Chapter 603
Shocked, Joe took out his phone and saw an avalanche of online comments.
He couldn't believe Melody had exposed the divorce agreement between Debra and Juan.
"Mrs. Nichols Sr., do you realize the consequences?"
"Consequences?" Melody let out a cold laugh and said, "The consequence is that Debra can no longer cling to Juan."
The shareholders echoed her words.
"That's right. Debra is broke. Without Mr. Nichols' support, she couldn't even find a place in this city."NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"I bet she got into that high-end variety show because Mr. Nichols pulled some strings for her."
"Mrs. Nichols Sr. is truly wise. Not only did she expose the divorce agreement, but she also leaked those photos of Debra cheating with that gigolo. With this, there's no need to worry about our stock price falling. After all, it was Debra who messed up this time." They rang praises of Melody, who smiled with delight.
She had been furious, feeling cornered by Debra's boldness during their previous confrontations, but now that someone had fed her the details of the divorce agreement, she finally could get back at Debra and crush Debra's arrogance.
Joe was fuming, but there was nothing he could do. Without wasting another second, he rushed out of the meeting room and called Juan.
No one was answering. His anxiety mounting, Joe paced back and forth. Suddenly, the sharp sound of heels echoed down the hallway.
Shelia walked in, wearing a white dress. The hem fluttered lightly as she moved the off-shoulder design elegantly revealed her collarbones and the graceful curve of her neck, adding a hint of sensuality to her otherwise innocent appearance. The cinched waist of the dress highlighted her slender frame, making her appear even more delicate.
"Long time no see, Joe," she greeted him with a sweet smile.
There was something about her demeanor that felt different. Though he couldn't quite place it, Shelia seemed more poised and refined. She no longer carried the timid, small-town girl vibe she once had.
In fact, her appearance and manners were now indistinguishable from any of Seamar City's high-society debutantes.
Shelia confidently pushed open the

through the crack in the door, honet
saw Melody and Shelia chatting happily, as if they were long-lost friends.
He was stunned. Juan had been gone for just one day. Yet Melody's attitude toward Shelia had changed so drastically.
Meanwhile, Debra had just returned to the villa when she collapsed with a high fever.
In her dreams, she seemed to be floating high in the sky, slowly falling back to earth. Through the mist, she vaguely made out a coffin being lowered into the ground by four people. Juan stood before a gravestone, silently caressing it.
After a while, he finally said, "I will avenge you. Whoever did this to you will pay the price."
Debra frowned and tried to get closer for a better look, but by the time she got near, Juan had already walked away.
'Avenge me?' she muttered, turning to the gravestone.
On it was written: [Debra, My Beloved Wife].
