The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2440

Melody smiled softly. "I'm glad I could help everyone."

Although some people were simply taking advantage of Melody's guidance, where there was one, there was usually another. Through these interactions, people began to get to know Melody more, and they discovered that her aloof appearance did not match her true nature at all.

Many people's impressions of Melody changed subtly over time, and she found solace in being treated kindly by others. As for what Shaun said about 'taking advantage' or anything like that, she could not care less. She enjoyed acting as well as other aspects of filmmaking.

She might have considered working behind the scenes if it were not for her greater passion for the big screen. Bringing stories to life through live-action filming and then projecting them onto the big screen involved every aspect from acting to directing, and each person played a crucial role in shaping the final presentation of the film. Just like a screw on an assembly line, it took everyone's effort to make a movie. "Miss Melody, someone is looking for you."

Melody smiled serenely, allowing the makeup artist to touch up her makeup. She found it a bit odd to have someone looking for her at that moment.

'Who could it be?' she wondered. She had already informed Beatrice and Cedric earlier that she would be fully committed to the film during this time, effectively secluding herself on the set.

Although Beatrice had told Melody how much she was missing her during their phone call last night, she had not mentioned anything about coming to visit Melody on set. Melody knew very well that Beatrice was very supportive of her career.

Beatrice had always believed that women must have their own careers to earn respect from others. Apart from Beatrice and Cedric, Melody could not think of anyone else who would come looking for her. "Well then, Mister Shaun, I'll guess I'll go see who it is."

Shaun took another sip of his tea and quickly waved his hand. "Sure, go ahead. You deserve a break. You've been working tirelessly until now."

Melody walked over with a smile on her face, but she did not expect to replace Helen waiting for her there. Melody's steps slowed as she approached, only confirming when she reached her that it was indeed her mother who had come to replace her. At the same time, the smile on Melody's face faltered.

"What are you doing here?"

Helen had planned to praise her daughter, but as soon as she heard Melody's guarded tone, her expression changed immediately.

"What's up with the attitude? Can't a mother come to see her daughter? What kind of daughter are you? You're not even half as filial as Wendy. She's not even my biological daughter, yet she knows to take me to the beauty salon. But you? You just grabbed your suitcase and abandoned your family, leaving for me to clean up the mess. I don't think anyone could be more heartless than you!"

The smile completely vanished from Melody's face. "Yes, you've said I'm not a good daughter before. It's not like you didn't know that, so why do you always have to come to me to confirm it again? Why don't you just stay at home since Wendy is so nice to you? Why did you come to me? You're not welcome here."

Helen truly felt that her daughter had grown up; Melody had become so strong that she could even disregard her own mother.

"You heartless child! You wouldn't even be born into this world if it weren't for your father and me? How dare you speak to your own mother like this? It's no wonder people online say you're ruthless and heartless. It's all because your father and I didn't raise you properly!"

Melody clenched her fists and growled through gritted teeth, "What exactly did you and him teach me? Did you teach me favoritism, or did you teach me to be ruthless and heartless?"
