Chapter 404 Dead Men Tell No Tales
“Yara, are you afraid now?” Melissa squeezed her face like how she did to her earlier on. “Look at you now!”
Yara was so furious that she wished she could tear Melissa to pieces.
However, the moment she recalled that Melissa knew about her secret, she had no choice but to suppress her anger and be submissive.
“Melissa, although we have different mothers, I have always treated you nice most of the time, haven’t I?”
“My dear Yara, that wasn’t what you said just now when you were teaching me a lesson!” Melissa put on an innocent front, but she had a smug look in her eyes.
“Melissa, I beg of you. Please don’t tell anyone about this,” pleaded Yara. “If the Bowers family knows the truth, they won’t let me off. At the same time, they won’t let the Nichols family off either. When the reputation of the Nichols family goes down the drain, what’s going to happen to your future? Why don’t you keep this secret for me? Once I am married to Samuel, I will try my best to find a good husband for you…”
Melissa was not an ambitious person.
She was aware that she was not particularly intelligent. All she wanted was to fall in love with a wealthy and handsome man and marry him. As long as she could enjoy a life of luxury, she would not ask for much.
That was why she was tempted when she heard what Yara said. “Really? Are you lying to me?”
Yara threw her a question back. “You have my secret. Why would I be lying to you?”
“That’s true.” Melissa released her hand and straightened her back. “If you don’t find me a good husband, then I will tell the Bowers family about your secret! I doubt you will have the guts to lie to me again!”
“Yes, you’re right.”
Melissa left Yara’s bedroom.
As Yara was getting up from the floor, her eyes were filled with pure evil.
Melissa, Melissa. You are indeed a young lass with such a simple mind.
Why would I let you hold me hostage!
Only dead men can keep their mouths shut and never reveal any secrets.
