''Oh, so she''s worried that I''d be hurt by other people,'' thought Lucas. He gently hugged Melody and sighed. "The dressing room is filled with your scent, so that''s why I could sleep so soundly there. How about next time you stay by my side and keep a watch over me?"


    Melody could not help but frown at the thought of Wendy trying to steal a kiss from Lucas. It seemed that Wendy had no intention of giving up on Lucas yet. Well, Melody would definitely make her pay if there was a next time!Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    Wendy also paid the price for her actions. All the endorsement deals she had secured while riding on the wave of Melody''s poprity were canceled. However, she only had herself to me. Once Melody rified the situation, everyone realized that Wendy had been lying. The so-called poprity was as fleeting as smoke, dissipating without a trace.


    After the incident with Lucas, Wendy had locked herself in the room to sulk, refusing to step out. Even when Helen knocked on her door and asked her toe out for food, she only responded with rage, yelling and smashing things.


    "Get lost! All of you, get lost!"


    Frowning, Helen returned to the dining table with the food tray in her hand. She could not help butin as she observed Ethan''s indifferent demeanor.


    "Your daughter hasn''t eaten for two days. Aren''t you worried at all?"


    Ethan, reading the newspaper in his hands, snorted. "She''s not a three-year-old child anymore. Do we really need to worry about whether she eats or not? If she''s hungry, she''lle out to eat."


    "We can''t let her go on like this! Whenever she''s angry, she always locks herself up in the room and smashes everything inside. No matter what I say, she refuses toe out!"


    Helen sat down in frustration. Regardless, she had done her duty as a stepmother to Wendy. There was nothing she could do about it if Wendy was determined toe out of her room.


    In her room, Wendy was constantly refreshing her page nervously, readingments using her of shamelessly lying and trying to piggyback on her sister''s poprity. She bit her nails while reading thosements.


    "What do you mean, piggybacking on her poprity? She was the one who stole everything from me. I just want to take back what rightfully belongs to me!"


    Wendy trembled with anger, feeling dizzy after two days without eating. She randomly grabbed something nearby and mmed it against the wall. Thud!


    "Melody, you b*tch, just you wait!"


    Wendy was treated like a pariah online while Melody emerged unscathed from the scandal. The news of thepletion of the movie had spread across the inte and everyone was eagerly anticipating iting out on the big screen.


    [I have to say, despite all the controversies surrounding Melody, I''m still very excited about this movie. Not only because it''s Shaun''s big-screeneback after five years, but also because... Melody is just too beautiful. Who wouldn''t be captivated by that face?


    Suchments received widespread agreement, especially from those who prioritize looks.


    [Melody is undisputedly the most adorable and beautiful actress among the new generation of actresses!]


    Such overly absolutements often stir controversy, but underneath Melody''s photos, social media users unanimously clicked the ''like'' button. It was simply because Melody''s face was so well-suited for the big screen.


    She could smile or weep, be still or in motion; every expression carried an indescribable charm as if she had stepped out of the script itself. The social media users were already so excited just from seeing a few photos released by the production team.


    Not to mention Shaun and those working behind the scenes on editing, who had the perfect view of all of Melody''s breathtaking beauty. Shaun and Mick exchanged a knowing smile and high-fived each other.
