Melanie snapped back to her senses. “Sorry, I was on a call.”

On the way to the studio with Eric, Melanie put aside the matter regarding Matthew in the

meantime. What she needed to focus on the most at the moment was handling Redwaves.

With one thing happening one after another, she could only proceed step by step.

The item that Fuller wanted to give her turned out to be a new set of materials, which

could be used for planning new strategies for Redwaves.

Melante thanked him, but Fuller waved it off. “I consider Xander my student. Burning Star

Studio has come this far under my guidance. This is nothing.”

Melanie lowered her gaze and replied, “I’ll convey your kindness to Xander.”

Fuller looked at her, a gentle smile on his face. “You must’ve been scared when the power

went out suddenly last time, right?”

Melanie’s eyes widened in surprise. Fuller had never mentioned the power outage incident

before, and it was always Eric who dealt with it. Now, he was bringing it up out of the blue.

She looked at the man whose expression remained unchanged. He said, “Luckily, nothing

happened to you at the time. If you had stumbled or hit something, Xander would demand

an explanation from me.”

Melanie smiled politely and bade farewell before leaving.

Eric initially wanted to accompany her, but Melanie declined. However, just as she

stepped out, she saw Mrs. Lyney sitting in the corridor, shelling peanuts.

The old woman’s actions paused when she saw Melanie. She reached into her basket and

grabbed a handful of peanuts to offer to Melanie. “Here, have some.”

Melanie hesitated for a moment as she looked at the peanuts. Then, she crouched down in

front of her and tasted one. It was slightly sweet.

Flora Lyney had a kindly face, and despite her old age, she spoke clearly and coherently.

She asked Melanie, “Why have you come back again?”

Melanie paused. “Have you seen me come here before?”

The woman nodded slowly and replied leisurely, “Of course. I see everything that goes on

here every day. I sit here every day.”

Melanie’s gaze sharpened as she carefully asked, “Do you remember the power outage

that happened before?”

“There was no power outage,” Mrs. Lyney replied, looking a bit puzzled as she gazed at

Melanie.

Melanie furrowed her brows, trying to be more specific. “It happened the first time I came

here, and

Eric had someone come to fix it,” she said slowly all while observing the woman’s

reaction.

There was initially confusion on her wrinkled face, but then Mrs. Lyney recalled something

and shook her head. “There was no power outage. Martle checks the circuits every month,

so there shouldn’t be any outages.”

The old woman’s brows furrowed in realization when she noticed Melanie’s disagreement

with her statement. “That day, it was Fuller who turned off the power himself. I asked him

why and he said he needed to conduct an experiment.”

She then grabbed some peanuts from her basket and showed them to Melanie. “These

were grown by Fuller’s wife. They taste okay. I just sit here for some enjoyment.”

Melanie paid no heed to the woman’s later words as she looked toward the direction of the

lab, feeling a bit unsettled.

Was it Fuller who turned off the power? Lee had been downstairs the whole time and only

saw Fuller going downstairs, which made sense.

With various thoughts swirling in her mind, Melanie returned to the hotel. She wanted to

talk to Eugene about this discovery. However, the moment she stepped out of the taxi, she

saw Howard pacing in front of the hotel.

As if sensing her presence, he looked up, and his eyes lit up. “Mel, you’re finally back!”
