Shelia has lost her child, and Juan, who once cared for her, might soften upon seeing her grief,” Debra thought.


    Just then, several employees of the Nichols Group passed by, whispering to each other.


    “Did you hear? Mr. Nichols and Miss ir are getting engaged.”


    “For real? I thought it was just a rumor.”


    “Totally real. I overheard it in the meeting room today. Mr. Nichols really is going to get engaged to Miss ir.”


    “But why would they get engaged after losing the child? What’s Mr. Nichols thinking?”


    The chatter reached the ears of Erica and Randy, who both turned to look at Debra.


    Debra, however, seemed unperturbed. “Let’s go to my ce.”


    “Okay,” Erica replied, her voice filled with worry.


    She knew that Debra had once adored Juan, and their impending divorce was a hot topic in Seamar City. She couldn’t help but feel anxious about how Debra was handling the news.


    In her car, Debra pulled out her phone and called Ben.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    “Madam.”


    “Send another copy of the divorce agreement today. I think Juan will sign it.”


    “But we’ve already sent several copies before. He…”


    “He’ll sign it.”


    Debra was certain that with Juan’s decision to engage Shelia, he wouldn’t let her remain as Mrs. Nichols any longer.


    Debra nced onest time at the building, a small smile ying on her lips. Perhaps today would mark the end of her and Juan’s tangled history.


    Meanwhile, every channel on TV was abuzz with news about Juan and Shelia


    [Mr. Nichols and Miss ir entered a bridal shop.]


    [Mr. Nichols and Miss ir are getting engaged soon, having already met each other’s families.]


    Melody watched the news with growing fury. With a sudden burst of anger, she hurled the remote control


    onto the floor.


    “This is crazy!” Her face contorted with anger.


    Sophie quickly picked up the remote and tried to soothe Melody. “Mrs


    Nichols Sr., please take it easy.”


    Melody’s face darkened. “Take it easy? Hell no! Is Juan out of his mind? Engaging with a woman like Shelia? She killed her child. I will never ept such a vicious woman.”


    The grief of losing her great–grandson was still raw, and the thought of Shelia entering their family was unbearable.


    ‘Mrs. Nichols Sr…”


    “Go, get Juan over here. Hurry!”


    Sophie nodded and rushed to contact Joe. But before the call could connect, Juan walked into the room.


    Melody rose from her seat and pped him across the face. “Fool! Who permitted you to get engaged to Shelia behind my back?”


    “Grandma, isn’t this what you wanted?”


    “I reluctantly agreed to your marriage because she was carrying your child. Otherwise, do


    think I’d let such a woman into our family?” Melody said sternly. “As the head of the family, how could you make such a mistake? You need to hold a press conference right now. Shelia is noting to our house.”


    Juan seemed unmoved by her outburst. “Grandma, you always wanted me to divorce Debra, and I’m doing that. Now you want me to marry Shelia, and I agree. What else is there to be unhappy about?”
