Although Charlie was young, he wasn’t easily fooled. “Once again, you’re trying to subtly influence us to suspect my sister. You want us to dislike her.”

“No matter how you’ve deceived my mother, if you upset her, I’ll make you pay dearly,” Charlie threatened, his eyes narrowing.

Herbert spoke in a cold voice. “If you dare to mention Aurelia again, I’ll beat you to death.”

Staring at the two individuals hostile toward her, Melanie clung tightly to her bag. Fine! Let’s see how they’ll try to appease me in the future and then apologize for defending Aurelia today!

“Yes, Mom, I’m coming.” Melanie promptly responded obediently.

Charlie and Herbert exchanged a glance, then stepped aside for her to enter.

Upon entering the room, Melanie was taken aback by the sight before her. This place is so decrepit!

The furniture appeared to be many years old. Although not broken, it was visibly worn, exuding a sense of cheapness.
