Hearing the answer, Mellisa almost lost her composure.
After Trisa finished speaking, she dragged her elbows and lifted her clasps, then she inhaled her cigarette. The gesture showed reckless arrogance.
At this time, Lilia's beautiful face sank, she couldn't accept it when she heard Trisa's taunts to Mellisa and immediately sneered. "Mrs. Trisa, you think loving Leila is something to be proud of? Why did you hate Mellisa that much?"
Trisa was stabbed by Lilia's mocking eyes. She glanced at Jean with a little trepidation and gritted her teeth then said, "Lilia, there is no place for you to talk! This is the business of our Irwan family, you guys from outside our family better not get involved!"
After those words fell, the eyes of the man beside Lilia turned gloomy and cold for a moment. He turned his head and stared at Trisa, his dark eyes showed as if he was capable of throwing his humanity aside for the woman beside him. Trisa suddenly shivered at his knife-sharp gaze.
"Oh...! I get it!" Hearing this, Lilia wasn't angry but smiled. She folded her legs and leaned back on the sofa, saying every word carefully. "Since we are not part of the Irwan family, it means we don't need to be shy about gossiping and talking about what happened in this room earlier. I'm sure the Irwan family would love to hear that you spent your day having sex in your own office."
Trisa didn't reply, her face was very ugly. She continued smoking, as if trying to hide her nervousness and anxiety.
Currently, the atmosphere in the office was quite deadlocked.
After Trisa finished smoking, she immediately took the cigarette box from the armrest of the sofa, as if she wanted to smoke one more.
However, a hand suddenly appeared and prevented— it was Mellisa's.
A hint of joy flashed through Trisa's eyes as she asked hesitantly, "Do you also want to smoke?"
"Seeing my aunt smoking so happily, I became interested in her cigarette, would you mind giving me one?" Mellisa's expression was very subtle. She obviously didn't take her cigarette box, she took the initiative to ask Trisa for a cigarette.
Seeing this, Trisa glanced at the other three. She then took out a cigarette from her cigarette box, then she handed it to Mellisa while commenting, "This is a cigarette that my friend gave me from abroad. It smells really strong, but it tastes really good… give it a try!"
Mellisa met her eyes flickering. She calmly took the cigarette, but she didn't smoke it right away. She just put it in her hand and played with it.
She then put the cigarette under her nose and sniffed it briefly… And her eyes suddenly changed.
Mellisa didn't say anything, she just stood for a moment and walked to the window at the far end of the office, then quickly opened the window wide.
On this cold night, the cold wind that slowly entered dispelled the warmth of the room and, at the same time, the smell of smoke at a quick pace.
After doing this, Mellisa took the mineral water on the table and took out some paper towels to moisten. Then she returned to the sofa and handed it to Lilia and the others. "Cover your mouth and nose, wait until the smell of smoke disappears! Hurry!"
Lilia was confused, but she still obeyed her words. Jean also blocked his mouth and nose with a tissue.
"You, quickly close your nose too! Don't just gawk like an idiot!" Even though Leonard was confused by Mellisa's change in attitude, he instinctively chose to believe her.
The man immediately hugged her and held the wet tissue paper gently in front of her nose. Mellisa then said to him, "This type of poison can't hurt me."
Poison?
Even Leonard couldn't help but glance at her when he heard this sentence.
This time, Mellisa was sitting again, still holding a cigarette in her hand.
She looked at Trisa lightly and said casually, "So you like to smoke marijuana, huh? Auntie?"
Leonard was shocked!
Lilia was confused, she turned her gaze to Mellisa and her breathing started to lighten.
Marijuana smoking sounded like a bad thing.
But how come this older sister could tell just from the smell?!
Lilia thought that it was magical, while Leonard felt…. horrified.
Leonard used to be a policeman, and he had a much broader understanding of these kinds of things than ordinary people,
So when he heard Mellisa's casual tone calling it a marijuana, the shock in his heart was like a floodgate suddenly opening its gate.
Although Leonard did not show too much expression, his arching palms still showed his emotions.
The woman sleeping next to his pillow every night could identify an illegal substance just by smelling it?!
At this moment, Trisa's face changed.
She even squeezed the pack of cigarettes out of shape, gripping it so hard.
Mellisa took her cigarette and turned it over, she raised her eyebrows with a smile and looked at Trisa lightly. "Auntie, why are you looking calm even though you gave us dangerous cigarettes? Do you want to trap us? Do you plan to act as you please once we lose consciousness?"
Trisa was scared, the horror that came from the bottom of her heart made her chest tight, "You… You..."
She thought she knew enough about everyone in the Irwan family, especially Mellisa.
Mellisa was always mud in everyone's eyes. She never liked reading or painting. From childhood, she was always seen as free and spent her time playing all day long. But all that led her to become a wild horse that ran out of control and even deemed useless.
But, this girl could reveal her trick with a single inhale!!
Mellisa showed an awful smile as she lifted her toes very comfortably. The two spheres emitted a cold aura and thick frost hit Trisa's body. "Auntie, you are so brave to possess this illegal substance, don't you know that this guy here is a police officer?"
Trisa's face became even paler. When she followed Mellisa's gaze, her gaze fell onto Leonard's face and she panicked in an instant.
Didn't he... have cut ties with his family and left for Surabaya?
Could it be that he was in Jakarta because he had become a police officer again?!
In fact, Trisa tried to investigate Leonard before, but nothing was found.
She always believed that maybe Leonard's family was not as big as her family so the man's family was less well known.
At the moment, it didn't matter whether his family status was good or bad, having a cop here was like a sharp knife pointed at her neck.
Trisa wanted to run, but it was too late.
She didn't even have time to get up, Mellisa put her folded legs down and rushed in front of her very quickly.
She stepped on one side of the sofa, trapping Trisa's whole body.
Trisa's breath was chaotic. She subconsciously wanted to dodge her, but she could only sit on the sofa and was eager to escape from this place. "Mellisa, what are you going to do? How dare you throw away your own family like this! I'll tell your grandfather this!"
"You think I'm scared? Is Grandpa outside the door now?" Mellisa pouted and joked.
She bowed slightly and approached Trisa who was still looking baffled and terrified. The light above her head was blocked and Trisa felt her eyes darken, like the end of the day.
"Auntie, I'll give you just one chance to explain my car accident that year. I want to know if you had a hand in it. Now tell me, were you involved?"
Melissa's voice was very low. Recalling the scene five years ago, she could not calm down.
If there weren't a car accident, she would still be a dutiful daughter in the family Irwan now.
If it did not happen, she wouldn't have suffered so much in the past five years.
She believed Leila was the prime suspect, it was pretty mind boggling that the perfect Leila could possibly plan a near-perfect car accident at 19.
Trisa was likely the only one that helped Leila.
"I...." Trisa hesitated, her eyes were sparkling as if to betray the secret that she had been hiding all this time.
