Brinleigh let out a deep sigh.
âGiven the Simmons familyâs power, they could have easily hidden it from everyone and there would be no way to find out.
Perhaps they did it to protect her.
â
Brinleigh solved everything in a few minutes.
Melody stood rigid as she was rendered speechless by the shocking revelation.
Taking a quick glance around the room, he said, âIf you still want to marry Cyrus, you canât attempt to harm Lucinda again.
Just stay home and try to come up with ways to apologize to her.
â
With a pat on his sisterâs shoulder, Brinleigh exited her bedroom.
Six years ago, when Lucinda went missing and later the Simmons family declared her dead, Brinleighâs heart was shattered.
Despite his parentsâ attempts to set him up with numerous high-class women, he couldnât take her off his mind.
Now that he knew she was alive and in Forden, he wished he could rush to see her immediately.
After Brinleigh left, Melody remained in a state of shock for a while before eventually getting herself back.
Everything that had been unclear before was now laid bare before her.
That explained why Lucinda could have lunch with Cyrus in his office, why he treated her so well, and even why she was made the chief artist manager of Angle Intl.
And here Melody was, almost taking the life of her future sister-in-law!
Melody snapped out of her daze, relieved that she didnât successfully eliminate Lucinda.
That was the only thing that gave her hope that she could be with Cyrus again.
She slumped to the ground, consumed by fear and guilt and trying to figure out how to make things right.
After some contemplation, Melody grabbed her phone and pressed in Cyrusâs number.

The phone beeped, and she waited for what seemed like an eternity.
âWhat do you want?â Cyrusâ voice came through, irritated.
âIf you have nothing meaningful to say, Iâd end the call.
â He was impatient.
âWait! Donât end the call! I have something important to tell you!â
Melody pleaded, clutching the phone tightly and scared that he would end the call at any time.
âIf you want me to tell your father to let you out, donât bother.
Iâm still contemplating calling off our engagement.
â
âNo, I want to speak to Lucinda.
I donât have her phone number.
Can you give her the phone so I can speak to her?â Melodyâs voice was barely above a whisper.
