At that moment, a young man carrying a wine glass approached Quinn and asked her if she was alright.With one hand still on her chest, Quinn quickly changed her expression and answered, "I'm fine. Did I startle you?""Not really, but you do seem uncomfortable," he replied.The two engaged in conversation seamlessly, while Beatrice remained hidden in the blind spot, waiting for Thalia to leave before discreetly making her exit."Oh, Claudia, if you want to blame anyone, you should blame them, not me! But I should thank you. The Riveras wouldn't be taking care of me now if it weren't for your sacrifice. Hahahaha!" Thalia chuckled softly, sending shivers down Beatrice's spine.Initially, Beatrice thought Thalia was merely mischievous. However, after hearing the conversation between Thalia and Quinn, she realized that she must send Thalia away as soon as possible. Otherwise, some sort of disaster would befall Lucas if Thalia kept staying by his side!Beatrice resolved to thoroughly i

"I don't know what you're talking about. You promised me that you'd give up on Lucas, so you better keep your word," Beatrice said, pushing past Thalia to leave."Where are you going?" asked Thalia.Beatrice, being older, could not match the speed and strength of Thalia. She stumbled and felt some discomfort in her arm when Thalia pulled her. She had probably sprained her arm."I suggest you don't push your luck! This is my home, so I can go wherever I please. You, a guest, shouldn't act so cocky! Aren't you afraid that I'll call Lucas over?"Thalia did not care if Beatrice called Lucas over. After all, she had nothing to lose anymore. Moreover, they were in a corner where anyone rarely came over.Thus, sometimes living in a mansion also came with its own headache. With such a large mansion the Riveras lived in, Thalia was confident that no one would discover it immediately even if she did something to Beatrice there and then."Call him over if you're confident you can. Why waste

"It's all your fault, you old hag!" Thalia said, growing angrier by the moment. She walked slowly toward Beatrice, causing the elderly woman to retreat and grip the railing cautiously."Fine, it's all my fault. I apologize. But you're still young, what's the point of arguing with an old hag like me? Why not give up on Lucas and find a man who truly loves you?" asked Beatrice.Thalia smirked coldly, then swung her hand forcefully, landing a heavy blow on Beatrice's arm. Beatrice screamed and tumbled down the stairs."Ah!"The whole thing happened so fast, and no one was around in the corner where the dispute occurred. Beatrice watched helplessly as she was pushed down. She let out a scream, unable to grasp onto anything as she tumbled down the stairs.Thalia's hands trembled uncontrollably. "You brought this upon yourself, so don't blame me," she muttered.Blood slowly oozed from Beatrice's head. She blinked her eyes, eventually losing consciousness.Thalia glanced around, confir

Cedric was filled with immense regret, wondering if the tragedy could have been prevented if he had followed Beatrice upstairs. At least then he could have tried to catch her when she fell, preventing her from lying here all alone.At that moment, he thought about many things. Earlier, when discussing matters of life and death with Lucas and Melody, he could still face them with composure. He and Beatrice had already agreed that no matter who left first, the other would follow after arranging everything. However, when everything actually happened, he found himself unable to do it; he could not accept her death."You've always bossed me around, so why aren't you telling me what to do now? Get up and tell me what to do! I just had two drinks with Old Freddy, so why aren't you giving me hell for it?"Cedric's aging face was even more wrinkled. Tears were pooling in his eyes, making him look even more pitiful.Melody stumbled and fell beside Lucas. She looked at the elderly woman in fr

"Grandma is still in the hospital, her condition unknown. We can't just sit around and wait." Melody's words brought Lucas back to reality."You're right. Grandma has always been healthy. She couldn't have fallen down the stairs like that..."Thalia felt an ache in her heart seeing Lucas like this. Despite knowing him for so many years, she had never seen him so worn out like a trapped animal unable to find a way out. She took a few steps forward, wanting to comfort him, but hesitated upon hearing their conversation.In the end, she mustered the courage to cautiously voice her opinion, "Grandma Beatrice is old, and accidents like this can happen. I know it's hard to accept, Lucas, but you should also understand that your grandparents aren't getting any younger."Of course, I'm not saying that an accident couldn't have occurred, but I just want to tell you that even if Grandma Beatrice did fall accidentally, you shouldn't blame yourself too much. They're both at an age where these t

Lucas wanted to refuse Thalia's suggestion. To his surprise, Melody paused for a moment and instead suggested that she and Quinn stay."Just as Thalia said, we need all the help we can get right now to find evidence. We'll also need to take Grandpa's shift at the hospital to look after Grandma after she wakes up. With so much going on at home, it's indeed overwhelming."Even though Beatrice was still lying in the hospital, her condition uncertain, Melody's words calmed Lucas' mind. It was as if telling him that his grandmother would wake up for sure."You're right. After Grandma wakes up, both of us will have to help Grandpa look after her. After all, he's getting old and can't be at the hospital all the time," Lucas said, nodding in agreement.After thinking about it, he looked up and gratefully glanced at Thalia and Quinn. "Thank you for offering your help. We might just really need it later on."Quinn was pleasantly surprised and smiled, waving her hands. "It's already a pleasa

Melody was truly innocent, yet they shamelessly threw dirt on her. They turned her unfortunate family background into labeling her as a jinx!Despite Melody never exploiting her family's situation for publicity, except for that one time she was caught by reporters, she never actively marketed herself with the Riveras. Thus, how could they blame Beatrice's accident on her?Melody's fans were particularly indignant on her behalf, but at that moment, the Internet was abuzz with speculation. It seemed like everyone believed that Melody was somehow cursed. To make matters worse, Wendy reappeared.Wendy's career had plummeted even further after the last incident. Even though she had teamed up with Thalia to set a trap for Melody, sending a large group of reporters to secretly photograph Melody with Lucas, they had not anticipated that more people would see the charming side of the couple.With the news spreading, Wendy felt even more infuriated. There was no way she was going to let the

[It's better to keep the peace and look at the bigger picture. What if Wendy starts spreading lies again and people believe her? Melody will be in trouble then.]Many people sent private messages to this fan, asking her not to provoke Wendy anymore. However, this fan ignored them all. After all, she did not need to do anything for Wendy to be provoked.Wendy had harbored hatred toward Melody for a long time, evident from her words and actions that she had resented her since the day Melody was born.'Oh, how naive those other fans are. Did they really think that crazy Wendy would stop posting harmful content about Melody just because we decided to stop engaging with her?' thought the fan.The fans should have toughened up after going through so much with Melody, but that was obviously not the case. Perhaps it was because of Melody's kind nature that all the fans she attracted were kind too.Even when faced with Wendy, Melody's fans would always take the softer approach instead of a

However, Lucas and Melody knew they could not let their emotions get the better of them. They still had important things to do. They had to shoulder the burden of the family since Beatrice was still in the emergency ward with Cedric accompanying her."I'm worried about Grandma too, you know…" Melody's eyes turned red. She could not bear to say more. She was afraid that she would start crying if she did.She did not want to think about it, but if she had not had that extra glass of wine, Beatrice would not have come upstairs to check on her. None of this would have happened.Originally, Beatrice and Amber were chatting happily. It was her birthday, and it was rare to have so many old friends gathered together. Lucas and Melody had thrown such a grand banquet, hoping Beatrice would be happy, but it ended up with such a tragic outcome.'If I had known this was going to happen, it would've been better for the family to have a quiet dinner together…' thought Melody.However, there was

"What?" Thalia looked up, surprised by Melody's sudden question. Melody seized the opportunity to ask further."Why are you so insistent that Grandma fell by herself? Did you see something you're not telling us?"Thalia quickly changed her demeanor to one of apparent grievance."I didn't see anything. I just think Grandma Beatrice is old, and I know we all don't want this kind of accident to happen, but that's just life. I also know Lucas listens to you now, so whatever I say, you both think it's wrong. I'm fine with that, but it's also precisely because he listens to you that you should advise him. Or do you really want him to keep worrying like this?""Is that so? Is that what you think?" asked Melody.There was no way Melody would be easily fooled by Thalia, given their past history. She had already suspected Thalia, but she could not say anything since she did not have any evidence yet. After all, Thalia might take it as Melody causing trouble for her.Lucas touched Melody's
