“Mrs. Shield, as an elder, initially made a promise, but now she attempts to deceive and backtrack on her word, tarnishing the honor of the Shield family,” Melody remarked with a sly grin and a hint of sarcasm. 

With this statement, she skillfully linked Mrs. Shield’s broken commitment to the reputation of the Shield lineage, positioning herself as morally superior and leaving no room for retreat. 

The attendees at the event were all esteemed individuals. If Mrs. Shield resorted to her seniority to break her word, it would undermine the Shield family’s standing in high society! 

“Melody, you’re intentionally stirring up trouble Mrs. Shield countered, her expression darkening as she begrudgingly relented. 

Raising an eyebrow, Melody’s lips curved into a sweeter smile, a stark contrast to the steely resolve in her eyes. 

Her gaze turned frigid, her voice laced with vulnerability and defiance. “Don’t I deserve this? she questioned, her tone tinged with a sense of injustice and desperation. 

At that moment, she resembled a forsaken child, yearning for the sustenance that was rightfully hers after years of neglect and isolation. 

The hearts of the three Shield brothers wavered, betraying signs of uncertainty, 

The guests sighed, their sympathy for Melody evident in their gazes, while their perception of Mrs. Shield shifted towards skepticism and condemnation. 

Mrs. Shield, keen to defuse the tension, approached Suzanna and tenderly clasped her pale hand, extending a conciliatory gesture. “Suzie, this time, I am indebted to you.” 

“Give the red jade to Melody, and I’ll gift you the diamond necklace from my private collection,” Mrs. Shield insisted, affectionately tousling Suzanna’s hair as she presented her cherished treasures amassed over the years. 

Suzanna’s eyes widened in surprise. “Nanny, this doesn’t feel right. The diamond necklace was a betrothal gift from Poppy to you years ago. It holds sentimental value… How could I accept it?” 

“Tean’t, Nanny,” Suzanna declined. 

Feigning her refusal, she subtly showcased her collection to demonstrate that what she received was more precious and rare than the red jade.

“Suzie, this is my way of making it up to you. You are the little lucky star of our family, deserving only the best.” 

Soon, Suzanna had someone bring the “Phoenix Flight.” 

With hidden clasps, she opened the red jade and approached Melody. 

As she gazed deeply at the “Phoenix Flight,” a hint of reluctance flickered in her eyes. 

The unwillingness in her eyes seemed to be suppressed as she stood before Melody, prepared to hand it over… 

But a sudden grip on Suzanna’s wrist halted her movement. 

Timothy intervened with his sharp gaze, upright posture, and strong, slender fingers. 

His robust stature exuded authority as he declared, “Suzie, this belongs to you!” 

“It has been in your possession since childhood; it no longer belongs to Melody, Timothy declared firmly, looking coldly at Melody. 

“Melody, you desire the ‘Phoenix Flight‘ only for monetary gain.” 

Having expelled Melody from the Shield family and blacklisted her in various industries, he was confident of her intentions. 

He believed she wanted to sell the red jade. 

“I’ll offer you ten million. This red jade rightfully belongs to Suzie,” Timothy declared with conviction. 

Melody couldn’t suppress a chuckle at the generous offer. “Quite a sum for the rightful owner, indeed!” 

“Timothy, have I been too generous, turning you, who was supposed to be a dog, into -behaving like a lion?” Melody retorted sarcastically as she stepped forward to toy with the red jade. 

The red jade’s rich color and lifelike phoenix carving highlight its superior quality. The material and the craftsmanship were top–notch, making it a valuable item! Timothy’s expression darkened completely at Melody’s words. “Melody!” 

“Oh, you’re so loud, you startled me,” Melody feigned panic, clutching her chest. At that moment, the red jade slipped from her fingertips, grazing Suzanna’s hair before

“Clash!” 

The room fell into a hush as the red jade shattered into pieces. 

Mrs. Shield’s fury was palpable, her head spinning as she pressed her forehead and sighed heavily. “Melody, your actions are truly reckless!
