Chapter 448 Chapter 448 You've Never Truly Cared for Me as Your Granddaughter

For a moment, Melody felt a wave of disorientation.

Arnold's familiar, concerned voice for Suzanna echoed in her ears, and she couldn't help but reflect. So, people could wear such vastly different faces.

Melody raised a hand to her forehead, steadying herself as her resolve solidified even further.

When Arnold stepped forward, extending a frail hand for her to hold, Melody didn't hesitate-she swatted it away with force.

"Arnold, ask yourself honestly-do you truly care about me?

"If you do, then tell me! Where were you all these years when I was being wronged?

Suzanna's replacement, are you really going to claim you had no idea?"

Melody's voice was sharp, her words slicing through the air with clarity and precision.

Arnold froze, momentarily speechless.
