Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 402

A shiver ran down Shelia's spine like a drip of ice water.

She'd once pegged Edgar as a gentleman easy to push over. But she'd been dead wrong.

He was as ruthless as they came, and his so-called affection was nothing more than a smokescreen.

What he wanted was just the Blair family's support to boost his influence in Seamar City.

Edgar's voice cut through the air, cold as steel. "If you don't want to end up like her, you'll toe the line and stay on my good side."

"I won't make that mistake." Shelia shook her head fervently. "As long as I remain Jade and your fiancée, I'll do whatever you ask."

"Excellent!" Edgar shrugged off his coat. "Tomorrow, you'll accompany me to the hospital. You'll apologize to Michael."

"What?" Shelia blanched. "You want me to bow to Michael?"

"Not just Michael. Debra too," Edgar specified.

Her face drained of color. "No. I can't do that."

Edgar's gaze sharpened, and Shelia wilted. "Just not Debra. Anything but that."

Edgar scoffed. "Would you rather go to jail?"

Shelia shuddered even at the thought of jail.

Debra raised an eyebrow. This was a far cry from the Shelia she knew.

"What's all this about, Mr. Odom?"

She sat down on the sofa, her gaze fixed on Shelia's penitent form. "And Miss Miles, with your status, you shouldn't be groveling on the floor."

As a polite gesture, she added, "You can get up and speak."

But Shelia continued to repent her mistakes. "I was wrong. Edgar has opened my eyes. I let jealousy cloud my judgment, and I'm truly sorry. Please, Debra, find it in your heart to forgive me."

Debra calmly watched as Shelia staged her performance.
