"Now do you believe I'm innocent?" asked Melody.
Lucas took another glance at the surveillance footage on his computer and felt an inexplicable annoyance rising in his chest. He adjusted his tie and asked, "Is there anything else you're calling me about?"
Even though Melody had shown him the evidence, Lucas' tone remained distant.
'What's wrong with him?' Melody wondered.
She sighed. "I need another favor. As you've noticed, someone took that photo to stir up trouble. Can you find out who's behind this?"
Lucas had already assigned Edmund to look into this matter before Melody's call, but he simply responded coldly, "Okay."
The culprit did not really pay much attention to being discreet, and Edmund's brief investigation quickly led him to Wendy.
...
"Ma'am, it was Wendy who took the photos," reported Edmund.
Melody's face darkened with anger. She was so sure that the three million dollars would be enough to cut ties with the Sanders once and for all. Little did she expect Wendy to be so relentless and stoop so low to hurt her.
'They have no one to blame for the consequences coming for them!' thought Melody vehemently, vowing to stop at nothing to teach the Sanders a lesson.
"Miss Melody, do you want me to step in and warn Wendy?" asked Edmund.
After a moment of contemplation, Melody shook her head. "No, that won't be necessary. I'll handle this on my own. Though, I'll need your help with something."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
