Helen felt regret and anger in her heart. 'Why? Why did I let myself be blinded and invest my whole being into such a family? If... If I had treated Melody a bit better, maybe I wouldn't have fallen sick and left uncared for.'Ethan and Wendy avoided Helen like the plague, afraid of catching even a trace of her illness."Me?" Melody breathed a sigh of relief, buoyed by the presence of Lucas waiting outside, which lifted her spirits. "I'm doing fine now, although you might not want to hear that. But ever since leaving the Sanders', every day of my life has been better than before."Helen could discern Melody's state. If she had to pay for her mistakes in the first half of her life, she hoped her only daughter would have a smooth second half. She wished Melody would never return to the Sanders' again.It was a pity she did not have the right or the strength to tell that to Melody anymore. Helen closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face again.Melody sighed. She found the whole

Melody paused. She turned back and asked, "What? What do you want to say?""S… Sor…"Even though Helen could not finish her sentence, Melody could guess what she was trying to say. She just smiled faintly. At that moment, she suddenly found herself able to move on. Whether Helen felt sorry for her mistake no longer mattered.After all, the years of hurt and pain Melody had to endure over the years could not be simply offset by a simple apology."It doesn't matter anymore. It's been so many years. But don't think for a moment that your simple apology holds much weight. I just want to let you know that my life is good now. That's because I've distanced myself from all of you. As for what lies ahead for you, I'll take care of it. After all, you did give me life. As for anything else... Well."Melody did not think she was being cruel at all. She was just speaking the truth. It was precisely because she had found peace that the past no longer cast its shadow over her heart, allowing he

Lucas frowned and stepped in front of Melody. "Have you not learned your lesson from last time? Is that why you dare to appear before us again, shamelessly spreading rumors?"Confronted by the imposing figure of the man, Wendy could not help but tremble. However, the thought of such a fine man willingly acting as Melody's lackey made her feel disgusted."Don't you find it disgusting to be with this woman? She doesn't even care about her own mother, and from what I know, you must have elders in your family too. Aren't you afraid she'll harm your grandparents?"Wendy's words puzzled Melody. She could not understand how Wendy concluded that she was someone who would neglect the elders in the family. However, the depth of Wendy's hatred toward her was evident in her words.Even with Lucas standing in front of her, Melody could not resist firing back, "Miss Wendy, don't you think you're perhaps meddling a bit too much? What does my relationship with the Riveras have anything to do with

As Melody spoke, she could not help but feel a surge of anger, feeling deeply unjust on Helen's behalf. She had hoped that after leaving, the Sanders would be able to live peacefully. However, things did not turn out as expected, and Helen was not living well either.Feeling a bit panicked under Melody's interrogation, Wendy tightened her grip on her phone in her bag. This situation was far from what she had anticipated."W—Who said I haven't visited her? What do you know? I've been taking care of her all these days, you know? This is your first time here, so of course you wouldn't understand the intricacies. We consulted other doctors who said that stroke patients need rest, and here is the best place for that!" Wendy retorted defensively."Huh, if you're here every day taking care of her, then do you know where the caregivers are?" Melody asked casually, baiting Wendy."Where could they be? Of course, they're in her room with us. We even hired a caregiver who works all day specif

When Melody and Lucas exited the hospital, they were once again surrounded by all the reporters. Some curious individuals began to press about who was in the hospital and why Melody had come to visit."Melody, Melody! If it's your family member, why didn't you transfer her to a better hospital? Is it because you're unwilling to spend your money on your own family? There were rumors online that you had severed ties with your family because you had done too many wrong things. Is that true?""Melody! Look at this camera over here! Why are you still unwilling to spend money on your family when you're with a man as wealthy as Mister Lucas? Also, can you tell us why you cut ties with your family?"The questions stabbed straight into Melody's heart, making it hard for her to breathe for a moment. 'What did they mean by saying I'm not willing to spend the money I've earned on my family? Why do they keep on asking me these kinds of questions? Haven't I already clarified everything back then?
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2487
The reporters did not stop to think that if Melody had ulterior motives, how could she have possibly gotten close to Lucas? That would be underestimating him! After all those years of maneuvering in the business world, could he not see through any woman with ill intentions?Perhaps they did not care about facts at all; they just wanted to hear from Lucas' mouth that Melody was pursuing him. They did not care about Melody's dignity at all. It would be enough for them to write news articles if they could get a few words from Lucas. The more information they had, the more traffic they could generate. In this era, the one who could ultimately conquer the world would be the one who had the most traffic.Once the two of them overcame the obstacles and returned to the car, Melody finally sighed in relief. Apart from the chauffeur, there were only the two of them in the car. Thus, she did not bother to hide how upset she was.Compared to Lucas, she was often overlooked for her abilities; pe

Lucas pulled her back onto his shoulder, saying, "Do you remember what I said? I'll never ask you to do anything you don't want to do. Since you don't like the questions those reporters ask, I'll make sure they'll never appear in front of you again."It was not an empty promise. Melody's heart raced as she listened. She knew it was not right to feel this way, but when she was being pressured by the reporters, she had also wished for them to disappear completely.Lucas definitely could do that."Forget it, they also have families to support," said Melody eventually.Lucas sighed and thought, 'She's as naive as ever.'She considered their situation, but did those people ever consider the predicament they put Melody in when they pressured her? They were like flies, buzzing around wherever there was heat. They called themselves reporters, but they had long lost the professional ethics a reporter should have. They were all just slaves to money.In the end, Melody still felt it was wro

Just like with Lucas, who praised her every day and could not help but express his love for her, her fans were the same. They always praised her, making her more and more confident that she was worthy of love as well.Despite having only completed one film so far, it had not been as quiet as she imagined. There had been too many accidents and scandals. Even so, many people silently supported her from the beginning. Melody did not know how to thank them for their sincere and continuous love.Without them, perhaps she would not have been so determined to make her way in the entertainment industry. Their love was also part of her motivation. She would continue to make movies as long as she had her fans. Melody remembered the agreement she made with a few fans which was to always meet regularly."Do you think it's okay for me to go? What if your fans don't like me?"Melody understood Lucas' concern, but this was her first fan meeting, and she naturally wanted him to be there with her.

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
