The two brothers were caught in a fierce fight, their blows landing with tremendous force.
Before long, their faces were swollen and stained with blood.
At that moment, Timothy stepped in, separating them as if they were merely bickering children.
He shot Suzanna a sharp glare, his voice firm and warning. “Suzie, your intentions might have been good, but you had no right to slander Melody.
“Apologize. Right now.”
With hesitation, Suzanna approached Melody, tears cascading down her cheeks as she offered a sorrowful apology.
“Mel… I’m so sorry. I was terrified of letting Tim down.
“It’s my fault. I promise I won’t do this again. Please forgive me.”
Her voice quivered with emotion, her tear–filled gaze locked on Melody. But beneath her tears, concealed from everyone except Melody, was a sly grin of triumph.
It was as if she silently declared, Look, even when the truth surfaces, Tim and Carson will still stand by me and defend me.
Melody, what do you have to counter me?
As expected, Timothy’s low voice, tinged with guilt and complexity, followed. “Mel, Suzie didn’t mean any harm.
“She’s apologized. You both should make up.
“And since this plan is your creation, let’s discuss business. Name your price, and I’ll purchase it for Goldman Pax Corporation.
“After all, you know as well as I do that YM Capital isn’t equipped for a project this large. I’ve been collaborating with Morgan Group for months. Don’t let my work go to waste, okay?”
Although Timothy’s tone seemed casual, each word was filled with the cold calculation of a businessman assessing risks and rewards.
Their tolerance for Suzanna appeared boundless.
Even with the evidence laid out, they still believed she had good intentions–that any

missteps were due to unfortunate circumstances
Meanwhile, she was destined to be merely a pawn for the Shields.
Ha… Dream on!

Melody’s delicate brows lifted slightly, the mole beneath her eye–similar to Timothy’s- seemed to deepen in color.
“Mr. Shield, what if I choose not to sell?”
Timothy’s frown intensified, his voice turning icy. “Melody!
“Can’t you be reasonable? Do you really have to be so hostile toward your own family?”
The disappointment in his tone was unmistakable.
Suddenly, Melody burst into laughter, her entire body shaking with barely contained mirth, though her pale face remained tense. “Reasonable? I can’t!
“Timothy, I’ve heard about chickens running around after losing their heads. Now, I finally met someone who walks around without a brain
“You’re so full of yourself, thinking the world should bend to your will.
“I won’t sell. Goldman Pax Corporation isn’t deserving of
my work.”
Timothy’s expression darkened further, but he had no choice; he needed that plan from Melody today.
Goldman Pax Corporation could not afford to lose this opportunity.
As for Melody, she was his sister. Sure, she was upset now and felt misunderstood, but he believed he could smooth things over later with enough money.
“Do you genuinely believe YM Capital can manage this? Be realistic, Melody. YM Capital has only 20 grand in registered capital and barely a million in liquid assets.
“How can you compare to Goldman Pax Corporation?”
The tension in the air was thick. The siblings argued while onlookers were too absorbed in the drama to step in.
Until
A dark, imposing figure emerged behind Melody, tall and formidable. The man casually draped an arm over her slender shoulder, his voice chilling and arrogant as he drawled, “You

sure think highly of Goldman Pax.
“I wouldn’t even let my wife toy with that garbage for fun.”

Melody sensed a familiar, overpowering presence looming over her, sending chills down her spine.
She tilted her head, her almond–shaped eyes sparkling as a sweet dimple appeared on her cheek. “E–Edward?
“You can stand now?!”
The room fell into a stunned silence.
It felt as though a tidal wave had crashed into everyone’s thoughts.
The Devil of the business world, known as the Noble Reaper–Edward–was back!
