Unscented-Chapter 255 - 197 Wait and See

Melissa ignored Ryleigh and walked towards Murray’s office step by step.

Her heart was slightly aching.

Ryleigh provoked her again and again. What was she trying to do?

Wasn’t Ryleigh already with Murray? Why was she so afraid of losing him? Was she afraid that Murray would be snatched away?

If Ryleigh was really Lily, she should be very confident that Murray would never leave her.

She shouldn’t be like that.

What exactly was Ryleigh afraid of?

Melissa thought for a while and sent a message to Anthony, "Anthony, help me investigate someone."

Andy quickly replied, "Who do you want to know? Just don’t be the Lily many years ago."

Lily...

Melissa smiled self-deprecatingly. She really wanted to investigate Lily.

However, she had to investigate Ryleigh first.

As for whether Lily is Ryleigh or not ... Let’s wait and see.

Melissa smiled and sent another message to Anthony, "Investigate Ryleigh for me. Her nickname is Angel. She used to be a singer at Charm Bar. I want all her information."

After the message was sent out, Melissa added, "Especially around the 18th of last month, is there anything special about Ryleigh?"

It was the day of Melissa and Murray’s engagement ceremony.

It was on that day that Ryleigh appeared in front of Murray, destroying Melissa’s engagement ceremony with Murray.

As Nina said, it was too coincidental.

There was always an unknown intention behind the coincidence. Melissa thought that there must be someone plotting it behind Ryleigh’s appearance.

Someone deliberately did it.

"Okay, I will investigate her for you as soon as possible," Anthony replied.

"Good, I will wait for your good news," Melissa replied.

She put away her phone and went to Murray’s office.

When she thought that she was going to meet Murray, Melissa suddenly stopped breathing.

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then knocked on the door.

"Come in," Murray said in his clear voice.

Melissa pushed the door open and entered.

"Melissa?" Murray raised his eyes and saw the beautiful figure in front of him. His cold eyes softened a little.

He stood up, stared at Melissa’s face, and asked, "Melissa, you want to talk to me?"

"Yes." Melissa nodded lightly. He walked to Murray’s desk and handed him the papers in her hand. "There is something I need to report to you about the ’Ice and Fire’ project."

Murray looked through the papers.

Melissa continued, "According to the information, Love and Romance has recently launched many imitations of ’Ice and Fire’, which have caused a big impact on the sales of our products. Our sales have dropped by 20% this month."

"I know about this. I have already asked Alex to investigate it." Murray narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Alright, I’ll go back to work then." Melissa nodded.

Seeing her indifferent look, Murray’s face sank. He stretched out and held Melissa’s waist.

Just as Melissa was about to turn around and leave, a huge force came from her waist. She lost her balance and fell into Murray’s arms.

Murray pressed her down on the sofa.

He leaned forward, his hands on both sides of Melissa’s body, and his whole body pressed down on her.

"You came to me just for that?" Murray fixed his cold eyes on the woman beneath him and asked coldly.

Melissa struggled for a moment but did not succeed. She smiled and said, "Of course."

She only cared about working...

Murray’s thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, and her face was cold, showing his extreme displeasure at this moment.

The atmosphere in the office froze at this moment.

After a moment of silence, Murray asked in a deep voice, "Melissa, do you have anything else to say to me?"

Melissa said lightly, "No."

"Aren’t you going to ask me where I went last night?" Looking at Melissa’s indifferent expression, Murray’s face was even colder.

He went to Ryleigh’s home last night. Shouldn’t she be jealous? Shouldn’t she come to question him?

Why was she so calm?

She really didn’t care about him at all?

"Your Lily has already told me." Melissa smiled coldly.

"Lily? What did she say to you?" Murray was startled.

Melissa snorted coldly and looked away from him.

What exactly did Murray mean?

Was the humiliation he gave her not enough?

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Alex said, "Mr. Gibson." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Melissa took the opportunity to push Murray away. "Someone is coming. Let me go."

Murray furrowed his brows and released Melissa. He tidied up his messy clothes and said in a low voice, "Come in."

Alex pushed open the door and entered. He saw that Melissa was there, and Murray’s expression was not good.

He seemed to have arrived at a bad time...

Murray loosened his tie impatiently and sat back in his seat. He glanced at Alex and asked, "What is it?"

Alex’s expression turned serious. He hurriedly walked to Murray and said respectfully, "Mr. Gibson, I found some news about Love and Romance."

"Go on," Murray said with a calm expression.

Alex opened the document in his hand, handed it to Murray, and explained, "Ever since the last plagiarism incident, Love and Romance has been seriously injured in all aspects, whether from reputation or the operation of the company. The capital chain has been broken, and the company has been in danger for a time."

Melissa heard this and asked doubtfully, "Since the situation of Love and Romance is so bad, how can it cause such a big impact on us now?"

"Because someone bought it," Alex glanced at Melissa and replied.

"Someone bought it?" Murray smiled and asked, his tone a little surprised.

Melissa was also puzzled.

Who would buy a company that had a bad reputation and was about to be bankrupt?

"Yes." Alex nodded with certainty.

Murray asked coldly, "Which company bought Love and Romance?"

Alex pointed at the document on the table. "It’s an Australian company. Its full name is Baxter Pty Ltd. It is also called BPL."

Australia?

Melissa’s heart skipped a beat. She keenly sensed something unusual.

If she remembered correctly, she was almost hit by the chandelier before, and the maintenance worker named Ivan had an accident in Australia.

Now, the Baxter Pty Ltd company that bought Love and Romance was also in Australia.

Could it be just a coincidence?
