Chapter 93
“Madam! You’re finally back!”
Debra rarely saw Sophie so emotional. Clearly, she had suffered a lot in the past few days.
“Sophie, is Juan home?”
“Yes, Mr. Nichols is home.” Sophie hesitated and added, “But that vixen is here too.”
Mentioning Shelia made Sophie grit her teeth in hatred.
Debra was surprised that Shelia could still stay there after Melody stepped in.
Juan must really like Shelia, since he even went against his grandmother’s wishes for her.
Debra tried to use the fingerprint scanner at the front door, but it didn’t work.
“Mr. Nichols changed the lock codes last night,” Sophie explained.
She entered the new code, allowing Debra to enter the house.
Juan was with Shelia in the living room. Shelia was reading under Juan’s patient guidance. They were acting like a couple in love.
Sophie cleared her throat and announced in a stressed tone, “Sir, Mrs. Nichols is back.”
Juan glanced at Debra indifferently, as if she were a stranger.
“Who allowed you to enter my house?” Juan questioned, full of disdain.
“Juan, take it easy. Maybe Debra left something behind,” Shelia said, smiling sweetly at Debra. “You could have asked Sophie to mail it to you instead of coming in person.”
Debra ignored her and asked Juan, “You didn’t go to the office today?”
Juan snorted, “Who are you to ask?”
“I’m not trying to control you. Joe called me, saying he couldn’t reach you, so he asked me to pass on a message to you.”
“I’m busy now,” Juan said nonchalantly.
Debra looked at Shelia, who was asking Juan for help with her studies. “Busy with this?”
Shelia chimed in, “I asked Juan to help me because my grades dropped.”
“You don’t need to explain to her,” Juan said gently, patting Shelia’s head. “Focus on your work.”
Shelia blushed and continued with her studies.
