As Melody spoke, she kept her eyes locked on Gabriel’s His eyes widened slightly, turning her suspicion into certainty
“Why are you doing this to Nyla? Isn’t she like a sister to you?” she demanded.
Initially shocked, Gabriel quickly regained his usual gentle demeanor. “Melody, what are you talking about? I don’t understand”
“No one understands better than you. Did you put sleeping pills in the coffee you’ve been sending us?” Melody pressed.
Her tone was firm, and her eyes burned with anger as she stared at Gabriel.
He had been so considerate, claiming that working in the lab every day was exhausting, so he would send coffee to help them stay awake. He had even asked her not to tell Nyla.
Blinded by love, she had believed he genuinely wanted to build a good relationship with Nyla. Looking back now, she felt foolish!
She had handed Nyla the very coffee that led to the data leak scandal. The more she thought about it, the more distressed she became, and her eyes welled up with tears. She felt like an accomplice.
Gabriel’s expression remained calm and gentle, though a trace of helplessness flickered in his eyes.
“Melody, I don’t understand what you’re saying. I know you want to help Nyla, and I do too, but you can’t just assume it was me because you’re anxious,” he said.
“Who else could it be? Gabriel, what exactly are you planning to do?” Melody demanded.
As she looked at his handsome face, she felt disgusted for the first time. How could she have fallen for
someone so dreadful?
Gabriel moved closer to her, speaking softly so only they could hear, “I know you’re recording our conversation, Melody, so don’t think you’ll get anything out of me.”
Melody’s eyes widened in shock. It was him after all!
“W–Why are you doing this?!” she exclaimed.

The sharp sound of the slap reverberated through the cafe, instantly drawing the attention of everyone present.
A server hurried over. “Sir, are you okay?”
Gabriel’s face bore a red handprint, and his cheek was slightly swollen. He forced a smile at the server and shook his head. “It’s fine. You can go back to work
Melody’s eyes were red, barely containing her fury. She wanted to rip away his false gentle facade and reveal his true nature to everyone. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
The server looked at Melody. “Miss, it’s better to talk things out rather than resort to violence.”

Ignoring him, Melody glared coldly at Gabriel. “I won’t let this go!”
With that, she grabbed her bag and stormed out.
“Sir…” the server began.
“It’s fine. Thank you for your help,” Gabriel replied.
Gabriel left the cafe and watched Melody’s departing figure.
A slow, satisfied smile crept across his face as he murmured, “Why? To break her wings, make her lose everything, so she’ll have no choice but to rely on me. Only then will she stay by my side.”
From a young age, he had known that love was about possession and control. If the person he loved did not return his feelings, he would break her wings and crush her pride, ensuring she was left with no choice but to remain with him.
