"A middle-aged couple are arguing with the police. They're insisting that their daughter didn't commit any crand demanding her release," replied Edmund.

Lucas, feeling annoyed, put his hand on Melody's shoulder and tried to steer her forward. He wanted to leave the scene as quickly as possible.

Melody did not pay much attention to their conversation, but before they could take a few steps, a woman rushed toward them.

"So you're here too, you troublesgirl! Is it not enough for you to cause trouble for us when you were still living at home? Now you have to fryour sister, too? You're the reason she's being detained by the police? Is it too much to ask you to stop causing trouble for us?" The woman was none other than Helen. Ethan followed a few steps behind, and his face contorted in rage as well when he saw Melody.

"Melody, you worthless piece of sh*t! It's bad enough that you don't listen to us, but what has Wendy ever done to you? Why are you doing this to her? Her life will be ruined forever if she ends up with a criminal record! And that'll be your fault!" Melody frowned and took a step back. Her head hurt at seeing her parents there, though she had anticipated this reaction from them once they found out Wendy was in the police station. Throughout her life, she had grown used to their habitual neglect and blame.

Thus, she felt somewhat indifferent. She coldly listened to their accusations, not uttering a word, not showing a reaction.

On the other hand, Lucas had not met Melody's parents before. He could not tolerate it when he saw them pointing fingers and almost poking Melody's forehead, especially considering she was the victim. "Hey, put your hands down! Use your words!" Lucas, being tall and strong, swiftly intervened. He pushed Helen's hand away.

Helen recoiled, clutching her hand and crying out in pain.

Ethan held steady his wife and eyed Lucas warily. He was intimidated by his presence. "Who... Who are you? This is a family matter. Unrelated people like you should leave!" Lucas held Melody tightly in his embrace and glared at Ethan imposingly.

"Who I am has nothing to do with you, but she-she has everything to do with me! I suggest you show her srespect while talking to her." Helen scrutinized the elegant man in front of her. He appeared different from ordinary men, not just in stature but also in his extraordinary aura.

Her gaze inadvertently fell on Lucas' wrist, noticing the exceptionally high-end watch he was wearing. The brand of the watch was known for turning away moneyed clients, choosing only to sell to a select few prominent families. Thus, it was not something money could buy.

Most crucially, Lucas' hand rested protectively around Melody's waist.

'What is his relationship with Melody, and why is he interested in her?' wondered Helen puzzledly. Even though Melody was her daughter, she knew nothing about her.

"Excuse me, but this is a family matter. You're an outsider, so please refrain from getting involved, said e Helen. She then turned to Melody.

"Melody, how can you not even greet your parents? Is this how a daughter should behave?" Helen straightened her posture and tried to guilt-trip Melody.

"What? You want to disown us just because you happen to know a wealthy man?"

Helen never considered whether her words might hurt Melody. After all, in her mind, the only oxes important were wendy and Ethan. Her biological daughter was nothing to her.

Melody cynically thought that had Helen known she was having a daughter, she would haveundoubtedly opted for an abortion. sah th ind. et website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. X
