was about to leave, he was careful. He pulled Colin Herbert, who he hit it off with, over and quietly asked him what had happened to Melody and Russell Fox.
Colin Herbert’s smile disappeared. He was not afraid to let Ander Morgan know the truth. He first told him that Russell Fox had asked him to write Russell Fox’s name on his assets in the elevator. Then, he repeated Russell Fox’s nasty words.
When Colin Herbert finished speaking, Ander Morgan’s gaze turned cold.
He had heard a rumor about the Fox family before and had seen with his own eyes how biased Russell Fox was towards his two daughters.
However, she did not expect Russell Fox to be so biased. He was so dirty that he even wanted to snatch his daughter’s things.
“Ridiculous! I’ve never seen such a shameless person!” Ander Morgan scolded indignantly.
Colin Herbert sighed.
“Sigh, who said that? My heart aches for Melody from the bottom of my heart.”
Ander Morgan patted Colin Herbert’s shoulder and said, “Don’t be afraid. In the future, you and I will pamper Melody. Let’s see who still dares to bully her! Not even Russell Fox!”
Colin Herbert nodded and started talking about how he was going to travel around the world with his wife soon.
“After we leave, if anything happens to Melody, I’ll have to trouble the two of you to look after Melody.”
“What are you saying? Melody is my goddaughter now. If we don’t take care of her, who should we take care of?”
Colin Herbert was relieved.
He knew that Ander Morgan’s status in Halcyon was much higher than his.
With such a person protecting Melody, the couple could also choose the day to set off and prepare to leave Silverlake.
Downstairs, Melody called out the bodyguards who were guarding in the dark. After asking around, she finally found Ken Swanson, who had just exited the bathroom.
When their eyes met, Melody could tell at a glance that he had drunk too much.
However, even at this hour, Ken Swanson’s rationality was not drowned by drunkenness. He walked towards her with bright eyes. and asked as if nothing had happened, “Have all the guests upstairs left?”
“They’ve basically all been sent away. Only Herbathrive is still here.”
As Melody Fox spoke, she looked around. Seeing that there was no sign of James Deeds, she asked in confusion, “Where’s James Deeds? Why don’t I see him? And Aaron Berg, where did they go?”
For some reason, she felt uneasy when she didn’t see them.
Only then did Ken Swanson remember James Deeds. He glanced around and did not find James Deeds either. He was a little puzzled.
It was James Deeds who helped him down just now. Why was there no one now?
“Men!”
Soon, Death Warrior people walked forward.
“What can I do for you, sir?”
“What about James Deeds and Aaron Berg?”
Death Warrior’s eyes narrowed slightly. He lowered his head nervously and stammered, “This, this…”
Ken Swanson noticed something amiss and his gaze quickly turned cold.
“Make yourself clear!”
Death Warrior shuddered. He gritted his teeth and said, “Brother James & Aaron brought Doctor Mu to the car outside.”
Melody was shocked and ran out.
James Deeds: The Brainless One. Her expression at the banquet was not right. Could it be that he did something to her master?!
Moreover, looking at the situation, Ken Swanson did not know either.. Without Ken Swanson watching over him, his master’s safety was even more uncertain.
“Melody, wait for me!”
Ken Swanson also quickened his pace. After using his gaze to order Death Warriors to lead the way, he quickly grabbed Melody Fox’s hand and walked towards the parking lot.
The hotel parking lot was behind the hotel.
The guests had already left in their cars, so there were not many cars parked in the parking lot.
They quickly locked onto a seven-seater MPV with its headlights on.
Ken Swanson’s long legs moved quickly. He reached the car faster than Melody Fox and opened the door.
In the car.
Quentin Parker was tied up with ropes and had a piece of cotton cloth stuffed into his mouth.
James Deeds and Aaron Berg were sitting opposite Quentin Parker as if they were interrogating him.
Seeing the car door suddenly open, everyone in the car subconsciously looked out of the car.
When he saw Ken Swanson’s cold face, James Deeds’s heart skipped a beat and his legs almost went weak from fear.
“Young… Young Master?”
However, in the next second, James Deeds calmed down and reported to Ken Swanson, “Young Master, I didn’t have a chance to tell you at the banquet. There’s something wrong with this guy. His identity is fake!”
