The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1919

After snapping out of her shock, Melody was compelled to question Chloe.

As Melody got closer, Chloe started stepping back and accidentally fell to the ground. "Miss Melody, I... I didn't mean to tattle on you, but since Mister Cedric and Miss Beatrice are this sick, I have no choice but to tell Mister Lucas what I've seen!"

Melody looked at Chloe, who still was on the floor, with a frown on her face. "Just what are you trying to achieve by throwing baseless accusations at me?"

Chloe looked away. She put on a frightened look of almost being on the verge of tears as she shuffled closer to Lucas.

Lucas glared at Melody. "Speak! Why did you want to harm my grandparents?"

It was then Melody understood that he had chosen to trust Chloe over her.

It was understandable, considering one was a maid who had been part of their household for many years, while the other was a relatively unknown woman he had just met.

It was clear whom Lucas would believe.

In the past, Melody might have quietly endured the situation. However, from the moment she decided to leave her family, she had sworn not to let herself go through unnecessary pain anymore.

No one in this world could ever make her endure injustice.

"I hope you'll stick to whatever charade you have now, Chloe. You claimed I drugged Grandpa and Grandma, but I can prove I'm innocent!" said Melody.

Melody turned to Lucas. "The pot I used to cook breakfast today is one I brought from my home. Before using it, I made sure to clean all the utensils myself, and no one else laid a finger on what I touched."

"Mister Lucas, I just remembered. Mandy asked me to go back and get some clothes for Mister Cedric and Miss Beatrice. I need to hurry back and fetch them."

Lucas responded with a nod, and Chloe immediately headed toward the elevator.

As Chloe left the hospital, she hailed a taxi, and rushed back in the direction of Rivera's residence.

Melody saw through Chloe's tricks immediately and pulled Lucas along. "Mister Lucas, I didn't put anything in the breakfast, but I know my words alone won't be enough. This has to do with Chloe. She's definitely rushing back to destroy evidence. If you don't believe me, let's quietly follow her and see what she's up to."

Lucas looked at Melody skeptically. He could not quite believe that Chloe, who had been a longtime servant in their home, would harm her own employers. It just did not make any sense.
