Sean undoubtedly cared for Suzanna, but when it came to his daughter and his own career, he had to make choices.
Besides, it was just a couple of slaps. Suzanna had received her fair share of slaps lately and should understand the difficulties of being a father.
He looked gloomy, and seemed to be in a very heavy mood, but he did not hesitate at all when he pushed Christina.
Joking aside, everyone in the Moores was wary of Melanie, and among the big players in Sommerville, only a few were willing to offend this lady.
First, there have long been rumors that Melanie was spoiled and quite domineering,
Offending her meant offending Truman.
Second, the Lamberts were also not to be underestimated in Sommerville. Melanie had an older brother who controlled the Lamberts‘ business and was said to be overly protective of her, having spoiled her since she was a child.
Back then, he was the first to oppose Melanie’s insistence on marrying into the Moores family.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t withstand his sister’s determination to charge ahead for love and ultimately allowed Melanie to marry the divorced Truman. It was said that shortly after giving birth to Alfred and while still in her confinement, Truman’s ex–wife returned with their child to provoke her.
In a fit of rage, Melanie’s brother stormed into Regal Glade and confronted Truman, giving him a beating. He wanted to take Melanie back to the Lamberts and sever ties with the Moores.
If Melanie hadn’t stopped him, Truman would probably have been crippled.
After that confrontation, the Lamberts had long shed their reputation as a cultured family in Sommerville.
Weighing the pros and cons, Sean made his choice.
Christina, however, couldn’t accept it. She turned and glared at her husband, like he was a complete stranger. “Sean, are you even human?
“Suzie is already hurt like this, and you still want to see her suffer more?”
Sean hesitated for a moment, then sighed in resignation. “You’re just a woman, what do you know?
“That’s just a woman’s compassion!”
As he spoke, Sean turned to Melanie, his eyes conveying a silent negotiation that any smart person would understand.
Melanie understood his meaning right away.
Her indifferent gaze fell lightly on Cameron, who was seated in a wheelchair.

She seldom left Regal Glade, where everything she wanted was provided for her–new jewelry and clothing collections were delivered right to her door.
She could spend all day wandering around Regal Glade without ever feeling bored.
So, with the curiosity of someone who had just discovered a fascinating game, she focused intently on Cameron’s face and chuckled lightly.
“I can understand why Mrs. Shield is reluctant to slap her.”
“But you can’t just let the insult to my Mel go unpunished, especially because you’ve acknowledged their blood connection as a family.
“You may not want to discipline your daughter, but you can certainly discipline your son.
“Go on, slap him in the face.
“Two slaps, no less!”
Cameron looked up in surprise, her usually gentle demeanor was now slightly more aggressive.
He looked great in white; his handsome features, combined with his naturally calm and Zen–like presence, made him gentle and approachable.
But he also has a sense of alienation, making it difficult for people to see through his feelings.
Even so, he was defeated by Melanie’s brutal threat.
He turned to look at Suzanna, who was cowering and aggrieved, with tear marks all over her mottled cheeks. The little girl looked so pitiful that it made him feel distressed.
When she saw him looking over, the little girl bravely stepped forward and tugged at her mother’s sleeve, her voice strong and stubborn. “No … Don’t hurt Cam.
“Mom, please slap me. I am willing to let my sister vent her anger.”
These words skipped Melanie directly.
It seemed that everyone could see through the fog in an instant and pinpoint the instigator of this farce.
If it weren’t for Melody, why would Melanie have suddenly turned against the Shields?
Sean’s gaze shifted to Melody, the anger in his eyes intensifying.
Christina’s face drained of color as she seemed to snap back to reality. Looking at Melody, her expression softened, and her tone grew gentler.
Lately, she had been burdened by stress, feeling fragile like a willow tree, ready to be toppled by the slightest breeze. Christina stepped closer to Melody, hesitating for a moment before saying, “Mel, I’ve never asked anything of you.
“Now, I’m asking you to let Mrs. Melanie spare your little sister. She’s frail and can’t take a beating.”
With that, Christina lunged forward, wanting to collapse at Melody’s feet.

Fortunately, Melanie was quick to react, stepping in front of Melody to block her.

As a result, Christina ended up sitting on the ground before Melanie’s feet instead, sparing Melody from this difficult moral burden.
Melody stood behind Melanie, her gaze gently fixed on Christina.
She noticed Christina’s hunched posture, the new gray strands that had appeared at her temples in just a few days, and the dark circles under her eyes. She looked haggard.
All of this stemmed from her worries about Suzanna.
As Melody observed her, she unexpectedly laughed.
Melanie was taken aback, sensing the sadness in Melody’s laughter.
She felt heartbroken.
This child has never felt the love of a mother.
Her biological mother treated her worse than an outsider.
Melody felt as if countless fine needles were piercing her heart, a mix of pain and discomfort that made it hard to breathe.
She had longed for a mother’s love since childhood.
That was precisely why Tyrell was so determined to send her back to her biological family; they all hoped she could have a complete home, one where she was cherished by her blood relatives.
But no matter how much effort she put in after returning, it never made a difference.
She would always be an outsider.
Even her biological mother regarded her as a threat, which was why she was so eager to push her into the center of public opinion.
She had seen it all.
When Christina lunged forward, Sean raised his phone to record.
