Melody shot up, her expression turning solemn. "Do you realize what you''re saying?"


    "Well, I''m thinking of the best interests of you and the Nichols family. If Debra is alive, Juan will never let her go. Who knows what he''ll do for her in the future?"


    Seeing Melody waver, Shelia sighed dramatically. "Juan is the president of the Nichols Group, yet he embarrassed himself by appearing on some reality show. The entire elite circle isughing at him. He''s been bewitched by Debra. He''s not even thinking straight anymore. What''s next for him if this goes on?"


    Melody''s face fell, just as Shelia had expected.


    Melody was already furious with Juan for participating in that reality show, all for Debra. In their world, entertainers were nothing more than tools for amusement. Juan''s reckless behavior had made her theughingstock among her peers. Now that Shelia had brought this all back into focus, Melody was more determined than ever to rid them of Debra.


    Noticing the gleam in Shelia''s eyes, Melody sneered, "You couldn''t get rid of Debra on your own, so you want me to do it for you. Don''t think I don''t know what you''re after. But for Juan''s sake, I''ll agree. Just remember your ce."


    If it weren''t for the fact that Shelia had brought the entirety of the ir family''s fortune to the table, Melody would never have entertained the idea of letting her back into the family.


    Shelia stood up and whispered, "I made mistakes in the past. But now that the misunderstandings between us have cleared up and my family has given you what you rightfully deserve, you can trust me. I truly love Juan and would never do anything to harm him or the Nichols family."


    Melody hummed in response, "If there''s nothing else, you should leave."


    "And what about Debra?"


    "I''ll handle it."


    Only then did Shelia allow herself to smile and take her leave. After Shelia left, Melody called out, "Sophie,e in here."


    Sophie, who had been keeping an eye on the whole exchange, stepp in immediately.


    "Mrs. Nichols Sr., should I turn off the lights for you?"


    "No, go and bring over Violet."


    "Mrs. Sosa? But you said just yesterday..."


    "I have my reasons. Just go and fetch her. The rest is none of your concern." "Will do."


    Though curious, Sophie did as she was told.


    It was the middle of the night, but Violet quickly dressed and

    the Nichols Mansion.


    When she arrived, Melody was calmly sitting in the living room, sipping tea.


    "Melody, you had me summoned so urgently. Is something wrong?"


    "I appreciate youing, especially at this hour."


    "It''s what I do as a junior."


    Violet sat down opposite Melody.
