Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 716

Liza stood frozen, her mouth agape. The message was clear: with the Osborne family, the Mathis family, and the Potter family backing Debra, she was untouchable.

Those who had originally planned to attend the Nichols' engagement party quickly reconsidered. With Seamar City's most influential figures all heading to the Houstons' event, where else would anyone of importance be?

Meanwhile, inside the grand Maple Hotel, Melody frowned as she noticed the dwindling number of guests. "Where is everyone going?"

A servant approached her cautiously. "Mrs. Nichols Sr., many of the guests have excused themselves and gone out. Something big might be happening next door."

Melody took a deep breath. "I'll go take a look."

Despite the Nichols family's high status in Seamar City, it seemed like the only people left at their engagement party were their business partners.

Storming outside, she was met with the sight of a steady stream of guests heading toward the Houstons' party.

Her anger flared. She snapped at a nearby security guard, "What is going on here? Did you mistreat the guests?"

The guard explained, "It's not our fault, ma'am. Mr. Andrew Potter, Miss Mathis, and Mr. Osborne all went to the Houston family's event, so..."

If all these prominent figures in Seamar City gathered at the Houston family's party, few would be willing to attend the Nichols' party.

Sophie tried to soothe her. "Mrs. Nichols Sr., don't worry. Many of your friends and the ladies from Plaso are here."
