"Don''t get too close. Just make sure we don''t lose sight of the car in front of us," instructed Melody.


    Melody had wondered if she was being overly cautious after being frightened by those thugs. Maybe Ste was just in a bad mood this morning. However, all her doubts vanished when she saw Ste turning into the police station.


    ''What could this scheming woman need to do at the police station?'' wondered Melody. She had no idea how Ste got in touch with Wendy.


    ''Ugh, that stupid Wendy! She''s so easily manipted. I bet Ste only had to say a few words for her to get rid of me!''


    Melody sat quietly in the car, organizing her thoughts. ''Only Lucas and some of the crew members knew I was going to the bookstore yesterday... So how did those three thugs know I''ll be there?''


    She found it difficult to believe that the three thugs could kidnap her without any of the crew members telling them where she would be.


    ''So the question is, who leaked the information?'' she asked herself.


    It was none other than Ste, of course. That much was evident when Melody saw her going into the police station.


    What Melody casually said in the morning to Ste unexpectedly turned out to be true. It seemed that Ste had been secretly coveting the role she yed.


    Melody stared intently at the police station. She must seek justice for herself since she found out it was Ste scheming behind the scenes to make Wendy do the dirty work for her.


    It was a huge blow to Melody when she found out Wendy was the one who hired the thugs to kidnap her. Yes, they had never been close, and Melody was well aware that Wendy disliked her. She was not too fond of Wendy either.


    However, Melody never expected that Wendy would go to such extremes by employing such a ruthless tactic against her. Her own sister actually hired thugs to assault her and ruined her entire life!


    Melody felt an indescribable sadness and irony in her heart. It wasughable that she had once hoped Wendy could treat her a bit better, like a real sister. Unfortunately, Wendy was a heartless woman, and Helen''s favoritism was to me.


    Helen allowed Wendy to act with impunity and bully Melody without restraint. Melody would not have to suffer, and Wendy would not be so domineering and spoiled-thinking that everything Melody had should be hers-if Helen had not been so biased.


    Helen also believed that Melody owed her because she was born a daughter, and not a son. Therefore, Melody deserved to endure all the hardships.


    ''I don''t deserve to be attacked by those thugs just because I make Wendy unhappy. No!'' thought Melody.


    She wished she was not Helen''s child, even if it meant she would never get to be born into the world.


    They chose to bring her into the world, yet they med her for not being a son. They hated her, ignored her, and hurt her. She had not done anything wrong, but to them, her very existence was a mistake. After cutting ties with her family, she thought she could live for herself. To her dismay, the Sanders did not stop hurting her. They continued to exploit her at every opportunity they got.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Thus, Wendy was easily manipted by Ste, leading her tomit such outrageous acts against Melody.


    At that moment, Ste walked out of the visiting room leisurely. She knew that her purpose for going there had been achieved when she saw how submissive Wendy was.


    She felt relieved, having easily manipted Wendy. She had herpletely under her thumb, and Melody''s future seemed to be heading in the same direction.


    ''Hah, those two were destined to be trampled on by me! You''re next, Melody Sander!''


    "Ah! You..." She had not expected to run into Melody at the entrance of the police station just as she descended the stairs.
