The voices in the recording
Vere clear and had no background noise, recounting the scene inside the bar. Melanie’s
laughter echoed through the office, and her every word caught everyone’s attention.
Meanwhile, I focused on Matthew’s expression.
Melanie’s words became increasingly unbearable as the recording continued. Although I
knew the
contents of the recording, hearing it again sent shivers down my spine. I was heartbroken
as tears
streamed down my face.
“You set me up, Chloe! I’m going to kill you!” Melanie was shocked but quickly retaliated.
However, Ivanna had prepared for her reaction. She kicked Melanie and sent her flying to
the couch. Melanie’s eyes were bloodshot as she grabbed an ashtray from the table and
threw it at me.
I turned away, and the crystal ashtray crashed onto the floor, shattering into pieces.
Everyone else in the room froze, and gasped.
Matthew stared at me and gulped. He avoided my gaze, not daring to look back at me.
Suddenly, he stepped forward and reached for my phone on the table. However, I
snatched it away and stepped back while Ivanna stood before me. 1
I looked at Matthew and asked, “What? Was that too much for you? Keep listening!”
I
I yelled like a madwoman, making everyone shudder and fall to silence again. The
recording continued and even played the sounds of my struggles and cries for help. I
couldn’t bear to listen to it any longer, so I cried and asked Matthew, “What else…can you
say to defend her?””
I struggled to suppress my tears and turned to face Henry, saying, “Do you still think I was

Melanie rushed toward me, screaming, 71l kill you, bitch! How dare you set me up!
Johnson held her back. “Ms. Melanie, please calm down. All of you should relax.”
“Matt, you’ll just stand by while she does this? The man who carried her away was Atlas,

Ivanna reacted swiftly and struck his face, yelling, “What are you trying to do, scumbag?!”
Matthew froze while I broke free from his grip and glared at him. “Don’t look at me like
that. Don’t you know that she caused all this? She provoked me to make me discover your
affair. I’m grateful to Melanie for sending me photos of your affair.”
I found the photos on my phone and showed them to Henry and Grace. “Look, here’s your
son and daughter. Matthew, have a look, too. Melanie asked me if they looked good. What
do you think?”
Matthew paled as he slumped on the couch, burying his head in his hands. Meanwhile,
Johnson was speechless as he stared at everyone in disbelief.
Suddenly, Melanie freed herself from Johnson and shouted at me, “What about you and
that Atlas guy?!
Can you say you two didn’t do anything?!”
