"I can''t believe you''re still pretending to be innocent, Thalia. Mister Lucas, I''m pretty sure she''s somehow involved in Melody''s kidnapping. You have no idea how malicious she can be. Not only that, but she killed her own sister!"


    These words stirred up a storm. Despite suspecting Thalia of many wrongdoings against Melody, Lucas never imagined that it would involve their past.


    "What nonsense are you talking about?" Thalia clutched Lucas'' arm in a panic. "Lucas, don''t listen to her nonsense!"


    Quinn stood by the door, ensuring she could escape at any moment, as she smirked tauntingly. "It''s pitiful that the mighty president of Rivera Group has been fooled by such a woman. The culprit behind udia''s death, who you thought died because of you, is none other than her own sister, Thalia! She poisoned udia and orchestrated her demise! Feel free to investigate if you don''t believe me."


    Lucas'' expression was one of shock. Quinn''s words were outrageous, making him hesitant to believe them. Deep down, however, he had harbored suspicions.


    Thalia, seeing things had reached this point, did not even bother to exin anymore. She had plotted her own sister''s death just to make Lucas notice and love her a little more!


    ''With Melody still unconscious, how dare Quinn, of all people, dare to stop me from being with Lucas? She''s not even worthy!'' thought Thalia.


    "Lucas, you''d rather believe her over me? Very well, then." Thalia stormed out, mming the door behind her, leaving Quinn and Lucas looking at each other with confusion.


    Quinn slumped to the ground. "That woman is a murderer. She killed her sister for you, and god knows who else she''s harmed. You need to start investigating properly. Maybe she''s the one behind the attacks on your grandmother and Melody!


    Lucas snapped out of his shock, stepped forward, and grabbed Quinn''s shoulders. "Exin clearly. What do you mean, she killed her own sister?"


    Quinn looked terrified. "I don''t know the details, but I do know that after the kidnapping incident years ago, udia didn''t actually die. It waster, when no one was paying attention, that Thalia did something...


    Back when Thalia and udia were still kids, despite being sisters, they not only looked different but also hadpletely contrasting personalities. Compared to udia, Thalia was like the ck sheep of the family.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Whenever udia was around,


    Thalia''s achievements and appearance were always

    overlooked. Even when it came to high school, udia effortlessly got into the best private high school. Thalia had to settle for an ordinary one.


    Despite Thalia''s efforts, their father would alwaysment, "Both of you are my daughters, so why can''t you be as sessful as udia? She''s already in Astoria High, practically on her way to a top university, I have to worry about which high school you''ll get into." Content befongs


    Thalia had grown ustomed to hearing such remarks, and every time she felt like expressing her anger, she would see her father''s disdainful expression and swallow her words. What was the use?


    She wanted to tell him that she was trying her best, that it was not because she was not talented but because udia was just too outstanding. Anyone would look useless ifpared to her.


    udia was someone who would stand up for her sister, but she was the one who was always praised. Her words, though well-meaning, sounded grating to Thalia''s ears.
