A disgruntled expression appeared on her face as Wendy recalled the situation. "Those thugs have no sense of loyalty at all. They switch sides based on who pays more. Hmph! Well, now they won't even get a penny! Serves them right!"

Wendy seemed oblivious to the fact that she was about to be arrested as a criminal. She continued to insult the thugs, not realizing the impending consequences.

"Explain what you mean by 'switching sides'?" pressed the police officer further.

"You see, those thugs were deceived by Melody. I told them that woman had no money, that she only knew how to deceive people, but they wouldn't believe me!" responded Wendy as if it were a joke. With just a few questions, they could discern the cunning nature within Wendy. In her eyes, Melody's suffering brought her satisfaction. That was why she was willing to hurt her, even if it meant there was a risk of her hurting herself.

"You have no idea about Melody's true nature. She acts all innocent, but she's more despicable than anyone! Even that man was deceived by her act!"

Wendy started blushing, showing a look of longing and infatuation when speaking of 'that man'.

The police officer was puzzled. "Which man are you talking about?"

"The one-" Wendy's expression shifted as she recalled the scene of Lucas carrying Melody away. "The one who was foolishly lured by Melody to stupidly go rescue her!"

The police officers recording Wendy's statement exchanged glances and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

'This woman is completely lost in her fantasy,' they thought. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Wendy was the one jealous of Melody and the one who plotted to kidnap her, yet she was confidently expressing her delusions.

"Miss Wendy, please refrain from talking about your imaginary scenarios. We're all adults with sound judgment here. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure Mister Lucas knows Miss Melody much better than you do." The police officers not only disbelieved Wendy but also regarded her as if she were a lunatic.

Wendy suddenly became furious, slamming the table and attempting to stand up. However, she forgot that her hands were cuffed, rendering her completely immobile.

"What I'm saying is all true! You fools will regret not listening to me, just like those three thugs! Melody's facade tricked you all!"

The officers were familiar with people like Wendy, who was unrepentant and stubborn. Instead of talking some sense into her, they simply documented her statement calmly.

"The three thugs were caught because of their excessive greed. They broke the law, so we arrested them. And you, Miss Wendy, are arrested on charges of hiring someone to kidnap Miss Melody. In a way, you're in no position to look down on those three thugs."

"What?" Only then did Wendy realize her predicament, and panic set in. Her hands, tied together under the table, fumbled nervously. "What evidence do you have to arrest me? Why are you accusing me of hiring someone to kidnap Melody? I want my lawyer!"

Wendy immediately rang up Helen and said, "I'm stuck in the police station because of Melody. Find me a lawyer, now!"

As soon as she heard that Wendy was being held at the police station, Helen shot up from the sofa, surprising Ethan, who sat beside her.

Ethan frowned. "Who is it? Why did you become so anxious?"

Helen, afraid she might have misheard, exclaimed, "Where are you again? Why are you at the police station? What happened?"

Ethan quickly set aside the newspaper he was reading. Who was at the police station?

"Oh, who else can hate me so much? This is none other than your precious daughter Melody's fault! Hurry up and bring me a lawyer. Otherwise, they're really going to lock me up!" Helen nodded, still panicking when the call ended.

"Who called you? Who's in trouble at the police station? Did Melody cause trouble again? I've always said she's a troublemaker. She insisted on moving out, and now, look, she's ended up in the police station... I'm not young anymore, yet I have to go bail her out? When is she going to stop embarrassing us?"

Helen shook her head and interrupted him, "It's not Melody, it's Wendy. Wendy...said that Melody framed her, and that was how she ended up at the police station. Now she's waiting for us to bring her a lawyer."

Ethan was taken aback. "What? My Wendy?! What did Melody do? Why did she frame Wendy?"
