Chapter 876
“Miss Fox… Sir?”
Spencer saw that Ken Swanson was also there. After being surprised for a moment, she felt relieved.
Mister’s presence meant that Miss Fox didn’t need him to take care of her anymore. It seemed like he could sleep well tonight.
“Where’s my stuff?”
Spencer quickly came back to his senses and handed a list to Melody Fox.
“This is the list you wanted. However, not everyone on the list will be present. I drew the red circle because it’s confirmed that they will be present.”
Melody Fox nodded slightly and asked, “Are you the only one back? Where’s Aaron Berg?”
“Brother Aaron Berg is still busy, but he will definitely be back before the auction starts tomorrow.”
“I understand. You’ve worked hard. Go back and rest.”
“Miss Fox, you’re welcome. This is what I should do,” Spencer said. He did not dare to disturb Ken Swanson and Melody Fox anymore. After leaving, he closed the door for them. Melody Fox met Ken Swanson’s questioning gaze and explained, “For this trip to Insterimond, I think Ruby Taylor’s performance is a little strange. However, it’s possible that I’m overthinking. However, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I plan to prepare for the worst.” “Are you planning to know yourself and your enemy?” Melody Fox nodded.
Ken Swanson moved his hand away from the keyboard and waved at her, saying, “Come, let me help you take a look at who might be competing with you for the Green Velvet herbs. Most of the people participating in the auction this time should be from Insterimond. You might not know some of them.” Melody Fox wanted to say that Ken Swanson was worrying too much. In her previous life, in order to help Ulric Swanson fight for the inheritance, she had gotten to know many people in Insterimond’s upper-class circle.
Just now, she had also roughly glanced at the name list. Among them were several people who she had roped in Ken Swanson in her previous life.
Perhaps she could take this opportunity to make these people submit to Ken Swanson in this life.
However, her rebirth was a secret that only she knew, so she could only cooperate with Ken Swanson and hand the list to him.
Unexpectedly, after Ken Swanson took the name list and looked at it, his gaze landed on a name.
Melody Fox asked in confusion, “Did you see someone’s name?”
Ken Swanson pointed at the two words “Jian Huan” on the list. He looked at her and said, “We seem to be fated with this Jian Huan.”
Melody Fox saw that Jian Huan was on the list and her name was circled, proving that she would definitely come tomorrow.
Melody Fox was not surprised by this. Instead, she was even more certain of her guess.
“Jian Huan is indeed sick.”
“Yes?”
Melody Fox suddenly said this. At first glance, Ken Swanson thought that she was cursing.
Just as he was about to ask, Melody Fox said again, Because I didn’t take her pulse and she had put on makeup when I saw her, I’m actually not confident that she’s sick. But seeing that she’ll come, I’m completely sure now.”
“Why?”
“Because the Green Velvet herbs have worked wonders on her illness. She wants the green velvet herbs more than I do.”
Ken Swanson finally could not help but ask, “What illness does she have?”
Melody Fox whispered a few words into Ken Swanson’s ear. Ken Swanson’s expression changed. He suddenly smiled and said, “No wonder you said that she must not be sincere to Minghao Tian.”
“Yeah.
“But in this way, wouldn’t you have another competitor? After all, to her, Green Velvet herbs are equivalent to her life-saving elixir.”
“We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. There’s always a way.”
Just before the two of them fell asleep, Aaron Berg returned.
He was afraid of disturbing Ken Swanson and Melody Fox, so he chose to send a message to Melody Fox.
The content of the message confirmed Melody Fox’s guess. “In the past, it had nothing to do with Ruby Taylor. Now, there’s only one place that I’ve suddenly come into contact with frequently, and that’s the Murphy family. Moreover, I’ve investigated. A property that was originally under the name of the Murphy family people suddenly changed its property rights. Now, the owner of the property rights is Mr. Lou.
After reading it, Melody Fox’s eyes darkened even more. the Murphy family was really aggressive…
No wonder Ruby Taylor’s attitude became so abnormal when she saw her this time.
Jian Huan had already decided on Green Velvet herbs, and the couple obviously knew about it.
However, since they already knew, they did not reveal a single word to her. She could not help but feel disappointed, as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest.
Right at this moment, Ken Swanson received a call. “Alright, I understand.”
He hung up and looked at Melody Fox. “I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
“Hmm… Good news, I guess.”
“The good news is that I helped you find the person who won the Green Velvet herbs at the auction last time. And the Green Velvet herbs in his hand haven’t been used yet.”
Melody Fox tons Fox’s eyes lit up.
“No wonder you’ve been calling from the balcony since you read the list.”
“Can I really leave you to deal with this alone?”
Melody Fox was about to laugh, but when he thought of what Ken Swanson had just said, he immediately turned serious and asked, “What about the bad news?”
“The bad news is that his wife has just fallen seriously ill and needs Green Velvet herbs. I’ve asked someone to negotiate with him. If we can cure her, he’ll give us the Green Velvet herbs as a consultation fee.”
Melody Fox understood.
“You want me to treat his wife in exchange for the Green Velvet herbs in his hands.”
“Right.”
“That’s not a problem. If I really can’t get the Green Velvet herbs at the auction tomorrow, I can still find this gentleman. But don’t worry, if I successfully get the Green Velvet herbs tomorrow, I’ll help his wife take a look.”
“Yes, I knew you were kind, so I’ve already reached a consensus with him. Besides, they’re in their hometown. now. They can only return to Room Insterimond the day after tomorrow. It won’t delay the auction’s time.” “Sure.”
Melody Fox heaved a sigh of relief. His anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
However, when she thought about how Ruby Taylor, who had always been kind and warm to her, had lied to her, she could not feel better.
This feeling of being deceived and even betrayed was really very uncomfortable.
For the entire night, Melody Fox tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Ken Swanson turned sideways and hugged her tightly. He patted her back gently and coaxed her to sleep as if he was coaxing a child. Only then did Melody Fox slowly fall asleep.
However, in a daze, she suddenly felt as if her soul had been pulled out of her body.
When she opened her eyes, she actually returned to the operating table before she died in her previous life.
Similar to her previous dreams, her body became transparent and floated in the air.
Under her was Mabel Fox & Yolanda Fox- the mother and daughter. Meanwhile, Ulric Swanson was standing expressionlessly at the entrance of the operating theater.
What was going on? Was she dreaming again?
Coincidentally, the door of the operating theater was suddenly kicked open by someone outside.
An extremely familiar face entered Melody Fox’s sight. Ken Swanson!
It was him again.
The last time he dreamed, he also appeared in this scene. Just like in the previous dream, Ken Swanson’s face was gloomy and his entire body was filled with dissatisfaction. He kicked Ulric Swanson, who was standing in front of him, and took out a pistol from his pocket. He aimed it at Mabel Fox’s forehead.
