Having thought it over, Lucas decided it was better to wait until the evidence was directly before her eyes before revealing the truth. The image of Melody's expression appeared in Lucas' mind, which elicited a smirk as he sped up his driving.Lucas merely glanced at the phone on the passenger seat. Her deceitful words had cast doubt on everything that came out of her mouth, and he felt that there was no need to engage with her any longer when he already had the evidence at hand.…"Ugh!" Stella gripped the phone tightly, and her veins were almost throbbing as she threw it forcefully onto the sofa."Go to hell! All of you! Go to hell!"Lucas had refused her advances even when Stella had already done all that she could to bring him into the bedroom! Melody had to be causing trouble again. That was the only explanation for Lucas' abrupt departure!Her gaze shifted to his suit jacket on the sofa, which he had forgotten to take with him. A nasty plan hatched in her mind.[Is Lucas h

Lucas parked the car at the entrance and handed the keys over to the housekeeper. He swiftly entered the living room with an eager look as he wondered what sort of expression Melody would have upon hearing the news of the evidence he had uncovered."Took you long enough at the office. Why did you leave Melody at home?" Beatrice asked. She had been waiting for him on the sofa."You've both just started your married journey together, and this is the best time to nurture your relationship. How do you think she's going to feel when you leave her at home all the time? Your grandfather and I treat Melody well, but we can never be as close as you are to her. I want you to take better care of Melody's feelings in the future."Lucas nodded. "Yes. I understand where you're coming from. I'll be more attentive."Cedric placed his newspaper down and approached his grandson. "Understanding isn't enough. You must demonstrate it through your actions. The company demands your attention, but you don

A frown unfolded across Lucas' face.Melody observed Lucas' innocent expression. He seemed to be so confident and ready to share the details of his time with Stella that Melody could not help but burst into laughter."Are you crazy? I don't want to know those things you did! You have your life, and I have mine. I'm not just going to wait for you and listen to all those nasty things you did. I don't want my emotions to be constantly affected by your actions."Though her voice trembled, Melody spoke with determination and intended to draw a clear line with her statement. Lucas, however, seemed confused and unable to comprehend the sudden change in her demeanor."What's with all this 'my life, your life' thing? Have you forgotten the contract you signed with me?" Lucas' voice carried a tinge of expectation. He had spent hours putting on an act with Stella and expected to return home to share the joy with Melody. Instead, he found her in a temper, and he was clueless about what had tra

Lucas got even more annoyed when Melody did not refute his words at all. She really thought he went out fooling around."Huh! Is that what you think of me? Melody, you really have a vivid imagination."He went to all the trouble to gather evidence for her, but in the end, she still thought he was fooling around. Anyone would be upset at being falsely accused like that."I have nothing to say if you insist on thinking like that!"Melody did not understand why Lucas could pretend to be so innocent.'He clearly went on a date with Stella. Heck, he even went to her house, yet here he is, talking to me as if nothing had happened. Why can't I be as indifferent as him?' thought Melody.Lucas, seeing that she did not seem interested in having a proper conversation, became even more infuriated.He yanked off his tie and threw it on the ground, then turned and headed to the study."I'm sleeping in the study tonight!"He was so angry that he did not even want to see Melody. Confronting h

Melody was just about to nod, as it would be nice to take a relaxing stroll in the garden, when she unexpectedly received a call from the film crew."Hello, is this Miss Melody?""Hello, yes. This is she.""I'm calling in regards to what happened with the crew yesterday. There have been some developments. We need you to come to the set to help with the investigation!"Melody did not expect there would be progress so quickly but immediately agreed to go.After Melody hung up the phone, Beatrice looked at her with a worried expression. "Melody, do you really have to go to the set so soon? It might not be the best time to go now."Melody understood what Beatrice was concerned about, and it was enough for her to know that someone cared about her.She affectionately linked arms with the elderly lady and reassured her, "Grandma, don't worry! We're in a society governed by rules and laws, and the police are handling the case. It won't be that easy for them to frame me."Besides, they

Melody's gaze turned cold as she saw Stella approaching.After Stella removed her sunglasses, she moved in to try and hold Melody's hands. However, Melody anticipated her move and subtly sidestepped. Stella missed her target, lunging forward and nearly twisting her ankle, especially with her high heels making her balance precarious."Ah!" Stella exclaimed in surprise and pain.Suddenly, all the crew members gathered around, looking at Stella with concern. Their gaze toward Melody, however, carried a hint of reproach."Miss Stella, are you okay? Did you twist your ankle? Seems like our crew is cursed with foot injuries. First, Miss Tracy got her foot pricked by a thumbtack, and now Miss Stella almost twisted her ankle!""Hmph. I've said it before that someone here has it in for the other actresses! It's best to quickly replace the female lead, or it'll be one mishap after another. Did you not see how ungrateful she is? Miss Stella was genuinely concerned for her, but she moved asid
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2159
Everyone pitied Stella even more when they saw her eyes reddened.Melody was unimpressed. She simply watched Stella and found it nothing but ironic."That Melody is truly ungrateful and a bad friend! Poor Miss Stella. Even she has times when she misjudges people. Honestly, how could she be friends with someone like Melody?" said someone from the crew.The others could not help but express their sympathy as well.Melody felt nothing but annoyance at their words."I expected nothing less of you, Miss Stella. You're always ready to perform, whether in front of the camera or in everyday life. What an impressive acting skill!" said Melody with a smirk. She looked mockingly at Stella, who unconsciously avoided her gaze.Stella did not dare to meet Melody's eyes as she felt guilty and feared revealing her nervousness."Melody, I know you might be feeling overwhelmed right now, and that's why you're speaking without thinking, but you need to stay calm and not say things impulsively. You

'Well, it's Melody's fault for not investing in social relationships. Ultimately, it's because she lacks social skills. She doesn't possess the most basic qualities that the wives of the wealthy have. So what gives her the right to be Lucas' wife?' thought Stella.The more Melody appeared indifferent, the more pitiable Stella seemed.Melody found Stella's teary-eyed act extremely irritating, but unfortunately, everyone else seemed to be falling for it."I have nothing to say if you all insist on blaming me for this. There's no need to explain to those who don't believe me! The truth will come to light once Mister Shaun is here with the latest developments!"Melody's refusal to apologize made others think she was being stubborn, and the dislike from the other crew members intensified.'Where does she get the confidence to act like this? We all saw the surveillance footage! Who else wearing the same clothes is there apart from her?' they thought."Melody, stop talking. The surveill

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded

"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
