Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 529

Chapter 529 

“What nonsense are you talking about?” 

Melody shot Debra a sharp glare, displeased with what she had just said. 

Unfazed, Debra continued, “How about one billion dollars? I’ve heard that Melody has quite a personal fortune. That should be enough to compensate for your emotional damages.” 

Hester wavered further. Her family business was only a mid–sized enterprise, and one billion dollars was a massive amount of money. 

If she could bring that sum back to her family, maybe they’d overlook the fact that she had lost her chastity. Perhaps they wouldn’t see her as a useless daughter. 

“I disagree!” Melody snapped. 

She didn’t have nearly that much set aside for herself, and the mere thought of handing it over to someone who used to bring her foot–washing water made her blood boil. 

Hester barked, “Shut up!” 

Melody, held at knifepoint, didn’t dare to move. 

Hester glared at her before adding, “I don’t just want one billion dollars. I want a villa in the city center, too. And I demand that the Nichols family partner with my family. For every project, you’ll cut us in with a three percent profit share.”

Melody’s face turned pale from the knife pressing against her neck. Desperate, she shot a pleading look.

“Juan…” Melody clenched her teeth, but seeing no way out, she finally gave in. “Fine. I agree. Now, put the knife down.” 

It wasn’t as if there was anything in writing, anyway. With no paper trail, no one could hold her accountable later. All she needed to do was calm this madwoman down for now. 

Just as Hester was about to lower the knife, Debra suddenly spoke. “Wait.” 

Melody’s face darkened. “Debra, who do you mean? Are you trying to get me killed?” 

Debra chuckled, “Do you think Miss Vargas is that naive? You made a verbal agreement, but without anything on paper, do you believe she’d let you go that easily?” 

Her words struck a chord with Hester, who quickly realized her mistake. She hesitated for a second before pressing the blade against Melody’s throat again,
