Her Seven Little Bodyguards

Chapter 39

Melanie had already made all the necessary arrangements here in Hammond. Once the chip was safe in her hands, she would be able to destroy Vania.

Still, a niggling thought crept into her heart. Where did Hanson get this information? Why has it been traced back to me all of a sudden?

There were a million questions running through her mind, but when she spoke, she focused on besmirching Vania. She wanted Hanson to start doubting Vania’s credibility in hopes that she could remove herself from all this.

Hanson did have some doubts about Vania, but deep down inside him, he believed that Vania would not go against him. Perhaps he wanted to trust that she would not stand against him.

When Melanie noticed Hanson’s tightly-knitted brows, she assumed that she had successfully sown seeds of doubt in his mind, so she doubled down. “Hanson, I’ve heard a lot about Vania having a sordid personal life. Maybe she ruffled some feathers she shouldn’t have, and now they’re out for revenge. Anyway, wasn’t she doing fine in Hammond? Why did she run off to such a rural place? There must be some secret that she’s trying to hide. Don’t be fooled by her appearance, for she has fooled a lot of people with that innocent look of hers. Hanson, I love you with my whole heart. You have to believe me.”

Hanson felt nothing but repulsion for Melanie, who was still spinning her web of lies. He was sorely disappointed by the fact that she refused to own up to her schemes even when the evidence was right there in her hands.

Back when Luke Corporation’s firewalls had been breached, Hanson had checked into Vania’s history. She had done so little in the past that it could not even fill a single page, so what was this talk about a sordid personal life?Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

His lone was icy as he said, “I’m done listening to all your lies. I told you to think carefully before you say anything, but you chose not to. From now on, you’re not allowed to have any contact with the children. Take the time to think about what you’ve done.”

How could the mother of his children be such a vicious woman?

He had forgiven her once before, but she still refused to change. If he continued to put up with her, it was going to blow up in his face one day.

Immediately, Melanie became frantic. Her children were her trump card, but what would become of her if she could not see them? She rushed over toward Hanson, but before she could get near him, he sent a flying kick that threw her flat on the ground.

“Ahh! It hurts!” Melanie began to tear up in pain.

She clutched her waist and cried out painfully, “Hanson, why are you so sure that I did those things? What’s so great about Vania? You’ve only met her several times, but you already have so much trust in her that you’re willing to take her side every time. I’ve been with you for five years, and I’ve given birth to two of your children. I’ve dedicated every second of my life to you and never once betrayed you, but why do you not see everything that I’ve done for you? How do I not measure up to Vania?”

Melanie voiced these heartwrenching words that came straight from her heart. She really wanted to know why Hanson refused to accept her into his heart despite everything she had done for his sake.

Her eyes were fixed on Hanson, and it was the first time that she had ever looked him in the eye like that. When she caught his gaze, her heart skipped a beat. She was so in love with him that she yearned for him constantly, and she fervently wished to spend her entire life with him.

Yet, the man that she loved so dearly stared right back at her and crushed her heart with his words. “Vania is better than you in every single way.”

Melanie sank to her feet and shook her head in despair. She could not believe that Hanson would say such a thing to her.

Heartbroken, she questioned Hanson and asked, “Do you really trust Vania that much? Aren’t you afraid that she mighi be lying to you?”
