Even though Suzanna tried to talk her out of it, Melody was determined to ‘escape‘ from the Shields to see Martin. In the process, she accidentally pushed Suzana into a ditch while trying to get away.
At that moment, Sean felt a sinking feeling in his stomach.
He recalled seeing Suzanna with the photos Melody had left behind in her room.
They showed Melody and Martin together.
In those photos, Melody looked strong and cheerful, leaning against the tall Martin like a little kitten being
cared for.
Sean had always thought he was good to Melody, giving her a monthly allowance of 300,000, but he had never witnessed her looking so relaxed and happy with him.
In that instant, he felt that Melody’s behavior stung him deeply.
It felt like she was accusing him of being an inadequate father, which made him feel sick.
Out of curiosity, Sean stepped into Suzanna’s room and started looking through the photos one by one,
They captured 13 years of Melody’s life, from when she was three until she turned 16–a time he had never shared with her.
He was taken aback when Suzanna hurriedly grabbed the photos from him, trying to hide them nervously,
Flustered, she said, “D–Dad, what are you doing here? These photos belong to Mel. She only asked me to keep them safe. P–please, don’t get the wrong idea…
Sean frowned.
They were just some sibling photos. Why would there be anything to hide?
As a businessman, he was quite cunning, and he had sheltered Suzanna too well, so her innocence was evident on her face.
It was clear she couldn’t keep secrets from him.
When she told him not to get the wrong idea, it triggered a worrying thought in his mind, causing his heart to sink.
Despite giving Melody a generous monthly allowance and bringing her back to the Shields to live a better life, she still wore those faded dresses she had bought from outside and wouldn’t throw them away.
What could be going on here?
He had brought Melody home to give her a good life, not to allow her to be influenced by those with lesser
means.

So, Sean adopted a stern fatherly attitude, snatched the photos from Suzanna’s grasp, and threw them. onto the floor.

Chapter 294 He Has a Bad Opinion of Them
One image displayed the two of them together–Melody in a white dance dress and Martin in a black short his eyes revealing a soft and indulgent look.
It felt inappropriate to Sean.
“Suzie, I know you and Mel get along well, and you ward to protect Mel’s relationship with me. But you
need to be honest.
“I can help your sister stay on the right path and prevent her from making choices that could ruin her
future.
“I can see that Martin has plans to bring Melody back, intending to become my live–in son–in–lo. Is he even worthy of that?
“A poor commoner shouldn’t be allowed to tarnish the name of the Shielde
No matter what choices Melody made, she was still his daughter.
Sean wouldn’t stand for anyone tarnishing her.
Moreover, at only 16, she was still too young and impressionable to navigate such things
Suzanna seemed to be frightened by his extreme reaction, and tears welled in her eyes as she spoke up. “Dad, you’re misunderstanding!
Even though Martin isn’t blood–related to Melody, they’ve lived together for over a decade. They must be innocent!
“It’s just that some people at school, who don’t know the truth, think that Mel and Melody an
Suzanna had only met Martin a few times, but she could tell he had good qualities despite his humble beginnings
But why could Melody have such a good brother?
That was something she never had!
Before Suzanna could finish, Sean interrupted her angrily, “Because they don’t seem innocent, do they?
“Hmph, the poor Tuckers think they can use Melody to climb into our family!
I’ll keep Melody locked up and stop her from contacting the Tuckers again!”
Suzanna looked terrified, crying and blaming herself for speaking out of turn.
Sean gently stroked her head, his expression softening as he considered her feelings.
“Silly Suzie, you’re just trying to protect Mel. What’s wrong with that?”
