NovelEnglishChapter 544 Melody glanced at the box on the floor. Debra's offer wasn't bad.
"Fine," Melody said, her voice cold and measured. "I'll pawn this box of valuables to you for now. But you'll have to present the money now and send them away." "Sure," Debra agreed. "But before we move forward, I have one condition." "What condition?" "The deal is fine, but I don't want to cout too far in the red. This ring looks nice. How about you lethave it?" "Are you kidding me? Do you even know how much this ring is worth? At least one billion dollars." "I'm well aware. At auction, it could even fetch more. But turning it into cash takes time, and finding the right buyer at the right price isn't guaranteed. Plus, auction houses take a hefty cut. Not to mention, if word got out that the Nichols family was selling off their treasures, it would damage your family's reputation. It would impact business, don't you think?"

Debra handed a check to the Vargas, who happily took it and left.
Debra produced a contract she had prepared earlier and handed it to Melody.
"Grandma, please sign here." The contract outlined the terms of their agreement, with everything written clearly. Melody put on her reading glasses and reviewed the document carefully, ensuring there were no loopholes.
She signed the paper and passed it back. "Even if the money's returned, it'll go to Juan. You'll get nothing out of this." "Juan's money is his to lend. It'll be returned to him, naturally," Debra said smoothly. “I'm simply acting on his behalf."
