"This way, please." Barton gestured.


    Joe conceded, "Okay. I''ll negotiate with Mrs. Nichols Sr."


    ...


    In the Nichols Mansion, Melody received the call.


    "What? Marion ising too?" she spluttered.


    Marion had always been at odds with them. Then he married Debra, making the Nichols family aughingstock.


    She''d never let him set foot in her house.


    "Madam, please bear with it," Joe said.


    If they didn''t let Marion in, the talk with Debra was out of the question.


    Melody took a deep breath. "Fine! Let him in."


    A little humiliation was nothing if she could regain control of the Nichols Group.


    Sophie came up to pour a cup of tea for her.


    "Take it easy, Madam. Anyway, Mrs. Houston is better than an outsider."


    "Theda took my shares and defied me. If only I had another grandson, things wouldn''t have been like this."


    Theda took her shares, and Debra dismissed Theda. It was a double blow.


    Sophie sighed, "If she hadn''t divorced Mr. Nichols back then..."


    Melody snorted, "You think we should get that fickle woman back? Dream on."

    It had been a long time since Debra had been there. When she married Juan, they moved to a new house She wasn''t even allowed to show up here. The new house had been burned down, but everything around the old house remained unchanged.


    Now she was no longer Juan''s wife. She came as the CEO of McKinney Group and Marion''s wife.


    "Mr. and Mrs. Houston, pleasee in." Joe led them inside.


    Melody was sitting on the sofa in the living room, with tea already served on the table.


    Sophie had tears in her eyes when she saw Debra again after so long. She was happy for Debra to find her true love.


    Debra smiled back at Sophie, who was the only one in the Nichols family who had cared for her.


    "Please have a seat," Melody said. "Mrs. Houston, you yed well at thepany earlier. I was expressed."


    "Surely, you didn''t invite me here just to say that, right?" Debra responded.
