Trading My Ex for His Uncle by Hello Spring

Melody stood frozen for a moment, stunned by Nyla's questions.

After a long pause, she finally spoke. "Does it really matter? As long as you know I did it, isn't that enough?"

"Of course it matters. When the police come, they'll ask for these details too. If your answers don't match Contelligence's, it will be clear someone else is behind this," Nyla replied.
