The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2458

It was as if Wendy was afraid that others would not recognize her as a celebrity, so she had to put on airs by crossing her arms and giving off an untouchable vibe. In contrast, Melody sat confidently across from her, completely at ease.

At that moment, Wendy had to admit defeat. Despite Melody's light makeup and simple attire reminiscent of a private school uniform, she appeared completely unruffled.

"It seems you've been doing well lately," Wendy remarked, noticing how relaxed Melody seemed with her hands folded on the table.

To Melody, the film set was an incredibly familiar territory, while Wendy was the stranger who intruded into her domain.

Wendy could not help but feel a bit smug as she casually flaunted the new designer watch on her wrist. "Aren't you going to ask me why I'm here today?" she taunted.

Melody raised an eyebrow. "You'll tell me soon enough. After all, you're the impatient one."

Wendy found Melody's calm smile irritating. She despised how Melody always pretended to be so carefree.

Unable to contain her anger any longer, Wendy angrily snatched off her sunglasses and slammed them onto the stone table.

"Huh. Stop pretending in front of me, Melody. I know you too well," she spat.

Melody raised an eyebrow. She knew Wendy could not hold back her temper for long. All she needed to do was wait, and Wendy would reveal her true colors.

"What do you know about me?" Melody asked calmly.

"What are you talking about? The deed is done. What do you mean by me pretending to be a victim?" Wendy retorted.

Melody coldly scoffed inwardly. "There's no one else here, so you can drop the act. After all these years, haven't you done enough of this kind of thing? What else can you do besides putting on a pitiful act? But it's also Ethan and Helen's fault for being so blind. They'll completely believe you as long as you turn on the waterworks."

Wendy smirked triumphantly. "Do you know why they believe me when I cry? Because they love me more. Melody, do you think I don't know what you care about the most? A shame you'll never receive love from others. You'll always envy me."

Melody would have been deeply hurt if she had heard Wendy say such things before Helen arrived. After all, it had always been an inner would she found difficult to heal. It was a wound torn open by her own parents' words. Superficially, it may have seemed to have scabbed over, but in reality, the wound had long festered.

She needed much more love to fill this void. Fortunately, she no longer needed the love of these so-called family members. She did not need to prove herself worthy through their love anymore.
