Chapter 118
“Mr. Ken. I just received news that Wendell went to meet the chairman of Taynorma Capital. Do I need to stop him?” <b>James</b>
<b>asked</b>
“No need Ken’s tone was calm as if he had expected this
<b>James </b>was stummed on the other end of the phone. Two secondster, his voice came. “Aren’t we going to do anything? <b>Isn’t </b>that letting him off too lightly?”
Ken raised his eyebrows slightly. “Don’t <b>worry</b>, he won’t be able to do anything.”
The first thing he did when he entered the headquarters was to chase Wendell, Astrid’s right<b>–</b>hand man, out of the headquarters.
Without Wendell monitoring him in the headquarters, it would be much easier for Ken to do things. Naturally, he would not let Wendell off so easily.
From Ken’s tone, James knew Ken must have had a n.
After realizing this, James was no longer anxious. He responded and asked, “Where are you now? Are you still going back to the headquarters”
Tm on my way.” Ken replied.
Okay, I’ll wait for you at headquarters. After saying that, James did not waste his breath and quickly ended the call.
David eagerly greeted Melody with the herbs as soon as she entered Herbathrive. “Miss Fox, you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you.”
Melody nodded slightly. After taking the herbs, she asked. “Is your boss here now?”
“Yes.” David paused and asked, “Didn’t you say you won’t look for our boss for a while?”
Melody smiled. “I suddenly made a fortune. Where is he? Can <b>you </b>help me call him?”
“Of course! I’ll bring you there now. With <b>that</b>, David hurriedly led the way eagerly
Melody followed closely behind.
She knew Herbathrive well and did not need David to lead the way. However, she still pretended to be curious and looked around it to <b>not </b>arouse David’s suspicion.
David brought her to the backyard.
The backyard was different from the lobby in front. It was <b>a </b>courtyard house.
This was <b>a </b><b>ce </b>with a ssic lifestyle. There were beautiful flowers and nts everywhere. The environment was quiet, and there were <b>no </b>modern appliances
As a result, although this ce was in an international and modern metropolis like Silveke, they could see butterflies and
bees there
“Please wait a moment. I’ll go get Mr. Herbert,” said David.
Melody nodded and closed her eyes to feel the familiar atmosphere.

<b>David </b>knocked on the door of one of the rooms in the courtyard house. A familiar voice came from inside, “What <b>is </b>it?”
“Mr. Herbert, a customer wants to buy medicinal herbs from you.” David reported respectfully.
Melody opened her eyes and saw <b>a </b>charmingly naive middle–aged <b>man </b>standing before David.
The man’s name <b>was </b>Colin Herbert. He used to be a traditional medicine practitioner. He then opened his traditional medicine shop and gradually developed it into the Herbathrive.
Colin’s medical skills were not bad either. In Melody’s previous life. Colin had helped her many times and taught her many things. He could be considered half a teacher to her and was <b>also </b>her good friend.
Later on, because of the death of his wife, Beverly Herbert, Colin became more and more haggard. His health deteriorated day by day. When he was <b>about </b><b>to </b>copse, he handed over Herbathrive to Melody to manage.
However, at this moment, the man who was on the verge of death was still full of energy.
Melody opened her mouth, and her eyes could not help but tear up. She almost blurted out the words “Mr. Herbert“.
Beverly was an extremely gentle person who loved life very <b>much</b>. In this life, Melody wanted to change the ending of Colin and Beverly
Melody clenched her fists and quickly came back to her senses.
When she returned to her senses, she realized Colin was also sizing her up.
The moment their eyes met, Melody hid the hot tears in her <b>eyes </b>and pretended to be distant and polite as she greeted, “Sir.”
However<b>. </b>Colin did not miss the moment when tears filled Melody’s eyes.
He could not help but feel strange. Why did this little girl look at me as if she was looking at a family member who had been separated for a long time<b>? </b>I don’t remember having such a distant rtive. Did I see it wrongly?
Colin rubbed his eyes and saw Melody’s smile was polite and distant. Her expression from before was no longer there.
“Sure enough, I was mistaken… With that in mind, Colin nodded slightly and walked forward to ask. “Miss, <b>what </b>medicinal herbs do you want to buy?”
Melody spat out a word, “Deathtenaire.”
The world described Deathtenaire <b>as </b>“When a flower blooms, all the flowers die.”
The description came from the fact that Deathtenaire’s pollen was highly toxic and could travel great distances.
nts that came into contact with the pollen of Deathtenaire would quickly wither and die.
Because of this, Deathtenaire became a forbidden <b>nt</b>, which was only avable in some countries and was very expensive.
However, many people had long known about the toxicity of Deathtenaire’s pollen but did not know that the roots of Deathtenaire were valuable medicinal herbs<b>. </b>It could almost cure hundreds of poisons and <b>was </b><b>a </b>good antidote.
If Melody wanted to detoxify herself, she had to have Deathtenaire
After Melody said ‘Deathtenaire, Colin was stunned.
This was because Deathtenaire was a nt that was strictly prohibited in Halcyon. Very few people knew about it.
He could not help but size Melody up seriously. Seeing she was so young, he could not help but be even more puzzled.
Chapter 118
He tried to <b>ask</b>. “Miss.
“My name is Melody Fox. You <b>can </b>call me Melody,” Melody introduced herself
Colm nodded and asked. “Miss Foo, where did you learn about Deathtenaire? This is not something you little girls should know.”
The pollen from Deathtenaire was highly toxic. Some people would use it to potson others. Therefore, Colin could not help but frown in fear.
Melody knew Colin very well. He was very upright, so she quickly exined. Sir, I study medicine. So I know about Deathtenaire. The reason why I want to buy this is to treat the poison in my face
“The poison on your face?” Colin narrowed his eyes and observed Melody.
He had thought Melody had a lot of e because she was young. After taking a closer look, he realized that something was
<b>Wrong</b>
Those e and red spots were very unusual. They grew densely on her face like an ant’s nest. The severity of this was not something ordinary e couldpare to
Colin <b>could </b>not help but be serious. “Who poisoned you”
For girls of this age, looks were what they cared about the most. Poisoning a young and beautiful girl’s face was too vicious!
“It’s <b>my </b>teacher. Melody hesitated for two seconds <b>and </b>decided not to hide it from Colin. She said honestly. “My family situation is rather special, so it’s inconvenient for me to tell you the details. However, to protect me, my teacher poisoned
me when I was very young. But now, I <b>want </b>to detoxify myself and restore my original appearance.”
“Every family has their difficulties. Lunderstand. You don’t have to exin too much. But who is your teacher?” Colin <b>asked</b>
He had just scrutinized it again.
Traditional medicine practitioners could tell at a nce how the patient’s condition was. His medical skills were not bad. With a closer look, he could tell that this poison was not something ordinary people could make
Until now, he had never seen such a poison that could ruin someone’s appearance to such an extent
“My teacher is called “
