    Melody learned aboutst night''s incident and made a scene at home.


    The Frazier family was also restless. Rosalie had long wanted to see Debra embarrassed. News of Juan leaving with another woman at the banquet had spread throughout their circle.


    Ralph bombarded her with phone calls, but Debra didn''t answer.


    When Joe took Debra back to the Nichols family''s house, Melody was smashing water ss against the wall. Juan was silent, but his clothes were disheveled. Marks of violence were on his body, and his face was pale. "Debra, you knew, right? And you let them do as they pleased?" Melody''s chest heaved with anger.


    "Juan likes her. There''s nothing I can do," Debra replied calmly, showing a detached attitude.


    She had already prepared for the worst-case scenario.


    If Juan exposed her enrollment at Arcane Academy, she would just divorce him.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    "I don''t get it. What''s so good about a college girl? Debra is prettier and more capable. Are you blind? How did I raise such a grandson?'' Melody fumed.


    "Grandma, it''s all my fault. It has nothing to do with Shelia. Please don''t involve her," Juan interjected.


    Melody stood up from the sofa and snapped, "I didn''t want to meddle too much in your affairs, but with your attitude now, I have to do this."


    She turned to Joe. "Contact the principal right away. Tell him to repeal that girl. If Juan goes on to associate with her, I will make sure she won''t survive in Seamar City."


    Debra watched coldly.


    As the matriarch of the Nichols family, Melody was powerful.


    But her time had passed. It was Juan who called the shot now. He was no longer that obedient boy he used to be.


    Juan stood up, surprising Melody. He said, "Grandma, I''ve listened to you over the years. Shelia is my creation. If you want to harm her, then I''ll have to oppose you."


    "How dare you?" Melody clutched her chest, infuriated.


    "Joe, take my grandmother home to rest. Her health isn''t good. She shouldn''t go out for a while," Juanmanded.


    "Yes, sir."


    Sophie was taken aback, but she dared not say anything. She could only assist Melody, afraid Melody might faint from anger.


    Melody was taken away, an oue surprising Debra.


    Juan went this far for Shelia, even defying Melody and angering her so.


    "Is there anything else for me here? If not, I''m leaving," Debra said, not wanting to speak more with Juan.


    She nned to go and clean up the mess with the Frazier family.


    "Your family called you?" he suddenly asked.


    "With the scandal going so wild, it''s hard to keep them in the dark," Debra replied.


    Juan frowned. "Do you have to jeer at me like that?"
