Chapter 189 This Can't Be Real

But what had he done?

He had accused her of stealing the pen drive, questioned her skills and integrity, and never offered her a shred of trust.

Even after Suzanna's emergency, he had considered apologizing to Melody once she was safe.

Yet, once Suzanna recovered, he got tangled up in one trivial matter after another. In the end, it was either those distractions or his pride as the eldest that prevented him from reaching out to her. He wasn't even sure anymore.

Under Christina's relentless interrogation, Timothy felt increasingly disoriented.

It was as if he were adrift in a sea of gray, his eyes dull and lifeless, his face drained of color and vitality.

"Mom, the pen drive incident is in the past. If we're going to revisit it, shouldn't we acknowledge that Suzie was the one who hid things from us?

What wrongs has Melody committed from the beginning?

"Is it wrong for her to work hard at Goldman Pax Corporation, or to clear her name and advocate for her contributions?"

He looked at Christina, his weary face revealing his guilt.

Christina was taken aback, unable to comprehend that her usually obedient son was standing up to her in

this way.

She stared at him in disbelief, feeling as if the son she knew had suddenly transformed into a stranger.

When Timothy noticed the shock and unfamiliarity in her gaze, he let out a laugh.

But this laughter was laced with a heavy sense of despair.

"Mom, who am I to question you?

"I'm the one who has taken Melody's kindness for granted, like a heartless fool. Haha!

Derrick observed the unfolding drama, feeling exhausted. He just wanted to walk away and disengage. Great, another one of the Shields has lost it!

First Gary, then Carson, and now Tim....

Are we really going to come apart over someone like Melody?

What was happening in the hallway felt more dramatic than any play!

After Timothy's laughter faded, his expression quickly turned serious, his demeanor darkening as he stood.

there.

Christina was terrified, too afraid to approach him again.

He remained rooted in place, an aura of tension surrounding him that made others hesitate to draw near.

Suddenly, he pulled out his phone and dialed Melody's number.

He hadn't contacted her at all during this time.

He simply couldn't face the consequences of his actions.

Unable to bring himself to apologize, he had chosen to remain distant, hoping she would reach out to him as she once did, allowing them to reconcile. But two weeks had passed, and she hadn't contacted him even once!

Each passing day felt like it pulled him further into despair.

"Sorry, the number you've dialed is not available...

She blocked my number?

Timothy couldn't believe it. He snatched Derrick's phone and tried again.

Once more, the same automated message played.

Derrick, who had been hopeful, froze as he realized he had also been blocked by Melody.

Timothy scanned the room, his gaze settling on Cameron who appeared indifferent in the corner.

In the past, besides Gary, Melody had enjoyed spending time with Cameron....

She wouldn't block him!

"Hey, can I borrow your phone?"

Cameron handed it over without a word, seemingly unfazed by the turmoil within the Shields.

But again, the familiar blocking notification rang out.

The hallway fell silent.

Cameron slowly raised his head to look at Timothy, shock flickering in his misty blue eyes. Melody cut me off too?

This can't be real!
