NovelOnlineChapter 1935 It was clear that scolding Melody was not the immediate concern; Wendy's face mattered more.
After Wendy headed to the kitchen, Helen yanked Melody up from the sofa.
"Melody, how can you be so heartless? I told you to make Mister William happy, but you cback and hit Wendy instead? Do you know how crucial Wendy's appearance is? It's her livelihood!" lectured Helen.

Despite being her biological mother, Helen poured all her motherly love into Wendy, who was not even related by blood, leaving all grievances for Melody to bear.
Thus, Helen did not deserve to be her mother at all.
"What does her appearance have to do with me?" Melody forcefully pushed away Helen's hand, sneering. "Her career is none of my concern. If she wants success in the entertainment industry, she can fight for resources on her own. Why should I sacrifice myself for her?" Helen did not expect Melody to rebut her like this. After a moment of stunned silence, she reached out to slap ssense into Melody.
However, Melody swiftly blocked the slap with her hand.
"That's enough! Don't ever think you can hitlike that again!" growled Melody She forcefully pushed Helen away, causing her to stumble and almost fall to the floor. "Mom, I've been more than considerate to you. In fact, you don't deservecalling you 'Mom'!" "How dare you, Melody?!" Ethan, who had been silent, could not hold back any longer. He stood up and began scolding her, "Is this how you treat the woman who birthed you? You must be out of your mind!" Melody scoffed. "So what if she birthed me? Have you forgotten she's also the woman who's willing to pimpout to secure a role for her stepdaughter? No woman deserves to be called a mother for doing that! I used to do whatever you all toldto do because I thought we were a family, but I'm not stupid enough to let you humiliatelike this!" Helen looked at her disappointedly. "You've been sleeping around anyway, so what difference does it make if you sleep with Mister William? You can bask in Wendy's success too if you help her secure sroles! Melody, I used to think you were sensible. How did you beclike this?" Melody did not expect her mother would say something like that. Even though she no longer considered Helen her mother, hearing those words still broke Melody's heart.
At that moment, Wendy walked out of the kitchen, holding an ice pack to her face. "Melody, how could you talk to Dad and Helen like that? Are you even their daughter? It's downright rebellious!"
"I don't mind not being their daughter if this is the treatment I get," Melody ΟΠ replied with a bitter smile. She gazed coldly at Helen. "Starting from today, I'm no longer your daughter. I'm cutting ties with you." Melody thus turned to leave. However, Helen was not about to let her go so easily. She stretched out her arm to block her from leaving.

"You're cutting ties with me? Hmph! It's not that simple, Melody. We've spent a lot of money raising you over the years Did you really think you could just leave without giving anything back? Even if I agree, your dad won't!" It was clear that Helen was not concerned about losing Melody. Instead, she was just worried that the years of investment might not yield any returns.
"Just givea number, and I'll pay you back for all the money you've spent on raising me. But in return, all of you aren't allowed to botheragain," said Melody.
Honestly, Melody would be more than willing to settle everything with money.
Wendy sneered, eyeing her with contempt. "My, my, I see you've gotten sspine into you, haven't you? Do you even know how much Dad has spent over the past twenty or so years to raise you? It's not an amount that you can just conjure out of thin air, so there's no way you can pay him back!
