"Understood," Melanie replied, a hint of satisfaction flashing in her eyes as she stood up and left the room.

Sasha also rose and followed her mother out of the villa.

As they stepped into the dark night, Melanie took Sasha's hand, her face filled with relief. "Sasha, my dear daughter, you've finally helped me get rid of this major threat."

Melanie nodded again, clearly pleased. "Well done. You should also try to get closer to Aveline. It's clear Lucas is very fond of her. If we maintain a good relationship with her, our family stands to gain a lot."
