That’s quite the unexpected role.
Melanie shot Alfred a sharp look, a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

“Well, your brother’s got himself quite the powerful wife. Let them run the family in the future!” she said.
“And what about you?
“Are you going to get sent abroad by your grandfather again, missing all the holidays without even seeing your own mother?”
Three years ago, after Edward was left crippled in a plane crash, Alfred had been sent abroad without a chance to explain himself.
It left everyone thinking Alfred had wronged his brother and fled out of guilt.
Melanie had endured that injustice for three long years
Now that her son had returned, just as he was ready to challenge the mysterious Edward, he found his brother had a wife who was deeply favored by the family patriarch.
Was her son about to lose everything again?
Alfred responded casually, “Doesn’t Dad like Melody as his daughter–in–law?
“If she had married me, Edward wouldn’t have that support anymore.”
Melanie looked up in surprise, then, realizing what he meant, kicked him lightly and scolded, “Get your head straight.
“Stop messing with your brother!”
Alfred spread his hands with a helpless sigh, stretching lazily. “This isn’t allowed, that isn’t allowed…
“Mom, you’re not starting to feel sorry for Edward, are you?”
Melanie raised an eyebrow and swatted Alfred’s backside with her fan.
“I must’ve done something terrible in a past life to end up with such a troublemaker for a son!” she said with frustration.
“Your grandfather banished you for three years, and now you’ve
She added, “Edward may be doing well now, but remember, he‘ not going to look after me …

Alfred caught the embroidery fan with a grin, handing it back to his mother with exaggerated respect, his dark eyes twinkling with amusement.

“Mom, you can’t just say things like that,” he said playfully.
“Edward never said he wouldn’t take care of you once he inherits the family business.”
Melanie, however, was not amused. Other people’s sons are born to repay kindness, she thought.
My son? He seems born to make me suffer!
Back in school, Alfred had never matched up to Edward.
In business, he could not compete either.

Even when given a cushy position as deputy general manager, thanks to connections, he had managed to tank the company.
When it came to the idea of fighting for the family inheritance, Melanie had her doubts,
If he tried, swould he end up ruining the entire family? She wondered, her gaze at Alfred turning to mild disdain.
Finally, she shut her eyes, fanning herself angrily, and snapped, “If all else fails, just go steal Melody and make her my daughter–in–law–that would be a real achievement!”
Alfred thought, Seriously, Mom’s imagination is wild.

Outside Regal Glade, Timothy’s face was pale.
After Suzanna was declared out of danger and his mother fainted, he still felt compelled to apologize to Melody in person.
Since she had been blocking his calls, showing up was his only option.
Before arriving at Regal Glade, he had gone to the Moore Residence, where the guards mentioned that Gary had also tried visiting Melody, but she had refused to forgive him.
Timothy had been planning to wait.
However, after overhearing the bodyguards gossiping, he tuned into Tomato Live Broadcast to watch the live stream of LilyRises.
Watching the stream, he admired Melody’s impressive rea–making skills but grew increasingly angry as he saw Percy and Amanda bullying her.
His frustration peaked–he wanted to rush to her side and defend her but was stopped at the gate.
Standing at the entrance of Regal Glade, Timothy took a deep breath and called out to the gatekeeper, “I’m Melody’s brother, Timothy Shield! My sister is being bullied in there–let me in!
“She needs me right now!”
