Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 545

Sophie pulled the box out. With an impatient wave of her hand, Melody said, "Just put it up there."

"Yes."

"Wait," Debra interrupted. "Leave it here for now. I'll be taking it to my place in a bit."

Melody shot a suspicious glance at her.

"What are you planning? To live apart from Juan?"

"I've recently bought a new place closer to my office. Juan is fully aware of it. We've already discussed it. You don't have to worry about that."

"But what about this suitcase?"

"Don't you trust me? The contract's right here. If anything goes missing, I'll take full responsibility. Besides, Juan and I are remarried now. His money is mine to spend as I wish. Why would I care about such a small amount of money?"

Melody's face darkened at Debra's subtle bragging. She couldn't understand how Juan had fallen for such a woman in the first place.

Sophie, still holding the suitcase, offered, "Madam, this suitcase is quite heavy. Should I help you take it to your car?"

"No need," Debra replied, standing up. "My ride is already here. I'll handle it."

From outside, the sound of a car engine revving could be heard.

Sophie tried to help, but Melody snapped irritably, "Let her go. If she says she doesn't need help, we won't bother. If some other woman shows up in her place, it won't be our problem."

Melody's pointed jab hung in the air, but Debra didn't let it get under her skin. With the suitcase in hand, she calmly walked out.

Marion got out of the car to help her load the suitcase into the trunk.

Her eyes narrowed as Melody took in the scene through the window.

"And if you find even a hint of evidence, let me know immediately. I'll make sure she regrets ever stepping foot in this house."

"Understood."

In the car, Marion helped Debra buckle her seatbelt.

"Everything sorted out?"

"Yes. And I stumbled across something interesting."

She held up her hand, flashing the ring in front of Marion's face.

"This used to belong to royalty. I have a feeling there's a big secret hidden behind this little treasure."
