Chapter 6

"How could you treat Melody like this after she kindly lent you her dress?!"

"In that case, Seraphina, you can stay right here and take Melody's punishment!"

With that, Dad ordered someone to lock the door of the private room.

My whole body trembled. Wasn't their torment of me enough already?!

"No! Please! Let me out!"

I pounded on the door desperately, my nails scratching until they bled, my voice going hoarse, but they just kept walking further away.

Behind me, the "coaches" removed their masks, grinning sinisterly.

Upstairs in the private room, the whole family anxiously called for a private doctor to examine Melody, until they confirmed she was alright.

Dad said to my brother, "Go open the door. I've already called the police. Seraphina and these people won't get away!"

Just as my brother reached the door, he ran into the panicked restaurant manager.

"Chairman, it's terrible! Miss Seraphina, she... she jumped into the river!"
