Melody stood frozen for a moment, stunned by Nyla's questions.
After a long pause, she finally spoke. "Does it really matter? As long as you know I did it, isn't that enough?"
"Of course it matters. When the police come, they'll ask for these details too. If your answers don't match Contelligence's, it will be clear someone else is behind this," Nyla replied.
If Contelligence had been interested in Prospectus Technology's research data from the start, they wouldn't have made it public. They'd know it would lead to a lawsuit. The fact that they released it meant they never intended to keep it. Their goal was simply to target Prospectus Technology.
More importantly, Nyla had checked the security footage after growing suspicious of Melody.
Melody had been delivering meals to her from the cafeteria every day, and the surveillance had never cut out. There had been no opportunity for her to drug Nyla's food or drink.
Melody bit her lip and took a deep breath. "Then I'll answer those questions when the police arrive."
Her evasiveness only deepened Nyla's suspicions. Still, if Melody refused to talk, there wasn't much she could do.
The police arrived shortly after and took Melody away. As she passed Nyla, she muttered, "Nyla, I'm sorry. You don't have to forgive me."
After Melody was led out, the others in the meeting room began to leave
Nyla was about to go when Damon stopped her.
"Do you really think Melody is responsible?" he asked.
Now that it was just the two of them, Nyla looked at him and shook her head. "I think someone else is behind this."
"Do you have any suspects?" Damon pressed.

The readers' comments on the novel: Trading My Ex for His Uncle (Nyla)
When will the new chapters come...
Author! Why does it always so mean? Like a new character will appear and at the end of the chapter, they're all antagonist who always intend to hurt Nyla. Is there any character who will protect her with no expectation in return of any thing?...
AUTHOR!!! NOTICE THIS PLEASE!!!! I hope that Nyla's heart can be softened with Damon alone like clear things up and make some intimate time with each other. And of course Damon talking to Rebecca will make Nyla go back to her status again. Just a short calmness and joy for Nyla and Damon....
