Chapter 245 She Knows
I don’t care whether he understands that knowledge. Since my brand has been falsely accused of d issues, as the original pharmacist for YM Cosmetics, I must investigate the source of this incident, Melody stated, her tone unwavering.
“Whether you cooperate or not, I have to clear the name of YM Cosmetics.
“No one can just throw accusations without any pushback,” she added coolly, unfazed by Derrick’s aggressive demeanor.
After all, their relationship was over. Even if a regular customer confronted her, it was her responsibility to resolve the issue.
“Now that I’ve traced it back to Snowleaf, let’s have Ms. Shield assist me with an experiment.”
Melody’s voice was calm, but her clear, bright eyes reflected a hint of darkness.
She had always believed in the principle of staying out of others‘ affairs.
However, if someone insisted on provoking her, she wouldn’t hesitate to retaliate.
Suzanna sensed the transformation of the Melody before her; her elegant poise radiated an undeniable authority.
Though she was smiling, the look in her eyes was icy, sending a chill through Suzanna’s spine.
Instinctively, she wanted to flee from Regal Glade, but it was too late.
Suzanna’s delicate shoulders shrank slightly as she looked up at Melody. Her eyes wide with fear and glistening with tears. Her pale lips trembled as she stammered, “Mel, I don’t understand what you’re saying.
“But you shouldn’t hurt Derrick and Ken like this. Weren’t you always fond of Ken? I know you fought hard to marry in my place. Now that he has come looking for you, why don’t you reconcile?
“Ken has been hurting since he lost you,” she added, attempting to shift Melody’s focus onto Kenrick.
They had grown up together, inseparable since childhood.
Especially after Martin’s accident, it seemed Melody had relied on Kenrick for emotional support, growing increasingly dependent on him, while Kenrick gradually grew distant.
What Melody didn’t realize was that every time Kenrick visited the Shields, he would sneak into Suzanna’s room to check on her frail state before or after seeing her.
Hearing Suzanna bring up Kenrick, Melody’s gaze turned frosty. She smirked.
–
Shield, you know full well that I’m married. Why do you mention my past with Kenrick in front of my husband and in–laws and encourage me to elope with him? What are your true intestions?
Besides, Kenrick and I never crossed any lines. But you and he—do you think I’m unaware of the fact that every time he visits the mansion, he spends at least half an hour in your
room?” She continued sharply.

“Compared to the time he spends under the sun tending to herbs with me, his visits to your room might leave plenty of time for whatever it is he shouldn’t be doing.
“You say he’s in pain because he lost me?” Melody laughed softly.
“He’s the one who asked me not to target you after two months apart, Suzanna. Do you really think anyone would believe you two are innocent?”
From beginning to end, Melody maintained a casual demeanor, yet each word she spoke landed like a bombshell among the onlookers.
In an instant, Kenrick’s polished image crumbled to dur
Kenrick’s face turned ashen due to his anger.
Suzanna stood frozen in place.
She had meticulously planned her accusations for today, but the one thing she hadn’t anticipated was that Melody already knew about her ambiguous relationship with Kenrick.
Now, in front of so many prominent figures from Sommerville, Melody had publicly exposed her.
Was she deliberately ruining her reputation?
No, it was Melody who truly deserved this fate.
Kenrick had remained silent until now. He felt as if he had plunged into an icy abyss because of Melody’s words.
He looked at her, his eyes filled with disbelief, the slap mark on his cheek still stinging fiercely.
He took a deep breath, a mixture of sincerity and disappointment reflected in his eyes as he said, “Mel, I know you’re jealous, but there has to be a limit.
“Suzie is your sister. I’m just checking in on her when she’s unwell; there’s nothing sordid about our relationship,” he added defensively.
Of course, Melody knew they hadn’t reached that stage yet, but the implications hung heavily in the air.
