"Send him another message. He definitely wouldn''t reply like this. He loves me, I''m sure of it! He wouldn''t reply like that! Are you lying to me?" Melody frowned and red at Wendy. Unable to tolerate getting such a look, Wendy pped Melody, knocking her onto the bed.


    "It doesn''t matter whether you believe it or not; it doesn''t change the fact that Lucas was the one who sent the message. That''s how fragile his love for you is. It certainly didn''t take much to ruin it. One look at your ugly, swollen face and he''s gone! Oh, how I pity you. You know what? Seeing how heartbroken you are, I''ll ask him again."


    Wendy sent another message to Lucas, [Your woman is in my hands now. I heard you''re a sentimental man, Mister Lucas, so although her face is not as pretty as before, surely you wouldn''t mind spending a few million to save her, right?]


    Lucas had been waiting for Wendy''s message. As soon as he saw it, he picked up his phone and quicklyposed a response. However, just as he was about to send it, he hesitated.


    ''I shouldn''t reply so quickly if I wanted Wendy to think I don''t care about Melody,'' he thought.


    "Mister Lucas, we can only confirm that Madam is in a small town outside the city, but we''re not sure exactly where she is now."


    "Keep searching. We must pinpoint her location urately without alerting Wendy. When necessary, contact the local mayor. Let the townspeople know that if they provide useful information, I will reward them generously."


    "Yes, Mister Lucas."N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    Lucas sped his hands together, praying fervently that no further mishaps would ur. At that point, he was only sure Wendy was there, but not whether Thalia was with her, or if they had called anyone else. He could not risk Melody''s safety.


    "Hmm. Your wealthy husband doesn''t seem to care much about you. It''s been several minutes, and still no response. I wonder which woman he''s with now." Wendy was growing impatient.


    Just then, a thug who had been waiting in the next room stuck his head in. Melody''s heart skipped a beat, hoping it was not what she feared.


    "Oh, the big star is awake! I''m your fan. My friends call me Dougie. Hehe."


    "What are you doing here? Didn''t I tell you to wait over there? Come over only when you''re needed," shouted Wendy.


    Dougie scratched his head. "I was


    just thinking, it''s been over half an hour, don''t you need my help yet? Oh my, how did the big star''s face get so messed up? I feel so sorry for


    her."


    Wendy was about to scold him and tell him to behave, but her gaze suddenly fell on Melody, who was trying to avoid Dougie. Suddenly, she grinned evilly.


    "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you


    .1.n


    to the star of the day. Dougie,e here. Look, Melody, he''ll be your co-star for today. You two will have time to get to know each other betterter, so it''s best to get the introductions out of the way. You''re the best at acting, aren''t you, Melody? Remember to smile beautifullyter. Hahaha."


    Dougie became even more nervous when he saw Melody awake. He kept fidgeting with his hands. "I''m really sorry, big star. It seems you''ve fallen into my hands. I can''t believe what great luck I''m having today! Last time, I couldn''t even get tickets to your fan meet-up. I never expected Lady Luck would be smiling down at me. Hahaha."


    His lecherous smile and gaze made Melody feel extremely ufortable. She wanted to curl up into a ball, but she could not.


    "Wendy, just what are you trying to do?"
