Chapter 2043 Melody initially took on this role just to make money, with no intention of becoming an entertainer. As she delved into the entertainment industry, gaining insights into its true nature, she realized that her decision might alter the course of her life.
Fear crept in.
Nonetheless...

I'm already drowning in debt, and if I add a breach of contract, I'll never get out of it in this lifetime." "I've said it many times that you don't have to repay the money you owe me. As for the penalty, if you decide not to continue with this role, I'll take care of it." Melody was surprised by Lucas' words. Regardless of whether she decided to leave the production or not, she could not let Lucas bear the burden of the penalty for her. She owed him a great deal, and she could not burden him further.
"No need, Lucas. Thanks for your kindness, but I'll handle it." Melody made a decision, smiling as she spoke, "Since I promised Shaun to film this movie, I must uphold the spirit of the contract, keep my promises, and insist on making it well. Besides, War Song is a captivating project, and I don't want to give up on it just like that." "Alright." Lucas' visit was not to make her abandon the film. Since she was not intimidated and was ready to continue filming, he did not need to say much.
"Well, I'll take my leave. If you ever encounter any troubles, feel free to call me." 1 Lucas implied that the Riveras would be Melody's support should she need it. Whenever she faced insurmountable difficulties, Lucas would step in to help her.
Melody was stunned. Even though she dared not hope for Lucas to help her like this, the fact that he said it made Melody's heart feel warm. "Well, thank you, Lucas." Lucas did not linger much. After reminding her of a few things, he left.
Melody could not quite explain why, but a tiny part of her wanted to hold him back. However, knowing that his company had many matters to attend to, she did not want to inconvenience him further and just smiled as she saw him off.
Seeing Lucas off, Melody closed the door and sighed. She would still have to face these things alone in the future.
Just as she sat down on the sofa, Melody noticed Lucas' phone on the coffee table. Since he needed it for his contacts, Melody did not want to delay him. She quickly grabbed the phone and rushed out of the room.
Afraid of wasting his time, Melody stared at the changing numbers in the elevator, almost sprinting down before it even reached the ground floor. Exiting the elevator, Melody hurriedly ran outside, heading toward the hotel entrance at her fastest pace.

Just as she reached the hotel entrance, Melody stopped in her tracks, staring blankly at the scene not far away.
Lucas had not left. He stood at the ΟΠΙ entrance, holding Stella in his arms. Stella pitifully leaned against Lucas' chest, tears streaming down.
Suddenly, a very uncomfortable feeling surged within Melody.
Just a moment ago, this man stood in front of her, caring for her, assuring her that she should not worry, and he would be there for her no matter what trouble cher way. This very man was holding another woman in his arms.
