Melody furrowed her brow and chimed in, “Why didn’t you cback if you were alive? Do you know how
worried everyone was? And now you show up at the funeral. How thoughtless can you be?”
“You received the clothes retrieved by the rescue team and couldn’t wait to hold the funeral. Naturally, | had to
cand see for myself.” Debra looked around the church, taking in the surroundings, and remarked, “It's a
style | like, but unfortunately, | won't be able to enjoy it.
She vividly remembered how she had tried so hard to please Melody in her past life. She had listened to
Melody’s every word and shown Melody with more respect than she had shown her parents.
But Melody had seen her as nothing more than a tool to be used and discarded at will.
When Melody found that Shelia could benefit Juan more, she welcomed Shelia into the family without a second
thought, casting Debra aside like an old, unwanted toy.

Like Juan, Melody had ice running through her veins.
Debra turned her attention back to Shelia. “Miss Miles, how long have you been pregnant? Two weeks? Three
weeks? Or four?”
Her words drew a round of gasps from the guests. Two weeks ago, Debra had still been unharmed, which meant
that Juan had been unfaithful even before the accident.
The scandal of the affair and Debra’s near-death experience painted a clear picture of a ruthless battle for family
power.
Shelia shifted uncomfortably under Debra’s scrutiny, her gaze darting away.” This is none of your business. |
don’t need to tell you.”
She wanted everyone to know she was carrying Juan's child, but she didn’t want to be branded as a mistress.
Melody, sensing the potential damage to the Nichols family’s reputation, intervened swiftly.

“Since you're back, let's talk this over privately. You need to be mindful of the public setting,” she hissed.
Debra, however, was not about to be silenced. “Mrs. Nichols Sr., your welcomed Shelia into your house when |
went missing. I'm not being unreasonable. Since Shelia is pregnant, | naturally should step aside.”
Melody thought she heard things. “What?”
Debra turned to the crowd, declaring, “Everyone, | am divorcing Juan today. | just want to let you all know that
Juan and | will go our separate ways.”
Shelia’s face lit up with uncontrollable joy, but Melody’s expression darkened. Debra’s public announcement had
not only embarrassed the Nichols family but had also ensured that they would becthe laughingstock of the
city.

“What nonsense are you spouting? | think you're confused after falling into the sea,” Melody said, reaching out
to grab her.
Just then, ten bodyguards in black suits surged into the church, forming at protective barrier around Debra.
Melody was astounded, realizing Debra had cprepared.
“Mrs. Nichols Sr., get it straight. Juan failed me, and it’s only reasonable forto divorce him.”
“You... This is outrageous!”
Melody pointed a finger at Debra. Before she could say another word, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted, her
body crumpling to the floor.
The crowd erupted into chaos, guests rushing to Melody’s side as someone
frantically called for an ambulance. Debra stood by quietly, her SON
calm and composed as she watched the commotion unfold.
The funeral, meant to be a grand affair, had turned into a spectacle. The reporters, who were called over by
Melody, swarmed the church like vultures, eager to capture every sordid detail.
