On the TV screen, Juan gazed at Shelia with an affection so tender it could almost be mistaken for genuine.
He gently fixed her hair, the two of them laughing and chatting, every inch the picture-perfect couple.
The warmth in his eyes was convincing—not a hint of pretense to be found.
Erica leaned in and remarked, "Strange, isn't it? This isn't their first public appearance together. I've just come from the banquet where they were present."
"Yes, it is strange," Debra murmured, her eyes glued to the screen.
Juan's gaze was filled with nothing but warmth and devotion. Then, something else caught her eye—a ring gleaming on Shelia's finger. It was unmistakably the Nichols family's heirloom ring.
Debra grabbed the remote, rewound the footage for a few seconds, and paused it. The scene froze with Juan brushing Shelia's hair aside, her smile bright as she raised her hand to straighten his tie.
There it was, clear as day. Shelia was wearing the Nichols family's heirloom ring.
"What's wrong?" Erica asked, sensing Debra's sudden tension.
"The ring on Shelia's finger is the Nichols family's heirloom," Debra said.

Debra could never forget the smug on Shelia's face.
"Debra, don't blame me for being heartless. The only way I can become Mrs. Nichols is if you're out of the picture. Who would've thought Juan really gave you the heirloom ring? But it doesn't matter. From today on, it's mine," Shelia said.
