“No, I didn’t do it.” Melanie immediately lowered her head in denial. Her mind was blank, and her expression looked panicked even. How did he find out?
“You didn’t?” Hanson repeated coldly, his dark eyes sharp.
Melanie nodded as tears rolled down her face. Her wistful appearance might have been able to make other men pity her, but to Hanson, he felt nothing but disgust and annoyance.
He tossed the information from the investigation onto the table. “Look for yourself. I’ve never had the habit of accusing others.”
Melanie picked the documents up anxiously, and her face immediately fell.
All of this didn’t go unnoticed by Hanson, whose lips tugged down at the sight. “Does that look like you didn’t do it?”
“I… I…” Melanie immediately became regretful again. “Hanson, I was wrong! Please don’t get mad at me. It’s just that I care about you too much, which is why I did something this stupid. I won’t do it anymore in the future. Hanson, I really like you, so I was afraid that other women would snatch you away. Can’t you understand my feelings? I only made a mistake because I was too worried.”
However, Hanson only looked at her icily. “I’ve told you a long time ago. I will never have any feelings for you.”
“But, Hanson, we’ve been together for five years. Do you really not feel anything for me at all?” Melanie clutched her chest, feeling extremely pained.
“Don’t test my bottom line!” he warned before leaving.
As she watched his retreating back, Melanie collapsed onto a chair and clenched her fists. For five years, she had been unable to win over Hanson’s heart; now that Vania had reappeared, if the truth got exposed, she would not even have the chance to remain in the Luke Family! All at once, a dark glint flashed in her eyes. Hanson is mine, and only mine! No one can snatch him away from me!
After a pause, she grabbed her phone and called Vania. Once the call went through, she ordered, “Come to the appraisal event two hours earlier tomorrow.”
“Mm.”
Beep—
When she heard the curt answer followed by the sound of static from the phone, Melanie nearly exploded with anger. Where did this b*tch get this high and mighty attitude from in the past few years? She’s nothing but a pitiful bug that had been chased out from the Greyson Family!
