Her Seven Little Bodyguards novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Melanie had already made all the necessary arrangements here in Hammond. Once the chip was safe in her hands, she would be able to destroy Vania.

Still, a niggling thought crept into her heart. Where did Hanson get this information? Why has it been traced back to me all of a sudden?

There were a million questions running through her mind, but when she spoke, she focused on besmirching Vania. She wanted Hanson to start doubting Vania’s credibility in hopes that she could remove herself from all this.

Hanson did have some doubts about Vania, but deep down inside him, he believed that Vania would not go against him. Perhaps he wanted to trust that she would not stand against him.

When Melanie noticed Hanson’s tightly-knitted brows, she assumed that she had successfully sown seeds of doubt in his mind, so she doubled down. “Hanson, I’ve heard a lot about Vania having a sordid personal life. Maybe she ruffled some feathers she shouldn’t have, and now they’re out for revenge. Anyway, wasn’t she doing fine in Hammond? Why did she run off to such a rural place? There must be some secret that she’s trying to hide. Don’t be fooled by her appearance, for she has fooled a lot of people with that innocent look of hers. Hanson, I love you with my whole heart. You have to believe me.”

Hanson felt nothing but repulsion for Melanie, who was still spinning her web of lies. He was sorely disappointed by the fact that she refused to own up to her schemes even when the evidence was right there in her hands.

Back when Luke Corporation’s firewalls had been breached, Hanson had checked into Vania’s history. She had done so little in the past that it could not even fill a single page, so what was this talk about a sordid personal life?

His lone was icy as he said, “I’m done listening to all your lies. I told you to think carefully before you say anything, but you chose not to. From now on, you’re not allowed to have any contact with the children. Take the time to think about what you’ve done.”
