Chapter 281
Tiffany closed her eyes and said slowly, “It’s simple. I want you to be a witness. You are to reveal everything when the time is right.”
If Declan Jahn were to testify. it entailed turning himself in and admitting his guilt.
He gritted his teeth. After some hesitation, he finally nodded.
Even if he turned himself in, he was only an accomplice. Moreover, he had never done anything to Alexia Harper. He had only listened to orders and taken photos. He would receive at most a jail sentence of a few years.
If he did not agree to testify, he would still be implicated when Melody Princeton’s murder was exposed.
Caught in a “Damned if I do, damned if I don’t dilemma, Declan realized it was better to go for self–preservation than to end up as a scapegoat for the Princeton siblings. “Alright, I agree
Now that the matter was settled, Tiffany gestured with her hand. “Good. You may leave.”
After Declan was taken away, June Spencer asked worriedly, “Miss Kelley, will this person betray us later?
“He won’t. He doesn’t look like he’s so dumb that he’s beyond hope.
That’s good…” June nodded.
She could not help lamenting. That girl Melody Princeton is so young yet she is so ruthless!”
She was even capable of taking the life of a classmate who had helped her so many times.
Jade Payne probably could not believe it herself at the point of her death
Tiffany looked into the distance. After a long while, she suddenly said. The weather tomorrow… won’t be good.”
June seemed to understand Tiffany’s underlying meaning. She immediately said, “Don’t worry, Miss Kelley. Everything is ready. All we have to do is wait for Melody Princeton to take the bait.”
The next day, there was a slight drizzle accompanied by the autumn wind.
Melody came to the Payne family’s breakfast cafeteria to help for the third consecutive day. As soon as she stepped into the cafeteria, she shouted enthusiastically to her godmother, “Mrs. Payne, I’m here!”
Mrs. Payne was overjoyed to see Melody. She held the girl’s hand affectionately as if the girl was her own daughter.
“Come, Melody. Try this sweet potato and lentil soup. Didn’t you say you liked it yesterday? I made it for you this morning!”
“Thank you, Mrs. Payne!” Melody took a sip and smiled sweetly. It’s delicious!”
Mrs. Payne was delighted..
Today was the seventh day after Jade Payne’s passing. With Melody’s presence to comfort them, Jade’s parents were able to bury the pain in their hearts more deeply.
At least they could hold back their tears in public.
“You are such a good girl.” Mrs. Payne’s heart ached terribly but she still felt a little gratified.
The murderer had taken her daughter, but God had compensated her with a replacement.
“Let me help you wash the dishes, Mrs. Payne” As Melody spoke, she put on the apron and went into the kitchen. She quickly started washing the dishes.
For the
past
few days. Melody had come here every day and helped for hours. The work was hard, but she never complained or said that she was tired.
Even the old men playing chess at the entrance and staff from the shops nearby could not help but compliment the Payne couple on their good fortune.
However, in reality…
Melody was just putting on an act.
She believed that she was destined to be a rich man’s wife in the future. How could she be willing to wash dishes for others?
The reason she worked so hard without complaint was….
Then again, after listening to the fortune teller, she did have fewer nightmares lately,
Although she still saw Jade Payne from time to time, the pressure was not as great as before.
Yesterday, when Melody went to consult the fortune teller, he said that this was a good development. It meant that the vengeful vibes had decreased.
Following this, she only needed to continue taking care of Jade’s parents and make them happy until the seventh day, after which she would have to go to the cemetery in the afternoon to seek forgiveness in front of Jade’s tomb.
Once she had done all this, Melody would never be harassed again. She would endure this period patiently.
After the breakfast cafeteria closed at 11 a.m., Melody brought Mr. and Mrs. Payne out for lunch and made sure the grieving couple enjoyed themselves thoroughly
