Madam Escaped Again Sir novel Chapter 1269

"So, what happened?" Sonia frowned.

Cynthia shook her head. "They wanted her dead. To them, that woman was nothing but a liability. A big one at that. They'd never be able to live normally with her dragging them down. They had to work all day and every day just to make enough money to pay her medical bills. Eventually, their love was worn out by their exhaustion. All they wanted was to cut her off. Melody and Tina offered them just what they wanted. And they made money out of it."

Cynthia wasn't a good person at all, but even she thought what the woman's family did was inhumane. She had nothing but disgust for them. "They probably thought they deserved the money after all they went through for her."

Sonia gasped, a cold shudder running down her spine. "That's… terrifying. I can't believe her family would do this."

"Family? No, they're demons," Cynthia remarked.

Sonia closed her eyes. "Were they not aware that Melody would kill their daughter once they handed her over?"

"No, they knew that. But I did tell you that they thought of that woman as nothing but a burden. A liability. Something that holds them back from normalcy. The thing that keeps them in debt. They were willing to fork out money for her treatment at first, but eventually, they wanted nothing to do with her. Time changed them. They wanted her dead but wouldn't do it since she was family. And the law would come after them if they did. When Melody offered them a hundred and fifty grand to relieve them of the woman, they happily took the offer. They knew the woman would die, but so what?" Cynthia shrugged. "They wanted to kill her off anyway. If someone could help them out and even pay them for it, there was no reason to say no, was it?"

After a long moment of silence, Sonia gritted her teeth as she cursed, "All of them are monsters." The hardships of life would turn the best of people into monsters, but a whole family dumping one of them just to make their life better was appalling.

Even Cynthia stayed silent to process that fact. It wasn't until Sonia had calmed down and started asking her questions again did she snap out of it.

"Why did Melody tell you everything? You barely talk to her, so why did she go into so much detail?" Sonia looked into Cynthia's eyes as she asked.

That was what gnawed away at her heart the most. This testimonial was enough to sentence her to jail. If Cynthia had recorded it and taken the evidence to the cops, Melody would have been done for. Melody must know that as well. So, why did she tell Cynthia? Why?

"I have no idea." Cynthia shook her head. "I only met her by chance, and she asked me if I had seen Tina. And then, she told me about that. Probably thought I was Tina's friend and that Tina might come to see me. Or maybe she just wanted someone to lend her an ear. Honestly, I was shocked when I saw her. I almost couldn't recognize her."
