The realization hit Melanie hard. Hanson did not come to see her; instead, he was here to interrogate her. Even though her heart was pounding, she was able to keep a straight face. After all, she had help this time, and there was no way it could be traced back to her.
When he saw Melanie falling into a daze, Hanson added sarcastically, “Do you still remember what I told you five years ago?”
Melanie’s heart dropped the moment she heard the words ‘five years ago’. Something happened that year that she had to take with her to the grave.
Her eyes darted around wildly out of fear that she might let something slip in front of Hanson. Then, she carefully said, “I remember.”
That was the first time she had met Hanson. She had fallen in love with him at first sight and committed everything he said to memory. That day, she carried the children in her arms and came to Luke Estate to tell him about what happened that night. Truth be told, she was just trying her luck. If Hanson decided to ignore what she said, then there was nothing she could do. To her surprise, Hanson ran a DNA test on the children and decided to keep them and her as well.
At the time, she was on cloud nine since it was every woman’s dream to be with such a man. However, despite her joy, she could still hear his chilling words ringing in her ears.
He had once told her not to get greedy and start yearning for things that didn’t belong to her.
Every single word of warning that he ever told her was still fresh in her memory. As they began to flit across her mind, all her happiness and surprise at seeing Hanson had vanished instantly. Instead, she was now filled with dread.
Hanson had a terrifying look in his eyes. “You do remember.” He raised his hands and gave a clap.
Immediately, a group of men in black suits rushed in. They began to drag all of Melanie’s things into a truck.
