Remember, keep everything that has to do with the Sanders on the down low, and letdeal with them directly." Lucas was worried that making too much noise about this matter would alert the Sander family before he could strike. Moreover, if Beatrice found out about these things, she would go over to the Sanders' residence and cause a scene, which would not be good for Melody.
After hanging up the phone, Lucas stood on the balcony for a while before going back to Melody's side. Seeing Melody frowning even in her sleep, he felt his heart ache even more. "Are you feeling this way because you haven't let go of those people yet?" Lucas understood that Melody was deeply sentimental and loyal. Even though her family had never treated her with kindness, it was still difficult for her to completely sever ties with them.

These days, the people who used to know about our family's affairs keep askingabout what kind of person Melody is. I'm embarrassed to even answer them. It's all because of that daughter of yours. She's ruined our family's reputation!"
Helen was already irritated especially since Ethan did not spend much tat home. With only her and Wendy in the house, she always felt like she had to be submissive and accommodating to Wendy. However, she could not even earn a smile from her in return. She had been harboring resentment for a long time.
"You're good at shifting blame, aren't you? Isn't Melody your daughter as well? You should acknowledge your share of responsibility is it solely my fault that she's turned out like this?
