"Didn't see him."
"I don't know why, but Mr. Carlos looked strangely familiar. The way he stared at me made me uneasy..."

Christina clutched her chest, taking deep breaths to calm herself. Her face was pale, haunted by the thought that she might have let a troublemaker into their lives.
No wonder a fire had broken out tonight; it was clear someone had planned this.
Whoever dared to set fire to Shield territory was practically asking for death, and Christina was determined to make them pay.
"Mom, you may not have met him before, but you've seen his older brother. He's Spencer, Martin's younger brother."
"He disappeared from Somerville years ago, leaving Martin as a comatose patient in a nursing home. We all thought they'd abandoned Martin like some burden, but they didn't. Spencer is the prince of Aventras. He must have had his reasons for leaving back then. The whole time they were here in Somerville, they treated Melody like their own daughter. So maybe they misunderstood us, thinking we bullied her..."
"Of everyone here, the one Spencer likely wants revenge against is me. Melody only ended up in the Moore family as a stand-in for me. I sent her into that pit."
"Now, even though Edward seems to be doing well, his health is still fragile. The moment he dies, Melody will be left a widow, and I'll be the one to blame..."
"Honestly, I can't deny that I deserve it if Spencer wants revenge," Suzanna said, her voice quivering as tears filled her eyes. She brushed them away quickly, trying to keep them from falling.
After all, tonight's fire felt more like a warning.
She needed everyone to understand that Spencer was no one to Shields.

She'd observed Martin before; a financial genius in his youth, his way of dealing with rivals was to bring them to ruin.
As his younger brother, Spencer's methods were likely just as extreme.
Christina laughed coldly. "So, he's Spencer, is he? Even if his family once cared for Melody, she's my daughter. The Shields will do as we please with her-it's none of his business.
"Suzie, don't worry. No matter what happens, you still have your father and your grandfather to back you up.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
"Your grandfather has an ace up his sleeve, and nobody in Somerville would dare mess with us because of it.
"Even the Moores, a century-old pillar in Somerville, respects him. And Spencer? He's just a kid. Does he think he can do whatever he wants here?
"Remember, Melody chose to marry on your behalf. Don't overthink it, Suzie,
"If Spencer tries anything, your grandfather will protect you," Christina reassured, patting Suzanna's hand. But her gaze remained fixed on the Shield Residence, where flames still raged. By now, firefighters and rescue teams had arrived, charging in with hoses to rescue anyone inside. Everyone's attention was drawn to the scene, and Christina.couldn't help but worry. Cameron, Gary, please be safe.
The Shields couldn't afford any more tragedies.
An hour later, Cameron and Gary were finally rescued. Both had inhaled smoke and passed out in the fire, but thankfully, they only suffered minor burns and were still unconscious.

Christina wept, staying with them at the hospital.

For the next three days, she never left her sons' sides. With Sean abroad, focused on a project at a critical stage, all the Shields' burdens fell squarely on Christina's shoulders. Suzanna, ever considerate, stayed close by Christina's side as much as possible.
However, Suzanna was frail and couldn't care for Cameron and Gary for long before needing rest herself.
Out of concern, Christina urged her to return home and recuperate.
When Derrick arrived at the hospital and saw Cameron and Gary lying in the hospital beds, he felt a mix of emotions.
Seeing the Shield Residence, a place that had been part of his memories since childhood, reduced to rubble stirred even more complex feelings.
The day after the fire, Cameron woke up. Yet it was Gary, who had gone back in to rescue him, who remained in a coma for three days.
Since his accident, Cameron has kept a respirator in his room. That night, knowing he couldn't make it out, he had soaked a blanket and huddled in the bathtub, waiting for help. He came out of it without a single burn on him.
