Melody Thorne didn't need to wait for his answer to know the truth; she turned and left, both men had lied to her.
"Melody," Jared Quinn quickly chased after her, grabbed her arm, and held her in his arms. "I knew the truth, but my position is different from his. I hope you see it clearly for yourself."
It was rare for him to explain.
"But that was Kiki Sutton. Just because you wanted me to see clearly, you disregarded whether she lived or died? If you'd warned me earlier, she wouldn't have jumped, I wouldn't have believed Hans Montrose. But even knowing, you didn't tell me."
"Melody," Jared Quinn tried to hold her.
Melody Thorne pushed him away, feeling increasingly uncomfortable in her heart.
"Don't follow me, I want to be alone for a while."
In the end, it was because she wasn't strong enough, not strong enough to protect herself, and just like everyone else, she fell for the deception.
