The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2563

"Why can't you forgive me just once since I'm also a victim?" said Melody.

"Huh! You're no victim. It was clearly you who seduced Lucas until he couldn't see straight. It's all because of your looks that he fell for you. Well, now that your face is ruined, it's only natural for him to leave you! Do you really think that highly of yourself? I've said it before that you don't deserve real love. Moreover, these are your mistakes. What does it have to do with me? Why should I forgive you? You need to know just how horrible life is. It's all retribution coming for you."

Melody's voice trembled as she spoke, "Can't you just let me go? Aren't you afraid you won't be able to hold your head up high in the future?"

Wendy burst into laughter. "What a joke! Do you think I care about those things anymore? I've put so much effort into bringing you here today, and I've long prepared to perish with you. Let me tell you something, if I'm going down, then you're going down with me! Why? Because I hate you. I wish nothing more than to rip you apart! You're the reason my life is ruined!

"Lucas wouldn't have asked his lawyers to go after me if you hadn't asked him to! The whole Internet knows I'm a scammer now. I've become a pariah, while you've become a rising star. I'd never let you live a happy life or become a big movie star!"

Melody quickly explained, "I never told him to do such things. Moreover, aren't your actions today just confirming what those people online have been saying? Wendy, please let me go for the sake of our bonds. Only then can you possibly reconcile with the past. Why does it have to escalate to this?"

"What is this bond you're talking about? Don't make me laugh. Accept your fate, Melody. Today marks the beginning of your downfall."

Wendy beckoned with her finger, and Dougie immediately approached eagerly like a faithful dog. "What are your orders, Miss Wendy?"

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused, Miss Melody. If possible, I wouldn't want to be in such a rundown environment either. I have no choice but to follow Miss Wendy's order. Please bear with it, and I promise I'll be gentle."

Melody curled up in the corner, desperately trying to loosen the ropes binding her hands and feet. However, despite rubbing her skin raw, she made no progress.

Her voice continued to tremble. "Your name is Dougie, right? You already have a wife and kids, so why do something like this? Have you thought about how this will affect them if they find out about it?"
