The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2191

Based on what Nathan understood, the Riveras' old lady ought to belong to the latter group. The Riveras intentionally handed over all the good scripts to Melody, as she was their new and hard-sought granddaughter-in-law. However, Melody had no intention of exploiting her privileges in such a manner. She wanted to land a role in the movies fairly.

Then again, everything he heard was nothing more than hearsay. Discerning the veracity of the information thus became a challenge. Those who had a longstanding involvement in showbiz would have forged some connections, and Nathan was no different.

Melody nodded without the slightest hint of reservation. There was no point in her trying to hide her status since it was already common knowledge. Doing so would give her the impression that she was being too petty.

Furthermore, it worked to her advantage for outsiders to know that she was the granddaughter-in-law of the Riveras since she was still under contract with Lucas. She was well aware of the vast gap in status between herself and the entire Rivera family—it would be an understatement to even describe them as being polar opposites.

"I'm just worried that the old couple might not understand how youngsters think nowadays. That'll definitely result in a misunderstanding. They're old, and I don't want something like this to happen," Melody expressed her true thoughts. Her concerns extended beyond the impact on the Riveras, as she also feared that Beatrice and Cedric might misconstrue the news to mean that there was some kind of conflict between herself and Lucas. In turn, that would result in her breaking the terms of their contractual agreement.

Nathan nodded in understanding. Being in such a family had its pros and cons. Having to consider the entire family when dealing with such situations was perhaps an example of a con.

Even so, it seemed that Melody had not been in too many tough situations—at least not yet. Nathan was willing to extend a helping hand to the best of his capacity, viewing his gesture as a small favor that could leave a favorable impression on the Riveras' future matriarch.

"It's no biggie. I think it'd be good to clarify things. What approach do you suggest, though?" Nathan asked.

Melody was jolted by Lucas's sudden appearance. As soon as she looked toward the door, he had already passed by her like a gust of wind.

Before Melody could offer any explanation, Lucas seized Nathan by the collar and shoved the man aside.

"Agh!" Nathan might have fared better if he had been prepared for a confrontation with a man of Lucas's stature. Alas, he had been caught off-guard and tumbled to the ground as a result.
