Chapter 832
Melody Fox wasn’t too sure about the gossip, so she asked, “What did they talk about? Didn’t the obituary state clearly that she died in a car accident? Would they still suspect the cause of her death?”
“These words can fool ordinary people, but they can’t fool some old foxes. My father told me that some of his business partners guessed that Ramon Swanson had someone outside, so they deliberately plotted for Astrid Swanson to die in an accident.”
As Nana Jensen spoke, she asked in a gossipy manner, “Sister Melody, can you tell me quietly if this rumor is true?”
Melody Fox said with some amusement, “Let me put it this way. If you were Ramon Swanson, would you take such a huge risk to kill your wife for a woman?”
“Of course not!” Nana Jensen answered without thinking.
How many people dreamed of becoming Ramon Swanson? The wealth he had was already beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Only a fool would risk losing everything for a woman!
However, Nana Jensen immediately understood that Melody Fox meant that this rumor was fake.
Melody said, “Ramon Swanson is my father-in-law. It’s not appropriate for me to discuss him in private. You figured this out yourself. I didn’t tell you.”
Nana Jensen nodded repeatedly. “Understood!”
“Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore. Give me a hand and wash the mutton belly together.”
“Here they come!”
After about a few hours, the materials were finally ready.
Nana Jensen also called David Marrow over and set up an oven in the backyard.
Before long, the fragrant smell made the patient in front drool.
“What’s that smell? It smells so good…”
Herbathrive said proudly, “Doctor Fox is cooking.”
“Tsk tsk, you guys are too lucky. The food is so good.”
There were also people who asked about the raviola pasta.
“Don’t you guys do pasta anymore?”
“Well…” The staff kept them in suspense. “You’ll know when it’s about time But don’t worry, in less than a month, all of you will be able to eat pasta. Eat as much as you want.”
“Are you serious?”
“Cough, cough!” A cough sounded.
The waiter looked up and met David Marrow’s warning gaze.
Manton lowered his head and he quickly sorted out the herbs and handed it to the patient.
After the patient left, David Marrow took a few steps forward and said, “Don’t tell anyone about Miss Fox’s plan.”
“Yes, Brother David… I know I was wrong.”
“Alright, alright.” David Marrow waved his hand and said, “I’m not blaming you. I’m just reminding you. There are many people out there eyeing Miss Fox. We shouldn’t cause trouble for Fox.”
“Yes…”
“By the way, I’m here to ask you to tell the others to close the clinic’s door after receiving this batch of guests. Everyone, send Master and Master’s wife off.”
“Yes!”
David Marrow was about to head to the backyard when he turned around and saw Doctor Mu walking out.
He quickly chased after him and asked, “Doctor Mu, where are you going? Dinner is about to start.”
“I have to go out for an urgent matter. Apologize to Mr. Herbert for me. I don’t have time to send him off.”
“… Okay.”
As soon as David Marrow finished speaking, Doctor Mu had already left.
David Marrow scratched his head in confusion. Then, he returned to the backyard and told Melody Fox about this.
Melody Fox’s hand was sprinkled with salt and pepper on the lamb chop paused, and a dark glint flashed across her eyes.
However, in less than two seconds, her expression quickly returned to normal. Her hands did not stop moving as she said, “I understand.
Go and see how the lamb leg is roasting. Don’t burn it.”
“Good!”
As soon as David Marrow left, Melody called Quentin.
“Master, where have you been? Do you need my help?”
“There’s no need.” Quentin Parker paused for a moment before explaining to her, “Special Task Force’s people discovered that Michael Hudson is contacting Jennie Taylor. I have to go over and discuss with them if we should take this opportunity to catch them all.”
“I understand. Call me if you need anything from me.”
Quentin Parker hurriedly replied and hung up.
Melody hesitated for a moment but still relayed the news to Ken Swanson. Unexpectedly, Ken Swanson already knew about this and said, “I asked someone to specially inform the Special Task Force.”
“Then do you think we can catch them all this time?”
“Difficult.”
Melody asked in confusion, “Then what’s the point of you telling them the news?”
“Ulric Swanson was also present,” Ken Swanson said meaningfully.
Melody immediately understood what Ken Swanson meant.
They wanted the Special Task Force to target Ulric Swanson as well. From now on, other than them, there will be more officials dealing with Ulric Swanson.
Last time, Ulric Swanson was able to escape unscathed from the bureau because Ramon Swanson had made a move. The officials had to give Ramon Swanson some face.
Secondly, Jennie Taylor’s daughter had died in the Special Task Force. The officials did not even have the time to let her explain the relationship between Ulric Swanson and malicious doctors.
However, with today’s incident, the Special Task Force would probably place Ulric Swanson as the main suspect again.
However, her master had probably made a wasted trip today.
Melody felt a little guilty. She always felt like she had betrayed her master.
Right at this moment, David Marrow’s voice came from outside. “It’s cooked! The fire is just right!”
Melody snapped out of her thoughts and walked out with two plates of salted lamb chops.
Two large round tables had already been set up in the backyard. The tables were filled with more than ten dishes, all of which were made by her.
The roasted lamb leg in the outdoor oven was emitting an alluring fragrance.
Melody said, “David Marrow, call everyone over. We can eat now. I’ll call my godparents.”
“Okay.”
The Colin Herbert couple were saying goodbye to their neighbors, who were reluctant to part with them when Melody found them in the neighborhood.
“It’s not like our own place when we’re outside. We have to prioritize safety and not get into any conflicts with others. After all, it’s not our territory.”
Colin Herbert did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“Don’t worry! The two of us are almost 50 years old. Can we still quarrel with others like the young people do?”
Melody took the opportunity to walk forward and remind them, “Godparents, it’s time to eat.”
“Oh, okay. We’ll be right there.”
After saying goodbye, Colin Herbert started to worry about Melody again.
“When we leave, you have to take good care of yourself. If you can’t contact us with your cell phone number, email me. I’ll open the email every three days.”
“Got it, Godfather. Don’t worry about me. I made a lot of dishes. If I don’t eat now, they’ll get cold.”
Colin Herbert nodded and pulled Beverly Herbert back to the backyard.
Perhaps it was because delicious food would make people happy. After a few mouthfuls of mutton, the two of them were not as depressed as before. A smile gradually appeared on their faces.
At most, if they really wanted to come back, they would come back!
The sun rose higher and higher, and the minutes of parting finally arrived.
Melody Fox was afraid that Herbathrive’s men would urge Beverly Herbert to cry again, so he specially discussed with Colin Herbert and went out through the back door of the backyard. However, as soon as the car started, everyone appeared beside the car.
