Chapter 885

Melody Fox knew that Ken Swanson placed Seventeen next to Sid Quant only temporarily. It was to make it easier for him to keep an eye on Sid Quant so that he would not overwork himself.

Therefore, after seeing the message, Melody Fox directly ignored it.

However, more than ten minutes later, Sid Quant called.

She hung up on the first call, but then Sid Quant called again.

Helpless, Melody Fox could only answer the call. “Hello?”

Sid Quant went straight to the point and questioned, “Didn’t you see the message I sent you?!”

“…I saw it.”

“Why didn’t you reply to my message when you saw it?” Sid Quant was even angrier.

Melody Fox said calmly, “I’m going back.”

Sid Quant was stunned and asked, “What did you reply? Why didn’t I see it?”

“I’m back. Silence.”

Silence.

After a few seconds, Sid Quant found his voice. “Melody Fox, you’re really something. Good, you’re good. When you come back, you’re dead!”

“I look forward to it.”

With that, she hung up the phone and blocked Sid Quant. How old was he? Why was he still acting like a child? However, if she could not save Sid Quant’s life in this life, she would probably feel very uncomfortable.

She would not let that happen.

Melody Fox thought for a moment and sent another message to Seventeen. “Keep an eye on Sid Quant. No matter how he treats you, as long as you’re still breathing, keep an eye on him.”

“Yes!” Seventeen quickly replied.

Only then did Melody Fox relax.

Coincidentally, the car stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Aaron Berg was already waiting at the entrance.

As soon as she came over, Aaron Berg immediately walked forward and said, “Sir has already arranged a stylist and makeup artist for you. They’re waiting for you in the hotel room.”

Melody Fox nodded and did not refuse. However, when she went upstairs, she declined the help of the makeup artist. She only trimmed her eyebrows and put on makeup.

After interacting with Ken Swanson today, her heart had become stronger than when she had just been reborn.

She could no longer be harmed by other people’s harsh words.

The makeup artist looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. She took her phone and went out.

It was obvious that Melody Fox felt that she could not complete her task, so she went to ask Ken Swanson.

Sure enough, not long after, the makeup artist returned. There was no hesitation on her face. She packed her makeup box and left respectfully.

After the group left, Melody Fox calmly looked at herself in the mirror.

She was wearing a lady’s suit that she had chosen in the morning. It was from a certain luxury brand’s Spring and Autumn series. Her hair was only tied up in a ponytail, but the stylist had specially given her a full diamond hair clip, making her look lazy and noble.

However, the red spots on her face still ruined her appearance.

Through the mirror, Melody Fox could see that Aaron Berg also looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated. It was as if he hoped that he could put on makeup to hide the red spots on her face so that she would not be attacked at the auction.

But if you don’t care, who can attack you?

Melody Fox looked away from the mirror and turned to ask Aaron Berg, “How long until the auction starts?”

“And 7 PM sharp.”

“Then we can enter now. Let’s go.”

Melody Fox stood up and dialed Ruby Taylor’s number as she walked out.

Meanwhile, at the Taylor residence…

Ruby Taylor knelt on the ground and kept begging Chairman Lou.

“Dad, even if you don’t give me face, please give the child in my stomach face and let this auction proceed fairly! I’m not asking you to leave the Green Velvet to my friend. I just want you to be fair!”

Chairman Lou’s eyes were filled with anger.

“Ruby Taylor! Stand up! You’re pregnant now! If you get pregnant, I’ll get Mason Taylor to divorce you!”

Chairman Lou still had the same old thinking.

In his opinion, women should abide by the virtues of women and listen to the men at home. They should obey their fathers at home and their husbands when they get married.

Ruby Taylor was now kneeling and threatening him for an outsider, disregarding the child in his stomach. This had seriously crossed his bottom line.

Ruby Taylor had made up her mind.

“I won’t get up! As long as you don’t agree, I won’t get up! Speaking of which, without Melody, the child in my stomach wouldn’t exist at all. She was the one who cured my infertility. Can’t you give the Green Velvet herbs to her for the sake of the child in my stomach?”

“You…-you really want me to kick you out of the house?”

At that moment, the phone on the ground rang.

The screen displayed the words “Melody Fox”.

Ruby Taylor lowered her eyes and saw Melody Fox’s name displayed on the screen. She said even more firmly, “Please promise me!”

“You…!” Chairman Lou felt dizzy and almost fell.

The servants were quick to react and quickly went forward to support Old Master Lou Taylor.

Mrs. Lou Taylor, who had been silent on the side, couldn’t help but say, “Ruby don’t force us. We really have something difficult to say, so we had no choice but to do this. You came to threaten us for your friend. Are you really trying to force us to our deaths? Are the two of us inferior to your friend in your eyes?”

Ruby Taylor was stunned for a moment before asking, Mom, what do you mean?”

“Stop talking nonsense with her. Why are you telling her this? The auction is about to start. I’m going out. Stay at home and keep an eye on her. Don’t let her really do anything stupid!”

As Chairman Lou Taylor spoke, he turned around and left, but his footsteps were not as steady as before.

Lou Taylor noticed this and quickly held Mrs. Lou’s hand. “Mom… Tell me, what’s going on?”

Madam Lou shook her head and sighed.

“Sigh, your father and I originally planned to hide this from you and your husband. But now that you’re like this… I’d better tell you the truth in case you really do something stupid.”

Ruby Taylor was even more puzzled.

“What the hell is going on?”

“Your father is… sick, and so is your brother-in-law. His condition is worse than your father-in-law’s.”

Ruby Taylor suddenly realized that she had not seen Mason Taylor’s brother and sister-in-law on this trip.

The couple was not easy to get along with. Due to her ordinary family background, this sister-in-law would come and mock her every time she returned to the capital. She would say how lucky she was to marry into the Taylor family.

But this time, she didn’t even see their shadows, let alone mock her.

This was too unusual.

So he was sick?

Madam Lou continued, “Only the Murphy family can treat their illnesses. the Murphy family also agreed to treat them, but in exchange, the Green Velvet herbs at this auction have to be sold to the Murphy family.”

“The Murphy family…”

Ruby Taylor looked up and asked subconsciously, “Is it the Murphy family, who used to be on good terms with the Swanson family?”

“Yeah.”

“But I remember that they’re in venture capital, not a medical family.”

As soon as she asked the question, Ruby Taylor suddenly reacted.

The reason why the two of them were sick was very likely because of the Murphy family.
