Amber pursed her pale lips and said, "I fell on my own, but I don't think my fall was that simple."
"Amber, did you suspect anything?" Cole asked while looking at her.
Amber nodded and explained, "I fell because I stepped on something slippery when I came out of the washroom cubicle. I smelled a scent that reminded me of shower gel right before I fell."
"How did it come to be the shower gel in front of your cubicle?" inquired Cole as he widened his eyes in surprise.
"I'm not sure."
"Could it be that someone accidentally dropped the shower gel and it spilled in front of your cubicle, and you happened to be so unlucky and stepped on it?" Cole speculated while rubbing his chin.
Amber's eyes narrowed and he added, "That's one of the possibilities, but I think the chances are low."
"Why?"
Amber tilted her head slightly to look at him and said, "Because I didn't hear the sound of something falling when I was in the shower."
In other words, someone had deliberately poured the shower gel in front of her cubicle door.
Cole said as he stood up, "It must be Makenna. We only have two enemies at this resort: Jared and Makenna. It was impossible for Jared to enter the female spa, so it had to be Makenna who did this."
"It's her. She was there when you called me last night. She should have heard I was going to shower and followed me there," Amber stated as she clutched the quilt in her hands.
Cole became enraged and exclaimed, "Makenna was too malicious. We must call the police! We couldn't forget this matter!"
Cole took out his phone from his pocket.
However, Amber stopped him and said, "It's useless because there was no CCTV in the shower room. There was no evidence that she was the one who poured the shower gel. Even if we can prove that the shower gel spilled on the floor was similar to hers, she can still claim that she spilled it by accident."
Cole frowned and added, "Then what should we do?"
Amber said after a brief silence, "Unless we can get a recording of her admitting to murdering me on purpose."
"This was so simple," Cole said with a sinister grin and added, "I can have someone pretend to have the recording to scare her, and she will definitely tell the truth."
Amber's eyes shone with hope. The doorbell rang just as she was about to continue the conversation with Cole.
"Who is it?" Cole inquired while walking towards the door.
When the door opened, Jared and Makenna were standing outside.
"Mr Lyon," Makenna addressed him with a smile.
Cole said with a nonchalant tone, "What are you doing here?"
"We're looking for Amber. Is she here?" Jared asked while fixing his gaze on him.
Cole was dressed similarly to the previous night, indicating that he had spent the entire night in the room with Amber.
When Jared realised Cole and Amber had spent the entire night in the same room, his eyes darkened, and he became irritated.
"Cole, who is it?" Amber asked from across the room with a weak voice.
Cole didn't hide anything from her and replied loudly, "Mr Farrell and Ms Gardner are here, and they say they are looking for you."
Amber's voice came again after a brief silence, "Let them in."
Cole shifted his weight reluctantly to the side.
"Thank you," Makenna nodded with a smile as she walked in with Jared.
Cole rolled his eyes and followed them after closing the door.
Amber leaned against the headboard. She was in loose pyjamas and her head was bandaged while her face was pale. She appeared frail and weak.
