"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 became public.
"Did you hear what the police officer just said? They suspect Stella is involved in an intentional harm case!"
Many covered their mouths, fear of Lucas visible in their eyes.
"Does this mean the police already have evidence against Stella, and they were just waiting for Mister Lucas to give the green light?"
"Yeah, I never thought this would be Stella's doing. She went to great lengths to frame Melody. She's really quite cunning, isn't she?"
"Melody isn't as simple as we make her out to be either. Didn't you see that Lucas is backing her in this matter? She has Mister Lucas' support." The person sneered, clearly jealous.
"Even if Mister Lucas is supporting Melody, she still suffered injustice, right? We all thought she harmed Miss Tracy. We should at least apologize to her."
She could not help but recall when she bumped into the two of them on the street having a date yesterday, and later, his suit ended up at Stella's house.
'Lucas must've gone to Stella's house last night to look for evidence.'
Melody was not sure if her guess was correct. She decided to ask him later.
At that moment, Shaun also rushed back. He stopped in front of Lucas and, without waiting for him to speak, assured him that the same thing would not happen again.
"You better keep your promise this time. It's also your responsibility as the director."
Shaun wiped the sweat off his forehead. He would inevitably feel immense pressure whenever he faced Lucas.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
