"Come in," Melody answered.


    "Ma''am, several police officers have shown up. They''re asking to see you. Would you like to go down and greet them or?"


    Melody ced the teacup down and realized that the crew must have decided to get the police involved, which she was fine with. After all, she could then leave the investigation to the police once she gave them her statement. She was certain that they would clear her name.


    The officers led Melody away as soon as she came down, which startled Beatrice and made her wonder if something bad had happened again. The officers'' sudden appearance seemed to havee out of nowhere.


    "You don''t need to make the trip to the station with me. I haven''tmitted any crime. They''re just going to record my statement ording to the procedure."


    Beatrice was more relieved when she heard the exnation, but she asked anyway, "Can you at least tell us what happened? This sort of stress is a little too much for me to handle."


    Melody smiled reassuringly and asked the maid to prepare some calming tea for the two of them.


    "I''m fine. I promise! I''ll be back before you''re both done with your nap." Melody then turned around and left with the police officers.


    She was a little nervous as she had never ridden in a police car to the police station before. Although she knew she was innocent, she nheless felt a little nervous to be caught up in the situation.


    It was analogous to falling ill. She knew that she would be cured after going to the hospital for a checkup, but the wait was agonizing. She would either be worried about discovering that she might have some incurable disease, or that the doctor might tell her something she could not ept.


    Melody ced her hand on her chest and took deep breaths. ''It''d be great if Lucas was with me right now,'' she thought subconsciously.


    Melody then stiffened at that thought, realizing that it would spell her downfall if she subconsciously began to ce too much reliance on another person.


    She shook her head vigorously to dispel those thoughts. Lucas was simply her creditor, and he had no obligation to bear her issues for her.


    When Melody arrived at the police station, she prepared herself mentally before giving her statement. She found somefort in the fact that the officers did not treat her as a murderer but merely asked her in detail about where she was in the morning and any evidence that could help in clearing her name.


    "Where were you between nine and ten in the morning?"


    "I was at the police station. I''m sure the surveince camera at the station entrance can help verify that I was standing there for a while."


    She and Ste had gone their separate ways at that time, and she had lingered at the police station for a long time before she finally received a call from the crew. The police officer nodded and proceeded to the next question.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    "When did you leave the set? Do you have any alibis to prove that?"


    Melody thought for a while before answering, "I don''t remember the exact time, but I do know that I left shortly after Ste. The crew should also have some video records. I also visited my sister, which I believe the station should also record."


    "Last question. ording to your testimony, you said you were set up. Do you have any clues about who is trying to frame you? And by that, I mean, who do you think might be the real suspect here? Your answer will help us narrow things down tremendously."


    Melody nodded and began, "Right now, I can''t say because I wasn''t on set this morning. I''m not sure who could''ve done it. All I can say is that there was some friction between me and Miss Ste."
