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 nfor 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.

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.

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 cwith us now!" Her hands got cuffed, and her objection was unheard.She had no choice but to obey.
