"It was... It was Wendy who did this to Melody, but I've also asked Leo to find out if there was anyone else involved," replied Lucas.

Cedric fell silent. Too many things had happened in such a short period. The successive accidents involving their closest family members had left them deeply distressed. Despite this, they had to deal with what lay ahead.

"You stay here with Melody. I'll go check on the company. No matter what, we need to catch the other culprits so Melody could have some closure."

Lucas lifted his bloodshot eyes. "Grandpa, you..."

"You don't need to say anything. We're family. Just pull yourself together quickly. Melody still needs you."

Lucas nodded. Just as Cedric was about to leave, he stopped him. "Grandpa, you stay here. Call me immediately if anything happens. I need to go somewhere."

All of this was somehow related to Thalia.

Thalia was restless at home. She had a bad feeling ever since the day she joined forces with Wendy.

'That woman is truly insane. She's willing to sacrifice everything to bring Melody down. There's no guarantee she won't drag me down with her,' thought Thalia.

Thus, from the very beginning, she had prepared for all eventualities to ensure she could escape unscathed if things went south.

Seeing Thalia pacing around the house, Quinn asked her, "What's the matter with you? You've been restless all day."

"What's it to you? Why don't you go and flirt around with some man like you always do," snapped Thalia. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Quinn pouted. She found Thalia increasingly unpredictable.

Ding, dong!

"I'm coming!"

"Who'd come at this hour?"

Thalia looked alarmingly toward the door. She had a feeling it might be Lucas. She rubbed her face vigorously and put on a calm expression. Everything would be fine as long as she kept her mouth shut.

"Mister Lucas, what are you doing here at this hour? Aren't you supposed to be at the hospital taking care of your grandma? Has she woken up yet?"

Quinn was puzzled. She knew Lucas

and Melody were shuttling between the hospital and the company, so why would he show up at their place? She instinctively looked back. at Thalia.

"No, my grandmother hasn't regained consciousness yet, but thank you for your concern. I'm actually here to see Thalia." Lucas' tone was unusually cold. Quinn nodded instinctively. "Well... I'll go back to my room then, so that you two can have some space."

Thalia stepped forward, forcing a

bright smile on her face. "Lucas, what are you doing here? Quinn and I thought you had good news. Have you eaten? Do you want me to cook you something?"

Lucas closed the door behind him. His tall stature seemed oppressive, causing Thalia to involuntarily take two steps back.

"No, that won't be necessary. I came to ask you something."

"Oh... Well, if you have anything to ask, just go ahead, Lucas. After all, we've known each other for so many years, so there's nothing we can't talk about."
