Juan’s gaze turned sharp. Debra couldn’t pinpoint which question had triggered his defenses, but from the look in his eyes, she could tell that Juan knew something.

Before she could push further, a maid came running up, breathless. “Sir, Miss Vargas just took off with your car,”

Debra said, “I only wanted her to replace Melody for clarification. Now she’s all worked up. Let’s hope nothing serious happens.”

“Let’s go,” Juan said, leading her to leave.

He quickly started up his spare car, speeding toward the new home.

Meanwhile, Hester was pounding on the front gate. Sophie opened the door with a look of confusion, only to be even more puzzled when she saw Hester, looking wild and almost hysterical.

“Miss Vargas?”

“Where is Mrs. Nichols Sr.? Where is she?”

“She…”

Before Sophie could even finish her sentence, Hester pulled out a knife, the blade catching the light. Sophie’s face drained of color, her voice shaking.

“What are you doing with that?”

To Debra’s bitter realization, Melody hadn’t changed at all. In this life, she was still resorting to such vile, underhanded schemes to get her way.

Melody’s expression remained cool as she replied, “I have no idea what you’re talking about. How would I know who went into your room?”

Melody’s cold, sarcastic words hit Hester like a slap, but Debra broke the tension with a clap of her hands.

elder…

“Well said, I’ve never seen an could wash their hands of responsibility so cleanly.”

Melody’s brow shot up. “What are you trying to say?”

Debra replied smoothly, “Is the old house the kind of place where any random man can just stroll in? And not only that, he just so happened to head straight to Miss Vargas’s room, like he knew what would happen once he got there. If no one told him where to go, I’d say that’s hard to believe.”
