Chapter 74 

Sapphire couldn’t help frowning as she looked at Melanie. “Melanie, what’s going on with you? Why did you take Felicia’s journal?” 

Felicia was not in any condition to listen to anyone. All she wanted was to get the journal back as soon as possible. That was the only way that she would feel safe. 

However, she could not beat Melanie up in front of everyone. She was in a dilemma. 

oment. She immediately looked upset, and her eyes turned red almost 

Melanie knew that it was her turn to put on a show, and this would be a crucial moment. instantly. 

Everyone was nonplussed. Even Sophie, who did not like Melanie, did not rush to interrupt, 

Melanie gathered her emotions and sniffed. “I didn’t take Felicia’s journal on purpose. I went to her room today to help her clean it, and I also wanted to wipe down the cupboards inside. I found this notebook Inside. I wanted to wipe the covers for her, but it accidentally fell onto the floor. I saw what was written inside_” 

Melanie spoke with a straight face. The notebooks at the time had soft plastic covers, so what she had said was plausible. No one Felicia burst out angrily, “You’re lying! My cupboard was locked! How did you open it? You’re just a thief, and you’re looking for excuses!”

It was time for Melanie to put her acting skills to the test. She looked both confused and aggrieved as she stared at Felicia in disbelief. “Felicia, your cupboard wasn’t locked.

Felicia wished that the ground would swallow her whole. She wanted to rush over and cover Melanie’s mouth, but she knew that it was too late. Since things had gotten to this point, she would not be able to just sinooth things over. 

“What was written in that journal?” Sophie wasn’t the only one who was curious. Even Lura and Sapphire were waiting Melanie did not say anything. Instead, she took out the journal. She had marked the page so that it could be seen as soon as she flipped it o

As it was her diary, Felicia was very direct with penning her thoughts. She clearly and explicitly described her love and
