"You had me investigated?"
Frank got a cigarette from his pocket, lighted it, and stood there with his eyes flashing.
"Yes, but don't worry, I won't do anything to you.After all, we’re in the same boat.Your interests and
mine are aligned, right?"
She was still smiling as she said that, looking gentle as ever.
"What do you want?"
Frank knew she must have had other intentions by telling him all this.
"I'll see what I can do.Anything but the first prize in the perfumery competition, I don't have that kind of
power."
"Who says you don't?"
Melanie stood up and leaned against him, saying softly, "I heard that during last year’s competition,
everyone was sure that another perfumer would win, but you won in the end.Although they suspected
you of cheating, there was no evidence."
Frank took another puff of the cigarette with a sullen face and did not say a word.
"That’s why I believe you have that kind of power.I don't know what you can do, but as you said, this is
Woodland, your territory.You must have your ways, right?"
She kept speaking softly into his ears, "Actually, it’s not that difficult, right? It’s just a competition.If we
know the question in advance, wouldn't it be easier to deal with?"
Melanie was aware of the level of her ability.If she relied on herself, she would be lucky to be
shortlisted, let alone win.
However, everything would be much easier if she knew the questions and answers in advance.It was
often said that cheating in the perfume industry was difficult.
After all, it was all about the sense of smell.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмHowever, on the slip side, if it was all about
the sense of smell, how could others judge how sensitive one’s sense of smell is? Since it was a
competition, there were bound to be loopholes, and cheating was not impossible.
Otherwise, there would be no one like Frank, a fraud that was doing well in the industry.
Frank did not say anything and kept smoking until he was almost finished with the cigarette.He took the
last puff and asked, "What's in it for me?"
"After the competition, I'll send Lily your way, and you can do whatever you want with her!"
She smiled confidently.
Frank smiled too, but skeptically.
"Really? You couldn’t even do anything in Hyderland.What makes you think you can do it when you're
here?"
"If I found out about you, of course.I have my ways."
Melanie said unhurriedly, "It was difficult in Hyderland because I would've been the most obvious
suspect.Here, who would think it was me?"
"You hired someone?"
It didn't take too long for Frank to deduce.
Melanie was noncommittal and said, "Don't worry about my methods.Long story short, we can achieve
our goals.I want my reputation and status, and you can take revenge on her."
"Hey, I’m not stupid! What if she sues me and makes a big fuss?"
After a pause, he continued, "Even if she doesn't sue, with her skills, she could probably take my life..."
Frank was not going to die for momentary pleasure with Lily.
Moreover, despite his reputation, he still wanted to stay in the industry.
Melanie glanced at him disdainfully, "Where have all your little tricks gone? If she doesn’t comply, you
can make her comply!"
