The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2312

"Grandpa, please stop Grandma from going in. I'll go in."

Lucas frowned. He made sure his grandparents did not follow, then took the flashlight from them and headed into the forest.

"Melody? Melody?!"

Thalia secretly laughed when she saw them arguing because of Melody.

'Finally! Lucas should've realized that Melody was a troublemaker a long time ago! Since the day they got together, Lucas had been cleaning up after her messes. How could a woman like that be a suitable match for him?' she thought smugly but then met Beatrice's sharp gaze.

Beatrice was not a pushover like Melody. She took a few steps forward and bluntly exposed Thalia's facade.

"Miss Thalia, I advise you to consider leaving my family right away. We don't welcome manipulative women like you! If you don't want things to get ugly between us, think carefully about what I said to you that afternoon."

Cedric stood behind Beatrice, showing his support for her.

Thalia was simply not suitable to be with Lucas. She was young, but she had quite a cunning mind.

A gust of cold wind blew, causing Thalia to shiver and clutch her arms pitifully.

"Grandma Beatrice, what are you talking about? Why are you trying to drive me away like this? I know you've never liked me, but just because you don't like me doesn't mean I'm a manipulative woman. Lucas has known me for so many years, so he understands what kind of person I am. Plus, not only are you belittling me, but you're also questioning Lucas' judgment."

"Don't bring Lucas into this! I've watched him grow up, so I know him better than anyone. He knows full well that you're the type who says one thing in front of others but does another thing when the others' backs are turned, but he chooses not to confront you because of your sister!"

Thalia bit her lip pitifully. "I know I can't change your rigid impression of me. Since that's the case, I won't force it anymore. Actually, I came out with them today to discuss moving out. You don't need to worry about seeing me at home, and I won't do anything to annoy you anymore. But I hope that after I move out, you can treat me objectively.

"Just because I have a close relationship with Lucas doesn't mean I'm a manipulative woman. I know you prefer Melody, but I haven't done anything wrong..."

"Nothing wrong?" Beatrice laughed bitterly. "If you hadn't done anything wrong, why are we still standing here in this forest when it's nearly nightfall? If you hadn't done anything wrong, why hasn't Melody been found yet?

"I'll warn you one last time: don't play these manipulative games anymore. If you want to move out, just move out! Don't test my patience! In fact, instead of moving out of our home, I'd rather see you fly straigh back to Molomia and never show your face in this country again!"

What difference would moving out make? Beatrice would prefer Thalia to disappear from her sight altogether. Even if Lucas were to fly to Molomia several times a year in the future, it would still be better than her staying in the country for a long time.

Thalia was so angry that she was trembling, partly because of the cold and partly because of genuine fury.

'Why the hell is this old lady so harsh on me? What did I ever do to offend her? Why doesn't she like me at all?'
