Melody's tears flowed ceaselessly, causing a slight stinging sensation on her swollen cheeks. Lucas reached for a tissue and gently wiped away the tears from her face. "That's why I asked you not to run off on your own. You wouldn't have gotten yourself in danger if you had listened to my arrangement!" said Lucas.
Melody, with tears in her eyes, met his gaze. She could not see his expression clearly, but she could sense that despite his harsh tone, he was deeply concerned for her. "I... I just didn't want to trouble you." Melody's hand still clung to his clothes, unwilling to let go.
"How could you think it's trouble for me? You... Never mind. Now that you know how dangerous it is, I hope you can learn from this experience," said Lucas with a sigh. Melody nodded obediently.
Lucas comforted her softly, "There, there. Everything's okay now. Fortunately, you managed to use the supplementary card I gave you, which alerted me that something was wrong.
"You've never used my card before, so I found it strange when you suddenly withdrew one million dollars today. I immediately tried calling you, but your phone was switched off. That was when I instantly realized something was wrong."
Melody pouted. "I lied to them, claiming I had a lot of money. Then I made a deal with them, asking them not to harm me and bring me the person who plotted against me. But..." Melody bit her lower lip out of anger. "I never thought that Wendy, my own sister, was behind this!"
She grew more agitated. Without Wendy, none of this would have happened. She would not have had to spend the day in fear.
"Wendy?" Lucas frowned deeply. He had been solely focused on Melody, not paying attention to others. He never imagined that Melody's own sister orchestrated all of this.
What kind of grudge could possibly lead Wendy to harm her own sister in such a way?
"I don't have much sisterly affection for her, but I never thought of harming her. I truly don't know what I've done to make her hate me this much!"
Melody looked helpless with her head lowered.
Lucas realized that Melody had not only experienced a frightful situation but that the true culprit, Wendy, had caused significant psychological harm to her.
At least if it were only the three thugs scheming, she could blame their actions on greed. However, Wendy repeatedly claimed to hate her, accusing Melody of taking everything away from her. This made Melody doubt herself. Could she have done something wrong after all?
Lucas gently lifted Melody's chin, making her look at him.
"You've already severed ties with the Sander family, so she's no longer your sister. You don't have to care about someone like her. She should bear the legal consequences of whatever she did to you today. You need to stay strong,
Melody, and make sure to pursue it to the end."
Lucas pulled Melody back into his embrace, adjusting her to a comfortable position to prevent her from moving.
"Hush now. We don't have to think about these for now. You should get some sleep first."

Meanwhile, Wendy was forced to go back to the police station with the police officers.
"Miss Wendy, please think before answering the questions we're about to ask you. Your statements will be recorded and may become evidence in court."
Wendy nodded dazedly. Her gaze wandered aimlessly.
