Chapter 475

Sheila has lost her child, and Juan, who once cared for Debra, might soften upon seeing her grief, Debra thought. Just then, several Nichols Group employees passed by, whispering.

“Did you hear? Mr. Nichols and Miss Blair are getting engaged.”

“For real? I thought it was just a rumor.”

“Totally real. I overheard it in the meeting room today. Mr. Nichols really is going to get engaged to Miss Blair.”

“But why would they get engaged after losing the child? What’s Mr. Nichols thinking?”

The chatter reached Erica and Randy, who both turned to look at Debra. Debra, however, seemed unperturbed. “Let’s go to my place.”

“Okay,” Erica replied, her voice filled with worry. She knew Debra had once adored Juan, and their impending divorce was a hot topic in Seamar City. She couldn’t help but feel anxious about Debra’s reaction to the news.

In her car, Debra called Ben.

“Madam.”

“Send another copy of the divorce agreement today. I think Juan will sign it.”

“But we’ve already sent several copies. He…”

“He’ll sign it.”

Debra was certain that, with Juan’s decision to engage Sheila, he wouldn’t let her remain Mrs. Nichols any longer. Debra glanced one last time at the building, a small smile playing on her lips. Perhaps today would mark the end of her and Juan’s tangled history.

Meanwhile, every TV channel buzzed with news about Juan and Sheila. Mr. Nichols and Miss Blair entered a bridal shop. Mr. Nichols and Miss Blair are getting engaged soon, having already met each other’s families.

Melody watched the news with growing fury. With a sudden burst of anger, she hurled the remote onto the floor.

“This is crazy!” Her face contorted with anger.

Sophie quickly picked up the remote and tried to soothe Melody. “Mrs. Nichols Sr., please take it easy.”

Melody’s face darkened. “Take it easy? Hell no! Is Juan out of his mind? Engaging with a woman like Sheila? She killed her child. I will never accept such a vicious woman.”

The grief of losing her great-grandson was still raw, and the thought of Sheila entering their family was unbearable.

“Mrs. Nichols Sr…”

“Go, get Juan over here. Hurry!”

Sophie nodded and rushed to contact Joe. But before the call connected, Juan walked into the room. Melody rose and slapped him. “Fool! Who permitted you to get engaged to Sheila behind my back?”

“Grandma, isn’t this what you wanted?”

“I reluctantly agreed to your marriage because she was carrying your child. Otherwise, do you think I’d let such a woman into our family?” Melody said sternly. “As the head of the family, how could you make such a mistake? You need to hold a press conference right now. Sheila is not coming to our house.”

Juan seemed unmoved by her outburst. “Grandma, you always wanted me to divorce Debra, and I’m doing that. Now you want me to marry Sheila, and I agree. What else is there to be unhappy about?”
