Chapter 603

“What?” Lorenzo’s expression darkened instantly. He swung a vicious slap across Melody’s face, snarling, “You called the cops, you bitch?”

“I didn’t.” Melody shook her head, denying it. But deep down, she felt a glimmer of hope. She was saved.

Unable to risk a confrontation with the police, Lorenzo had no choice but to order an immediate retreat. However, fearing Melody might scream and draw the officers closer, they reluctantly left her behind and fled.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed outside the villa.

A group of police officers stormed in, quickly helping Melody to her feet. One asked, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Melody replied gratefully, but her relief was cut short when something cold snapped around her wrists.

Looking down, she saw a pair of handcuffs locking her in place.

“You…” Melody barely had time to voice her confusion before being escorted to a police car.

She yelled, “What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? I’m the victim here!”

“Victim?”

A female officer scoffed, her tone icy. “Your confession last night matches the details of the murder case perfectly. You turned yourself in, admitting to the crime, and now you’re denying it? Justice always prevails. Don’t waste your time struggling.”

Melody was stunned. She had never turned herself in and confessed to anything.

Suddenly, it hit her. She recalled Lorenzo’s men saying that Wilma had gone to the police station seeking protection after escaping.

But now it seemed Wilma hadn’t just reported the situation. She had turned herself in while she was still in Melody’s body Melody’s expression shifted drastically. She pointed back at the villa and shouted, “The person who confessed yesterday
