Melanie: Can you believe this rumor? It's everywhere! Why won't people mind their own business?
Alright, Mel. But remember, once you're in this deep, there's no turning back. You ready to pay the price for this stunt?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Price? Honey, I've been paying prices all my life. This is just another chapter in the Melanie story.
Well, chapter or not, Mel, I'm stuck with you. Just...be careful.
throws her head back and laughs Careful? Stranger, careful is for amateurs. I thrive in the chaos, revel in the madness.
Damn, Mel. You're a live wire, aren't ya? Just promise me you won't burn down the house while we're at it.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Burn down the house? Darling, why settle for just burning down the house when we can set the entire city ablaze?
snickers City-wide chaos, huh? You're really pushing it, Mel. But hey, who am I to question your master plan?
smirking, leans in closer Question me? Sweetheart, questioning is a futile endeavor. But I'll give you a hint, Stranger.
A hint? What's the hint, Mel?
smirking The hint, my dear Stranger, is this: they will remember you. They'll remember the fire you ignited. And when the dust settles...
leans in closer The dust settles? What's going to happen when it does, Mel?
leans in even closer, whispering When the dust settles, Stranger, they'll be begging for mercy. But it won't be enough.
smirks Begging for mercy? That's quite a ambition, Mel. But...what's the plan?
As the scandal spirals out of control, Melanie faces severe backlash and loses her influence and reputation
smirks Reputations are funny things, ain't they, Mel? One minute you're on top of the world, the next you're fighting to redeem yourself.
throws her head back and laughs Oh, Stranger, you have no idea. Reputations are like delicate china plates—easy to knock over and impossible to put back together perfectly.
So, what's next for you, Mel? Redemption? Revenge? Or something else?
leans in closer, voice low and determined Oh, Stranger, redemption and revenge go hand in hand.
laughs Redemption and revenge, huh? Quite the power couple. Alright, Mel, I'm game. What's the first step?
stands up abruptly First step? Honey, there are a thousand steps, each one more calculated than the last. But let me give you a sneak peek, Stranger.
A sneak peek, huh? What's the first move then, Mel?
smirks First move? How about we start by exposing the real traitors behind this mess?
Traitors, huh? Spill the tea, Mel. Who's the rat behind all this?
pulls out a folder filled with documents and photographs Ah, Stranger, you won't believe it.
