Chapter 1629 Melanie Is Terrified
Melanie snorted. “That’s none of your business! Send me the photos now, and I’ll transfer the outstanding sum to you!”
The kidnappers zipped their lips at once. They randomly sent a few indecent pictures of a woman whose face could not be seen clearly to Melanie.
She fumed, “What a fail! I can’t even see her face! Don’t you know how to take pictures?”
One of the kidnappers whined, “There’s nothing we can do now. We’ve gotten rid of her body and can’t retake her pictures!”
Melanie asked in bafflement, “You sure are fast! How did you get rid of her body? Hello? Hey!”
The line on the other end went dead as the kidnappers hung up on her.
When snippets of memory flashed across her mind, she heaved a deep sigh.
Right from the beginning, Melanie had been scheming to finish her off when she paid her respects to Chris in K Nation. After cheating death, she vowed to pay Melanie back in her coin! She set me up so I would lose my chastity and end up in a tragic death? Pfft! Now that her own chastity is lost, I wonder how she’ll react tomorrow!
A hint of satisfaction from the success over her revenge flickered in her eyes. As she picked up and swirled the wineglass, the aroma of red wine filled her nostrils. There was a captivating radiance from the red liquor. She looked up and gulped it down.
The following morning, Rose woke up and put on heavy makeup. She looked into the mirror and scrutinized herself, glad about the exaggerative effect.
Next, she turned to choose a piece of body-hugging clothing that allowed her to exude a strong vibe. After changing into it, she strutted out of the room in her heels in schadenfreude.
The moment she walked to a corner, she saw Melanie standing outside Stephen’s room with a hint of restlessness written all over her face. She looked like a child worrying about facing the music after taking the sweets behind her parents’ back. Hmph! She must have had an intense session with the man last night! I wonder how Stephen will react shortly!
Feeling uneasy deep down, Melanie was about to knock on the door when she spotted Rose standing not far away from her. In an instant, the anxiousness and uneasiness in her eyes were prevailed by sheer hatred. “It’s you! You set me up!”
Rose’s luscious red lips curved into a smirk. She sashayed toward Melanie and looked at her disdainfully. “It seems Stephen locked you outside the room?”
“It’s all because of you! You set me up last night!” Melanie shrieked.
“What are you saying? I don’t understand!” Rose denied wittingly.
Melanie flipped out at the smugness on her face and raised her hand to slap Rose.
Rose was quick-witted and grabbed hold of her wrist. With her smirk still there, she scoffed, “Are you going to slap me?” Suddenly, she raised her other hand and slapped Melanie’s face swiftly.
Overwhelmed by the sudden slap on her face, Melanie wailed incoherently, “Y-You vixen! How dare you slap my face!”
Rose sneered, “What? You can slap anyone as you like, but they can’t slap you back? Heed my words. When you intend to harm others, you’ll end up harming yourself. You’re having the taste of your own medicine for your heinous deed!”
Melanie was dumbstruck. What does she mean by that? Have I ever harmed her? She’s the one trying to seduce Stephen and get on my nerves!
She gritted her teeth and hissed, “Don’t you try to twist the facts! It’s you! You set me up because you’ve fallen for Stephen! You’re the one!”
Rose smirked. “How about you? Have you inflicted harm on anyone because of Stephen? Can you recall?”
Melanie was rendered speechless. Anxiousness surfaced on her face instantaneously. What does she mean?
Rose stepped closer to her. “Why am I seeing a young lady standing by your side? She insists on settling a score with you for causing her to lose her life!”
At the same time, she looked into the spot next to Melanie deliberately, as though someone was standing there.
Her words sent a chill down Melanie’s spine. Who could be the person she is referring to? Could it be Nina?
She turned to look at the spot next to her instinctively. Blissfulness surged within Rose at the sight of utter fear in Melanie’s eyes alongside a look of uneasiness on her face.
Hmph! This will definitely scare you to death! How dare you provoke me! I’m going to enlighten you on what it means to cry over spilled milk!
Then, she reminded Melanie sarcastically, “You’d better be alert. She says that she’ll see you out for payback!”
