Chapter 65 Skeptical

When Yulia saw Melinda sitting in the living room of the main villa, she felt unbearable nervous.

For the last few days, something had changed in Melinda's behavior. She couldn't have suddenly changed for no reason. Anytime they met, Melinda was always guarded as if she was trying to protect herself from something.

Yulia couldn't hold her back anymore. She assumed that Melinda must have found out what she had done.

Knowing what Melinda would do to her if she really found out what she had done, Yulia got flustered anytime she was near Melinda. She didn't know what she was going to do if her plot had been exposed and Melinda was aware of everything that had been happening.

Now that her schemes had been found out by Melinda, Yulia had to find a way to contain everything, so her only option would be to come up with more creative ways of dealing with Melinda.

Right at that moment, Emily came to her mind. She was her accomplice, so Emily was the only one who she could talk to about Melinda and come up with a strategy on what to do with her.

Yulia took out her phone and dialed Emily's number. It didn't even past the second ring before Emily answered on the other end.

"Hello, may I speak to Miss Bai?"

"Yes, this is her speaking."

As soon as Emily saw that the call was from Yulia, she knew that something must have happened. Otherwise, Yulia would not call her if it wasn't important.

It must have something to do with Melinda.

Emily secretly sneered while holding the phone, eagerly waiting to hear what it was.

"Do you think you can create some time on your schedule so that we can have a private meeting? I need to see you so that we can discuss something face to face."

Yulia did not beat around the bush, but got straight to the point and explained her purpose for calling Emily.

Thus, Yulia made an appointment to meet Emily so that they could discuss their next plan of action and come up with countermeasures against Melinda.

The last time they had talked, she had called Emily and told her about Melinda's whereabouts, but Melinda seemed to have been aware of what they had planned and so the matter was revealed.

Therefore, Yulia thought that this time it was better for them to solve their issues and strategize face to face instead of exposing themselves over the phone once again.

Besides, this time she had cautiously organized their meeting point with Emily so that Melinda couldn't find out that they had been meeting.

So Yulia arrived at the venue where they had agreed to meet early in the morning, a few minutes before the time they had agreed on.

The cafe was located in a secluded place and there were very few people. It was very suitable for her and Emily to discuss their issues because Melinda did not frequent the cafe.

Yulia had arrived early so she made herself comfortable as she waited for Emily to arrive.

With Emily's help, even if Melinda found out, there was nothing much she could do about them.

By the time Emily arrived at their table, she found that Yulia was already there waiting for her and had ordered something for them to eat.

Emily sat opposite her without hesitation.

"Tell me, what do you want to discuss with me?"

Emily asked immediately when she had made herself comfortable.

Leaning against the back of the chair, she seemed quite relaxed. It seemed that of late she had been getting along well with Jonas.

Shooting a glance at Emily, Yulia stated quietly, "Melinda knows."

"What do you mean? How did she find out?"

Emily was a little surprised after she heard Yulia's statement. She hadn't expected that

bviously that Melinda was trying to frame me up. You have to trust me. If not, who else will believe me anymore?"

Emily knew that the reason Jonas asked to see her was because he didn't believe a word of what Melinda said. Therefore, she lied through her teeth claiming that it was a coincidence that she had met Yulia by chance, and that she was being framed by Melinda, in order to win the trust and gain some sympathy from Jonas.

Hearing what Emily said, Jonas was in a dilemma. On one hand, he heard what Melinda had said and the photos she took did corroborate her claims; on the other hand, he heard Emily's defense. He didn't know whom he should believe.

It seemed that it was unnecessary for Melinda to lie to him, and Emily was also not a person who would lie to him. Therefore, it was impossible for Jonas to determine whether the whole thing was true or not and who was lying to him.

Sensing what was going on in Jonas's mind, Emily pretended to be sad and continued to push Jonas, saying, "Jonas, since you don't believe me, it's okay. Anyway, I really didn't do that."

After saying that, Emily pretended to be sad and left. She ran to the bar, to get herself drunk, trying to make Jonas feel guilty.

Jonas followed Emily, worried that she would do something stupid and get into trouble or something might happen to her, so he stopped by the elbow and turned her to look at him. Seeing Emily's sad look, he couldn't help but feel like a horrible person.

Jonas felt guilty that he didn't believe Emily and had offended her, so he was responsible for pushing her to go to the bar to get herself drunk out of anger.

Then, it occurred to him that it was Melinda who told him that Emily and Yulia had been discussing how to harm her and she even took photos.

The more Jonas thought about it, the more skeptical he felt in his heart about Melinda's claims.

Since Emily looked so sad, it didn't seem like she was lying, so Jonas concluded that Melinda had lied to him and he chose to believe Emily instead.

So Jonas decided to comfort Emily, who was getting more and more drunk, gulping alcohol as if it was water, to show his trust.

After hearing his sweet words of comfort, Emily knew that the 'Operation of hoodwinking Jonas' had been successful. Jonas didn't believe a word that Melinda had said.

Emily made no response and pretended to be sad, but in her heart, she was laughing happily.
