Dressed in black, Edward exuded an aloof yet elegant aura. His devilish face was left uncovered.
The only thing adding a touch of liveliness to his silent and cold figure was the cartoon pattern on the pure white scarf around his neck.
Sitting in a wheelchair, the man entered the inner hall with a stone face.
He walked toward Melody and casually held the girl’s delicate hand.
His demeanor was relaxed, but there was an inexplicable sense of threat that lingered in the
air.
The moment he spoke, everyone’s gaze converged on him.
The Moore family was known as the most influential and powerful luxury family in Maycrest.
Before the plane crash happened, Edward was a god–like figure to whom all the socialites in the city flocked.
As the eldest son of the Moore family, he had a prestigious status and was known for his ruthless and aloof personality.
In the business circles, many admired his shrewd business acumen and decisive leadership.
After the plane crash, he seemed to have disappeared from public places as if he had evaporated from the world.
Rumors had it that he was disfigured and disabled and had long become a useless man.
Melody felt greatly supported by Edward’s appearance, but she intended to handle this situation herself.
Staring coldly at Gary, she asked, “Who do you think you are? Do have to agree just because you ask me to?”
“You and your family are experts in morally blackmailing others, but sorry, I know no morals and manners! So, don’t even think about manipulating me!”
Melody’s tone was mocking. Ignoring their shocked expressions, she snatched the electrotherapy device back from Christina and scoffed, “Ms. Christina, what gives you the right to take my things? Should I get a lawyer to deal with you?*

Melody coldly drew the line, making the Shields feel a hint of embarrassment.
Christina was annoyed. “Melody, I’m your mother! Are you going to sue me?!”
Christina couldn’t believe her ears. When Melody first returned to the Shield family, she was gentle, obedient to her, and extremely tolerant of Suzie.
But now, Melody was covered in thorns, like a hedgehog arming itself.
Facing her family, she acted as if facing an enemy.
She had changed way too much!
What exactly had made her this rebellious and defiant toward the family?
Christina frowned, feeling all the more that Melody was immature, unlike Suzanna, who was caring and warm.
“Fine. You can take the device if you like, but Suzie is injured; you have to apologize to Mr. Summer.
“If he wants you to kneel, then kneel and apologize. A man might not want to lose his dignity. but you’re just a girl, so what’s the big deal about kneeling?”
Christina thought she had already made a concession.
She was well aware that Terrence would not easily let Melody off.
She wanted Melody to apologize on her knees to show the family’s sincerity so that their family business would not be implicated.
“Who are you to call yourself my mother? Besides making me kneel and apologize, what else can you do?”
“Elana deserved to be beaten!”
“Suzanna was hit by a chair because she stepped forward to shield Gary. It has nothing to do with me. Why should I care?”
After Melody finished speaking, she met Gary’s red–rimmed eyes, which were filled with complex.emotions.
Looking
disheartened, Gary mumblert Mcl…”
He wanted to say something, but he knew Melody wouldn’t listen to him anymore.
When Edward appeared, Gary immediately noticed the scarf around his neck.

The knitting style and the cartoon characters looked extremely familiar. It was the same style as the birthday gifts Suzanna knitted for him every year.
A ridiculous speculation crossed his mind, but he didn’t dare to dwell on it.
Maybe the scarf Edward is wearing isn’t a present from Mel. Maybe the same knitting style is just a coincidence. Maybe the cartoon pattern isn’t embroidered on both sides… I must be overthinking.
“Don’t call me Mel!”
“You’re no longer my brother, you’re just Suzanna’s brother.”
“Mr. Gary, from now on, please call me Melody. I’d rather we were strangers.”
”
Melody didn’t want to see the affectionate look in Gary’s eyes as it made her feel disgusted.
Gary’s heart ached. He was at a loss of words under Melody’s cold and disdainful gaze.
The thing he feared the most had happened.
