Chapter 1267


    If she had bumped into someone else just now, they might not let her go due to how bad her


    attitude was.


    What about this woman who managed to defeat Tina and Melody?


    Cynthia''s heart was beating so fast that it threatened to jump out of her throat as she panicked.


    "Miss Reed—"


    She was about to beg for mercy again when Sonia raised her hand to interrupt her. "Enough. All you


    did was verbally abuse me back then. Besides the shlight incident, you didn''t cause me any


    harm, and I already got my revenge for that incident, so you''re spared this time. Anyway, you have


    nothing against me now. Beating a drowning dog isn''t something I would do unless they are a


    hopeless cause. I won''t bother to waste time on someone like you."


    Although she was unhappy that Sonia made her sound worthless, Cynthia felt relieved that she did


    not intend to pursue her on this matter.


    "Miss Reed, are you letting me go?" Cynthia clenched her fists and asked excitedly.


    Sonia raised her chin and questioned, "Did you not hear what I just said? I am not someone who


    would beat a drowning dog unless they are a hopeless cause. I won''t even spare a nce at


    someone like you. Are you self-proiming that you''re a hopeless cause?"


    Cynthia shook her head like a rattle before uttering, "You are well aware of what I did not do to you


    when I was friends with Tina, except for that one incident. I would usually just verbally abuse you,


    but after Tina left, I never appeared in front of you again or got in your way. I''m not a self-proimed


    hopeless… cause…"


    She forced thest two words out of her lips even though she felt ashamed.


    With an arched brow, Sonia questioned, "Why are you still standing here, then? Do you want me to


    —"


    "No!" Cynthia shook her head fervently before forcing an awkward grin. "I will leave right now." With


    that, she turned around immediately to leave.


    However, the moment she turned around, something popped into her head, and she turned back to


    Sonia.


    Seeing that, Sonia narrowed her pretty eyes. "What? Want me to punish you?"


    "No, no, no." Cynthia waved her hands in denial.


    "Then what?" Sonia frowned.


    Cynthia''s gaze darted around the room before she bit her lower lip and asked in a subdued voice,


    "Erm… Do you still hate Tina?"


    Sonia squinted her eyes skeptically and questioned, "Huh? Why do you ask that?"


    Cynthia squeezed her fists and rephrased her question, "I mean, even though she is dead now, you


    should not have forgotten what she did to you, right? So, do you still hate her? Or do you still want


    to take revenge on her?"


    Sonia couldn''tprehend why she was asking questions like this. Her eyes flickered as she


    replied softly, "Why would I still hate on a dead person? Do you think I could resurrect her to get my


    revenge even if I wanted to?"


    Hearing Sonia''s answer, Cynthia finally released the breath she had been holding. After taking a


    deep breath as if to muster up her courage, she looked Sonia in the eye and said, "If you still hate


    her and want to take revenge on her, I will tell you a secret."


    Then, she stepped forward.


    Sonia''s heart sank as she made a guess in her mind, but on the surface, she pretended like she


    was calm. "What secret?"


    Cynthia stopped in front of her, covered half of her face, and whispered, "I suspect that Tina is not


    dead. That corpse is fake."


    Sonia''s pupils dted. I was right, she mused.


    When Cynthia suddenly asked her those questions and said that she would tell her a secret, her


    first thought was that Cynthia would tell her Tina wasn''t dead.


    Her suspicion was proven to be correct the next second.


    However, Sonia wasn''t surprised by the secret at all since she had already known from the get-go


    that Tina was not dead. She was more surprised that others knew about it. How many people knew


    about it? And how did Cynthia find out?


    Judging from Cynthia''s firm appearance, she seemed to be quite certain that Tina was alive, which


    was strange.


    Sonia intended to throw some bait at her, so she didn''t let Cynthia know she was aware that Tina


    was still alive.

    Otherwise, she might not borate on the information she had.


    Thinking of this, Sonia was shocked. Although she wasn''t excellent at acting, she could at least fool


    Cynthia.


    After all, Cynthia was not someone who could tell whether Sonia was acting or not.


    She thought Sonia truly found the information shocking, so seeing Sonia''s surprised face made her


    feel proud. As a result, she wore a smug expression on her face.


    Hah. How could President Fuller''s fiancée not be aware of that? Cynthia mused triumphantly in her


    mind.


    Perhaps she had been too transparent with her emotions that they were painted across her face.


    Sonia couldn''t help rolling her eyes at her, but as expected, Cynthia did not notice her subtle


    expression. Smiling at Sonia, she asked, "What do you think? This secret is shocking, isn''t it?"


    Sonia nodded. "It is shocking, but it must be fake. Tina''s suicide by jumping off a building is known


    all over the country, and that night, I went to see her body in person. How could it not be her?"


    "It''s not her." Cynthia waved her hands in denial. "When you went to see her body, her face was


    covered, wasn''t it?"


    "Yeah." Sonia nodded in agreement.


    "That''s it." Cynthia pped her hands together and exined, "Although I did not witness the scene


    with my eyes, I heard about the details of when Tina jumped from the building. They are saying that


    when she jumped from the building, she was facing backward. In that case, she should''vended


    on her back after falling. How could she possibly fall face-down and ruin her face?"


    Sonia stroked her chin and agreed to her words, "That sounds usible."


    "There''s more to it," Cynthia added. "They quickly closed the case of Tina''s suicide. Even if it had


    been a genuine suicide, they would have looked into it further. Doesn''t it all seem too hasty? It''s so


    obvious that there is a problem with this that they don''t want people to know. That''s why they closed


    the case as soon as possible and sealed the file to cut off the clues to prevent anyone from


    investigating it."


    Sonia looked at her in surprise, as if to say, I didn''t expect you to be so smart.


    Of course, that went unnoticed by Cynthia. Instead, she continued, "I heard that her suicide has


    something to do with Melody. Melody went to meet Tina, and thettermitted suicide, implying


    that Melody was also involved in Tina''s suicide case. And Melody was also the one who found a


    female corpse to rece Tina''s body."


    Sonia''s eyes sparkled. "How did you know about this?"


    Cynthia was right about everything. Tina was alive, but she had feigned her death to escape. It was


    also true that Melody assisted in her n.


    After they discovered that Tina had escaped instead of lying dead, they immediately traced Melody


    down.


    Melody exined everything truthfully, but she didn''t know where Tina went. It then became Sonia''s


    biggest regret.


    "Melody told me," answered Cynthia.


    Question marks popped into Sonia''s mind. "Melody told you that?"


    "Yeah."


    "Isn''t she in jail?" Sonia frowned. "How did she tell you?"


    Although the authorities decided not to make Melody''s offense public because of the Stryder


    Family''s past contributions to the country, everyone knew about her imprisonment. She was still in


    jail right now!
