Chapter 26: Punished

Reagan's words made Sarah very embarrassed.She sat there like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Melody could tell that her older sister was frail just by looking at her.Even after being tormented like
that, she managed to keep her rage in control.Her hands were now tucked in her pockets, and her
chilly gaze is drawn to Reagan.She appeared serene but exuded a powerful aura, lowering the
surrounding pressure dramatically.

She said, in a hushed voice three seconds later, "Does it matter if she is expelled from the Sullivan
family? She's still a descendant of the Sullivan family, and you have the same mother”

Seniority and order are important to a wealthy and powerful family.

Despite Sarah's expulsion from the Sullivan household because of a man, she was still the eldest
daughter, and that was the only reason that her father, allowed her to come back.

The whole family gathered around to see.

To keep peace in the house, Quince had to mediate.

"Apologize to your eldest sister'’ Quince stated firmly to Reagan.

Reagan was very dissatisfied with the situation.He needed to punish Melody.But how could he make
her apologize first? Elizabeth intervened just in time to prevent a conflict from escalating.She snatched
her daughter by the arm and cast an unfriendly glance her way.Her tone was dignified, despite her flat
voice.

"Reagan, your father is right.Sarah is your eldest sister.You need to apologize' Reagan noticed
something else in her mother's eyes.She had to lower her head so and apologize to Melody before her
mother, Elizabeth, could be satisfied.She turned to face Sarah.The expression on her face was proud
and free of remorse.



She said hurriedly, "I apologize.I was mistaken a while ago."

With such an unapologetic attitude, Melody would have crippled Reagan long ago.

"Would you still dare to be arrogant, little girl?’' Sarah, on the other hand, eagerly accepted her sister's
apology and was even surprised.

Reagan had never apologized to her like that since they were young.She turned her head slightly and
looked at Melody from the corner of her eyes.

Sarah had initially feared that her second sister, Melody, whom she hadn't seen in years and whom she
hadn't spoken to in person since she was a child, would be bullied.

However, it would appear that her concerns were groundless.

She's stronger and more capable than she ever imagined! After Reagan apologized, she immediately
looked at Melody, "Daddy, I do apologize for what happened.But Melody should still be punished for
breaking the rules, right?"

"Mm!"

Quince replied with a groan, "Reagan's right.Because you've admitted your faults, you're ordered to go
to your grandfather's memorial this afternoon and reflect on your actions.You are also not allowed to
eat tonight"

"What era are we in?"

Melody was well aware that Quince was using this opportunity to demonstrate his strength to her, but
would she accept it if he did? Melody took a step forward and prepared to pass through the Sullivan
family members to leave.



After all, no one in the Sullivan had the power to stop her.

However, she did not anticipate someone would grab her wrist just as she was about to leave.

Melody turned around and gave Sarah a nasty look.She seemed indifferent to what she was doing.

Sarah appeared to have read Melody's mind.She had been obedient to the Sullivan family since she
was a child.She was well aware that she couldn't defy their orders.She was concerned that Melody
would be punished for her misbehavior.

"When Grandpa passed away, I wasn't able to pay my respects.Now that I've returned, I hope you can
accompany me to grandfather's memorial and allow me to show you my love and filial piety to grandpa"

"Let's go!"

Sarah looked at Melody, her eyes pleading like a pitiful young animal.She yanked Melody away as she
spoke.

Melody knew she could have easily shaken Sarah's hand off.

Melody was not sure why, but she couldn't help but give in.She was curious about Sarah's plans and
wanted to see what she could do to help.
