My Super Sassy Dad: Stop Running Away, Mrs. Quinn!-Chapter 424: Poisoning

"Arrest who?" A deep, magnetic voice sounded from outside the door, and a tall, upright figure walked in unhurriedly.

Jared Quinn returned and stood behind Melody Thorne, his dark phoenix eyes landing on the two soldiers.

"Mr. Quinn," the two immediately spoke up.

Upon seeing Jared Quinn arrive, Rochelle Thorne’s expression involuntarily shifted. She had clearly watched this man walk out; why had he returned?

"She drugged my mom," Rochelle Thorne quickly spoke up, "Regardless of her identity, drugging someone is a serious crime, and she must be arrested."

Jared’s gaze swept indifferently over Rochelle, an overwhelming coldness descending, his presence imposing.

Rochelle took a few steps back behind the two soldiers, feeling weak.

"Was it you who drugged me?" Mrs. Thorne struggled to get up from the hospital bed, her gaze at Melody Thorne full of disappointment. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"I know what Rochelle said to you a few days ago might have hurt you, and I also know severing ties with the Thorne family could hurt you, but how could you do such a thing? Did you plan to keep me asleep here just to avoid cutting ties?"

Melody’s hands clenched tighter, her long eyelashes covering her gaze at the moment.

"I’m so disappointed in you. I should’ve listened to Rochelle and not softened towards you. From now on, don’t come back to the Thorne Family. We have no ties anymore."

Mrs. Thorne lowered her eyes, a stabbing pain in her heart, the feeling particularly vivid.

"Mom," unable to endure any longer, Finn Thorne stormed in from outside the hospital room.

Before he could say anything, he saw Melody move, followed by the loud sound of a slap echoing in the air.

Rochelle Thorne clutched her face with one hand, nearly falling to the ground, but fortunately, she caught the arm of a soldier next to her.

"Melody Thorne, how dare you hit me?!" Rochelle shouted frantically, raising her hand to return the slap.

No one had ever hit her in her life!

Her hand was mid-air when it was seized by a large hand. She looked up into a pair of cold, emotionless eyes, burning with a fierce fire, as if she would be burned alive the next second.

Rochelle’s body shook violently; she immediately pulled her hand back and retreated, shouting, "Mom, Mom, save me, they’re going to kill me! They’re going to kill me!"

"Kill?" Melody laughed coldly. In this short time, how many accusations had Rochelle made against her?

Drugging? Killing?

She stepped forward and slapped Rochelle on the face again, "Rochelle, this slap is for your malicious heart, calculating against your own mother. You’ve used mom time and again, never truly seeing her as family!"

"I don’t understand what you’re saying!" Rochelle kept retreating towards the door, her eyes filled with panic at the sight of Melody, "Don’t come any closer! Mom, Mom, save me, save me, she’s really going to kill me!"

"Rochelle, Rochelle," Mrs. Thorne struggled to get up from the bed, "What do you all want? My daughter hasn’t offended you. She wouldn’t drug me, she wouldn’t."

"Mom, stay calm. The doctor is already looking into it. There are surveillance cameras in the corridor. Whoever did this will be found out," Finn’s gaze swept over Rochelle.
