Derrick glanced back at the room Melody had just left and told his assistant to gather information.

“Mr. Shield, she just had a meeting with the embroidery master, Lily Campbell. She’s also Zac’s mother.
“They signed a contract, but the contents are unknown. It was drafted by Griffin Group’s private legal team, so it’s top secret.”
Derrick paused for a moment. “Got it.”
For some reason, as he passed Melody earlier, an odd sense of loss crept over him, as though something had long slipped away from his grasp.
He walked into the room Melody had just vacated and noticed the tea set on the table.
The faint scent of tea still lingered–familiar yet elusive.
Curiously, he bent down and opened the teapot
Some tea remained, and its fragrance was more intense now.
He picked up a fresh cup, ready to pour himself a taste.
At the Shield Residence, he had tried to replicate this scent, even instructing the butler to collect morning rose dew to brew tea, but the flavor always eluded him.
Today, it felt within reach.
Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen–it was Timothy.
He answered, and as the conversation unfolded, his expression darkened.
“I’ll go to the hospital right now!”
Derrick frowned and dropped the teacup, rushing to his car.
At the hospital, Timothy and Carson paced anxiously in the hallway, their clothes stained with blood.
Carson’s face was bruised, while Gary sat silently at the far end of the corridor expressionlessly, his face covered in scars.
Derrick soon arrived and was taken aback by the scene.

“What happened? Is Suzie in critical condition?”
The normally composed Derrick was now tense
“Did you guys say… Melody hit Suzic?”

Gary, who was silent in the corner, added the details, “Elana started it. She slapped Suzanna first, pinning her down!”
Compared to that, Mel went easy on her.
“Tim, have you contacted Dad and Mom?”
Derrick’s expression darkened, and his tie loosened in frustration. Even in this chaos, he maintained a sharp, controlled presence.
After hitting Suzanna, Melody still managed to sit down and have tea. How heartless could she be?
“Yes, I have. They’re on their way.
“But listen, don’t make any moves against Melody. The Moore and Griffin families are protecting her now. She’s not the same docile girl we used to know.”
Timothy punched the wall in anger, his hand bursting open, but he seemed numb to the pain.
When Sean and Christina arrived, they were distraught.
“Melody? It’s Melody again! I should’ve killed her when she was born!” Christina spat, consumed by rage.
“So what if the Moore family is protecting her? How long can that crippled, disfigured Edward protect her?” She fumed, preparing to confront Melody, but Gary held her back.
“Mom, calm down!
‘Do you think Suzanna is innocent? She’s been lying, stealing, and hurting people! She deserves it!”
The next moment, Sean stormed forward and slapped Gary, silencing the corridor. Sean, his lips trembling and eyes bloodshot, stared at Gary’s scarred face in disbelief. His fist tightened, and the slap left his palm burning, but he showed no regret.
He scolded, “Suzie is your sister! She’s kind–hearted and the Shield family’s lucky star. She
