Chapter 57: Melany's heart skipped a beat as she took in the words.
No way! Years ago, she had invested a fortune in tracking down Scarlet Serpent.
Everything pointed to the fact that Scarlet Serpent was an elusive figure in his sixties, someone who had disappeared from the spotlight.
Plus, at the time, Allison was nothing more than a penniless orphan stranded on a desert island.
There was no way she could afford to travel to Leswington to enter a big competition, let alone learn the art of perfumery.
I'm not Scarlet Snake, Melany admitted.
But I learned from her.
Over time, people began to confuse me with her, and it was impossible to clarify it.

There was no other option, with everyone watching.
If her carefully constructed facade collapsed here, it would be a disaster.
Melany tried to maintain her composure, avoiding looking at Colton beside her.
She dug her nails into her palms, using the pain to stay calm and resist Allison's provocation.
Allison said, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear, feigning calm.

There was no way you could afford to travel abroad, much less study the craft.
Her words stirred the crowd.
