Brinleigh was still stewing in his sorrow at this point, but when he noticed the servant dragging the unconscious Lucinda away, he finally snapped back to his senses. He rushed forward to save her.
“What the hell are you doing?! Let her go!”
His voice rang out in the otherwise silent corridor, but the servant didn’t even pause.
Brinleigh was upon them now, and made to snatch Lucinda out of his hands.
ALL of a sudden, Melody appeared from out of nowhere and reached out to stop him.
“Don’t, Brinleigh. This is all my idea. Don’t even think about meddling with my plans.”
“Melody! Are you crazy?! If anything happens to her under our roof, there will be dire consequences! Did that even occur to you?”
Melody seemed unfazed.
“I know, but you have nothing to worry about.
I won’t kill her in the premises. You like her, right? Would you like to have her instead?”
Brinleigh froze, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
“What do you mean by that?”
“I knocked her out so that we can take her to your room.”
“You! How could you do such a thing?!”
Bringleigh stared at her in horror.
He had never imagined his sister to be this vicious.
