Unscented

"Melissa, let go of Claire. Don’t go too far. The scandal between you and the star has spread all over the Internet. What we said is true. Why do you want to vent your anger?" Sarah shouted.

The scandal had spread all over the Internet?

The scandal of Jaylin and her?

Melissa frowned. She let go of Claire and pushed her away.

Claire slipped and fell into the bathtub.

She felt a sharp pain.

Claire felt her tailbone was about to crack.

"Claire, are you alright?" Sarah quickly went over to help Claire up.

"Sarah, it hurts." Claire grimaced in pain and glared at Melissa. "Sarah, you must drive Melissa away."

Melissa didn’t want to stay with them any longer, so she returned to the room.

The phone taken away by the waiter the night before had been taken back by Murray.

Melissa picked it up and took a look.

She found that she was said to date two men. She had hooked up with Jaylin and betrayed Murray.

People scolded her on the Internet with all kinds of dirty words.

Melissa was expressionless and calm.

Once again, she occupied the headlines.

Needless to say, someone was adding fuel to the fire.

Sarah helped Claire get out of the bathtub and glared at Melissa. "Melissa, leave here as soon as possible. Don’t cause trouble for Murray anymore."

Melissa didn’t even give them a glance. She walked to her suitcase and took out her clothes to change the wet ones on her.

Claire was shivering from the cold. When she saw how indifferent and peaceful Melissa was, jealousy bubbled just below the surface of her mind.

She walked over and grabbed the clothes from Melissa’s hands. She threw them on the ground and stomped on them.

Then, she kicked Melissa’s suitcase and left a footprint.

Seeing the dirty clothes and the suitcase with the footprint, Claire felt a little better.

Claire raised her chin proudly. "Melissa, don’t bully me. You’d better get out of here obediently. Don’t be shameless!"

Melissa looked up at Claire with her clear and bright eyes. Her beautiful face was cold. "The latest Bruda shirt is worth 500 thousand dollars. The suitcase is designed by Lisuo, a famous Ostacre designer. It is worth 105 million dollars. You should pay for them."

"How can they be worth so much?" Claire screamed, and her face turned pale with anger. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Sarah, she is blackmailing me." Claire pulled Sarah by her arm.

Melissa smiled. "Can’t you afford them? It doesn’t matter. You can pay for them by being slapped by me."

Melissa finished her words.

However, Claire and Sarah had no time to react.

Melissa slapped Claire in her face.

"How dare you hit me?" Claire covered her face and looked at Melissa in disbelief. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Since Claire and Sarah came to provoke her, Melissa decided not to be kind to them.

Melissa sneered, "I hit you just because I want to do that. Do I need to pick a date?"

After saying that, Melissa slapped Claire on the other side of her face.

Claire’s face instantly swelled up.

"Melissa, you are crazy." Melissa was about to slap Claire again. Seeing that, Sarah went over to pull Claire behind her.

Claire’s face would be ruined if it was slapped by Melissa in that way.

Sarah shouted, "Don’t do that to Clair again!"

"I must do that today. What can you do with me?" Melissa sneered.

"You..." Sarah realised that Melissa didn’t take her seriously.

Sarah was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Melissa. "Melissa, you are so shameless. I will teach you a lesson."

Melissa frowned. When she was about to counterattack, a large hand suddenly held her waist.

The feeling was familiar.

It was Murray.

A huge force pulled Melissa into Murray’s arms.

Sarah missed Melissa.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Murray spoke in a deep voice, and his expression was cold.

Seeing Murray, Claire started to complain about Melissa. "Murray, don’t protect her. She cheated on you when she filmed. It has been spread on the Internet. Sarah and I are teaching her a lesson for you."

"Is that so?" Murray smiled indifferently.

"Haven’t you seen the news on the Internet today? Melissa has an affair with Jaylin and doesn’t take you seriously. Don’t protect her anymore. She is just a woman of easy virtue. Moreover, your grandfather is lying unconsciously in the hospital because of her. Have you forgotten that?" Sarah reprimanded Melissa’s crimes, and her face was dark with anger.

"Mom, that’s something between Melissa and me. You don’t have to worry about it." Murray protected Melissa with his tall figure.

Melissa stood behind Murray and looked at his straight back. At that moment, she was moved by him.

"Murray, we are doing this for you. Why are you..." Seeing Murray protecting Melissa, Claire was full of jealousy.

Before she could finish her words, Murray interrupted her coldly, "You are not allowed to interfere in the matter between Melissa and me again.

"If you do that again, I won’t forgive you even though you are my cousin," Murray said as he looked at Claire with a sharp and gloomy gaze.

Claire couldn’t help but shiver when she felt Murray’s powerful and cold aura.

Murray had never treated Claire in that way. He was cold and decisive, which made Claire take a few steps backward with fear.

"Well, well." Seeing Murray’s attitude, Sarah had nothing to do. "Since you insist on protecting her, I have no choice. I hope you won’t be regretful later."

After saying that, Sarah left with Claire.

The living room fell silent immediately.

Melissa sneezed and sniffed. "Actually, you can explain to them that the news online is fake."

However, Murray didn’t explain it.

The reporters were unscrupulous.

Julie was taken away by the police, and the truth came out. However, the reporters still reported the fake news.

Melissa became depressed. She wondered who added fuel to the fire.

"I was negligent. Otherwise, the reporters won’t write nonsense." Seeing Melissa’s wet hair, Murray took off his coat and put it on Melissa. Then, he carried her up and walked to the bathroom.
