Chapter 274
At half past midnight.
The shadows of the trees swayed gently, as the night deepened and the dew grew heavier
This was the third night Melody’s family moved into the new villa.
The world was enveloped in silence.
Melody lay in the master bedroom, too afraid to sleep with the lights off. Every time she closed her eyes, she could see those despairing and incredulous eyes staring back at her.
‘But this isn’t my fault!‘ she thought. Jade had seen something she wasn’t supposed to! She even threatened to expose everything, and I couldn’t take that risk. If she talked, it would all be over for me! This is why I had no choice but to silence
her…
Melody trembled all over, wrapping herself tightly in the blanket, whispering to herself for comfort, “It’s alright, it’s alright. It’ll be fine as time passes. Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid…“.
After several minutes of mental preparation, the deep–seated fear hidden within her finally eased a little.
But just then, the bedroom light flickered and suddenly went out
The room was plunged into darkness, and a wave of terror gripped Melody, sending chills down her spine.
‘Did the power just go out? she thought.
Melody did not dare to get up. She was about to call Jansen over to light a candle for her, but the curtains in her bedroom were pulled open before she could make a sound,
The pale moonlight shone in.
There was a thin young girl sitting by her window. Her long hair was disheveled and she was dressed in red. She looked strange and incredibly sinister.
Melody took a closer look at the face and realized that it was Jade
“Ah!”
Melody’s scalp prickled with terror, and she let out a piercing scream, “Help! Please, someone help me! Save me!”
But
пр matter how loud she screamed, there was no response. The rooms next door, where her parents and Jansen were, remained eerily silent. Everyone seemed to be asleep. They were unable to hear anything, let alone come to her aid
The person by the window finally spoke. “Are you afraid of seeing me?” she asked.
Jade…”
Melody trembled. “Please don’t look for me, okay? The person you should be looking for is Tiffany. If it wasn’t for her, how could you have died?”
Haha.”
Achilling, grotesque laugh emerged from “Jade“s throat.
She pointed to the marks on her neck, filled with bruises from being strangled, her face twisted with venomous hatred. “Do
remember this? Your grip was so strong. I was in so much pain.

“All Stop talking, stop talking!”
Melody clutched her head, teetering on the brink of a complete breakdown like never before.
However, “Jade” was relentless and continued speaking. “I’ve treated you so well. How could you bear to hurt me? Melody, oh Melody, you’re really ruthless!” she said.
“You forced me to do that!” Melody yelled.
In her hysteria, she pulled a knife from beneath her pillow and said viciously, “If you didn’t see something you shouldn’t have, would I have taken your life?
“So what if you have already become a ghost? I can kill you once and I can kill you a second time!”
After saying that, Melody lifted the blanket and pounced toward the window. Her eyes were bloodshot and ruthless. “Come on! Do you think I’m afraid of you?” she yelled.
Under the pale moonlight, Melody, despite being human, was even more menacing than a ghost.
Tiffany already knew that Melody was behind Jade’s death, but bearing Melody’s confession still sent chills down her
Tiffany thought, Melody is such a ruthless woman!”
spine.
Melody lunged forward like a madwoman, but in the next moment, the curtain fluttered with the wind, and the girl in the red dress vanished without a trace.
it an illusion? Is it a nightmare? Or has Jade really come to take my life? Melody thought.
She shuddered and could only grip the knife in her hand tightly
In the car, Tiffany took off her oversized red dress and removed her makeup with cleansing wipes. She only heaved a sigh of relief when all traces of makeup were wiped away.
Jeremy asked, “The murderer is indeed her. What should we do next?”
“This act needs to play out for a few more days. Tiffany said.
Tiffany was feeling quite satisfied with the result, With Jeremy cutting the power to set the mood and her masterful disguise, it would not be long before Melody completely broke down.
Melody already has a guilty conscience. If she was pestered every night, what would she do?‘ she wondered. ‘Hmm… She would probably find an expert to save her.
Tiffany curled her lips and her eyes were filled with coldness. “The person June found will come in handy now.”
In the next few days, Melody became visibly thinner.
This was because she could not sleep well every night. At midnight, she would see Jade sitting by her window.
Sometimes, when Melody accidentally fell asleep and was half–asleep, the person she was deeply afraid of would even sit by her bed and chuckle coldly.
Though Melody acted tougher than any ghost, the endless torment followed her no matter where she stayed–whether it was a hotel, a mansion, the school, or even at the Harper family’s manor. Melody would always find herself haunted in the dead of night.

Melody went to visit Alexia again. Seeing how haggard Melody looked, Kenneth was extremely worried. He asked, “Didnt you sleep well these few days?
“Are you still traumatized by what happened last time?”
“Yeah.”
Melody nodded weakly,
She forced a bitter smile.
This was her unspeakable secret. Other than this pretentious excise, she could not say a word.
“Let me bring you to see a psychiatrist.”
Kenneth stroked her head and added, “You might feel better after that.”
“No, it’s okay…”
Melody shook her head. “I’ll be fine after a while.”
At this moment, a servant from the Harper family respectfully served a glass of coffee. “Miss Princeton, please enjoy.”
“Thank you.”
Ever since she saved Alexia, Melody could come and go as she pleased in the Harper family’s manor.
With Kenneth’s support and his parents‘ tacit approval, the servants had more or less treated Melody as the future mistress of this place and behaved respectfully toward her. No one dared to slight her.
Now, the Kelley family and the Harper family had completely turned against each other.
The possibility of a marriage alliance was gone. Melody’s goal had been achieved perfectly.
If it were not for Jade pestering her every night, Melody would be very happy now.
