Chapter 887
However, the two of them walked around the entire auction venue and did not see Ruby.
Melody Fox could not help but worry even more for Ruby.
Fortunately, Aaron Berg was already on the way to Taylor’s residence. Aaron Berg should be able to bring her definite news.
Melody Fox thought for a moment and said to Spencer, “Go to your seat and wait for me. I’ll go to the ladies’ room to take a look. If there’s no one there, I’ll come back.”
No. Spencer, who was in the girl’s bathroom, could not follow her. He could only nod and say, “Alright, be careful. Brother Aaron Berg and I found a suspicious person wandering around the hotel last night.”
“Oh? Have you caught him?”
“Not yet… but it’s possible we’re being paranoid.”
“Alright, I understand. I’ll be careful. You also pay attention to the direction of the door. If you see Ruby, call me.”
“Yes!”
Melody Fox patted Spencer’s shoulder and walked towards the bathroom.
The bathroom here was still a distance away from the main venue. Melody Fox passed by a corridor and was surprised to hear a familiar voice.
“No, that’s impossible… Did the Mont family really give up on him?”
The Mont family…
Melody Fox stopped in her tracks and quickly retreated to the corner. He quietly looked in the direction of the voice. Jian Huan and a well-maintained middle-aged woman were standing opposite each other.
The woman looked a little similar to Jian Huan. The two of them seemed to be mother and daughter.
Melody Fox took out his phone and quietly clicked on the video.
The middle-aged woman sighed and said, “The main family has already investigated. Chairman Ming did adopt a son and has already completed the legal procedures. He has also announced that he has severed ties with Minghaotian.” “Then… will they still treat me? They originally wanted me to marry Minghao Tian. Now that Minghao Tian is crippled, will the main family not care about my life?”
“Of course not!” The middle-aged woman grabbed Jian Huan’s hand and said, “Even without Ming Haotian, there’s still his new son. I’ve already checked his information. His name is Ming Yiheng. He’s a hundred times better than Ming Haotian in all aspects.”
Jian Huan’s brows furrowed so tightly that the word Sichuan” appeared.
“But he will definitely know about my relationship with Minghao Tian. Will he still accept me?”
“Silly girl, no man can resist your charm. Moreover, Ming Yiheng’s life was very tough in the past. His horizons are much shallower than Ming Haotian’s. You can definitely do it.”
Jian Huan clenched her fists and said, “I understand…”
“Be good. I know you’re the most obedient. However, the most important thing now is to get the medicine and treat your illness. Otherwise, no man will be willing to take you. When the time comes, the main family will really abandon you.”
Jian Huan’s expression immediately turned ugly.
“The reason why I got this disease is because the main family keeps asking me to sleep with them!”
“Shh! My great aunt, you have to be gentler! Be careful that the walls have ears!”
Melody Fox, who was hiding around the corner, saw that the mother and daughter were almost done chatting. She ended the recording and quietly left, taking a detour to the bathroom.
However, there was no sign of Ruby in the bathroom. She could only return to the main venue.
Fortunately, as soon as he sat down, Aaron Berg called.
“Miss Fox, we found Ms. Wilson. She’s in the Taylor’s residence.”
Melody Fox quickly asked, “Is she alright?”
“Looks safe.”
“Looks? Seems? What do you mean?”
“Ms. Wilson is fine now, but she seems to have been watched by Taylors. There are two bodyguards guarding her room. I guess there are also people guarding outside the room.”
“No wonder she didn’t answer my calls.”
Melody Fox was silent for a moment and said, “Do you have a way to talk to her without being discovered? I want to know what the exact situation is and if we need to force her out.”
“There shouldn’t be a problem. These bodyguards are all hired from ordinary bodyguard companies, but I need an expert one.”
“There’s no rush. But if she’s in danger, we don’t have to worry about them spotting her. Her safety comes first.”
“Yes.”
Melody Fox hung up the phone. When he looked up, he saw Jian Huan walking towards her.
It was obvious that Jian Huan had seen her. She walked straight to her and stood still.
“Miss Fox? What a coincidence. We actually bumped into each other here. You’re here to…?”
Melody Fox said expressionlessly, “What else can we do at the auction?”
The smile on Jian Huan’s face stiffened slightly, but it quickly returned to normal.
“I really like your personality, Miss Fox. You give off the feeling of a new Fox independent woman.”
Melody Fox was amused.
“I don’t really like your personality. Isn’t it easy to say that you always say things that go against your conscience? Janet Murphy’s personality is much better than yours.”
At the very least, he was clear about his likes and dislikes.
Jian Huan’s expression remained unchanged as he sat down beside her.
“That’s right. Since young, everyone has liked my sister more. However, I wonder which item Miss Fox has his eyes on? I know the organizers. Perhaps I can help you get an internal discount.”
Melody Fox raised his eyebrows. “There’s an internal discount in the auction?”
Seeing that she was interested, Jian Huan lowered her voice and said, “Some auctions don’t have it, but I know the organizer of this place.”
Melody Fox followed Jian Huan’s words and asked, “So Miss Jian Huan has discussed with the organizers about which item’s internal discount price?”
Jian Huan smiled.
“Well, it’s hard to say. On the other hand, Miss Fox, you haven’t told me which item in the book you’re interested in.”
Melody Fox looked at Jian Huan deeply and said, “Green Velvet.”
An invisible crack seemed to appear on Jian Huan’s flawless smile.
“What does Miss Fox want the Green Velvet for? This medicine… ordinary people can’t use it.”
“Ordinary people?” Melody Fox raised his eyebrows and said, “Ordinary people indeed don’t need it. I bought it for my collection. However, I heard that people who are infected with unclean diseases need this synthetic medicine very much.”
Jian Huan’s hands on her lap suddenly clenched into fists, and panic flashed across her eyes.
But all of this happened in an instant.
Jian Huan quickly suppressed her panic and revealed an impeccable smile again. “I’ve never heard of this before, but I’m also here for Green Velvet. My father likes to collect all kinds of things. Looks like I’m going to be competitors with Miss Fox.”
Melody Fox was not surprised at all. He smirked and said,” Then it seems that I won’t be able to get an internal discount.”
“
… Hehe.” Jian Huan laughed dryly and said, “I was just joking just now. How can there be an internal discount for the items? It’s always the final price.”
“I didn’t expect Miss Jian Huan to be so humorous.”
The atmosphere was so awkward that they could not continue chatting.
Jian Huan could only stand up and say, “See you later, Miss Fox. My seat is in the first row. If you want the Green Velvet medicine, I’m afraid Miss Fox will have to work hard.”
