Melvin's expression grew unusually serious, a rare sight for him. It was clear he was holding back his anger.
"Sasa," he said, his voice low, "I don't think you should go this teither. Even if you want to go back... I'm
afraid there are people who don't want you to."
Sarah's face paled slightly. "Melvin, are you talking about..." She didn't finish the sentence she didn't want to say
that person's nin front of him.
But how could Melvin not know who she meant? His face beceven more
stern.
"Sasa, honestly, neither of us needs to say the nout loud — we both know exactly who we're talking about.
I've told you before, I'll always protect you. No matter who tries to hurt you, I'll stand by you."
His eyes were sharp. His voice was calm but full of strength.
"And you've done nothing wrong," Melvin continued. "Speople are just too greedy. That's why they keep
setting traps, again and again, willing to do anything to get what they want. But I'm not that kind of person. I'll
never stoop that low."
Of course, Sarah understood exactly what he meant. But the last thing she wanted was for Melvin to fall out
completely with his mother because of her. He could oppose his mother for any reason, but not because of her.
She set down her utensils, reached out, and grabbed Melvin's arm.
"Melvin, Uncle Shawn has always treatedwell. It's his birthday. | really want to go. And | know he's hoping
you'll go too. | don't want him to be disappointed."
She shook his arm back and forth like a little girl pleading.
"Cwith me, okay?"

Melvin looked at her big, round eyes - like a kitten begging for attention — and was reminded of how she used to
act when she was little, always running to him, pouting or acting cute just to get a new bag or slittle thing
she wanted.
He sighed and gave in.
"Alright, let's go together."
Sarah instantly broke into a bright smile. She happily ladled him another bowl of soup.
"You have to finish this one too!"
Melvin let out a helpless laugh, feeling like, for a moment, she was still that little girl who hadn't quite grown up
yet.
Meanwhile, over at Reynolds Corporation, the atmosphere was unusually tense and busy.
Vivian had arrived, bringing along Matthew - the person in charge of Vista International Factory. She went
straight to the boardroom and called for a meeting with all the board members.
Steven sat there calmly with several other board members, listening to Vivian speak.
"Mr. Robertson, this is the inspection report. It clearly shows that the defect rate for this batch of parts has
reached 30%. That's way beyond the tolerance level stated in the contract," Vivian said coldly.
Even the best factories allow for a certain defect rate — but this was way over the line.
Vivian's sharp gaze swept across Steven's face, trying to read his reaction. In her heart, she was already
wondering how would Zachary get himself out of this one?
She already knew Sarah was back.

He finally spoke, his voice calm and collected.
“Miss Wilson, I'm actually very

Vivian threw the inspection report onto the table with a loud slap, her voice cold as ice.
"So what are you trying to say, Mr. Miller? That | planted this? | find it more curious that I've heard Zachary is
already back in East Coast. Yet he hasn't shown himself. Why is that?"
Steven suddenly let out a low laugh.
"Miss Wilson, you must be joking. Zachary's your fiancé - by right, he's much closer to you than to me. If he
didn't tell you he was back, why would he tell me?"
