Despite saying this, Melina was nning to rush out the door and flee.


    Only Hannah and Dotson were present.


    If she was quick enough, she could make it outside and scream for help.


    They wouldn’t have time to stop her.


    Just as she was about to bolt, Hannah’s voice cut through the tension.


    “Someone’s waiting outside.


    If you do open that door, I can’t guarantee you’ll survive.


    ”


    Melina froze in her tracks, then turned to Hannah, gritting her teeth.


    “What will it take for you to let me go?”


    Rolling her eyes, Hannah replied calmly, “I never intended to trap you.


    But you’ve crossed me too many times.


    Did you really think you could get away with it?”


    After pausing for a moment, Hannah continued, “From the moment you pushed Tyshawn to attack Franco, you were in too deep.


    ”


    Melina stared at her, then suddenlyughed.


    “Every person for themselves, Hannah.


    Even if I provoked Tyshawn, what does it matter? He carried it out; I wasn’t directly involved.


    ”Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    ring at Hannah, she continued, “You tried to deceive me with the im of surveince footage.


    It’s fake, isn’t it? If the proof was concrete, you wouldn’t have chased me across borders.


    I suspect that footage shows nothing significant.


    ”


    p! p! p.


    Hannah pped her hands lightly, a teasing grin on her face.


    “And if it’s real?”


    Hearing this, Melina’s demeanor changed.


    She felt as if she had something over Hannah.


    “Without evidence, you can’t convict me based on mere words.


    ”


    “Look at you, so eager to interrupt me before I finish,” Hannah replied slowly.


    At that moment, Dotson pulled a recorder from his pocket and waved it at Melina.


    “True, the footage wasn’t conclusive, but now we have this.


    ”


    Melina’s eyes widened as she screamed, “Hannah! You deceitful snake! You set me up!”


    Still smiling softly, Hannah said softly, “You admitted to it.


    Combined with Tyshawn’s confession, it’s enough.


    ”


    Melina scoffed.


    “Fine.


    Since you don’t intend to kill me, that evidence is worthless.


    I won’t return to Cadilind with you, and you can’t force me onto a ne.


    ”


    Nodding, Hannah replied, “You do have a point.


    ”


    Just as Melina was starting to feel triumphant, she heard the living room door creak open.


    She turned to see Bryson’s tall figure entering.


    Melina was stunned by Bryson’s presence.


    She silently observed as he made his way over to Hannah and took a seat beside her.


    Melina whispered under her breath, “Bryson, how can you be here? What about your affairs in Cadilind? What’s going on here?”


    Hannah smiled at Bryson and then turned to Melina.


    “Sorry, I was teasing you just now.


    You are in Cadilind, in Bryson’s vi.


    This is Valmere, not Nagobri.
