Frank mocked her, but Melanie ignored it and got straight to the point. “I’m here with a business
proposal.”
“A business proposal? You?” Frank snickered, unconvinced. “If I remember correctly, you don’t have
enough money to talk business with me. Besides, what kind of deal could you offer? You haven’t even
been able to fulfill your last promise.”
He was losing patience with her. If this were the old Melanie, she would have lowered her voice and
tried to coax him or even begged him. This time, though, she was already over her head, so there was
nothing to lose.
Melanie replied, “You didn’t keep your word, either. You promised to help me enter this year’s perfume
championship and win the trophy. However, the formula you gave me had several flaws!”

“Right, you settled that, but you’ve also ruined me! Now that Nathaniel knows about us, he doesn’t
want me anymore. He’s even kicked me out of MN Inc.! How can I enter the championship now? How
am I supposed to build a career in the perfume industry? This was all your fault!” She accused Frank
furiously.
Frank smiled calmly in the face of her wrath. “Mel, how could you say that? What we did was
consensual, no? Speaking of my promise, didn’t I already give you the formula? Using that formula,
you’re qualified for the championship. Besides, I’ve heard that MN Inc. had already handed in their
registration form, which was approved. We only need to wait for the judges to evaluate. If Nathaniel
won’t use your name for this, that’s his problem. You should look for him, not me.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll settle things with Nate once and for all. However, I’ve done so much for you. Shouldn’t
you at least give me something in return?” Melanie said.
Frank looked at her with a smirk, “What do you want from me?”
“I heard there’s a huge perfume sampling event next week in Westwood. I want you to take me there.”
She had heard that this sampling event would invite guests from large corporations and famous
perfumers. Lily would also be there as Rebirth’s representative.
Although this event was not as big as the annual perfume championship, it still held a special status in
the industry. It was also a more exclusive event because of the strict requirements for participation.
Melanie was green with jealousy! Why did everything good befall Lily? How was it that Melanie had
nothing while Lily had everything? She would not accept this nor allow it!
Frank laughed uncontrollably, scattering cigarette ashes everywhere. “Mel, are you sober? Do you
know the type of people that would attend this event? Do you think you could get it with your status and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcapabilities?” He sneered, “Honestly, it isn’t just you. The number of perfumers qualified to join the
event from this country is unbelievably low.”
“I know that! You’re qualified, though, so take me with you!” Melanie raised her head and looked
straight at him.
Frank was well-known in the industry. She was not exactly sure what status he held abroad, but she
was pretty sure he was still qualified to attend this event.
He lifted his hand and put out his cigarette, “You’re right. I’m qualified, and I’ve also received their
invitation. Why should I bring you along? Give me one good reason.”
“I know Lily will attend,” Melanie paused, “It’s difficult to lay a finger on her within these borders, but it’s
a different story abroad. I could help you seek revenge and ensure she won’t get away!”
Frank glanced at her as he calculated whether the deal was worth it. It was indeed a tempting offer to
him. After a while, he decided, “Deal!”
