There was venom in Thalia's eyes as she looked at Beatrice.

Cedric frowned and stepped in front of Beatrice. "Make no mistake, the place you're staying is our home after all. Consider it a formal notification of us asking you to leave."

Though Cedric was old, his authority remained intact. He reminded Thalia firmly, prompting her to suddenly snap out of her anger.

She put on a pitiful expression again, waiting for Lucas to return. She planned to make a scene when he came back. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Melody sat on the muddy ground, hugging her knees. The sky was getting darker, and the temperature in the forest was dropping. She looked around but could only see dense trees, which frightened her as she could not see clearly what was inside.

The search teams should have been on their way back, so why had she not seen them yet? Melody cautiously touched her injured left ankle.

"Ouch! Hopefully it's not broken. I really want to return to the set to resume filming..." Melody muttered to herself to boost her courage.

She hoped that Beatrice would notice her absence and send someone to find her, but then she felt a sense of despair - with only Beatrice and Cedric outside, who else could they send to search for her? 'Could they have sent Lucas? But would he really be willing to come, seeing as how angry he was with me earlier?' wondered Melody.

She curled up tighter to retain body heat. The longer she stayed in the forest, the sadder she felt.

All of this had nothing to do with her, yet she had been scolded so harshly. To make matters worse, she was left alone in a cold and dark place.

"Did Lucas really think this is all my fault? But I already told him not to rush in, but in the end, I'm stuck worrying about that guy... How stupid of me! Next time, I won't act so kindly since I'll just be taken for granted again," she said to herself pitifully.

Melody could not hold back a few sniffs, and her eyes were moist with tears.

When Lucas passed by her while carrying Thalia, she did not shed a tear, but she could not help it after.

"Sob... It was clearly not my fault, so why did he scold me? Just because I didn't run into the forest and make him worry? If it had been me who ran in there first, would he still be this concerned?" Melody once again understood the saying that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with her, but because Thalia recklessly ran into the forest, they were all stuck there even when nightfall was looming.

Not to mention, Lucas had to carry Thalia back because she told him she had sprained her ankle.

"If only I had shouted loudly that I sprained my ankle too. No, wait, I did sprained my ankle! Ugh!"

Melody really did not want to continue living in the Riveras' residence if it were not for Beatrice and Cedric. At least until Thalia left, she only wanted to be on the set.

However, the set was also in chaos at that moment. They had to wait for some time to send out clarifying evidence, and just thinking about it gave Melody a headache.

"Is it mercury retrograde right now? Why is everything going so wrong?" Melody wiped away the tears on her face. "Sigh... Things will get better after a while. I believe no one will be unlucky forever."
