Forgive My Ex-husband

Chapter 65 Skeptical

When Yulia saw Melinda sitting in the living room of the main villa, she felt unbearable nervous.

For the last few days, something had changed in Melinda's behavior. She couldn't have suddenly

changed for no reason. Anytime they met, Melinda was always guarded as if she was trying to protect

herself from something.

Yulia couldn't hold her back anymore. She assumed that Melinda must have found out what she had

done.

Knowing what Melinda would do to her if she really found out what she had done, Yulia got flustered

anytime she was near Melinda. She didn't know what she was going to do if her plot had been exposed

and Melinda was aware of everything that had been happening.

Now that her schemes had been found out by Melinda, Yulia had to find a way to contain everything, so

her only option would be to come up with more creative ways of dealing with Melinda.

Right at that moment, Emily came to her mind. She was her accomplice, so Emily was the only one

who she could talk to about Melinda and come up with a strategy on what to do with her.

Yulia took out her phone and dialed Emily's number. It didn't even past the second ring before Emily

answered on the other end.

"Hello, may I speak to Miss Bai?"

"Yes, this is her speaking."

As soon as Emily saw that the call was from Yulia, she knew that something must have happened.

Otherwise, Yulia would not call her if it wasn't important.

It must have something to do with Melinda.

Emily secretly sneered while holding the phone, eagerly waiting to hear what it was.

"Do you think you can create some time on your schedule so that we can have a private meeting? I

need to see you so that we can discuss something face to face."

Yulia did not beat around the bush, but got straight to the point and explained her purpose for calling

Emily.

Thus, Yulia made an appointment to meet Emily so that they could discuss their next plan of action and

come up with countermeasures against Melinda.

The last time they had talked, she had called Emily and told her about Melinda's whereabouts, but

Melinda seemed to have been aware of what they had planned and so the matter was revealed.

Therefore, Yulia thought that this time it was better for them to solve their issues and strategize face to

face instead of exposing themselves over the phone once again.

Besides, this time she had cautiously organized their meeting point with Emily so that Melinda couldn't

find out that they had been meeting.

So Yulia arrived at the venue where they had agreed to meet early in the morning, a few minutes

before the time they had agreed on.

The cafe was located in a secluded place and there were very few people. It was very suitable for her

and Emily to discuss their issues because Melinda did not frequent the cafe.

Yulia had arrived early so she made herself comfortable as she waited for Emily to arrive.

With Emily's help, even if Melinda found out, there was nothing much she could do about them.

By the time Emily arrived at their table, she found that Yulia was already there waiting for her and had

ordered something for them to eat.

Emily sat opposite her without hesitation.

"Tell me, what do you want to discuss with me?"

Emily asked immediately when she had made herself comfortable.

Leaning against the back of the chair, she seemed quite relaxed. It seemed that of late she had been

getting along well with Jonas.

Shooting a glance at Emily, Yulia stated quietly, "Melinda knows."

"What do you mean? How did she find out?"

Emily was a little surprised after she heard Yulia's statement. She hadn't expected that Melinda would

find out so quickly.

"She must have sensed something unusual, because when I called you to report her whereabouts she

popped out of nowhere. She must have found out our plan."

After she finished giving an account of what happened, Yulia looked at Emily expectantly. But Emily

was not as relaxed as before, as if she had something in her mind.

"What should we do next?"

Yulia asked impatiently after seeing that Emily was not responding. It was as if she was lost in her own

thoughts.

She was growing impatient because the main reason why she had come out to meet Emily was for

them to discuss this very issue and come up with an airtight strategy.

"It doesn't matter. Don't panic. Besides what can Melinda do even if she finds out our plans? She has

no evidence."

Emily comforted the panic stricken Yulia after coming out of her reverie.

Emily was not afraid that Melinda knew what they were doing. On the contrary, even if Melinda knew

what they had been up to, she could not do anything to them. It was useless to say anything without

evidence, even if there was evidence, she would never admit to it.

Besides, she had Jonas. Emily knew that he had a lot of feelings for her and by the time everything

would be revealed, maybe things would be different by then.

Actually, Emily did not care much about the result at all. However, when she looked at Yulia, who was

sitting opposite her, she noticed that the issue must really be stressing her so she decided to discuss

with her about what they could do next.

Although she didn't care much about the whole issue, she still had to deal with Melinda. She could only

make her moves after having a discussion with Yulia so that they were not contradicting each other.

However, unbeknown to them Melinda had witnessed everything.

Today, Melinda was finally free and not being stalked by Yulia or trying to be distracted with all kinds of

reasons. She was ready to spend some well needed alone time and go out for a walk by herself, but

she had unexpectedly bumped into Yulia and Emily.

The two girls sat together, talking and laughing. It seemed that they were discussing something that

they had in common. Melinda knew that they were thinking about how to deal with her, because they

both hated her and often came up with strategies against her.

While still keenly observing Yulia and Emily, she took out her phone and called Jonas.

She wanted to tell Jonas that she had seen with her own eyes both Yulia and Emily discussing how to

make her life more miserable than it already was.

"Hey, Jonas, I bumped into Yulia and Emily who were engrossed in discussing something. It seems that

they were planning on how to deal with me later considering I am the only topic that seems to bring

them together."

When the phone was connected, Melinda didn't even give Jonas a chance to say hello. She spoke out

in one breath without taking a break as if someone was chasing her.

This time she called him immediately, because the last time when she had talked to Jonas as she

realized that she was being watched, Jonas didn't believe because she had no evidence at the time.

"No way," said Jonas after hesitating for a while. He then continued, "How can Yulia and Emily come up

with a plan to harm you? They're not such kind of people. How can you talk about them like that?"

It was obvious that Jonas didn't believe Melinda. Melinda was angry that Jonas didn't believe her. She

wanted to throw her phone and hopefully hit his doubting Thomas face.

Melinda glanced at Yulia and Emily again, and found that they were still sitting there huddle together.

Melinda wanted to take a photo of them being together and send it to Jonas. As long as there were

photos, Jonas would believe her.

Thus, Melinda said angrily, "If you don't believe me, I will take photos for you."

Without waiting for any response from Jonas, she hung up the phone, pressing the red button as if she

had a grudge with it.

Melinda took the opportunity to take a photo of both Yulia and Emily, while huddled like thieves and

sent them to Jonas.

It was hard for Jonas not to believe what Melinda said, because he could now see the photos in his

phone.

But there was still some doubts in Jonas's heart. He wanted to ask Emily in person what was going on,

so he called her asking if they could meet for a drink.

Emily soon appeared at the place where they were to meet, because she did not know what had NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

happened. She thought it was just a regular meeting like the ones they had been having.

But when she sat down, she noticed that Jonas didn't look okay, which made her suspicious. So she

asked gently, "What's wrong, Jonas?"

Taking a look at Emily, who seemed to have no problem, Jonas replied, "Melinda saw you with Yulia

strategizing on how to make her life miserable. I didn't believe it before. However, Melinda took pictures

of you two. Is that true?"

After taking his sweet time thinking on how he was going to broach the subject, Jonas decided to ask

her directly.

"How can such a thing be true?"

Emily faked a smile and denied it vehemently.

Emily didn't expect that Melinda would see that she was with Yulia, even went a step further and sent

photos to Jonas.

But it seemed that Jonas still didn't believe her. Emily deduced that the situation wasn't too bad. As

long as Jonas believed in her, even if Melinda had evidence, there was nothing Melinda could do to

her. The consequences wouldn't be too harsh.

Seeing that Jonas, who was sitting opposite her, wasn't saying anything to contradict her statement,

and that his expression softened, Emily then continued to explain, "I just happened to meet Yulia by

accident, so we sat together to have a chat and probably that's what Melinda saw."

After pausing for a second on purpose, Emily continued, "I don't know what happened either. What was

she doing at that cafe to run into us? And why would she claim that Yulia and I were discussing how to

harm her together?

Jonas, how could I do that? It was obviously that Melinda was trying to frame me up. You have to trust

me. If not, who else will believe me anymore?"

Emily knew that the reason Jonas asked to see her was because he didn't believe a word of what

Melinda said. Therefore, she lied through her teeth claiming that it was a coincidence that she had met

Yulia by chance, and that she was being framed by Melinda, in order to win the trust and gain some

sympathy from Jonas.

Hearing what Emily said, Jonas was in a dilemma. On one hand, he heard what Melinda had said and

the photos she took did corroborate her claims; on the other hand, he heard Emily's defense. He didn't

know whom he should believe.

It seemed that it was unnecessary for Melinda to lie to him, and Emily was also not a person who would

lie to him. Therefore, it was impossible for Jonas to determine whether the whole thing was true or not

and who was lying to him.

Sensing what was going on in Jonas's mind, Emily pretended to be sad and continued to push Jonas,

saying, "Jonas, since you don't believe me, it's okay. Anyway, I really didn't do that."

After saying that, Emily pretended to be sad and left. She ran to the bar, to get herself drunk, trying to

make Jonas feel guilty.

Jonas followed Emily, worried that she would do something stupid and get into trouble or something

might happen to her, so he stopped by the elbow and turned her to look at him. Seeing Emily's sad

look, he couldn't help but feel like a horrible person.

Jonas felt guilty that he didn't believe Emily and had offended her, so he was responsible for pushing

her to go to the bar to get herself drunk out of anger.

Then, it occurred to him that it was Melinda who told him that Emily and Yulia had been discussing how

to harm her and she even took photos.

The more Jonas thought about it, the more skeptical he felt in his heart about Melinda's claims.

Since Emily looked so sad, it didn't seem like she was lying, so Jonas concluded that Melinda had lied

to him and he chose to believe Emily instead.

So Jonas decided to comfort Emily, who was getting more and more drunk, gulping alcohol as if it was

water, to show his trust.

After hearing his sweet words of comfort, Emily knew that the 'Operation of hoodwinking Jonas' had

been successful. Jonas didn't believe a word that Melinda had said.

Emily made no response and pretended to be sad, but in her heart, she was laughing happily.
