At the Potter Mansion, Melodyid everything she owned on the table.


    "This is all my savings. When can I get that 10% share?" she asked.


    Debra was amazed by the dazzling collection of treasures. She clicked her tongue. "They say no one in Seamar City understands jewelry better than you. True that. Your lifetime''s collection is breathtaking."


    Melody was not ttered at all. Her mood soured even further.


    Debra picked up a bracelet from the table. "Take this bracelet, for example. Its value must be millions. I have to say, an impable eye."


    Melody picked up the sarcasm in her tone. "Yes, these things are fine. But now, they''re all yours."


    Debra set the bracelet down, her smile unwavering. "Well, business is business. I need some assurance before I can help you. Now that I''ve seen your collection, I feel much more at ease. Don''t worry. You''ll have your 10% share within seven days."


    "Why do I have to wait seven days?" Melody grumbled, dissatisfied.


    Debra sighed, "I don''t want to dy either, but unfortunately, the person in charge now is Mr. Lowe. It''ll take some effort to convince him. Please try to understand my position."


    Melody fumed with anger.


    Unbothered, Debra poured herself a cup of tea and continued, "It''s almost lunchtime. Why don''t we discuss this again in seven days?"


    Her intention of sending Melody away was clear.


    Melody wanted to argue, but Barton gestured. "This way, please."


    Melody was livid, but she couldn''t burn bridges with Debra just yet. Once she was gone, Erica and Randy emerged from a corner.


    Erica pped her hands. "That''s the first

    Good job there. She almost had

    "Marion and you are a match in this aspect," Randy echoed.


    "Were you two eavesdropping just now?"


    "Eavesdropping? No way. We were openly listening and nning to y a little prank on her."


    "What did you do?"


    Randy and Erica exchanged mischievous smiles.


    Outside, Melody had just reached


    her car when she noticed somet

    Joe''s face was grim. "Madam, the car''s unusable."


    "What happened?" Melody nced back at the mansion.


    There was one guard in the security room.


    She demanded, "Did Debra have
