The situation needed to escalate. If Nyla wasn't pushed to her limits, she wouldn't willingly stay by his side.
Gabriel's smile deepened. He was confident that soon he would be with Nyla.
Melody cried bitterly in the taxi on her way home. She hadn't expected that the first man she ever liked would use her to schagainst Nyla, and worse... Nyla was his sister. When she got home, she cried again.
It took several hours for her emotions to settle. Just as she was about to call Nyla to tell her what she had discovered, a news alert popped up on her phone screen.

Was this done out of revenge or for profit?] Melody clicked on the link and found a sensationalist article. Not only did it accuse Nyla of leaking the data, but it also exposed Nyla's past relationship with Damon.
The article implied that Nyla had leaked the data out of spite after being dumped by Damon, seeking revenge. Fuming with anger, Melody saw that most comments were attacking Nyla. She couldn't hold back and started arguing with the commenters.
When she encountered scalmer ones, she tried to explain, but with everyone so quick to judge, no one believed her.
After all, people were more interested in the than the truth.
Taking a deep breath, Melody stopped replying and was about to call Nyla when she received a call from home. "Melody, chquickly. Your dad's had an accident!" Meanwhile, Gabriel received a call as well.
"Mr. Hackett, the matter has been taken care of," the caller informed.
Gabriel smirked. "Did you convey the messages I asked?" "Yes," the man answered.
"Good," Gabriel replied.
He hung up, still smiling, but his eyes were cold. He wouldn't let anyone derail his plans. He hoped Melody would understand her place. Otherwise, next time, her father's injury might be more severe than just a broken leg.
Soon after, Melody called him. "Gabriel, you've caused my dad to break his leg. Nyla will never like someone as malicious as you!" Gabriel's smile turned icy. "Say that again?" His voice carried a chilling coldness that pierced through the phone. Melody felt a shiver run down her spine. She trembled involuntarily, and her voice wavered. "Did I say something wrong? You're just selfish and cruel!" "Melody, you'll soon find out the cost of angering me." With that, Gabriel ended the call.

Holding her phone, she hesitated over whether to tell Nyla that Gabriel was behind the data leak. However, she remembered her mother's earlier warning, and her hesitation grew.
Her family was ordinary, and her parents had struggled to raise her! She could disregard her safety but couldn't disregard her parents'.
As Melody hesitated, her mother emerged from the ward with a stack of bills. "Melody here's the bill. We need to pay a deposit of 4,000 dollars..." Her parents had just spent their savings to buy her a small
apartment on the edge of Saintornia.
They didn't even have 1000 dallar's left, let alone 4,000 dollars.
