Chapter 464

Penulis: Cozy Season
"Yes."

Joe swiftly turned the car around.

Meanwhile, the guests gathered around were abuzz with tonight's commotion. Melody took the opportunity to ignite public rage.

"Everyone knows in Seamar City how Debra used to fawn over Juan. Now they're going through a divorce, and she doesn't want to lose her title. So, she pushed Shelia down the stairs. It's simply despicable."

The crowd murmured in agreement.

"I heard before that Debra was pursuing Mr. Nichols. She could have pushed Shelia out of jealousy."

"I think I also saw Debra push Shelia down. That was brutal!"

"Who would risk her child's life? I bet it was Debra who did it."

"Debra is broke, and now she has killed Mr. Nichols' child. Both families won't let her get away with this. She is done for."

...

The murmurs continued, the atmosphere thick with tension and speculation.

Suddenly, Edgar's phone rang. After a brief call, he hung up and spoke in a heavy tone. "The child is gone."

Melody took a couple of steps back, her

  • Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right   Chapter 465

    The room fell into a hushed silence as the recording finished playing.Edgar's expression darkened. He was caught off guard by Debra's unexpected move.Debra met his gaze directly, her eyebrow raised in defiance. If he thought he could set her up, he was sorely mistaken.Declan and Melody exchanged confused glances, uncertain of what was going on.Edgar took a deep breath, attempting to regain control. "Ms. Frazier, a recording alone doesn't prove anything. Besides, everyone saw you push Jade down the stairs. That's an undeniable fact."Debra shrugged. "Mr. Odom, you misunderstand my intention. I don't plan to use this recording to prove I didn't push anyone. I merely want to show that Miss Blair tricked me into going upstairs by pretending to be Juan and said some rather bizarre things."Declan interjected, "Even if Jade said something strange, it doesn't prove you didn't push her."Melody chimed in, "Regardless, Debra killed my great-grandson. That's a fact."Pedro, feeling t

    Declan paled in disbelief. "No, it can't be. This must be fabricated."Debra merely watched him coldly.Melody was equally shocked, her hand clutching her chest as she struggled to process the revelation. She had never imagined that Shelia was responsible for the child's death.Debra turned to Pedro. "Mr. Hardy, what's the charge for deliberately murdering one's own child?"Pedro was lost for words. They had never encountered such a situation before, and the implications were staggering.Declan, his face contorted with rage, shouted at Debra. "My daughter is still in the hospital. What do you want?"Debra sneered, "I don't want anything. Shelia used her child to frame me, and I need to seek justice for myself.""Jade has already lost her child. What more do you want? How can you be so vicious?""Vicious? Shelia killed her child. I can't compare with her.""You..."Declan's face turned a deep shade of red, and he looked ready to explode. But it was Melody who stepped forward,

    Juan cast a glance at Joe, who immediately stepped forward to address the stunned Jack and Leah."I apologize for the disturbance. I'll arrange for someone to take you home shortly."Turning to the gathered crowd, he announced, "The dinner party is over. I'm sorry for the trouble. We'll be sending everyone a gift later. I hope you don't mind."With Joe handling the situation, Juan felt a sense of relief. He turned his attention to Pedro, gesturing for him to follow."Come with me.""Okay."Juan then addressed Edgar and Declan, his voice cold and dismissive. "See yourselves out."Declan flushed with embarrassment, his earlier bravado deflating under Juan's stern gaze. Though he had dared to make a scene in front of Melody, he wouldn't dream of doing so in front of Juan.Edgar, sensing the tension, quickly led Declan away."Mr. Odom."Debra's sudden call made Edgar pause. She looked at him meaningfully. "Take care."Edgar shot Debra a cold look. Declan sensed something odd bet

    Debra handed her phone to Juan. "The video evidence is all here."Juan took the phone, frowning. "I came back for you, Debra. I'll only be at ease if you're safe.""Thanks. If you want me to be safe, you should divorce me soon."At the heart of it all, the reason for Melody's actions was Juan's refusal to divorce her."After the divorce, do you want to be with Marion?""Yes."Her straightforward answer was like a knife twisting in Juan's heart.Debra, seeing the turmoil in his eyes, spoke calmly. "I thought I made myself clear last time. You should understand how I feel. Our marriage was a mistake from the start."Juan reached out, his hand gently grasping hers. "Shelia's child is gone. Can't we..."Debra jerked her hand away, her eyes flashing with disdain. "Do you think that with her child gone, nothing is standing between us anymore? Juan, wake up! The obstacle between us has never been Shelia."Juan grabbed her shoulders, his eyes filled with desperation and confusion. "T

    "A marriage certificate can't trap me, Juan. Do you even look like the head of the Nichols family right now?"Debra delivered this scathing remark and walked out.Juan stood there, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He knew he didn't embody the image of the Nichols family head at that moment.The family always expected their leaders to prioritize the family's interests above all else. With the Frazier family bankrupt and Debra having lost her chance to be Mrs. Nichols, it was time to find a more suitable candidate.Yet, despite Debra publicly asking for a divorce months ago, Juan still hadn't agreed. The elders of the Nichols family were growing increasingly unhappy with him, but they couldn't force him to change his mind.Juan watched Debra's retreating figure, his expression darkening. Joe approached cautiously and said, "Sir, Mr. Hardy is still waiting upstairs.""Tell me what happened tonight in detail," Juan said, regaining his composure.He was unaware that Melody had de

    "Go handle it. I want to see the results tomorrow.""Yes, sir."Juan headed upstairs. Pedro, who had been anxiously waiting in the study room, hurried up. "I'm sorry about what happened to Miss Blair's baby."Juan cut him off. "I don't want today's events to get out. You should understand that."Pedro nodded repeatedly. "Family troubles shouldn't be aired out. I get it."Juan added, "I want you to arrest Shelia tomorrow."About to agree, Pedro paused and then looked up in confusion. "What?"He thought he had misheard. "Mr. Nichols, technically speaking, causing a miscarriage intentionally isn't a criminal act. If we're to arrest someone, there's no solid reason. Plus, you mentioned not wanting today's events to be known. If we arrest her, it will cause a stir.'Juan's gaze was unyielding. "She caused a scene at my place today, framing Debra. You just need to make a big show of arresting her. Don't worry about the rest. You can even release her on the same day."Pedro hesitat

    It was late at night when Edgar returned to the hospital room after sending Declan away.Shelia was lying on the bed, with her eyes closed. Her face was an unsettling shade of pale."Stop pretending to be asleep," Edgar said, grabbing her arm.Shelia gasped in pain, her eyes flying open. "I-I did what you said. Please, spare me."Edgar's eyes were cold and unforgiving. "You fool. You ruined my plan. How dare you ask me to spare you?"He released Shelia's arm, and she recoiled, her face contorting with pain and fear. "What are you talking about? My child is gone. Debra pushed me down the stairs. Everyone saw it."Edgar scoffed, "You're so clueless. Do you think Debra is as stupid as you? She had already planned for this. Now everyone knows you tried to frame her and ended up killing your own child. Declan is utterly disappointed in you, and Melody would love to see you dead. Debra will come after you too. You've offended so many people. Even if I spare you, they will not."Shelia

    "I didn't come here to hear your explanation.""Juan.""If Debra hadn't asked me to check on you, I would never have come."Shelia froze, but she didn't think Debra would be that kind. She believed Debra had sent Juan there to laugh at her.Shelia bit her lip. "I was forced into this. Who would kill their child? It was Edgar who pressured me. He asked me to frame Debra, and I didn't dare disobey him."Juan watched coldly. He had once been fooled by her acts of kindness and weakness, but now he saw her for what she truly was. He had no more pity left for her."I don't care what your relationship with Edgar is or what he's plotting. I will not allow anyone to target Debra. Otherwise, I will make sure you pay."His expression made it clear he was serious, and her face turned pale."Juan, we're a couple."She tried to play the emotional card, but Juan's dangerous glance silenced her. She quickly changed her approach."I was wrong. Could you please forgive me and help me? I failed

    Jeffrey nodded. "Let them search harder. Whoever finds it will be rewarded handsomely."Joe chimed in, "Sir, you've been planning for this day for so long. A few more hours of waiting won't matter. I'll go supervise their work.""Go ahead," Jeffrey agreed.Juan wasn't surprised by their conversation. He had long suspected that Joe was Jeffrey's man.He could even guess that his memories from his past life were a result of Jeffrey's manipulation through Joe. It was probably some kind of hypnosis.Juan glanced at Jordan. Their eyes met briefly, and they understood each other's intention.Andrew spoke up, "I remember a place.""What place?" Jeffrey jerked up his head."I'm not sure if it's the right place.""Tell me. I'll decide.""There's a second basement level. When I was a kid, I wanted to go down there, but my parents and brother never let me. It's like a forbidden area. Maybe the treasure is hidden there?"Jeffrey thought for a moment. "Let's go check it out."Joe quickl

    Joe was about to open the iron door when Jordan spoke up. "Hold on."Joe froze, his hand still on the door.Jordan stepped forward and explained, "The residents of the place may be gone, but their security is still top-notch. If this door gets forced open, it'll trigger the alarm system and the traps inside. Things will get very tricky."He faced the scanner and input the password. Although he had deflected, his data was still in the system. This door could not stop him.Jeffrey, who had been worried about traps, finally relaxed. After all, with security like this, anyone who tried to force their way in would not end well.Once the door was open, Jordan said, "You guys should follow me. Just don't touch anything."Jeffrey raised his hand, signaling his men to follow Jordan's lead.When they finally reached the hall, everyone was amazed by what they saw. The Potter Mansion had always been mysterious because the hosts never entertained outsiders.And now? A glimpse of the family'

    Firstly, Juan didn't think Claudia would want to reunite with Jeffrey.Secondly, he had long given up on the idea of a complete family.He was used to being alone, and even if the world started over, nothing would change. Jeffrey's regret could not save their family."Let's save these words for after we succeed," Juan said, leaving the study.In the hall, his men were already gathered. Jordan looked up at him."Everyone's ready. When do we leave?""Anytime, but you can't come.""What do you mean?""Only my father and I can go in. I need you to guard the outside."Jordan was unhappy. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have located the treasure. Now, do you want to burn the bridge and keep it all to yourself?""Not at all," Jeffrey interjected, walking up to Jordan and patting his shoulder. "We need you to guard the outside. It's a crucial task. I promise you'll get your share of the treasure."He paused and added, "I know you don't want to live in Andrew's shadow forever. On

    Debra wheeled Andrew into the elevator, and he pressed the B2 button.Once the elevator stopped at the second underground floor, Debra wheeled him out.She had never been to this floor before. She had expected a parking lot or a wine cellar. Surprisingly, it was an archive room filled with old filing cabinets.Each one had its numbering system, and the dust on them indicated that no one had been there for a while."Is this your intelligence station?""Yep. This used to be the intelligence database from decades ago. But it's useless now."In the digital age, old-school places were outdated. One computer could handle all the data, and no one would bother with the time-consuming task of organizing physical files anymore.Debra wheeled him forward. "Are we waiting for someone here?""Correct," Andrew replied. "Someone will be coming soon. We just need to hide and wait."He then pointed to the back of the room, where stood a row of file cabinets. "Let's go there."Once there, Andr

    "I'll get it done by tomorrow noon," Marion replied."No." Andrew shook his head. "Everyone needs to be gone right after the funeral."Marion nodded. "Have Barton give me a roster. I'll make sure no one stays behind."Andrew added, "Also, I need your help gathering forces and weapons.""Don't you have weapons?""We do, but we need more. And Debra will stay with me tomorrow. Do you have a problem with that?""Can I?""No, you can't."Debra tugged at Marion's sleeve. "You'll be busy tomorrow, and I'll be safer with Andrew."Marion understood her point. "I'll leave someone to protect you.""No, you can't," Andrew insisted. "No one else stays."Marion frowned. "What are you planning?""Barton will assist you tomorrow. Come back at six in the afternoon," Andrew said. "Everything is arranged. You can go rest now."Debra chimed in, "I still don't understand."Marion cut her off. "Got it. I'll handle everything."He took Debra's hand and led her to leave.Debra asked, "Why didn

    At the Potter Mansion, Marion was bandaging Debra's wound.She saw his careful look and teased him, "Relax. You're hurting me more like this."He stiffened, and she smiled, "I'll do it myself."She reached for the bandage, but he gently stopped her hand. "You don't have much time to heal."She nodded. "I know."Marion looked up. "I believe they'll make a move soon.""I have the same feeling.""So, we need to come up with a plan.""Indeed."Debra's voice dropped even lower. The past few days, she had been feeling like their time together was running out. Jeffrey's appearance was a threat to their lives.Among them, only she knew about rebirth. If Jeffrey managed to reset everything, she didn't know if they could still remember everything that had happened. She and her friends might forget each other.She didn't want to lose Marion or any of her friends.Marion took her hand. "Rest for a few more days and leave everything to me.""Okay." Debra nodded.Barton knocked on the

    "No." Liza shook her head. "I'm just curious."Fermin put a finger on his lips and whispered, "Kids shouldn't be so curious."Liza stopped talking and left with him. She noticed the guards' fearful looks and asked, "Why are they all so scared of you?""The weak fear the strong. That's the rule of society." Fermin paused, looking at her. "But you don't need to worry. With me around, no one can bully you."Liza leaned forward. "Can you make peace with Debra and her people?""Oh?""You shot her.""Look, I didn't kill her for your sake.""But she was kind to me.""So, I only shot her in the shoulder.""That makes me upset.""Well, next time, I'll let her shoot back."Fermin opened the car door, placed her favorite pink pillow on the seat, and adjusted it to her liking before letting her get in. Then he helped her buckle up.Liza pouted. "You're making me lose all my friends."Fermin, driving with one hand, asked casually, "Who is more important, your friends or me?""You're

    Feeling someone behind him, Fermin swiftly turned and struck out.Juan dodged but saw a dagger hidden in Fermin's sleeve."Mr. Eaton, aren't you being a bit too cautious?" he said.Fermin smiled, but his voice was cold. "I don't like people sneaking up on me. Next time, this knife might slit your throat."Juan threw his hands up. "I mean no harm."Liza tugged at Fermin's sleeve. He looked down at her and slowly lowered the dagger. "I'm taking her with me. If Jeffrey has any problems, he can talk to me."He went inside and grabbed Liza's suitcase."I don't..." she protested."Don't want to go?" Fermin pinched her cheek. "Say that again."Liza held back her words. "I'll go with you."Satisfied, Fermin let go of her cheek.Juan suddenly spoke up. "Mr. Eaton, do you have time for a private talk?""There's nothing to talk about between us," Fermin said flatly.Liza glanced at Juan and blurted, "Just talk to him."Fermin raised an eyebrow. "Why do you speak up for him?""I nee

    "I can cover your airfare," Juan replied."I'm not leaving," Liza sulked. "I'll stay here. Tell Fermin to come see me, or I'll..."Jeffrey's voice came from upstairs. "Or what?"Liza shivered and looked over. The man was looking down at her from a commanding height.She had seen Jeffrey in that cave, but she hadn't felt anything unusual at the time. Now, his presence was so overwhelming that she found it hard to breathe.Jeffrey then turned to Juan. "Miss Eaton is a guest. Give Fermin a call and tell him to come over."Juan nodded and ordered the maid, "Prepare a room for Miss Eaton."The maid quickly went to prepare the room. Liza restrained her arrogance and followed behind the maid.Late at night, Liza was tossing and turning. There wasn't even a bottle of water in the room.Suddenly, footsteps in the hallway broke the quietness of the night.A wave of fear swept over her. She was afraid that some freak from the Nichols family would come to harm her. She quickly ducked bac
