The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2555

Wendy stopped eating and placed the bowl to one side. She seized Melody's hair forcefully and yanked her closer.

"Ah!" Melody winced as pain shot through her scalp.

"You think you're so great, don't you?" Wendy's voice dripped with contempt. "Who are you to offer me that money? How much do you have, huh? Why are you so pretentious?"

Wendy detested Melody's air of superiority, especially as Melody continued to cling to her aloofness despite being kidnapped.

"Let me go," Melody pleaded with tears welling in her eyes after her hair had been tugged.

"Hahaha! Sure, but you need to beg me first!" Wendy demanded.

"I beg you! Please, Wendy, let me go!" Melody's voice quivered with desperation.

Unsure of when they would discover her absence, Melody swallowed her pride and begged Wendy to try and buy Lucas some time to find her.

Melody found Lucas years of hardship later, and he became her pillar of love and support. The thought of him made her clench her fists, and she was determined to escape even if it was for his sake.

Melody's tone softened, and a hint of sorrow tinged her voice. "I owe you nothing when my mother never loved me in the first place, Wendy. Hasn't Helen always treated you well?"

"Helen's kindness to me is pointless if it's all fake!" Wendy's eyes welled with tears. "She's just pretending! She's only doing this because she's afraid of being labeled an evil stepmother! That's all there is to it."
