Therefore, Melody thought about why she should be threatened by Edward.
She sneered. "Edward, do you know the consequences of you being so reckless over a woman?"
"Consequences? That's something you have to consider, Ms. Sanders," Edward said.
He hugged Jeanne and was about to leave.
"Stop!" Melody shouted, "Where are you taking her?! Do you know what situation she's in now? If you dare to bring her out of this door, I'll have people arrest you for ignoring the laws and regulations of Harken!"
Edward gave Melody a cold glance.
He said in a low voice, "Nox."
"Yes." Nox quickly went forward.
After standing on the side for so long and watching this long drama, it was finally his turn to go on stage.
"Bring the bail pending trial document for bail to Ms. Sanders and let her read it word by word!" Edward said coldly.
Melody did not believe it.
She did not believe that Edward could have gotten a bail pending trial for Jeanne under her authority.
Melody took the document from Nox's hands.
She looked at the words and was very agitated. "It's fake! It must be forged by you!"
Edward sneered. "Whether it's fake or not, you can verify it yourself."
After saying that, he left.
Nox hurriedly followed behind him.
Melody watched them leave smoothly. At this moment, she was so angry that she wanted to kill them.
How was it possible?!
How could Edward be qualified to let Jeanne be released on bail pending trial?
Melody did not believe it.
She gritted her teeth and quickly picked up her phone to make a call.
The call was quickly put through. "Did you handle that bail pending trial?!"
"Ms. Sanders, I was the one who handled it, but I was also forced into a corner. Fourth Master Swan took all the laws and regulations of Harken. There was no way for me to reject him. He even used the Swan Enterprise's real estate as collateral for Jeanne's bail. You have to know that their real estate's total market value is over a hundred billion dollars. I have no reason to reject him. If I reject him, once the truth is exposed, it'll become the inspection bureau's problem. In that case, I'd be abusing the private law while you and the chief won't be able to explain it to the people!"
Melody's hand was trembling as she held her phone.
Edward actually used the Swan Enterprise's real estate as collateral for Jeanne!
Melody would be lying to herself if she still thought that
Edward only used Jeanne as a shield and did not like her!
She gritted her teeth.
It was good that she knew.
It was good that she confirmed it.
This way, she would not hold back from killing Jeanne.
Even if she could not get Edward, she would make him regret it for the rest of his life!
Jeanne sat in Fourth Master Swan's expensive car.
The car was very quiet.
Jeanne actually thought for a second that Fourth Master Swan had used a fake bail release document to trick Melody. Logically speaking, Melody had done so much, so she must have handled all the steps. Most people would not dare to disobey her orders... Of course, after thinking about it carefully, Jeanne knew Fourth Master Swan would not do anything illegal. She was only curious about what he had done to bail her out.
"Ms. Lawrence, you really can't stay still for a second," Edward suddenly said, breaking the silence in the car.
Jeanne's eyes moved slightly, and she turned to look at Fourth Master Swan.
She did not know if it was her eyes that were playing tricks on her. At this moment, she seemed to feel that Fourth Master Swan had lost his aura. He had lost his aura from the detention center just now. He seemed to have become much weaker.
Yes, he was weak.
Jeanne thought that perhaps it was her illusion.
Fourth Master Swan had always been high and mighty, standing tall and unyielding.
Jeanne responded with some sarcasm, "Isn't this all because of you?"
Edward looked at Jeanne, "So you're angry?"
"No," Jeanne said bluntly, "All karma has its consequences. I deserved it for sleeping with you in the past. Now that you're taking revenge on me, I have nothing to say."
Edward's expression changed slightly.
"Melody is targeting me because of your intentional actions. Given how you treated me in front of her just now, I suppose I won't be far from death next time even if I don't die this time."
"So this is how you think of me, Ms. Lawrence."
"Fourth Master." Jeanne looked very serious. "Seven years ago, it was my fault. Now, I should pay the price. However, if I'm lucky enough to escape this time, please be magnanimous and let me go. I only have one life."
