In her clumsiness, Suzanna had tore the hem of her dress and there was also a ball coming up this

weekend.

Every time something like this happened, Christina would gently stroke Suzanna's head and say, "Suzie, dear, Mel is your older sister; it's only right for her to give in to you. If she likes the dress, I'll give her money to buy another one. Your ball is more important; you wear your sister's dress first. Here's money for her to buy a new one; make sure you give it to her."

At the time, Derrick's birthday banquet was just around the corner.

Christina had naturally prepared gowns for all her daughters.

That was the first time Melody received a gift from Christina, even though the dress was clearly not her size. Still, she cherished it.

But before she even had a chance to try it on, Christina called her over, asking her to let Suzanna wear it first. She was holding her hand and explaining in a gentle tone, "Mel, you're the older sister. It's only right to let your younger sister wear it first. Suzanna needs it more. She's younger and not well. What harm is there in letting her wear it just once?"

So Melody let her.

On Derrick's birthday party day, the hall was full of guests, yet Melody couldn't even come downstairs because she didn't have a decent dress to wear.

She knew Derrick cared about appearances, and she didn't want to embarrass him.

After the banquet ended, Christina came to her. She was furious, calling her a wild, uncouth girl from the countryside who had no manners and refused to attend the party.

When Mel told her the truth, Christina's face darkened further. She chided, "Didn't I give you money to buy a new dress? And now you're blaming Suzanna? She just borrowed it for one night, and you're making such a fuss? Mel, you're being ridiculously petty." Melody was stunned and simply replied, "Mom, you didn't give me any money for a new dress."

Melody wasn't exactly poor when she returned to the Shields, but she carefully spent every penny she had on the family.

As for herself, she found it hard to justify spending money on something as extravagant as a dress.

"I distinctly remember giving the money to Suzie. She has never lied since she was little. Are you saying she didn't give it to you? Why do you always drag Suzie into everything? Such a deep and cunning mind at -such a young age-who did you learn this from?" Christina then pulled Suzanna in to confirm.

The frail, pale girl stared at Mel in disbelief. She shook her head and said, "Mel, Mom gave me a card with half a million dollars, and I definitely gave it to you! The card is right there on your nightstand. You know that. You said you wanted to save it... to help... to help. I'm so sorry, Mom! I knew this wasn't right, but I just couldn't help covering for her. Mel only wanted to help those people from the Tuckers."

Each pitiful word of denial wove an invisible web around Melody.

She could only watch as Christina reached into the nightstand and pulled out the card.

Right in front of her, Christina confiscated it. Her voice was cold and sharp. "Mel, not only do you bully your sister, but you dare to lie? I'm tak
