Chapter 857
“There’s a problem? What do you mean?” After a pause, Ken Swanson added, “I’ll listen to everything you say.”
“Stop, let’s get down to business. Don’t play this trick on me. I won’t fall for it.”
Melody Fox pursed her lips. Ken Swanson quickly returned to the main topic.
“What do you think is wrong with her?”
Melody Fox did not answer immediately. She only asked, ” Did you notice anything different about her?”
Ken Swanson thought about it seriously and said, “No, her eating habits are about the same. She likes to eat Mango very much. This hobby is known to all the international students we play with. There were Mango fruits tonight. She finished them all alone.”
“All of it? How much is it?”
“They were peeled and cut into pieces. There are probably five or six Mango fruits in total.”
“Five or six Mango?” Melody Fox raised his eyebrows and reminded Ken Swanson, “She has a different identity now. If she wants to eat Mango, she can eat it every day. She won’ t have to eat so much fruit at such a formal dinner. Moreover, it’s almost the end of the dinner. The sugar content of mango is high. If she still eats so much mango after dinner, she will be bloated.”
Ken Swanson suddenly raised his eyelids.
“Are you suspecting… that she’s not Mango?”
Melody Fox nodded and said, “We can’t rule out this possibility. Otherwise, it’s really too strange. How could a person who is already dead appear alive? And even if she was lucky enough to survive, shouldn’t the first thing she do is take revenge? If I were her, the first thing I would say when I see you would definitely be to reveal Janet Murphy’s true colors, not say that I’m sick or something like that.”
After saying that, Melody Fox noticed the doubt in Ken
Swanson’s eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he repeated what Nana Jensen had told her.
Ken Swanson’s expression turned cold and solemn at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“Janet Murphy… pushed her down the back mountain? Are you sure Nana Jensen isn’t lying to you?”
“I’m sure. Nana Jensen is no longer the Nana Jensen of the past. She is a person who experieence how to lost everything and has nowhere to go. As the person who took her in, there’s really no need for her to take such a huge risk to lie to me.”
Ken Swanson tightened his grip on the photo. Veins were bulging on the back of his hand.
“What you mean is that someone deliberately asked her to pretend to be Mango to get close to me. They used Mango to sow discord between us. That’s why this happened. The photo was sent to you. And this person is very likely to be related to Ulric Swanson. It might even be him.”
“I’m not sure who’s behind this, just like you. But there’s something in the world called facial masks. This is what my master has on his face. You’ve seen it with your own eyes.”
Ken Swanson thought of Quentin Parker’s human face mask and nodded with a serious expression. “Indeed. If it weren’t for your master’s strange performance and you personally introducing him to me, I wouldn’t have been able to confirm his identity until now. Because the human face mask on his face is simply too perfect. No one can tell that there’s anything wrong.”
“Therefore, I suspect that the Miss Ruan you saw tonight also has a mask on her face.”
Ken Swanson’s expression was extremely ugly.
At the thought that the person whom he helped tonight might be a man, he felt so disgusted that his hair stood on end.
Melody Fox guessed that Ken Swanson had thought of something. He snorted and said, “Don’t worry. Even if you use a human face and fake skin, you won’t find a man. The difference between a man and a woman is too big. It’s easy to reveal flaws.”
“It’s still gross.”
He treated Mango as his sister, which was why he was willing to send her home and help her when she was about to fall.
If it were any other woman, she would be no different from a man to him. They were both very disgusting.
Melody Fox shrugged. Ken Swanson said again, “Now that you mention it, I remember something strange.”
“What is it?”
“Mango has a slight case of night blindness, but she saw it clearly when I walked her to the hotel where she was staying. It wasn’t easy to park in that hotel. We walked through the alley at the back door. That’s the reason I walked her to the hotel entrance. But I thought she was ok so I didn’t think much of it. Now that you mention it, I remember.”
The two of them looked at each other and were almost completely sure that Mango was an imposter.
Ken Swanson took out his phone and said as he searched for her contact list, “I’ll get James Deeds to find out who she is.”
“Don’t.” Melody Fox quickly pressed down on Ken Swanson’s hand and said, “Since we’ve confirmed that Mandy Spence is fake tonight, it’s now our turn to be in the dark and the enemy is in the light. I’m afraid that you’ll alert the enemy if you investigate like this. Ulric Swanson definitely can’t escape, but Ulric Swanson and Mango have never interacted with each other before. It’s impossible for them to know so many details. Therefore, I suspect that there’s someone else behind this.”
“Then according to your thoughts, how do you think we can find the snake behind us?”
“Of course, he will only jump out when the snake sees what he wants.” Melody Fox winked slyly and said, “From tomorrow morning onwards, let’s pretend to be husband and wife who are fighting. Oh no, we should start tonight.
You can sleep in the study tonight.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Melody Fox was suddenly picked up by Ken Swanson.
“Ah…-” She exclaimed and quickly lowered her voice. “What are you doing?!”
Ken Swanson carried her to the bed and said, “I can sleep in the study, but before that, I have to collect some interest.”
With that, Melody Fox was placed on the big bed by Ken Swanson.
She was wearing a nightdress, so it was even more convenient for Ken Swanson to reach under her dress. As he moved, it was as if an electric current passed through her body, and she became dizzy.
“Don’t… You have to wake up early tomorrow.”
Embarrassed and angry, she grabbed his hand forcefully. As she stopped him from “exploring the secret”, she said, ” If this continues, I won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”
“It’s fine if we can’t get up. We won’t take a passenger plane. We can still catch a flight by using a private plane. Moreover, the auction is in the morning the day after tomorrow. It’s fine even if we go to Insterimond at night.”
“No… Stop fooling around!”
“That won’t do. You scared the hell out of me tonight.”
With that, his thin lips kissed hers, not giving her a chance to speak.
“Ugh…”
Melody Fox could not stand the kiss and wanted to turn her head away to avoid it.
However, how could Ken Swanson give her a chance to escape?
He straightened her head and kissed her again.
At the same time, he quickly took off his clothes.
In less than a moment, the two of them were honest with each other.
Melody Fox knew that he could not escape tonight. He could only take a step back and say, “Then turn off the lights…”
