The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2148

Cedric raised an eyebrow and said, "How dare those people hatch such a devious plot against you when you've Lucas accompanied you to the set? That is utterly disrespectful! I'll pay them a visit with your Grandma and show them what happens if they mess with the Riveras!"

Cedric was becoming more animated as he spoke, to the point where the old lady had to glare at him.

"We don't live in a lawless society, you know. Are you planning on threatening the crew members? Can't you use your brain for once? What were you hoping to achieve by instilling fear? "What's more important is for Melody to win the crew's hearts and have them believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that Melody would never do something like that if it happens again."

Beatrice's reasoning was spot-on, and Melody took the opportunity to tell them about her thoughts. "No one believed me when it happened, and Lucas said that the minority who do will never go against the pressure of the majority. But that's what makes me sad. Haven't I done enough? What else can I do to let them believe me? How else can I convince them that I'm not the sort of person who would do those things?"

The old couple looked at each other and let out a lamenting sigh. Melody's question stemmed from her naivete. It was not a question of whether Melody had done enough. Her journey had been too smooth, from being chosen as the female lead, to Lucas coming to her defense. People did not believe her because they were jealous of her.

Beatrice's only advice to Melody was to ignore what other people thought of her. She placed her finger on Melody's heart and said, "You've done well enough. If you try to please everyone, then people's expectations of you will continue to increase.

"There's no point doing all that. Everyone's working together now, but you'll all go your separate ways once everything's over. There might even be people that you'll never see again for the rest of your life. "It's exhausting to have to please all these people in your life. The most important person in your life is yourself, so you should always do what makes you happy."

Melody covered her hand over her heart after Beatrice retracted her finger. 'I...should make myself happy.'

Beatrice was filled with adoration as she looked at Melody's pensive expression. She placed so much importance on other people that she forgot about placing importance on herself.

"By the way, where did Lucas go? Why didn't he help you deal with this?" Cedric asked. Simply waiting for the police to wrap things up would necessitate a lot of procedures, and it would take a while before they could conclude the investigation.

Melody finally remembered that she had to smooth things over for Lucas' sake.

"Oh, he went back to the company after dinner. Edmund said that something urgent needed his attention!"

The old couple were both unhappy. While other grandparents nagged their grandchildren for lacking ambition, the Riveras' old couple felt that their grandson was too ambitious. That was not what they hoped to

see.

"You should try to persuade Lucas to focus less on work. It'll be good for the two of you to put everything down for a bit and go traveling when you have the time. Cedric and I can't wait to have great- grandchildren!" Beatrice was all smiles when she spoke of her eagerness to see children in the home.

Melody blushed. "Ah... Okay, I'll tell Lucas. We're in no rush to have children!"

Beatrice kept quiet and stroked Melody's hair lovingly.

Meanwhile, at the Western restaurant...

"That'll be all for now." Stella handed the menu to the wait staff before turning to Lucas. "Would you like to add anything else, Lucas?"

Even the wait staff was mesmerized by Lucas despite having seen a fair number of handsome men. Lucas' height was evident even when he was sitting down, making it obvious that his height was about 1.8 meters. With broad shoulders, a firm waist, and an aura that stood out from miles away, he was the archetypical aloof company president.

"What would you like to have today, sir?" the wait staff asked.
