Chapter 1630 Stephen Knows That Melanie Is Lying
Melanie retorted in intense fear, “Y-You are lying! You are only making this up!” Seek me out for payback? A dead person can’t come back alive! No, it can’t be!
Turning a deaf ear to Melanie’s words, Rose glared at her and raised her hand to knock on the door. After that, she turned and walked away.
“Vixen, did I ask you to knock on the door? Mind your own business!” Melanie bellowed at her retreating figure.
The door of the room opened right after her bellow of rage.
Gazing at Stephen, who stood by the door in casual wear, she called out to him affectionately, “Ah! Stephen…”
He looked at her with an odd expression. Without uttering any words, he turned to walk back to his room.
Clenching her fists, she caught up to him and put on a broad smile as she explained earnestly, “Stephen, I’m sorry. I stepped out last night to look for you, but I couldn’t find you. I ended up dozing off in the garden as I was exhausted. By the time I woke up again, it’s already broad daylight!”
Furrowing his brows, Stephen stared at her more weirdly. She was in the next room last night, lying next to the man. I couldn’t have mistaken her colorful toenails and her voice when she was calling out to him. How dare she lie to me now, huh! Pfft! I’ve apparently been fooled by her all this while! Why didn’t I discover that earlier?
Melanie asked him excitedly, “Stephen, have you taken your breakfast? If not, let’s go for it together then.”
Nevertheless, Stephen remained silent without shifting his gaze away, giving her goosebumps.
“What’s wrong? You must be worried about me and couldn’t sleep well as I didn’t come back last night. I’m sorry. I promise I won’t do that again.” Melanie was still making excuses to cover her tracks.
Stephen let out a sigh. Instead of arguing with her, he cut to the chase. “You can have this room all to yourself. I’ll move to another room. It’s up to you if you want to check out and fly back any time! Let’s cut ties and have no truck with each other again!”
Melanie was flabbergasted. It never occurred to her that Stephen would ever be so determined.
She continued to wail, “Stephen, it’s not what you think it is. I was set up by that vixen. She told me that you were in her room at that time. I tried to call you, but you didn’t answer my call. Hence, I got worked up and rushed to her room to look for you. Little did I realize that I’d fall into her trap! Stephen, you must trust me! I was framed! If you don’t believe it, you can check with the staff at the front desk. I’d checked with her Rose’s room number before rushing there to look for you. Who would’ve known that it turned out to be another man’s room! I was set up! I’m a victim too!”
“Front desk? I’d checked with the staff last night because you were not in the room when I was back. She told me you requested the handsome man’s room number!” Stephen raised his voice.
Handsome man?
“No, it’s not true! I asked for Rose’s room number! The staff at the front desk was bluffing! Let me go and confront her now!” She stormed toward the door after saying that.
Bang! When she was about to step out of the room, she crashed into a wall of flesh.
“Melanie, I’m here to visit you. See? You left your bracelet on the bed last night,” the man uttered gleefully.
Melanie glared at him with her flaring eyes. “It’s you! You’re in cahoots with that despicable Rose to set me up! You’re the one!”
