do the thought about how he had coerced her into borrowing 30,000 dollars from Nyla and wondered what other schemes he might have, Melody felt a wave of despair.

Was there truly no way to expose his true nature?

Gabriel looked down at her, showing no sympathy for the tear stains on her face. Instead, he found her team annoying

He pinched her chin and said coldly, “Tomorrow morning, go to Prospectus Technology and report her The 30.000 dollars she transferred to you tonight is your hush money.”

Melody’s eyes widened in shock, and she shook her head. “No! I won’t help you frame Nyla!

She finally understood the real purpose behind Gabriel’s demand for the 30,000 dollars from Nyla. Trembling, she realized how dangerous this man was–he truly intended to ruin Nyla!

“You’re already helping me by calling her, aren’t you? Even if you don’t cooperate, she won’t forgive you once she learns the truth.” Gabriel taunted.

“I don’t want to help you either!” Melody cried.

“Fine. Just wait for news of your mother’s death,” Gabriel said, turning on his heel.

As she watched his cold back, Melody was overwhelmed with fear. She believed Gabriel was capable of carrying out his threats because he was completely unhinged

After she sat down, Spencer said, “Nyla, Melody claims she saw you sending emails to Contelligence. She says you gave her 30,000 dollars as hush money. Do you have any explanation for this?”

Nyla looked at Melody in disbelief.

“Didn’t you say the 30,000 dollars was for your father’s surgery and that you borrowed it from me?” she asked

Melody lowered her gaze, unable to meet Nyla’s eyes. Her voice was barely audible. “That was supposed to be hush money… Nyla, I’m really sorry, but I can’t ignore my conscience… Sharing the company’s experimental data is illegal…

Nyla felt a whirlwind of emotions she couldn’t quite grasp.

After transferring the money to Melody without hesitation the night before, she hadn’t expected it to be used as a bribe against her.

“Why are you doing this to me? Have I wronged you in any way?” Nyla asked, her eyes filled with disappointment as she looked at Melody.

Melody bit her lip, mustering the courage to face Nyla. “Nyla, you’ve been very kind to me, but I can’t ignore the fact that you’ve caused the company to lose hundreds of millions. I can’t protect you just because we’re friends.”
