Goodbye Mr Ex I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 813

"Oh, really?" Debra paused, leaning on the second-floor railing. "And what business could Melody possibly have with me?"

Shelia snorted, "Stop playing dumb. You're having Melody's box, right? You're not Mrs. Nichols anymore, so hand it over."

Debra almost laughed. She'd nearly forgotten about that box.

Back then, to pay the Vargas family, Melody exchanged a box of her personal effects for one billion in cash.

Clearly, the old lady hadn't filled Shelia in on the details. That was typical Melody, always keeping her pawns in the dark.

"Do you know what's in that box?" Debra asked.

Shelia scoffed, "Of course. It's filled with Melody's most valuable possessions. You're to hand them all over."

Shelia assumed Debra had taken the box while holding the title of Mrs. Nichols. Now that she and Juan were divorced, Debra had no more reason to keep it.

Debra curled her lips. "Miss Blair, if you're here to collect the box, you should know the facts. But if you insist, you can have it."

Shelia sneered, "At least you know what's good for you. Go get that box."

Debra feigned surprise. "What's wrong? Miss Blair, don't tell me you don't have the funds."

Shelia puffed up. "Don't be ridiculous. I'm the future Mrs. Nichols. How could I not have just one billion dollars?"

She was now the general manager of the Nichols Group, and accessing the company funds would be easy enough for her.

But Debra saw through her bluster. "Oh, of course. But I hear Juan isn't in Seamar City right now. And ten billion is no small change. I'm afraid that, with your current position, you might not be able to sign off on that kind of money."

Debra's words hit the bullseye, and Shelia was left sputtering like a wet firecracker. "It's just one billion dollars. Do you think I can't get that? One call to Juan, and the money will be in my account in seconds."
