"Did you know? Claudia left behind a letter long before you killed her. Your seemingly flawless plan was actually full of loopholes. She was your sister. How could she not see through your schemes? It's just that you hated her so much, hated her to the point of taking her life.
"She never regretted it. As long as it was food prepared by you, she'd eat it all without a second thought. In the end, she died by your hand."
Melody's words were absurd, and Thalia laughed mockingly. "Do you think I'm a fool? Do you expect me to believe everything you say? Even if I were a fool, Claudia certainly wasn't. If I had poisoned the food, why would she willingly eat the food I prepared? That's simply ridiculous. Melody, I know you're an actress, but please stop making up all this drama to prove how deeply she cared for me. It's all futile."
Melody still looked at Thalia with that patronizingly compassionate expression, which infuriated her. "I want you to know one thing—you've always been resentful. Despite being sisters, there's a stark difference between you two. She was naturally beautiful, while you were mediocre. She excelled in her studies, finding learning effortless, whereas it was challenging for you. Have you ever wondered why?"
Thalia did not hesitate to answer, "Why else? Because she loved showing off and loved being in the spotlight. Neither of you has the right to speak on my behalf or talk about forgiveness!"
Melody genuinely laughed. "I truly feel sorry for your sister. She did everything for you, only to receive nothing in return. Was it really worth it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I warn you, Melody, just because you have the upper hand now doesn't mean I won't dare to do anything to you. There's still plenty of time, so don't blame me for hurting you if you dare to speak all this nonsense again!"
'I'm the one who's truly compatible with Lucas. We've known each other for so many years, while Melody had only known him for a short time!' thought Thalia.
"If you don't believe me, go and match your blood type with the records left in the hospital from the time Claudia was born. Henry also reported the incident of finding you. It's all clearly documented in the hospital records. Claudia was just too kind-hearted. Even after realizing what you were planning to do to her, she never thought to reveal this fact to you.
"If she had been ruthless enough to tell you the truth back then, would you still be so cruel? You're nothing more than a foundling, so you should be grateful! You're inferior to her because you were born that way. You stole her life and caused her death. What right do you have to stand before me so brazenly?"

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...
