Chapter 108
On the phone<b>, </b><b>David </b>said, “Here is the thing. You asked me to call you if my bosses back. I just received news that my boss will be <b>back </b>today. You cane to get the medicer <b>and </b>meet my boss.”
“Your boss is back?” Melody was delighted. She had <b>been </b>waiting for the shop owner of Herbathrive for <b>a </b>few days.
However, Melody immediately remembered that she did not have much money now. Even if the shop owner returned, she could not afford those rare herbs,
If you have no hand, <b>you </b>can’t <b>make </b>a fist. Melody was silent for <b>two </b>seconds before saying. I don’t <b>have </b>enough money now. I’m afraid I can’t afford the herbs I want. How about this? <b>Don’t </b>mention me to your boss first. I’lle to him when I’ve gathered the money.”
<b>“</b>Alright,” David replied, “I’ll help you concoct the herbs properly, I’ll choose the best herbs. There won’t be any mistakes<b>.</b><b>”</b>
“Okay, <b>thank </b>you,” said Melody.
“It’s my pleasure, David replied softly.
After hanging up the phone, Melody sighed sadly. Shey on the bed and stared at the ceiling, thinking about how to get the
<b>money</b>.
The next moment, she suddenly remembered the shop Wilmot had given her.

She immediately used her phone to log into the merchant’s backend and realized that the the past two weeks had reached over 400 thousand dors.
She hesitated for a moment before withdrawing all the money.
Her ount received 100 thousand dors immediately, but this amount was still a drop in the bucket for buying medicinal herbs. She could not even buy a single medicinal herb with it
Helpless, Melody could only turn her gaze to the <b>thank</b>–you gift from the Swanson family.
If she sold all of these… it would be enough to buy one medicinal herb.
‘Okay, let’s do it, Melody thought to herself. She closed her eyes and tried to catch up on sleep. When she woke up, she looked at the time. It was past eight in the morning.
She wondered if Ken had woken up at this hour.
After hesitating for a moment, Melody called Ken.
<b>Ken </b>picked up the call very quickly.
*I forgot to transfer the money to youst night. I’ll transfer it to you now,” Ken <b>said</b>.
“No, no.” Melody quickly said, Tm not urging you to pay my sabiry.”
Then what do you want to do?<b>” </b>Ken, who was about to go to the meeting, sounded impatient but didn’t look impatient. Instead, he gestured at his assistant, indicating he would go to the meeting roomter.
Melody did not know about Ken’s situation. She said, “Do you still have the receipt for the gifts <b>you </b><b>gave </b>me?”
Ken was stunned. He did not expect Melody to call him about this.
He could not help but frown. “Is that why you called so early in the morning?”
<b>1/3</b>
“That’s right… I’m a little short of money now and want to return these things because I don’t need many gifts. So, can you help me ask if the receipt is still there?” said Melody.
Ken’s expression was especially dark. He replied unhappily, “No, I don’t have it!”
“Alright, thank… Before Melody could say the word “<b>you</b>“, the call ended.
“What’s going on…” Melody was confused. He had already given me those gifts. I only want a receipt. Why was he so angry?
So, Melody had no <b>choice </b>but to search for second–hand luxury goods stores on her phone.
<b>Although </b>she did not even unpack these gifts, the price would not be high once she sold them to a second–hand shop. However, she was <b>too </b>short of money now. So, she could only do <b>this</b>.
At the headquarters of the Swanson Group, Ken hung up the phone with a dark expression.
I had personally chosen those gifts. I can’t believe Melody asked me for a receipt to sell these gifts! Good for her! She is so tacky! I must have been blind to feel that she was not annoying Ken thought angrily.
Coincidentally, James returned from the countryside. He knocked on the office door and reported, “Mr. Ken. I’m <b>back </b>from Miss Fox’s ce in the countryside. She…
“I don’t want to know anything about her now. Go busy yourself with Pearly Antiques. Keep an eye on Pearly Antiques and figure out who has been managing its operations now,” said Ken.
James <b>went </b>to the countryside to investigate Melody almost night and day. It <b>was </b>not easy for him to find Melody did not live in the farmhouse arranged by the Fox <b>family</b>. However, before he could tell Ken, Ken said he did not want to hear anything about Melody.
James could not help but feel surprised, but Ken seemed in a bad mood. He did not dare to say anything and could only
leave
Coincidentally, the assistant entered and urged, “Mr. Swanson, the directors are all here. They’re waiting for <b>you </b>in the conference room.
This assistant used to work for Ramon. She had heard that Ken had crippled his brother’s legs, so she didn’t have <b>a </b>good impression of Ken.
However, <b>Ken’s </b><b>aura </b>was too strong, <b>so </b>she had to hide her dissatisfaction with him.
However, she could not <b>understand </b>why the chairman would let such a ruthless person <b>manage </b>their headquarters for the time being.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
‘Isn’t he afraid Ken will be ruthless and take over the Swanson Group? While she was confused, Ken had already put on his suit jacket and brushed past her.
The assistant quickly came back to her senses and followed Ken.
The directors were gossiping about Ken in low voices in the meeting <b>room</b>.
“Do you think Mr. Ramon ns to hand thepany over <b>to </b>Ken in the future?
“Mr. Ramon <b>has </b>never asked <b>anyone </b>to take charge of thepany. He suddenly asked Ken toe to the headquarters to take charge. Perhaps that’s his intention.”

“Tsk, I don’t know what Mr. Ramon is thinking. Someone like Ken should be sent to prison to be taught a lesson. <b>It’s </b><b>not </b>like Mr. Ramon doesn’t have another son. Why is he so biased toward this ruthless…”
<b>“</b>Ahem, ahem, ahem!” One of the directors suddenly coughed violently.
Only then did everyone realize that Ken was standing <b>at </b>the conference room’s door.
The directors in the meeting room immediately fell silent, but they did not show any guilt on their faces. In their opinion, Ken had indeed crippled his brother’s legs. They were telling the truth, so there was no need to fear.
As for Ken, even if he heard what they said, he would pretend he didn’t.
However, in the next second, Ken chuckled and said, “Looks like everyone is quite interested in my <b>gossip</b>. Do you need me <b>to </b>tell you in detail about what happened so you won’t be curious again?”
The expressions of the directors froze, and they felt a little embarrassed
They were all about the same age as Ramon, so they were a little unhappy that a junior had exposed them.
“Ken…” a director rted to the Swanson family said without scruples, “<b>What </b><b>you </b>said is too much. It’s wrong for us to talk about you behind your back, but what we said is the truth. You know it yourself…”
“The truth?” Ken’s cold and noble eyes swept across the director.
That gaze <b>was </b>like a sharp de hanging on the director’s body, making the director’s back turn cold. Even a thinyer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and he wished to leave this ce immediately.
The director swallowed hard before he found his voice. He mustered his courage and said, “I was telling the truth. Is… Is there a problem?”
