    The fragile girl nestled into her brother''s embrace, her earlier bravadopletely shattered, her eyes dimmed by despair.


    A torrent of resentment twisted in her heart.


    However, their way was blocked by Bernard and Brandon.


    Carson''s expression darkened. "Move aside!


    "Why are you stopping us?Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Bernard, this is the Golden Financial Summit, not the Moores'' territory!"


    Carson recognized Bernard as Edward''s right-hand man and understood the reason for their obstruction-it was all in defense of Melody.


    Yet, considering Suzanna''s current state, it felt excessive to keep pressing them.


    "Exactly, we''re in Griffin territory here.


    "Your scheming little sister bullied Melody; this is something we need to address."


    Zac''s piercing gaze locked onto them, radiating an unruly confidence.


    Dressed in a ck work jacket and casual pants that clung to his long, muscr legs, he wore a deep gray newsboy cap that cast a shadow over his cold, sharp eyes. His thin lips curled into a sardonic smirk. Carson was taken aback. "Zac!!"


    Rumor had it that Zac was a former military operative, someone who had executed covert missions for the nation before mysteriously retiring to enter the business world.


    In the corporate sphere, he appeared rxed and carefree, but beneath that surfacey a ruthless edge that rivaled even Edward''s.


    After Edward''s incident three years prior, the title of "the Devil" had shifted to Zac, despite his seeminglyid-back demeanor.

    "You''re just a celebrity. Do you think you can prevent me from standing up for Melody?"


    Zac chuckled lightly, but his smile held no warmth.


    Those familiar with his nature understood that the deeper his smile, the more terrifying he


    was.


    The term "celebrity" immediately highlighted the disparity in status between Carson and Zac.


    Zac was the CEO of Griffin Group, while Carson was simply a singer!


    Griffin Group owned an entertainmentpany, and to them, someone like Carson was just a tool for profit.


    In their eyes, he was insignificant.


    Zac''s words were a tant p in the face.


    Yet, the power gap between Griffin Group and the Shields was so vast that Carson couldn''t afford to offend them.


    Frowning, he held Suzanna closer, his agitation growing. Melody had merely married into the Moores for Suzanna''s sake, yet she received all the best resources, shielded by these powerful figures. What had Suzanna gained?


    She was gentle and kind; without a bit of cunning, how could shepete with Melody''s ruthless strategies?


    "Someone, put her down and douse her with red wine!


    "She stole Melody''s proposal and then twisted the truth to frame her. Did she think ying the victim would save her?"


    Zac smirked wickedly, his lips curling into a malicious grin.


    "That''s not happening."


    "I want her to grovel and apologize to Melody herself."


    Melody was Mrs. Moore, but she was also uniquely herself!


    In Zac''s eyes, she was the delicate flower once protected by Martin

    "Mr. Griffin, are you really trying to bully us?"

    Zac simplyughed, as if he had heard something amusing. With a flick of his finger, he gestured to clean his ears, his gaze frosty. "Why not leverage my power?


    "What''s wrong with bullying you? Are you going to retaliate?"


    So bold! Recklessly bold!


    But no one found it inappropriate.


    Zac had no interest in further dialogue.


    With a nce, he signaled to his bodyguards.


    Immediately, they moved to wrench the injured Suzanna from Carson''s arms and throw her to the ground!


    Then, a ss of red wine was poured directly onto Suzanna''s face, the liquid stinging as it made contact with her wounds.


    Suzanna attempted to feign unconsciousness, but as she noticed a second ss being prepared, she quickly opened her eyes and curled up.


    She scanned the room, catching the indifferent nces aimed her way, searching for Melody and Edward.
