Chapter 838

Seventeen were left with a belly full of resentment.

If he had known that he would have to follow that unreliable Mr. Quant, he would have rested for a few more days.

He was really unlucky today…

At the same time, Sid Quant, who had just returned home, suddenly sneezed. “Achoo…”

Who was scolding him?

But soon, Sid Quant didn’t care anymore because he had a party at home. In another two hours, he would be surrounded by a group of beauties.

Melody Fox said that after what happened last time, he was affected in some way, but he did not believe it.

When he tried masturbating while he was hospitalized and was verified in the ward, although it was indeed not good… Perhaps it would be fine if it was changed to a real person?

In short, it was impossible for him to accept that he was impotent at such a young age. They must be scaring him!

In the backyard, not long after Seventeen left, Ken Swanson also received a call from Ramon Swanson.

Ramon Swanson said concisely on the other end of the phone, “A few of Insterimond’s partners came to see me for dinner tonight. You’re the one who built the Swanson Group’s branch in Insterimond. You should know those groups of people. I’m in Lincheng now. I can’t make it before dinner. Take my place.”

With that, Ramon Swanson added, “I’m here because of your Aunt Astrid’s death. Just accept the gift and have a meal with them. The dinner is almost over. I should be almost done here. I’ll try my best to rush over.”

“I got it.”

“Yes, where are you? I’ll get my secretary to come over. You can go and buy a gift in advance.”

“At Herbathrive…”

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment before saying, “Okay, then wait for him at your place. I’ll get him to pick you up immediately.”

With that, Ramon Swanson ended the call.

Ken, while on the call with Ramon Swanson, had specially put him on speaker, so Melody Fox clearly heard what Ramon Swanson said.

He smiled apologetically and said, “I originally planned to eat with you at Herbathrive for dinner, but now it seems that I can’t.”

“It’s fine. Go do what you need to do. But… those people are here for the funeral. Why didn’t you let Ulric Swanson receive them? Ulric Swanson is Astrid Swanson’s biological son, isn’t he?”

Ken Swanson chuckled and explained, “Most of those people are related to the Hunter family. The old man is probably worried that Ulric Swanson will take the opportunity to talk about the real cause of Astrid Swanson’s death…”

“Understood.” Melody Fox was very happy for Ken Swanson. “If he’s so wary of Ulric Swanson, won’t it be very beneficial to us?”

Ken Swanson shook his head.

“Isn’t he guarding against me too?”

Melody finally remembered that Ken Swanson had been secretly demoted by Ramon Swanson at the Swanson Group headquarters.

She clicked her tongue and said, “Your father is really a fox who has cultivated for a thousand years. As long as he’s unwilling, no one can get any benefits from him. Even his body doesn’t know how long it can support his intense work.”

“Not long, I’m afraid.”

Ken Swanson’s tone was a little mocking.

He had never thought of holding the Swanson Group in his hands before because he disdained it. It was not until Ulric Swanson’s scheme approached that he made up his mind to take down the Swanson Group.

If he couldn’t get it in the end, he might as well destroy it so that Ulric Swanson couldn’t get it either.

However, the possibility was slim. He was confident that he could win against Ulric Swanson.

Before long, Ramon Swanson’s secretary arrived.

This secretary was very good at dealing with people. When she saw Melody Fox, he first greeted her respectfully before presenting her with a meeting gift.

Melody Fox looked at the packaging. It was a luxury brand. Judging from its size, it should be a bracelet or necklace.

The other party seemed to be afraid that she would not accept it. Before she could speak, he said, “This is the first time I’ve seen Mrs. Swanson. I thought that I had to bring you a gift no matter what. Mrs. Swanson, you must accept it.”

Melody Fox saw that Ken Swanson’s expression did not change, so she reached out to take it and thanked him with a smile.

“That’s very thoughtful of you. Thank you.”

“No, this is what I should do. It’s good that Mrs. Swanson doesn’t mind the cheapness of the gift.”

Ken Swanson said, “Go wait for me in the car first. I’ll be there in a while.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

The secretary nodded at Melody Fox and returned to the car.

Melody Fox glanced at the secretary’s back and asked in a low voice, “This shouldn’t be one of your people, right?”

Ken Swanson shook his head gently. “This is a smart person. He’s also trying to be nice to me, Fox. He’s also tried to extend an olive branch to Ulric Swanson. He’s probably afraid that one day when the old man retires, he’ll be marginalized by one of us.”

“Does your father know that he’s looking for a new home for himself so early in the morning?”

“Of course not. I just wanted to tell you that if he finds you again, don’t see him. Otherwise, if the old man finds out, he’ll be more suspicious of us.”

Melody Fox suddenly felt that the gift in her hand was a little hot.

“Should I return this gift to him?”

“Just keep it. He’s been with my father for so many years. It’s normal for him to give you a meeting gift. Just ignore him next time.”

“Alright, I’ll remember.”

“Okay, I’m leaving. I might be back late tonight. If you’re tired, go to sleep first. You don’t have to wait for me.”

“Got it. Bye!” Melody Fox waved at Ken Swanson and watched him get into the car. She only looked away when the car disappeared.

However, when she turned around, she met Quentin Parker’s gaze.

Melody Fox felt guilty for no reason. She felt like he had been caught in a puppy love relationship by his parents.

“Mas… Doctor Mu…”

Melody Fox walked over awkwardly.

Quentin snorted and said, “If you continue standing, I think you’re going to become a husband-gazing stone.”

Melody Fox was already embarrassed. When she heard this, her cheeks immediately turned red.

“Doctor Mu…”

“Alright, I think that kid is still sincere to you so far. It’s not bad to enjoy it. However, I still have to remind you that no matter how much you love someone, you have to leave some leeway for yourself in your heart. When he changes his mind one day, you won’t lose yourself because of this.”

What her master said was the same as what she thought.

However, she was still willing to believe that Ken Swanson was different from Ulric Swanson.

However, even though she thought so, she still nodded obediently. “I’ll remember.”

Quentin nodded and called her back to the backyard to talk.

Melody Fox knew that this was a serious matter, so he quickly followed Quentin Parker back to the backyard.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Quentin Parker went straight to the point. “I’ve worked for nothing today. I didn’t manage to catch Jennie Taylor, Michael Hudson, and the others in one fell swoop.”

Melody Fox knew that Quentin Parker would not gain anything from this trip, but he still followed Quentin Parker’s words and asked, “What happened?”

“They have too many spies. By the time our people arrived … they were already gone. However, it’s not completely useless.”

Quentin Parker pointed in the direction where Ken Swanson left and said, “His younger brother seems to be very close to Jennie Taylor.”

“That’s right. I’ve mentioned it to you before.

Jennie Taylor only dared to expand malicious doctors’s team because of him.”
