This smell was identical to the one he had gotten on his hands while in the resort's shower room. How could the aroma of Amber's body wash be present here?
Unless the shower gel did not belong to Amber. Makenna used this bathroom just before they left. It was now clear who had caused this incident to occur.
Jared squeezed the bathrobe in his hand while his cold gaze fixed on the bottle of body wash hidden inside the cabinet. The bottle of body wash was clear, and the half-full amount of body wash inside was clearly visible.
It was obvious where the other half had gone.
Jared's face was horribly gloomy as he threw on the bathrobe and left the bathroom.
Makenna was sitting on the sofa in the living room, talking on the phone with Shonna. She raised her eyes and looked ahead into Jared's cold face when she heard his footsteps. She forced a smile and asked, "Jared, you're done with your shower so quickly?"
Why was he staring at her with such disdain?
"Makenna, why are you silent?" inquired Shonna over the phone.
Makenna settled down and replied with a smile, "Shonna, it's late now. Please sleep earlier, and we can talk again next time."
Makenna hung up and put the phone on the coffee table. As she walked towards Jared, she could feel the anger in Jared's eyes as they landed on her.
Makenna felt uneasy in her heart, but she kept her face expressionless.
"Jared, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?" She approached Jared and leaned forward, attempting to lean into his arms.
Jared took a step back after looking at her.
Makenna stumbled and almost fell. She looked at him with surprise and aggravation, "Jared, you…"
"Did you cause Amber to fall in the shower room?" Jared stopped her speech and said with a frosty expression.
Makenna started to feel nervous. However, she immediately nodded to deny it, without thinking much about how he would suspect her. She added, "Of course I'm not the one who did this. How could you think it was me?"
She pretended to be enraged and unhappy with his misunderstanding.
She expected Jared to coax her and tell her not to be angry as he usually did.
To her surprise, Jared had no action. He just stood there staring at her with disappointment and some unreadable, complicated feelings.
"You are still denying it now. Do you think that I will simply suspect you if I don't have any definite evidence?"
Definite evidence?
Makenna's face became paler.
She knew he never lied.
He really got the proof.
Makenna became panicked and said, "Jared, I…"
Jared interrupted her speech once again, "Amber fell due to a large puddle of body wash and the smell of that body wash was exactly the same as yours. Your body wash was customised and thus, no other body wash in this world could be the same as yours."
"Moreover, when you travel, everything you bring is brand new and unopened. But half of your shower gel is now gone for no reason. The evidence was enough to prove what you had done."
Jared looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger and asked, "Makenna, were you really the simple and kind girl who wrote to me?"
Makenna was freezing while her hands and feet went cold.
She didn't know what to do because he was beginning to suspect her identity!
No, she needed to clear his conscience as soon as possible, otherwise everything would be ruined.
Makenna's eyes flashed and she cried suddenly, "I'm sorry Jared, I know I'm wrong, I'm sorry…"
