Tiffany closed her eyes and said slowly, “It’s simple. I want you to be a witness. You are to reveal everything when the time is right.”

If Declan Jahn were to testify. it entailed turning himself in and admitting his guilt.

He gritted his teeth. After some hesitation, he finally nodded.

Even if he turned himself in, he was only an accomplice. Moreover, he had never done anything to Alexia Harper. He had only listened to orders and taken photos. He would receive at most a jail sentence of a few years.

If he did not agree to testify, he would still be implicated when Melody Princeton’s murder was exposed.

Caught in a “Damned if I do, damned if I don’t dilemma, Declan realized it was better to go for self–preservation than to end up as a scapegoat for the Princeton siblings. “Alright, I agree

Now that the matter was settled, Tiffany gestured with her hand. “Good. You may leave.”

After Declan was taken away, June Spencer asked worriedly, “Miss Kelley, will this person betray us later?

“He won’t. He doesn’t look like he’s so dumb that he’s beyond hope.

That’s good…” June nodded.

She could not help lamenting. That girl Melody Princeton is so young yet she is so ruthless!”

She was even capable of taking the life of a classmate who had helped her so many times.

Jade Payne probably could not believe it herself at the point of her death

Tiffany looked into the distance. After a long while, she suddenly said. The weather tomorrow… won’t be good.”

June seemed to understand Tiffany’s underlying meaning. She immediately said, “Don’t worry, Miss Kelley. Everything is ready. All we have to do is wait for Melody Princeton to take the bait.”

The next day, there was a slight drizzle accompanied by the autumn wind.

Melody came to the Payne family’s breakfast cafeteria to help for the third consecutive day. As soon as she stepped into the cafeteria, she shouted enthusiastically to her godmother, “Mrs. Payne, I’m here!”

Mrs. Payne was overjoyed to see Melody. She held the girl’s hand affectionately as if the girl was her own daughter.

“Come, Melody. Try this sweet potato and lentil soup. Didn’t you say you liked it yesterday? I made it for you this morning!”

“Thank you, Mrs. Payne!” Melody took a sip and smiled sweetly. It’s delicious!”
