The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2249

Melody and Lucas' acquaintance, encounter, and cohabitation all stemmed from the foundation of a false marriage contract. A foundation built on falsehood, no matter how well-adorned with beautiful vows, could only ever be a deception.

Patty perceived it as being the unconscious blossoming of genuine love between the two. Even two strangers who lived together as roommates might begin to develop some feelings over time.

That night, Lucas held Melody's hand tenderly and remained by her bedside throughout the night. He woke up early the next morning and ensured that Melody's body temperature was normal before leaving the hospital.

Numerous tasks awaited him. Before Melody returned to the crew, he needed to identify the suspect and eliminate all potential risks.

Shortly after Lucas arrived on set, Monica showed up in a panic. The director tried to calm her and encourage dialogue, but Monica burst into tears and left the director at a loss for words. "Ugh-" There was a hint of impatience in Lucas' eyes, and he wondered why she would just burst out in tears in front of them.

The director sought to console her as he felt that he would receive more of a headache if things did not go well. "Why couldn't she tell us about the problems she faced on set? Even though she's just an ordinary staff member, this must've happened to her because of something on set!"

Although they were both unaware of what Monica was crying about, her tearful conviction forced Lucas to halt his footsteps.

"Do you even know what you're talking about? How are you going to explain yourself if Tracy has nothing to do with the person you're talking about?" the director questioned. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Before Lucas could say anything, Monica vehemently shook her head. "Impossible! I'm very sure that Penny's accident is linked to them."

Through soft sobs, she continued, "Penny is one of the most honest people out there. Why does she have to face this sort of situation? Who else could be responsible for this?"

As Lucas listened to Monica's muttering, he decided to stay behind and meet Tracy. For some unknown reason, he sensed that he was already drawing closer to the truth.

He believed that Tracy was a meticulous woman. She was not as arrogant as he thought, and she did not respond to ordinary provocations because she felt that others were beneath her.

That was a very stark contradiction from the director's description, and Lucas was therefore able to deduce that Tracy was adept at concealing her true nature. In normal interactions, the things she said might not necessarily be the truth.

If Lucas were to invest all his efforts in finding out the truth, he would not want to see things play out according to Tracy's plan. He learned that Monica was instrumental in exposing Tracy that day and had displayed remarkable courage in doing so, yet that not a hint of sharpness could be detected when she wept so vulnerably in front of Lucas.

"She usually has a very good relationship with Penny, so it's understandable for her to feel sad and anxious now that Penny has disappeared," Shaun explained helplessly to Lucas.
