In that moment, Carson, who had been quiet and filled with despair, turned to Christina and rasped, “I did! 

it! 

“It has nothing to do with Melody.” 

Carson’s eyes clouded over, an overwhelming sense of powerlessness enveloping him like a heavy fog. 

Christina hesitated, shock washing over her as she looked at Carson. 

She knew her children inside and out. 

Among his five brothers, Carson had always been the most lenient with Suzanna, showering her with affection and shielding her from any difficulties. 

The very thought that he could ever harm Suzanna seemed as absurd as believing in flying pigs. 

“Carson, you don’t need to protect Melody. 

“We all know how cruel-” 

Christina found it hard to wrap her mind around this, but then the courtroom erupted with a resounding slap. 

The sound echoed sharply! 

In the next moment, an identical mark appeared on the opposite side of Suzanna’s face, perfectly symmetrical. 

Melody had small hands. 

She couldn’t possibly create such a bruise. 

The reality was painfully clear, leaving Christina no choice but to accept it! 

“Ha! 

“Mom, do you finally believe me? 

“If you don’t, I’ll hit her again!” 

Carson’s expression darkened, a surge of anguish piercing his heart, as if it were being carved and hammered. 

Yet, as he recalled the slap, a twisted sense of satisfaction flickered within him … 

He was truly losing his grip on reality! 

“Ahhhh! Suzie!”

Christina cried out as she rushed to Suzanna, whose cheeks were red and swollen, tears shimmering in her 

eyes. 

“Don’t be scared, Suzie. I’m here; no one can hurt you.” 

With fierce protectiveness, Christina shielded Suzanna behind her. 

Looking at Carson’s pale and sorrowful face, concern tugged at her, but she shouted, “Carson, have you lost your mind? 

“I watched the live stream! It’s just a stupid album–why would you turn on your own sister? 

“Suzie cared for you; she gave it to you because she wanted to help. What’s wrong with that? 

“Melody played that silly piano piece, and you mistook it for Suzie’s. Suzie simply didn’t know how to explain herself! 

“You were the one who misunderstood, and now that the truth is out, you still have the nerve to point fingers?” 

Christina’s expression darkened as she pressed him, each word aimed at defending Suzanna, redirecting all the blame onto Carson. 

Carson stared at her, disbelief settling in as he realized she was willing to push all the blame onto him to protect Suzanna. 

In this case, no matter the verdict, if Carson admitted that it was all his fault, Suzanna would escape unscathed. 

“Mom, it’s true that I was mistaken initially! 

“But she stole the lead track of the ‘Surge‘ album-” 

Carson felt trapped, his gaze growing heavy as he inhaled deeply, ready to explain. 

But Christina interrupted him sharply, “You just admitted you were mistaken. 

“That makes it your issue! 

“You’re Suzie’s brother. If she messes up, part of that falls on you for not guiding her better. You should always stand up for her, not doubt her. 

“She’s your sister; as her brother, you should support her and do everything you can to make things right for her!” 

Carson felt numb. 

In that moment, he finally grasped the position Melody had found herself in with the Shields for the past four years, where everyone expected her to submit without question and prioritize Suzanna. 

But did Suzanna truly deserve such treatment?
