Someone suddenly called out toas I headed downstairs to leave Arkadia Plaza. "Miss, please wait." I turned around to see the man who had been with Vicky. He was walking towardwith a bag in his hand. I raised an eyebrow as I asked, "You called me?" "Yes, Miss. I apologize for what happened today." He smiled, but there was a mysterious glint in his eyes. He handedthe bag, saying, "This dress was originally something you liked. A gentleman does not take away what someone loves. Take this as my apology to you." I was a bit surprised. A gentleman? That was unlikely.

He extended his hand and insisted, "I don't mean anything by it. Vicky was being impulsive just now and offended you. I sincerely want to apologize. Please accept this, Miss." I remained unmoved and looked at him coldly. "I'll accept your apology, but you can keep the gift. We're not acquainted." "We can get acquainted after meeting a few more times. Foswood isn't that big of a place," he said daringly. "May I know your name?" I looked at him disdainfully. "I'm sorry, sir. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." I didn't bother to continue awkwardly talking to him and went down the escalator indifferently.
That man was being generous. The dress he gavemust have been very expensive. Arkadia Plaza was a luxury shopping mall, and the women's clothing section on the fourth floor featured globally renowned brands. I had casually glanced at the price tag of that dress, and it was astonishingly high. I could afford it, but the cost would pinch.
That man was extravagant, he wanted to give something worth tens of thousands of dollars to a stranger. Did he think I was a shallow woman? What a joke.
I remembered Vicky calling him Melvern. Could he be Melvern Sunny? It couldn't be a coincidence.
Was he the mastermind behind Liora? My mind raced. Was he back in Foswood? He should be with Liora. What role did Vicky play in all of this? This was interesting.
If Melvern had returned to Foswood, there had to be a connection with Liora. He must have cback for a reason. I couldn't believe he would casualty invest large sums of money in Liora. There had to be a motive behind it.

"Chloe."
"Do you have pictures of Melvern Sunny?" asked Grayson. "I want to confirm something about him, And helpcheck his details and senda comprehensive report." en.swhovels
"Sure." Grayson's response was prompt, and I could tell he already had what needed.
Before I reached the car, I received a file on my phone. I quickly found my car, gotin, and fold the driver, "Head to the company." I eagerly unlocked my phone. Grayson had sentthe information.
When I opened the file, the first thing that greetedwas Melvern's picture I raised an eyebrow ar ne? at his face-it was the man from earlier.
