Sure enough, Suzanna approached them with her usual feigned grievance expression. She was like a tasteless, sticky piece of
Melody felt a wave of disgust rise in her.
Her gaze then shifted to Cameron, who was seated in the wheelchair Suzanna was pushing. As always, he appeared refined. and gentle, though his long legs, cramped in the small chair, revealed an underlying desolation and defeat.
There were six or seven bodyguards in black trailing behind them.
They came prepared.
After their last encounter at YM Capital, it seemed the duo was still haunted by the incident, unable to face her alone.
Spencer also glanced their way. His eyes, sharp and rebellious, met Suzanna’s weak and pitiful gaze.
There comes the girl who likes to play innocent!
“Who are you to call Melody ‘Mel?
“How dare an ugly and pathetic being like you call me ‘Spence? You should wash your face with acid to reveal the ugliness
beneath the skin!”
He sneered with a frown.
Spencer, always quick to criticize, had become even more withdrawn since returning to Sommerville.
No one could get a rise out of him. Even when Nolan tried, Spencer would lash out after just a few words.
He lived by one rule–his happiness came first, and everyone else could deal with it.
So, seeing Suzanna’s frail, dainty act, he got goosebumps and let loose without a second thought.
Suzanna was stunned. She had looked up Spencer’s background and knew he was currently one of Sommerville’s most desirable new elites, sought after by many of its socialites.
Who would have guessed that he was Melody’s former adopted brother?
Ha, Melody was quite lucky, though it seemed her “brother” wasn’t easily impressed by her
After all, four years ago…
Suzanna’s gentle expression faltered as Spencer’s relentless insults stunned her.
Wait. Did he already know?
Meanwhile, Cameron’s expression turned cold as his gaze fell on Spencer’s defiant face.
“Mr. Carlos, you’ve traveled all the way to Sommerville, and by tradition, we locals ought to treat you
withi
proper hospitality.
“However, with the way you’re behaving and Insulting my sister, it’s as though you’re not here as at all. Since when has
Sommerville allowed an outsider to freely bully one of its heiresses!
“Are you speaking on behalf of Avenstras with that attitude?”
Cameron’s protectiveness was unmistakable, and despite his physical limitations, he was shrewd and strategic.
By framing Spencer’s conduct as a national affront, he was clearly applying pressure, hoping to force Melody to surrender the Sylrien Orchid.

After all, that Syrien Orchid wasn’t just coveted by international scientists. Even Sommerville’s own researchers to use it to push the boundaries of science.
With the orchid’s current significance, it was no longer appropriate for Melody alone to decide its fate.
It should be the property of the nation.
It should bear the responsibility of advancing medical breakthroughs for humanity, not end up with a reckless boy from
A cistas,
Spencer, stung by Cameron’s remark, finally looked down at the man in the wheelchair.
Four years ago, he had no interest in meeting any of the Shields who had taken Melody away.
But after a quick search online, he now knew exactly who Cameron was.
He was Melody’s second elder brother from the Shields. The one who’d demanded Melody hand over the Sylrien Orchid to cure his legs
Melody, sensing the trap Cameron was trying to set, instinctively moved to respond.
But before she could speak. Spencer had already shrugged her hand off his ear, putting some space between them.
Melody’s gaze turned icy as she shot Spencer a warning look.
The boy responded with a quick, reassuring glance.
Their eyes met in that brief, tense moment.
