I never meant to deal with Melody. After all, if Dexter had really taken his own life, there's no way Melody would have the energy to come over and cause a scene. Her shouting and making a fuss seemed more like a deliberate act.
If I'm guessing right, there must be reporters or someone lurking around. Melody was putting on a show.
I frowned, feeling like every move this woman made was part of her and Damian's next scheme.
But, unfortunately, she managed to stir Colin.
Colin walked out into the yard, looking at Melody outside.
Melody visibly tensed up, taking a step back. "Caleb Langley, Dexter's gone, it's all because of Foebe, haven't you ever doubted her identity?"
Colin's cold gaze fixed on Melody. "Not leaving? I'll let the dog out."
With a slight gesture, the butler prepared to open the gate, and Coly, our eager dog, was ready to dash out.
Melody, terrified, looked at Colin, her face turning pale.
"I have proof!" Melody shouted in desperation. "Caleb, I have proof that Foebe is a fraud... She's not the real Phoebe; she's been deceiving you all."
Trembling, Melody took out an envelope, from which several photos fell out.
Colin had no intention of entertaining her and signaled the butler to open the gate.
As soon as there was a small gap, Coly bolted forward.
Melody, scared out of her wits, screamed, ran to her car, and slammed the door shut.
Colin walked to the gate indifferently, only looking down at the photos after Melody had fled.
From upstairs, I couldn't see the photos clearly but had a feeling things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Melody wouldn't have come all this way for nothing.
I hurried downstairs, wanting to see what she had brought, but by the time I got there, Colin had already torn up all the photos.
