The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2390
In the past, despite many crew members not believing Melody and taking Tracy's side, Melody never doubted herself. All she loved to do was act. Since she chose to be an actress, she would do her job to the best of her abilities.However, at that moment, she found herself questioning herself. Monica could sense Melody's cautiousness when she asked it, which only added to her distress.[Melody, how could you think of something like that? Seriously, your acting alone makes Mister Shaun and the others swoon. How could anyone truly dislike you? Do you realize that you shine whenever you perform? Let me tell you this: after watching your performance, there's no way anyone could dislike you. You can trust me on this.][You just said it yourself, it's the performer in me that they like. But the fact remains that as a person, I'm still quite unlikable,] replied Melody with a sigh.Monica, worried, called her immediately. However, Melody still remained gloomy."Why are you thinking about al

However, she did not want to contact the man this time. She hugged her knees and curled up in bed.The mocking remarks in the comments section echoed in her mind.Did she not deserve the trust?She had a naturally unapproachable face, but would she be harming other people just because of that?Melody felt aggrieved.Melody's fans flooded the screen because of this incident.[To be honest, do you think this matter has anything to do with Melody?] asked a fan who had changed his avatar.[What do you mean? Do you not believe Melody? If you do not believe her, then there is no need for you to stay in the group any longer.][I am a fan of hers. I've met her, and I know what a gentle person she is, so I can't trust these people!][No need for you to be so aggressive. There are multiple negative news about Melody. The fans are also human, and it's normal to feel that something is off, right?]Many people supported this statement.Some people in the group began to sarcastically say,
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2392
Melody was most worried about what her fans would think about her, but it was understandable if they did not believe her. After all, how could a rookie actor be involved in so much negative news? There was also no relevant evidence at all.Melody would no doubt feel guilty if they chose to believe her at this point. She did not know how to repay their faith.What happened to her was bad enough, but there was a group of people she had never met before who truly believed in her.Melody sighed silently, but a phone call broke the calm.She picked up the phone and realized it was Lucas. Why was he calling her at this point?The call was answered, but none of them spoke.Melody could not figure out why he called her, while Lucas did not know how to start the conversation.He was traumatized when he saw Thalia tumbling, so he subconsciously made unscrupulous remarks to Melody.However, after calming down, he felt it in his guts that Melody was not the kind of person who would do such
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2393
Lucas lost his patience upon hearing Melody's irritated response. "What you and Thalia said that day were completely different. I believe you, in front of so many people, but I'll have to wait until you find evidence before you can give everyone an explanation.""I only have one thing to say, I did not touch her at all that day!"To Lucas, Melody's attitude meant that there was no way to communicate.He did not want to continue arguing with Melody. No matter what he said, it would be meaningless.Melody felt even worse seeing him persistently speaking up for Thalia.Neither of them said another word for the rest of the journey.…Knowing that they were coming home, Beatrice and Cedric waited at the door in advance. She was overjoyed to see Melody coming back.However, it seemed there was tension between Lucas and Melody. The expressions on their faces were cold, and they did not even make eye contact.Beatrice and Cedric looked at each other, and it seemed that they had to tel

However, Beatrice never thought Lucas, her own grandson, would doubt Melody."Let me ask you. Did you see what happened in the bathroom that night?"Beatrice's attitude was obvious. Lucas stayed silent for a while before replying, "No.""Then how are you so sure that someone pushed Thalia down?"Yes, it seems that the woman is indeed injured now, but it is also possible that she did this to herself. You've been with her for so many years, so why haven't you seen her true colors yet?"Lucas raised his head disapprovingly, "Grandma, you cannot think that Thalia is a bad person just because of your prejudice against her. Maybe she was indeed wrong about some things, but no one is perfect, and it isn't as serious as you said. It is precisely because I have known her for so many years that I know her as a person."You also do not know that Melody and I—"Lucas was so angry that he almost blurted out about the contract between the two of them.Melody looked at him in shock, and Lucas

"Do you think I'd sleep with other women behind your back?"Not only did Lucas find this incident embarrassing, but he also found Melody's attitude frustrating. Did none of his actions matter to her?Was she not even jealous or saddened when she saw supposed intimate photos of him with other women? What even was their relationship?Has this woman ever had any feelings for him?Melody was surprised by Lucas' attitude."You took these photos with another woman. I didn't force you to take them. You should be the one explaining yourself!"Lucas restrained his inadvertent vulnerability and straightened himself arrogantly. "It seems you have no feelings for me at all; that's why you feel nothing."Beatrice never expected that the two people would start arguing before she finished her explanation, and she stopped them."Stop! Can't you guys hear me out?"Lucas, do you not have any doubts at all about this? How could you have taken and sent intimate photos like that when you're cluele
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2396
Still, Lucas should have actively avoided upsetting Melody since he cared a great deal about her. Why could he not understand such a simple rule?"I'm not doubting you two, but Grandma, we need evidence for everything…"Beatrice sighed again. "We knew you were a stubborn person. Do you still remember that your milk wasn't delivered to you by Lynette that day, but by Thalia? She added sleeping pills to that glass of milk. Otherwise, why would you have slept on the sofa in the study?"Beatrice was serious about what she meant.Lucas was silent, and he understood.Ever since Melody left, he did not want to be in their room alone.However, he still had to go back because the bed still smelled of Melody."I understand. I'll investigate this matter and resolve it."Lucas clenched his fists. He knew Thalia harbored deeper feelings for him. However, even if there was ever a possibility between the two of them, it was all in the past.He only felt unable to let go and had a sense of re

"You don't know how shady this industry can get. I've been through a lot and know how to handle it most efficiently. Just leave this matter to me, okay?" said Beatrice.Melody's eyes became moist. She never had warmth and support, but both Cedric and Beatrice gave it to her unconditionally.Melody hesitated and finally asked, "Grandma, Grandpa, you never suspect that I pushed Miss Garcia down?"The answers given by Beatrice and Cedric slapped Lucas hard in the face."Silly girl! We've been through and seen enough. Of course we knew who did it! You're probably still clueless about this matter, right?"This was just between you and Thalia but why would someone have overheard your fight coincidentally and posted the part that's disadvantageous to you online?"Melody had never thought before that someone would deliberately frame her. Hearing what Cedric said, however, made her feel something was indeed off about the matter."You feel something is wrong too, right? Although you have

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
