Chapter 22 Revenge Begins


    As Bryan and Lena entered, Mnie immediately caught a familiar scent of perfume. It was the same one she used.


    She could not help but smirk. Mnie recalled how after she had questioned Bryan twice about the scent of a woman’s perfume


    on him, Lena tried to deceive her by asking her about her perfume, iming that she liked it too.


    Since then, Lena had been using the same perfume as Mnie, making it convenient for Lena to engage in an affair with Bryan.


    Lena, unaware of Mnie’s thoughts, approached her with a conciliatory tone. “Mel, I’ve invited Bryan today to set things


    straight. Let''s not hold any grudges.”


    Mnie responded sarcastically, “I obtained the invite for the International Socialites G. Is that not something you''ll hold a


    grudge over?


    Lena waved her hands and feigned a smile. “Of course not, I’m genuinely happy for you.”


    At that moment, Bryan approached and embraced Mnie in an overbearing manner, eximing, “Mel, being intoxicated was


    the cause of these misunderstandings. | promise | won''t ever drink that much again. Please believe me, Mel. | love only you. Ina


    few days, we''ll have our engagement ceremony again.”


    It was amazing how love could reduce one’s intelligence to none. Mnie could not believe she had fallen for Bryan’s act in the

    She took a deep breath to control her frustration.


    Bryan continued to talk, thinking she fell for his act. “Tomorrow is the anniversary of the West Corp, Mel. My father will officially


    announce my entry into the board in front of the media. I’ll be able to give you a better life starting then!”


    Anticipating the benefits, Bryan eagerly continued, “So, can you apany me tomorrow morning, Mel? It will help dispel the


    media''s suspicions...”


    Mnie reluctantly nodded, gritting her teeth.


    Bryan was thrilled by her response and kissed her on the cheeks in excitement. “Great! Don’t worry, Mel. In a few days, I''ll have


    an even bigger surprise for you at the engagement ceremony!”


    “Great,” Mnie responded, blinking with a glint of cold determination in her eyes. “I’m going to prepare a big surprise for you


    too!”


    While Bryan was hugging Mnie, Lena yed along with the act and said, “I’m d you made up! I’m so happy for the both of


    you!”


    Mnie concealed her intentions beneath her icy smile.


    Just then, Bryan''s assistant entered the room in a panic.


    “Sir, we have a problem! The male lead in Miss Lena’s recent film debunked the rumors and said that he never had any intimate


    scenes


    with her. The haters are using this as an opportunity to stir up controversy! They dug up all the scripts Miss Lena had received


    and


    imed that there was no such scene. The Inte is in an uproar! Reporters are gathering downstairs, and the crowd is


    growing!”


    Lena grabbed the assistant’s phone and quickly skimmed through the online news. She was worried out of her mind. Her falsies


    fluttered as she asked, “What should we do, Mel?”


    They would only think of Mnie when there was trouble.


    Mnie bit her lower lip and said, “I''ll take you to a safe ce first. As for the media, I''ll think of something.”


    Bryanforted Lena. “Don’t worry. Mnie will take care of it.”


    Mnie did not waste any time and took Lena out the back door and drove away. Once they were in the car, Mnie


    immediately


    messaged Annie: [It’s time.]


    Annie replied within seconds, (Got it! It’s time to show what I’ve got!]


    After driving for a while, Mnie looked in the rearview mirror with suspicion and asked the driver, “Is someone following us?”

    The driver slowed down and observed for a moment. He replied, “It seems so. | nose two cars have been following us since we


    left the


    Office.”


    Lena panicked and kept looking behind. She asked in a panic, “What should we do? It must be the paparazzi!”


    Mnie, gazing out of the window, thought for a moment. “The West Corp''s office is just ahead. They have a security team so


    you can hide there for a while. I''ll continue driving and divert the paparazzi.”


    Lena did not have any better ideas, so she agreed to Mnie’s n. Mnie dropped her off at the West Corp''s office.


    Though it was after work hours, the security at the West Corp recognized Lena and knew of her rtionship with Bryan, so no


    one tried to stop her. Using Bryan’s ess card, Lena slipped into his office.
