Tyrell feigned irritation while drying his hands, then gently pinched little Melody’s checks. “Young lady. you can’t be picky!”
Melody pouted, her rosy lips forming a delicate bow. Despite her dazed look, her puffed cheeks revealed her displeasure.
Tyrell sighed, conceding. Alright, I guess children need to cal properly.
He let her go, his tall figure quickly striding out the doar in search of eggs and milk.
Spencer, just two years old and stuck cating plain noodles for nearly a month, watched in confusion.
Am I possibly the one they’ve picked off the streets?
It must have something to do with fate.
Initially, Tyrell had fought against their circumstances, but he eventually grew to care deeply for little Melody.
Due to an experimental drug, a hallucinogen, given to her during infancy, Melody had been somewhat dazed, only following Tyrell and Martin around for snacks and food.
By the time she turned seven, Tyrell had drained his savings, barely managing to settle the final payment for the private investigator.
He arranged for surgery for Melody.
The little girl spent six months in the hospital, and finally, her clarity returned. As the days passed, her intelligence began to shine.
As Melody matured, their family faced a modest lifestyle.
Yet Tyrell and Martin worked hard to provide the best for her.
As Spencer reminisced about these moments, he thought about Melody’s princess–themed room at the Shields, the beautiful princess bed where she slept, and the collection of expensive dolls scattered around…
Yes, Melody going home is the best outcome.
It is the most favorable choice Dad could have made for her.
Being with us, who knows how many more years that rich heiress might have to endure hardships?
As he limped away from their shabby new rental, Spencer was suddenly shoved against a wall as he turned into an alley.
Heavy fists, harder than those of a professional boxer, rained down on him.

He managed to turn his head just in time to avoid a potentially deadly blow.

But his body felt as if it was falling apart; the pain was unbearable, and he couldn’t even cry out. Lifting his gaze, he caught a glimpse of someone stepping out of the shadows and gasped, “Collin‘
“What are you doing here?”
It made sense now why the bulky man seemed to target the very spot where Spencer had been injured, as if he knew precisely where to strike.
“Spencer, you recognize me?
“Since you do, hand over the cash.
“You’re just a kid; carrying ten grand isn’t safe. Give it to me, and I’ll keep it safe for you.”
In that instant, Spencer realized Collin’s intentions.
Collin clearly saw him as nothing more than a cash cow, looking to steal his hard–earned cash-
But that money was meant to buy a computer.
“No. I won’t!
Spencer was determined. At 14, he was physically ready to step into a boxing ring, and his resolve was
strong
Unfortunately, he was too hurt.
The moment he refused, Collin mercilessly shoved him to the ground, stomping hard on his knee.
Then he casually picked up a rusty, dirty screw, waving it menacingly in front of Spencer. You’re only 14, and you want to be tough with me? You’re playing with fire!
“If I jab this screw into your kneecap, you’ll be crippled for life!
“Now, do you want your money or your life?”
Collin operated in an underground boxing ring and was clearly a desperate man; he was quite skilled at intimidating a young boy.
However, he hadn’t expected to hit a brick wall this time.
Spencer tightened his grip on his bag, his trembling lips pale and chapped.
He forced out a mocking smile, his youth still unbroken by the harshness of life. “If you hurt me….
ou sooner or later!!!
“I’ll kill you
Though he hadn’t fully matured yet, he would one day!
