Chapter 997 - 1000: Bro, What’s Wrong?

Melody casually pulled over a chair and sat opposite Selina Sloan. "Someone wanted me to come have a cup of coffee, so I came."

Eager light flashed in Selina Sloan’s eyes. "Hannah, if you want to target someone, target me alone. Elias Hale has always loved me; let Miss Tang go!"

"She came here herself, nothing to do with me," Hannah sneered, personally taking a rope to tie Melody to the chair. "Melody Thorne, weren’t you being quite arrogant just now? I’ll let you watch the woman in front of you die, and then you’ll slowly die just like her. The two of you can enjoy this experience here, haha..."

The iron door closed.

"Miss Tang, you shouldn’t have trusted her!"

"If I didn’t trust her, I wouldn’t have found you," Melody spoke. "Elias Hale is my lifesaver. He’s been on the brink of death these days because of you. I can’t just sit back and do nothing, can I? Don’t worry, I warned Elias about Hannah’s ill intentions before. Now that I’ve disappeared, he’ll definitely be suspicious, and we’ll soon be out of here!"

"No, I don’t want to see him, don’t let him come to save me. I don’t want him to see what I look like now!" Panic flashed across Selina’s face.

"He doesn’t know about your disfigurement?" Melody guessed aloud. "You’ve been hiding from him all these years because your face was ruined?"

Melody stared at her profile, which looked like someone had ruthlessly slashed across it. The wound was deep, even the color was intense, somewhat terrifying, revealing how hard the attacker had struck.

"Was it Hannah?"

"Ha... haha, yes, it was her, it was indeed her," Selina painfully recalled the past. "The night Elias proposed to me, Hannah came. She claimed she was there to congratulate me, but I didn’t know it was the start of my nightmare. Just like now, she kidnapped me, slashed my face, and lit a great fire in the room to make it look like an accident. But she didn’t expect I would escape."

"So, if you don’t meet Elias Hale, Hannah is the happiest. She’s been trying every way to get rid of you, to keep you away from Elias. If you do that, she’ll be thrilled," Melody tried to persuade her.

"I can see Elias cares about you; he’s not a man who judges by appearance!"

"No... no... I’m ugly, he’ll hate me!" Selina shook her head in agony. "I’m begging you, don’t let him see me like this..."

Seeing Selina, Melody felt like she was seeing her past self, in the same situation.

"Don’t worry, I’ll help both of you!"

...Hotel.

Elias Hale received a call from Jared Quinn asking if Melody Thorne was there; she had already returned.

But Jared Quinn couldn’t find her anywhere!

"Brother, what’s wrong?" Hannah brought a cup of coffee and stood behind Elias, wearing a dress that exposed her shoulders, her long legs bare. She deliberately tugged the dress to reveal the tempting cleavage, dazzling and eye-catching.

"Nothing," Elias snubbed out the cigarette in his hand.

"Brother, I just brewed some coffee, have some," Hannah handed over the coffee.

Recalling what Melody had said, Elias took the coffee and stepped a bit away from Hannah, taking two sips.

His right hand still held the phone, displaying people he had deployed to various areas, all looking for Melody Thorne.
