The arrival of Sierra brought a shift in the atmosphere at the tea banquet, catching the attention of many prominent professors and elites, their expressions gradually becoming more complicated.
They had never expected that Melody, a mere substitute bride who seemed weak and unassuming, had such powerful backing. With Truman shielding her, Melanie supporting her, and her own husband firmly by her side, she was far from defenseless.
Not to mention her impressive skills; her mastery in the tea competition was nothing short of extraordinary. The Jensons, who prided themselves on their refined and traditional values, found
prowess. themselves utterly overwhelmed by her
Even the skincare line that appeared to be just another off–brand cosmetic was actually a meticulously developed product created in collaboration with Pharma821.
With this in mind, no one would underestimate this seemingly delicate girl who held so much power beneath the surface.
Sierra wasn’t alone in her quest.
Behind her stood a group of over ten professors, all dressed in white lab coats, the backbone of Pharma821’s research team.
Noticing that Suzanna had fallen silent, Sierra continued coldly, “Since Ms. Hypocrite is unwilling to present your evidence, I can directly extract samples from your face, which would be much clearer.
“Since we’re extracting from your face, I’ll also take samples from all those influencers whose skin has suffered because of YM Cosmetics. It’s only fair,” she added.
“We won’t end up with different samples from those who claim to have used the same products, leaving room for doubt.”
Sierra’s professionalism was evident as she spoke. The members of Pharma821 immediately moved into the crowd of troublemakers, extracting samples from the scars on each person’s face.
Suzanna’s complexion turned pale, instinctively trying to shrink away.
Suddenly, Derrick’s brow furrowed in concern and seized her wrist.
The protective demeanor Derrick had always shown her was now clouded with unease, as if a weight of worry had settled between his brows.
Looking down at her, his voice became hoarse, barely more than a whisper. “Suzie, you need to cooperate with Professor Shepherd during the evidence collection”
This wasn’t a matter of distrust; it was the sheer number of coincidences that triggered Derrick’s instincts
to replay the past events in his mind. as a lawyer, prompting him

Derrick had not been present at that time and had been unaware of the details, but he had later learned that Suzanna hadn’t created any financial plan herself; instead, she had taken credit for Melody’s hard work.
All these instances filled him with doubt he didn’t want to face.
He yearned to protect the innocent and kind–hearted Suzanna in his heart, hoping she could live her life free of worries and the pain that had plagued her for too long.
He wanted her to live long enough until the day when her heart condition might worsen to the point of no
return.
Their family sheltered Suzanna, not wanting her to suffer regrets, fearing the day she might pass away from her heart condition without having fully experienced the beauty of the world.
So everyone unconsciously doted on her, nurturing and protecting her.
They also compelled Melody, who was healthy and vibrant, to accommodate Suzanna’s every whim.
But at that moment, as Derrick watched Suzanna trying to hide behind him, she suddenly felt like a stranger to him.
No, it had to be his exhaustion playing tricks on him.
Suzanna simply wasn’t used to strangers being this close
He tried to calm his racing thoughts but still firmly pulled Suzanna forward, insisting she cooperate w the sampling.
With a serious and earnest tone, he admonished her, “Suzie, don’t act out. We must find out if there’s a problem with YM Cosmetics!
“This is not just for you; it’s for the innocent consumers and the reputation of our family,” he added.
Derrick was stubborn, torn between disbelief that he could have been so wrong and his growing desire to uncover the truth.

e comments flooded in.
“Can you believe this?! Melody just had an allergic reaction to Cacroce, and the tea paste she threw at Derrick made him break out as well. Doesn’t that just prove they’re blood relatives?”
“Tsk! Tsk! If Melody isn’t the Shields‘ adopted daughter why have they taken so long to acknowledge her? They haven’t even changed her last name! It’s difficult to imagine how precarious her position has been all these years within the Shields.”

promoting a sibling image with Carson. Suzanna was the darling princess, while Melody was just the adopted one. It’s infuriating! Why should the Shields treat Mel this way?”
“Suzanna’s malice isn’t new. She slandered Melody during the Golden Financial Summit and later implicated her in the plagiarism lawsuit. I wouldn’t be surprised if this issue with YM Cosmetics was just another scheme of hers.
In the entertainment industry, Suzanna had dabbled in fame and once ranked among the newest rising
stars.
Her fan group, Moon Begonia, had once been a formidable force on Twitter.
