By now, George truly became anxious due to what had just occurred. No matter how indifferent he was, Melanie was his daughter, and he stepped up to stop Vania. "Are you done with your nonsense yet? Melanie is your younger sister. Do you even have a heart at all?" Then, he couldn't help but order, "Release her right now."
Vania gazed at the arrogant George expressionlessly, and without explaining anything, she simply tossed a USB drive to him.
On the way here, her babies at home had already sent a copy of the recorded voice call they had found to her phone, and that was precisely the conversation between Malanie and Susan as they planned to use a janitor to abduct Jude. Still, in that conversation, they only mentioned the sleeping drug and nothing about the strange drug.
The sight of the USB drive sent Josie's heart into a fluster as she knew what had transpired, and she thought, Didn't Melanie say that everything is foolproof? So, how did Vania find out about this, then? And now that she has found out, what will happen to Melanie?
She was instantly paralyzed with fear, and she stopped wailing as her mind went through how she could fool George later.
Vania couldn't be bothered to explain herself to someone she didn't deem worthy of her time and only warned icily, "If my child is fine, all of you will live peaceful lives, or else, you will all be buried with him."
Not a single one of them would be off the hook.
On the other side, Melanie was already dragged into the car and couldn't move because she was tied up.
"Let me go, let me go!" she shouted repeatedly, but Hanson and Vania wouldn't ride in the same car as her. So, it was just a waste of effort, even if she screamed her lungs out.
In the darkest interrogation room in a police station, Vania placed the voice recording in front of Melanie.
"You can drop your pretense here and tell me where the antidote is."
Melanie completely ignored Vania, fixed her gaze on Hanson, who was wearing a stoic face, and laughed hysterically with her head thrown back. She had finally exposed her true self.
She knew that even if she continued with this pretense, Hanson would never believe her anymore.
Then, she threw a vengeful look at Vania. "Don't even dream about it."
After all this bitch has done to me, I want her to have a taste of losing everything, too, Melanie thought.
Jude was merely her first pawn, and she had much more to do after this. In addition, there was no antidote to this drug.
Her laughter turned even more vicious at the sight of the wrath in Vania's eyes. "However, I think I'll offer you a chance if you agree to one condition of mine."
Her eyes were glued to Hanson as she negotiated her terms. Clearly, this condition had something to do with him, and Vania knitted her brows tightly together because she could already guess what she wanted.
Suddenly, she heard her cry out in sorrow, "Hanson, do you really love Vania so much?" After that, her tone turned frivolous again. "Hanson, if you agree to let me return to you and make me Mrs. Luke, I'll definitely save Vania's child."
Vania stepped up and blocked her vision. "What makes you think that we'll agree to your condition?"
A snigger escaped Melanie's lips. "Because this is the only way for you to save your child. Unless you have no intention to save him at all."
"You'll never have his heart," Vania pointed out.
"So, what? I want the position of Mrs. Luke, and only I can be the one in this position." The tone in her voice gave one the chills as obsession and viciousness clouded her eyes.
Nevertheless, her obsessiveness and confidence seemed like a joke in Vania's eyes.
"Melanie, I think you're building castles in the air," Vania said mockingly. "The more you want something, the more I won't let you have your way."
