Chapter 282
Not surprisingly, Melody Princeton could not hear the older woman’s cries.
She was still crying and begging. Just take it that I was possessed for a moment. Just take it that I did something stupid on the spur of the moment. I apologize to you. Please forgive me…
“She will never forgive you. A clear and calm voice rang out from behind Melody.
Melody turned around in shock and saw Tiffany Kelley standing behind her.
“Did Jade Payne beg for mercy when you were about to take her life? Did you relent? Did your heart soften?” Tiffany’s gaze was filled with mockery.
“You didn’t. So what makes you think that taking care of someone’s parents can atone for your sin? What makes you think that you can be forgiven just by saying sorry?”
“I didn’t do anything!” Melody’s face turned pale.
She recovered from her initial panic and quickly denied everything. I don’t know what nonsense you’re talking about.”
In any case, only Tiffany was present. So what if she heard everything? If Melody refused to admit to anything, what could she do without evidence?
Melody countered with a sneer. “By the way, I want to ask you something as well. Have you reflected on your actions? Aren’t you guilty of many unspeakable things too? Didn’t you drive Sandra Olson to her death back then?”
This woman was indeed shrewd. No matter what charges were leveled at her, she had the ability to change topics seamlessly and turn things to her advantage.
Tiffany raised her eyebrows and casually gestured with her hand. Turn around. Look at the photo behind you and continue talking.”
Behind Melody was Jade’s photo.
What used to be a living being had now turned into a tombstone
Tiffany watched Melody closely. Her intention was clear. As long as Melody had the guts to say it, Tiffany was all ears.
Melody was stumped. She subconsciously clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white.
Tiffany glanced at her and taunted her. “Why? Do you want to silence me too?”
“Tiffany Kelley, don’t go too far!”
“How did I go too far? Didn’t you say that I was in your way, so you arranged for someone to eliminate me? You keep pushing the blame to other people. How can I reason with you? Tiffany gave a helpless shrug.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“How did you know all this?” Melody’s gaze turned sharp.
She had changed her plan to target Alexia Harper at the last minute in order to turn the Kelley and Harper families against
each other.
Moreover, she had risked her life to save Alexia. This way, even the Harper family still looked down on her, they would por oppose her romantic relationship with Kenneth Harper because of this favor
It was only a matter of time before she became Mrs. Harper
Yet how did Tiffany know all this?
“Take a guess, Tiffany replied.
Melody was not a fool. She figured it out after thinking for a while.
Since Tiffany knew so many details, it was clear that she had bribed the people around Melody!
Melody’s face turned ominous. She really felt like silencing Tiffany now!
However, before she could do anything. Jade’s parents had already rushed over. The moment they saw Melody, they hit her with the things in their hands.
“How can you face us! How can you still face my daughter? How can there be such a ruthless person like you in this world?” Mrs. Payne cried until her voice was hoarse.
The couple was heartbroken after finding out the truth and furious that they had been taken for a ride. Overwhelmed by grief and myriad conflicting emotions, they only wanted to fight Melody to the death.
“Mrs. Payne…” Melody pleaded pitifully.
However, it was precisely this sentence that made Mrs. Payne so angry that she shouted agitatedly. “Don’t talk to me! I don’t have a goddaughter like you!”
Before she could catch her breath, Mrs. Payne fainted from anger.
The couple were on the verge of tearing Melody apart but now, one had fainted and the other was busy getting medical help. Who could be bothered with Melody?
Melody stared at Tiffany defiantly. “So what if you brought these two old farts here? That old woman can’t even take a single sentence of provocation, yet she still wants to bring me to justice? What a joke!”
Melody was about to leave when a flurry of footsteps could be heard in all directions.
In the next second, dozens of men in uniforms rushed up and surrounded her.
They were all police officers.
“Melody Princeton? Stop right there. You are under arrest.”
At this moment, Melody was dumbstruck.
Even when she was restrained and handcuffed, she was still in a daze. “Why? Why are you arresting me?”
No one answered her.
She then turned to Tiffany. “It’s you! You set me up on purpose, didn’t you? You also asked that so-called fortune teller to lure me here, didn’t you?”
Tiffany kept quiet.
It didn’t matter whether she had set Melody up or not. It also didn’t matter whether the fortune teller was real or fake.
The important thing was… Melody did something wrong.
Therefore, justice must be served
How could Melody not understand such a basic tenet of morality
“Do you think you’ve won? Before Melody was taken away, she stared at Tiffany with a mysterious smile. Then, she mouthed something silently.
Tiffany understood at once and her face clouded over.
“Miss Kelley? June Spencer approached Tiffany. She wanted to ask what Melody said wordlessly earlier as she did not
Tiffany gestured dismissively. “Get medical help first.”
Mrs. Payne was still lying unconscious on the ground. June got down to check on her. “She’s fine. She only fainted.”
To play safe, she fed Mrs. Payne a pill to stabilize her heart rate.
Before long, Mrs.. Payne regained consciousness.
“Let’s go.” As June was the one who drove Jade’s parents here, she had also made arrangements for a driver send them back
After sending the grieving couple off, June turned back and saw Tiffany frowning. She offered some words of comfort. “Miss Kelley, the 100 thousand dollars you instructed us to transfer to the Payne family previously is enough for them to retire on. With this gesture, you’ve already done your best.”
Tiffany shook her head in response. I’m not thinking about that Let’s go. It’s time to go back.”
“Sure, Miss Kelley.”
At this moment, the rain had stopped, and a few faint rainbows appeared in the blue sky.
The scenery on the way back was exceptionally good, but Tiffany was not in a good mood. She curled up in the backseat with her eyes closed the entire time.
June wanted to speak a few times but hesitated after some thought. ‘What exactly did Melody Princeton say to make Miss Kelley so distracted? In fact, she seemed to be in a bad mood…”
The car came to a stop at the entrance of Tiffany’s family villa.
“June, you can go back. There’s nothing else to do for now. You guys should also rest for a few days.” After saying that, Tiffany got out of the car with a yawn.
When the servants saw Tiffany, they immediately welcomed her “Miss Kelley, you’re finally back. It was raining outside today. You didn’t get wet, did you?”
“No, I didn’t.” Tiffany was about to go upstairs when a loud bang from outside was heard.
One servant hurriedly ran out to check and then returned to report This is terrible, Miss Kelley! Mrs. Harper got someone to drive a bulldozer into our villa’s entrance! The big m
