It was only then Helen began to pay attention to Melody, but it was already too late.
Melody got up from the sofa and walked to stand in front of the three of them.
"Mom, Dad, besides explaining my situation with Wendy today, I came back to tell you that I'm getting married."
"Melody, marriage is a big deal! How could you make such a decision without discussing it with us? Do you still regard your parents with any respect?" asked Wendy, seizing the opportunity to stir up trouble again.
Her casual remarks immediately ignited Ethan and Helen's anger.
Helen stood up, took a few steps forward, and slapped Melody.
"Who gave you permission to get married? Who are you marrying? Did you even ask for our opinion? Don't tell me you've become a mistress and ruined someone else's family!"
Melody covered her throbbing cheek and turned to look at Helen disappointedly.
"Mom, I've said it before. I haven't been involved in any homewrecking! Marriage is my own business. It's a matter of personal choice, and I don't need to ask anyone else for their opinion!"
Throughout Melody's life, Helen directed all her efforts toward pleasing Wendy in order to win Ethan's favor. In the end, she neglected Melody.
Ethan, who had been silent with a serious expression, finally asked her, "Melody, who are you marrying?"
Melody turned to him and said, "You don't know him. After we get married, I'll find a time to introduce him to you..."
"Oh, Melody! Please don't tell me you really want to be a mistress and get together with an old man!" Wendy looked at her with a feigned concern as if she were a good sister genuinely afraid that her younger sister might go astray. "He's totally playing you. He's not going to leave his wife for you. Melody, turn back while you can. Please don't do anything foolish!"
Wendy's words reminded Helen of something. She reached out and pulled Melody.
"Melody, I won't allow you to go find some old man and ruin someone else's family!"
"Mom, I've told you this over and over again. I'm not involved with an older man! If you've forgotten, I can show you the video again!"
Melody was truly exhausted.
Helen frowned. "Even if that's true, you still can't just go and marry anyone! Let me ask you-did that man offer you any engagement gifts? How much money did he spend on buying gold and organizing the wedding?"

As it turned out, Helen was not concerned about the kind of person Melody was marrying. She cared only about whether Melody had sorted out the terms and conditions before agreeing to the marriage. Melody lowered her head and forced a wry smile. "There are no gifts, and he didn't give me any money." Visit Popsnovel.com to read the latest

"What?!" Helen exclaimed in disbelief. "No way! We've spent a fortune to raise you. You can't just give yourself away like this. No, I won't allow it."

Before Ethan could speak, Helen rushed over and said, "Melody, how can you
talk to your dad like this? We've raised you for so many years and spent so much! Did we do it all for nothing?!" In the end, all they cared about was money.
