Chapter 603

“What is this?” Nana asked, puzzled.

Talia, who was next to her, clearly misunderstood Melody’s intent and nervously explained, “Miss Fox, did you misunderstand us? We didn’t flee the scene. We went to First Hospital to bring Oliver over before leaving. We…” Melody quickly interrupted Talia, clarifying, “You misunderstood me. I know you went to get Oliver, not that you fled. If you hadn’t brought Oliver over in time, Charlotte and Elton might have had a bigger fallout and continued causing trouble here. So, the contents of this package are a gift from me to you as a token of thanks.”

“Of course, I’m not sure if you’ll need or like what’s inside. Open it and see. I need to head out for a while, so I’ll leave you to it,” Melody said before turning and leaving, leaving Talia and Nana alone in the room.

After Melody left, Talia and Nana grew more curious about what was in the envelope.

“Nana, why don’t you open it?” Talia had a strange feeling, sensing that whatever was inside the envelope might leave her with mixed emotions.

“Okay,” Nana said, not thinking much of it. She assumed it might be a bonus or something, and that Melody had hurried off to avoid them rejecting it.

She opened the envelope casually, but because she was a bit rough, it tore open, spilling a few photos and a USB drive onto the table.

“Why are there photos?” Nana wondered as she picked up the pictures, confused.

In the next moment, her eyes widened in shock.

The photos depicted an intimate scene between a man and a woman.

The woman in the photos was the mistress her father was involved with, but the man was clearly not her father.

Realizing that the mistress was involved with someone else, Nana’s eyes sparkled with realization.

“Mom, look at this!” She eagerly handed the photos to Talia, her face beaming with excitement. “The mistress is also being unfaithful. Dad’s been cheated on!”

Talia was momentarily surprised but soon composed herself. “Let’s see what’s on the USB drive.”

Prompted by Talia’s suggestion, Nana quickly connected the USB drive to her tablet.

The tablet had originally been a gift from Melody to make her work easier, but Nana never expected it would be used for this purpose.

In less than a minute, Nana had finished viewing the contents of the USB drive.

It contained a video and some hotel booking records.

The video clearly showed the mistress and her lover engaging in a rendezvous in a parking lot. The footage was clear enough that their faces and bodies were fully visible.

But the most crucial piece of evidence was a paternity test. It clearly stated that the child the mistress had was not her father’s.

Nana was thrilled with this discovery. Her excitement grew as she grabbed Talia’s hand and said, “Mom, let’s go find Dad and expose that bitch right now!”

However, Talia remained silent, her gaze shifting from the tablet to the gray, oppressive sky outside the window.

Seeing Talia’s reaction, Nana couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, what’s wrong? Why aren’t you happy about this?”

Talia forced a bitter smile and said, “Why should I be happy? Even if these things cause a rift between them, it doesn’t lessen the damage he’s done to us.”

Nana paused, her excitement fading.

“Even if he finds out that his current partner is unfaithful and calls us back, it doesn’t change the fact that he betrayed you and abandoned us. To him, we’re no different from that woman, just expendable. The only thing he cares about is himself,” she added.

As Talia finished speaking, both she and Nana fell into silence.

It was at this moment that Nana fully understood Melody’s words. “I’m not sure if you need this, or if you’ll like it.”

She was no longer sure if they needed these things.

Even if they showed the photos and video to her father, making the man who abandoned them feel discomfort, it wouldn’t erase the pain and the feeling of being forsaken by the world.

So, the significance of these things seemed rather minimal. After a long silence, Talia suddenly grasped Nana’s hand and asked, “Nana, I need you to answer me truthfully.” Nana nodded, “Sure, go ahead.”

“Do you want to go back?” Talia asked.

“Hmm?” Nana was puzzled.

“If you really want to go back, I’ll use these documents to confront him. Your father won’t tolerate anyone making a fool of him. He’ll definitely kick that woman and her child out. You’re his only blood relative now, and with the misunderstanding with Miss Fox cleared up, he won’t use her as an excuse to keep you away,” she added.

Nana sensed something was off and furrowed her brow. You keep talking about me, but what about you?”

Talia forced a bitter smile and said, “You might not believe it, but I’ve felt happier here in Herbathrive than I ever did at home. I no longer have to revolve around him or deal with those pretentious high-society wives. I feel more relaxed here and like I’m living for myself.”

“So, you don’t want to go back?” Nana asked.

“Yes.” Talia nodded, looking at Nana. “But I won’t stop you from going back. If you return, you’ll be the young lady of the Jensen family again, and you’ll quickly resume your luxurious life.”

“I…” Nana bit her lip and thought for a moment before replying, “Mom, let me think about it.”

“Sure, take your time. Once you’ve decided, we can figure out what to do next,” she nodded.

Meanwhile, as soon as Melody left Talia and Nana’s room, Seventeen approached and reported quietly. “Miss Fox, as you instructed, I’ve broken Elton’s legs. He won’t be able to move freely for the next six months.”

Melody, her expression unreadable, nodded slightly and asked, “He didn’t see you, did he?”

“Don’t worry. No one will trace it back to you or me,” he said.

“Good.” Melody nodded again. “Prepare the car. We’re going to First Hospital now.”

It was time to expose the woman who had been impersonating her. Melody wondered what Oliver’s reaction would be when he found out she was the real Wilona.

Once in the car, Melody called Rodney. When Rodney learned she was going to reveal the fake Wilona’s identity, he nearly shouted with excitement. “I’m not on duty today. I’ll head to First Hospital right away to meet you.”

“Okay, see you at First Hospital,” she said.

After ending the call, Melody noticed an unread text message from Mason. She opened it and smiled.

The last herb needed for her appearance restoration, Green Velvet, would be auctioned off in a month.

This herb was crucial, and she was determined to obtain it.
