Chapter 6: Disgusting... and Shameless...
After Alex returned to the police station, he contacted Thomas to investigate the high school security camera data together... They began to carefully examine and analyze the recordings to look for any evidence that showed a relationship between Ivan and Maria ...
At the same time, Melinda does more undercover investigation into Evan at the high school. She realized that she needed to get detailed information about his school life and his social relationships. To better understand his personality type...
Melinda returns to Alex and tells him the full details of her secret investigation into Evan. Alex listened intently to her story, and it really was
Alex is surprised that Melinda can investigate so skillfully at such a young age and on reflection decides that she needs a new plan to deal with Evan and get any information he may have. He decides that he will use Melinda's investigative skills to spy on Evan in indirect ways.
Then, for the next few days, Melinda watched Evan, following his movements and activities. And try to analyze his cold behavior and actions.
Through this secret observation, I felt that a moment would come when the opportunity would open up to gather evidence or obtain useful information to uncover the hidden truth behind Maria Starlet's murder…
The basketball club…
"Damn, this is getting annoying…" From inside the club hall, an annoyed voice that carried an extreme coldness suddenly rang out…
"What are you doing…?!" Melinda's heart raced and she didn't expect Evan to detect her presence… His facial expression changed and her eyes reflected how confused her thoughts were…
In the corner of the basketball court, behind the spectator seats, Melinda stood tense and confused, while Evan grabbed her arm tightly...
"Leave me…!!" Melinda was horrified at how quickly Evan moved to grab her... She hadn't expected him to have discovered her location from behind the fan chairs... Her golden hair hung around her taut features and she screamed annoyingly looking into Evan's black eyes...
"Why the hell are you stalking me?…?!" Evan felt angry with this girl, the previous days she had followed him from place to place… even now when he was training alone, she had come to see him…
"I'm chasing you...? Who is stalking you? Leave me now or I will scream loudly...!!" Melinda felt his hard body gaining control over her, her arm aching as he held her roughly and furiously.
"If you still want information on that girl, you're not going to get anything from me. I want you to get away from me and leave me alone." Evan was allergic to being watched by others, he always felt suffocated by the press and reporters who kept hounding him… he said with anger and resentment in his voice. …
"I told you I'm not looking at you… You imagine… Leave me now…" Melinda didn't expect her secret investigations to be revealed, she didn't understand why this happened since things were going so well… She pulled him away. hands in an effort to break free from his grip
"Shameless girl… How dare you deny it…?!" Evan looked at my husband with those green eyes and said angrily… He clenched his fist tightly into her soft arm…
"You bastard… you hurt me…" Melinda's expression changed from surprise and confusion to extreme pain, she screamed angrily…
"Shut up...!! If I see you spying on me again, I will report you to the police..." Ivan showed annoyance and lack of interest in her condition and said threateningly...
" I told you I'm not following you..! I'm going to make a complaint to the school..." Melinda tried to keep him calm and showed her irritation and disapproval of his harsh treatment. She continued to struggle to free herself from his grip...
"If you don't follow me, can you tell me what you're doing here behind the chairs at a time like this...?! Who knows if you're one of those nervous stalkers...?! I'm sure the school high school will expel you for such immoral behavior…" Evan looked at her pained expression. He let her go and said coldly... In the first place, he didn't want to hurt her, but rather threaten her. get away from him.
"I… I told you I'm not here to see you… I came to watch the rehearsals of the club members…" Melinda's heart skipped a beat when she was called by such a strange nickname and she said nervously and confused…
"Club member training…?!" Evan kept looking at her strangely from those black eyes… There was no one else in the gym. Because he decided to stay longer to train for the long shot...
"I mean, I didn't know training time was over…" Melinda's eyes reflected how clouded her thoughts were and she mumbled strangely as she found it difficult to lie down like a straight girl…
A tense and charged atmosphere slowly spread as Evan and Melinda looked at each other...
"Shit, get out of my face…" Evan looked at my husband with those green eyes. He sighed and took a step away from him…
"You bastard… I'll never forgive you… I'm going to go and complain about what you did to me…" Melinda felt her right arm hurt and screamed in anger and hate from behind Evan…
"Do whatever you want, stalker geek..." Evan wasn't scared at all because his family donated a large amount of money to the high school every year...
"You bastard, repeat what you said and I'll kill you...!" Melinda screamed in hatred and anger, not expecting to get the title of Obsessed Chase as she wanted to get the title of Private Investigator...
"Nervous stalker, stupid blonde girl…" Ivan muttered lightly, but his words were still particularly audible in the silence surrounding the hall…
"You…!!" Melinda held a complicated expression at this moment and shouted angrily.
Evan ignored her screams and continued on his way to the dressing room...
"This guy, he's a bastard…" Melinda glared at Evan like a rabid puppy and muttered in annoyance as she watched him enter the hallway….
"How dare you call me like that...?! I will make him pay the price…"
Melinda felt a whirlwind of negative emotions wash over her as she remembered his words...
-
Evan went to the locker room and spent a few minutes there.
He then stepped out wearing a black jacket while carrying his gym bag...
"You…? Are you still here…?!" Evan felt strange seeing how Melinda was still standing outside the dressing room… He looked at her annoyed and said coldly…
"Evan Douglas, I have a question for you and I want you to answer…?!" Melinda looked at this handsome young man with black hair with a strange look in her green eyes and said solemnly in her voice…
"I have no desire to see you, let alone answer your trivial questions…?!" Evan was annoyed to see how this girl continued to follow him. A step forward...
"Stop…! Please stop, I'm just taking a moment of your time, I'm not even going to file a complaint against you…" Melinda grabbed Evan's gym bag and continued firmly in her voice…
"I don't care, come on and tell everyone about it..." With a side slap from Evan's hand, he removed Melinda's hand from the bag, he hated others touching his privates….
"You… just tell me, don't you feel sorry for Maria and what happened to her..? Treat her like your sister…don't you really care to find the truth and give her justice…?" Melinda stared at him intently. those black eyes and said solemnly holding his right hand in pain from his shock collateral. She tried to contain her anger for the sake of her friend Maria...
"You're really a stubborn girl, it seems you haven't figured it out yet… I don't care about Maria or what happened to her… Leave me alone…" For a moment Ivan's eyes looked like a dark abyss, shining with a coldness undescribeable…
Melinda felt goosebumps from this dark look, she froze in shock when she heard those words… Now she realized that this person had no human emotions…
"Maybe it's because of the environment he grew up in."
"We can't tell what kind of personality Ivan is by exchanging a few superficial words with him, we have to investigate him closely." Suddenly, Detective Alex's words came back to Melinda's mind, leaving her to stare at the young man in silence. For a moment I could have wondered what was the real reason behind his cruel nature...
Melinda tried to speak, but in front of those black eyes she felt irresponsible, she couldn't find the right words to say...
Evan looked at her complicated expression and took a step away…
"Whoa..." Melinda didn't want it to end like this and blocked Evan's way by opening both of her hands to her sides...Deep down, she was determined to try to get to him and find out the truth.
"Please give me a chance to talk to you. You may have information that can help us shed light on Mary's murder. This is a human life and a truth worth uncovering." Melinda revealed a solemn expression on her face and said. loudly…
"Okay, I'll give you a few seconds. Speak, but keep it short and to the point." Evan took a deep breath, even after so many hours he didn't feel the exhaustion that this blonde girl had given him...
"I speak..?! I want to know some small detail that might help us track down the suspect…?" Melinda watched his facial expressions with a sincere intent to listen, but at this crucial moment she felt how much he had questioned her. he lacked skills and she didn't know what to ask him about…
"I don't have any details about the crime because I'm not one of the witnesses… Like everyone else, I got the news of Maria's death the next morning…" Evan carefully considered Melinda's words as he looked deep into her eyes. green.
Hearing his superficial words, Melinda remained silent, these were not the words she wanted to hear... She felt a strange feeling deep down...
Her thoughts were conflicting whether Evan was telling the truth or lying about her… and she had no way of determining that, she wanted Detective Alex to be here to do a top class professional investigation…
"If you don't have any more questions, I'll go now…" Evan sighed as he looked at her and was about to leave…
"Stop… Please stop… You must have other clues you're trying to hide…" Melinda felt her heart rate pick up and did her best to investigate… She realized that this opportunity was irreplaceable for disclosed information that had…
"Annoying girl, I don't know who told you that I had information about the crime, but he was lying to you… He probably wanted to have fun watching a naive girl like you investigate the case…" Evan didn't understand why she insisted that he had such information But this is starting to get annoying for him. he said angrily...
"Naive girl....?! If you were so sure of your innocence why didn't you agree to go to the police station...? I want you to accompany me to the private investigator's office if you are honest in your words..." Suddenly this idea popped into Melinda's mind and she tried to use this opportunity to bring Alex and Evan together...
"The question is, since I am so sure of my innocence, why should I go to the police station…?! Is it not right with your mind…?!" Because of Evan's fame as well as his family, he couldn't keep every detail from coming out saying that he was a murder suspect, so his family's lawyer made sure that the news was not leaked to the press...
"Please...come with me to the police station...I want to make sure you are truthful in your words so that I can start investigating other possibilities that we may have found the real killer..." Melinda she finally couldn't hold her firm stance and suffered from a breakdown, so her feelings overwhelmed her and she said in a full voice sadly…
"I told you I don't care about this matter… Believe it or not, it's none of my business…" Evan felt weirded out by her sudden reaction, but still spoke coldly… There was no chance of getting involved with the police and the media...
"Maria was my close friend, and I made a graveside promise that I would discover the identity of her killer and bring him to justice... Please help me tell the world the truth..." Melinda heard his harsh words and unconsciously dew-like tears began to flow from those green eyes... They were tears of bitterness and helplessness...
"If you are going to investigate me, you have to pay the price of discrediting me… Tell me, can you afford to pay such a huge price…?!" Evan stared with those teary black eyes and spoke after a moment of silence. …
"The price of your discredit...?!" Melinda realized how much such news would affect Evan's cinematic reputation if it reached the ears of the press and media... Her expression changed as she looked into those dark eyes.
"Last week I spent several million dollars and bought a small house in a quiet and secluded place on the side of town." Evan realized how confused her thoughts were and said coldly…
"A small house…?! Millions of dollars…" Melinda muttered with shock in her voice because getting a million dollars was one of her impossible dreams… She tried to imagine what kind of small house she was talking about…
"What I'm trying to say is, can you come with me tonight? And do your investigative session out of sight...?!" Evan looked around again to make sure there were no prying ears, then moved a little closer to Melinda and whispered low…
"You slut… how dare you…" Melinda's expression changed when she saw how he approached her and she immediately backed away while looking at him carefully and surprised… She didn't expect him to be so rude…
"There's no need for such a reaction, I'm not a murderer, nor do I intend to hurt you… All I'm trying to do is offer my assistance in your investigation… I feel like I'd tell everything I know if only two of us were in the interrogation room…" Evan looked up with a small smile on his face and said. …
"Evan Douglas, how can you be so shameless...?! Aren't you human...? Don't you feel human feelings...?!" Melinda looked at that smile and felt hatred towards him... She didn't expect him to ask such a thing of her, especially after she had spoken to him. Sincerely in her intention to investigate her friend's case. ..
"Human feeling..? Haha, I've always had a hard time understanding human nature… I'm trying to invite my high school girlfriend over to see my new house, but she's scolding me instead of being happy about it…" Evan laughed as heard. her words were filled with anger and hatred and she told him sarcastically.
"Your girlfriend...? Who wants to be friends with a dirty-minded monster like you... I feel nauseated just talking to you..." Melinda's eyes flashed with hatred and she shouted angrily.. .
"Really…? I thought you were the one crying a moment ago so you could talk to me…? This is really weird…" Evan saw her wary of him taking a step forward…
"Stay away from me…" Melinda's expression changed as she saw his advance towards her and she continued to back away with every step he took towards her…
"Looks like you're wrong, this is how I'm leaving…" Evan continued his steps down this long hallway and said…
"Remember you will pay dearly if you find any evidence that you had a hand in Maria's murder..." Melinda pulled to the side and felt her back hit the wall... she said angrily looking at him...
"I appreciate your insistence on finding out the truth, but rest assured that you cannot do anything to me… On the contrary, if you want to ask me, I will be happy to do so… If you are interested in the future, let me know and let's talk in more detail." Evan paused for a moment as he looked at Melinda with utter impatience. He continued his steps with a mysterious smile on his face...
"Disgusting… shameless…" Melinda looked at his rear view as he slowly walked away and muttered angrily, feeling her paradoxical urge to stop him from leaving and feel safe in his departure…
It was a strange feeling... because she knew how weak she was and couldn't defend herself if he wanted to hurt her... the difference in strength between them was clear and huge...
"Damn…" Melinda sighed in relief and took a deep breath after Evan left… She didn't expect his personality to be so twisted and disgusting…
