Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 40

Hanson was unmoved by Melanie’s words, and he was certain that Vania would not lie to him. In fact, he was also a little taken aback by his faith in Vania. Somehow, it felt like it was meant to be this way.

Hanson drawled out slowly, “Farville, Eastland. I saw what happened with my own two eyes. What else do you have to say for yourself?”

Did he see it with his own eyes? Did Hanson travel to Eastland? She knew that he had not made any plans to take a business trip, so why had he gone there? In any case, Sonia had gone to Farville, which was a rural village area that had very little to offer, so why would Hanson have gone there? If he saw it with his own eyes, did it not mean that he was with Vania the entire time?

Melanie’s best-laid plans never accounted for the possibility of Hanson being there. Tears were streaking down her face as she said, “You were with her all along? Even though you had no idea why she was going there, you still wanted to accompany her? Hanson, have you fallen in love with Vania? You cannot fall in love with her! I am the children’s mother, and I will always be their mother! I will never let Vania take my place! Never!” Melanie screeched in agony through her tears.

“Are you aware of what you’re saying?” Hanson’s expression was chilly.

Love? What was love? He did not understand the love that Melanie was referring to, but she was right about one thing-he wanted to get to know Vania better, and he wanted to stay close to her. Could this be a sign of love?

Melanie was still crying her eyes out. “Hanson, I thought we had an agreement. For the sake of the children, we said that we will spend the rest of our lives together. Have you forgotten about this? Are you really okay with hurting Morales and Morgan like this? I’ll apologize for everything I said earlier, okay? Please don’t take the children away from me. Hanson, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry…”

However, Hanson suill remained unmoved as he declared, “I only believe what I see.”

Melanie was filled with dread. Hanson did not trust her any longer-no, he had never

Trusted her at all. Ide only trusted what he saw, but what did he see?

She continued to try and defend herself, saying, “Hanson, think about it. How would I know for sure where Vania was heading lo? There are so many variables that I had no control over, so it would be impossible for me to set up a trap for her. There must be some misunderstanding. Someone is trying to set me up. Vania might even be the

one who’s putting on a show for you. Hanson, you have to look into this properly. I don’t want you to have any misunderstandings about me.”

No matter what she said, Hanson continued to sit there in silence. There was not a single shred of emotion in his expression, and his cold indifference was beginning to get to Melanie. She faltered and did not know how to continue spinning her story.

When Melanie fell silent, Hanson sneered. “Can’t think of anything to say anymore?” As soon as he said that, he threw a voice recorder over to Melanie.

Melanie stared wide-eyed at the voice recorder, but she could not bring herself to pick it up. She had no idea what it contained. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Hanson’s sneer was full of taunting, and he threw Melanie a look. “Are you afraid of listening to it?”

Indeed, Melanie was afraid of listening to the recording inside as she did not know what it could be about.

Hanson stated indifferently, “It seems like you don’t need the recording to jolt your memory and help you recall what you’ve done. What were you planning to do if I hadn’t found out about this? Murder? You’ve got quite a lot of guts, don’t you, Melanie? There’s no point in pleading for my forgiveness. I’m taking you to Galaxy Corporation today so you can beg for Vania’s forgiveness in person. You should start reflecting on your transgressions now, and don’t even bother looking for Morales and Morgan. I’ll make all the necessary arrangements for them, so you don’t need to worry about them.”
