"Come in," Melody answered.
"Ma'am, several police officers have shown up. They're asking to see you. Would you like to go down and greet them or?"
Melody placed the teacup down and realized that the crew must have decided to get the police involved, which she was fine with. After all, she could then leave the investigation to the police once she gave them her statement. She was certain that they would clear her name.
The officers led Melody away as soon as she came down, which startled Beatrice and made her wonder if something bad had happened again. The officers' sudden appearance seemed to have come out of nowhere.
"You don't need to make the trip to the station with me. I haven't committed any crime. They're just going to record my statement according to the procedure."
Beatrice was more relieved when she heard the explanation, but she asked anyway, "Can you at least tell us what happened? This sort of stress is a little too much for me to handle."
Melody smiled reassuringly and asked the maid to prepare some calming tea for the two of them.
"I'm fine. I promise! I'll be back before you're both done with your nap." Melody then turned around and left with the police officers.
She was a little nervous as she had never ridden in a police car to the police station before. Although she knew she was innocent, she nonetheless felt a little nervous to be caught up in the situation.
It was analogous to falling ill. She knew that she would be cured after going to the hospital for a checkup, but the wait was agonizing. She would either be worried about discovering that she might have some incurable disease, or that the doctor might tell her something she could not accept.
She and Stella had gone their separate ways at that time, and she had lingered at the police station for a long time before she finally received a call from the crew. The police officer nodded and proceeded to the next question.
"When did you leave the set? Do you have any alibis to prove that?"
Melody thought for a while before answering, "I don't remember the exact time, but I do know that I left shortly after Stella. The crew should also have some video records. I also visited my sister, which I believe the station should also record."
"Last question. According to your testimony, you said you were set up. Do you have any clues about who is trying to frame you? And by that, I mean, who do you think might be the real suspect here? Your answer will help us narrow things down tremendously."
Melody nodded and began, "Right now, I can't say because I wasn't on set this morning. I'm not sure who could've done it. All I can say is that there was some friction between me and Miss 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...
