"It's all your fault, you old hag!" Thalia said, growing angrier by the moment. She walked slowly toward Beatrice, causing the elderly woman to retreat and grip the railing cautiously.
"Fine, it's all my fault. I apologize. But you're still young, what's the point of arguing with an old hag like me? Why not give up on Lucas and find a man who truly loves you?" asked Beatrice.
Thalia smirked coldly, then swung her hand forcefully, landing a heavy blow on Beatrice's arm. Beatrice screamed and tumbled down the stairs.
"Ah!"
The whole thing happened so fast, and no one was around in the corner where the dispute occurred. Beatrice watched helplessly as she was pushed down. She let out a scream, unable to grasp onto anything as she tumbled down the stairs.
Thalia's hands trembled uncontrollably. "You brought this upon yourself, so don't blame me," she muttered.
Blood slowly oozed from Beatrice's head. She blinked her eyes, eventually losing consciousness.
Thalia glanced around, confirming that this was a blind spot in the surveillance, before hiding to the side. After a couple of minutes, someone finally discovered Beatrice lying there.
"Oh my goodness! What happened here?! Someone, please come quickly! Old Missus Rivera has fallen down the stairs!"
Upon hearing that Beatrice had fallen down the stairs, even the intoxicated guests downstairs sobered up considerably.
"Are you kidding?! Old Missus Rivera was just chatting with friends a moment ago!"
Although they expressed disbelief, everyone understood that nobody would joke about such a serious matter.
The crowd immediately became restless, all pushing toward the spot where Beatrice had fallen.

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...
