Lucinda persisted, “There are only a few folks in Cadiered capable of helping you escape Stastle prison undetected. Who do you think I should suspect? Mekhi, Graham, Larkin Valdez, Theodore Kelly, or maybe Nathan?”
“Do you really want to know?” Melody chuckled, regarding her with a smug sense of satisfaction.
“Of course.”
Sporting a mysterious and haughty smile, Melody said, “Lucinda, you can’t even fathom how shocked I was when he paid me a visit!
Your beloved husband has been masquerading as a harmless lamb right by your side all this time. I can hardly wait for the day you finally see his true colors!
And that day is drawing near! Hahaha!”
With her eyes gleaming with malevolence, her face twisted and flushed, Melody resembled a Lunatic.
Lucinda slapped her twice more, each strike more forceful than the last.

“How dare you defame Nate! Do you really want to experience the consequences of provoking me?”
With a swollen face, Melody glared sarcastically at Lucinda, refusing to offer any explanation.
Abel inquired, “Miss Simmons, what should we do with her?”
Lucinda nonchalantly stood up and collected the wet tissue from Conor to wipe the hand she had just struck Melody with.
“Take her to the National Security Bureau and hand her over to Nate.
She escaped from prison, intentionally caused trouble, and concealed a weapon with the intent to harm me. Let the law handle it.”
“Understood.”
Despite her failed attempt to kill Lucinda, Melody continued to wear a twisted smile, as if she had descended into madness.
As the bodyguards led her away in handcuffs, she fixated her crazed gaze on Lucinda.
Before leaving, she continued her taunting, “Oh, it must be agonizing to be betrayed by the one you love so deeply! Lucinda! I’ll be waiting for the day you discover the truth and crumble!”
Lucinda stood there, mulling over Melody’s cryptic words.
Rickey, who always remained composed, approached her and whispered, “Judging by her expression, it seems like she may not be lying. She might actually know something.”
Lucinda’s face remained cold.
“By law, she will meet an unfortunate end. In this situation, she would say nothing.”
She glanced in the direction where Melody was being dragged and sneered, “Besides, what she just said was the delirious ramblings of a dying person. I trust that Nate would never harm me.”
Rickey thought for some time and agreed with her.
