    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jade, Ged, and Jansen. Three lives were lost.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jansen was already known to be far from virtuous. Hence, his death at the hands of Melody didn’t stir much outrage.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">However, the deaths of Jade and Ged hit much closer to home. They were students at Lovell School. Their ssmates saw them every day.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Perhaps just the day before, they had been present in the ssroom,ughing, arguing, full of youthful energy. And then, the next day, they were gone.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The murderer turned out to be Melody, widely admired for her talent, kindness, and grace. She had been the personification of elegance and charm.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When the news broke, many at Lovell School who had once been close to Melody were left in shock.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">A dyed sense of fear settled over them, and more than a few patted their chests in relief, saying, “Thank goodness I’m still alive.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“Thank Melody for sparing my</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">life.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“She’s a devil, isn’t she? I can’t believe I used to be so close to her. Who could have imagined she would kill her deskmate, Jade?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“And Ged. Did she kill him just to get back at Tiffany? Was it because Ged was friendly with Tiffany, so she took out her revenge on him?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">“A woman like her is absolutely terrifying…”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The shock and gossip among outsiders were one thing, but for the families of wave of torment and agony.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">the</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">victims, the revtion brought a fresh</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">They had thought the case was resolved, with the killer confessing and taking the punishment. Yet now, the real truth wasid bare, reopening old wounds.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Jade’s parents, who had heard Melody’s confession in the cemetery long ago, were left powerless at the time, with no evidence to support their usations. Jansen had shouldered all the me and ended his life, halting the investigation.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">But atst, the truth that should havee to light long ago was finally revealed. It was a long–overdue justice.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When the news of Ged’s death had firste, his parents seemed to have aged overnight.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He had been their only child, their pride and joy. That morning just like any other, he had left for school, turning back to wave at them.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">He had Ped to return home for dinner.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">But that night, Greg and Candice were met with a soul–crushing tragedy.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The blow was devastating, especially for a family already reeling from financial ruin. The Moody family never recovered from the loss.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">And what made it worse was theck of closure. The killer was unknown, leaving them no one to me, no one to seek revenge against.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Now, atst, there was rity about that fateful night.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Candice broke down in tears, sobbing. “Justice… finally, there’s justice! My son was so innocent. His life had just begun. How cruel must someone be to take that away? Do you even have empathy?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Her choked cries echoed through the Moody family’s vi, a heartbreaking testament to their unending grief.</font></font>


    Outside the vi, under the bright glow of streetlights, Tiffany sat in her car. The warmth of the heater did little to chase away the cold she felt deep inside.


    Back then, Melody’s real target had been her. Because she couldn’t find a w to exploit, she turned her attention to Tiffany friends instead.


    Tiffany thought Jade and Ged were dead because of her. She closed her eyes.


    Suddenly, a pair of warm hands covered hers. Apanied by the chill of the opened car door, a refreshing yetmanding presence wrapped around her as she was pulled into a firm embrace.


    Richard’s deep and soothing voice broke the silence, uttering just two words. “Silly girl.”


    He didn’t need to ask. Just one look at Tiffany’s expression told him everything. This little fool was undoubtedly consumed by guilt over her friends‘ deaths.


    But no matter what, the one responsible for these heinous acts was Melody.


    A person with such malicious intent would always find opportunities to harm others, no matter how much one tried to guard against it.


    The one who truly deserved guilt and the burden of atonement was the heartless murderer.


    Tiffany lifted her gaze, locking eyes with Richard, her voice steady and firm. “Before our wedding, I want to see Melody sentenced and executed with my own eyes.”


    It wasn’t a wish. It was a deration of absolute certainty.


    Tiffany knew the legal process could be lengthy. Even with all the damning evidence against Melody, the uncertainties were too many.


    If any unforeseenplications arose or Melody managed to exploit a loophole, this hard–earned opportunity could be wasted.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Richard raised an eyebrow, cing a gentle kiss on her forehead


    Richard raised his eyebrows and nted a kiss between her eyebrows.


    He said, “No rush. Leave everything to me.”


    “Alright.” Tiffany nodded. With Richard’s influence and resources, she had no reason to worry.


    But there was something more pressing on her mind right now.


    Tiffany stepped out of the car, clutching the Treasure Box tightly. She nced at the Moody family vi before walking toward it with deliberate steps.


    She greeted, “Mr. Moody, Mrs. Moody.”


    The sight of her caught the couple off guard for a moment. They hastily wiped their tears, forcing a smile.


    Candice said, “Tiffany, what brings you here at this hour? You didn’t even let us know you wereing. The staff are on leave, so there’s nothing to offer you.


    Candice started toward the kitchen, intending to make coffee, but Tiffany gently stopped her.


    She said, “Mrs. Moody, there’s no need. The reason I’m here tonight is to show you something.”


    “What is it?” The couple exchanged puzzled nces but didn’t think much of it.


    Since the tragic loss of their son, they had been steeped in grief, their spirits broken. There were even times when they considered to end their own lives.


    Tiffany often visited, bringing gifts and trying to lift their spirits, but pulling someone out of despair was easier said than done.


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">When they saw the Treasure Box in Tiffany’s hands, they noted its intricate design and guessed it might be some sort of film projector.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Greg wiped his face and said, his voice trembling, “Tiffany, we appreciate your kindness, but we’re too heartbroken to enjoy anything right now.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Tiffany acted as though she hadn’t heard.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">She opened the Treasure Box and softly whispered, “Is everything I asked forst time ready?”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">A voice from within the box immediately responded, “Yes. Everything is prepared. You may enter the desired timeline whenever you wish.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Previously, Tiffany had told it that she wanted to defy death and undo the irreversible.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The Treasure Box was powerful but not omnipotent. Reviving the dead wasn’t within its abilities, but there was another way. It could use a parallel timeline as a new beginning to bring back those who had died.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">Tiffany nodded in satisfaction. “Then let’s begin.”</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">As her words fell, the Treasure Box emitted an intense blue glow The ancient, intricate patterns on its surface shimmered with a divine and mysterious light.</font></font>


    <font style="vertical-align: inherit;"><font style="vertical-align: inherit;">The Moody couple stared in astonishment, unable to believe their eyes as the unimaginable unfolded before them.</font></font>
