NovelEnglishChapter 330: My face... Melany stared in disbelief, her mind struggling to comprehend the reality of what had just happened.
As the realization sank in, tears welled up in her eyes, filled with shock and betrayal.
Allison, youve crossed the line! Melanys heart nearly stopped as the knife rushed toward her.
She had thought she was going to die in that instant.
Now, as the adrenaline ebbed away, she looked at Allison, whose face remained expressionless.
As the shock wore off, Melany realized that Allison had deliberately threatened and intimidated her.
She continued to shake, struggling to suppress the growing dread inside her.
You... arent you scared of... Before she could finish, Allison stepped forward, cutting her words short with an unnerving calmness.
What are you trying to do? Hey! Melany gasped, instinctively retreating, only to hit the solid wall behind her.
Her eyes flicked to the knife still lodged in the wall beside her.
She was trapped, cornered like prey in the jaws of a predator.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIm warning you, if anything happens tohere, the Stevens family wont let you walk away from this! Her voice shook, but she forced the words out, holding onto the threat as her final line of defense.
Allison didnt flinch.
She calmly reached up and tugged the knife free from the wall as though it were no more than a casual gesture. With a heavy thud, Melanys legs gave way beneath her.
She collapsed onto the cold floor, her breath hitching in terror.
Paralyzed with fear, Melany was certain that the unhinged woman standing before her was capable of ending her life.
Whether its the Stevens family or you, if you think youve got the nerve to challenge me, by all means, take your best shot.
Allison spoke slowly, methodically, wiping the blade clean as if it were just another mundane task.
She then crouched down, bringing herself level with Melanys wide, fearful eyes.
In her left hand, she held an elegantly wrapped red box, adorned with gold and precious stones.
Inside, a gleaming badge rested a symbol of power and wealth.
This is what you were after, wasnt it? Allisons smile was both dazzling and unnerving.
If you can manage to take it from me, its all yours.
Her eyes sparkled with mischief, and the challenge in her tone was unmistakable.
Whats the matter? Do you want it? Melany was beyond words.
Cold beads of sweat formed on her brow, dripping down her face.
As much as she craved the badge, she knew deep down that she stood no chance against this woman.
Allison wasnt just dangerous she was unhinged.
And she still had the knife in her hand.
I dont want it anymore, Melany stammered, her body trembling violently as she backed herself into the corner, practically trying to melt into the wall.
Before Allison could make a move, Melany instinctively threw her hands over her head, shielding herself from the blade she was certain would cdown at any moment.
In that instant, Melany lost all composure, dissolving into sobs.
Please, Ms.
Clarke, Im begging you... just letgo! Allison tossed the knife carelessly onto the table, standing tall once again.
Her voice turned colder than ice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGet out.
The simple words hit Melany like a lifeline.
Without a seconds hesitation, she scrambled to her feet, her hands trembling, and fled as if her very soul were being chased.
She didnt dare look back, tripping over her own feet as she stumbled out the door.
The manager, standing nearby, bowed deeply.

Clarke.

Just as he finished speaking, a voice crackled through his earpiece.
Straightening, he addressed Kellan.
