Leo, upon receiving Lucas' order to interrogate Wendy, was surprised at how easily it went. As soon as he and his assistant sat opposite Wendy, separated by a railing, she seemed eager to spill everything she knew.

"You work for Mister Lucas, right? I didn't do this. Someone made me do it! At most, I'm an accomplice. I can't go to jail. I have a bright future ahead of me," Wendy exclaimed, visibly agitated. The officers had to push her back into her seat due to her impulsive behavior.

"You were quite cocky before, weren't you? Boasting about not caring about your future and being willing to go down with Melody. Or did we misinterpret what you said?" Leo retorted, referring to Wendy's threats during Melody's kidnapping, which sounded like those of someone who had given up on life. Thus, why would she change her tune?

"I've given it some thought and asked myself why I should take the blame when the culprit is someone else. I was manipulated by someone from start to finish. I'm just a scapegoat! Why should I sit around and wait for my punishment? There's still a chance I might be able to make a comeback, so there's no way I'm going to let myself be thrown into prison!"

Leo pursed his lips. He found what Wendy said nonsensical and devoid of logic. 'She previously took full responsibility for the incident, and now she claimed she was manipulated by someone else? Which part is true, and which is false?'

"Since you claim someone manipulated you, who is that person? Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, everything you're saying is just a waste of breath," Leo demanded.
