"Miss Stella, you're under arrest for suspected malicious intent and intentional harm. Please come with us."Stella was bewildered. She had not expected Lucas to be so ruthless by calling in the police. It seemed like they had been waiting in an undisclosed location for the right moment to act."Let go of me! What do you think you are doing? How dare you handcuff me! I haven't done anything. Why are you arresting me? The real culprit is that woman! It's Melody!Lucas watched indifferently as the police led Stella away. They gradually disappeared into the distance.Stella tried to break free, but she was no match in terms of strength with the professionally trained police officers.The others were stunned. They did not expect that Lucas would take such decisive action and call the police.They thought that this matter would be handled internally within the film crew. After all, Lucas was also one of the investors in the movie, so it would not be beneficial for him if the incident

Melody's voice trailed off, and she fiddled her hands under the table."You thought I was on a date with Stella?" asked Lucas, seeing through her immediately.He casually took a sip of the tea provided by the restaurant.'Oh, so Melody likes this kind of taste. I should get some for home too,' thought Lucas.Melody bit her lower lip, feeling somewhat embarrassed.Lucas' nonchalant attitude toward the matter only served to highlight that she was the pettier one between the two of them. She did not want him to perceive her that way."True, I did misunderstand you. But you and Stella have known each other longer than we have, and I believe what Stella said is not entirely unjustified... I'm just...a bit sensitive."We've spent a considerable amount of time together, and I hope you trust me. But when you choose to believe your childhood friend rather than me, it does stir up some emotions in me."Lucas raised an eyebrow. Could he interpret Melody's words as her admitting to having

Melody raised her head and locked eyes with Lucas."Lucas, what you just said to me… Is it because you like me, or is it because you find me easy to control? And that's why I'm suitable to be your wife? Are you just looking for someone to stay at home, waiting for you all day as a housewife?"She was quite perplexed, but Lucas just smiled."You're overthinking things. I don't have any special fetish, nor am I like those misogynistic men who believe a woman's place is in the kitchen. I just hope you can live an easier life."The entertainment industry is full of malicious individuals. You've been targeted a few times since you joined this crew, haven't you? If you don't cherish yourself… Ahem! At least someone should!"Lucas' words touched Melody's heart. 'Does he mean he would cherish me? Well, what he said makes sense.'Since Melody decided to pursue an acting career, incidents like the one that had just been resolved had occurred more than once. It was sufficient to say that su

Upon hearing Melody's response, the girl on the other end just chuckled lightly, brushing off the question."Who am I? You'll find out when you ask Lucas. Are you two having dinner outside? Did you manage to resolve the problem within your crew?"Melody frowned. Not only did the girl refuse to reveal her identity, but she also seemed to be probing with her questions. Moreover, how did she know about the recent events within the crew?'She must have a lot of contact with Lucas to be able to know about all that when she's abroad…' thought Melody."I'm sorry, miss. I don't know who you are, so I can't casually give you information about us. You'd have to tell me your name first if you genuinely want to know. I'll tell you everything you want to know if you are indeed a friend of Lucas."The girl on the other end clearly did not expect Melody to respond this way. She paused for a moment, then burst into laughter, followed by a quick cough."Melody, you may not know me, but I know qui

"It's nothing. The hotpot is getting cold, so we should eat it quickly." Melody ate the food without savoring them.Lucas helped place the food in her bowl, just like usual, and even carefully removed the carrots she did not like.Melody could not but wonder why he was doing it as she stared at his elegant hand. It was really inexplicable."What's wrong? You seem to have no appetite. Weren't you the one who chose this restaurant?"Lucas paused for a moment before placing the food he had gotten for her into his own bowl.Melody simply poked around in her bowl with her cutleries and said, "Oh, maybe I was disgusted by what Stella did this morning. I wasn't really hungry anyway. I remember the food here being delicious, but it didn't have much taste when I started eating it."Lucas chuckled softly, not taking Melody's words seriously. "You don't have to eat it if you don't want to. How about I take you home and we can have the housekeeper prepare something you like instead?""No, i
