Chapter 169 Good Luck
Regardless of the lawyer’s strategies for appealing or securing bail, the consequences would take time to unfold.
Christina and Suzanna were destined for prison, and there was no avoiding that reality.
The two women were handcuffed and led away by the staff, first heading toward the holding facility.
Before they departed, Christina cast a fiery glare at Melody, her eyes blazing with resentment.
“Melody, you’ve humiliated your own mother; you’ll regret this.
“Once I’m inside, do you honestly believe your dad and grandma will let you off easy?”
Melody shrugged her delicate shoulders, her expression indifferent as a smirk formed on her lips..
“Oh? Mrs. Shield, are you trying to intimidate me?
“It looks like you’re afraid you’d feel bored in prison and want to bring your husband and mo–in–law
along. You’re such a devoted daughter–in–law and caring wife!”
Her words dripped with sarcasm, her eyes devoid of warmth.
Any affection she had for Christina had long since faded, extinguished by the constant favoritism shown. toward Suzanna.
“How dare… you…”
Christina was so enraged that she struggled to catch her breath, her face draining of color as she pressed a hand to her chest.
Concerned, Suzanna rushed forward, her tear–stained face softening as she attempted to comfort her mother.
“Mom, don’t let it get to you.
“Mel was just feeling low. I shouldn’t have given the album’s theme song to Carson…
“But back then, she really loved Carson; all five theme songs were written for him. It’s unfortunate… I shouldn’t have helped her, allowing Carson to misunderstand for all these years.
“Now Carson blames me; what do we do?”
Suzanna spoke tentatively.
Once the judge left the courtroom, the live stream had already been cut off.
Her words wouldn’t reach many now, especially since the most crucial person, Carson, had already departed.
In front of Christina, she had to uphold her role as the misunderstood victim.

Christina quickly seized on this, turning her gaze toward Melody and questioning, “That theme song was clearly intended for Carson, and it was just Suzanna who delivered it, causing Carson to misunderstand.
That’s all.
“You threw him into jail over something so minor, ruining his life?”
Melody rolled her eyes. “Ignorance is a form of illness, and nothing can save a stupid person.
“Good luck.”
Meanwhile, Derrick was overwhelmed.
He was constantly darting back and forth between prison and the law firm, all while needing to visit the bank to withdraw funds.
Carson had made a considerable amount as a top star over the years, but his expenses were leaving him with only tens of millions saved up.

Even if he drained his accounts to cover his penalties this time, it still wouldn’t be sufficient.
Derrick had to dip into his own savings to fill the gaps, barely managing to hold everything together.
Although he had resolved most of the financial issues, he still needed to secure funds for both Derrick and. Suzanna’s sentences.
After a whirlwind of dealings, his headache intensified.
The seven days of Christina’s detention passed in a blu
Derrick personally came to escort her out, supporting her as they walked.
‘Derrick, where’s your dad?
“After everything that’s happened, why hasn’t he come to get me? Does he even consider me his wife?
“It’s been a whole week; who knows what Suzie has endured in there. Aren’t you a top lawyer? Why haven’t you gotten your sister out yet?”
Freshly released from the detention center, Christina was seething, desperate to unleash her frustrations.
Derrick frowned, his persistent headache worsening from lack of sleep, but he remained patient as he explained to Christina.
Mom, Dad’s on a business trip abroad; he should be back soon.
