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.

If Contelligence had been interested in Prospectus Technology's research data from the start, they wouldn't have made it public. They'd know it would lead to a lawsuit. The fact that they released it meant they never intended to keep it. Their goal was simply to target Prospectus Technology.

More importantly, Nyla had checked the security footage after growing suspicious of Melody.

Melody had been delivering meals to her from the cafeteria every day, and the surveillance had never cut out. There had been no opportunity for her to drug Nyla's food or drink.

Melody bit her lip and took a deep breath. "Then I'll answer those questions when the police arrive."

Her evasiveness only deepened Nyla's suspicions. Still, if Melody refused to talk, there wasn't much she could do.

The police arrived shortly after and took Melody away. As she passed Nyla, she muttered, "Nyla, I'm sorry. You don't have to forgive me."
