Stella might not have stated anything explicitly, but her intentions were unmistakably clear. She was subtly hinting to Melody that she should willingly let her and Lucas take the Riveras' car.

Melody could comply, but she could not fathom why Stella never chose to express her intentions directly. Instead, she opted for this indirect approach, which felt far from nice.

Stepping back a few paces, Melody turned to survey the surroundings. They were not really that far from the city center, so there should be a way to leave. Sure enough, she spotted a bus station not far away. She would be able to find her way back home as long as there was a bus.

'I should just let Stella have Lucas' car since she seems so hellbent on taking it,' she thought.

"There's a bus stop over there. I can go home by myself." Melody pointed to the nearby bus stop. "Lucas, you should give Miss Stella a ride to her set since it's so far away."

Stella's expression brightened 'gratefully'. She grabbed her hand and said insincerely, "Melody, thank you so much. I hope you don't mind me calling you Melody. You're really awesome, do you know that?"

"Of course not. Now then, I'll be going." Melody chuckled, withdrew her hand, and walked toward the bus station, completely ignoring Lucas.

Once again, Lucas found himself pushed over to Stella by Melody. 'She seems to have the habit of making decisions for me without bothering to ask what I want,' he thought.

"Let's go, Lucas." Stella was particularly happy at having gotten rid of Melody. She reached out to link arms with Lucas.

Lucas stared coldly at Melody's back. 'Since she doesn't care about me, I won't care about her either.'

"Let's go." Lucas avoided Stella's hand, but let her get in the car nonetheless.

Stella smiled triumphantly as she followed Lucas to the car. However, after she got into the car, Lucas remained standing outside the door.

She turned to look at him and asked, "Lucas? Why aren't you getting into the car?" sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"The driver will take you back to the set. I have some other things to attend to."

After saying this, Lucas signaled the driver and shut the door.

"Lucas, you..." Stella wanted to argue, but the driver had driven away.

Stella's face darkened when she saw Lucas walk toward the bus stop through the window. The anger in her heart erupted like a volcano.

'I can't believe he'd rather take the bus than take his own car with me so that he could stay with that b*tch! He was born with a silver spoon! When has he ever taken the bus before?!' Stella grew increasingly livid, and her hands involuntarily clenched into fists.

After seeing off Stella, Lucas headed toward the bus station. Afraid that Melody might take the bus and leave, he unconsciously quickened his pace.

"Lucas?!" It would be an understatement to say that Melody was shocked to see Lucas at the bus stop. "What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to leave with Stella?"

Lucas looked out of place in the crowd since he was sharply dressed in a suit.

"The driver is taking her to her set as we speak," he answered coldly.
