Chapter


    35


    Based on the information provided by Felicia, finding the loan shark known as Lance in Khogend wasn''t difficult. Following the clues, Melvin''s name came to light.


    On the other end of the phone, the investigator continued, "Mr. Fuller, thest contact in Lance''s phone was Melvin. We found out that before Ms. Felicia was kidnapped, Melvin had visited the Fuller residence.... "The investigator didn''t borate further. Since there were surveince cameras inside and outside the Fuller residence, it was easy to find out who Melvin had seen during his visit.


    In fact, it wasmon knowledge.


    This was particrly noteworthy because Melvin''s pursuit of Ka had been a hot topic for a while.


    At that moment, Dexter and Myra both turned to Ka, Kay, what''s going on?"


    Ka didn''t expect that her earlier actions woulde back to bite her at this moment. But there was no way she would admit to anything.


    She pouted, putting on an innocent face. "Melvin came to check on me because he heard I was sick. What''s wrong with that?"


    While her exnation seemed reasonable, the timing felt too coincidental. Myra recalled how Ka had hinted that Felicia''s kidnapping might have been staged, even using the twin sisters as an example.


    However, this theory could easily be applied to Ka as well. The younger sister resented the elder and sought help from an outsider to target her sister...


    Myra was taken aback by the thought


    That couldn''t be true. She had raised Ka, so she knew her personality well.


    Ka was kind-hearted and innocent, too gentle to even harm a small animal, let alone her own family. This had to be Melvin acting on his own.


    Myra grabbed Dexter''s hand firmly. She said in a low voice, "We need to go to the Chavez residence and demand an exnation."


    "Wait..."


    Dexter pulled Myra back. "Right now, we''ve only traced a potential lead. There''s no concrete evidence. Unless we find Lance and get him to confirm whether Melvin was involved, they could easily twist it. around and use us of nder." Myra was trembling with anger. "So what you''re saying is that even if we find this Lance, how could he possibly testify against Melvin when he''s just hisckey?"


    It felt like a fruitless circle; nothing was going to work.


    Dexter sighed and said, "Darling, calm down. I''ll find a way to resolve this. I promise we''ll get to the bottom of this for you and Felicia."


    "Even if you do find a way, we''re still stuck with this loss, aren''t we? The Chavez family is one of the four prestigious families. If we confront them, we''ll be the ones who suffer."


    As the couple''s argument intensified, the maid remained silent. Meanwhile, Ka sat there looking wronged and teary-eyed.


    Felicia watched calmly, as if she were an outsider enjoying the show.


    It felt like the two were putting on a performance. It seemed they were arguing for her benefit, but every word was clearly aimed at her.


    Felicia tossed her spoon onto the table with a sharp tter and said, "Don''t push me to flip this table."


    Myra and Dexter abruptly stopped and turned to Felicia. "Licia, it''s our fault..."


    "Stop right there." Felicia crossed her arms, her gaze scrutinizing and dismissive.


    "I''ve never known this Melvin. Why would he want to kill me? That''s what we should be focusing on. Don''t try to shift the me or change the subject."


    The attempts to shift focus and change the subject were all aimed at protecting Ka.


    Both Myra and Dexter relentlessly directed their anger toward Melvin, trying to distract from any me that could fall on Ka.


    They wanted Felicia to believe that Melvin was responsible for the attempt on her life, making it seem as if Ka had nothing to do with it.
