The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2530

"What?" Thalia looked up, surprised by Melody's sudden question. Melody seized the opportunity to ask further.

"Why are you so insistent that Grandma fell by herself? Did you see something you're not telling us?"

Thalia quickly changed her demeanor to one of apparent grievance.

"I didn't see anything. I just think Grandma Beatrice is old, and I know we all don't want this kind of accident to happen, but that's just life. I also know Lucas listens to you now, so whatever I say, you both think it's wrong. I'm fine with that, but it's also precisely because he listens to you that you should advise him. Or do you really want him to keep worrying like this?"

"Is that so? Is that what you think?" asked Melody.

There was no way Melody would be easily fooled by Thalia, given their past history. She had already suspected Thalia, but she could not say anything since she did not have any evidence yet. After all, Thalia might take it as Melody causing trouble for her.

Lucas touched Melody's hand lightly. "Let it go. It's more important to replace evidence now. If we can't, we'll just have to wait for Grandma to wake up."

"Grandma will wake up," Melody said confidently, looking at Lucas as she spoke.

Lucas felt his own resolve strengthened with her assurance.

"You two should go back now since we've searched through the surveillance footage and found nothing. It'd be pointless for you two to continue sacrificing your sleep," Lucas said firmly. Quinn remained silent throughout, keeping her head lowered, lost in thought.

Thalia still wanted to stay, but this time, Lucas would not let her. "I'll have the driver take you back. It's not convenient for you to stay here. I'll contact you if we need your help."

As they sat in the driver's car, Thalia still appeared agitated while Quinn leaned against the car door, gazing out the window lost in thought.

"I said I wanted to stay. Why didn't you speak up for me?" Thalia demanded.

Only then did Quinn turn to look at her. "Can't you see that Lucas and Melody both don't want you to stay?"

"Ha! Who do

you think

you are?

What do you know? Lucas didn't mean that at all. It's just not convenient to say it out loud. After all these years, I understand him better than anyone else. So who are you to speculate on his intentions? If it weren't for you, I'd be able to stay there. It's all because of you that I can't. I regret bringing you along. You're nothing but bad luck."

Quinn chuckled instead of getting angry. "Ha, I'm bad luck? Well, I

guess I am..But I wonder who it was begging me to come before so that I can be used as an excuse. So now I've become your burden? Oh Thalia, sometimes I wonder if you have a heart."

Thalia did not answer Quinn. Instead, she questioned why Quinn had spoken up to deny her earlier statement.

"I've warned you before! Don't say all those ambiguous things in front of them. Why did you even question me like that in the first place? Do you really think Grandma Beatrice's fall has something to do with me?"

Quinn remained silent until they got out of the car, and after the driver left, she turned to look at Thalia. "Do you not know why I said that?was trying to save you. Don't you ealize you're being too obvious?"
