Lucas frowned. He was about to say something, but Melody gently stopped him by shaking her head. She then turned coldly to face Helen and Ethan.
"Yes, I've met a wealthy man, and that's why I don't think of you two as my parents anymore. Don't forget, we severed our ties long ago. You've already taken three million dollars from me, so you two have no right to stand here and lecture me!"
"Why you!" Ethan could not believe Melody would be so ungrateful. He erupted in anger. "No wonder you're so arrogant now, Melody. You found a stupid man outside to support you! Let me tell you: it's fine if you don't have any sense of shame, but you should not ruin our family's reputation! Now you've even landed your sister in jail. What are your intentions? Is it that you want to destroy our family completely?" Helen quickly placed a hand on his chest to soothe him. "Honey, don't get worked up. It's not worth ruining your health for this ungrateful girl."
She then turned back to glare at Melody, resentment evident in her eyes. "Apologize to your dad this instant, you ungrateful girl! Our family would've been able to live peacefully if it weren't for you. It's all your fault. There's never been a single day of peace in our home ever since you were born! Now you've harmed your sister, I really wish..."
"Really wish what? Really wish to strangle me, right? You think I want to be your daughter? Being born as your daughter is the unluckiest thing that ever happened to me! You're not the only one who thinks I shouldn't have been born. I wish I didn't have you as my mother as well!"
Melody's eyes burned with coldness and irony. Her whole body trembled while she was uttering those words. She might have collapsed if it were not for Lucas supporting her.
Ethan and Helen became even more furious at her retort, causing their insults to get even more vulgar.
"You shameless b*tch. Do you think you can say or do whatever you want just because you have the support of a wealthy man? Why don't you take a good look at yourself in the mirror first?! You're nothing but a wh*re!"
Lucas frowned, finding it hard to believe that these were words spoken by a mother to her own daughter, even if he witnessed it with his own eyes.
"Security!" Unable to tolerate it any longer and unwilling to let Melody endure further harm, Lucas beckoned his security team forward to separate the two parties.
The nearby police officers were also dumbfounded, unable to believe that Ethan and Helen were Melody's biological parents and not enemies.
Helen realized it was pointless to direct her tirade at Melody when she saw Lucas protecting her. Enraged, she continued to rant, "I can't believe this little b*tch managed to hook up with this man. She's the most heartless person I know! Can't she do something useful, like getting her sister out? The only thing she knows how to do is cause trouble for us. If I had known she was going to turn out like this, I should've strangled her to death back then..."
Ethan, also forcibly restrained, felt utterly humiliated. He wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it. "Enough, let go! Let's go check on Wendy. She must be scared out of her mind. She has never suffered like this in her life before!"
Lucas had led Melody away.
