Chapter 11
Shelia lowered her head and stood timidly by Juan's side.
Juan's indifferent gaze reminded Debra of things in her last life, and her heart sank.
She had intended to thank him, but it seemed Juan didn't care at all.
"I'm tired. Do as you please," Debra said, heading upstairs.
Her thoughts were no longer on Juan and Shella.
If Aaron could easily make his move on her, others could too.
She couldn't always rely on Juan without any ability to protect herself.
The next day, Debra prepared to leave early, only to find Juan's grandmother sitting in the living room. Shelia stood nearby and looked aggrieved. "Melody?" Debra frowned.
Melody Nichols rarely visited. Debra wondered what brought her here.
"I heard from Juan that you spent ten billion dollars on a piece of land." Melody's tone held a hint of reproach.
Debra sat down and poured tea for Melody. "That's true."
"And were you kidnapped last night?"
Debra lowered her gaze. "Yes."

Shelia was speechless.

Eventually, the Frazier family fell, and she couldn't conceive. Shelia returned from abroad and became a support for Juan. Shelia did everything to please Melody and finally gained her favor. It all boiled down to interest.
Juan, who was leaving for work, overheard Melody's words and frowned. "Grandma, Shella is a college student I sponsor. She was injured last night, so I asked her to stay here. Don't blame her."

Melody sneered, "That's your thinking, but she might not see it that way. I came early and found her preparing breakfast. I didn't know when the Nichols family got a new hostess" Shelia turned pale.
She had wanted to make breakfast and wait for Juan to wake up, but Melody arrived before she could finish cooking.
She didn't even have a chance to explain before her intentions were exposed.
"Madam, I just wanted to make breakfast to thank Debra and Mr. Nichols. I didn't mean anything else." Shelia stuttered.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Debra saw her reaction and realized how inexperienced she was.
Melody had seen all kinds of women.
At a glance, she could see through Shelia's thoughts.
