From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After Novel

Chapter 437

Freya leveled a warning glare at Debra. I suggest you stay away from Oscar. His mother is not someone you want to mess with.”

With that, she pushed her suitcase and stormed off.

Debra’s mind whirred like a well–oiled machine. If Oscar was an illegitimate

child, then his mother must have been the mistress of the Odom family patriarch.

A plan began to form in her mind.

Across town at the Nichols family’s residence, Hester was dutifully. massaging Melody’s shoulders. “Juan hasn’t been home lately. Shouldn’t wel call him?”

“He’s becoming more and more disobedient,” Melody huffed, guiding. Hester’s hands away. “His heart is with Debra. You need to step up your game, Hester. Then he’ll have to marry you.”

Hester bit her lip, her eyes downcast. “But it’s not that simple. Juan…”

She was still in college, young and attractive, with a pleasant personality, but Juan had always been indifferent to her, treating her like a stranger.

Melody said meaningfully, “Men are all the same. Find the right approach, and he’ll notice you.”

Hester asked eagerly, “What should I do?”

Melody leaned in and whispered, “If you can bear his child, I will have a way to bring you in.”

Hester blushed, her resolve strengthening. “Thank you, Mrs. Nichols Sr. I’ll find a way to get close to Juan.”

After Hester left, Sophie entered the living room. “Mrs. Nichols Sr., are you really planning to let Miss Vargas into the family?”

Melody scoffed, “With her background? Letting her marry into the Nichols

SINCE SC-

family would be a joke.”

Sophie’s confusion deepened. “So, what is your plan?”

Melody’s eyes narrowed, her voice calculating. ‘She’s not clean–hearted, but she’s obedient. Right now, Juan is completely focused on Debra. Having Hester around might at least shift his attention. As long as he stops fixating on Debra and agrees to a divorce, marrying any woman afterward will be fine.”

She paused and added, “Find suitable girls for Juan in the next few days. They don’t need to come from prominent families, but they should come from scholarly backgrounds, worthy of Juan.”

Sophie hesitated before speaking up. “If he likes Ms. Frazier, why not…”

“What do you know? Melody reprimanded. “The Frazier family is broke, and Debra’s dreaming of becoming an actress. She sets herself against me and disgraces the Nichols family. Such a woman is unacceptable.”

Sophie bowed her head, chastised. “Yes, Mrs. Nichols Sr.”

Just as she was about to leave, the doorbell rang.

Melody frowned and ordered, “Open the door and see who it is.”

Sophie hurried to the door, her eyes widening in surprise as she took in the sight of Shelia, dressed to the nines in designer clothes.

Shelia directly rushed past Sophie, crouching before Melody and grabbing her leg.

“Mrs. Nichols Sr., you have to help me.”
