Stella clenched her fist.
All of a sudden, she burst into laughter. She walked up to Wendy with a creepy smile.
"How naive you are. Do you really think anyone would dare to report on me without my permission? On the contrary, you should worry about yourself, given your current situation."
Stella crossed her arms and looked down condescendingly at Wendy.
She did not want to take things too far, since Wendy could still be useful to her in getting rid of Melody. However, she did not expect Wendy to be stupid enough to threaten her with something so trivial. It was so absurd that she found it downright amusing.
Stella would not possibly let Wendy off the hook when she so naively put herself up for slaughter.
"What do you want?! My family is innocent. Aren't you afraid that I'll expose you for the evil person that you are?"
Wendy's eyes widened. She did not care that much about her family, but at the moment, it was the only thing she could depend on. She would truly have nothing left if Stella hurt her father and Helen. In other words, she would end up alone and helpless.
At least Melody had someone capable like Lucas to protect her. Wendy never had the good fortune of meeting a man like that.
'D*mn that b*tch! I hope she dies! Why does she get to live a carefree life while I'm stuck here?' thought Wendy.
Stella raised an eyebrow. She was surprised to find that Wendy cared that much about her family.
"Do as I say if you don't want me to hurt your family. Don't mention my name. Don't let anyone know I approached you, and I'll give you my word that your parents will be safe and sound. But if you dare utter a single word… Well, I'll make sure you'll come to regret it."
Stella was either as proud as a peacock or determined to outdo Melody. Yet, she acted very cautiously toward Melody that morning, leaving Melody feeling perplexed.
While Melody paid no attention to Stella's act of being close friends, she could not help but find her behavior abnormal that morning. Stella even kept her usual passive-aggressive remarks to the minimum.
In fact, Stella left in a hurry without saying much. Even though the entire morning was supposed to revolve around her scenes, she specifically requested time off from the director to go out.
Melody did not see Stella's manager, but she could see a look of confusion on Stella's personal assistant's face.
'Why does it seem like even her assistant didn't know anything about the emergency? Why would Stella need to handle the emergency herself?' wondered Melody.
Everything pointed to Stella's abnormal behavior. Since Melody did not have any scenes scheduled in the morning, she informed the director and got into her own car to tail Stella.

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...
