Melody still remembered that she had said a lot of nasty things to Yvonne. Most of them were about insulting Tiffany and discussing the plan.

The reason why Melody was so confident and bold to say those words was because, in the original plan, Yvonne should have driven the car away from the scene after the car lost control and crashed into her.

However, Melody did not expect that Tiffany would appear in the middle of the plan.

What was even more unexpected was that Yvonne, who failed to escape, not only failed to fulfill the agreement between them but even exposed Melody.

Melody had clearly checked the car, but she did not expect it to be equipped with a recording device.

Actually, Yvonne’s counterattack move was brilliant. If Melody was exposed, she couldn’t deny it even if she wanted to.

Melody gritted her teeth and wondered, ‘No. I can’t let that happen! Once Thalia hears the rsations in the car, I’ll never be able to clear my name!‘

After some thought, she had an idea.

She walked forward and asked in disbelief, “Ms. Yvonne Shaw, you were injured the day before yesterday. I saved you. How could you… how could you repay kindness with ingratitude and frame me?”

After Melody finished speaking, she turned to look at Thalia and hurriedly explained, “Mrs. Kelley, it’s like this. The day before yesterday, Ms. Shaw passed by my house. I saw that she was injured, so I kindly brought her home to treat her wound, but I didn’t expect…”

She sighed bitterly and continued, “I didn’t expect to end up like this after saving her out of kindness.”

Hearing these words, Yvonne was dumbfounded and amazed at Melody’s superb acting skills.

If she weren’t the person involved, she would have believed Melody’s words without a doubt just by looking at her superb acting skills.

Thalia frowned as she listened. It was unknown if she believed Melody or not. She only said, “Facts speak louder than words. I believe that you’re innocent.”

After that, she walked toward the red sedan and opened the door. She was about to get in and search for the recording device that Yvonne had mentioned.

Seeing this, Melody got nervous and trembled slightly, wondering what she should do.

If there was a recording device, she would be doomed.

Yvonne, on the other hand, had a proud look on her face.

At first, she did not want to drag Melody into this.

However, it was Melody who came up with this plan. She had promised that Yvonne would be fine in advance, but in the end, the matter was exposed. Yvonne was unwilling to be the only scapegoat in their plan.

They were supposed to be allies. Yvonne was unwilling to be in trouble alone.

Therefore, she had to drag Melody down with her.

Yvonne’s expression was ruthless, and her eyes were filled with madness. She found it a pity that she could not drag Tiffany into hell with her.

She really didn’t want to give up just like that.

Tiffany ignored this lunatic and was about to get into the car to search for the recording device with Thalia. She approached the red car when she sensed something and glanced at the chassis of the car.

With just one glance, her expression instantly changed. Then, she rushed over at high speed and pulled down Thalia, who had just gotten into the car.

With a bang, the car’s chassis instantly caught fire.

The flames burned extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, the entire car was enveloped in flames.

Even though Tiffany reacted quickly and pulled Thalia back before this, her arm was still touched by the flame. Half of her sleeve was instantly burned.

Thalia was completely dumbfounded.

She still did not know what had happened. When she turned around and saw the car that was on fire, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately checked Tiffany’s arm. Are you burned?”

“No. I’m fime.” Tiffany shook her head.

At this moment, exclamations sounded from the crowd. The people by the roadside immediately scattered and ran.

They were afraid that the car would explode when it burned.

The chauffeur, David, immediately returned to his car. He took the fire extinguisher from the trunk and rushed over. Dry powder flew in the air, and soon, the flames were extinguished.

The entire process happened in just three minutes. Some passing drivers reacted quickly and rushed over with fire extinguishers.

A puff of white smoke rose, and all the flames were extinguished

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

However, the car abnormally caught fire, and it was dangerous. In a short period, many things in the car were burned, including the recorder that had been found.

The small plastic shell had long been burned into a sticky glue.

The recording inside was irreparable.

It was completely destroyed.

Yvonne stood rooted to the ground in disbelief, muttering to herself, “How could this be? How could this be…”

Her only evidence was destroyed just like that. Without that recording, no matter how much she said, Melody could still be innocent.

Yvonne yelled, “No way! This is impossible! You did something to the car, didn’t you? You did this. It must be you!”

Yvonne lost control and tried to break free from the officer’s grip to get even with Melody. However, she was taken away by the police.

With no more farce to watch, the crowd gradually dispersed.

Thalia had been frightened twice in a day. Now, she felt completely weak.

She wasn’t in the mood to go the beauty salon, so she went straight home.

Before getting into the car, Thalia turned around and saw that Melody was still standing at the same spot. Her eyes were filled with the grievance of being wronged.

Thalia sighed softly and raised her hand to signal for Melody to go over. “You must have been frightened too. Come, get in the car. I will send you back.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Kelley.” With that, Melody got into the car timidly. Her eyes were red and she looked very pitiful.

Thalia comforted her, “It’s alright. It’s over now.”

Unexpectedly, Melody lowered her head and tears rolled down her face. “Mrs. Kelley, I’m not worried about myself. I just watched you go through danger just now. I was really too afraid… I don’t know why, but when I look at you, I replace you very familiar. I want to get close to you.”

After saying that, she looked up and hurriedly explained, “I don’t have any intention of pulling strings. I just have that feeling. Mrs. Kelley, please don’t get me wrong.”

“I won’t. “Thalia said and looked away.

She felt the same way.

The so–called mother–daughter bond was a mysterious attraction.

Thalia suppressed the sadness in her heart and said, “When you go out again, you have to be careful. You can’t have the intention to harm others, but you have to be wary of others. You have to… have to protect yourself.”

“Thank you, Mrs. Kelley. I know that.” Melody wiped her tears. She acted tough and put on a smile. “I need to thank almost got yourself injured in order to save me again…”

you.

You

When she said this, she glanced at Tiffany.

The hidden meaning was obvious. Melody meant that Thalia was willing to risk her life for her, so she mattered a lot to Thalia.

Tiffany chuckled softly, and a trace of mockery appeared in her clear eyes.

She thought that the timing was too coincidental when the car suddenly caught fire.

She didn’t believe that it was not man–made.

Of course, other than that, the fact that Thalia risked her life to save Melody was indeed beyond Tiffany’s previous understanding.

When Tiffany thought about the check of 200 thousand dollars that Charlie had given to the Princeton family previously, she looked down and wondered if there was any inside story about that.

She didn’t want to investigate before, but now it seemed that she had to investigate thoroughly.
