Chapter 587
“I was just afraid of losing you,” Marion said, his voice filled with a rare sincerity.
Usually, he was the epitome of rebellion and nonchalance, making it hard for others to read him. But moments like these, when he was earnest, were few and far between.
Debra pinched his nose. “I’ll take care of myself. And even if I can’t, I know you’ll be there to protect me, right?”
Her words finally brought a smile to Marion’s face. He feared nothing except the thought of Debra getting
hurt.
“About those flowers…”
“I’ll take them. Could you have them sent to my apartment, please?”
She handed Marion her apartment key. “Make sure to fill the place with them.”
“Of course,” Marion replied, holding the key tightly.
Meanwhile, the Nichols family had received some news. Melody looked at the photos in her hand, her anger boiling over as she slammed them onto the table.
One photo showed a man pulling a car full of flowers to the entrance of the McKinney Group, and another showed a man waiting outside Debra’s apartment and interacting with her.
Another showed a man and Debra sitting in a car, laughing together.
The paparazzo, seeing Melody’s fury, quickly spoke up. “Madam, I got everything you asked for. About the payment…”
“Did you get a clear look at the man? Who is he?” Melody demanded.
“I–I don’t know. I’m just the photographer,” the paparazzi stammered, clearly not wanting to get involved
further.
Melody took a deep breath and handed over the money. “Keep an eye on Debra. If you find out who this man is, I’ll pay you more.”
“Absolutely, I’ll keep a close watch on Mrs. Nichols,” the paparazzo agreed, pocketing the money and leaving.
Looking at the photos on the table, Sophie couldn’t help but ask, “Mrs. Nichols Sr., could these photos be fake?”
“Fake? With so many photos? Impossible.”
Melody scoffed. “Debra is nothing but trouble. Juan has been willing to forgive and forget, and this is how she repays him. Keeping a boy toy on the side. And she calls herself a lady from a scholarly family? Bah!”
Sophie stood silently, not daring to say a word.
“Inform Juan to come home immediately. And tell Debra to come back as well.”
Melody couldn’t tolerate Debra’s infidelity. Sophie, though hesitant, quickly called Debra.
In her office, Debra answered Sophie’s call, feeling a mix of surprise and annoyance. Melody had been quiet for a couple of days, but now she was up to something again.
“Madam, Mrs. Nichols Sr. is furious and wants you and Mr. Nichols to come home immediately,” Sophie
said.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“And what’s the reason this time?”
“Some photos.”
“Photos?”
“Yes, photos of you and a man laughing together, and of the man pulling a car full of flowers to your company’s entrance.”
Debra realized the man in the photos was Marion. The photos must not have captured his face, or Melody would have recognized him.
“Alright, I’ll be right there.”
