The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Lucas frowned. He was about to say something, but Melody gently stopped him by shaking her head. She then turned coldly to face Helen and Ethan.

"Yes, I've met a wealthy man, and that's why I don't think of you two as my parents anymore. Don't forget, we severed our ties long ago. You've already taken three million dollars from me, so you two have no right to stand here and lecture me!"

"Why you!" Ethan could not believe Melody would be so ungrateful. He erupted in anger. "No wonder you're so arrogant now, Melody. You found a stupid man outside to support you! Let me tell you: it's fine if you don't have any sense of shame, but you should not ruin our family's reputation! Now you've even landed your sister in jail. What are your intentions? Is it that you want to destroy our family completely?" Helen quickly placed a hand on his chest to soothe him. "Honey, don't get worked up. It's not worth ruining your health for this ungrateful girl."

She then turned back to glare at Melody, resentment evident in her eyes. "Apologize to your dad this instant, you ungrateful girl! Our family would've been able to live peacefully if it weren't for you. It's all your fault. There's never been a single day of peace in our home ever since you were born! Now you've harmed your sister, I really wish..."

"Really wish what? Really wish to strangle me, right? You think I want to be your daughter? Being born as your daughter is the unluckiest thing that ever happened to me! You're not the only one who thinks I shouldn't have been born. I wish I didn't have you as my mother as well!"
