Zara Walsh glanced up at Joelle Lawson. She took a sip of her red wine before replying, "As long as everything you told me is true, she won’t run."
Joelle Lawson nodded hurriedly. "It’s all true, Zara. Melody and Nina Summers have a terrible relationship!"
"During the volcanic eruption last year, Nina Summers tricked Melody Summers into going to The Crestview Hotel. To save her own skin, she lured Melody there to become a prostitute. Melody must hate her guts for it!"
"Nina also told me herself that her father used to love her very much, but ever since her mother died, he remarried, had a son, and stopped loving her as much."
Joelle Lawson still remembered Nina’s expression. When she talked about her father remarrying and having a son, the hurt and sorrow were written all over her face. It was obvious she was genuinely heartbroken.
Joelle Lawson had also been abandoned by her father. She knew what that felt like and could understand Nina’s longing for a father’s love.
After seeing Nina Summers arrive at The Summers Villa yesterday, Joelle Lawson told Zara Walsh everything. Upon hearing it, Zara immediately had someone investigate Caleb Summers, and then she devised today’s plan.
Zara Walsh swirled the red wine in her glass and said gravely, "Then there won’t be a problem. She wouldn’t dare betray me, not for the sake of her father’s future..."
Coupled with the bad blood between Nina and Melody Summers, Zara wasn’t the least bit worried that Nina would back out.
At this thought, Zara Walsh looked up at Joelle Lawson and said gravely, "Rest assured, when this is done, you won’t be shorted a single cent of your reward."
Hearing this, Joelle Lawson rubbed her hands together and replied in a fawning tone, "You’re too kind, Zara. I’m already so grateful that you took me in..."
Zara Walsh let out a cold laugh at her words and said no more.
Zara Walsh and Joelle Lawson had met in prison. Zara had been incarcerated for withholding supplies from The Metropolis Residences and happened to be in the same prison as Joelle. They were inmates together for a while.
A few days ago, Zara’s family had paid a hefty sum to bail her out. Coincidentally, Joelle Lawson was also approved for bail because Noelle Quillan had earned credit for assisting the police.
Right in front of the prison gates, Zara overheard Joelle Lawson and Noelle Quillan talking and faintly caught the name "Melody Summers."
Zara was already triggered by the very name "Melody Summers." She stormed over to Joelle Lawson and Noelle Quillan and demanded to know their connection to Melody. After a brief conversation, Zara learned the full extent of their feud with the Summers family.
To plot her revenge against Melody Summers, Zara lied to Noelle Quillan, saying she could arrange a job for Joelle Lawson as a housekeeper.
Noelle Quillan was already worried about making ends meet, so when she heard Zara’s offer, she agreed on the spot and let Zara take Joelle home with her.
Just two days after bringing Joelle Lawson back to her villa, before she had even figured out how to use this pawn to get revenge on Melody Summers, Zara saw Nina Summers waiting at the gate of the Summers Villa.
Leveraging Joelle Lawson’s knowledge of Nina and Melody Summers, Zara devised the plan to frame Melody for theft.
As for Joelle Lawson, she already hated Melody Summers for reporting The Crestview Hotel. It had cost her the chance to live the high life there, leaving her to freeze and starve in prison instead.
On top of that, she had always hated Melody Summers. ’We’re both Adam Lawson’s "daughters,"’ she thought, ’so why does Melody get to live well in a villa while I get thrown in jail?’
The hatred in Joelle Lawson’s heart burned just as fiercely as Zara’s!
Zara wanted revenge on Melody Summers, and Joelle was more than happy to see it happen!
With a common enemy, the two of them hit it off instantly.
