Chapter 159

Melanie only averted her gaze after Lily‘s car disappeared into the distance. She turned to hold Frank‘s
arm as she said, “You promised you would give me what I want.”

“What‘s wrong?” Frank said, patting her cheek.

“I want to ruin Lily so badly that she would never want to be in the public‘s eyes again!” Although Lily‘s
car was nowhere in sight now, Melanie turned again to stare into the distance with resentment in her
gaze. , Frank‘s eyes followed her gaze. Smiling, he said, “I heard you two were classmates before. Is
that right?”

“Yeah, but I hate her more than anyone.” Melanie did not hide her emotions when speaking to Frank.

“Why?”

“Back when we were still in university, all my lecturers loved her, and they would give her all the
opportunities. Why? I am talented as well! She would always shine brighter whenever we participated
in the same contests. Even when it comes to love, she...” Melanie paused for a moment before
continuing, “I will never succeed with her around! She will always steal the limelight from me!”

She added, “You saw it too. Why did we have to meet her here in Middle Valley? She flew here first–
class and even had a luxurious car as her ride. Why does everyone treat her so nicely when her name
is already tainted? She‘s even involved in a lawsuit! This is so unfair!”

Smiling, Frank put his hand on her shoulder, massaging it lightly. “She might be luckier than most, but
your luck isn‘t that bad either. You met me.” Upon hearing what he said, Melanie felt slightly better and
snuggled into his embrace. “You have to help me! You‘ll do that, right?”



“I told you that you‘ll get what you want as long as I am satisfied with what you give me,” he said
profoundly, kissing her hair.

“Yeah.” Melanie nodded obediently.

Frank drove steadily on the roads, but after a while, he still did not see any high–rise buildings
belonging to the city. Instead, he was still traveling along the endless paddy fields.

“It‘s so far.” Melanie could not help but express herself. She did not remember the journey being this
long when they came. While she was talking, the car came to a stop. “What‘s wrong? Did the car break
down?” she asked in confusion, eyes scanning the surroundings.

With one hand on the steering wheel, Frank turned to look at her as he turned off the engine.

“F–Frank?” Seeing that familiar expression on his face, Melanie suddenly became anxious. She had a
bad feeling about this. “Mel,” he called her name and licked his lips. Melanie widened her eyes as she
pressed her back against the car door. Trembling, she said, “

Frank, this place is so deserted. I‘m a little scared. Can we return to the hotel first? When we’re back,
we can...”

Before she could finish her words, Frank had already grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him.
“It‘s so bland just to do it at the hotel. We should try doing it in different places.” Patiently, she said,
trying to convince him, “Frank, this place doesn‘t look safe. Plus, other people might come over here
later. How about we...”

“Isn‘t it more exciting this way?” Frank‘s eyes were bright, and he cared nothing about Melanie‘s
concern.

“No, Frank. I’m scared. Let‘s go back...”
