Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 554

Debra tidied up the desk and said, "Please keep an eye on some of my tasks for me. There's nothing extraordinary. Just ensure everything runs as usual. For business-related issues, consult with Marion and Randy. Most importantly, keep a close watch on Edgar. Report every movement of the Odom family to me."

"Yes, ma'am."

The phone in her office rang. She picked up the receiver, and the voice of the receptionist came through.

"Ma'am, Mrs. Nichols Sr. insists on seeing you. We can't seem to stop her."

"What does she want?"

"Well, she didn't say."

"Don't let her come up. I'll go down shortly."

"Understood."

The receptionist hung up, glanced at the glamorous elderly lady, and went to pour her a cup of tea.

"Madam, Ms. Frazier is coming down."

"I'm her grandmother-in-law. She should come to greet me properly."

Melody settled herself into a chair, sipping her tea with a scowl. "What kind of tea is this? It's terrible. Does the McKinney Group think it's acceptable to serve such poor-quality tea to their guests?"

Faced with Melody's deliberate rudeness, the receptionist could only force a polite smile. Debra descended from the upper floors, dressed in a sleek suit that highlighted her competent demeanor.

Melody trailed behind, her expression a mix of haughtiness and irritation.

Once they were in the elevator, Melody continued to grumble, "The taste of the McKinney Group is lacking. This elevator is so small and shabby."

Debra abruptly halted the elevator. The sudden stop threw Melody into a state of mild panic.

"What are you doing?"

"Grandma, let me make it clear. We should keep to our own lanes and avoid unnecessary conflict. It's unacceptable that you make a scene here."

Her cold voice sent a shiver down Melody's spine.
