Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 490
The ladies from high society buzzed around Shelia like bees to honey, their glasses clinking in endless toasts.Ashley, eyes darting about like a hummingbird, spotted her chance and swooped in. She plucked a glass of wine from a nearby tray and offered it to Shelia with a gracious smile."Miss Blair, your reputation precedes you. I must say, the rumors don't do your beauty justice. Please, allow me to toast to you," she gushed, downing her wine in one smooth motion.Shelia raised an eyebrow at the unfamiliar face. "And you are...""Ashley Steele, formerly a trainee at Potter Entertainment," she introduced herself, batting her eyelashes with practiced sincerity. "I've always admired you, Miss Blair."Shelia was unmoved by the flattery. As the newly discovered daughter, she was more accustomed to envy than admiration.Still, she played along. "A trainee at Potter Entertainment? Then you must be acquainted with Debra."The name dropped like a stone in a pond, ripples of tension spr

Ashley's words were like a grenade tossed into the midst of the gathered elite, leaving them stunned and speechless.Shelia gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. "I never knew Debra was like that."Ashley whispered, "Miss Blair, there's so much you don't know. Some people might look like they're cut from fine cloth, but underneath, they're just cheap polyester."The other ladies immediately voiced their disdain toward Debra and their support for Shelia."Well, after tonight, Miss Blair will be Mrs. Nichols. No matter how many men Debra warms her bed with, Mr. Nichols won't even spare her a glance.""That's right, Miss Blair. You're a rare gem, beautiful and pure. Debra, well, she's just a woman of the world. Mr. Nichols is lucky to have you.""Isn't that so? Miss Blair graduated from Arcane Academy on her merit, while Debra had to sneak in through the back door. That alone speaks volumes about her character."Shelia basked in the glow of their praise. Her smile was as radiant as

Declan's voice boomed."Today, I demand an explanation. What have you done to Jade? She was committed to marrying you and even lost a child over you. Is this how you repay her?"His outburst was met with Juan's cold stare. It sent a shiver down his spine.The weight of Juan's presence pressed down on him."Juan, you promised me that we would get engaged. Why? Did Ms. Frazier say something to you?" Shelia sobbed.Her eyes already rimmed red, she turned to Debra. "Ms. Frazier, if I have ever wronged you, please forgive me. I beg you, don't take my Juan away. I can't live without him."Her voice trailed off as she swayed, collapsing into Declan's arms. He staggered, barely managing to keep them both upright.Summoning his courage, Declan addressed Juan, "Mr. Nichols, look at my daughter. Don't you owe us an explanation?"All eyes were on Juan. He took Debra's hand, his voice steady and clear. "I never intended to divorce Debra. As for the rumors of an engagement with Miss Blair, I

"I..." Ashley panicked."Really? Funny, I don't recall any of this," Debra said. "Miss Steele, is there any truth to these wild accusations?"All eyes swiveled to Ashley, who quickly adopted an expression of wounded innocence. "Miss Blair, how could you say such things? I never said such things.""You did! You all heard her!" Shelia screeched, her finger jabbing accusingly at the circle of socialites.However, none of them stood forward to say anything. Shelia was isolated and desperate, while Declan pressed his lips into a thin line.Debra's smile widened, a picture of sympathy. "It seems Miss Blair is not quite herself today. My plans to remarry Juan have been set in stone for some time. Perhaps the recent loss of her child has affected her mental state, causing her to speak so irrationally.""I'm not being irrational," Shelia protested, her voice rising to a shrill pitch.Debra clucked her tongue, a sound dripping with faux concern. "Joe, be a dear and drive Miss Blair to the

The room erupted into chaos as soon as the words left Jade's mouth.Shelia scoffed, "Ridiculous! Why on earth would I take your ring?"Jade's eyes blazed with a hatred so intense it was almost palpable. "You used my ring to bribe the warden and secure your early release from prison."Shelia's stint in prison had been a scandal that rocked high society. Now, with the sordid details being dredged up, the room buzzed with whispered speculation.Shelia remained unruffled. "Since you're so eager to cast aspersions, perhaps you'd like to explain how you ended up in prison in the first place."Jade faltered, her cheeks flushing a guilty shade of crimson."Cat got your tongue?" Shelia pressed, turning to the captivated audience. "She was arrested for prostitution."The crowd recoiled with revulsion.Shelia enjoyed their reaction, turning back to Jade with a look of triumph. "You were jailed for selling your body, and when the other inmates made your life a living hell, I protected you.

"Edgar, you've truly disappointed me today."Declan's voice was heavy with what seemed like regret, but Edgar knew better. This was no mere disappointment. It was a severing of ties."Declan, I have more pressing matters to attend to. I suggest you focus on the matter of Shelia and Juan," Edgar shot back before turning to leave.Chace scurried after him."Sir, are we just leaving like this?""Or what? This is just ridiculous.""But sir, even though Miss Blair fainted, we could still push for a DNA test. Once Declan finds out...""Don't you get it? Declan knows Shelia isn't his daughter and refuses to acknowledge the real Jade.""What?"Edgar grunted, "This old fox is much shrewder than I thought. In public, he would never acknowledge a daughter who went to prison for prostitution."Chace was astounded, not expecting Declan, who had been desperate to find Jade, would be unmoved by her suffering over the years.Edgar had regarded Declan as an easy mark, but a veteran CEO like

Debra sighed. "There is a catch. I have to play the part of Mrs. Nichols for the next six months. After that, we're done for good."Oscar raised an eyebrow. "He wants to buy time for the Nichols Group?""Most likely. They've taken a blow from us. Even though they're back in operation, their stocks are running low. This year's profits are looking grim. These six months are crucial for their recovery.""Clever move. Even in divorce, he's angling for a return on investment.""Putting business first. That's Juan."Debra shrugged, unsurprised. In her last life, he had married her primarily for the Frazier family's connections.Oscar chimed in, "Well, at least it's a divorce."Debra said, "So, I agreed."Besides, she would get a sum of money.Across the room, the sycophants who had once fawned over Shelia now swarmed Debra."Mrs. Nichols, I always thought you and Mr. Nichols were a power couple. I'm so glad to see you reconciled.""Indeed, Mrs. Nichols. With the Frazier family's r

The specter of her past loomed large, and the last thing Shelia wanted was for it to be paraded in public. Joe's hint was as subtle as a freight train, his implication crystal clear.The Nichols family couldn't afford to welcome a former mistress, fresh off the heels of a lost child, into their esteemed household. They needed to maintain appearances, present a united front, and resurrect their floundering reputation and finances.Declan, grasping the situation, said, "Jade, don't make a scene.""Dad...""I understand Mr. Nichols' concerns," Declan said, turning his attention back to Joe. "He's doing what's best for the Nichols family. Since you've divorced Debra, how long must my daughter wait?Juan remained silent, leaving Joe to fill the void. "Six months. The contract with Ms. Frazier ends in six months. Until then, Miss Blair will have to be patient."Shelia bristled, "Why should I wait? The position of Mrs. Nichols should be mine!""Silence!" Declan barked.Shelia shrank b

Marion looked at the bandages on the table. "Weren't you just crying from the pain a second ago?""It doesn't hurt when I remove it myself. But when you do it in front of me, I feel bad and want to cry," Debra replied.Marion didn't know what to say. He sprinkled some medicine on her wound, and she immediately felt a cool, soothing sensation."Did you used to eat candy when you were hurt?""No.""Huh?""I don't like sweet stuff. It's Drake. We used to go on missions together. He was hot-tempered and often got hurt. He didn't bother carrying any candy, so he'd always stuff it in my pocket. I didn't know if it worked or not, but it seemed to help him.""No wonder.""There you go. Just rest for now. Don't think about anything.""Alright." Debra lay down but poked her head out from under the blanket. "Aren't you curious about how I made it back?""I don't want to ask.""Why?"Everyone else had been eager to know.She noticed his frown and said, "Actually, it was..."Marion qu

At the Potter Mansion, Debra was lying by the edge of the bed.Marion woke up in the middle of the night, feeling someone holding his hand. Startled, he turned to see Debra lying beside him. For a moment, he thought he was dreaming."Debra?" he murmured.Debra slowly opened her eyes and flashed a sweet smile. "You're awake."Marion realized this wasn't a dream. Without a second thought, he pulled Debra into his arms. His sudden movement tugged at Debra's wound, causing her to gasp in pain.Marion quickly let go, his face filled with concern. "Did your wound tear? Let me see."He carefully unbuttoned Debra's top. Sure enough, there was some blood seeping from her shoulder.The wound on her shoulder had been caused by a bullet from Fermin. While it only pierced the skin, it couldn't handle any rough movements.Debra teased him, "I didn't expect the fearless Marion to be so anxious one day."Marion said seriously, "It's bad. I'll treat your wound."He got up from the bed and hur

"Alright." Debra got up from the bed.Juan added, "Give me your ring."Debra looked down at her ring and took it off.Juan said, "I'll give it back later."Debra left the room, knowing Juan didn't owe her anything anymore.Juan sat down and looked at the dim table lamp. His mind drifted to the previous night when he invited Vickie there.When she arrived, Vickie took in the surroundings and frowned. "What do you want to see me for?"Juan looked at her face, which resembled Debra's, and felt a wave of disgust. In his mind, one could replace Debra, and no one else could have that face."You've always wanted to take Debra's place, right? I'm giving you that chance," he said, tossing a set of clothes to her. "Put these on. You know how to look more like her.""What are you getting at?" Vickie asked suspiciously."Debra is dead," Juan replied. "From today on, you are her.""Really?" Vickie's face lit up with joy.She had suffered so much only for this moment."Yeah." Juan nodde

"Debra is back from the dead!" Randy screamed.Erica smacked him on the back of the head and snapped, "Look closely. She's not dead.""Not dead?" Randy pointed at Debra's face. "But her face..."Debra wiped her face with the sleeve. The grayish powder came off, revealing her bare skin."It's just makeup," she said."Almost gave me a heart attack. I thought you were..." Randy gaped.Drake's lips curled up, and he poked Debra's head. "Why didn't you wake up sooner? Wanted us to mourn you?"Debra explained, "There were spies outside. If they found out I wasn't dead, Juan would be in danger."Erica froze. "Juan? What's this got to do with him?""Let me explain later. I need to wash my face first." Debra stood up and looked around. "Where's Marion?""He passed out," Robert replied. "I used almost all my strength. It'll take him some time to wake up."Debra furrowed her brow. "Why did you hit him?""Ask him," Robert said. "He rushed to the Nichols Mansion, got into a gunfight, an

Randy exclaimed, "This is fake. Who did this? I'll tear them apart."Erica chimed in, "This news can't be true. It must be a smokescreen to confuse us."Theda looked at the ring in Robert's hand. "Could Marion's desperate actions today be because of this?"Everyone was taken aback....Jeffrey read the news. "Well done."Juan asked, "Aren't you sad about killing Vickie after training her for so long?""Dying as the daughter of the Frazier family is a blessing for her," Jeffrey replied indifferently. "Debra's body has been burned to ashes, and Vickie is no longer useful. Sacrificing her to create chaos and shake the Four Great Families was a brilliant idea."He paused and added, "Send the body to the Potter Mansion. I want them to understand that with Debra dead, their resistance is meaningless.""Got it," Juan replied, slowly retreating.In the basement, he dismissed everyone and looked at the lifeless woman in the coffin. "Once you're back, don't show up again," he whisper

William fidgeted at the sight of so many big shots in the room. Robert's presence alone sent a shiver down his spine.Earlier, when Marion was carried in on Robert's back, he didn't dare utter a sound.William cleared his throat and rolled his shoulders, trying to muster some courage.Standing on the side with Chace, Oscar spoke up. "Do we need medical equipment? I can have some brought over.""No need. This house has everything," William replied.He stepped forward and worked on loosening Marion's stiff arm. It took quite a while before he finally pried open the tightly clenched hand.Blood had pooled in Marion's palm. William let out a low whistle. "What an iron!"He pulled the bloodstained diamond ring from Marion's grasp and studied it. "That's a huge rock. Must've cost a fortune."Everyone's gaze fell on the ring."Wait... Isn't that Debra's ring?" Erica rushed inside. "Why is it covered in blood? Is she..."Drake snatched the ring from William's hand and inspected it. "
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 1400
"How could this be?" Theda smiled faintly. "We just want to take our people and avoid any casualties. That's all.""If that's all, I might consider it," Jeffrey replied, looking at Marion. "But someone might not want to leave."Drake stepped forward. "We can settle the score later. Even if we don't take your life now, we will eventually."Marion knew Drake was telling him to leave. His hand, clutching the ring, was already bleeding.Drake and Robert noticed and grabbed Marion's arms."Let's go," Robert said firmly.They had to leave now. Otherwise, mutual destruction was unavoidable.But Marion refused to move.Finally, Drake said, "If you don't leave, we'll all die here. I'm not ready to die yet. Don't drag me down with you."Oscar said, "Mr. Houston, let's go. We can save Mrs. Houston another time. If we keep this up, we'll just be making useless sacrifices."Marion still held his ground.Robert frowned and struck Marion on the back of his neck."You guys talk too much,"

"I'm gonna kill you!" Marion shouted.He raised his gun and fired three shots at Jeffrey.But Jeffrey seemed to have already anticipated Marion's move. With just a quick motion, he pulled Ivan in front of him.The three bullets hit Ivan right in the heart. Ivan slowly looked down at his chest. It was only then that the pain hit him all over his body. He finally realized he was dying.He turned to look at Jeffrey. His lips parted, but no words came out. By the time he collapsed, Jeffrey's men had surrounded Marion.Marion's hand tightened around the bloodstained ring. He had come for a bloodbath. If he couldn't save Debra, he wasn't planning to leave alive.Juan spoke up. "Save your energy. No matter how much you fight, the result won't change. You might as well think about how to make your exit.""He's not leaving," Jeffrey said, turning to Marion. "Your bullets have run out, and I won't give you a chance to reload. Everyone who came here is going to die."At his command, sever

Jeffrey muttered, "A shame. She was promising."Pulling a blanket over Debra's face, he turned to Juan. "The four families will retaliate now that she's dead. Clean this up.""How?""Burn her. Suppress the news of her death. Let no word leak tonight."Without hesitation, Juan strode to the bedside, flicked open a lighter, and set the curtains ablaze. Flames crawled hungrily across the sheets, engulfing the figure beneath the blanket. Only when fire fully consumed the body did Jeffrey nod and exit....At dawn the next day, Melody's funeral procession began.Pallbearers carried the coffin through the mist-shrouded gates. The air seemed to thicken with foreboding.The first gunshot tore through a pallbearer's chest before anyone registered the danger."It's Marion Houston!" someone shouted.Marion emerged from the fog, his forces fanning out behind him. Bullets rained down as the remaining bearers collapsed. The Nichols family guards rushed forward, only to fall under crossfire
