Juan followed Debra up the staircase and entered their bedroom.Lowering his voice, he asked, "Why did you agree to let Grandma move in?""She insisted. What could I say?" Debra replied.She didn't want trouble. Even if she refused, Melody would find another reason to move in and might start suspecting something about their relationship.To avoid extra hassle, Debra pretended to agree without caring.Juan was silent for a moment, digesting her words. "Grandma is just worried that you might not come home and could have other thoughts."Debra scoffed, "I know exactly what she is thinking. She's doing this for your best interest. With the current state of affairs, our families must remain united."Their marriage ensured many joint ventures between the two families. They were partners who gained and lost together. If there were problems between our families now, both would suffer.Melody understood this perfectly, which was why she believed Debra wouldn't stir up trouble at this cr

Debra's resolve remained unshakable. Even as the three-month deadline loomed, she knew she would never accept Juan. This bet was destined to end in his defeat."I made mistakes and caused misunderstandings. But give me a chance, Debra. Let me try to be a good husband. I truly love you," he said.In that fleeting moment, Debra saw a glimpse of the boy she once knew reflected in Juan's eyes.Perhaps Juan had long forgotten the boy he used to be, but Debra hadn't. She couldn't forget the boy who had squatted down beside her, taken her hand, and walked with her down that road."Alright, I'll give you this chance," she said. "But no matter what you do, you'll end up losing."Juan, however, seemed not to hear the warning in her words. A smile spread across his face, as if her agreement alone was a victory.Debra pushed his hands away. "I'm tired. You can go now.""Grandma's here," Juan reasoned. "Where do you want me to go?"During her absence, Juan had already moved into their share

Juan brushed past the maid standing in front of him, draping a bathrobe over Debra's shoulders.Debra glanced at the maid, who quickly lowered her head, as if she had witnessed something she wasn't supposed to.Her innocent appearance was strikingly similar to Shelia's. Melody, ever the observant matriarch, was well aware of Juan's past affection for Shelia. It was no coincidence that she had hired someone who bore such a close resemblance to Shelia."What's your name?" asked Debra."Madam, my name is Hester Vargas," the maid replied timidly, but her demeanor was proper.Debra nodded. "It's not breakfast time yet. From now on, only Sophie should prepare my breakfast. Do you understand?"Hester hesitated before responding, "Madam, Mrs. Nichols Sr. has given Sophie an extended leave. Could you please tell me what time you usually have breakfast? I can prepare it in advance."Debra paused, her mind racing. Melody favored Sophie, and this decision showed how determined Melody was.

Hester's eyes widened as the realization dawned on her. Juan had figured out her identity, yet he had feigned ignorance.A pang of desolation washed over her, and she cast her gaze downwards.Melody shot Juan a reproachful look. "What do you mean by that? I like Hester very much and would never let her be treated as such. Hester is dutiful and a delight to be around. I enjoy her company, so I want her to stay by my side for a few days. I won't allow you to treat her like a servant."Just then, Debra descended the stairs. Melody turned to her, resolve etched on her face. "Not only will I not allow you to treat her as a maid, but Debra can't treat her as such either. Hester is here to take care of me and will only listen to my instructions."Hester, already seated beside Melody, spoke softly. "Mrs. Nichols Sr., the Nichols family has done so much for the Vargas family. I came to take care of you voluntarily, and I'm happy to look after both you and Juan."Melody patted her hand affe

The smile on Melody's face faded as she looked at Juan and Debra. "If you two want to go out on a date, go ahead, but you must be back by tonight. It's not right to spend the whole day out.""Understood," Juan replied, his appetite suddenly vanishing. He stood up from the table and turned to Debra. "Go change your clothes. I'll wait outside.""Okay," Debra agreed, casting a glance at Hester as she rose from her seat.Hester's gaze followed Juan, her eyes filled with an affection that spoke volumes.Debra quickly changed her clothes upstairs. When she came back down, Hester looked even more despondent than before.Outside, Juan was already in the driver's seat of his car, having prepared a seat cushion for Debra."Get in."Debra slid into the passenger seat. Juan didn't start the engine right away. Instead, he remained silent for a moment."Grandma is just worried you might not care about me.""I know."Not naïve, she understood the dynamics at play. The Vargas family was just

Debra froze, confused by his actions.As Juan leaned in, she quickly turned her head away.Juan stiffened before finally pulling back and releasing her."Come to the company with me. I'll handle things real quick."Debra opened her mouth to refuse, but Juan pressed on. "Since you promised me you'd give me three months, let me stay with you a bit longer, okay?"She hesitated, taken aback by the humility in his voice. This was a side of Juan she had rarely seen. He was always so aloof, so distant.After a moment of silence, she pursed her lips and nodded. "Okay."A smile spread across Juan's face, and he turned the car around. Chaos reigned at the company. As he strode into the lobby, Joe rushed towards him, relief etched onto his face."Sir, you're finally here."Juan had been disoriented these past few days. Even during meetings, he couldn't focus. The company needed his decisive leadership urgently."Sir, all the board members are waiting for you in the conference room."Jo
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 219
Some board members immediately voiced their complaints."Mr. Nichols, we have important matters to discuss. Let's not bring in unrelated people.""Ms. Frazier is associated with McKinney Group. Who knows if she might leak information to them?"Debra maintained a stoic expression, her eyes scanning the room filled with the so-called old guard of Nichols Group.She hadn't expected to find herself in the middle of their arguments. If it weren't for Juan holding the reins, these stubborn old directors would probably have run the company into the ground by now."Debra is my wife, and her presence here is perfectly reasonable," Juan reasoned."Mr. Nichols, she isn't one of us and won't prioritize the company's interests. I suggest you have her leave. Otherwise, we won't be comfortable discussing sensitive matters.""I've transferred 20% of the company's shares to her. Now, she's part of Nichols Group, holding more shares than any of you. Does that still matter?"Joe was shocked. "Mr.
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 220
"Okay." Debra nodded in agreement, following Joe to the adjacent lounge. "Madam, is there anything special you'd like to eat?""Just pour me a cup of tea, please.""Of course."Joe moved to the tea set. Debra sat down on the sofa and asked, "How has Juan been at the company lately?""Mr. Nichols? Lately, he's been distracted and drinking more than usual. Today is the most normal he's been in a while. It's all thanks to you, Madam.""He's been drinking?""Don't you know? The last time Mr. Nichols went to McKinney Group, he was drunk. He's been drinking too much these days. I'm really worried about him.""Why did he suddenly go to McKinney Group? Do you know?""Um... not really."Debra could tell he was hiding something. She lowered her gaze thoughtfully.Joe must know something, but knowing and telling were different. After all, her status was dubious. Even the board members thought so, let alone others."I see. Well, you can go now. I'll handle him. I'd like to rest a bi

Ivan had no idea what was going on. Presumably, Debra should be on the third floor, but now the attic had suddenly caught fire.On the second floor, Erica and Randy stepped out to see Barton help Andrew back to his room."Mr. Andrew Potter?"Garland and Liza were shocked too. They'd never seen him in such distress."Minor fire. Mr. Andrew Potter needs rest," Barton said flatly. "Please keep quiet about this, especially from Mrs. Houston."Liza frowned. "Why?""No questions. Trust that it's for her sake," Barton replied.After they left, Liza muttered, "Weirdoes!"...Debra jolted awake the next morning, shooting upright before dizziness slammed her back down. Drake watched silently from a chair."Quick. I need to go upstairs." She tried to kick off the blankets, but Drake stopped her."Let me go." Her usual calm shattered into a raw panic. "I'm going to the third floor."Drake hesitated. For once, he felt guilty. But he couldn't cave.Clenching his fists, he lied, "You've

Drake carried Debra downstairs on his back.A warm teardrop hit his shoulder. He frowned, glancing sideways at her unconscious face. Even when she passed out, her brows stayed furrowed. Tears kept soaking into his shirt."What a fool," he muttered.Andrew slumped against the wall. The tiny attic room glowed with remnants of Debra's childhood. This had been her sanctuary years ago.Back then, when her parents were busy with business, they'd leave her at the Potter Mansion for weeks. Young Debra's first word wasn't Mama or Papa. It was Brother.She'd trailed him everywhere like a shadow.The mansion's vast emptiness scared her at night. She'd cry until he moved her bed near the attic's stained-glass window. His mother had joked that he would have a good husband someday, just like his dad.Debra's laughter had thawed the mansion's cold halls. She'd painted his gray world in color.Andrew looked at those familiar items and struggled to his feet. His chest burned like coals as he fl

The room was a cozy paradise. A small plush bed sat in the center, topped with a giant teddy bear. Two fairy tale books lay on a nearby desk.The floor had a fluffy pink rug, a tiny wooden rocking horse, and half-built toy blocks scattered around. Miniature castles, dolls, and delicate tea sets filled the space.Every detail hit Debra's nerves like a hammer. Something buzzed in her memory, just out of reach. Her head throbbed as the room spun around her. She forced herself forward, step by shaky step.Then she spotted a pile of yellowed newspapers crammed in a corner. She tried to go over, but each movement flooded her mind with fragmented images."Almost there," she muttered.A memory fragment flickered. Someone was reading fairy tales by her bed.She heard her younger self ask, "Brother, why do princes and princesses fall in love at first sight?" "Because they're meant to be," he replied softly."But can't the princess love someone else?" "She might have many knights, bu

Marion drove through the night, streetlights flickering across his face.A weathered old newspaper lay crumpled in the passenger seat, its yellow pages detailing every grim detail of that decade-old kidnapping case, but not a trace of warmth touched his expression.When he reached the coast, he killed the engine. Clutching the newspaper, he strode to the water's edge. A lighter flashed in his hand. Flames crawled across the brittle paper, casting dancing shadows on his tense jawline. He watched until the last ember died, then scattered the ashes across the sand....Debra had drifted into an uneasy sleep.Her dreams swirled with half-remembered fragments—a ship's deck, choking smoke, a cramped dark space.Saltwater stung her nostrils as waves pressed down on her face. She thrashed against the suffocation until she was exhausted and helplessly sank into the water. Suddenly, a child's scream pierced the darkness. "Brother, save me."Debra jolted awake. The fading image of a face

"I didn't mean it.""Just heed my advice. Marion's sweet-talk game is stronger than you think. The news must have covered both kidnapping cases. Figure out why those three are hiding it from you."Drake went back to his room, leaving Debra outside.Her mind was a mess. She couldn't understand why even Marion chose not to tell her the truth.Footsteps creaked upstairs. Debra looked up to see Ivan descending.Her eyes narrowed. "I told you not to clean the second floor and above. What were you doing up there?"Ivan stammered, "I'm sorry. Someone mentioned the attic hadn't been cleaned in years. I wanted to help." "Attic?""The one on the third floor. It's locked, so I came down."Debra's pulse quickened as she realized the mastermind was feeding her clues through Ivan.She played dumb. "Alright. Remember, don't come up here again without my permission.""Yes, Mrs. Houston." Ivan retreated.Debra stared at the staircase for a while and turned to look at Andrew's room. It was

"I..." Erica was lost for words.Debra came upstairs, suspicion flickering. "Are you hiding something from me?"Erica shrank back, and Randy jumped in. "How is that possible? I was just helping her pick an outfit. Right, Erica?"Erica forced a nod. "Y-Yeah." Marion also came up. Randy seized the lifeline. "Marion, take Debra back. I need to help Erica change."He dragged Erica away like the floor was lava.Debra's suspicion grew. Marion gently brushed her hair. "I'll find the newspapers. It's been a long day. You need to rest.""What if they're gone?" she muttered.It was a major event. She had no memory of it, and her parents had never mentioned it. It didn't make sense."Do you think Vickie's kidnapping is connected to what happened to the Potters?" she said, recalling what Erica had once told her.It was Jordan who had been kidnapped. The incident killed their parents and crippled Andrew.The thought of it always made her chest tighten. When Vickie had mentioned it, her

Erica rolled her eyes. "We've been over this. Everyone knows Vickie's a fraud, but Juan's backing her is real. In this circle, folks cozy up to powerful families to climb the social ladder. They just play dumb and prop up Vickie to get close to Juan."Liza blinked, clueless. "Why don't they just work with Debra instead?"Debra laughed bitterly, "The business owners surviving in Seamar City aren't fools. The McKinney Group and the Nichols Group are at war. From this drama, they can tell Juan is targeting me. He is untouchable here. When he wants someone to be gone, they're gone. And with Caleb's sudden death, Andrew's illness, Jordan's betrayal, and Drake's downfall, we're clearly in a tight spot. Who would bet on the underdog?"Liza gasped, "So, this is their power play to win allies?"Debra nodded.Garland gaped at Liza. "You figured that out?""Didn't you?" she asked back.Garland bristled. "Of course. I'm the family pillar. I saw through everything."Liza side-eyed him.Deb

Marion fell silent. "I wasn't in Seamar City back then. No idea what happened."Debra frowned, troubled. Marion's eyes dimmed."Let's go home.""Okay."Half an hour later, we were back at the Potter Mansion."What? You're not the Frazier family heiress?" Garland's jaw dropped.Liza smacked his arm. "Seriously? Someone named Vickie popped up claiming to be the real heiress. No one said Debra isn't.""Oh," Garland exhaled in relief. "So, that chick is a fake?""Fake," Debra said firmly.Liza tilted her head. "Why are you so sure? What if she's legit?""Girl, you're smarter than this." Erica rolled her eyes. "It's an obvious scam. No one's buying it.""Then why bother?" Liza pouted. "If everyone knows she's fake, why embarrass herself?"Debra explained, "Truth doesn't matter. She wants the title, not assets.""Why is that?" Liza remained puzzled.That title alone didn't seem so alluring."She wants the identity because of the hidden treasure," Debra replied. "One of the fou

Marion leaned against the doorframe and smiled, "No need."He'd always known. Debra had grown into a hawk soaring freely through the skies. Even without his protection, she'd fly higher and farther.His smile deepened as he listened to her passionate plans for the company's future. That alone was worth his trip....At the Potter Mansion, Andrew unlatched the golden cage, releasing the canary inside.It fluttered clumsily toward the window. Trapped too long, it had forgotten how to fly. Yet it flapped its wings and pushed onward until it took flight and disappeared into the distance."Sir, that was your favorite bird," a servant said hesitantly."Loving something doesn't mean clutching it in your hand," Andrew replied with a smile. "To love is to let go, find its true self, and pursue what it wants."His voice lowered. "To love is to step back and watch her enjoy her life."A storm brewed outside, but he knew no matter how fierce the rain was, she'd endure....After seeing
