"And who does that arrogant b*stard think he is?! I don't care if he's the mafia boss; he shouldn't be allowed to act so brazenly here! What gives him the right to have people restrain us? Where is he? I'm going to report this!" Helen's continued yelling disrupted everyone, prompting a police officer to cand address the situation. "Ma'am, if I were you, I wouldn't talk about Mister Lucas like that. I don't think the consequences are something you can bear." The officer's stern tone left Helen and Ethan intimidated.

Just so you know, except for the police station, all the properties in this area belong to their company. Even the place you live in might be developed by his company! With a stamp of his foot, he can shake the whole business world. Only ignorant people like you would dare to shout at him like that!" "W... What?!" Helen and Ethan looked at each other, both surprised that Melody, whom they considered a worthless piece of junk, could attract such a high-profile figure.
They felt a chill down their spines when they recalled their earlier behavior, where they not only verbally insulted Lucas but also attempted to physically confront him.
It was only then they realized how fortunate they were to escape potentially severe consequences. Thanks to the timely intervention of security, Helen did not manage to kick Lucas' leg.
Beads of cold sweat started forming on Ethan's forehead. Someone like Lucas could easily squash them like an ant.
"I've told you to control your temper, but you never listen. Look at what you've done! What are you going to do now that you've offended a big shot?" berated Ethan agitatedly.
Helen pursed her lips, feeling indignant but choosing not to speak. He too insulted Lucas, so why was he only blaming her? "Someone of that stature won't bother with us. Ethan, I don't think you should man up a little..." "Man up? Do you think I'm not man enough? I'm only thinking of this family! Yes, under normal circumstances, someone of his stature wouldn't bother with us. But your precious daughter Melody is currently with him, isn't she?

Meanwhile, Melody covered her eyes as soon as they got into the car. She felt powerless and sad. Though she had grown used to her mother's treatment of her, she felt like her dignity was torn to shreds since this time, Lucas was there to witness it all. Lucas turned slightly to look at her. "What's wrong? Are you unwell?"
Melody did not answer him. Instead, she just said, "You saw it too, right? That's how my family is. They think it was a mistake to bringinto this O world. Everything I do is wrong. Even from the moment they sawto when I left, they didn't askwhy Wendy was detained. They didn't care to show any concern foror ask why I did what I did.
