Remarry My 7

Observing the scene, Mr. Shield offered Suzanna a tender smile, "Suzie, your kindness allows Melody to think she can bully you. What would you do if it weren't for your parents and brothers protecting you?"

• With a gentle gesture, he retrieved the USB flash drive from the table and handed it to Suzanna, then affectionately tousled her hair, his gaze warm, "Keep it safe this time; don't let Melody snatch it again." Accepting the USB drive, Suzanna furrowed her brow slightly, her expression tinged with concern for Melody, "Dad, maybe Mel is facing some challenges..."

• "Stealing is unacceptable! What challenges could justify her actions?"

• "By tolerating her behavior, our family's reputation will suffer!"

• Mr. Shield's tone turned stern, his disappointment in Melody evident.

• Her defiance warranted consequences; she needed to face the repercussions beyond the confines of their home.

• "Timothy, ensure that no one in the industry hires Melody!"

• He aimed to discipline her and prompt her return.

Otherwise, how would others view the authority of the Shield family?

"Understood," Timothy nodded, supporting the decision to block Melody across various sectors in Maycrest.

• Given Melody's recent rebelliousness, corrective measures were necessary to prevent further misconduct. Cameron sat in a wheelchair, his sharp features etched with a subtle air of detachment and indifference.

Yet, beneath his outward calmness, he believed Melody deserved consequences for her actions.

• Derrick, wearing a discontented expression, complied with his father's directive.

Suddenly, Suzanna emitted a soft groan as if on the verge of collapse.

⚫ Carson rushed to her aid, his anger still evident, "If Melody wishes to depart, let her. When she realizes the challenges outside, she'll return to us."

• "First, let's tend to Suzie's injuries!"

⚫ Mrs. Shield nodded, her expression a mixture of complexity and displeasure. "Why was I fated to have a daughter with such unfortunate circumstances? Even if she returns home to live a comfortable life, it seems she won't find contentment."

"If she's unwilling to embrace her role as a lady of the Shield family, then she shouldn't bother returning in this lifetime!"

• Mr. Shield concurred, offering comfort as he embraced his wife's shoulder. "Never mind her, Suzie's well-being is paramount."

• The group accompanied Suzanna in seeking medical attention.

• As they departed, Gary stood motionless at the staircase, fixated on the front door.

• Suzanna delicately bit her lip and furrowed her brow. "Gary, do you plan to go find Mel?"

"Unfortunately, she's still upset with us. Once my foot heals, I'll seek her out and offer my apologies. I'm confident I can convince her to return."

Observing Suzanna's obedient and fragile demeanor, still prioritizing the family despite her injury, Gary's heart softened in the end.

With a touch of bewilderment in his gaze, he spoke firmly, "Who needs to go find her anyway."

• "She should have the decency to return on her own. Can't she return herself?"

Melody couldn't stay away from home forever!

Gary furrowed his brow, reassuring himself, before pushing the matter aside.

Considering Suzanna's condition, though it was just a sprained ankle, the family doctor conducted a thorough examination in the presence of the entire family.
