"I've always thought that the real troublemakers are those spectators who enjoy watching the chaos and don't mind stirring up trouble. It's clearly not our fault, but just because of a few clips, they're throwing mud at us and even resorting to baseless insults.
"Honestly, if it weren't for my identity as an actress, I'd go up there and give them a piece of my mind. They've crossed the line, dragging my family into it as well," grumbled Melody.
Melody understood that her anger was not groundless. Moreover, all of them—as celebrities—had been subjected to various attacks, especially during the peak of online negativity.
She sighed softly. "Even though I prepared myself for the fact that not everyone would like me before I decided to become an actress, such blatant malice still gets to me. We're strangers to most of these people, and the only contact they have with us is through the big screen. I just don't understand. Where is all this hatred coming from?"
Melody's question echoed the sentiments of all public figures.
"I know. They think that because we earn more money, we should endure their malice," Nathan volunteered to answer, acknowledging that he received fewer attacks compared to the female actors. Most of the attacks directed toward actresses used more vicious language than those toward male actors, especially on moral grounds.
Melody sighed. She could not simply show these social media users her payslip to prove that she did not earn as much as they imagined.
Observing Monica's downcast mood, Monica offered some words of comfort. "Let's not dwell on this. We don't need to engage with them. They're all strangers to us, after all. If they think we earn a lot, then let's hope that we'll actually earn as much as they thought in the future. All this should end tonight and tomorrow morning, the public perception of our crew should shift."

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...
