Chapter 446 Chapter 446 The Undisputed Head of the Shield Family

Arnold's strikes landed on the most excruciatingly sensitive spots, places where the pain was amplified tenfold, leaving his targets on the verge of tears.

Only such a punishment could truly demonstrate the depth of his love and protection for Melody. He was still the same Arnold, the one who had always shielded and cherished her.

He had never changed.

"Ungrateful wretch, silence yourself!" Arnold roared, his voice booming with authority.

"Right is right, and wrong is wrong! I've just discovered Suzanna's been tormenting Mel behind my back. "Have I not made myself clear? No one in the Shield family bullies Melody! She is family, your own flesh and blood! Or do you all think that just because I'm aging and frail ..." He broke off into a fit of coughing, his body wracked with tremors.

"Do you believe," he gasped, regaining his composure, "that you can treat us, an old man and a young girl, with such disdain?"

Arnold was so furious that he pounded his chest, his breathing uneven, his body trembling as if it might collapse under the weight of his rage.

Sean, still reeling from the blow to his legs, finally came to his senses.

Hurriedly, he stepped forward to support Arnold's back, ignoring his own pain as he tried to help his father steady his breathing.

The Shield family's standing in the capital-its prestige and power-had always been built on Arnold's accomplishments in the medical field.

His success had earned the favor and gratitude of countless influential figures, solidifying the family's position.
