Melinda and Lilin hurried to the hotel, where Adam had just received news of Sophia's arrest. He was getting ready to head out and bail his eldest daughter out of jail, but Melinda and Lilin reached just in time to block the doorway.
Adam was startled to see Melinda. "Why are you here? Was your best friend already discharged from the hospital? But never mind that for now. I have some matters to handle right now. I'll be back soon, and I'll explain everything later. You can wait here with Lilin in the meantime!"
Melinda frowned. "And where are you going? Are you thinking of bailing out your daughter?"
"How do you know about that?" Adam asked. He turned to Melinda and stared at her in surprise.
Melinda snorted, "Why are you even thinking of bailing her out when she committed something so heinous? She'll never learn from her mistakes if you keep doing this, and she'll grow even bolder in the future! Adam frowned and said, "Don't be like that, Mel. Sophia might be stubborn, but her attitude isn't as extreme as you're making her out to be. Corinne must've set her up! I have to bail her out." Melinda sighed helplessly. "Set up? How on earth do you justify that? Your daughter tried to splash a bottle of acid on Corinne! Acid, for goodness' sake! She did it with the clear intention of harming Corinne. Who in the right mind would want to save her? If you bail her out now, she might take it a step further next time and resort to killing people!"
Adam was left speechless. "But..."
"Listen to me," Melinda interrupted, grabbing his arm. "Let her face the consequences of her actions. Let her bear the price of her wrongdoing so she'll finally learn her lesson. You can't keep indulging her like this! Spoil her any further and things will lead to disaster!"
After taking a deep breath, Adam closed his eyes and gradually composed himself. "You're right, Mel. I've been enabling her, and I should've taught her better so she doesn't do this sort of thing again."
Melinda patted his arm in the hopes that her husband would be able to see the bigger picture. "There are other things we need to discuss. Let's talk inside."
Adam followed Melinda back into the suite after he had calmed down.
"You can be frank with me now, Mel. I don't think there's anything else I won't be able to handle right now!" Adam sat on the sofa and massaged his temples.
Melinda led Lilin to sit next to him and sighed before saying, "Zachary went back to his home. He regained his memory, and his ability to walk. He's with Corinne now."
Adam was stunned for a moment but not entirely shocked by the news. "I thought as much when Sophia said that he went missing."
Melinda then continued, "Now that Zachary has returned, I'm pretty sure he'll want to settle scores with you and Sophia for everything that he went through in the past three years. You need to be mentally prepared."

Melinda looked at her husband with a
touch of sympathy, "Zachary is no longer someone you could
manipulate. He's the Holdens seion, and he has what it takes to deal with you!
