Melanie did not expect Jenny to fire back. Additionally, Lily did nothing but stand there, depriving Melanie of any satisfaction.
Melanie became increasingly furious and said, "You think Rebirth is so great? It is just a little subsidiary of La Beaute, not any better than MN Inc. Besides, no one can compare to Mr. Moreau, even in La Beaute."
Lily noticed Melanie was holding Frank's arm as she spoke proudly.
"All right, Mel, let’s not waste time here. We should focus on what we came here for." Frank did not take part in their quarrel, but his words showed contempt and disdain.
"You're right. Let's go! It even smells bad here." Melanie waved her hand and covered her nose as they walked away, as if she genuinely smelled something.
Jenny was dumbfounded at Melanie’s act, and she said to Lily, "What a weirdo. She’s the one that started the smear campaign, yet she's acting all high and mighty. Lily, how'd you even become friends with her?"

"Let's not talk about her. It’s pointless," Lily said
