Unscented

Melissa’s expression became even more solemn.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang.

Melissa picked up the phone and looked down. It was Murray.

Melissa looked at the flickering "Murray Gibson" on the screen. Her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

Melissa pressed the answer button and answered the call. "Hello."

"Melissa, I have arrived at Pulchra." Murray’s magnetic voice came from the other side of the line.

"Why did you suddenly go to Pulchra for a business trip? Did something happen?" Melissa asked in concern.

That night, Murray seemed to have left in a hurry.

He didn’t even have time to tell her about it and only left a note on the fridge for her.

Later, she went to the company and asked Alex. Everything was normal for the Gibson Corporation’s branch in Pulchra.

She didn’t know what had happened, but Murray went to Pulchra in such a hurry.

"It’s nothing. It’s just a private matter." Murray said indifferently.

"A personal matter?" Melissa was a bit surprised.

"Someone saw a sailor who went out to sea with my dad appear in Pulchra. Maybe he knows something." Murray’s tone became a bit serious.

Back then, one of the sailors who went out to sea with Kean had disappeared.

Everyone thought that he had died in the sea.

However, Murray suddenly received the news that someone had seen him in Pulchra.

Since it was related to the truth of his father’s death, Murray could not wait to go to Pulchra.

"Okay. Have you found him?" Melissa nodded.

"Not yet," Murray said in a low voice.

However, if someone saw him in a hurry on the street, it was possible that they had mistaken him for someone else.

However, Murray did not want to let go of any hope.

"Okay. Be careful." Melissa warned.

Melissa thought about it and told Murray about Marc’s sudden illness. "Your grandfather was suddenly ill just now..."

"What happened to him? Is he alright?" Murray asked before she could finish her sentence.

"He’s fine now. Don’t worry, I’ll pay attention to him. When his condition stabilises, I’ll give him another injection," Melissa said.

"Thank you, Melissa." Murray breathed a sigh of relief.

"It’s okay." Melissa smiled.

She still did not tell Murray about Luca and her guess.

After all, there was no solid evidence yet.

She was afraid Murray would worry.

Moreover, it was hard to say clearly over the phone.

"By the way, how’s your cold? Are you feeling better?" Murray asked with concern.

"Much better." Melissa felt touched.

"Be good at home and wait for me to come back." Murray’s voice softened a bit.

This tone was like a husband on a business trip telling his wife. It was intimate and flirtatious.

Melissa blushed.

...

In the Knowles’ villa.

Anaya was lying on the bed. Her mind was filled with Julie’s words and the photos of Melissa and Jaylin together.

Melissa Eugen!

I have to win this round!

My current state is entirely due to Melissa, this bitch!

Ever since Anaya was brought home by Dylan, he had locked her up and warned her not to go out again.

Anaya knew that Dylan was afraid that she would trouble Melissa again.

She did not understand why her big brother was suddenly so timid. He was always resolute and decisive.

However, Melissa was only a woman.

She was actually locked up for this!

During the period of time when Anaya was under house arrest, Anaya’s hatred for Melissa grew more and more intense.

Especially that night when Adela and Julie came over and showed her the news that Melissa seduced Jaylin.

Anaya was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"Melissa, you actually dare to seduce Jay. I will definitely not let you off!"

Anaya’s eyes were filled with viciousness. If she couldn’t get Jaylin, no one else could!

She wouldn’t let Melissa have a chance!

Making up her mind, Anaya pretended to take a breath of air to go to the courtyard, tricked the servants, and escaped from the backyard of the Knowles family.

Anaya was in a good mood when she had easily escaped. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

She took out the phone she had secretly taken back and found a familiar name in the address book.

Nolan Ripley.

This was her former pursuer. When she was abroad, this man would come to every concert she held.

She heard that he was from the underworld.

However, at that time, Anaya was proud and arrogant. She looked down on him and rejected him.

Nolan put in a lot of effort and became very powerful now. He was called "Nolan the Beheader".

Everyone in the underground world was afraid of him.

He had never failed to kill someone.

Staring at the phone screen, Anaya’s eyes were filled with rage.

Melissa, this time, you will die! she thought.

Taking a deep breath, Anaya made up her mind and dialed Nolan’s number.

"Hello, it’s me, Anaya." Anaya directly introduced herself.

"Miss Knowles? You still remember me?" the man on the other side spoke in a cold tone with murderous intent.

"Nolan, please do me a favour." Anaya gripped her phone. Her eyes were filled with madness.

"Favour? That’s easy. Miss Knowles, I’ll do anything for you." Nolan said invitingly.

"Thank you." Anaya smiled. She felt a little confident.

Nolan would definitely kill Melissa. She didn’t have to worry about anything.

"However, I want to see you first. Let’s have a talk in person." Nolan changed the topic. His tone was carrying a hint of malicious intent.

Anaya gritted her teeth. "Alright!"

She followed the address Nolan gave her and went to a nightclub.

The iron gate was golden. The neon light flashed. It said "Red Black Nightclub" on it.

There were men dressed in suits, as well as young ladies dressed in coquettish and tacky clothes.

Anaya frowned. She did not really want to step into such a place.

It really did not match her identity.

When she thought of the pictures of Melissa and Jaylin getting wet, she was very jealous.

She frowned and finally stepped in.

Just as he walked in, a man dressed in a black suit, who looked like a bodyguard, came over and greeted her, "Are you Miss Knowles?"

"I am." Anaya nodded and replied indifferently. She was upset with the man’s gaze as he sized up her.

"Our boss has already informed us. He said that if you come, we will take you to him. Follow me." The bodyguard led her to a private room on the top floor.

She pushed the door open and saw a man with a hideous scar on his face sitting on the sofa. His entire body was filled with cold killing intent.

It was Nolan!
