Wendy remained silent, but her expression conveyed that she would not fall for Melody's tricks.
"Who's locked up in the police station again? Wendy, I'm the one pressing charges against you. Understand? If you want a lighter sentence, you better tell me the truth!" said Melody.
Wendy slammed the table angrily, earning a warning look from the nearby police officer.
"Do you think I'm stupid? I wouldn't be sitting here if it weren't for you pressing charges against me! All of this is because of you, Melody. I'm going to make you pay if it's the last thing I do! Curse you, Melody! Curse you!" Wendy exclaimed in frustration.
Melody found her quite amusing. "What goes around comes around. Karma's only a b*tch if you're one, Wendy. But it's not too late to get some good karma for yourself.
"I'll give you one more chance. Who are you working for? You're not part of our film crew, so how could you possibly know my whereabouts that day? Not to mention, get the thugs to kidnap me on my way home? Do you really think I don't know who you're working for? I'm just giving you a chance to confess."
Melody lowered her voice. A look of unwavering certainty appeared in her eyes.
Wendy panicked for a moment, but she laughed. "Hahaha. You're really funny, do you know that, Melody? You wouldn't be sitting across from me now, talking about giving me a chance, if you really knew who it was! You're just trying to trick me. Do you really think I'm that stupid?"
Melody stopped smiling. She could not understand why Wendy insisted on protecting Stella. After all, what benefit would Wendy gain by doing that? On the contrary, she would be able to get out of the police station if she confessed everything to Melody.
"Yeah, you're not as stupid as I thought. You're even a bit dumber. Stay locked up here for all I care! But let me warn you just one last time: If you don't give me the name of who you're working for, the police will assume you're the mastermind.
"You can kiss your acting career and your entire life goodbye since you'll have to bear all the consequences!" said Melody.
Wendy clenched her fists. "It wasn't me who physically hurt you. It was those thugs!"
Beyond Stella's earlier warning, Wendy kept silent because she knew her chances of getting out were slim to none. In other words, there would be no one to deal with Melody if she exposed 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...
