Ste clenched her fist.


    All of a sudden, she burst intoughter. She walked up to Wendy with a creepy smile.


    "How naive you are. Do you really think anyone would dare to report on me without my permission? On the contrary, you should worry about yourself, given your current situation."


    Ste crossed her arms and looked down condescendingly at Wendy.


    She did not want to take things too far, since Wendy could still be useful to her in getting rid of Melody. However, she did not expect Wendy to be stupid enough to threaten her with something so trivial. It was so absurd that she found it downright amusing.


    Ste would not possibly let Wendy off the hook when she so naively put herself up for ughter.


    "What do you want?! My family is innocent. Aren''t you afraid that I''ll expose you for the evil person that you are?"


    Wendy''s eyes widened. She did not care that much about her family, but at the moment, it was the only thing she could depend on. She would truly have nothing left if Ste hurt her father and Helen. In other words, she would end up alone and helpless.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    At least Melody had someone capable like Lucas to protect her. Wendy never had the good fortune of meeting a man like that.


    ''D*mn that b*tch! I hope she dies! Why does she get to live a carefree life while I''m stuck here?'' thought Wendy.


    Ste raised an eyebrow. She was surprised to find that Wendy cared that much about her family.


    "Do as I say if you don''t want me to hurt your family. Don''t mention my name. Don''t let anyone know I approached you, and I''ll give you my word that your parents will be safe and sound. But if you dare utter a single word... Well, I''ll make sure you''lle to regret it."


    Wendy gritted her teeth, but in the end, she could only nod in humiliation.


    "Fine... I''ll do as you say. Just don''t hurt my family! And get me out!"


    Ste smirked triumphantly. She agreed to Wendy''s request, even though she did not really mean it. The oue of this little exchange relieved her.


    "I won''t let you down since you cooperated so well," said Ste.


    After resolving a major concern, Ste swaggered out of the police station with her bag. She had regained her lively demeanor.


    Little did she know, Melody had been quietly following her to the police station.


    During their conversation in the morning, Melody found Ste''s guilty, fidgety demeanor suspicious.


    Ste was either as proud as a peacock or determined to outdo Melody. Yet, she acted very cautiously toward Melody that morning, leaving Melody feeling perplexed.


    While Melody paid no attention to Ste''s act of being close friends, she could not help but find her behavior abnormal that morning. Ste even kept her usual passive-aggressive remarks to the minimum.


    In fact, Ste left in a hurry without saying much. Even though the entire morning was supposed to revolve around her scenes, she specifically requested time off from the director to go out.


    Melody did not see Ste''s manager, but she could see a look of confusion on Ste''s personal assistant''s face.


    ''Why does it seem like even her assistant didn''t know anything about the emergency? Why would Ste need to handle the emergency herself?'' wondered Melody.


    Everything pointed to Ste''s abnormal behavior. Since Melody did not have any scenes scheduled in the morning, she informed the director and got into her own car to tail Ste.
