Chapter 402

Lyla leaned close to Melina, whispering as if someone might overhear her. As Melina listened, her eyes widened, but she nodded firmly. Lyla met her gaze with a serious expression. "Melina, from here on out, you need to stay calm. You'll only get what you want by keeping a cool head." Melina nodded again, taking deep breaths to steady herself. The panic in her eyes slowly gave way to determination. Before leaving the room, she couldn't help but ask, "Lyla, will this get you into trouble?" "Don't worry about me. I'll avoid any direct involvement as much as I can," Lyla reassured her. The two stepped out of the room. Plenty of guards were stationed near Wallace's room, but Melina didn't head in that direction. The security detail's sole job was to block access to Wallace, so they paid no attention as Melina and Lyla walked toward another part of the mansion. The younger members of the Wentworths stayed in this section. Melina knew exactly which room she was looking for.
