Chapter 237 Sharp Tongue

Derrick had always been accustomed to grand occasions.

When he showed up at the tea banquet, he kept his composure and greeted each member in turn with impeccable manners

As he lifted his gaze/he saw Melody sitting perfectly

expression indillerent as she gestured for sulised. She mule MOVE LINE or greet him, her

to show him a seat,

A flicker of irritation crossed Derrick's face as he stared at Melody, noting the faint redness of blemishes marring her cheeks. His annoyance grew, as did the disapproval that betrayed his face. Frustrated. Derrick's opinion of Melody sank even lower

How rude!

Is this how the Shields raised their daughter to behave when Hosting guests?

But when he remembered she was his sister, Derrick swallowed his irritation.

He took the lead, addressing Melody in a condescending manner. His tone was cold and edged with a hint

of command.

"Melody, you're the older sister, after all Suzie had a heart attack; it's one thing that you didn't bother to show up. Now, thanks to your so-called YM skincare cream, her skin's been ruined-those scars still haven't healed. "It's time you took responsibility," he added.

"Even though you're now Moore, you'll always be part of our family. If you're willing to harm your own family like this, who would have accepted you in the future?"

The last remark was what Derrick truly believed.

He had never thought Melody and Edward's marriage would last.

The Moores were a powerful family, and if Edward hadn't been wheelchair-bound, the Shields wouldn't have stood a chance at joining their ranks.

And with Edward's chronic illness, his life was bound to be short.

Melody would inevitably remarry one day.

When that time came, she'd need the Shields' backing to secure her future.

Without the Shields support, what prospects would a twice-married widow have?

She'd need them to he

secure her future, whether she liked it or not.

Therefore, Melody would never sever ties with the Shields. All her past talk of breaking away was just a fleeting outburst.

At the very least, Derrick still regarded her as his sister

Convinced he was acting out of brotherly concern, he approached Melody and reprimanded her. Melody listened to his nauseating sermon and almost laughed out of sheer exasperation.

But now, her emotions toward the Shields had become calm-like a still pond with barely a ripple.

"Derrick, with that brain of yours, it's a wonder you're a lawyer.

You, of all people. should know that blaming someone without proof is grounds for a defamation lawsuit."

Melody remained nonchalant, not even bothering to stand; she sat there exuding the authority of the true lady of the Moores.

Derrick had come uninvited. He was merely an intruder, someone she didn't even consider worthy of

respect

Her attitude made Derrick's fists clench tightly under his sleeves, his knuckles cracking.

The thore he looked at Melody's calm, detached demeanor, the more fury churned in his chest.

Wide-eyed, he stared at Melody in disbelief before sneering, mocking, "Proof?

"Melody, the proof you want is all over Suzie's face!

"She had an allergic reaction, which triggered her heart condition. She just had surgery and is frail, yet how she's scarred for life because of you

"If Ken hadn't arrived in time, Suzie might have jumped from her hospital window.

"And even now, she's so kind-hearted that she begged me not to confront you. She poured her heart out for you, and what about you?

"As the older sister, Melody, you're downright vicious!

Derrick, the usually composed, upright lawyer, was now red-faced with fury. It was an unusual sight for him to be enraged by Melody

Melody raised an eyebrow and watched him with mild amusement.

She waited for him to finish his tirade, then she nonchalantly tilted her head, toying with her teacup. She wore a sweet smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Proof on Suzanna's face

"Oh, please, just because her skin is a mess doesn't mean it's from my product. Do you have lab results proving it? Or evidence that my brand was operating illegally? "If you have nothing, why are you here in Regal Glade wasting my time?"

"Derrick, did you learn law, or did you just learn to bark nonsense? Throwing a fit like this-are you cosplaying a hysterical, shrewd woman shouting accusations?" 9/9

Melody's Meady rebuttal left Derrick momentarily from

He suddenly realized how impulsively he had acted, ab "Wow!"

Nearby, Alfred couldn't help but whisper in awe, "That
