As she watched the men leave, Melody curled up in the corner of the bed. She silently hugged her legs, not conversing with the thug with the buzzcut. She prayed that Lucas would save her, though she was unsure whether he would.

When they brought the person who hired them, she would have to transfer money to them. However, the limit on the card Lucas gave her had been used up. She was afraid that if Lucas did not arrive in time, they would...

Melody held back her tears; she knew it was not the right time to cry.

'But...still...'

Melody recalled the previous night at home when she and Lucas each occupied a desk, tending to their own matters. Even though they did not talk much and Lucas already held someone else dear to his heart, just sitting in the same room with him quietly made her happy enough.

Such a comforting warmth sharply contrasted with the cold, unfinished building she was in at that moment. She wanted to leave this place so badly. She wanted to go back home and have a good night's sleep. Having just strained her brain dealing with those thugs, she merely bought herself some time. She could not truly relax, so she leaned weakly against the wall. A damp and cold smell wafted from the mottled wall, causing Melody to involuntarily frown.

Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted the thug playing with a small knife, as if silently warning her not to think about escaping.

Meanwhile...

BD sent a message to Wendy, instructing her to come downstairs.

[You've finished the job?]

Wendy found it a bit strange as it could not be over so quickly.

[There was a bit of an accident. Melody is in our car right now. It's best if you come to confirm her identity as we don't want to capture the wrong person.]

BD had long prepared an excuse. Since Wendy hated Melody enough to destroy her, she should be eager to come downstairs and look at how miserable Melody was, right?

As expected, Wendy asked where they were.

[At the blind spot of the surveillance camera around the corner from your home. You should wear a cap so nobody will recognize you.]

Wendy put on a cap and went downstairs. Little did she know that as excited as she was to witness Melody's downfall, she found her mouth and nose being covered by a pair of large hands. 'What... What's going on?'

She only felt a sudden dizziness. The last thing she saw was the clear blue sky before she lost consciousness.

The blonde dragged Wendy into the car.

Once they were out of the city, the blonde said excitedly, "Boss, your idea was really brilliant. The moment Wendy heard that Melody had been caught, she couldn't sit still! I can't help but wonder what happened between the two of them to make Wendy hate Melody so much!" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

BD drove steadily. "It's always those few things. Either it's for reputation or money. Women might even hold grudges against each other because they like the same guy. Just like how men would fight over women."

"Well, I guess that's why they say, 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'," said the blonde.

BD glared at him, reminding him to sit properly. "We just need to fulfill Melody's demands and wait for her to transfer the money. Don't waste your time thinking about what happened between them. Just keep an eye on her, and make sure she doesn't wake up and scream."

"Hehe, you got it, boss! It's the first time I've seen so much money, so I got a bit excited. Let's go abroad after this job is done, boss! Nobody knows us there, and we can start fresh. Maybe even open up a business!"
