In the past, when Melody was obedient and respectful. Christina could slap her without hesitation, and Melody would just endure it, regardless of the reason.
But this time it was different.
Melody firmly caught Christina’s raised wrist and twisted it with a swift motion. A sharp crack echoed as Christina’s wail came from the doorway.
Moments later, Melody effortlessly shoved Christina to the ground.
The cold girl looked down at Christina, noticing how much older she appeared in just a month, with a few strands of gray at her temples.
But what did that matter to her?
Christina’s aging was the result of her exhausting worry for Suzanna.
“Tsk, bad luck?
“Mrs. Shield, that’s superstition won’t help you. I believe in the natural order of the universe.”
Her indifferent demeanor made Sean’s eyes redden with anger, and he shouted loudly, “Melody, apologize to your mother right now!
“Also, I’ve already looked into Suzie’s situation. It wasn’t her fault, she had an allergic reaction to the snowleaf sent by your aunt, which caused everyone to misunderstand you and created some trouble.
But those issues have been resolved, so there’s no need to hold a grudge. She is your younger sister, after all. As her older sister, what’s wrong with being forgiving? There’s no need to escalate this to take this to the
“I’ve also looked into it. Starting a brand like YM Cosmetics is currently very difficult. You probably don’t know this because you’ve never been in business, but I’m the largest shareholder in the herbal cultivation base from which you got your materials.
“If you continue to dwell on these petty issues with your sister, don’t blame me for cutting off your business!”

In Sommerville, wealthy families were abundant.
Although the Shields might not be the most powerful, they were recognized as a respectable upper- middle–class family; nationally, they were considered a distinguished lineage.
Sean had carefully weighed his options before using this leverage against Melody.

The “Botanic Sanctuary” he controlled essentially held the key to the raw materials for Melody’s production line.
He finally realized that instead of appealing to Melody’s emotions, it would be more effective to sever her supply chain, forcing her to comply with him.
Ha, she’s just a daughter, how could she ever outsmart her father?
Christina came to her senses as the silent Derrick helped her up, still in a daze.
She turned to Melody, her feelings a mix of frustration and sadness.
This daughter had become too rebellious to save.
It seemed that taking a firm approach was the only option left.
This was Melody’s own fault.
With that thought, Christina’s gaze shifted from confusion to malice.
Melody, you have a choice: either withdraw the lawsuit against Suzie and Derrick and publicly apologize, restoring Suzie’s innocence, or watch your precious YM Cosmetics crumble into ruins.
“Your father is decisive in his actions.
“If you choose to stand firm, be prepared to face the consequences.”
The situation clearly indicated that Christina was ready to completely sever ties with Melody.
Melody frowned. She had no idea that Sean held the largest share in Botanic Sanctuary.
This establishment was the biggest fresh herbal supplier in Sommerville, and she had placed her order for raw materials there.
If Sean cut off her supply, it would undoubtedly be a severe blow to YM Cosmetics.
Even so, she refused to back down.

In fact, he was considering taking matters into his own hands.

Melody’s gaze turned icy, and her lips pressed into a thin line. “I’ve made this clear many times, I’m not one of the Shields anymore.”
