Chapter 1009 - 1012: You’re Lying

Melody Thorne: "If I bring it out now, then I’m indirectly saying that what Donovan Hawthorne has is fake. Isn’t he still very dangerous?"

"This... But now there’s no other choice, we can’t let him continue down this path. Locking him up is better than killing him!"

"What do I need to prepare?" Melody Thorne asked, confused.

"This..." Adjutant Chaucer glanced at Jared Quinn "After entering the military, they’ll definitely want you to show your shooting skills. If... if Miss Thorne can shoot, that would be best!"

Melody Thorne: "... I can’t."

"Then we’ll have to trouble Jared!"

"..."

Adjutant Chaucer left, and Melody Thorne was taken by Jared Quinn to a room on the top floor of the villa, where there were ten to twenty guns on a table. "Choose one you like. These are all silenced; no one will hear the noise outside. You can practice here whenever you have time!"

Melody Thorne chose a small, handy gun, aimed at the wall not far away, and fired a shot that landed on the outer ring.

Jared Quinn’s eyes flashed with amazement: "Not bad, hitting the ring on your first shot is already great. You have talent."

Melody Thorne: "... I also want to see you shoot once!"

Jared Quinn casually raised his hand and fired a shot, hitting the dead center without missing!

Melody Thorne: "Amazing. When can I practice until I reach that level?"

"Soon!"

"You’re lying!"

Jared Quinn chuckled lightly: "As long as you know, it’s fine. As long as you can shoot, they won’t dare to make things too difficult for you!"

"Really?"

"Mm."

A week later, Donovan Hawthorne was imprisoned by Jared Quinn’s men. Just as they were about to announce the transfer order in Melody Thorne’s possession, misfortune struck.

Melody Thorne: "..."

"Now that everyone knows the item is with Donovan Hawthorne, let him bear the burden for now. Ma’am, do what you need to do; no one will suspect you. Even if they do, you have the Seymour and Quinn Families behind you, no one would dare to do anything to you!"

"... Alright."

Melody Thorne worried, "Jared Quinn, can this military unit be preserved? Uncle Hawthorne taught it to me when he left, and I don’t want it destroyed by me!"

"Don’t worry, without the transfer order, no one would dare to do anything to them. Just hide well," Jared Quinn said, rubbing her hair.

"Mm."

Melody Thorne received a call from Selina Sloan, saying she had been discharged from the hospital but was now in some trouble, and asked her to help out.

Melody Thorne took Timmy to the address Selina Sloan mentioned, and from a distance, she saw a man standing in the corridor with the door number behind him just matching the one Selina Sloan said.

Melody Thorne: "..."

She should say she’s also very busy!

"Uncle Elias!" Timmy ran over "Uncle Elias, why are you here?"

Elias Hale’s gaze softened involuntarily as he glanced at Melody Thorne, squatted down, "Uncle is waiting for someone here!"
