The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1921

Chloe panicked at the mention of being hauled to the police station. "Mister Lucas, please! I'm innocent... Miss Melody is lying about me!" she pleaded.

Lucas scoffed. "Why would she lie about you? If you're not guilty, why did you rush back to wipe the pot of your fingerprints?"

Tears welled up in Chloe's eyes as she struggled to find the right words. "I... I just..."

Lucas lost his patience with her. "Edmund, take her away!"

"Yes, sir!" Edmund stepped forward and dragged Chloe out.

Feeling her crime slowly being exposed, Chloe gritted her teeth and stared at Melody defiantly.

"Lucky you, Melody! Mister Lucas almost bought my story before you pulled this stunt. You're every bit of the scheming b*tch I know you are!"

She became slightly hysterical as tears flowed freely down her face. "You're a wicked woman! You don't deserve Mister Lucas!"

'If I'm going down, then I'm going to drag her down with me!' thought Chloe. She reached out to grab Melody.

Before Melody could react, Lucas swiftly pulled her away and sidestepped Chloe's attempt.

Melody regained her composure and met Lucas's gaze. With her heart pounding, she silently thanked Lucas for swooping in just in time. Otherwise, Chloe might have scratched her.

"Thanks," Melody murmured before looking at Chloe.

Chloe, refusing to leave with Edmund, kept her tearful eyes fixed on Lucas.

It was evident that the Riveras held a strong view on dealing with matters fairly.

Melody turned around and found Lucas standing behind her.

"Don't tell me you pity her," said Lucas.

Melody shook her head. "No, I don't feel sorry for her at all. She brought this upon herself, so she should bear the consequences."

Lucas narrowed his eyes on her. "Well, Melody, you're brighter than I thought."

Melody pursed her lips. "If I didn't play along and trick her a bit, I wouldn't have been able to prove my innocence!"
