Chapter 336 Echoes of an Unspoken Love
For the first time, Alfred saw Edward being so down
dwoonterred crushes tore norm in this world!
If anyone deserved the love he longed for, it was Edward
holy, what if Edward had been the one pursuing you four years ago?” Alfred asked.
Melody raised an eyebrow, her head tilting playfully as she leaned back against Edward’s chest, a mischievous grin on her face.
“Then I wouldn’t have given him the time of day. I couldn’t turn him into a pedophile, right?”
Alfred shook his head.
Sigh. I just can’t get through her.
Edward reached out to gently pat her head and said. “You must be tired. Let’s head to bed and I’ll give you a massage. Alfred can handle the rest. He could use the practice anyway.
He turned to Alfred, his tone switching back to a commanding calm. “I expect the website to be fully optimized by ten tomorrow morning. If not–you’ll get it from me.”
Alfred looked defeated.
Even the workhorses at the production line don’t have it this rough
Melody blinked sympathetically at Alfred. “Thanks for your hard work, Alfred”
It’s a hard life instead of hard work.
At the Shield Residence, Cameron returned to his room and dialed Sean Soon after, he gained direct control of the Botanic Sanctuary.
“Cam,” Sean began, his voice hard but proud, “you’re the brightest of my sons, but that also makes you vulnerable. I never wanted you involved in this, but since the Sylrien Orchid can help you walk again, I’ll risk everything to make sure Melody hands it over.”
He continued, bitterness edging into his tone. “And Edward–he was crippled before Melody married him, but not long after she joined the family, he recovered.
“That proves she has the orchid, and she selfishly kept it from her family, even though it could’ve helped her own brother walk again. I can’t believe I raised such an ungrateful child!”
With Sean tied up in overseas business, the household matters now fell, at least technically, to his eldest son, Timothy
However, Timothy had recently come down with an unshakable flu and Carson was still stuck in detention.
Derrick seemed off mentally, and the youngest, Gary, was nowhere to be found.
Sean sighed deeply at the current situation
At this critical time, Cameron was the only one carrying the family’s burden. Although he was confined to a wheelchair, he was shrewd and capable.
“Don’t worry, Dad. If we cut off Botanic Sanctuary’s supply chain, YM Cosmetics will be helpless.
“Soon enough, Melody will have no choice but to come crawling back, apologize, and beg for forgiveness. “These days, we’ve been far too lenient with her, and now she’s getting bolder, forgetting her farmily members.

“As her brother, it’s my duty to steer her back to the path she belongs on.”
Staying with the Moores wasn’t a long–term solution for Melody.
Once Edward turned 29 and inevitably met his end, she wouldn’t possibly secure a place among the Moores.
Ultimately, only the Shields could offer her the support she needed.
Sean was bly pleased at Cameron’s confident words.

That’s exactly what I was hoping to hear, But Melody’s temper has only gotten worse and more volatile lately. Don’t provoke hejs Get the Sylrien Orchid from her first–then your grandmother and mother can put her back in line.”
Cameron nodded steadily and ended the call.
He sat in his wheelchair, facing a vast floor–to–ceiling window. The view outside showcased a beautifully arranged garden under the night sky.
But in the next moment, he froze as he noticed a dark figure reflected in the glass.
The man standing behind him was tall and brooding. He was dressed in a black sweatshirt.
His hair was messy with dark circles hollowing his eyes, and his cold gaze was fixed intently on Cameron.
Finally, he croaked, “Cameron, stop everything that you’re doing. I’ll make sure you stay crippled for life if you harm a single hair on Melody’s head!”

Cameron looked at the young man before him, weary yet unwavering, with a cold glint in his eyes.
“Gary, who gave you permission to eavesdrop on my conversation? Get out!” he barked.
To anyone else, Cameron always appeared the epitome of warmth, graceful as spring sunlight.
He was known for his gentle, considerate nature, and even after the accident that left him in a wheelchair, he still wore a soft. polite smile or everyone in the Shields family.
Burtocht, in the dim light filtering through the window, he seemed anything but gentle.
he shadows sharpened his features, casting him in a sinister glow, as if the façade of kindness had finally cracked, revealing something far darker underneath.
Gary stared at him, hardly believing this was the same Cameron he once knew–but the truth was impossible to deny. After being discharged from the hospital, Gary stayed away from Melody, trying not to cause her any stress.
threw himself into his studies, following her past advice to focus on improving himself.
He hadn’t skipped any classes at Greenfield University and he avoided drinking, smoking, or gambling at underground boxing rings.
He wanted to become a better brother that Melody could be proud of.
He planned to show her his progress, hoping not to bring any more trouble her way.
But that evening, he’d fallen asleep in the library after a long day.
He was jolted awake by classmates gossiping about YM Cosmetics–Melody’s company–being removed from Amazon, making it hard for customers to receive orders.
Others might not be aware of it, but every one of the Shields, except for Melody, knew that Cameron controlled Amazon’s distribution in the region.
Gary had raced out of the library and sped back to the Shields Residence.
He arrived just in time to hear Cameron and Sean conspiring against Melody.
How could they?
How could they think they had the right to ruin her life?
“Cam, why are you so set on getting the Sylrien Orchid?” he demanded.
“Did Suzanna convince you that you have to take the Sylrien Orchid from Mel to be able to walk again? Did she tell you that she needs that to treat your legs?
“Wake up! Suzanna’s nothing but a fraud. She tricked Tim, then Carson, and now you? She could probably swindle a stray dog to give her its bone, and you still trust her?”
Cary smirked at Cameron’s obsession mockingly.
Cameron’s expression twisted in anger.
“Watch your mouth, Cary.
“Suzie’s a kind soul—”
But Gary cut him off sharply.
“What if Suzanna’s lying to you, Cam? What if she’s the reason you’re still in that wheelchair?
