"Please! I beg you, Mister Lucas, I... I''m sorry, I really won''t do it again. I didn''t mean to. I was just confused, my mind was clouded... How could I dare to think of touching you? I promise I won''t do it again!" begged Wendy.


    Unlike Melody, Lucas was not one to change his mind easily. Ignoring Wendy''s pleas, he dialed the emergency number.


    He was actually quite amused at Wendy''s desperation. "You brought all of this on yourself. Next time you better consider whether you can handle the consequences before doing something shady!"


    Wendy knew that begging would not work on Lucas, so she immediately changed her tact. "I''ll continue to expose Melody online if you call the police. We''ve lived under the same roof for so many years after all, you know. What I say will always carry more credibility than others. If you don''t want to see your beloved woman tarnished, then stop what you''re doing right now!"


    Lucas paused and scrutinized the woman in front of him; she was indeed much bolder than he imagined.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    However, Wendy had forgotten one thing-it would be very easy for Lucas to make sure she would never work in the entertainment industry again. In this world, no one could threaten him.


    "Please. I know what I did was wrong, but as long as you don''t call the police, I promise I won''t smear Melody online anymore." Wendy even promised to clear Melody''s name.


    As unwilling as she was to do that, she knew that once she offended Lucas, her future in the entertainment industry would be ruined. Not wanting the incident to affect Melody''s mood any further, Lucas chose not to escte the situation, and the matter was resolved for the time being.


    Later, Lucas requested Monica not to tell Melody about this sordid affair.


    Beatrice noticed something interesting-the rtionship between her grandson and granddaughter-inw seemed to have reached a new level. Seeing Lucas and Melody return together made her even happier.


    After he got out of the car, Lucas went to Melody''s side first, opening her car door, and they walked up to Beatrice hand in hand. Many people could not quite put their finger on it, but the intimate gestures between them seemed more practiced than before. They looked particrly affectionate, even a casual nce between them was filled with love.


    Beatrice had always liked Melody as her granddaughter-inw, so she was naturally happier to see their rtionship be so good.


    "Grandpa, Grandma, we came back to see you. I''m really sorry, but the crew has been rushing to wrap up the final shooting recently, so I haven''t been able toe back to see you often."


    Melody felt somewhat apologetic. Since moving out with Lucas, Beatrice and Cedric had to live in theirrge mansion alone, which could make them feel inevitably lonely. It was also because of this that they always hoped Melody and Lucas coulde back.


    However, Melody had been quite busy. Lucas usually had to wait for her to finish shooting before driving her home, and it was oftente when that happened. Thus, even if Melody wanted to visit Beatrice and Cedric, she could not.


    Beatrice smiled as she took Melody''s hand, paying no mind to her grandson standing behind.


    "We understand very well that you two are busy with your work. It''s enough to keep us in your thoughts. After your filming wraps up, you can move back home and spend more time with us. Take it as making it up to us," said Beatrice while patting Melody''s hand.


    Melody nodded. "Sure thing! Lucas and I have already discussed it. Once the filming ends, we''ll move back here. Then I''ll be with you every day, so I hope you won''t find me annoying!"
