A Whisper that went unheard novel Chapter 198

Andrew turned to Jeremy again, but before he could say anything, Jeremy expressionlessly asked, "Is Melody involved in this?" His tone was neutral, but combined with him saying that he was here to pick someone up, his meaning was clear—he was here to take Melody home.

Andrew was caught off guard.

Of course, Melody wasn't involved. He had merely taken the opportunity to ask her here so he could remind her of her place.

But Andrew couldn't tell Jeremy that, so he could only force a smile and say, "Of course not. It's just that she was the only person her friends could get in touch with. After all, Mel has always been a good kid."

"So, you and Mr. Grant think that the problem lies with Felicia?" Zachary's low voice sounded again.

This time, neither Andrew nor Sebastian had anything to say.

Before Zachary arrived, they didn't think that there was anything wrong with pointing fingers at Felicia. She was only a young lady, after all, and she held no real power in the York family.

But Zachary was different—he was the sole heir to the Stantons.

Zachary's gaze swept over the two men. "If you're adamant that Felicia stole something, then I hope you can provide the evidence rather than just asking us to take you for your word."

Evidence? What evidence?

Technically, there was evidence, and they were all in Felicia's camera. But would that evidence be in support of Felicia or them?

With that, neither Andrew nor Sebastian dared utter another word.

…

Once they left the police station, Tiffany sent Jason home, while Felicia left with Zachary.

After that, Melody followed Jeremy into his car.

And thus, Melody ran out of things to say again.

However, in the next second, she heard Jeremy say, "Be careful who you're friends with. Not everyone is suited to be a friend."

Melody stilled, sensing that Jeremy had specific people in mind.

She softly replied, "Felicia and Jason aren't what you think. They only went there because they wanted to investigate the issues with Celestial Group and the Regallo Charity Foundation."

"Reckless people are usually the ones who get in trouble," Jeremy said. After a pause, he added, "I don't recommend you spending too much time with people like that. Otherwise, you'll just become collateral damage again."

Melody had been feeling grateful just moments ago because of his help, but all of that had vanished instantly.

She lowered her gaze, pressed her lips together, and slowly said, "You didn't have to help. No one asked you to."
