I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 453 Reclaiming the Trophy

Melanie rushed to the bathroom and was unable to stop vomiting for a while.

Initially, her morning sickness had almost subsided after three months, but yesterday’s events might have triggered it again.

When she finally felt her stomach settle down, she washed her face and looked up to see Yelena entering from outside, gesturing to ask how she was feeling.

“I'm fine, just an upset stomach,” Melanie replied.

After witnessing the death of someone with her own eyes yesterday, she had no intention of telling anyone in the York Family. Yelena began gesturing again, and after Melanie understood, she asked, “You're trying to tell me to trust you, right?”

Yelena nodded with satisfaction.

“Alright, | understand. If | need your help, I'll let you know,” Melanie said with a smile.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. “Miss Yelena, Miss Melanie, some guests have arrived.” “Who are they?” Melanie asked casually.

“It's the chief judge of the International Perfume Blending Competition and several perfumers,” the servant replied.

Robert?

Melanie frowned.

Yelena also understood and pointed to Melanie, then to herself.

“Pamela, Robert is here. It might be related to you,” Melanie said. “At the friendly match in Harbor City, his representative from Medonia lost. He might have been unable to accept it. He might be here because of that now that he knows your identity.”

Yelena agreed and nodded.

Just then, Melanie’s phone rang. It was Linda.

“Melanie, | heard you’re in Medonia again. When can we meet?” Linda also knew about her trip to Medonia?

+15 BONOS

Melanie blinked, quickly understanding Linda’s meaning. She decided to be straightforward and said, “Sorry, Miss Yancey, I’m at the York estate. | was free, but some senior figures from the perfume industry suddenly came to visit, so | can’t leave.”

“If you can’t leave, I'll come to you!” Linda’s tone was casual, and she laughed, “I just love getting involved in your perfume world affairs! Hahal”

After hanging up the call, Melanie said to Yelena, “Miss Yancey will come over later.”

Yelena was smart and understood Melanie’s meaning without explanation. She smiled and nodded.

Melanie and Yelena went out.

In the living room, Robert was drinking tea with Alden and several other perfumers from Medonia. The atmosphere seemed calm on the surface, but there were ripples underneath it.

Crash!

Sure enough, when Aiden was serving tea, whether intentionally or not, he accidentally shattered the teacup. However, he only muttered an apology.

As a servant stepped forward to clean up. Robert asked, “Alden, what's bothering you?”

Then, he turned to Joseph and said, “I’m really sorry. The person | brought broke your cup.” Joseph waved his hand while Leo sneered. “It’s just a cup. We're not short of those at home!” “Well that’s true. But Alden has been agitated lately and insisted on coming with me. He said Mr. York is a senior in the perfume industry, and there are some things he needs to say in front of a senior.”

Robert didn’t give up and gestured for Alden to speak.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Aiden was Robert's vanguard. Although he felt a bit nervous about badmouthing the young lady of

the York Family in front of them, he gritted his teeth and said, “Last time in Harbor City, | lost to a competitor named Pamela. Yesterday, | learned that Pamela is actually the young lady of the York Family.

“How can | accept the results of the competition? Pamela competed as a newcomer, but she was definitely not a newcomer! | came here today to talk to her. That trophy shouldn’t be hers!”

After Aiden finished speaking, he looked around nervously.

Yelena and Melanie sat nearby, with Joseph in the middle. No one responded to Aiden’s words, 15 BONOS

Melanie deliberately took a few steps to the side. She stood beside Leo and asked him in a low voice. “Do you know Robert well?”

“What do you want to know?” Leo asked.

“| noticed he doesn’t seem to tear Mr. York, but he showed great respect to Miss Yancey in the

competition last time?”

Melanie left the question hanging.

“Robert's father helped our family in the past, so my grandfather tolerates him. However, Robert has always tried to please the Yancey family. Miss Yancey Is someone he can’t afford to offend.”

Leo explained.

Melanie nodded, feeling reassured. She stepped forward and spoke for Yelena, “Should the trophy really belong to you?”

“| want to speak to Miss York,” Aiden retorted boldly.

“Miss York is currently undergoing treatment. When she can speak, she will definitely have a conversation with you!” Melanie retorted unapologetically.

“Fine, since you're representing her, I'll speak to you!” Alden saw Robert’s continuous hints and had to be assertive. “The trophy should rightfully pass on. | came in second place, so it should

belong to me too!

“You can go back and review the old recordings and compare Pamela’s and Yelena’s perfume techniques and concepts from back then. If they’re similar, the trophy will be yours for free!”

Melanie asserted confidently.

Aiden hesitated momentarily, and Melanie continued, “She has amnesia. She has forgotten everything, including her memory of perfume techniques. So when she competed as Pamela, it was perfectly fine.”

“This is absurd!” Aiden protested.

Suddenly, laughter, tinged with mockery, echoed from the entrance, and someone started speaking.

“As | see it, arguing like this won't solve anything. Melanie, why don’t you organize a perfume competition here? The more complicated the rules, the better.

“Simple perfume techniques are not allowed to be used! This way, you can also win a

championship and gain some reputation!”
