Chapter 295 Punishment

At first, Scan believed that with Veronica watching over Melody, keeping her at the Shields residence and letting her contemplate her actions would be enough, and the situation would eventually settle down. But things didn't go as he had hoped.

While Melody stayed quiet, the Tuckers stirred up trouble, gathering outside the Shields gate, determined

to see her.

That night, lightning tore across the sky, accompanied by deafening thunder.

Sean instructed his men to keep Melody unaware of the Tuckers' visit, aiming to contain this scandal that could disgrace the Shields.

Yet, the Tuckers remained obstinate.

Tyrell and his youngest son even waited in the pouring rain all night, hoping Melody would appear.

But it was pointless-security was tight, and Sean had ordered that the Tuckers weren't to be let in.

Somehow, however, a maid managed to inform Melody, who then defied both Sean and Veronica, sneaking out to meet the Tuckers by climbing over the wall or crawling through some hidden path. Thankfully, Suzanna caught her in time.

Melody, however, was so determined that she pushed Suzanna, who was only trying to help, sending her tumbling into a ditch.

Her behavior was beyond unacceptable.

In that instant, Sean saw Melody's presence as a curse and a jinx on the family.

Suzanna had been falling ill more often lately, and now it was clear Melody was capable of endangering Suzanna's well-being for the sake of strangers.

Who did Melody truly see as her family? She couldn't distinguish family from outsiders. At such a young age, she was already showing a ruthless nature that couldn't have come from their upbringing. Suzanna was never like that-she was compassionate, sincere, and considerate. Melody, on the other hand, was deceitful, selfish, and inherently flawed.

Later that night, as Suzanna was brought to the family clinic, she held Sean's hand weakly, whispering, "Dad, don't be too hard on Mel. She's just too worried about Martin...*

Sean's expression turned hardened, and anger surged through him as he replied, "Suzie, that man is unworthy of your sympathy, Melody's just being foolish by going against me.

"I'll see to it she learns a lesson she won't soon forget. She must understand that she can't bring disgrace upon the Shields!

"You go rest. Leave the rest to me."

Watching Suzanna clutch his coat tightly, tears pooling in her eyes, she looked both hurt and pitiful.

"Dad, Mel still has a future; she'll need to marry someday," she pleaded softly. "Please, let's keep this quiet and save her a little dignity.

"We can dismiss the rumors at school. Mel is still young and bound to make mistakes."

Her words made Sean pause, his expression hardening as his disappointment in Melody grew.

Both were his daughters, but while Suzanna was gentle, generous, and kind-hearted, Melody was reckless. and constantly created trouble for him to clean up. It frustrated him deeply. "She's young? She's only a few minutes older than you

"But why does she behave so poorly? At the core, it's poor upbringing.

"She was raised by several men. She might be already

Sean hesitated to voice his concerns, given Melody was still his child. He didn't want to think ill of her.

The Tuckers, despite their limited means, had bought Melody dresses that exceeded their income

Her clothes were of higher quality than theirs, a clear indication that they had given her special care, even though she wasn't their own. But why had they gone to such lengths for her? Deciding to stop overthinking, Sean headed to the altar to see Melody.

The Shields held a reputation as a deeply traditional and noble family.

With their ancestors long gone, they treated their memorial plaques with the utmost respect.

For them, the altar was sacred, a place that no one would dare violate.

As the head of the Shields, Sean could educate the children with family rules.

Inside the altar, Melody knelt on a cushion, her posture tall and firm, her gaze full of defiance. Despite her recent return, she moved familiarly along the familiar path from the servants' quarters to the altar.

When Sean entered and saw her, his frustration only deepened. He ordered the punishment stick to be brought over and stood sternly behind her, speaking in a low voice, "Melody, do you realize what you did wrong?"

Melody had grown up among the Tuckers, a family known for its stubborn men, and she had certainly picked up on that trait.

She fought back the urge to say she did nothing wrong

Was it so terrible that she went to see the Tuckers? She owed them her gratitude and felt it was her duty to visit them now.

Her silence made Sean's expression harden. Without hesitation, he lifted the punishment stick and brought it down on her straightened back

"Melody, do you admit your mistake?"

Melody was knocked forward but slowly pushed herself back up. "I... did nothing wrong"

So that if I pushed Suzanna? She had tried to stop me from leaving and deserved it.

Sean was tempted to call her shameless but remembered Suzanna's advice and instead sighed heavily as he delivered the first blow.

"You pushed your sister, causing her to hit her head, suffer a concussion, and then a heart spasm! Isn't that reason enough to admit fault? "Go to Suzanna's bedside and apologize, and I'll spare you the remaining 28 blows."
