Chapter 1987 "Now do you believe I'm innocent?" asked Melody.
Lucas took another glance at the surveillance footage on his computer and felt an inexplicable annoyance rising in his chest. He adjusted his tie and asked, "Is there anything else you're callingabout?" Even though Melody had shown him the evidence, Lucas' tone remained distant.
'What's wrong with him?' Melody wondered.

Lucas had already assigned Edmund to look into this matter before Melody's call, but he simply responded coldly, "Okay." The culprit did not really pay much attention to being discreet, and Edmund's brief investigation quickly led him to Wendy.
"Ma'am, it was Wendy who took the photos," reported Edmund.
Melody's face darkened with anger. She was so sure that the three million dollars would be enough to cut ties with the Sanders once and for all. Little did she expect Wendy to be so relentless and stoop so low to hurt her.
'They have no one to blfor the consequences coming for them!' thought Melody vehemently, vowing to stop at nothing to teach the Sanders a lesson.
"Miss Melody, do you wantto step in and warn Wendy?" asked Edmund.
After a moment of contemplation, Melody shook her head. "No, that won't be necessary. I'll handle this on my own. Though, I'll need your help with something." Edmund nodded. "Anything, Miss Melody. I'm under strict orders from Mister Lucas to assist you with anything, anytime." "I need you to find out what Wendy has been up to lately. What jobs she's taken on, or what film crew she's working with." Melody knew Wendy's top priority was her career. It was better to teach her a lesson by starting with what she cared about the most.
Edmund quickly had someone look into it and soon informed Melody that Wendy had been jobless lately. She had been busy reaching out to various movie projects in hopes of securing roles and joining the cast for upcoming shoots.
Wendy was desperate for fame, and her primary focus was on getting blockbuster roles that would give her more exposure. She must be panicking at being jobless and watching her popularity fade.

She borrowed Edmund's work phone to call Wendy. She purposely pinched pose so that her voice would her change when talking to Wendy. "Hello, is this Miss Wendy Sander?" "Yeah, who's this?" asked Wendy with annoyance. She was obviously not in a good mood.
"I'm the casting director for the 'Love Fortress'. We're currently, on the lookout foran m actress for the female lead, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in auditioning?"
"Casting director?" Wendy perked up upon hearing the caller's identity, m tone becmucher polite, "I'm sorry, Director. I didn't hear clearly earlier. Which did you say you're in charge of casting?" Melody pinched her nose again and repeated, "Love Fortress." "Love Fortress?" Wendy tried to recall but could not place the name. "I've never heard of it."
