At the party, the host called out to Marion and Debra three times, yet neither of them appeared. An uneasy murmur spread through the crowd.
Frowning, Caleb shot a sharp glance at the butler beside him. "Where are they?"
The butler shifted uneasily. "I saw them just a moment ago..."
Caleb's gut churned. "Tell the host to keep the guests calm. The rest of you, follow me."
"Yes, sir."
Next door, Melody was quick to catch wind of it.
She stood on the second floor, overseeing a tense exchange between Shelia and Sophie, when the security guard entered with urgent news.
"Marion and Debra are missing."
"Yes."
She glanced at Sophie's scratched face and Shelia's disheveled hair. Her lips curved in a slow, smug smile.
'If we're having a hard time, the Houston family won't have it easy either.' She thought.
She broke the silence. "Sophie, do you know what kind of event this is? Get out and go downstairs."
"Yes, Mrs. Nichols Sr." Sophie reluctantly left.
Melody shifted her gaze to Shelia. "And you... Look at yourself. Is this how the future Mrs. Nichols should present herself to our guests? Go fix your hair and change."
