Suzanna nodded, and the pallor of her face softened slightly.

Then she turned to look at Carson, who sat beside her with a brooding expression. Lately, he had been putting himself in the spotlight to block the negative headlines aimed at Suzanna.

His rash behavior had even caused headaches for his superiors at Dream Entertainment.

After all, going head-to-head with Harmony Dubbing Studio and trying to take down their star; VoiceMel, was a huge risk.

. But Carson had gone all in for Suzanna, taking the pressure in stride and teaming up with

Derrick to push back.

However, the string of cease-and-desist letters they had sent to Harmony Dubbing Studio seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Even though the internet had completely trashed VoiceMel, the studio still publicly expressed its unwavering support for her.

This started to confuse many fans who had initially jumped on the hate bandwagon.

While Carson was nursing a headache, Suzanna, looking pale and weak from her recovery, quietly tried to talk him down. "Carson, maybe... maybe you should stop going against Mel. After all, she's backed by the Moore family ... " The frail girl's voice wavered, her words filled with hesitation and unspoken grievance.

That single sentence was enough to ignite Carson's fury. "What do you mean 'going against her'?

"She was the one who went after you first! Besides, she was the one in the wrong. Even after three years, she should pay for what she did.

'I don't care how powerful the Moore family is does that mean they get to ignore basic morality? She plagiarized and cheapened my work, and she deserves to be shamed for it for he rest of her life."

Suzanna's casual remarks skillfully deepened Carson's resentment toward Melody.

A flicker of triumph flashed in her eyes, though outwardly she maintained a fragile lemeanor.

But Carson, I don't want anything bad to happen to you," she said softly.

"You're my family... I'll take on all of Mel's anger by myself...'

No, she couldn't just sit by and let Melody hurt Suzanna.

Melody had to pay for this!

Christina abruptly stood up, turning to Derrick with a dark, determined look. "Derrick, in copyright infringement cases, is there a chance Melody could go to prison?"

Derrick hadn't expected Suzanna's few words to push Christina into wanting to see Melody locked up.

His tall, refined figure stiffened for a moment, and his sharp eyes narrowed with a cold, wintery frost as he replied, "If the infringement is serious enough, she could go to prison. "But that's only for the most severe cases...

He had already dug into the case between Carson and VoiceMel from three years ago.

While there were allegations of "sheet music plagiarism," the evidence fell short of meeting the legal definition of copyright infringement.

However, if they really wanted to push the case to its most extreme, Derrick knew he had the skills to make that happen. As one of the top lawyers at Maycrest, he could ensure Melody ended up in prison for a year or two.

If he decided Melody was going to face the full force of the law, there was no escaping it.

"Derrick, then let's pursue the most severe charges against Melody," Christina said firmly.

"She needs to be sent to prison to clear her head. It's what she deserves.

"Why should Suzie suffer in vain if Melody isn't punished?"

Christina's determination was absolute, her judgment clouded by hatred.

Derrick's brows furrowed, a cold, biting chill reflecting in his dark eyes.

He let out a sigh. "Mom, Gary was right. We've been too biased.

"Yes, Melody made mistakes, but they don't warrant prison time."

As a lawyer, Derrick had seen countless cases of families destroying one another, leaving nothing but devastation.

While he couldn't fully understand Melody's feelings, he had a sharp eye for details.

From Christina's attitude alone, he could tell that Melody had likely endured a lot of mistreatment during her four years with the Shield family. "What do you think, Carson?" Derrick asked, turning to him.

In Derrick's mind, he had taken this case to keep things from spiraling out of control.

After all, they were all part of the Shield family. If conflict was inevitable, at least the final decision should stay within their control.

Carson stood by the hospital bed, his expression taut, his dark eyes swirling with an inner ^ storm.

He pressed his lips together tightly before finally speaking in a voice colder than ice. "Derrick, do what Mom says.

"Melody deserves the harshest punishment."

On the fourth day, Melody logged onto Twitter and posted a message herself.
