Debra casually steered the conversation towards the topic of married couples, and as anticipated, Leah's
expression turned somber.
“Now, somehow, the mistress becomes Miss Blair, and here | am, forced to meet them,” Debra remarked, her
voice laced with disdain as she referred to Shelia.
Leah was aware of the tension between Debra and Shelia and had felt uncomfortable witnessing Shelia, with her
prominent baby bump, appearing in front of Melody.
Leah frowned, her voice dropping to a whisper. “The Nichols family, really! How could they allow a mistress to
waltz into their hlike this? They don’t want a divorce, yet they openly parade her around. It's disgraceful.”
Knowing Leah's attitude, Debra said, “They sentthis invitation. If it weren't for the chance to see you again, |
wouldn't have bothered to come.”

Leah patted her hand reassuringly. “Let’s meet privately and avoid these commercial events.”
Debra agreed with a smile, “Good.”
A maid approached them, her voice polite yet firm. “Ms. Frazier, the old lady would like to see you.”
Leah frowned, waving a dismissive hand. “I still have much to discuss with Ms. Frazier. Tell Melody that Debra will
join her later. Debra is staying withfor a while longer.”
The maid, not daring to argue, relayed the message as instructed. Debra offered a slight smile and continued her
conversation with Leah, her eyes occasionally glancing towards Melody and Shelia.
She noticed Melody’s displeased expression, while Shelia was quietly consoling her.
Debra hadn't expected Melody to accept Shelia so readily, given her previous quarrel with Declan. Knowing her
character, Melody wouldn't have allowed Shelia to attend this event unless Shelia had shown weakness and
begged for forgiveness, using her pregnancy as leverage.
However, the absence of both Declan and Edgar was unexpected. Debra couldn't help but wonder what was
keeping them.
Suddenly, Melody’s voice echoed through the room, commanding everyone's attention. “Ladies and gentlemen,
today we invited you not only to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Riley’s new products but also to announce my future
granddaughter-in-law.”
She took Shelia’s hand, her voice filled with pride. “Miss Blair will becMrs. Nichols.”
Shelia blushed, her face radiant with happiness. Debra, however, couldn't help but furrow her brow.
Melody’s decision was baffling. After her previous clash with Declan, it was surprising enough for Shelia to be
even present. But for Melody to officially announce Shelia as part of the Nichols family was inexplicable.
Leah, noticing Debra’s discomfort, leaned in to comfort her. “Debra, don’t be upset. This means you can finally
get a divorce.”
