Hope It's Not Too Late to Love novel Chapter 296

Chapter 298

Bella was baffled. She had crossed paths with Melanie on several occasions, but they never interacted. Why did she suddenly come to see her? What was her intention?

"You're the one who bailed me out of jail."

"Is there anybody else here?" Melanie asked, sneering again as she looked at Bella's tearful expression. "It appears that Vania caused you significant harm."

"Vania? What does it have to do with her?"

Bella's thoughts became even more clouded when she heard Vania's name.

"It appears that you are still unaware of why you are incarcerated." Melanie raised her head, as if she knew everything.

"Why?" Bella had no idea, and when Melanie said that, she became very curious.

"Did you know that a group of people smashed Vania's house last night?"

"What does this have to do with me?" Bella shook her head as she asked.

"Of course it does. Those gangsters claimed you bribed them to destroy Vania's house. If you don't believe me, you can go back to the police station and inquire about it. They're the ones who locked you up." Melanie cast a glance in the direction of the police station. She pretended to be telling the truth.

Hearing her words, Bella returned her gaze, fearful of the police station. How could she possibly go back to the station? Not wanting to be wronged, she yelled angrily, "I didn't do this. I've never met these people. Why did they want to hurt me?"

"Are you certain you did not do it? Nobody believes you. Unless you have evidence, Vania's house will always be associated with you." Melanie continued to irritate her.

After the show ended that night, Bella went to accompany Director Levin. However, would he testify against her?

"I wonder if you have seen the things on the Internet," Melanie said, while Bella was still thinking about how to prove her innocence.

Bella took a breather to collect her thoughts before asking, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"It's nothing. I just wanted to remind you. Isn't it strange how everything happened so quickly?" Melanie, who appeared to understand what was going on, added, "Not everything is as simple as you think."

"How much do you know?" Bella knew Melanie understood what was going on.

"Do you really want to know?" Melanie persisted in defeating Bella's inner defenses in order to gain her trust as quickly as possible.

"I want to know everything," Bella replied, clearly falling right into Melanie's trap. She had now calmed down and decided to trust Melanie.

Despite Melanie's poor reputation online, she appeared to be someone she could rely on at the moment.

Melanie felt a surge of pride as she observed Bella's expression. She didn't intend to tell her everything on the spot, so she told her, "Get in the car. This isn't the place to talk."

Hearing that, Bella was convinced that some things shouldn't be discussed near the police station. Therefore, she opened the door and got into the car without hesitation.

Melanie sneered in her heart as she watched Bella get into the car, her face expressionless. She inquired, pretentiously concerned, "Where do you live? I'll take you home."

Bella immediately gave Melanie her apartment's address and then impatiently inquired, "Tell me right now. What is the reason for this?"
