Leo, upon receiving Lucas' order to interrogate Wendy, was surprised at how easily it went. As soon as he and his assistant sat opposite Wendy, separated by a railing, she seemed eager to spill everything she knew.
"You work for Mister Lucas, right? I didn't do this. Someone made me do it! At most, I'm an accomplice. I can't go to jail. I have a bright future ahead of me," Wendy exclaimed, visibly agitated.
The officers had to push her back into her seat due to her impulsive behavior.
"You were quite cocky before, weren't you? Boasting about not caring about your future and being willing to go down with Melody. Or did we misinterpret what you said?" Leo retorted, referring to Wendy's threats during Melody's kidnapping, which sounded like those of someone who had given up on life. Thus, why would she change her tune?
"I've given it some thought and asked myself why I should take the blame when the culprit is someone else. I was manipulated by someone from start to finish. I'm just a scapegoat! Why should I sit around and wait for my punishment? There's still a chance I might be able to make a comeback, so there's no way I'm going to let myself be thrown into prison!"
Leo pursed his lips. He found what Wendy said nonsensical and devoid of logic. 'She previously took full responsibility for the incident, and now she claimed she was manipulated by someone else? Which part is true, and which is false?'
"Since you claim someone manipulated you, who is that person? Do you have any evidence? Without evidence, everything you're saying is just a waste of breath," Leo demanded.
"Who else hates Melody the most in this world? I'm talking about Lucas' ex-girlfriend, Thalia, of course! I'll have you know that she was the one who approached me. At first, I hesitated because Melody is my sister, and I didn't want to hurt her like this. But she told me that as long as Melody's reputation is ruined, I would have a chance to make a comeback."
Wendy was not that stupid enough to believe what Thalia told her. She had evidence to back her claims. She leaned forward and said, "Guess what? I discovered something very interesting. I wonder if your boss knows about it."

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...
