As soon as Debra stepped into the Nichols family''s house, she heard the sharp sound of something shattering. A teacup smashed right by her feet, sending shards skidding across the floor.


    ncing up, Debra saw Melody seated on the couch, her face cold with discontent. Across from her stood Juan, straight-backed in a sleek ck suit. His expression was stoic as he endured the scolding.


    Melody sneered, her words dripping with sarcasm. "Juan, I know you''re busy with work, but you should also spare a thought for your home. Tell me, how many days has it been since you''ve seen your wife? She''s moved out, and you don''t even seem to care. If you''re not careful, one day you''ll wake up to find she''s run off with someone."


    Debra sneered at the cutting remarks. Calmly, she stepped further into the room, offering Melody a polite smile. "Grandma, what''s gotten you so upset? What happened?"


    Melody shot her a sideways nce. "I wouldn''t dare let you call me ''Grandma''. Let''s stick to ''Mrs. Nichols Sr., just like before."


    Debra ignored the taunt, her gaze shifting toward Juan. "Juan, what''s got Grandma so angry? Did you do something to upset her?"


    Juan nced up at her, a look that said, "It''s about you."


    Debra pretended not to understand. She turned back to Melody, her smile unwavering. "Grandma, there''s no need to be angry. Even though Juan and I live separately now, our rtionship is as strong as ever. Juan would never be unfaithful."


    She wrapped her arm around Juan''s, as if to show how affectionate they were, but that irritated Melody


    even more.


    She didn''t bother hiding her distaste any longer. Rising from her seat, she pointed an using finger at Debra. "How dare you stand there and y the loving wife in front of me? Juan treats you so well, and what do you do? You found yourself some pretty boy behind his back."


    Debra blinked innocently, "Grandma, you can''t just use me like that without any evidence, especially in


    front of Juan.''


    "You want evidence? Fine. I''ll show you the evidence," Melody snorted, pulling out a stack of photographs from her handbag.


    As the photos fluttered to the floor, Juan''s gaze flickered with the slightest trace of emotion.


    Melody jabbed a finger toward the pictures. "Look at them, Debra. Don''t you feel ashamed?"


    Debra looked down and smiled. "So, this is what you''re upset about? It''s all just a misunderstanding."


    "Misunderstanding?" Melody''s voice grew louder. "You have the nerve to say that. Now, tell me who this pretty boy is."


    Debra held the photos in her hands. "Did you send someone to follow me?"This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Melody stiffened for a moment. "If I hadn''t, how else would I have found out about your dirty secret?"


    "I understand you don''t like that Juan and I have reconciled. You''ve been looking for something to prove


    I''ve been unfaithful so that I get nothing in the divorce settlement, right?" Debra asked.


    Melody''s face flushed with embarrassment, but she didn''t back down. "If you did something wrong, losing out in the divorce is your own fault."
