Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 543

Debra's remark left Melody trapped.

Of course, she had the money. But all her assets had been placed under the Nichols Group's accountants, and getting her hands on such a large sum at once was impossible.

Yet, as the matriarch of the Nichols family, she couldn't admit that she didn't have the cash on hand in front of others.

Forcing a composed smile, she said, "Of course, I understand that not everyone can appreciate the finer things. Since you don't want it, there's nothing more I can do."

She took the ring back, and Debra grabbed her arm. "That's right. Now, how about we go get the cash together?"

Melody was caught in a dilemma. In the end, she led Debra back to her room.

She opened the large chest she had hidden under the bed. The gleaming gold bars and bricks were stacked high, filling the chest with an undeniable, heavy wealth.

Debra glanced inside, her expression an exaggerated display of surprise. "Wow, I didn't expect you to be this wealthy."

Melody smirked, her fingers brushing one of the gold bricks. "Your family may be a century-old scholarly family, but I doubt you've ever seen this much wealth."

Debra chuckled, the mockery in her tone barely hidden. "True, this chest holds more than most people could dream of in a lifetime. But does it add up to one billion dollars?"

Her words froze Melody's smile. The glittering gold bars might have been impressive, but their total value wasn't so much.
