Chapter 39:How could Allison be so ruthless? She did this on purpose! My hair is ruined... Melany's eyes were
brimming with tears as she clutched the shaved locks, feeling an overwhelming sense of loss.
She had meticulously cared for her long black hair to maintain her image as the epitof sweetness and
innocence, only for Allison to destroy it.
She's trying to kill me.
I'm sure, Melany cried, and her sobs brought forth a torrent of compassion.
Her tears were not just for show.
She felt really threatened, convinced that Allison might resort to murder.
She's not that skilled.
Calm down, Colton soothed, rubbing her back as his own heart raced in fear.
The chilling breeze and menacing intent seemed almost palpable, as if the knife had been pointed directly at his
brain, ready to end his life.
The eerie sensation left him drenched in cold sweat.
Melany was not comforted by Colton's reassuring words.

He continued sobbing, his voice shaking.
But he really attacked us without a hint of mercy.
It's too much.
| may be fine, but | shouldn't have hurt you.
You weren't married once.
He doesn't understand the effort you made publicly humiliating yourself and endangering our relationships.
She doesn't appreciate everything you do for the company, and now even Mr.
Lloyd might misunderstand our situation.
What are we going to do? Colton, already seething from the day's events, found his thoughts tangled in chaos.
Enough, he said, his patience wearing thin.
What Kellan Really Matters Even without your support, the Stevens Group will endure.
| hear that the fourth International Perfumery Competition will be held next month, organized by the Everett
Group.
I'll find the right tto relate.
Suddenly, an idea struck Colton, changing his mood.
I'm sorry, Melany.
Today | went too far because of my mood, he told her softly, wiping the tears from her eyes.
You've been through a lot.
| promise I'll make it up to you.
Melany nodded, leaning into his embrace.
It's okay, Colton.
| don't care, but | feel sorry for you.
Colton placed a tender kiss on her forehead.
Melany, | remember you were the champion of the perfumery contest a few years ago.
Do you remember that Melany asked, surprised.
Of course, | remember everything about you, Colton said with a smile.
Before Melany could fully appreciate his words, Colton added: So, could you helpthis time? If you make it to
the finals in this perfumery contest, we could get sponsorship from the Everett Group and maybe even meet
their CEO.

Melany blinked as she took in.
her request.
But Colton's soft plea was irresistible, and she nodded weakly.
1 will do what I can.
He remembered his first anonymous international competition.
Despite his efforts, he had not reached the final.
Later, by chance, he discovered the basic recipe for the champion's perfand spent almost two years
perfecting it to obtain a product that was 80% similar.
The champion, known as Scarlet Snake, was an elderly person, almost sixty years old, of unknown sex.
Scarlet Snake had disappeared in recent years and had not competed again.
Melany used Scarlet Snake's formula to produce a new mix and easily won the title.
Scarlet Snake had been missing for years and Melany thought that using the formula again would go unnoticed.
| knew you were my savior.
With your skills, you will surely outshine everyone! Colton smiled, pulling her closer.
Even without Kellan, Colton felt confident he could land a collaboration with the Everett Group.
