Andrew anticipated a strong reaction from Melody. He simply gazed into the distance and said with weight. “Ms. Tucker, given your current strength, knowledge can be a double–edged sword. When the time is right, he will come to you. However, YM Capital is about to face another setback, and this one might be devastating…”
Melody wanted to press for more information, but Andrew offered no further explanation and left with the signed documents
In that instant, she felt the weight of her own limitations. She needed to push herself further!
Her mind raced as she resumed sifting through the papers for Dream Entertainment, but then, a shadow
fell across her.
A familiar scent enveloped her, mingled with a disconcerting metallic odor.
She looked up to find Carson standing at her desk, his expression tense as he fixed his gaze
Seeing her glance up, he seemed momentarily flustered.
He gulped hard, his throat tightening, his voice shaky and hoarse. “M–Mel.
“I’m about to go to prison. Can you can you call me Brother one last time?

He recognized that this request was far too much given the circumstances.
Yet, he couldn’t shake the hope. Perhaps, deep down, he knew the truth.
After this moment, he might never hear that sweet, soft voice calling him “Brother” again.
That was why he desperately wanted to hear it one final time.
Sweat dripped from his palm as he gripped it tightly, bracing himself for the worst.

his
That was the breaking point
for Suzanna
Tears welled in her eyes, spilling down her checks like pearls from a broken string, her voice weak and imploring.
“Carson, Carson! Don’t you care about me anymore?
Carson didn’t halt, his dejected figure swaying as two court staff members assisted him out.
Suzanna, actions have consequences:
“You’d better watch out.”
Hearing what Carson said and watching him ignore her. Christina scoffed, “Carson, you’ve been cursed! Your sister did nothing wrong!
“It’s Melody who doesn’t know to share and acts aggressively toward her own!”
Then she turned to comfort Suzanna. “Suzie, don’t worry; Derrick won’t abandon you. Remember, he’s the top lawyer in Sommerville.”
Derrick’s brow furrowed, feeling overwhelmed as frustration simmered within him, lingering long after.
