“If you insist on dragging personal grudges into our business collaboration, then don’t blame me for disregarding business ethics and leaving Goldman Pax and Justice Law Firm no way out.”
Isn’t this just a threat using the silent battles of the business world?
If they want to play, I won’t back down.
Noticing her stubbornness, Cameron cracked his knuckles on the armrest of the wheelchair.
He raised a hand to cover his lips and cleared his throat. “Ahem … Mel, you don’t have to listen to me. Are you really willing to ignore Grandpa?
“Even though Grandpa has been living in a nursing home, he doesn’t want to see the family tearing each other apart./
“You insist on not giving in. Do you want to make his old age uneasy?”
The words clearly hit home.
Melody was taken aback, a lump forming in her throat, leaving her momentarily speechless.
She could blame any member of the Shields.
But Arnold left her 20 percent of the Shields‘ shares as a lifeline after his passing in her previous life.
If she hadn’t had that 20 percent stake, more than any of the Shields‘ children, she might have been tortured to death by Suzanna.
Yet, that 20 percent stake also became her death warrant.
After her rebirth, her feelings towards her grandfather were complicated.
After all, Arnold was the only one in the Shield family who genuinely cared for her. He quietly gave her living expenses when she was short on money and personally taught her needle therapy.
When she returned to the Shields, everyone opposed her presence.
It was Arnold, despite his frail health, who stood protectively in front of her and declared, “Mel is part of the Shields bloodline.
“No one has the right to drive her away; she is my granddaughter.”
During her time at the Shield Residence, she endured countless disdainful looks.
When she first returned, even the servants dared to show her disrespect.
Yet Arnold, despite his poor health, was the first family member willing to stand in her defense.
For this reason, Melody held deep respect and gratitude for him.
She regarded him as her most beloved grandfather and felt a deep sense of duty toward him.

She could be ruthless toward anyone in the Shield family, but she couldn’t bear to let Arnold down.
Seeing that Melody was wavering, the Shields exchanged satisfied glances.
As expected, the mention of her grandpa would surely put Melody in her place.
After a moment’s hesitation, Melody spoke once more.
She glanced at Cameron who had threatened her with her grandfather, and gave a half–mocking smile. “If Grandpa really cared about me …
“He wouldn’t ask me to sacrifice myself just to uphold the Shields‘ pathetic facade of harmony.
“If he wants me to endure for the sake of that superficial peace, I can’t help but wonder if his love for me is just an act!”
Melody’s words were forceful and impactful.
It was really embarrassing for the Shields.
Just when everyone was stunned, the elevator door of the high–end office building opened again, and a woman in a professional suit, with a graceful and charming figure, walked in decisively on high heels.
She glanced over the faces of the Shields.
With a sneer playing on her lips, Melanie’s piercing gaze swept across the Shields, leaving them feeling
uneasy.
But she had an impressive background.
For the moment, they didn’t dare to speak.
Melanie was the first to spot Derrick, whose figure looked familiar to her, and she remarked sarcastically, “Oh, you haven’t been thrown into prison yet?
“What’s going on? Did the instigator, Suzanna, disappear again, leaving you to take the fall?
“Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it.
“I heard that Carson ended up in a similar situation. Just tough it out, and soon you’ll–wait, is that the second son of the Shields, Cameron, in the wheelchair?
“Just be ready! Don’t think being disabled gives you a free pass. Once Derrick goes in, you’ll be the one taking the fall for Suzanna!”
Cameron thought, Absurd!
Suzie is doing her best to help me with my leg therapy.
There’s no way she’ll betray me.
