Melody smiled shyly. "Yes, Grandma. We called mainly to reassure you. Lucas said he didn't have much to do at his company this morning, so he's here with me. He'll go to work in the afternoon."Beatrice, relieved to hear that Lucas was with Melody, said, "No need to rush! Let Lucas spend more time with you. His employees will take care of the work. You two haven't spent time together for quite some time. This is a rare opportunity.""Um..."Lucas suddenly took the phone from Melody's hand."Grandma, is there a reason for you to be at the company today? Is Grandpa there with you?" asked Lucas.Melody leaned in to listen as well. Beatrice and Cedric had long since taken a back seat, and they usually did not go to the office unless necessary.Melody was worried that Beatrice might be running around for her sake. However, Beatrice was reluctant to say anything that would worry them."What? Can't I come to the company unless there's something? You two don't need to worry about me sin

Chapter 2432

To Helen, family matters should not be aired in public. Even though Melody had indeed done a lot of wrong things over the years, spreading it online would bring disgrace to the family.Helen originally did not pay attention to that news, but it was when Wendy mentioned Melody when she came back home last time that she thought of taking a look. She had not found the time to go to Melody's place to complete the task Wendy entrusted to her.At that moment, Helen sat restlessly at home."I'm back," Wendy kicked her shoes haphazardly to the side as soon as she entered the house. She collapsed onto the couch, and Helen immediately approached, standing beside her with a look that indicated she had something to say."Wendy, I happen to have something I want to ask you," Helen said.Wendy rolled her eyes inwardly, but she maintained a neutral expression on her face. She shifted slightly, still lying on the couch, and did not bother to sit up to look at Helen."Just ask me whatever you wan

Wendy was getting impatient, but she managed to conceal it well. She leaned over and hugged Helen."Helen, please don't be angry. I was just frustrated and said those words in the heat of the moment. Don't take it to heart. How could I not feel your kindness toward me? I'm not heartless. It's just that Melody's actions have caused me so much trouble in the past."I've had over ten jobs canceled because of her. How could I not feel angry about that? Now that I've finally landed a few endorsements again, shouldn't you be happy for me instead?"Helen sighed. "Of course I'm happy for you. It's just that Melody is also my daughter. Seeing everyone criticize her doesn't sit well with me."However, Wendy did not care. She pressed on, "Helen, about the tasks I assigned you the other day, please remember to do them! Don't disappoint me, okay?"Helen grasped Wendy's arm somewhat frantically. "Wendy, now that you're getting booked for jobs again, do you still want me to go find Melody?"Wen

"It's bad that you've moved out, but you're now airing our family's dirty laundry online too? Do you know how furious your father will be when he sees that?! Are you trying to kill me?" Helen exclaimed.Melody frowned. 'What does she mean, airing their family's dirty laundry online? Wasn't the gossip online about me and Thalia?'Melody gestured for Lucas to bring the phone from the table over to her."You do know the reason I moved out was because of how you guys treated me, right? Am I the only one at fault here? You can't just dump all your anger on me because you're afraid of your husband getting mad. I'm not your punching bag."This was a realization that Melody came to much later.In that household, Helen had to endure pressure from both Ethan and Wendy. She did not have any other choice but to transfer her own pressure onto her only controllable daughter. As the sole punching bag, she naturally bore all the burdens.Melody became the scapegoat that kept their family harmony

It was enough to see how despicable Melody's family was."Alright, it's all in the past now. It's all over," Lucas comforted her gently.Melody, gripping the fabric of Lucas' shirt, was in great anguish. "It's never over! I've moved out, so why do they still want to hurt me like this? Why has my own mother never believed in me? Did she ever consider how I would feel when her stepdaughter smeared me online?"Melody was also an actress. Previously, her online reputation was in shambles, and Wendy pushed her to the brink, leaving her with no chance of redemption.Helen, as Melody's biological mother, never once considered what kind of situation her daughter was facing.'Ha, she knew but simply didn't care. She doesn't even see me as her daughter!' thought Melody.Lucas sighed inwardly. Not all parents were qualified to be parents. It was just too easy to become parents, which was why there were so many unfit parents and unhappy children."It's not your fault. It's their fault for m

Melody could not even see where her future lay, but in that moment, she only knew she had to leave the family that always ensnared her, making it impossible for her to break free. That family was like a swamp that trapped Melody deep within. Without a ruthless break, she feared she would be bound forever.It was painfully clear to her that her parents, unlike others, could not provide her with the support she needed, which added to Melody's distress. She had wondered more than once if it was because of her shortcomings that Helen and Ethan treated her this way. Still, why were they so kind to Wendy, even though she was a girl as well? Not to mention, Wendy was not even Helen's biological daughter.After all these years, Melody could not help but doubt herself. "I thought that if I fulfilled all their wishes and demands, they'd love me like they love Wendy. In the end, I was just deluding myself. No matter how hard I try, they won't ever love me."With a heart full of pity, Lucas gen

Lucas pondered for a moment before saying, "Since this matter is almost wrapped up, could you do me a favor?"Leo was somewhat surprised. Lucas had never asked his employees to do things privately outside of work. He was curious about what task Lucas would assign to him.However, to his surprise, it was once again related to Melody. It seemed that Melody was truly Lucas' beloved."I won't let you guys work in vain. Help me find out how Wendy got out. Remember, keep everything that has to do with the Sanders on the down low, and let me deal with them directly."Lucas was worried that making too much noise about this matter would alert the Sander family before he could strike. Moreover, if Beatrice found out about these things, she would go over to the Sanders' residence and cause a scene, which would not be good for Melody.After hanging up the phone, Lucas stood on the balcony for a while before going back to Melody's side. Seeing Melody frowning even in her sleep, he felt his hea

"Even if the Sander family isn't as prosperous as before, it's still not something a woman from a lowly background like you can aspire to. If it weren't for you seducing me, how could I have ended up with someone like you? Don't take advantage of the situation and act innocent."At your age, I'm already being generous by not making you go out and work for a few measly dollars. Do you think it's easy for me to work outside all day, drinking and doing business with others? Don't force me to punish you. You're just a stay-at-home mother, but you're more than welcome to go work outside if you want! I'm not going to stop you, so you better watch what you say!"Helen, her face streaked with tears from her husband's mockery, replied emotionally, "You heartless man. Do you not remember the state of the Sander family when I married you? How can you say I seduced you into marrying me? Can you justify saying these things in light of the vows you made to me back then? Were all those promises jus

"You're the least qualified person in this house to say that to me. If you can't stand me, then don't eat. I cooked everything here on this table, so who are you to tell me not to eat?""You're a joke. I'm the one who paid for everything you're eating, wearing, and using. Do you think you could enjoy this kind of wealthy lifestyle if it weren't for me?"Helen's eyes turned red. "Do you really think being your wife is such a joy? Ethan, you're just too full of yourself."Smack!Ethan could not hold back his anger any longer and slapped Helen across the face, causing her to wince in pain. The force of the impact was so big that her face was turned to the side.She touched her cheek incredulously. After all these years, he had never laid a hand on her. Did that mean he was fed up with her already?"You hit me… You actually hit me. When you proposed to me, Ethan, you said you'd always be good to me. Turns out it was all lies... I can't believe I trusted you so much. In the end, it wa

Melody smiled softly. "I'm glad I could help everyone."Although some people were simply taking advantage of Melody's guidance, where there was one, there was usually another. Through these interactions, people began to get to know Melody more, and they discovered that her aloof appearance did not match her true nature at all.Many people's impressions of Melody changed subtly over time, and she found solace in being treated kindly by others. As for what Shaun said about 'taking advantage' or anything like that, she could not care less. She enjoyed acting as well as other aspects of filmmaking.She might have considered working behind the scenes if it were not for her greater passion for the big screen. Bringing stories to life through live-action filming and then projecting them onto the big screen involved every aspect from acting to directing, and each person played a crucial role in shaping the final presentation of the film. Just like a screw on an assembly line, it took everyo
