NovelEnglishChapter 386: "Do you really think I could've called you when I was unconscious for days?" His tone was unmistakable, laced with sarcasm. "You claim you were worried, but you only calledonce." Hoyt's smile was icy, filled with contempt.
Melany stayed silent, inwardly fuming at how absurd he was being.
She had only said what she thought he wanted to hear, but this idiot actually believed she meant it.

He checks my phone constantly," Melany murmured, sniffling for effect. "I had to sneak out just to call you from the Underground. Don't forget, I'm still committed to our plan." Hoyt's eyes narrowed, suspicious. "Has Kellan shown up yet?" If Kellan wasn't at the event, their plan would fall apart entirely.
Hoyt glanced at his battered body with a dark, brooding expression. He blamed Kellan for everything, especially the accident that had left him in this pitiful state. Kellan was like a curse, always leaving disaster in his wake.
"Not yet," Melany replied, frowning. "Almost all the competitors are anonymous, wearing helmets, masks, disguises everywhere.

And even if Kellan did lose, it wouldn't matter, as he wouldn't be the one facing death.

Hesitantly, she asked, "What if someone else ends up with the prize?" "They'll just have to consider themselves unlucky," Hoyt responded coldly, his voice devoid of remorse.
The car accident had left him paralyzed, and now his father dismissed him as a useless man, while his mother ridiculed him for being a fool.

Melany remained quiet, grappling with the weight of his words. Shen couldn't afford to jeopardize her future over this.
