Melody lowered her gaze, realizing that Lucas chose not to stay because he did not love her. Nheless, she tried to reason in Lucas'' stead.


    "He has a lot on his te, and it''s only right of him to go back to work. In fact, I''ll be going to the movie setter."


    Melody smiled, but the tears in her eyes made Beatrice even more distressed. "What happened afterward? How did Lucas find out you were kidnapped?"


    Melody bit her lip. "I had the kidnappers swipe one million dors on the supplementary card Lucas gave me, and he immediately sensed something was wrong and came to find me. If it weren''t for Lucas''s keen instincts, I might''ve..."


    Beatrice''s gaze turned cold. "Poor child, I''m sorry you had to go through that. Have you figured out who was behind the kidnapping?"


    Melody found it difficult to speak. How could she say that the one who harmed her was her own sister?


    "It was...Wendy."


    "That name sounds familiar," said Cedric with a pondering expression.


    Melody sighed. "You''re right, Grandpa. That''s because she''s my sister."


    "What?!" Beatrice and Cedric found it absurd. How could a sister conspire to harm her own sibling?


    Beatrice advised Melody not to go to the film setter.


    "It''s too dangerous. Besides, it''s understandable to take a day off after experiencing such a scare yesterday. I can call the director for you if you don''t feelfortable to do so."


    Beatrice was about to take out her phone to make the call when Melody quickly held her hand.


    "No, Grandma, don''t! It will dy the whole production if I don''t go today. Besides, Wendy has been arrested. She''s in the police station now and won''t be able to harm me anymore!" Melody tried to reassure Beatrice.


    However, Beatrice could not shake off the sense of danger, especially considering that Melody''s own sister had targeted her.


    "Can''t you skip the shooting today?" Beatrice asked with a frown. However, she did not press the issue further when she saw Melody shaking her head. After all, both she and Lucas were workaholics.


    "In that case, at least let the family driver send you. We''ll also arrange for two bodyguards to apany you. I promise they won''t interfere with your work, okay?" Beatrice suggested. Melody nodded obediently. She understood that all these arrangements made by Beatrice were out of concern for her, and she had no reason to refuse.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Grandma, Grandpa, I''ll be more cautious and take better care of myself now."


    Beatrice tenderly patted Melody''s head, feeling that she was too pure for her own good.


    She could not fathom how her parents had raised Wendy. How could they allow her to harm Melody?


    Moreover, since the incident urred, Melody never mentioned her parents'' attitudes. It seemed like those two had tacitly approved of everything.


    ''In this world, there might never be parents who can truly treat all of their children equally,'' thought Beatrice.


    Perhaps not everyone could have a perfect family, but at least Melody was fortunate to meet the kind Beatrice and Cedric.


    Even though they were not her biological grandparents, Melody experienced the warmth of a family, and that was enough for her.


    Before Melody headed to the movie set, Beatrice prepared some snacks specially for her to bring to work.
