Lilia looked up in surprise. Her expression brightened when she heard Mellisa's suggestion. "I agree. We'd better do this in an official way so there's no doubt." Lilia answered with a relieved smile. Mellisa watched Lilia for a while, but the model just stared back looking a bit confused. Mellisa smiled a little while shaking her head. Others might not be able to believe Mellisa's story and demand that she prove her identity first. But Lilia was different. The woman believed her story with all…

The day I escaped death. Mellisa said the sentence in a calm and even voice, but it actually sent chills to her listeners. Only someone who had a close call with death could speak of it so calmly. Lilia's gaze was fixed on Mellisa, as if she was afraid that the woman would disappear if she blinked. Even Jean forgot his jealousy, and only kept quiet and tolerated Lilia's attitude. "Can you tell me about the accident in more detail?" Lilia spoke up for the first time since they arrived at this…

Hearing Andrew's words, Lilia's eyes widened in shock, 'Died in an accident… five years ago?' She immediately turned her head towards Mellie— Mellisa. If Andrew's words were correct, then Mellie was the oldest daughter of the Irwan Family! Lilia had already guessed that this woman had something to do with the Irwan Family. But she did not think that Mellie had such a great identity. Even Jean couldn't keep his flat face and narrowed his eyes when he heard that. His razor sharp gaze fell upon…

Jean didn't say anything more, but his hands continued to caress her hand to calm her down. From Lilia's attitude, Jean knew that the woman that got arrested was someone important to his wife. He wouldn't let anyone interfere with their relationship! Meanwhile, Lilia went back to thinking about what Mellie said before she was arrested. Her gaze automatically turned to Andrew who was sitting beside her. The Austin Family and the Irwan Family were great friends, so the man should have recognized Mellie if…

Lilia shifted nervously in her chair. Her gaze swept across the interrogation room where she was currently in. Apart from her, there was only a senior policeman in that room. The policeman stared at Lilia closely. The middle-aged man's hand held the victim's report about Mellie's assault last night. He cleared his throat before asking, "Miss Lilia, you claim that you are the suspect's sister?" "Yes, true." Lilia nodded and tried to look confident, "I'm her sister." The senior policeman let out a…

Mellie just stared at Lilia without saying anything for a few moments. Her eyes were fixed on the model's expression, as if waiting for her to change her mind. But when Lilia looked back at her confidently, Mellie slightly smiled. The short haired woman raised her coffee cup as she asked, "Why are you so sure that I am a member of the Irwan Family?" "Intuition." Lilia answered without hesitation. Hearing that answer, Mellie's laughter suddenly exploded. Her loud laughter made the cafe visitors…

That night, before Mellie could reply to Lilia's message, they had just stormed someone's house to collect a debt. They had a fight with security that was called by the host. As a result, Mellie's beautiful face was bruised and there were torn sores on her lips. But this was a common thing for Mellie. She leaned back on the bed staring at her cell phone screen. When she read the sentence "What are you doing?" from Lilia, the corners of her mouth automatically lifted into a wide smile. Although the…

After printing the information in threefold at Alan's orders, Rachel made sure that she didn't leave any traces. Then she paid the shop owner before leaving. Her next destination was a pharmacy. She didn't know what kind of stomachache medicine Alan needed, so she bought three different types of them. Then she immediately returned to the hotel. It had been fifteen minutes since Alan sent her. Rachel arrived at room 2089 precisely after that. She took a deep breath before ringing the room's bell. Seconds…

Lilia smiled at Jean's reaction, "Shocking, huh? I also asked if she was from the Irwan Family. But you know what she said to me?" The woman took Jean's hand and pressed it against her cheek. For a moment, Lilia's expression was very sad. "Mellie said she wasn't that lucky. But when I heard her words, I had a hunch that she had something to do with the Irwan Family. Because her expression at that time… looked bitter… and hurt." Lilia's voice shrank to a whisper. She didn't know what happened…

The night wind blew past, blowing the fallen leaves on the road. The pedestrians passing by sometimes turned their heads when they realized the similarity in their appearance. But the two women ignored them all. Mellie looked closely at Lilia. Her gaze was full of nostalgia, as if she was looking at someone who wasn't Lilia. "Do you live in Jakarta?" Mellie asked, tucking a hand in her pocket. Lilia shook her head, "I come from Surabaya." The conversation between them stopped again. Even though…
