Chapter 1080

Hailey’s voice snapped Rebecca out of her shock.
This was real. Hailey was alive. She hadn’t died.
But Rebecca still couldn’t make sense of it. She lurched forward, shaking. “Hailey, how is this possible? You were dead. I saw it with my own eyes. You and your baby were gone. How could you be standing here?”
Olivia stepped up beside Hailey with a cold smirk. “Rebecca, Hailey never died. If we hadn’t pulled this stunt, we never would’ve exposed who you really are.”
Jonah said, “Rebecca, we have all the evidence. You hired those three thugs to hurt Olivia. You tried to frame me at the club. And you poisoned Hailey’s chicken noodle soup. With all these charges combined, you’ll be rotting in jail!”
Olivia added, “Rebecca, you’ve done so many awful things. Prison is exactly where you belong.”
Rebecca stumbled back. “I get it now. All of this was your setup, wasn’t it?”
Hailey spoke up. “Finally catching up? Rebecca, you looked ridiculous a minute ago.”
Rebecca glared at the three of them. “Hailey, Olivia, Jonah, you’ve been working together this whole time?”
Olivia nodded. “That’s right. There were cameras in the living room. They caught you poisoning the soup. We just played along. I sent the soup to the hospital, had them issue a fake death certificate, then went back to you to make you confess to everything.”
All the color drained from Rebecca’s face. She had never imagined Olivia had teamed up with Jonah and Hailey from the beginning.
Rebecca asked, “Olivia, when did you find out I hired those thugs?”
Hailey answered for Olivia. “Come on. There’s no such thing as coincidences like that. I had Jonah investigate you. He found those thugs and made them tell the truth in front of Olivia. Rebecca… Oh, wait. I shouldn’t be calling you that. I should be calling you Melody. Long time no see, Melody.”
The name hit her like ice water. Rebecca’s whole body went cold. “Hailey, you knew who I was all along?”
Hailey replied, “Lies always crack eventually. Melody, I never thought you’d crawl back with a new identity just to get revenge.”
Rebecca knew this was the end. Everything was over.
Her hatred toward Hailey boiled
over. “Hailey, why did I lose? Why do you get to win? Why does everyone
.n
like you? Ewan likes you, and sq does donah Why? I can’t stand it. I Want to take everything from you just want you dead!”
Hailey looked at the crazed Melody and sneered. “Melody, you and Ewan are the same. You both had a future. most people only dream of, but grèèd and spite ruined you.
Jonah stared at her with nothing but disgust. “Melody, you really make me sick!”
Olivia said Melody, you’re nothing
but a nightmare to me. I can’t
believe someone as viciousne
ou
exists in this world. I wish Thad never met you.”
Right then, a wave of reporters rushed in. Microphones shot forward, and the
reporters started asking questions.
“Melody, so you were behind everything?”
“So you’re the Alvarez family’s heiress? How did you end up like this?”
“You don’t even look human anymore. What did you do to yourself?”
“You had everything! You were born into a wealthy family and even took Ewan away. So why would you do such cruel things?”
“Arrest her! Take her away already!”
Melody was completely surrounded. The reporters pressed in on her so tightly she could barely breathe.
Feeling scared, she started crying. “Get away from me! Stop filming! Stop!”
Just then, a squad of officers rushed in, pushing the crowd back. “Melody Alvarez, you’re under arrest. You need to come with us.”
When the cold cuffs snapped around her wrists, her whole body trembled.
Now, she was genuinely terrified. “No! Don’t arrest me! I don’t want to go to prison! Let me go!”
Tears rolled down her face.
