"Three months is it," Debra agreed, leading Jade and the others to leave.
In three months, she would take over Juan's company.
Juan silently watched her leave. Suddenly, the sharp crack of a slap echoed in the air.
Standing before him, Melody snapped, "How could someone so foolish be part of this family? You've brought disgrace upon us all. Go after her and dissolve your promise. Do you hear me?"
She pushed him, desperate to protect the family's legacy that had been built over decades. But no matter how hard she pushed, Juan didn't budge.
Finally, he grabbed her hand and said coldly, "Have you had enough?"
Melody froze, shocked by his tone.
He added, "I've spent my life following your rules. I owe this family nothing, but I owe Debra everything. Grandma, I'll pay you back for raising me and make sure you're comfortable for the rest of your life."
Without waiting for a response, he turned to Sophie, who had been lingering by the door. "Pack her things and take her back to the old house."
Sophie nodded and guided Melody back into the house.
"Juan..." Shelia's voice quivered from behind him.
She wanted to embrace him for comfort, but Juan suddenly grabbed her neck.
