“My adoptive mother hasn’t been well lately, and she needs my care. I’ve been thinking of moving back, but I owe her for raising me. It’s not right to be unfilial.” Melanie managed to maintain her composure as she spoke.

Charlic stared at Melanie with skepticism. Has she really turned better?

Herbert walked over and said coldly, “You’re just putting on an act.”

This little sh*t! Melanie felt an urge to slap him but calmly explained, “Herbert, what happened before was a misunderstanding. Everyone has moments of impulsivity and despair. I just wasn’t as quick to adjust as Aurelia, and I was struggling to come to terms with my true identity.”

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!

“Is that Mel? Why are you standing outside? Come on in.” Phyllis spotted her two sons at the entrance and spoke as she approached.

“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.

“My cousin was quite heartbroken, but with her family’s disapproval, she had no choice but to obey their wishes. Just a couple of days ago, while she was scrolling through her phone, she stumbled upon a live–streaming channel. The channel focused specifically on filming attractive men and women on the street. In the live stream, she saw her husband entering a hotel with another woman! She mentioned that her husband hadn’t touched her in a long time, ever since
