She had millions in savings but was reluctant to fork out money on Elana’s behalf.

However, to maintain her gentle and kind image, Suzanna gritted her teeth and said, “Lana, I know you didn’t mean to stain Mel’s dress. I’ll help you pay the compensation.”
Although Suzanna’s reluctant and upset look couldn’t be concealed, she still took out her card and handed it over to Melody.
The bystanders couldn’t help but cast condemning glances at Melody.
“Is this the adopted daughter of the Shield family? What a disgrace! How dare an illegitimate child like her bully the legitimate daughter?”
“I heard she married the heir of the Moore family, who is disabled and violent. Serves her right!”
“So she’s Melody? She’s truly beautiful and has a good figure. What a waste for her to marry a disabled person….”
“I heard her husband doesn’t have long to live, and she’ll soon become a widow. Once she loses support from the Moore family, she’ll be at our disposal! Haha!”
Just as Suzanna was about to pass her card to Melody, a hand with distinct knuckles grabbed Suzanna’s wrist.
Carson gently lowered his eyes and said, “Suzie, keep your card. I’ll pay this eighty thousand.”
Melody was unsurprised she had long known that Carson was best at cleaning up Suzanna’s messes.
Of course, he would be willing to spend eighty thousand for Suzanna’s sake.
Carson’s voice was clear, but when he looked at Melody, his gaze was like a cold, piercing blade.
“Melody, there’s one million in this card, more than enough to buy the dress you’re wearing
Carson coldly handed his card to Melody.
Just as Melody was about to take the card, Suzanna suddenly leaned weakly toward Carson
Carson quickly supported her, and the card in his hand flew straight out toward Melody’s face.
Melody stepped aside, but the sharp corner of the card still grazed her cheek, cutting through her delicate skin.
Soon, a shallow blood mark appeared on her cheek.
The unexpected insult happened too quickly. Carson’s face changed as he watched the bank card fall to the ground. Melody’s intention to humiliate Carson was obvious.
Carson wanted to say something, but facing Melody’s stubborn and hostile eyes, he felt choked in his chest and was lost for
words for a moment.
“Carson, Mel treasures the high–end designer dress that she’s wearing, which is worth eight hundred thousand. I guess it must be a gift from someone very important… Suzanna probed as she leaned into Carson’s chest, feigning an innocent look while glancing in Andrew’s direction.
Sure enough, Carson’s face turned dark, thinking Melody couldn’t afford such an expensive, high–end designer dress unless she sold her body!
Earlier, he had seen Melody receiving a bank card from Andrew, so the absurd guess became even more plausible.
Suppressing his anger, Carson ordered in an aloof and mocking tone, “Melody, pick up the card and take off that filthy dress
on you!”
Take it off and throw it away! I can never tolerate my sister selling her body for money. I shalleducate her harshly to make her come to her

Chapter 24 Why Should I
Melody looked up in disbelief, sneering, “Why should I?”
Her brother, in order to humiliate her, threw a credit card at her and ordered her to undress in public!
Once again, she was disappointed in her so–called family.
Just because I’m spending money on you. You’re out here looking for sugar daddies, aren’t you? Then why are you pretending to be high and mighty?”
Carson’s eyes were malicious and mocking.
He aimed to completely shatter Melody’s dignity so that she would never dare to act recklessly again.
Melody bit her lips. Her heart had been broken by them countless times, but it still ached for a moment.
As she looked at Carson’s handsome features, all she felt was disgust.
Without any hesitation, she stepped forward and fiercely punched Carson in the face.
“Bang!
Blood oozed out of Carson’s gum as two teeth fell off.
When Suzanna saw Carson slump onto the ground, she rushed over to help him but was kicked away by Melody.

Melody looked down at Carson and said coldly, “Carson Shield, remember this if I don’t put up with you, you are nothing! And this applies to anyone in the Shield family.”
Gary stared blankly at Melody, feeling a lump rise in his throat.
Mel, do you hate us now?
