His Secret Spoiled Wife (Lily and Alexander) novel Chapter 359

“What’s going on?” The sight of the police officers made Melanie anxious.

She had heard about Lily’s kidnapping, but the authorities never revealed the kidnappers. After watching all the news and reading all the articles, she only learned that three internationally wanted criminals kidnaped Lily. The reason for the kidnap was not explained either.

Melanie thought it was quite a pity that Lily was not killed during the abduction. Even if she was not dead, Melanie wished she would only be rescued later in time. That way, Lily would not be able to participate in the final round of the competition.

However, Lily was lucky. She was rescued, safe and sound. It was aggravating to Melanie when she heard that! Moreover, she could not get in touch with Frank, which made her even more anxious because she had a feeling that Frank was involved in Lily’s kidnapping.

It did not matter to Melanie if Frank was involved, though. Recently, she realized Frank was getting less reliable, and there were not many benefits she could get from him anymore.

Back then, she thought that she would be able to be an internationally recognized perfumer and form connections with other renowned perfumers as long as she got on Frank’s good side. When she arrived in Westwood, she realized that Frank’s reputation was terrible here, and it was tough for him even to make a name for himself. That was why he went to other countries to scam people. Knowing that, how could Frank be her shortcut to success?

After thinking things through, she planned to get rid of Frank and find someone else to rely on. According to her observation, Wesley was the best choice for her. He was old and had the status and reputation Melanie had dreamt of. Besides, he was an actual top perfumer, and Melanie believed that her future would be limitless if she could form a connection with Wesley.

Hence, she spent more time dolling herself up before leaving for the competition venue, hoping to attract Wesley’s attention. If she managed to do that, losing the competition would be nothing to her because she would still be the winner in the long run! However, she did not expect to get stopped by the police at her doorstep.

“Are you Ms. Melanie Thayer?” One of the police officers asked as he displayed his credentials. “You’re suspected of being involved in a kidnapping case. Please come with us to the police station to help with the investigation. You may choose to stay silent, but anything you say may be used against you in the court of law.”

Melanie’s mind went blank instantly. “No! I have a competition to attend! It’s very important to me! You guys must’ve been mistaken. I’ve been staying in the hotel for the past few days, so how could I be involved in any kidnapping case? Who could I possibly kidnap? Oh, is it Lily? Did she tell you that I did it?”

Taking a few steps back, she exclaimed everything that came to her mind, “Let me tell you this, she hates me and is framing me! I did not do it! Please let me go so I can join the competition, okay? It’s important to me, so I beg you to let me leave! Even if you need me to come with you, that’ll need to wait till the competition is over!”

When the police mentioned the kidnapping case, she could guess it was Lily's case. She did not understand why the police looked for her when this had nothing to do with her at all!

Although she did drop hints and had given ideas to Frank, she had not thought of a solid plan. This time, it really had nothing to do with her!

“Sorry, you must come with us now!” Her hands got cuffed, and her objection was unheard. She had no choice but to obey.

“No! No…”
