As Amanda sat across from Melody in the tea house, her face drained of color.
What is Suzanna up to?

She had clearly indicated that her card was frozen and had turned to Amanda for assistance with a temporary financial setback.
To keep things under wraps, Amanda had cautiously referenced a rather forgettable suitor, Ned Bourn, to navigate the situation discreetly.
However, she was acutely aware that since she had a part in this, this matter could explode in her face at
any moment.
With the Moores‘ considerable influence, it was inevitable they would trace the matter back to her.
The real question lingered: Would the Moores show any leniency toward her grandfather and spare the Jensons from losing their status as a respected family?
A few moments later, Bernard spoke up gravely, “Mrs. Melody, I have uncovered some information
“Everyone here received an anonymous transfer two days ago. I managed to breach the hacker’s firewall and trace the source.
“It originates from the youngest son of the Bourns, Ned. Interestingly, Ned was on the same flight as Ms. Jenson when he returned last week, and he happens to be a classmate and admirer of Ms. Jenson from their studies abroad.”
Amanda was blindsided by Bernard exposing her so easily with no regard for the Jensons.
Outraged and embarrassed, she shot a frigid glare at Bernard, her eyes sharp with fury.
“You’re just a pawn for the Moores; how dare you tarnish my reputation!
“It’s all just baseless conjecture–how can that be taken seriously?”
Both Amanda and Suzanna were astute; clever individuals always made sure there was no incriminating evidence left in their wake.
Melody glanced at Amanda, anticipating her defensive retort.
Yet, despite their meticulous planning, they had underestimated human nature!
It was much harder to pry information from the true instigator than from the scapegoat.
Melody exchanged a knowing look with Edward, and together, they took a casual sip of their tea, projecting an air of indifference.
But Edward shot a significant glance at Bernard, who immediately understood and reached out to Brandon, Bernard’s older brother.
The two brothers usually operated in tandem, with one working in the shadows and the other in the light.

With Brandon in charge of this situation, it was likely that the Moores would choose to let the matter slide for the time being.
Melody remained composed in the tea house, her gaze fixed on Amanda’s strained attempt at calmness.

sip.
With an air of serenity, the young woman seemed peaceful, yet a glint of mischief sparkled in her eyes: Bernard treated her well, and she considered him a friend–no one foolish enough would dare to insult
her.
This was a debt she would not forget!
Melody’s lips curled into a slight smirk. “Ms. Jenson, why the rush?
“Let’s put aside Ned’s matter for now.
“While we’re discussing you, I’m curious about the exquisite porcelain tea set you brought back from Magliuca. Who is the esteemed artist behind it?
“For ages, our country has been a major producer of porcelain, yet I’ve never heard of anyone needing to import tea sets from Magliuca!”
Melody’s comments were already quite pointed.
However, the professors at the tea banquet, who had accepted Amanda’s porcelain tea set, began to fidget uncomfortably.
They were captivated by the art of tea and had admired the fine craftsmanship, but had overlooked the fact
that it had originated from Magliuca.
Of course, some professors hadn’t even bothered to truly accept it; they had initially taken it just to appease Percy, tossing it aside without even opening the box.
But now, with Melody’s words hanging in the air
