"Suzie might have made mistakes, but three years ago, she was still a minor. What did she know back then? She was just trying to do what she thought was best for you. She was young and foolish; she took the wrong path, and we should guide her properly, not punish her with violence!"

Derrick had no idea that when Suzzana gave that booklet to Carson, she had explicitly claimed it as her own work.

Because of the previous misunderstanding, Derrick also thought Suzanna hadn't said anything, leading to the belief that it was her creation, resulting in yet another misunderstanding from Carson. In reality, Suzanna had always been innocent.

Derrick, a lawyer, immediately spotted a key point that could help absolve her.

When she allegedly stole and used the five main songs from 'Surge', she hadn't yet turned 18 and was still under the protection of the Juvenile Protection Law.

He looked at the judge, his expression serious, and spoke firmly, "Your Honor, we hereby file an objection to the previous ruling!"

The judge nodded. After all, making a quick judgment on such cases is rarely easy, and retrials are fairly

common.

This trial also served as part of the court's cultural property rights campaign, which had been promoted well enough, but the remaining details depended on the appeal Derrick would file. After some thought, the judge said, "The ruling from the first trial is hereby contested. The court allows the defense to appeal, the decision!

Although the judgment was contested, the evidence Melody had provided in her initial lawsuit had already caused an uproar online.

Derrick's eyes darkened as he locked eyes with Melody, her gaze as cold and clear as ever. The young woman tilted her head with a faint smile, her expression casual but.

In Derrick's view, filled with a gloating smile, she was laughing at their misfortune.

His eyes were dark as an abyss and reflected nothing but cruelty and cold-heartedness, sending chills down the spine of anyone who dared look too closely.

"Melody, are you satisfied watching Suzie get beaten by Carson and our family tear each other apart?"

His voice carried a subtle edge of anger, but he was restrained in the courtroom.

Melody ignored his aggressive demeanor.

She smiled, but it never reached her eyes.

"Satisfied? Oh, it's beyond satisfying. Want me to set off some fireworks to celebrate? And sure, you can contest the ruling all you want. But I'm filing a motion to dismiss your objection!"

With that, Melody handed over yet another official document to the court.

"Mr. Shield, you're too emotionally involved. How could you forget Criminal Law Article 17? Anyone over

the

age

of sixteen is subject to criminal liability. Three years ago, Suzanna was seventeen. She's no longer protected."

Melody's words were sharp and relentless, immediately tearing down Derrick's attempt to buy time.

Of course, Derrick knew Suzanna was no longer protected under the juvenile law. He was just trying to stall.

He couldn't let Melody send both Carson and Suzanna to prison. If that happened, his family would fall into complete chaos.

"Melody, must you be this ruthless? Suzie's body is weak. She has a heart condition. She can't survive in prison. I'll apply for medical parole!"

How about Carson?

One look at him, and it was clear he was one step away from walking into prison to atone for his crimes.

But how could the Shields have someone with a criminal record, especially someone who went to prison because of him? His career as a lawyer would become a laughingstock.

Just as Derrick found himself cornered, Christina barged into the courtroom.

The elegant woman stormed straight toward Melody. Her heels clicking loudly before swinging her handbag at her like a fury-shrew woman. "Melody, you wicked girl! You want to ruin our entire family, don't you? Go ahead and send your own mother to prison! If anything happens to Suzie, I'll die too! I'll make sure you live with the guilt of killing your own mother for the rest of your life."
