Chapter 30 

When Melanie got home, Darrin was already there indeed. 

Angie sat on the sofa casually and looked at Melanie with a smile. 

“Stop smiling. What the hell happened last night?” 

“Well, we saw our Buddha statue, right? So I wanted to take it up and touch it. 

“But there was a black thing on the base. As soon as I put my hand on it, I lost 

consciousness.” 

Angie looked at Melanie aggrievedly. She didn’t want to hold them back as well. She was gonna help them. 

“It was an electric box.” 

Darrin who had been keeping silent said, “A high–voltage pulse of millions of volts. It can kill people instantly.” 

Hearing that, Angie’s face turned pale with fear. 

Melanie was also scared. 

“That’s so vicious.” 

“Ms. Robertson, I went into Steve’s bedroom and found this last night.” 

Then Darrin took out a photo. 

It was an old photo. 

. Steve looked like a 

In the handsome young man with a woman in long hair standing beside him. 

The woman was also young and charming, looking like Vanessa. 

“This photo was put in the bedside table. It seems that Steve will take it out to look at it from time to time,” said Darrin. 

“Anything else?” 

“Steven’s study was extremely well–guarded. There were two safes of different

sizes, but before I could check them…” 

Then Darrin glanced at Angie. 

“Ms. Robertson, I’ll go there again tonight.” 

“No.” Melanie shook her head. 

“The Robertson family has called the police. Maybe they’re waiting for you to step into the trap. 

“We have been focusing on Beloris all the time. Maybe we should try other directions.” 

Then Melanie wrote down the word “Eistar” on the paper. 

“Ms. Robertson, you mean we’re gonna go to Eistar.” 

“Yes. Darrin, get ready for it and we’re going to Eistar in a few days. I heard that Tracy is also from that city. Let’s get everything clear together.” 

“Yes, Ms. Robertson.” 

After Darrin left, Melanie grabbed Angie and began to check her pulse. 

“Melanie, can you really treat people? Don’t fool me.” 

“Nonsense. I can’t treat people, but I can tell whether you are sick or not.” 

Melanie was still holding Angie’s arm. 

“By the way, Melanie. How did you know Vanessa wasn’t pregnant last time? Did you know it from her pulse?” 

“I just guessed, in order to let William leave and find out the emergency exit of that building.” 

Then Melanie continued the diagnosis with Angie’s other arm. 

“That’s a good guess, then.” 

Angie smiled and said, “Have you figured out what’s wrong with me? Have I become an electric superwoman due to the electric shock?”

Chapter 30 

“You wish. You are absolutely fine.” 

Melanie withdrew her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. 

After a rest, they went to Rising Star in the afternoon. 

Not long after they sat down, the Creative Department sent them the photos of the items in this Spring Auction. 

Suddenly, a photo attracted Melanie’s attention. 

It was a jade statue of the Buddha, or to be precise, it was a photo of that Buddha 

statue. 

In the photo, the Buddha was looking down with his eyebrows and eyes lowered. 

His right hand was raised and his wide sleeve had covered most of his face, leaving only half of his right eye. 

The whole Buddha statue had smooth lines and was exquisitely crafted. It didn’t. look like a fake at all. 

“The Buddha’s clothes were covering his face, and his eyes were lowering.” 

This Buddha statue had been put in Melanie’s mother’s studio in the Robertson residence ever since she could remember. 

Melanie’s mother said that this Buddha statue was her grandfather’s favorite. treasure, and there was only one in the world. 

At that time, Melanie insisted on staying in Beloris, so her grandfather gave her this Buddha statue. 

Melanie thought, ‘If the one in the storeroom in the Robertson residence is genuine, then this one must be a fake. 

‘But if the one in the Robertson residence is a fake, where does this one come 

from?” 

Melanie checked the owner of this Buddha statue and found that he was just an ordinary collector. 

He got this collection after being introduced by someone eight years ago. 

Chapter 30 

Now he wanted to sell it as soon as possible because his youngest son was getting 

married. 

Melanie wrote down a question mark on the photo and then asked Jeff to call the director of the Creative Department to come over.  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As soon as Melanie put down the phone, Angie came in screaming. 

“Melanie, I have some big news.” 

Melanie pinched her eyebrows. 

“What kind of big news is worth you making such a fuss?” 

“I’ve got two. First, Steve called the police and reported that the Buddha statue, agalloch bead and several paintings were stolen last night. Second, Vanessa is awake.” 

Melanie was stunned for a second. “The Buddha statue?” 

“Yes.” 

Melanie thought for a while and said affirmatively, “Steve must be framing others. But why did he do that?” 

“In order to divert others‘ attention? There’s nothing he can’t do, anyway.” 

Angie lay on the sofa with her legs crossed pleasantly. 

Melanie shook her head. 

“You said that Vanessa was awake?” 

“Yes, she has woken up and even called the police. She said it was you who beat her.” 

Angie shook her crossed legs. 

“Then is the police coming soon?” 

“No. The police called me just now and asked a few questions. Nothing happened.” 

Seeing Melanie’s confused eyes, Angie smiled. 

Chapter 30 

“The title of the Lambert family is really useful. I can finally be relieved.” 

“What does it have anything to do with the Lambert family?” 

“Melanie, this is your problem. You never read the news. Now everyone has known that you’re Roderick’s love.” 

Angie chuckled. 

“What did you say?” 

“Melanie, don’t panic. I think it’s good. With the Lambert family backing you up, you have nothing to be afraid of in Beloris, and you can dispose of whoever you 

want.” 

“Nonsense. Are you lying to me?” 

“No. What happened that day was such a big issue. The people of the Smith family have seen that in person.” 

Melanie was stunned for a second and then waved her hand. 

“Forget about it. Now that Vanessa is awake, tell Jordon that we can start the plan 

now.” 

“Okay.”
