Suzanna stepped forward, looking delicate and frail, as if holding back some hidden grievance. 56%

She confidently walked over to Veronica, crouched down, and looked up to meet the barista's

gaze.

A tacit understanding passed between them.

She then spoke slowly and deliberately, "Nanny, don't blame the barista. The Latte used to be brewed with morning dew I collected it myself at four or five in the morning from the rose garden, which naturally made it more fragrant and rich." Veronica's face softened, and she gently clasped Suzanna's hand. "You always know how to care for me."

Bernard, standing behind Melody, was practically rolling his

eyes.

He remembered the time Melody made a latte for Edward in the Moore Residence.

He happened to have been there, and under Edward's icy gaze, he risked his life to taste the latte Melody prepared.

The color and aroma were rich, and the flavor lingered with a sweet aftertaste.

Back then, he couldn't resist asking about her latte-making secret.

Her answer was almost identical to what Suzanna had just said.

He'd noticed Suzanna's hands before-slender and flawless, without a single scratch.

How could she gather morning dew from the rose garden at dawn?

What a shameless lie.

With a mocking tone, Bernard chimed in, "Oh, she really knows how to look after doesn't she? Bringing you defective gifts at your birthday banquet. you,

"They say giving flawed presents at a celebration is like wishing someone a short life.

"Your granddaughter's going to kill you with filial piety."

Bernard finally voiced what everyone else had been too afraid to say.

Giving defective goods at a birthday banquet is considered unlucky, even a bad omen for a

shortened life.

Out of courtesy, everyone didn't mention it at the birthday banquet.

But Bernard had no interest in being polite.

So, he brought it up!

Veronica was already furious, hearing this, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.

Suzanna's expression changed instantly as she hurried to catch her grandmother, her frail body barely managing to hold her up.

The Shields panicked, rushing to call an ambulance.

Bernard-commented, "Wow, Suzanna did... Mrs. Shield with her filial piety."

He politely left the word unsaid, but everyone understood exactly what he meant.

The Shields brothers scowled, their brows furrowed in anger.

Carson glared at Melody, his voice full of accusation. "Melody, you did that on purpose, didn't you? Suzie didn't mean any harm, but you stood by and let Bernard humiliate her, causing Nanny to faint. You're not filial!" Melody glanced at him coldly. "With a brain like yours, do you think you're qualified to question me?"

Derrick's gaze swept over the teacup before settling on Suzanna's flawless hands, his expression darkening.

The Shields's birthday banquet ended on a sour note.

Verónica was rushed to the hospital, and throughout it all, Melody had not once spared her a glance.

Suzanna's reputation suffered greatly from the banquet.

Before leaving, she approached Melody with her eyes brimming with tears. "You're still holding a grudge against me, aren't you?"

Melody raised an eyebrow, curious to see what Suzanna would do next.

Suzanna leaned in closer, her voice barely a whisper. "I heard you received an invitation to the Golden Financial Summit. Are you planning to attend?"

Suzanna's pale, fragile lips curved into a faint smile. "After staying up for five nights and

putting together the USB drive that took two months of hard work, you think you can outdo me?

"Why come just to humiliate yourself?"

Melody's smile turned cold as she slapped Suzanna.

The force made Suzanna cry out and collapse to the ground.

Her three brothers, startled, rushed over in alarm.

Melody looked down at Suzanna with a mocking smile on her lips.

"Suzanna, that latte, besides needing rose morning dew instead of fresh water, has one crucial step that even the barista doesn't know.

"You know," Melody said, her tone dripping with mockery. "If one day the Shields decide on a whim to have you personally brew a cup of latte...

"Hmm, if the taste is off, I wonder how they'd feel about it?"

Her words struck a nerve with Suzanna, turning her face a ghostly white.

Her three brothers hurried over, enraged.

"Melody, what gives you the right to hit Suzanna?"

Carson, particularly agitated, was ready to confront Melody physically, but was effortlessly held back by the towering Bernard.

Melody cast a slow, disdainful glance at Suzanna's pained and guilty expression. Her face remained calm and composed as she said, "She brought this upon herself.

"She was asking to be slapped.

"I only follow her request. Is there a problem with that?"

Her words only fueled the anger of the three brothers, but they were powerless to take action against Melody.

As night fell, Melody lifted her skirt and walked out, with Bernard trailing behind her. His imposing figure contrasted sharply with her delicate frame, like a fierce guardian escorting a delicate beauty.

As she reached the entrance of the Shields estate, she spotted a man sitting in a wheelchair. His face was stern, and his deep eyes were staring at her indifferently.

Under the streetlight, he wore a casual white shirt and black dress pants. Despite being seated, his long legs, bent at the knees, still revealed their impressive length, making him look like a husband waiting for his wife to come home from work.
