Semua Bab Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right: Bab 691 - Bab 700

Juan's words annoyed Debra.Michael swiftly stepped in front of her and shot back, "It seems your taste has taken a bit of a nosedive lately."His gaze flicked to Shelia, his tone sharpening. "I wonder what tricks Miss Miles used this time. You seem to have an uncanny connection with the rich and powerful."Shelia's smile remained firmly in place. "Juan and I are soul mates, and we are engaged. Since you've been locked up at the police station, I presume you don't know about Ms. Frazier and Mr. Houston's engagement. But still, the way you two are pulling on each other is indecent."Michael's disdain for Shelia was written all over his face, but before he could form a retort, Ben got out of the car and jogged up to them.He said, "Mr. Austin, it's good to see you free at last. Mr. Houston is waiting in the car. We should get going."Shelia saw through the lie instantly, her voice dripping with mockery. "Oh, Ben, are you covering for Mr. Austin now? Mr. Houston just let his fiancée

Juan, noticing Melody's distress, quickly stepped forward to support her."Grandma, what's wrong?" he asked, his voice laced with worry.Melody shook her head. "It's nothing."Juan turned to Debra and demanded, "What did you do to my grandma?""Nothing. Didn't you see it?" Debra said, retreating to Marion's side.Turning back to Melody, she asked, "Why did you act like you'd seen a ghost?"Melody averted her gaze and stammered, "I saw the news and thought..."Debra said smoothly, "That was all fake. Didn't I clarify everything already? Look, I'm standing right here, alive and well."Hearing her usual tone, Melody began to calm down. Since Debra was alive, Melody realized that she had been duped by Violet.The thought of her losing 30 million dollars made her heart ache. That money had come from selling off a portion of her jewelry collection.Melody's expression further convinced Debra that she was behind the kidnapping.Shelia stepped forward and hooked her arm around Melod

The silence stretched out, each second ticking by like an eternity. Shelia's back ached from the prolonged bow, but she couldn't straighten up until Debra acknowledged her.Her resentment simmered, threatening to boil over."I'm not someone unreasonable," Debra finally spoke. "I just hope that you will pay more attention to your speech. Don't jump to conclusions and embarrass the Nichols family."She cast a meaningful glance at Melody, whose face was full of shame.By tomorrow morning, the three socialites present would undoubtedly spread tonight's events far and wide. The story of Shelia bowing to Debra would be all over town. When that happened, no one would be confused about who held more power in Seamar City.Frustrated, Melody huffed at Juan, "Take her home.""Yes, Grandma," Juan replied, walking over to Shelia and taking her hand.She started to tear up, and Juan's face softened with concern. But to Debra, the scene was nothing short of laughable.As the others began to d

Erica muttered in confusion, "Is Marion planning for you to work?"She couldn't quite wrap her head around what Marion was up to.Since early that morning, they had all been in a flurry of activity, helping Debra get ready. She had anticipated some grand proposal event, but instead, Marion had Randy drive them to the McKinney Group headquarters.Several employees huddled together, their eyes fixed on the car."Hey, check it out. Is that a Ferrari?""Is some big-shot CEO visiting our company today? I didn't hear anything about it."...As Randy lowered the car window and removed his sunglasses, those female employees couldn't help but blush. His eyes scanned the crowd, causing a flutter of excitement among the onlookers.He was a regular guest to different companies, and his looks were good, making him quite popular among the female employees."Isn't that Mr. Osborne? What brings him here?""He's looking at me.""No way. He's obviously looking at me."They elbowed each other

Debra found herself momentarily lost in thought as Marion stepped to her side.She whispered, "What game are you playing this time?"Marion didn't respond verbally, his lips curling into an enigmatic smile. He took her hand, a display of affection in everyone's eyes.Shelia's eyes flashed with annoyance. Her voice cut through the air, laced with irritation. "Mr. Houston, I get that you and Ms. Frazier are getting engaged, but I think you're stepping over the line here."Marion didn't even bother looking at her. He instructed Ben, "Show it to her.""Yes, sir," Ben replied, stepping forward to hand Shelia a document.Her face drained of color as she read the content.Ben went on to declare, "A year ago, Mr. Houston invested eight billion dollars into the McKinney Group, securing a 25% share. This grants him decisive authority over major decisions."Murmurs erupted across the room."Eight billion dollars? Is it true?""The appointment letter is right here. How could it be fake?"
