Melody exuded a confident aura, standing there in her high heels.


    Ste, who was usually assertive andmanding, felt uneasy in her presence and unconsciously took a step back.


    Melody took the first strike. She smiled and said, "Miss Ste, what are you doing in a ce like this? I heard you''re scheduled to shoot your scenes this morning, right?" Melody seemedpletely oblivious to Ste''s unease.


    Ste tucked her hair behind her ear nervously. "I... I just happened to pass by here, so I thought I''d take a look. Maybe it''lle in useful for the roles I''ll be taking on in the future."


    "What could possibly lead someone to casually pass by the police station? Are you here to visit someone?"N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Melody wore aposed smile on her face, an expression that disgusted Ste. The more rxed and self-satisfied Melody appeared, the more it fueled Ste''s irritation.


    "I''m an actress. Every experience could be useful to me, so what''s wrong with me visiting the police station? Besides, why do you care where I go? In fact, I could ask the same about you! What are you doing here?" countered Ste.


    ''So what if this b*tch finds out I''vee to the police station? I''m under no obligation to tell her what I''m doing here! I''m the current leading actress! What''s a neer like her inparison?'' thought Ste. "I''m not as free as you, Miss Ste. I don''te to the police station for no reason. I really have some business here. My older sister did something foolish after being influenced by someone, so I''vee to check on her and persuade her toe to her senses. After all, that''s what every good sister would do."


    "Is that so? Well then, go see your sister. My schedule is quite packed. I can''t waste any more time here."


    After saying that, Ste put on her sunsses and walked away.


    Melody''s voice echoed behind her. "Miss Ste, there are some things I really must tell you. Now that you''re a leading actress, you should mind your reputation. It''s inevitable that people will try to dig up stuff about you.


    "I believe you understand this principle better than I do. Some things can be salvaged if they happen, but once certain actions are taken, they''re done. So don''t do anything you don''t want others to find out." Ste''s face turned pale. It was obvious Melody was threatening her. However, Ste could not discern whether Melody already had evidence against her or if all of this was just spective, an intentional probing.


    Ste bit her lip, choosing to act as if she had not heard anything by quickly leaving the scene. She did not even dare to look back at Melody.


    Melody''s eyes darkened as she watched Ste leave. She knew she had not actively done anything to incur Ste''s hatred. It was just that she happened to be Lucas'' wife, and that was why Ste was so eager to get rid of her.


    ''If Lucas knew that Ste was behind my kidnapping, would he still be as angry as he was with Wendy?''


    Melody did not dare to dwell on it. She looked up at the police station''s door in a daze, wondering if Wendy regretted ever hiring those thugs to hurt her.


    ''Wendy wouldn''t be locked up in the police station right now if it weren''t for her misguided actions after being manipted by Ste. Was it really worth it to risk ruining her own life to get rid of me?'' Regardless, Melody knew their parents would likely take Wendy''s side, and she had long grown used to such tant favoritism.


    ''No. Wendy doesn''t regret what she did to me. I bet she''s hating the fact that I''m doing fine outside... Oh well, there''s no harm in visiting her since I''m here,'' thought Melody.


    She stepped into the police station.


    Wendy had just been threatened by Ste and was in a state of agitation.
