There was something exciting to watch, so many people gathered around after hearing the
news.
They were all prominent figures in the business world.
Many had attended Veronica’s birthday banquet and had a favorable impression of Melody.
However, there were also those who weren’t interested in such matters. Instead, their attention was caught by entertainment news, and they immediately recognized Suzanna, who was being protected by the two of the Shields.
“Isn’t that the popular and fresh–faced star, Suzanna? It makes sense now. She’s the daughter of the Shields. No wonder she was so talented and has such a graceful presence.”
“Even though Suzanna is known as a celebrity, she’s actually a financial genius. The preliminary financial plan she shared online was highly beneficial to industry professionals.”
“I also watched that episode of ‘Beauty Talks Finance. Each word was precise and insightful. Considering it was just an initial financial case study, it’s remarkable how such a young woman could have such expertise. She’s truly a genius.”
“With such remarkable talent, it’s no surprise that two of the Shields hold her in such high regard and keep her close.
“In stark contrast, the Shields‘ adopted daughter, who looks out of place and awkwardly dressed, seems like a fool.
“Showing up at the summit with no real skills and embarrassing herself. She deserves to be kicked out!”
As a result, all eyes turned to Suzanna, who was surrounded by admiring and appreciative looks.
Suzanna’s vanity was greatly satisfied.
Before the Golden Financial Summit began, she had made a special appearance on a highly specialized financial talk show.
Her sharp and professional analysis was a stark contrast to her innocent celebrity persona, effectively reinventing her public persona.
As a result, the audience’s attention shifted away from her scandal with Elana, thanks to the strategic efforts of hired online promoters employed by the Shields.

Suzanna had become the definition of a “talented and beautiful, intellectual yet delicate“.
At that moment, she approached with a gentle, almost frail demeanor and said, “Tim, Carson, we’re all family. I’m sure Mel just came here to enjoy the atmosphere. Please don’t ask her to leave.”
Her delicate, slender figure wasn’t dressed in formal professional attire but instead dressed in her usual ethereal white dress, enhancing her fragile and graceful appearance.
Melody’s lips curved into a faint smile as her gaze swept over the three people before her.
His expression was indifferent, smiling coldly. “I walked in openly through the gate with the invitation letter for the summit.
“I wasn’t aware that the Shields had taken control of the Golden Financial Summit.
“So, does that mean if you want someone out, they must leave?
“Are you suggesting that if you want any company to collaborate with the Shields, they have no choice but to agree?”
Her calm and composed tone carried an undeniable authority that was hard to resist.
Her words unmistakably stirred dissatisfaction towards the Shields.
The leaders of several major corporations looked displeased, and there was an increased sense of scrutiny and dissatisfaction towards Ditao Financial.
Key members of the Goldman Pax Group turned pale and quickly urged Timothy, “Mr. Shield, the organizer’s side….
“There are many competitors at this summit. It’s best not to attract too much attention and make ourselves a target.”
Timothy’s expression was unreadable. He cast a brief, intense glance at Melody before saying, clearly irritated, “If you’re asked to leave, don’t embarrass yourself further. It’s a family matter.
“I’m giving you a chance to leave with some dignity.”
Melody tilted her head slightly and forced a sweet smile, though her eyes remained cold.
“How many times do I have to say it? I have nothing to do with the Shields.
“I’m not a target for your jabs.
“I know you’re blunt, but there’s no need to be so harsh.”

Her playful smile, laced with a hint of mockery, only made Timothy’s face darken.
Carson, unable to contain his anger, snapped, “Melody, watch your language!”

“You … You’re so crude and arrogant. You and the refined, well–mannered Suzie are like heaven and earth.”
Melody’s lips curled into a lazy smile as she cast a dismissive glance at Carson. “What? Save your criticisms until you can express them properly.
“You really have some nerve, not realizing just how far off the mark you are!
“Oh, so you’re implying that she’s destined for an early departure to heaven while I’m stuck here?
“Well, thank you for wishing me a long and prosperous life. I appreciate it!”
Melody’s words left the two men visibly embarrassed, but they couldn’t retaliate.
They could only walk away with Suzanna in tow.
After all, it was a big event, and it was crucial to maintain the family’s image.
The summit officially began.
The CEOs of major companies were bringing their key personnel to build relationships with companies that they had negotiated with in advance.
Timothy suppressed his irritation from Melody’s remarks, managing a smile as he approached Vice President Kevin Garrett of Morgan Group with his core team.
He had already established a connection with Kevin, and now he brought Suzanna along to discuss potential collaboration.
Shortly after, Andrew approached Ralph Linton, the project manager at Morgan Group
Ralph’s expression changed, and he wanted to stand up, but Andrew gently held his arm and gave him a meaningful glance.
