Three days had passed.

After enjoying a rejuvenating night at the Moore Residence, Melody dived headfirst into her work for YM Cosmetics. Although she had established a strong reputation in the industry, it was evident that her resources were insufficient
In addition to the necessity of setting up a factory, she faced the daunting task of researching preservation technology for her Empress Balm.
Sierra from Pharma821 recognized the hurdles Melody was encountering in her quest to launch her own pharmaceutical cosmetics line. She committed to spearheading the development of the marble box preservation technology.
However, since the marble box series was designed for the luxury skincare market, the expenses for the marble alone would not make sense without that context.
Creating this preservation technology would be a long–term project, rooted in years of intricate research conducted by royal artisans.
Understanding the scale of this undertaking, Melody decided to invest 5 million dollars into Pharma82!
Sierra hesitated to accept such a large sum, and ultimately, it was redirected to an educational fund for disadvantaged children in remote regions.
This encapsulated the philosophy behind Pharma821: to amass the wealth of the affluent, serve the nation, and nurture the future of society!
The Sylrien Orchid, which Truman cultivated, thrived well in its surroundings. Melody picked a fresh leaf and placed it in a petri dish to refine the techniques she had mastered in her previous life.
The Sylrien Orchid served to amplify the restorative properties of her rejuvenation cream.
Unfortunately, even if she succeeded in cultivating it, the limited availability of the Sylrien Orchid meant that mass production would be unfeasible.
To realize her vision, she needed to cultivate a larger quantity of Sylrien Orchids and explore new strains that could adapt more effectively to their environment.
With one task after another piling up, Melody found herself increasingly busy over these three days. Despite the whirlwind of activity, the legal letters site sent to Derrick and Suzanna arrived on schedule, inciting the Shields family to the brink of coming to the Moore Residence to confront her.
The Shields family was spiraling out of control, but Melody paid little attention to their drama.
After developing a more advanced version of the Sylrien Orchid with enhanced reparative qualities for the second generation of YM Cosmetics, her sole focus was on discovering the best ways to integrate the Sylrien Orchid into her production process.
At the Moore Residence.

Finally, after days of relentless research, Melody emerged from the underground lab, having successfully created the second generation of the “YM Rejuvenation Cream.”
Those three days in isolation had left her feeling a bit drained.
As she regained her senses, she realized it had been three days since she had last seen Edward.
Truthfully, she had been so immersed in her experiments that she hadn’t even noticed his absence.
Now that her work was complete and her mind was at ease, an unexpected sense of longing washed over her, making her miss Edward deeply. She craved the warmth of his embrace and the comfort it brought.
Additionally, in her preoccupation with her own projects, she hadn’t been there to supervise his therapeutic baths or administer his needling and massage therapies.
Their marriage had yet to be consummated.
This left her pondering whether she had truly resolved his erectile dysfunction.
It seemed like tonight would be the ideal moment to find out.
As she stepped out of the lab, she found Bernard waiting at the door. His face paled at the sight of her,
“M–Mrs. Melody… you’re finally out!” he exclaimed.
Melody arched an eyebrow, sensing trouble. “What’s going on?”
“Old Madam Moore and Mr. Alfred are here. They’re both staying at the Moore Residence tonight.
“Old Madam Moore also mentioned that you and Mr. Edward are not getting any younger. She feels it’s time for the Moores to start a family. Given Mr. Edward’s age, she expressed concern you might find him too old for your liking and suggested you might consider his brother instead
His brother referred to Alfred, naturally.
Melody raised her eyebrows, keeping her face impassive as she casually inquired, “Where’s Edward?”
“He’s in the study, currently in a meeting.”
Without hesitation, Melody turned and headed upstairs. Amid her research, she had also prepared a vitality boost pill for Edward, which had just come out of the pharmaceutical apparatus and needed to be consumed while it was still warm.
She bounded up the stairs, reaching the door of Edward’s study. As his wife, she recognized she hadn’t been particularly attentive lately, becoming too engrossed in her own matters and overlooking him.
To her surprise, Edward seemed to be handling the solitude quite well.
Quietly, she opened the door just a crack, tilting her head to peek inside, planning to give Edward a little surprise.
