Lucas pointed at Stella's cheek but made no attempts to wipe it for her.Stella reluctantly allowed him to stay in the room while she excused herself to the bathroom."Wait here. I'll make some coffee for us once I'm done!" Stella announced as she headed to the kitchen.Lucas nodded and bided his time until Stella left the room. He began searching as soon as he was done. Time was of the essence, and he had earlier deduced that the closet seemed to be the most likely place for Stella to hide the evidence.Stella had gone off to check her makeup and see if there were any black marks present. She looked at the makeup on her cheek and thought that perhaps Lucas misunderstood the markings as some dust. Determined to make Lucas hers for the night, she took out her cosmetics and reapplied them.Aside from the closet, he realized that Stella had a whole room dedicated to her wardrobe. Tucked away in a corner among all the branded luxury clothes that she had were the clothes Melody had wor

Lucas parked the car at the entrance and handed the keys over to the housekeeper. He swiftly entered the living room with an eager look as he wondered what sort of expression Melody would have upon hearing the news of the evidence he had uncovered."Took you long enough at the office. Why did you leave Melody at home?" Beatrice asked. She had been waiting for him on the sofa."You've both just started your married journey together, and this is the best time to nurture your relationship. How do you think she's going to feel when you leave her at home all the time? Your grandfather and I treat Melody well, but we can never be as close as you are to her. I want you to take better care of Melody's feelings in the future."Lucas nodded. "Yes. I understand where you're coming from. I'll be more attentive."Cedric placed his newspaper down and approached his grandson. "Understanding isn't enough. You must demonstrate it through your actions. The company demands your attention, but you don

Lucas got even more annoyed when Melody did not refute his words at all. She really thought he went out fooling around."Huh! Is that what you think of me? Melody, you really have a vivid imagination."He went to all the trouble to gather evidence for her, but in the end, she still thought he was fooling around. Anyone would be upset at being falsely accused like that."I have nothing to say if you insist on thinking like that!"Melody did not understand why Lucas could pretend to be so innocent.'He clearly went on a date with Stella. Heck, he even went to her house, yet here he is, talking to me as if nothing had happened. Why can't I be as indifferent as him?' thought Melody.Lucas, seeing that she did not seem interested in having a proper conversation, became even more infuriated.He yanked off his tie and threw it on the ground, then turned and headed to the study."I'm sleeping in the study tonight!"He was so angry that he did not even want to see Melody. Confronting h

Melody's gaze turned cold as she saw Stella approaching.After Stella removed her sunglasses, she moved in to try and hold Melody's hands. However, Melody anticipated her move and subtly sidestepped. Stella missed her target, lunging forward and nearly twisting her ankle, especially with her high heels making her balance precarious."Ah!" Stella exclaimed in surprise and pain.Suddenly, all the crew members gathered around, looking at Stella with concern. Their gaze toward Melody, however, carried a hint of reproach."Miss Stella, are you okay? Did you twist your ankle? Seems like our crew is cursed with foot injuries. First, Miss Tracy got her foot pricked by a thumbtack, and now Miss Stella almost twisted her ankle!""Hmph. I've said it before that someone here has it in for the other actresses! It's best to quickly replace the female lead, or it'll be one mishap after another. Did you not see how ungrateful she is? Miss Stella was genuinely concerned for her, but she moved asid

'Well, it's Melody's fault for not investing in social relationships. Ultimately, it's because she lacks social skills. She doesn't possess the most basic qualities that the wives of the wealthy have. So what gives her the right to be Lucas' wife?' thought Stella.The more Melody appeared indifferent, the more pitiable Stella seemed.Melody found Stella's teary-eyed act extremely irritating, but unfortunately, everyone else seemed to be falling for it."I have nothing to say if you all insist on blaming me for this. There's no need to explain to those who don't believe me! The truth will come to light once Mister Shaun is here with the latest developments!"Melody's refusal to apologize made others think she was being stubborn, and the dislike from the other crew members intensified.'Where does she get the confidence to act like this? We all saw the surveillance footage! Who else wearing the same clothes is there apart from her?' they thought."Melody, stop talking. The surveill
