Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 732

Victoria had long disliked Melanie, and when she heard Melanic yelling at Christina, the anger she had barely suppressed flared up again.

“Watch your tone, Melanie.” Victoria swung her fist at the other woman as a warning. “Or do you want another beating?”

Having experienced Victoria's wrath, Melanie shivered involuntarily as she huddled in the corner of the couch with a blanket around her.

Christina broke the tense atmosphere. Compared to Victoria's rough methods, Christina preferred to use non-confrontational methods.

“T have given you a few days to think. You should have figured out why I had someone lock you up.”

Christina smiled lightly, but her gaze was ice-cold. “I want to know why you suddenly changed your mind and decided to cause trouble for Sebastian.”

Melanie sniffled arrogantly. “If 1 tell you, will you act as if nothing happened and let me go?”

Victoria sneered. “Have you ever seen a mistress with a happy ending?”

“I told you, my relationship with Mr. Taggart is consensual. Since I'm not forcing him to take any responsibility for me, I'm technically not his mistress,” Melanie retorted fearfully.

Hearing this, Victoria exploded in anger. “Nonsense!

Sebastian clearly doesn't know you. You used despicable means to manipulate him. Consensual relationship? Bullsh*t! Are you not ashamed of what you said?”

Besides being Victoria's rival, Melanie was nothing more than a shameless woman trying to get into bed with Sebastian. In the face of such a vixen, Victoria's years of good upbringing collapsed at this moment.

If it weren't for Christina watching by the side, Melanie wouldn't have been so lucky. She wouldn't be able to taunt Victoria while wrapped in a blanket and enjoying the warmth.

Although Melanie was a prisoner, she still held her head high and stubbornly declared, “Although you're dating Mr. Taggart, you're not even willing to acknowledge him officially. How are you fit to compete with me? It's evident enough that the Lesleys look down on Mr. Taggart’s background. Just look at the recent scandals exposing your relationship. The Lesleys clearly consider your relationship a disgrace!”

Smack!

The air seemed to freeze.

Christina's hand connected with Melanie's cheek in a resounding slap, her face remaining impassive.

Victoria stood frozen, her eyes wide with shock, taking a moment to process what had just happened.

Meanwhile, Melanie covered her burning cheek and glared at Christina angrily. Biting her lower lip tightly, she didn't say a word.

“This is my house; Victoria is my guest and my friend. You need to be mindful of your boundaries.”

Christina gathered all the photos scattered on the coffee table and tossed them directly at Melanie, a display of her defiance and support for Victoria. “I had them verified. All these photos were digitally manipulated. Melanie, I'll give you one last chance.

Who instructed you to do this?”

As Melanie touched her swollen face, she scanned the photos on the ground one by one. She replied calmly, “I want to become famous, so I found a rich person to back me up. It’s too difficult to win over Nathaniel, and I don't want to waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. That’s why I approached Sebastian. He is a popular figure around Nathaniel and has been managing the entertainment company for him. If I get involved with him, I can at least have leverage over him even if I don’t succeed. I will have secured my future in this lifetime.”
