Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 888

Debra pondered for a moment. "No wonder. Even though the Nichols family is the top dog in Seamar City, Melody doesn't hold any real power in the Nichols Group. Why would those socialites be clamoring to host an evening gala for her? It must be because of her connection to the Eaton family."

If the banquet was held at the Eaton family's residence, it indicated that Bert Eaton and Melody were quite close when they were young.

Marion opened another package of sweets for Debra and said, "I'll accompany you tonight."

"No need," Debra replied. "It's a ladies' gala. Besides, Melody traveled all the way here. If I'm not mistaken, either Juan is here, or Melody came all the way here to deal with me."

Melody might appear kind, but she was quite petty. Their grudge ran too deep, and Melody wouldn't let her off easily.

"You're spot on," Marion said. "Juan has been missing from Seamar City lately. Melody probably thinks he is here for you."

Debra sensed his jealousy and pecked him on the cheek. "Here for me? I don't think so. That's just Melody's imagination. Who knows? Juan is probably scheming something with the Eaton family or Drake."

"Let's hope so," Marion said. "If he's still bothering you, I'll teach him a lesson."

He had held back before, but not this time.

As evening approached, he posed as a chauffeur and drove Debra to the Eaton Mansion.

The villa was grand and opulent, a rare estate in the heart of the bustling city center where land was worth its weight in gold.
