The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2508

Everything was not going smoothly for Quinn, especially when she was being forced to depend on others. Quinn wanted to leave, but a woman was waiting to capture her back in Molomia. Thus, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and stay in New Capital City.

Beatrice put her arm around Melody's back and led her to the spotlight.

"This is my granddaughter-in-law, Melody. She's a very kind girl, so we've been keeping her relationship with Lucas a secret to protect her. But I'm sure everyone has been keeping up with the gossip about our family recently!"

Beatrice's joke elicited laughter from the guests. Indeed, both Lucas and Melody had been hitting the headlines frequently lately. In fact, even before the news about Lucas and Melody broke out, Melody was already a frequent feature on the trending topics list. There was not one person in the room who did not know who Melody was.

"As for those online gossips, just take them with a grain of salt. The reason why I introduced Melody right now is because I want everyone to know that Melody is different from most girls. She's a bit timid, and her involvement in acting is solely driven by her passion for it. I hope everyone can give her a bit more grace if she ever unintentionally offended you. After all, she's still young."

Who would dare not to give face to Beatrice? Even if someone dared to do so, they would still need to contend with Lucas, who was standing behind Beatrice and watching everyone closely.

Anyone who wanted to work with the Riveras in the future was wise; they knew who they could or could not offend.

"The fact that Old Missus Rivera would introduce her granddaughter-in-law on her big birthday bash means that she must be very satisfied with her," someone familiar with the Riveras raised a toast and exclaimed loudly.

Thus, when Lucas saw that emerald at the auction one day, he almost without hesitation raised the bid to the highest and naturally acquired the gemstone.

"Grandma, the scarf and emerald are birthday gifts from both Melody and me," said Lucas. He would not have remembered what he was supposed to say if it were not for Melody's reminder.

Having observed all the subtle interactions between them, Beatrice finally felt at ease. Later on, she and Cedric split up, with Cedric taking Lucas to greet guests while Beatrice attended to her own social circle.

Since Melody was her granddaughter-in-law, there was no reason for her not to participate in such occasions. Initially, Melody found these gatherings very awkward, but she knew Beatrice's intentions were sincere, and that she genuinely cared for her.
