Melody no longer sought fairness from the Sanders, but she still harbored some resentment for the past. Wendy was so good at pretending to be innocent and pitiful in front of her parents, even though she was the bully.In the meeting room, Melody managed to expose her facade of innocence, reclaiming a bit of justice for her past self, even though it was already too late."Silly girl. Why would I ever think of you like that?" Lucas rested his chin on top of Melody's head, and he sighed with compassion. "I just hope you won't keep these things from me. Tell me if there's anything you want to do. I know you can handle everything on your own, but you're not alone anymore. Sometimes, it's fine to rely on me a little, okay? I want to be needed by you."Lucas' words deeply touched Melody. She had always felt like the one who was not needed, and she had never been chosen so resolutely before. Tears started welling up in her eyes.Lucas cupped Melody's face when he heard her sniffle. "What'

Occasionally, the crew members needed to touch up Melody's makeup or bring her clothes to try on. Lucas had grown accustomed to these routines and did not pay much attention to the activity.…"This outfit isn't as good as the previous one," Monica muttered.It was Melody's final scene. Her outfit had been decided, but Shaun and the others were still deliberating, so Monica voiced her opinion.Melody looked in the mirror and also felt that the outfit she tried on earlier was better."But the previous outfit is in my dressing room..." said Melody.Monica volunteered to fetch the outfit for Melody. "You can just wait here, no need to run around. I don't have any scenes today anyway, so I'll go get them for you."After saying that, Monica did not wait for Melody's response. She patted her arm and then hurried off to Melody's dressing room.Inside the dressing room, Wendy could not help but feel her heart race as she looked at the man resting with his eyes closed. Men as handsome a

Wendy was confident in her sizzling-hot figure. She always believed that there were no men she could not conquer, only those who had not yet realized her worth. Moreover, she had encountered plenty of wealthy and influential investors in the industry, but when compared to Lucas, they all paled in comparison.With his wealth and looks, Lucas surpassed even the most hyped-up actors in the entertainment industry. He would undoubtedly outshine all other male celebrities if he were to enter showbiz. The more Wendy compared, the more infatuated she became.'I wouldn't have to worry about where to get resources anymore if I could get together with Lucas! Just look at Melody. She was able to quickly establish her personal studio by riding on Lucas' coattail. She could still firmly establish herself in the industry even though there was so much hate about her online! All of this was thanks to Lucas' influence,' thought Wendy.Wendy did not ask for much. As long as she could be with Lucas and

"Please! I beg you, Mister Lucas, I... I'm sorry, I really won't do it again. I didn't mean to. I was just confused, my mind was clouded... How could I dare to think of touching you? I promise I won't do it again!" begged Wendy.Unlike Melody, Lucas was not one to change his mind easily. Ignoring Wendy's pleas, he dialed the emergency number.He was actually quite amused at Wendy's desperation. "You brought all of this on yourself. Next time you better consider whether you can handle the consequences before doing something shady!"Wendy knew that begging would not work on Lucas, so she immediately changed her tact. "I'll continue to expose Melody online if you call the police. We've lived under the same roof for so many years after all, you know. What I say will always carry more credibility than others. If you don't want to see your beloved woman tarnished, then stop what you're doing right now!"Lucas paused and scrutinized the woman in front of him; she was indeed much bolder th

Melody had decided to take a break after the filming ended before picking up other roles. She wanted to dedicate some quality time with Beatrice and Cedric, especially since they were getting older.Beatrice was overjoyed to hear that. "Oh, my child, how can I ever find you annoying? You're the most well-behaved child I've ever met. I couldn't be any happier to have you as my granddaughter-in-law!"Cedric was also in a good mood.Melody felt her eyes well up when she saw all the food she liked laid out on the table."I heard from Lucas that you were coming back, so I had Lynette make all your favorite food. You must've been missing home-cooked meals during this time away. Take a look at the grilled spare ribs. Lynette and I picked out the freshest pork ribs in the market to make them. I guarantee you'll enjoy every bite..."Beatrice continued introducing the dishes, and Melody could not help but wonder when the two elderly folks had started planning for this meal. She suddenly fel

"It's quite late, Grandma. You shouldn't drink too much tea, or you'll find it hard to fall asleep," Lucas advised.Beatrice smiled faintly; she was heartened that Lucas learned to care about others after being together with Melody."Don't worry, dear. I'm drinking decaffeinated tea, so I'll be perfectly fine. Plus, I feel so relieved after seeing you two."Lucas raised an eyebrow, a bit puzzled by her words. "What do you mean, Grandma?""Do you think you can hide it from me? It's so obvious the relationship between you two has progressed a step further," replied Beatrice.Lucas became a bit embarrassed. He was already in his twenties, yet he was letting his grandmother worry about his love life. However, it was indeed as Beatrice said—his relationship with Melody was no longer the same as before, especially since the night he confessed his feelings to her.He also felt the distance between them had disappeared, resulting in the two of them having the ability to understand what t

'Oh, so she's worried that I'd be hurt by other people,' thought Lucas. He gently hugged Melody and sighed. "The dressing room is filled with your scent, so that's why I could sleep so soundly there. How about next time you stay by my side and keep a watch over me?"Melody could not help but frown at the thought of Wendy trying to steal a kiss from Lucas. It seemed that Wendy had no intention of giving up on Lucas yet. Well, Melody would definitely make her pay if there was a next time!…Wendy also paid the price for her actions. All the endorsement deals she had secured while riding on the wave of Melody's popularity were canceled. However, she only had herself to blame.Once Melody clarified the situation, everyone realized that Wendy had been lying. The so-called popularity was as fleeting as smoke, dissipating without a trace.After the incident with Lucas, Wendy had locked herself in the room to sulk, refusing to step out. Even when Helen knocked on her door and asked her to

The best thing Shaun had done was to cast Melody in the role of Athena. With Melody starring as the female lead, the movie was bound to succeed."To be honest, it's been years since I've seen such a talented actress, especially one who looks like hers."Shaun took a drag of his cigarette, trying to contain the excitement bubbling up inside him. He could not wait to watch the finished film.Mick shared the same sentiment. Although producers usually prioritize the box office appeal of the main cast in commercial films, this time he was dedicated to making a film that could make a splash in awards season.Melody was simply a gift from above for them!"I refuse to believe that the audience won't be moved by Melody's performance."It was also fortunate that Melody's debut film was 'War Song', allowing her to play the character Athena when she was at her age. Later, this film became a classic even after more than a decade, and Melody's portrayal of Athena earned her the title of 'Every

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
