+10 From Cons
In that moment, Kenrick felt an overwhelming disappointment in Melody, the kind–hearted girl he had once cherished and profected.
Why had she become so cruel after returning to the Shields, bullying her own sister at every turn?
As he stared at his phone screen, watching Melody in the live broadcast, the hopeful filter he once had over his memories of her kindness shattered piece by piece.
Was her face now as ugly as her heart had become?
He pondered this, suppressing the pain that flickered in his eyes.
His feelings for Melody had always been complicated.
Had the protection he and Martin offered her spoiled her character, making her lawless?
If he was the root of her problems, then it was even more essential for him to convince her directly.
Derrick’s handsome face concealed an undeniable weariness,
He was exhausted.
Derrick had thought the issues surrounding the detention were behind them, yet here was Melody, embroiling herself in yet another mess and harming Suzanna again.
He knew he had to pay the Moores a visit and hold Melody accountable for her actions,
With this thought, Derrick’s narrow eyes lowered slightly, a chill creeping into his gaze.
He gently bent his back and picked up Suzanna, cradling her in his arms. Derrick spoke softly as if afraid that a loud word might startle the fragile girl.
“Suzie, Melody needs to explain this incident involving the luxury product to you and the public.
“Don’t worry: I’ll take you to see her!
“This time, the evidence is clear. I’m curious how she’ll try to wriggle out of this one.”
A serious atmosphere enveloped Derrick; his thoughts were dark and ominous.
He found it hard to discern whether he was obsessed with the idea of confronting Melody, who had shattered his reputation in the political world, or if he genuinely wanted to defend Suzanna.
Both sisters were equally important to him.
Yet he felt a stronger bond of trust toward Suzanna.
How could he possibly favor a sister who had only been back to the Shields for four years over one he had watched grow up?

Furthermore, the deterioration of Suzanna’s scar was partly his fault.
He shouldn’t have beliefed the rumors and spent a formone on that dubious beauty cream, which ultimately harmed Suge.
Since he had made a mistake, he must do everything in his power to make amends.
Regal Glade.
Melody felt the red welts spreading across her face. In an instant, her beauty faded, resembling the allergic reaction she had experienced while testing drugs for Cineron in the past.
She remembered it all too well.
That time, it was due to an herb mixed with Cacroce, aspice unlike any other.
Its appearance was similar to tea leaves, and its scent was faint, almost tasteless.
Many people easily mistook it and accidentally mixed it into their tea cakes.
The tea paste, which blended tea together, made it even more challenging to identify Cacroce.
Moreover, this herb had a unique ability to smooth the tea’s texture.
While difficult to discern, Melody was extremely sensitive to allergens.
Almost the moment the tea paste was presented, he sensed something was off.
She deliberately glanced at Amanda, who appeared calin and composed. Then, it clicked.
This Cacroce was aimed directly at her.
Amanda had just returned to the country; how could she know about her allergy to Cacroce?
Few people, even among the Shields, knew that secret.
After all, they had never truly cared about her.
Aside from the Tuckers, only Carson and Suzanna knew about her allergy
Carson was still in detention.
Rumors were circulating that Suzanna had already applied for medical leave
Melody’s gaze darkened, a hint of shadow passing through her eyes as she forced herself to maintain her
composure,
The red welts crawled across her skin, but she remained calm..
She was ready for this performance.

At this point, she would let them set the stage and start their little showdown.
As Amanda finished her questioning. Edward, Alfred, and Truman all stood up simultaneously, stridin
purposefully toward Melody.
Even Melanie, who had been lounging elegantly on the chaise, couldn’t hide her surprise and concern.
She straightened in her seat.
At first, she felt compelled to hurry over. Melanie paused when the others were rushing toward Melody.
She regained her composure and assumed her position as the mistress of the house.
Yet her eyes, bright and expressive, couldn’t help but dart toward Melody.
Upon seeing the horrifying red welts on the girl’s face, he felt a pang of sympathy.
She bemused.
What a shame for such a lovely girl to suffer like this. Isn’t she being a bit careless?
From the sight of it, it must be very itchy.
Furrowing her brow, she waved over a woman around 50 years old with serious demeanor.
This was one of the Lamberts, who had accompanied Melanie when she married into the Moores.
