The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2157

Melody was just about to nod, as it would be nice to take a relaxing stroll in the garden, when she unexpectedly received a call from the film crew.

"Hello, is this Miss Melody?"

"Hello, yes. This is she."

"I'm calling in regards to what happened with the crew yesterday. There have been some developments. We need you to come to the set to help with the investigation!" Melody did not expect there would be progress so quickly but immediately agreed to go.

After Melody hung up the phone, Beatrice looked at her with a worried expression. "Melody, do you really have to go to the set so soon? It might not be the best time to go now." Melody understood what Beatrice was concerned about, and it was enough for her to know that someone cared about her.

She affectionately linked arms with the elderly lady and reassured her, "Grandma, don't worry! We're in a society governed by rules and laws, and the police are handling the case. It won't be that easy for them to frame me.

"Besides, they asked me to go because there have been developments. I wouldn't go if there was no progress. You should go take that stroll in the garden with Grandpa. I'll excuse myself this time, but I'll spend time with you tomorrow!"

Beatrice was relieved that Melody seemed to have cheered up a little bit. She patted her hand. "My poor child, you've certainly been through a lot. Go take care of your matters. There are plenty of people at home, so you don't need to worry about Grandpa and me."

Melody nodded emphatically.

'If things go smoothly, I'll no longer have to endure the feeling of being alienated and mistrusted by everyone,' she thought.

She hated the feeling of not being believed by anyone.

When Melody arrived at the set in the car provided by the Riveras, she noticed that Shaun had not arrived yet. She had not interacted much with the present staff, and she knew that not many of them believed her. Thus, she decided to stay in the car for the time being.

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to close the car door, a pair of rough hands stopped her.

"Hey, look who's here! Melody has arrived!"

At the call of this person, other crew members gathered around, leaving Melody with no choice but to get out of the car.

"Hey, isn't this our big-shot actress? You've got some nerves to come back to the set. If I were the culprit, I'd be feeling guilty as hell and be too embarrassed to show up," said a woman with glasses sarcastically.

Another woman immediately joined in, saying, "That's why you can never be a villain. You lack the psychology for it. People like her don't think they've done anything wrong. Heck, they might even be excited about the pain and suffering they've caused.

"Tsk, tsk! Just the thought of working with someone like that gives me goosebumps all over my body! Yesterday, she couldn't stand Miss Tracy. Who's to say next time it won't be me?"

As she spoke, the woman even rubbed her own arms as if genuinely scared by Melody.

Seeing them all singing the same tune, Melody could not help but scoff and utter, "Ignorant fools."

What did it matter what this group of people said or thought? As long as she could prove her innocence later, she could completely ignore what they said. She was hoping for Shaun to bring evidence that could prove her innocence.

However, before Shaun arrived, she unexpectedly saw Stella strutted up to her with a triumphant and confident air.

"I must say, it's hard not to believe in auras? Just look at how Miss Stella is glowing! Compared to Melody, it's like night and day. I really don't understand what those people see in Melody! How could they say she's the most pure actress?"

"Yeah, isn't this whole pure thing just an excuse for those who can't act to save their life? The ones carrying the box office are still professional actresses like Miss Stella!"

They marveled and praised Stella's remarkable achievements again.
