When Debra heard the valuable gift, everything clicked into place.
She understood Melody’s motivations perfectly. Given Melody’s obsession with reputation and status, there was
no way she would reject Declan’s personal negotiation and generous offer, especially since Shelia was carrying
the Nichols family’s heir.
Debra sneered, realizing that whether in her past life or this one, Melody was always driven by profit and self-
interest.
In her previous life, when Debra was the heiress of the Frazier family, Melody had treated her very well. But with
Shelia’s pregnancy and the potential benefits, Melody was eager to elevate her instead.
It seemed that history was repeating itself, with Shelia taking on Jade's identity and carrying Juan's child.

She wasn’t the only one curious about Juan's absence. Other guests were also scanning the room, whispering
among themselves.
“With the future Mrs. Nichols present, where is Mr. Nichols?”
“Madam.”
Ben leaned in, whispering something in Debra’s ear.
Debra paused for a moment before saying, “I see.”
“Debra, what's wrong?” Leah asked, noticing Debra’s preoccupied expression.
“I need to go upstairs for a bit. I'll be down soon,” Debra replied with a polite smile.

“Debra,” Shelia began, her voice soft and pleading.
Debra’s tone was cold and unyielding. “I expected to see Juan. Miss Blair, why did you callup here in his
name? What is it you want to discuss?”
Shelia moved closer, her eyes wide and innocent. “Debra, | know you're upset about this. | called you here to tell

A scream erupted from below, and all eyes turned to the horrifying spectacle. Shelia lay at the bottom of the
stairs, a pool of blood spreading ominously across the floor.
“Help! Miss Blair fell from the stairs.”
“Jade!” an elderly voice rang out.
Declan had just arrived and witnessed the scene. Edgar, accompanying him, rushed to Shelia’s side, his face
etched with concern.
Declan helped Shelia up, cradling her limp body in his arms. Edgar turned to the maid, his voice urgent and
commanding. “Call an ambulance!”
The maid, momentarily stunned, quickly snapped into action and dialed for emergency services.
Declan raised his head and glared at Debra, who was standing at the top of the stairs.
