“Melody, have you ever considered the consequences? No matter how harsh your time in prison has been, there will come a day when you’re released. Your parents are waiting for you to come home. But if you die, they’ll be burdened with a lifetime of despair.”
Lucinda intentionally spoke with a gentle tone.
Moments ago, she had discreetly signaled Abel to seek assistance. Now, she saw him returning with a few men.
They were carrying a rescue cushion.
As everyone’s attention remained fixated on Melody atop the building, and Melody herself was engrossed in her confrontation with Lucinda, nobody noticed Abel quietly placing the rescue air cushions on the ground.
Melody burst into laughter, her delight evident when she heard Lucinda’s soft words.
“My father and mother allowed you to bully me and did nothing to punish you. They deserve to suffer now,” she seethed.
“Lucinda, even in death, I’ll drag you down to hell with me!”

With her arms open wide and eyes closed, Melody turned around and fell down from the top of the building.
The crowd erupted in panic, with many rushing to save her.
Fearing that Lucinda might be harmed in the process, the bodyguards arranged by Nathan swiftly sprang into action, shielding her from any danger.
She was well protected.
Seeing the sudden appearance of the bodyguards, Lucinda knew what had transpired.
“Did Nate send you?” she inquired.
“Yes, Mr. Payne is pretty worried about your safety.”
Pleased by how considerate Nathan had been, Lucinda smiled and then turned to the guards, swiftly instructing, “This place is a mess.
Round up all the reporters and have them stay, while asking everyone else to leave. Can you do that for me? Don’t worry about me; I‘11 manage just fine on my own.”
“No problem, Miss Simmons.”
The bodyguards wasted no time in clearing up the commotion.
Melody leaped off the building, fully expecting that her brains would shatter and she would die.
But much to her surprise, she landed safely on an air cushion, feeling no pain at all.
Before she could react, Abel swiftly approached, pinning her arms from behind.
Within a mere five minutes, the entire crew had dispersed, each member been warned to keep their mouth shut.
Meanwhile, the group of reporters who had captured Melody’s actions on video were being held back by four bodyguards, awaiting Lucinda’s arrival for negotiations.
