The powder, completely colorless and tasteless, was a flawless byproduct of Melody's efforts with YM Cosmetics.

It couldn't be detected by conventional medical instruments.

With a wealth of ancient remedies in alternative medicine, locating the right one didn't guarantee a swift preparation for the cure she was attempting to create.

For three exhausting days and nights, Suzanna and Kenrick had been at their wits' end over this.

At last, the absurdity had reached its conclusion.

As Melody walked into Regal Glade, fatigue evident in her steps, she contemplated whether she could find Spencer.

He was the epitome of wildness.

While he was with the Tuckers, he only heeded Martin's words.

He had a peculiar habit of debating with himself, constantly assuming the role of the devil's advocate. Now that he was back, he had surely given Melody more than one headache.

She had been trapped at the Shields, unable to visit Martin after the incident, which had widened the chasm between her and the Tuckers.

For a moment, she felt completely lost about how to face anyone from that family.

Though Spencer had returned to Sommerville, he was avoiding her.

She figured he must be harboring some deep-seated resentment.

Concerned for Melody's fatigue, Truman and Melanie had initially intended for her to spend the night at Regal Glade before heading home.

However, Edward had declined this arrangement.

Melanie shot an icy glare at Edward's receding form, her pride evident. Frustrated, she kicked the wooded chair while knitting her brows, a fleeting look of loneliness in her eyes. "Truman, does your son truly dislike me that much?

"He wouldn't even allow me to stay here for just one night.

"Does he think I'm going to do him harm or something?

"Neither Edward nor Felicity has ever genuinely respected me as a mother. My biological son had been overseas for four years. Here in this expansive Regal Glade, I feel like a prisoner, utterly isolated." Melanie lamented, recalling how Edward's biological mother had brought Felicity to her when she was

recovering from childbirth, leading to lasting health issues that prevented her from having more children.

She never held any grudge against Edward.

Although she favored her own son when they were little, she had neve scrimped on Edward's needs and offered generous financial assistance.

What baffled her was why, after all these years, Edward still regarded her with such indifference.

He didn't share a particularly close bond with Alfred either.

What more could she do to earn her stepson's approval?

Truman wrapped his arms around Melanie's waist, pulling her closer to offer comfort. "Alright, don't let this get to you.

"Edward just got married.

"Doesn't he deserve a bit of time alone with his new wife, working toward their future?

"And why are you getting jealous of Mel?"

Truman's remark effectively silenced Melanie.

Then the captivating lady huffed, "Hmph, who said I'm jealous?

"He's not my biological son. I have my own son to worry about.

"I don't even care about him."

As they exchanged barbs, Alfred bounded back into the room. Spotting his parents together, his energy surged.

"Mom, Dad, I'm not spending the night at Regal Gladel

Truman frowned. "Feeling a bit rebellious, are we?

"Should I fetch a baseball bat to teach you a lesson?"

Alfred thought, He's truly the king of double standards.

But too bad. I'm a smart guy who gets the bigger picture, so I won't hold this against him.

So, Alfred continued, "Dad, you're not getting it.

"I'm off on a special mission Grandma assigned me!

"You can't hit me. My mom will be upset!"

Melanie narrowed her sparkling eyes, inspecting her son from head to toe.

With a cool, affectionate tone, she remarked, "Honey, you can hit him if you want

"I can't pity someone who looks like they deserve a beating."

Alfred felt like crying. Is this really my mother?

Had I known returning home would lead to such consequences, I would never have come back!

Truman nodded with satisfaction as
