Chapter 888

Melody Fox raised her eyebrows and did not reply.

Looking at Jian Huan’s departing figure, the color in Melody Fox’s eyes darkened.

From Jian Huan’s tone, it seemed like she was determined to get the Green Velvet.

It seemed that the Green Velvet had indeed decided on the person who would eventually obtain the Green Velvet, and this person should be Jian Huan.

“Miss Fox, she seems to think that the Green Velvet belongs to her…” Spencer reminded in a low voice.

Melody Fox nodded.

“I can see that. Let’s wait and see. By the way, Aaron Berg said Ruby was at home. You don’t have to keep an eye on the door.”

“Yes.”

As she spoke, Melody Fox heard lively voices coming from backstage. She could vaguely hear the words “Chairman Lou, Mrs. Taylor”.

It seemed that the Taylor’s older couple had arrived.

As expected, it did not take long for the couple to appear in front of everyone.

Immediately, many people surrounded him and exchanged pleasantries.

Melody Fox looked at Jian Huan.

Jian Huan and her daughter, who were sitting in the first row, did not move. They looked like they were waiting for someone to come and chat with them.

Melody Fox was paying attention to the Taylor older couple. After the Elder Taylor couple greeted the people who surrounded them, they walked straight toward Jian Huan and her daughter.

Chairman Lou Taylor nodded lightly and went to sit in the center of the first row. Mrs. Lou Taylor sat directly beside Jian Huan.

Due to the distance, Melody Fox could not hear what they said, but she could tell from their expressions that Mrs. Taylor seemed to be deliberately supporting Jian Huan and her daughter.

What was going on?

Although the Murphy family’s overall strength was above the Taylor family, Jian Huan and her daughter were only a branch of the Murphy family.

With Mrs. Taylor’s status, there was no need for him to look at Jian Huan and her daughter’s expressions.

Could it be that other than the Murphy family that she knew had given the Taylor family a house, they had other transactions?

What else did the Murphy family promise the Taylor family? Melody Fox’s mind raced. After thinking about it, she suddenly thought of Chairman Lou Taylor whom she had just seen.

She suddenly looked at Chairman Lou. Coincidentally, Chairman Lou had turned to talk to the guests in the second row, so she could clearly see Chairman Lou’s expression.

His lips were an unnatural blackish-purple color, and his eyes were two blackish-green as if he had stayed up for a few days.

What surprised Melody Fox the most was that his pupils were slightly dilated.

In an instant, Melody Fox finally guessed the reason why Mrs. Taylor was so polite to Jian Huan and her daughter. Chairman Lou was sick, so the Murphy family must have promised to cure Chairman Lou.

However, it was more like he was poisoned than sick.

Moreover, if she had not guessed wrongly, Chairman Lou should have been poisoned by voodoo.

Gu… the Murphy family obviously no one knew how to make voodoo, and the person she knew who knew how to make voodoo was Li Ming’s new wife.

It was also the original owner of the raw jadeite.

Everything that she could not see through at first was connected at this moment.

the Murphy family had reached an agreement with Li Ming’s group!

Right at this moment, Melody Fox’s phone vibrated. It was Aaron Berg.

Melody Fox quickly picked up the call and lowered the volume so that the people around them could not hear what the person on the other end of the line said.

“Hello, Aaron Berg?”

The moment she spoke, the person on the other end of the phone was Ruby.

“Melody, I’ve let you down… Ruby has already been decided internally. I wanted to beg my father-in-law, but not only did he not agree, he even locked me up.”

Ruby explained the situation in an extremely self-reproachful tone.

After saying that, she explained that Mrs. Taylor had told her that Chairman Lou Taylor and Mason Taylor’s brother were both “sick”.

Melody Fox listened carefully without any surprise in her eyes.

Her guess just now matched everything Ruby had said.

As expected, the Murphy family had been polite before resorting to force. They had given the Taylor’s houses and resources and threatened in exchange for the Green Velvet medicine to cure Jian’s “illness.”

The Murphy family had really put in a lot of effort to cure Jian Huan’s illness.

It seemed that Jian Huan was not just a member of Branch the Murphy family. She might very well be a tool for the Murphy family to rope in connections.

From the looks of it, she had to pay more attention to the matter between Minghao and Jian Huan.

On the phone, Ruby was still apologizing guiltily. “I’m sorry, Melody. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have lied to you, but I… It doesn’t matter if you don’t forgive me. I was in the wrong in the first place. I’m sorry…”

Ruby was obviously crying. Her voice was filled with a heavy sobbing tone.

Melody Fox originally had a slight grudge against Ruby, but her heart softened now.

After figuring out the reason, she knew very well that this matter was not something that Ruby could control. Ruby Taylor even tried to think of a solution for her at the last moment.

The Green Velvet medicine was too rare. Ruby did not owe her anything in the first place. She just did not fulfill her promise to her. It was not a big deal at all.

Moreover, this matter involved too many things. It was no longer within the scope of Ruby and Mason’s ability.

“It’s not your fault. You had no choice. I understand. Don’t cry. Be careful of the child in your stomach.”

“Y…-you’re not angry with me?”

Melody Fox sighed and said, “Ruby, we’re friends. It’s normal for friends to have small misunderstandings. However, I hope that no matter what happens in the future, you can tell me the truth and not hide it from me.”

“I know. I actually wanted to tell you the truth every second on the way… It’s my fault. I swear I won’t lie to you again.” “Alright, let’s pretend that this never happened. How about this? When the auction here ends, I’ll look for you at your house?”

“Alright! I’ll apologize to you in person!”

Ruby had just finished speaking when Aaron Berg’s urging voice sounded from his phone.

“Ms. Wilson. I have to go or they’ll find out.”

Melody Fox quickly said, “That’s all for now. I’ll come and look for you after the auction ends. Take care of yourself.”

After saying that, Melody Fox hung up before Ruby could respond.

Coincidentally, at Fox, the auction host went on stage and invited Chairman Lou to speak.

As soon as Chairman Lou went on stage, Melody Fox immediately looked over.

Traditional medicine was particular about looking, hearing, asking, and cutting. With just the naked eye, Melody Fox could only determine that Chairman Lou had been poisoned by a parasitic poison. However, there were also many types of parasitic poison. With her ability, she could not determine which one it was with the naked eye.

Of course, even if her master was Quentin Parker, it was impossible to determine what kind of Gu poison the other party had been poisoned with just the naked eye.

He had to wait until Fox when the parasitic poison acted up to know.

“Welcome to the auction venue. This time, in addition to the Green Velvet’s unique divine medicine, we are also cooperating with Pearly Antiques and the major antique dealers domestically and abroad…”

The content that Chairman Lou mentioned was Janet Murphy. It probably meant that other than Green Velvet, there were many rare treasures that would be auctioned tonight.

However, Melody Fox’s focus was not on this. Instead, it stopped for a sip of water after Chairman Lou said a few words. It was as if it could not continue without resting.

It seemed that Chairman Lou had been poisoned for a long time.

If he did not receive treatment within a week, things would not be good.
