Lucinda furrowed her brow and asked uncertainly, “Melody?”
Melody paused for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

“Lucinda, I never expected you to recognize me. You’re surprised to see me here, aren’t you?”
Despite her bloodshot eyes hidden beneath disheveled hair, the spitefulness in Melody’s gaze couldn’t be concealed. She locked eyes with Lucinda, her stare full of venom.
Lucinda squinted her eyes and didn’t say a word.
Melody turned towards the media and raised her voice, “I am Melody Hernandez, the daughter of the Hernandez family. This woman is the reason I was unjustly sentenced and sent to prison!
And she didn’t stop there. She paid others to torment me day and night while I was locked away. She destroyed my life!
Lucinda! Remember, even in death, I will haunt you! Today, my blood will stain that stage. Even with Cyrus’ support, I’ll ensure you’re cursed by the public for the atrocities you’ve committed against me!

And you, Noelle! You stole my man! As the other woman in our relationship, you should be banished from the entertainment circle due to your immoral conduct! How can you shamelessly enjoy the admiration of countless fans and continue to play lead roles in movies?”
Her words sent shockwaves through everyone who heard them.
Lucinda, the show’s major investor, had allegedly thrown an innocent woman behind bars fueled by a personal vendetta.

She had been a third wheel in others’ relationship?!

Among the onlookers, whispers were exchanged, heads turned, and eyes darted in animated conversations.
The media, ever vigilant, caught every word that escaped Melody’s lips in their recording devices.
The air crackled with disbelief, but amidst the swirling chaos, Lucinda remained as composed as ever.
She took a couple of confident strides forward. Casting her gaze up at the unhinged woman before her, a contemptuous smirk tugged at her lips.
“Melody, you think a few petty words can tarnish my reputation?
You want to take a leap off this building? Be my guest. I’ll be here, enjoying the show.” With her arms crossed, her mesmerizing eyes glimmered with icy superiority, with a touch of cutting sarcasm.
“Lucinda, you can’t…” Noelle intervened, her voice brimming with concern as she held Lucinda’s wrist.
If Melody were to meet her end right here and now, regardless of the truth or falsehood of her accusations, the moment it hit the web, the public would be consumed by pity and sympathy for her.
