Semua Bab Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right: Bab 1201 - Bab 1210

"No," Joe replied.What was done was done. The shareholders had unanimously voted out Theda. The company was now under Drake's control."Good," Debra said, turning to Ivan. "Let's go."Ivan followed behind her, still in disbelief. With just a few words, she had swayed the shareholders.Now the Nichols Group was firmly in Drake's hands.Randy was lounging in the car, lazily yawning. When he saw Debra and Ivan approach, he quipped, "Took you long enough. All sorted?""Yes.""Wonderful!""Yeah. And I've figured out who was threatening Ivan with his family."Ivan jerked up his head, skeptical about it."You know who it was?""I don't know who's pulling the strings, but the one who told you to act must be Robert."Ivan's brows knitted together. He didn't expect her to suspect Robert."What's wrong? You don't think so?""I don't know.""Your expression says you know something about the mastermind. Don't tell me you're still hiding things from us?"Ivan lowered his head. "I re

"Just let them go like that? That's too lenient." Randy shook his head as he watched the group walk away.Debra replied, "They're just workers taking orders. They didn't complete their mission, so there was no money for them. And they got beaten up. Keeping them here is meaningless.""Fair point." Randy nodded.Debra turned to Marion. "Are you hurt?""Not at all." Marion spread his arms wide for her to check. "They couldn't even reach me."Randy mimicked their interaction as he turned to Erica."Are you hurt? Let me check.""What do you think? Just a bunch of weaklings.""Aren't you invincible?""That's right."Barton entered the room and said, "Mrs. Houston, Joe is here."Joe stepped inside. "Mrs. Houston.""What's the matter?" Debra asked, unsure of the situation.She had just left the office, and Joe came to see her. It couldn't be anything good."Mrs. Nichols Sr. would like to see you," Joe replied.Erica stepped forward. "Debra is part of the Houston family now. We

"What do you mean?" Debra said."I don't want those things anymore. They're all yours," Melody explained. "But you must return those shares.""Are you sure you understand the situation?" Debra asked. "My shares are worth far more than a hundred chests like yours. You're letting greed cloud your judgment.""I..." Melody faltered.She certainly knew the worth of the shares, but this was already her best offer."Those shares were given to you by Juan. Don't you care about his feelings?" Melody argued, glancing at Marion.He met her gaze, and she quickly looked away. "You didn't spend a single dime on the shares. My jewelry should be enough for your appetite.""You see, Juan willingly transferred the shares to me. I didn't force him," Debra reasoned. "It's a done deal. As for your treasures, I've kept them long enough. You're welcome to redeem them anytime.""I..." Melody's face darkened.With Juan absent, she didn't have enough money to reclaim those items. Worse still, the share

At the Potter Mansion, Randy and Erica hauled a large chest downstairs.Erica put her hands on her hips, panting. "Melody Nichols sure knows how to hoard stuff. What even is this? It's so heavy.""We've seen it," Randy replied. "It's all jewelry. Oh, and 50 kilograms of gold bars."Erica rolled her eyes. "50 kilos? Thought it'd be some crazy amount.""That's still worth 20 million dollars, you know," Randy said, opening the chest.They had checked out the contents with Debra before, though they hadn't gone through it carefully.Now they had to find anything similar to that sapphire ring. Digging through all this jewelry was going to be a massive job."The collection is no joke. Some of these pieces are decades old.""Maybe it's part of her dowry. Dowries are worth a fortune."Erica's eyes sparkled, but Debra shrugged. "Not sure, but it's worth at least 200 million.""What do you think of this necklace?" Erica said, draping a necklace around her neck. "Pretty nice, huh? Easily

Arriving at the Houston Mansion, Marion shoved open the door to the study.The noise startled Caleb, who glared at him. "What are you doing? You scared the hell out of me."Debra nudged Marion, while Erica dashed to Caleb's side with a big smile."It's been ages since I came to see you," she said enthusiastically."Don't even try. Every time you show up, there's trouble," he mumbled, glancing at them. "What's the deal?"Marion placed the three gemstones on the table."What's this? Trying to bribe me? Or do you want me to appraise them?" Caleb asked, not taking it seriously.Then he noticed Marion's solemn expression and adjusted his reading glasses to take a closer look.His expression changed. He picked up one of them and inspected it carefully."Where did you get them?" he asked."One was bought at an auction. One was from Melody Nichols. The third one was a wedding gift," Erica explained.Caleb frowned. "The Nichols family? Why would they have something like this?"Debra
