From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

Sophie pulled the box out. With an impatient wave of her hand, Melody said, “Just put it up there.”

“Yes”

“Wait,” Debra interrupted. “Leave it here for now. I’ll be taking it to my place in a bit.”

Melody shot a suspicious glance at her.

“What are you planning? To live apart from Juan?”

“I’ve recently bought a new place closer to my office. Juan

ily aware of it. We’ve already discussed it

You don’t have to worry about that.”

“But what about this suitcase?”

“Don’t you trust me? The contract’s right here. If anything goes missing. I’ll take full responsibility. Besides, Juan and I are remarried now. His money is mine to spend as I wish. Why would I care about such a small amount of money?”

Meindy’s face darkened at Debra’s subtle bragging. She couldn’t understand how Juan had fallen for such

a woman in the first place.

Sophie, still holding the suitcase, offered, “Madam, this suitcase is quite heavy. Should I help you take it to your car?”

“No need,” Debra replied, standing up. “My ride is already here. I’ll handle it.”

From outside, the sound of a car engine revving could be heard.

Sophie tried to help, but Melody snapped irritably, “Let her go. If she says she doesn’t need help, we won’t bother. If some other woman shows up in her place, it won’t be our problem.”

Melody’s pointed jab hung in the air, but Debra didn’t let it get under her skin. With the suitcase in hand, she calmly walked out.

Marion got out of the car to help her load the suitcase into the trunk.

Her eyes narrowed as Melody took in the scene through the window.

“Who’s that driver? Have we seen him before?”

“No, I don’t think he’s one of ours. Can’t say I recognize him.”

All Sophie could make out was a tall figure, sharp and handsome even from a distance. Melody’s expression soured even more.

“Debra and Juan have been at odds for a while now. Don’t tell me she hasn’t had a man on her side this

whole time.”

“Mrs. Nichols is not that kind of person.”

“Why are you always defending her?”

1. 1.

Melody waved her hand dismissively. Just keep a close eye on Debra. Make sure she doesn’t do anything that could embarrass our family. If she does have someone else on the side, I don’t care if it makes us money or costs us dearly. Juan will divorce her.”

“Will do.”

“And if you find even a hint of evidence, let me know immediately. I’ll make sure she regrets ever stepping

foot in this house.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Understood.”

In the car, Marion helped Debra buckle her seatbelt.

“Everything sorted out?”

“Yes. And I stumbled across something interesting.”

She held up her hand, flashing the ring in front of Marion’s face.

“This used to belong to royalty. I have a feeling there’s a big secret hidden behind this little treasure.”
