Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 890

Debra's words were laced with insinuation, implying that Melody's trip there was driven by some late-life romantic whim.

Melody, who valued her reputation above all else, turned livid. "Of course, I'm going back. If it weren't for some business I had to attend to, I wouldn't have come at all."

"Mrs. Nichols Sr., take it easy. I didn't say anything out of line," Debra said, leaning in closer to Melody. "Don't forget, I have evidence of you hiring someone to kill me. If you don't want any trouble, you'd better not cross me. Otherwise, you'll spend the rest of your life behind bars."

Melody's anger boiled over at Debra's threat. She remembered all too well how Debra had used this very threat to force Juan to hand over the Nichols Group.

Although the company hadn't fallen into Debra's hands yet, there was no telling if Juan might do so in the future.

Melody looked at Debra's smiling face, her own smile strained. "Since you're new here too, feel free to look around. I'm a bit tired and will go upstairs to rest."

Melody turned to leave, defeated in her confrontation with Debra.

Debra didn't stop her as Melody went up the stairs like the hostess of the Eaton family.

In the guest room, Melody stared at her aged reflection in the mirror and thought of Debra's assertive appearance. Her heart grew even heavier.
