Chapter 243 Hollow

"I'll say it one more time, my last name is Tucker!

I have completely severed all ties with the Shields long ago.

"Don't call me Mel in that disgusting way. I don't have a dark, crawling, and ugly little sister like you!"

After concluding her lawsuit with Carson, Melody calculated all the expenses Arnold had spent on her over the years.

She had repaid them in full, including interest. Melody had deposited the money in the card that Arnold had given her when she first returned to the Shields.

Even more so, she had sent the card to the private rehabilitation center where Arnold was staying.

Unfortunately, Arnold was avoiding her

She left a letter of severance along with the card, sliding it through the crack of his hospital room door before walking away.

Deep down, she felt grateful to Amold, but a hint of resentment lingered as well.

She thought about how things might have been different if Arnold hadn't insisted on taking her away from the Tuckers, using their bloodline to force them to let her go. Could her life have taken a different turn if he hadn't taken that action?

After Arnold brought her back to the Shields, if he hadn't just handed her a card and locked himself away in that rehab center and actually cared about her? Would her life at the Shields have been any less miserable?

Yet she knew she had no right to blame anyone.

At 16, she yearned for familial affection.

She was overjoyed to reunite with her blood relatives when Arnold sent someone to bring her back to him.

However, she would never forget the Tuckers' kindness.

From the very beginning, she hadn't intended to abandon the Tuckers, yet somehow, they had gradually drifted apart.

Those memories were a deep, hidden pain within her.

But now that she had returned the money and written a farewell letter to Arnold, she felt she had fully severed her connection with the Shields. Melody's scornful insults toward Suzanna struck Derrick deeply.

Suzanna's timid and tearful demeanor after receiving a reprimand only made Derrick feel a pang of sympathy for her.

Chapter 243 Hollow

It was clear that SSuzanna was the victim-why should she have to bow down and make amends for Melody's mistakes?

Melody needed to take responsibility for her actions.

She couldn't manipulate his guilt to distract the public from the quality control issues plaguing YM

Cosmetics.

Moreover, Melody didn't appreciate Suzarina's kindness

Derrick covered his face, stifling the itch and pain from his rash. The veins on his forehead bulged as he snapped. "Melody, do you have no shame?

"Suzie is the victim here, but she's thinking of you at every turn. Even if you don't appreciate it, you shouldn't attack her.

Indeed, all Shields are allergic to Cacroce. Your current allergy is unrelated to YM Cosmetics.

"Can you clear YM Cosmetics of all wrongdoing based solely on that? Or do you want me to show you leniency just because of your supposed care for family during your time with the Shields?" "Is that why you deliberately made Cacroce's situation public?

"Melody, with your scheming nature, it's no wonder that no one at home cared about you but cherished.

Suzie.

Derrick felt like he was losing his mind, completely driven mad by the situation.

Every word he uttered aimed to strike at Melody's sore spots.

Yet, when he looked into Melody's eyes, he found only the same cold indifference he had grown accustomed to. She remained unresponsive to his accusations-silent and apathetic.

His emotional onslaught had no effect on her...

In that moment. Derrick's brow furrowed deeply, a wave of indescribable exhaustion rising from within.

It felt as if his body had been hollowed out, and he stared at Melody in a daze.

He realized, far too late, that the Melody before him was no longer the sweet girl who cared for him, who listened to his troubles and stood by him, waiting patiently no matter how hard he pushed her away. His Melody seemed to have died.

She had died in every moment he had pushed her away and chastised her.

His heart felt like it had been suddenly pierced, a gaping wound that left it hollow and bloodied.
