Based on the information provided by Felicia, finding the loan shark known as Lance in Khogend wasn't difficult.
Following the clues, Melvin's ncto light.
On the other end of the phone, the investigator continued, "Mr. Fuller, the last contact in Lance's phone was
Melvin. We found out that before Ms. Felicia was kidnapped, Melvin had visited the Fuller residence.... "The
investigator didn't elaborate further. Since there were surveillance cameras inside and outside the Fuller
residence, it was easy to find out who Melvin had seen during his visit.
In fact, it was common knowledge.
This was particularly noteworthy because Melvin's pursuit of Kayla had been a hot topic for a while.
At that moment, Dexter and Myra both turned to Kayla, Kay, what's going on?"

Kayla didn't expect that her earlier actions would cback to bite her at this moment. But there was no way
she would admit to anything.
She pouted, putting on an innocent face. "Melvin cto check onbecause he heard | was sick. What's
wrong with that?"
While her explanation seemed reasonable, the timing felt too coincidental. Myra recalled how Kayla had hinted
that Felicia's kidnapping might have been staged, even using the twin sisters as an example.
However, this theory could easily be applied to Kayla as well. The younger sister resented the elder and sought
help from an outsider to target her sister...
Myra was taken aback by the thought
That couldn't be true. She had raised Kayla, so she knew her personality well.
Kayla was kind-hearted and innocent, too gentle to even harm a small animal, let alone her own family. This had
to be Melvin acting on his own.
Myra grabbed Dexter's hand firmly. She said in a low voice, "We need to go to the Chavez residence and demand
an explanation."
"Wait..."
Dexter pulled Myra back. "Right now, we've only traced a potential lead. There's no concrete evidence. Unless
we find Lance and get him to confirm whether Melvin was involved, they could easily twist it. around and accuse
us of slander." Myra was trembling with anger. "So what you're saying is that even if we find this Lance, how
could he possibly testify against Melvin when he's just his lackey?"
It felt like a fruitless circle; nothing was going to work.
Dexter sighed and said, "Darling, calm down. I'll find a way to resolve this. | promise we'll get to the bottom of
this for you and Felicia."
"Even if you do find a way, we're still stuck with this loss, aren't we? The Chavez family is one of the four
prestigious families. If we confront them, we'll be the ones who suffer."
As the couple's argument intensified, the maid remained silent. Meanwhile, Kayla sat there looking wronged and
teary-eyed.
Felicia watched calmly, as if she were an outsider enjoying the show.

It felt like the two were putting on a performance. It seemed they were arguing for her benefit, but every word
was clearly aimed at her.
Felicia tossed her spoon onto the table with a sharp clatter and said, "Don't pushto flip this table."
Myra and Dexter abruptly stopped and turned to Felicia. "Licia, it's our fault..."
"Stop right there." Felicia crossed her arms, her gaze scrutinizing and dismissive.
"I've never known this Melvin. Why would he want to kill me? That's what we should be focusing on. Don't try to
shift the blor change the subject."
The attempts to shift focus and change the subject were all aimed at protecting Kayla.
Both Myra and Dexter relentlessly directed their anger toward Melvin, trying to distract from any blthat
could fall on Kayla.
They wanted Felicia to believe that Melvin was responsible for the attempt on her life, making it seem as if Kayla
had nothing to do with it.
