Chapter 555
I'm not here to cause trouble. | just have something to say to you
Melody tried to maintain her composure, but there was already a crack in her expression.
“Well then. But if | catch you making a scene here again, things won't be so civil.”
“Are you threatening me, your grandmother-in-law?”
“Not really. Just don’t forget that I still have your OU, if | were to push for repayment, | doubt you could cup
with that much money in such a short time.”
Melody was furious but found herself trapped.

w her pride.
“I see you don’t want to make this mess any bigger. So, remember what | said. Don’t test my limits,” Debra
added, restarting the elevator,
Melody was not happy, but she couldn't afford to escalate things further.
Once they stepped into the office, Melody glanced at the space.
“Looks like your boss treats you quite well.”
“Get to the point,” Debra said as she sat down in her chair.
Melody sat across from her without hesitation. “I’m here because | want you to help Juan by digging up secrets
about the McKinney Group.”
“Oh?” Debra arched a brow, a hint of amusement in her voice. “And why would you think I'd do that?”
Melody leaned in slightly, her expression serious. “You know the Nichols Group lost a lot of money recently. After
you mentioned it, | checked the accounts and spoke to sof the board members. The drop in our stock is all
because of the McKinney Group's manipulations behind the scenes. Your boss, Tracy, couldn’t win against Juan
fairly, so he resorted to underhanded tricks.”
Debra cut her off. “Just tellwhat you wantto do.”
Melody didn’t miss a beat. “I know you're close to Tracy. He must be fond of you, or else why would he give you
such a nice office?”
Debra raised an eyebrow. “What are you implying?”
“Don’t play dumb with me. | know you, Debra. If it weren't for Tracy liking you, there's no way you'd be an
executive here. I'm here to remind you of your real place. You're Juan's wife, and it’s tyou act like it.”
Melody observed Debra’s expression, her tone growing more self-righteous. “I need you to act as Juan's spy.
Since Tracy likes you, he'll tell you everything. Use the information you get to help Juan recover the Nichols
Group's stock value. And don’t worry. I'll make sure you're well compensated.”

Debra could hardly believe what she was hearing. A short laugh escaped her, growing into full-on laughter that
echoed through the office.
“What's so funny?”

“I'm sorry. It's just the ridiculousness of what you're saying. | couldn't help myself.”
Melody’s face turned a deeper shade of red
“Do you think this is a joke? Lettell you, | know all about what's been going on between you and Tracy The
fact that I'm willing to overlook it isgiving you a chance. Don’t think for a second I'll tolerate your shameless
behavior forever.”
