The next morning. Keh had to take care of somepany matters, so he left early
After he left, Melody came downstairs. While she was being served breakfast by the servants, she gave her brother Jansen Princeton a call.
Jansen arrived very quickly. When he saw the luxurious vacation vi Melody was staying in, his eyes were filled with envy and greed
“This ce is so much better than the small vi we live in. Look at this scenery and pool! Tsk, tsk! It must have cost at least a few million dors!”
After saying that, he leaned towards Melody with a wicked smile. My dear sister, why don’t you get Mr. Harper to transfer this vi to your name! This way, our family can move to a bigger ce!”
Melody shot him a nce and said with a sarcastic smile, “Under my name? Or under yours?”
“Isn’t it the same? We’re family after all!” Jansen replied.
In Jansen’s eyes, his younger sister should do this for him as a matter of course.
Since Keh Harper was going to marry his sister sooner orter, what was wrong with gifting a small property to his future brother–inw?
Melody did not want to criticize him. She did not even mock him. Instead, she agreed to his request, much to Jansen’s surprise.
“Sure, you can have it.”
“Are you serious, Melody? Are you really giving me this vacation vi?”
“Didn’t you say that we’re family? You’re my biological brother. I can only rely on you so I have to treat you well.”
Melody’s words pleased Jansen immensely. Simply thinking about the immediate and future benefits alone made him grin from ear to ear.
“Go on, tell me. Did you encounter some difficulties again? Don’t worry, Melody. I’ll definitely help you. After all, we’re family!”
“There is something I need you to do.”
Melody beckoned to her brother. “Come here.”
Jansen immediately leaned forward as she whispered to him.
A momentter, he almost jumped up from his seat, his face filled with shock. “Melody, you’re out of your mind!”
She was asking him to disguise himself and enter the cellte at night to silence Den Jahn.
This was murder, a serious crime!
He would have to pay with his life if caught!
Jansen shook his head furiously. “No, I can’t do that for you.”
As he had blurted out his reply loudly, the servants nearby turned to look at him in surprise. Melody lowered her voice and. whispered. “Don’t worry. This is thest thing I want you to do.
“After youplete this task, this vacation vi will be yours. I can fulfill any request you have
It was hard for a greedy guy not to be tempted when such a coveted reward was dangled before his eyes.
Jansen frowned and thought seriously for a while. In the end, he shook his head. “No, I can’t do it.”
Putting aside the fact that he was friends with Den, even if he didn’t know Den, he didn’t want to have anybody’s blood on his hands.
Even if there were great rewards awaiting him, they would be useless if he did not live long enough to enjoy them.
Therefore, this was not a good deal..
Melody wasn’t surprised that Jansen turned her down.
No one in this world understood her older brother better than her.
Her brother had been timid and cowardly since young but he was greedy, proud, and vain. He often pretended to be rich for the sake of his pride.
It was indeed not very likely that he would undertake such a risky endeavor.
Melody sighed and pushed a ss of red wine to Jansen. She said with a smile, “Try it. It’s vintage wine.”
Jansen gulped a few times before holding up the ss carefully with both hands to take a sip of the wine.
This expensive red wine looked good, but… why did it taste so awful?
Jansen frowned but he raised his head and drained his ss as he believed that this vintage red wine must be very expensive. He even pushed the empty ss to Melody. “Not bad Fill it up!”
He thought to himself that he would have something new to brag about after this.
Melody smiled and poured Jansen another ss.
However, this time, when she pushed the ss back, she flicked her wrist and a small white pill fell from her sleeve into the wine ss.
Jansen did not notice anything. He raised his head and downed the wine, together with the small white pill.
Whether due to drunkenness or other reasons, within minutes, Jansen was swaying in his chair with a vacant look. It was as if he would fall asleep at any moment
Melody’s eyes glinted.
Then she lowered her voice and said, “It was your idea to kidnap Alexia Harper. Because you didn’t know her identity beforehand, you only wanted to extort a sum of money. Later, when you were found out, your younger sister risked her life to protect her. Only then did you leave with Alexia.
“While fleeing, you bumped into Jade Payne. You did not want her to expose your deed so you silenced her. You were the one who did everything. Your sister was just being kind and wanted to take the me for you. Do you understand?”
Melody enunciated every word slowly as the mind–control spell started to take effect.
This voice reverberated endlessly in Jansen’s mind.
After a while, he answered in a dazed fashion, “Understood.”
Dark, windy nights, Criminals‘ delight.
It was 2:30 am when the autumn rain started falling.
Den Jahny on the single bed in the cell, his head resting on his hands as he gazed at the ceiling.
His eyelids had been twitching non–stop since this afternoon.
He kept feeling that something would happen tonight.
However, after thinking things through carefully, he felt that he might be safer in the lock–up than if he were outside. He even felt that he was such a coward to worry so much.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
As he pondered, Den couldn’t help giving a scornful snort. Then, he turned around and looked at the good–looking guy lying on the other single bed opposite him.
This new guy was brought inst night and had not said a word since he came in. He simply slept day and night…
Was this guy mule?
Den pursed his lips and gradually fell asleep when drowsiness overcame him.
At this moment, a man in uniform walked rapidly toward Den’s cell. He did not open the cell gate. Instead, he gestured through the bars. “Den Jahn, you have a visitor.”
Den had just fallen asleep when he was woken up. When he saw that it was a staff member, he got up grumpily and walked to the staff. “It’s sote at night. Who is he?”
After saying that, he froze.
Indeed, what kind of visitor would onlye in the middle of the night?
Den immediately sensed that something was wrong and tried to back away.
To his shock, the other party was already prepared. Before Den could back away, the man had slipped a noose easily around Den’s neck through the fence.
The noose suddenly tightened, and Den struggled with all his might. “Ugh.”
He wanted to shout for help but the only sound he could muster was some pitifully soft, guttural grunts. Who could hear his cry for help?
I’m going to die… Den thought.
Den’s face was filled with terror and his heart was full of despair.
He… didn’t want to die…
At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly reached out and quickly gave a yank. The guy outside was mmed against the bars and his face which was hidden in the darkness was pressed against the cold metal bars.
Jeremy Cooper then grabbed hold of the other party’s hair but his eyes were instantly filled with disgust.
When was thest time this fellow washed his hair? His hair was so greasy and disgusting.
The pressure on Den’s neck suddenly eased and the noose was removed. Only then was Den able to take in deep breaths. His face was flushed but the fear was still visible.
He was surprised to find that the person who saved him was his cellmate, the good–looking guy who had not said a word for a day and a half except sleep,
And the guy in uniform who wanted to kill him through the bar was… Jansen Princeton.
