The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2437

Lucas pondered for a moment before saying, "Since this matter is almost wrapped up, could you do me a favor?"

Leo was somewhat surprised. Lucas had never asked his employees to do things privately outside of work. He was curious about what task Lucas would assign to him. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

However, to his surprise, it was once again related to Melody. It seemed that Melody was truly Lucas' beloved.

"I won't let you guys work in vain. Help me find out how Wendy got out. Remember, keep everything that has to do with the Sanders on the down low, and let me deal with them directly."

Lucas was worried that making too much noise about this matter would alert the Sander family before he could strike. Moreover, if Beatrice found out about these things, she would go over to the Sanders' residence and cause a scene, which would not be good for Melody.

After hanging up the phone, Lucas stood on the balcony for a while before going back to Melody's side. Seeing Melody frowning even in her sleep, he felt his heart ache even more. "Are you feeling this way because you haven't let go of those people yet?"

Lucas understood that Melody was deeply sentimental and loyal. Even though her family had never treated her with kindness, it was still difficult for her to completely sever ties with them.

Despite saying that those people had wronged her, deep down, she still longed for even the slightest bit of care from them. Lucas did not blame her. After all, who could completely let go of the love of their parents?

Lucas only hoped that his presence could bring her a little bit of happiness and that she would not be sad because of those unworthy people anymore.

"Look at how swollen your eyes are from all that crying," he said tenderly.

Meanwhile, in the Sanders' residence, Helen was furious at getting hung up on. She yelled at Ethan, who was still sitting on the couch reading the newspaper, "That Melody is such an ungrateful wretch. How dare she take that kind of attitude with me!"

Ethan, flipping through the newspaper, shrugged. "She already moved out, so why bother calling her?"

To him, the absence of a son in the house meant little difference between their two daughters.

"Wendy asked me to find her. Otherwise, why would I bother making myself miserable?"

Ethan glanced at her and replied, "If it weren't for Melody causing such a scene online, why would Wendy even speak up like that? These days, the people who used to know about our family's affairs keep asking me about what kind of person Melody is. I'm embarrassed to even answer them. It's all because of that daughter of yours. She's ruined our family's reputation!"

Helen was already irritated especially since Ethan did not spend much time at home. With only her and Wendy in the house, she always felt like she had to be submissive and accommodating to Wendy. However, she could not even earn a smile from her in return. She had been harboring resentment for a long time.

"You're good at shifting blame, aren't you? Isn't Melody your daughter as well? You should acknowledge your share of responsibility. Is it solely my fault that she's turned out like this? And what do you mean, ruining our family's reputation? What reputation do we even have left? The Sander family of today isn't the same as your grandfather's generation. Please wake up and stop dwelling on past glories!"

Ethan was most irritated when others pointed out the fact that the Sander family was not what it used to be. Many people knew deep down that the Sander family's decline happened under Ethan's watch, but he refused to admit it himself.

Thus, it was understandable that he became even more angered at Helen's bringing up his wound. He slammed the newspaper down on the coffee table. "What do you mean by that?"
