“What makes you so sure?”

Linda’s right–hand man was puzzled.

Melanie saw the curious look on Linda’s face, and explained, “When Adam lost his temper last night

and you scolded Mr. Wright in front of everyone, he smelled only of tobacco. Not this brand of cologne

that he was wearing just now.

“I suppose it’s because he must have been very busy preparing for the show over the past few days,

and didn’t bother with his usual luxuries.

“When you called him and Kelly over to explain themselves, I paid close attention and noticed that he

hadn’t applied any cologne at that time. However, I also noticed a faint smell of cologne after he

queued up. He’s smarter than Kelly, and used only a little to create the impression that he had applied

the cologne much earlier on.

“But no matter how faint the scent is, a professional will be able to pick up the top note mixed with a bit

of the middle note instead of the base note, which should be present had he applied the

cologne much earlier on.”

“Impressive!”

Linda’s right–hand man couldn’t hold back his praise. “So when you deliberately declared that the smell

him at that point?”

Melanie nodded.

Linda looked relieved. “He’s certainly a prime suspect. He always looks so timid working for me over

the years, but now he decided to go all out in betraying me!”

After a moment’s pause, Linda instructed her right–hand man, “Make sure your men are alert enough!

Follow Mr. Wright to find Sun and Moon. Don’t alert him to our movements!”

“Yes, Miss!”

Linda’s right–hand man took on the task and turned to look at Melanie with newfound respect in his

eyes. “Miss Melanie, do you need to sniff out the rest of the crowd?”

“We’ll continue,” Melanie said.

“Haven’t we already confirmed that it’s Mr. Wright?” the right–hand man said, confused.

“Ms. Yancey said earlier that Mr. Wright worked for her for so many years. Although it looks like he

betrayed her, I’m sure he planted some spies in Ms. Yancey’s team. It’ll be good for us to take this

chance to identify all of them,” Melanie explained.

Linda nodded with a smile. “It’s tough on you.”

Melanie shook her head with a smile.

After checking through over a hundred staff members, Melanie identified a few key suspects. All of

them recently applied perfume, of which three of them used the same brand of fragrance and even



applied similar amounts. It was likely that none of them had perfume with them, and they borrowed

from the same person to help cover things up.

“Go and take a rest. I asked someone to prepare a room for you,” Linda said to Melanie.

Melanie stood up, and suddenly felt a wave of nausea. She covered her mouth with her hand, and

started to dry–heave.

Annie hurriedly walked over to her to hold her steady. “How are you feeling?”

Linda sighed. “Seems like you’re really exhausted. Bring her to the room. I’ll have someone stew some

soup for her and will send it over to her soon.”

Annie nodded, and helped Melanie to the room to lie down. Worried, she complained, “I saw you

pushing yourself just now. I knew that there was no use trying to talk you out of it, but there really was

no need for you to sniff out so many people! What if something untoward happened to you?”

“The theft of a jewelry collection meant for the finale of this show is a huge blow to Ms. Yancey. I must

help her. What’s more, she suddenly wanted to collaborate with me. It is critical for partners to be

evenly matched. I must seize this chance to prove my worth,” Melanie explained.

She went on to comfort Annie with a smile, “I know my limits. I won’t bite off more than I can chew.”

Very soon, one of Linda’s subordinates came in with two bowls of nutritious soup, accompanied with a

slip of paper indicating the list of ingredients used in the soup.

Annie looked through it, and said to Melanie, “They are all ingredients suitable for pregnant ladies to

consume…“.

Melanie sipped on the refreshing and tasty soup, unsurprised. “I could sense her taking care of me

when we chatted yesterday.”

She told Annie softly about her suspicions–that Linda was the mother of that little boy.

Annie exclaimed in hushed tones, “Ms. Yancey is such an amazing woman. How could she

“The possibility of Harlow forcing himself upon Ms. Yancey is as low as her fancying him,” Melanie

corrected. “Something unknown must have happened between them back then, thereby resulting in a

child between them–an intellectually challenged child, to boot…”

One hour later. Linda’s right–hand man came to Melanie’s room and knocked softly on the door.

“Miss Melanie, Miss Snow. Ms. Yancey is asking if you’ve rested enough. She wants you to come

over.”

“We’ll head over soon,” Melanie said as she sat up on the bed.
