"Anyone would have suspected you're somehow involved in the incident from the way you were speaking! There's no one here apart from me, so Thalia, answer me, do you or do you not have anything to do with Grandma Beatrice's fall? How did she suddenly fall down the stairs? Did you push her?"Thalia's expression changed drastically. She glared at Quinn and exclaimed, "Quinn, have you lost your mind? Even if I did something wrong to my sister back then, that's in the past! Do you really think every accident in this world has something to do with me? Why would I push Grandma Beatrice? She's Lucas' grandmother, and I wanted nothing more than to please her. Haven't you seen me being all submissive towards her?"As she spoke, her eyes gradually reddened and welled up with tears, making her look extremely pitiful."I know I've done things in the past that hurt my loved ones. You don't understand me, and I'm not willing to talk about it with anyone else. But can you please stop thinking of me

Cedric did not register Lucas and Melody's responses at all after asking them the question. He just kept staring at the words 'Surgery in Progress' above the operating room door, not knowing when the light would finally go out.Lucas gripped Cedric's hand tightly, his fingers slightly trembling.

Her heart tightened even more when she observed Lucas and Cedric with growing concern.The Riveras would face its biggest challenge yet if Beatrice passed away.

"Come on, Grandpa. I know you might not have much of an appetite right now, but Grandma will need someone to take care of her when she wakes up. Just eat a little," Melody said gently. "And Lucas, you too. Don't just sit there. Come and eat something. Now is the time Grandma needs us the most, so we can't afford to fall sick too! Only when we're healthy can we have the energy to take care of Grandma."Melody flashed a faint smile. One might think she had regained her composure if it were not for her swollen eyelids and red eyes."Melody's right. Lucas. Don't just stand there. Your grandmother is out of danger now. It's just a matter of time before she wakes up. Come and have a little something to eat," said Cedric.Melody knew it was a bit of a stretch for everyone as none of them had much of an appetite. She herself could not taste anything. However, it had been such a long time since they had eaten properly. She and Lucas might manage, but Cedric would not be able to withstand it.

Understanding something was one thing, but seeing Melody act on it was another. Lucas realized that they were inseparable. At that moment, he was certain that he had gained another person in his life who loved him so deeply."I'm fine with the arrangement, but won't you feel rushed in your work?" asked Lucas.Melody smiled and shook her head. "It won't be too rushed. I have a feeling that Grandma will wake up very soon. She loves you so much, so she wouldn't bear to see you sad."Melody's words acted as a powerful confidence boost; even Lucas felt certain that Beatrice would wake up soon.He drove Melody to the dance studio. "Let me know when you're done here, and I'll come to pick you up. Don't go back on your own, okay?"Despite the lack of evidence proving that Beatrice was pushed, Lucas remained deeply concerned about her. After the previous accidents in their family, he would not allow such a thing to happen again.After Melody agreed, he headed to his company. The news abou

"Never mind, you wouldn't get it," Leo said, patting Edmund's shoulder.Since he accepted the task, he would complete it well. He was already familiar with these chronically online folks, and it seemed that the example of Tasha Lynch had not deterred them enough. He did not mind using even stronger methods to show others the consequences of slandering Melody online.As Melody pushed open the door to the dance studio, she sensed that something was amiss with the atmosphere. Her teacher was leading her to the innermost room for their practice, which meant she would pass by other rooms. Usually, other students would warmly greet her, yet although some still greeted her that day, she felt their gazes were more scrutinizing than usual.That made Melody particularly uncomfortable, especially when she noticed that after scrutinizing her, they would gather and whisper among themselves. She could not understand how she had become the subject of gossip once again.Melody rubbed her arms unea

'Even now, Wendy can't stand to see me live a peaceful life even for a moment. She still wants to publicly spread those things about me online. I've long cut ties with the Sanders, so how could she still be so shameless?!' thought Melody.Out loud, she said, "Sorry, but Wendy isn't my sister. You've got the wrong person."Melody felt there was no need to explain Carmen anymore as it seemed like she was determined to use the online rumors to ostracize her. Besides, she would not be coming back to the dance studio anyway."Hey, what's with your attitude? So others aren't even allowed to point out your mistakes? No wonder your parents don't even like you. I don't understand how someone like Mister Lucas could fancy you. What tricks did you use?"While Carmen had a domineering personality and many students in the dance studio also disliked her, her words still struck a chord with everyone. What made Melody better than them? Why would such an outstanding man like Lucas Rivera of Rivera

"Don't accuse others falsely. We're talking about you here! Who cares if Mister Lucas is your husband?"Unfortunately, Carmen's words lacked credibility, and everyone noticed it. Every time Lucas appeared, her eyes would follow his every move. There had been several occasions where even the teacher had to remind her not to be too obvious about it.After all, Lucas was Melody's husband, and they were a legitimate couple. No matter how much a woman liked a married man, the woman should consider the feelings of the married man's wife.Carmen certainly knew what everyone was implying, and she knew they were probably mocking her behind her back, but so what? She dared to guarantee that every female student in the dance studio had fantasized about being with Lucas. She was just more obvious about it."There's no use denying it since you might just as well have your thoughts spoken out loud! But you know what? Let's put that aside for now. What I want to know is what have I done to you to

With so much to do at home, Melody did not have time to continue wasting with them. She would let her lawyer handle it if they refused to come to their senses. After all, they were just acquaintances to her, not particularly important friends. They might never see each other again after Melody left the dance studio. What they thought had nothing to do with her.At that moment, the teacher hurriedly emerged from the innermost classroom. "There you are, Melody. I was wondering why you haven't arrived yet after contacting me earlier. I see you're being held up by the other students."The teacher stood in front of Melody and turned to warn the other students, "You're all students of the dance studio, I warn you not to speak recklessly outside. Especially you, Carmen. You don't get to have everything you want, do you understand? You're all adults and should know what to do and what not to do. Instead of wasting your time like this, you should learn from Melody how to perfect your dance mo

Competing against someone who had trained for years was not a wise move for Melody. Even if she intended to use winning the competition to suppress them, it seemed a bit reckless.Dancing was Carmen's forte, and she arrogantly lifted her chin. "Let's use last week's dance routine. That way, you can't say I'm bullying you. We both do the dance at the same time, and everyone can judge for themselves who's the better dancer. It won't take much of your time, so what do you think, Miss Big Movie Star?"Melody nodded and began to warm up. She was already familiar with the dance she did the previous week. Since Carmen was not convinced, she was determined to dance until Carmen acknowledged her skill.The praises from various teachers echoed in her mind. She wondered what others' reactions would be when they saw her dance.Before the competition started, Melody told the teacher to ask Lucas not to worry as she might be home late that day."You don't have to take on this challenge. You kno

Someone would surely be secretly recording the dance off, and once it was uploaded online, it would likely cause another uproar. It would be fine if Melody won, but if she loses, then her reputation would be…The teacher was deeply worried, but Melody seemed oblivious."Come on, Carmen!"The other students were cheering for Carmen, and she proudly raised her head. "You can save yourself from humiliation if you admit defeat now, but once the competition starts, you won't be able to back out."Melody smiled nonchalantly. "It's still too early to say who'll win for sure, so how can you be so sure you'll win?"Carmen leaned in close, taunting in a low voice, "I might not win against you when it comes to men, but I'll definitely beat you in dancing. Whether it's dancing or your man, I'll take them one by one. Just you wait."Although Melody's expression did not change much, the teacher could keenly sense that she was getting angry. Even the smile on her face was not as gentle as usual
