Chapter 428 You've Been Enchanted
Knox cast a brief, suspicious glance at Suzanna.
Sean grew tense as he stared at her, but he ultimately decided to trust her.
Suzanna was the girl he had watched grow up. How could she possibly be as cruel as Ingrid suggested?
In truth, he thought such behavior was more likely to come from Melody.
Ever since that jinx returned to their home, everything had become even more chaotic.
Despite being married, she still managed to disturb their family's peace.
Sean quickly moved in front of Suzanna, standing up for her. His glare was fierce as he turned to Ingrid, his voice harsh.
"Mrs. Ingrid, I think you've been enchanted by Melody to act like this!
"Suzanna and Cam have always been close. She would never hurt her brother.
"Besides, who can prove Melody was behind the incense and massage? Suzanna isn't an all-powerful figure at home. If she had been impersonating Melody, it would've been obvious by now.
"Suzanna is too kind, which is why even someone like you can treat her badly!
"I'm officially informing you that you're fired—you're out of here, along with your husband!
"We don't need any ungrateful servants like you!"
Sean's protective words gave Suzanna a boost of confidence.
She stood behind him, looking fragile, her pale lips trembling. She swayed as if she could barely keep her balance.
Sean quickly reached out to steady her, his heart aching for her.
"Don't worry, Suzie. I'm here for you.
"Melody doesn't acknowledge me as her father and insists on having an unknown 'adoptive father.' I don't want a daughter like that!"
"Sean Shield, you're truly blind!" Ingrid snapped furiously.
"Go ahead and fire me! I don't care anymore. Since you trust Suzanna so much, why don't you ask her? If the incense she made was truly good for Mr. Cameron's legs, why didn't she provide the healing incense in the final week?
"All the Shields' servants know about this—you can ask them yourself!"
Ingrid spoke with unwavering confidence, her words leaving little room for doubt.
All eyes were now on the situation, and Sean remained rooted to the spot. Although his instinct was to shield Suzanna, he couldn't ignore the fact that Cameron was his son.
He had no choice but to remain impartial.
"Mr. Shield, if you believe in Suzanna, shouldn't you prove her innocence?" Ingrid challenged.
"Until the truth comes to light, I'm willing to stake everything to uncover it. No one is leaving this place until this is resolved!"
