Elara Bennett clapped her hands, her gaze fixed on Melanie Royce.
"It's always a pleasure working with smart people."
With that, she closed the distance between them, stepping right into Melanie's personal space.
"I already laid my cards on the table last time. Stellaris PharmaTech is responsible for your mother's death, and Preston Whitmore played you for a fool... You said you needed time to cool off. Have you thought it through?"
Standing toe-to-toe, their eyes met. Elara could clearly see the hesitation flickering in Melanie's gaze.
Just as Melanie could see the absolute ruthlessness burning in Elara's.
"Ms. Royce, or rather, Melanie... what's holding you back? Don't you want to avenge your mother?"
Elara took another aggressive step forward, backing her into a corner.
Melanie instinctively retreated.
"But I'm still not entirely sure..."
"Cold cases are never neatly wrapped in a bow."
Compared to Melanie's wavering, Elara's attitude was ironclad, her tone sharp and unyielding.
"The fact that Preston kept his true identity a secret from you proves it... he's guilty as sin."
Suddenly, Elara seized Melanie's wrist, making her jump in shock.
"Don't tell me you're still delusional enough to think he actually loves you?"
"..."
"You really are naive... To Preston, you were nothing but a convenient pawn."
"..."
"If you refuse to team up with me and make Stellaris pay, your mother will never rest in peace."
