Debra continued, "Take the evidence to Hester. Let her know that while she can have the evidence, the Nichols family will never give the Vargas family any more benefits, nor will they coborate on any projects in the future. If Hester is still upset, she can use that


    evidence to threaten Melody and get the one billion dors inpensation."C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    Joe, treading cautiously, asked, "Madam, are you trying to clear Mr. Nichols from all of this?"


    "He had nothing to do with this in the first ce. I''m not doing him any favors," Debra replied nonchntly.


    The truth was, even if Juan were to handle the situation himself, he would have done so even more cleanly than she ever could. But Debra had no intention of letting Melody live out her days in peace. The evildoers had to pay for their actions.


    Soon after, the Vargas family members arrived at the Nichols family''s house, apanied by awyer. The atmosphere in the room shifted the moment Melody saw Hester walk in with her parents. "Who let them in here? Sophie, get them out."


    "Mrs. Nichols Sr., we''ve been friends for so many years How could you send your driver to ruin Hester''s life?"


    Hester''s father, Jenson Vargas, was short in stature but had a fiery temper. He threw a stack of documents onto the table. The papers disyed photos of a tall, middle-aged man sneaking into Hester''s room.


    Melody''s expression darkened. She hadn''t expected the Vargas family to get their hands on such


    incriminating evidence. Not only were there photos, but the documents also included recordings from the car''s dashboard camera.


    They captured her instructions to the driver, detailing how to tarnish Hester''s reputation. Every piece of evidence wasid out in ck and white.


    Melody sneered, "Are you trying to threaten me?"


    "This isn''t a threat," Jenson said coldly. "This is about thepensation you promised Hester. She hasn''t even graduated from college yet. She spent all her time serving you, and is this how you repay her? What did she do wrong to deserve this?" "Your daughter is worthless. I was simply helping her achieve her dream of marrying into a wealthy family. She''s been freeloading in our house this whole time. I''d say she''s already gotten what she deserves." "How


    can you say that, you wicked old hag? Hester, you don''t need to be polite with her anymore. Take it out, Jenson snapped.


    Hester wasted no time pulling out a contract. On it was Melody''s signature, agreeing to voluntarily give


    Hester one billion dors inpensation


    And in the short time since receiving the contract, they had already had it notarized. The document was now legally binding, and if Melody didn''t transfer the money to them within three days, she''d face legal


    action.


    Melody was taken aback, but she refused to give in. "Do you think suing me will get you that money? Juan


    will not let you off the hook."


    Jenson snorted, "That''s funny. Who do you think gave us the evidence? If it weren''t for Mr. Nichols, do you think we''d daree here and demand justice?"


    All color drained from Melody''s face. "You''re lying!"
