NovelEnglishChapter 1983 "How would I know when she debuted? Dad, I just feel like she's been plotting againstall along. She refuses to leave US alone! She'll only get more out of hand in the future if you don't put her in her place this time!" Wendy was furious. Her eyes were red, and anyone unaware might think she had truly suffered a great injustice. "Dad, I have a way to deal with her, but I don't know if you're willing to help me." Ethan looked at her doubtfully. "What's your plan?" "It's..." Wendy approached Ethan and shared her plan with him.
After a moment, Ethan nodded and permitted her to carry out the plan.
Melody was dining with Sherman at a restaurant near their old high school. They reflected on the old days, so the mealtwas very enjoyable.

After the meal, Sherman offered to drive Melody home. However, she declined again.
"Sorry, Sherman. I know you mean well, but Lucas doesn't likegetting too close to other guys. It might lead to another round of misunderstanding if he sees US together. I'll just take a taxi home," she explained.
Sherman did not insist further. He went with her to get a taxi and watched her leave before walking alone to the entrance of the high school.
As Sherman took in the familiar sights of the campus, a swirl of emotions tugged at his heart.
'Is it really impossible to undo those missed chances?' wondered Sherman.
Melody took a taxi back home, only to find Lucas waiting for her in the living room with a stern expression. Why is he back today?' Melody wondered curiously.
She was not quite used to him being at home, so she walked in slowly. " Lucas? How cyou're back today?" "Where were you?" asked Lucas in a terrifyingly cold voice.

"I just went out for a stroll. What's the matter?" Melody nonchalantly took a seat on the sofa.
Lucas stared at her coldly as if trying to see through her. "Melody, I'll ask you again. Where did you go?" His piercing gaze sent a shiver down Melody's spine. She instinctively looked away, stammering, "I... I really just went out for a stroll. What's the big deal?" "Alright, then." Lucas scoffed coldly and tossed the iPad in front of Melody.

The screen displayed news featuring her and Sherman with the headline, [ Scandal Unveiled: President of Renowned Ad Agency in an Inappropriate Relationship with Ad Spokesperson!] Melody's pupils widened in shock as she scrolled down. The online comments were harsh, to say the least. [Who is this sl*tty spokesperson? No wonder she got such an amazing job opportunity right from the start!] [Ah. It's because she has powerful allies.] [How dare she use that kind of connection to climb up and snatch others' opportunities? Well, countout from buying anything she endorses in the future!] [I heard the original spokesperson wasn't her. The sudden switch must be because of these connections!] "What... What's going on? Who took these pictures?" Melody looked up at Lucas in panic. "Lucas, please don't believe this! It's not what it seems. Letexplain..."
"The photos are pretty clear. What's there to explain? I only haven't been hfor a few days, yet you can't even keep in innyodaye ver it your pants for that long?" Lucas had no patience for Melody's explanations. He stood up to leave.
"Lucas! Wait..." Melody threw down the iPad and hurriedly grabbed his hands. "It's not what you think. The pictures are misleading. Sherman and I didn't do anything! I just... I just went to shoot an ad for his company!" X
