The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1909

Upon hearing the name 'Rivera Group', the bartender's expression changed immediately. He led them to a booth and even brought two glasses of water, saying, "Please wait a moment. I'll get our boss right away."

The stark shift in the bartender's attitude highlighted the Rivera family's immense influence in the city.

Melody felt a bit uneasy. She never interacted with such a bigwig before, and she was about to become the wife of one for a year. She had no clue what challenges the upcoming year might come her way.

The bar owner arrived promptly, smiling obsequiously at Edmund. "I apologize for the wait. I heard you lost something and want to check last night's surveillance footage. Our bar is quite large, and we have multiple cameras. Could you please let me know the specific areas you'd like to review?"

Edmund turned to Melody.

Melody stood up and pointed to the nearby booth. "Around this spot, and the route leading to your hotel."

The bar owner promptly had a laptop brought over and played the surveillance footage for them.

As expected, the footage clearly captured Wendy persistently pushing Melody to drink. Every gesture and expression was sharply defined. The footage from the pathway to the hotel also revealed Wendy engaging in a conversation with William.

He seemed eager to have Wendy go upstairs, but after some words were exchanged, he nodded with a sly smile and ascended the stairs alone.

Melody realized that Wendy must have made some deal with William at that moment, perhaps promising to bring Melody to his room later.

'Well played, Wendy. The 'best sister of the year' award goes to you,' Melody thought sarcastically.

"Sir, could you make a copy of this footage for me? I need it," Melody requested.

Given Lucas' influence, the bar owner did not dare to refuse and did not press for more details.

With the surveillance video in hand, Melody and Edmund returned to the car and continued their journey to the Sanders' residence.
