At the same time, the results of the assistant’s investigation came in.

Liam’s knuckles turned white as he gripped the tablet. The assistant’s findings completely shattered his last shred of hope.

Mr. Blackwood, this is all the evidence of Melody Croft slandering Ms. Vance, including her adding pepper to Ms. Vance’s tea, as well as chat logs of her spreading rumors about Ms. Vance bullying her for years.” The assistant’s voice was low. “Additionally, Ms. Vance has arrived in Milan and has entered a losed off period for her advanced studies program. She will not be allowed any contact with the outside world for the next month.”

Milan…

Jam closed his eyes. He understood. This was Seraphina hiding from him, completely erasing him from her world.

Have someone bring Melody to me.” His voice was as cold as a blade in an icehouse.

Melody was lying on her sofa, dreaming a beautiful dream of replacing Seraphina and becoming Mrs. Blackwood, when bodyguards burst in and roughly yanked her up.

She screamed and struggled, “What are you doing?!”

n the living room of the Blackwood villa, Liam sat on the sofa, the low pressure around him almost freezing the air.

Melody was thrown onto the cold floor. When she saw his grim face, her legs instantly began to tremble. “Li… Liam… What is this…?”

Liam slowly curved his lips into a smile, but it held no warmth. “Melody, don’t you know perfectly well?”

He raised his hand, and his assistant immediately tossed a stack of documents and a recording pen in front of her.

Take a look,” Liam’s voice was like quenched ice, “at the fine mess you’ve made.”

Melody tremblingly picked up the documents. When she saw the chat logs, audio transcriptions, and security footage screenshots, her face turned as white as a heet. She frantically waved her hands. “No! Liam, it was Seraphina who framed me! This is all fake!”

Fake?” Liam sneered and pressed the play button on the recording pen.

Melody’s triumphant voice emerged from it, “That Seraphina is such an idiot. I put a little pepper in her tea. Isn’t she allergic to it? Serves her right for always cting so high and mighty. And that time on the stairs, if I didn’t fall, how could I make Liam completely despise her. She loves sponsoring people, right? I’ll just uin her reputation and let her have a taste of what it’s like to be judged.”

hese were words she had said to her friend on the phone, and every single one now struck Melody’s heart like a heavy hammer.

he collapsed to the floor, screaming, “No! That’s not me! Seraphina forged it! You have to believe me!”

iam slowly stood up and walked towards her. He looked down at her, his eyes filled with unconcealed disgust and ruthlessness. “Melody, do you take me for a Dol?”

le crouched down, grabbed her chin, and forced her to look up at him. “You only finished school because of Sera’s sponsorship. She treated you well. But what id you do? You stabbed her in the back, slandered her, put things she’s allergic to in her food, and even harmed yourself to frame her.”

s he spoke, Liam’s voice grew heavier. “When I had the bodyguards break her hand and lock her in the basement for three days, you were pretty damn pleased with yourself, weren’t you!”

Melody was scared out of her wits by his presence, tears bursting from her eyes. “I was wrong! Please spare me this one time! I’ll never do it again!”

Spare you?” Liam violently flung her chin away, the force so strong it made her stumble and fall. “The injustice Sera suffered, the pain she endured–who is oing to spare her?”
