Chapter 306
"Juan, are you crazy?" Melody was shocked.
Hester also paled, her bravado crumbling in an instant. She had mustered all her courage to speak up for Juan, but his words had turned her into a laughing stock in everyone's eyes. Tears welled up in Hester's eyes, threatening to spill over.
Melody whirled on Debra, her eyes blazing with fury. "Debra, did you put Juan under a spell? How did you make him say such things?"
"Grandma, it has nothing to do with her," Juan said, his gaze lingering on Debra's face.
She looked away, and the police officer announced, "According to Mr. Nichols' testimony, Debra was kidnapped by her family members, Stanley and Rosalie
"Go arrest them immediately."
"Yes, sir."
The police officers went into action. Juan showed no sign of defending himself.
Melody gritted her teeth, her voice dropping to a low growl. "Are you disregarding our reputation for just a woman?"
"I admit to what I did," Juan said, turning to Joe. Take my grandma back.
"Sir..." Joe hesitated, glancing at Debra. "Madam, Mr. Nichols has nothing to do with this. It was Rosalie who called him. He rushed over because he was worried about you. He had no intention of colluding with Rosalie to kidnap you."
Debra frowned slightly, but Juan cut him off. "I told you to send my grandma back. Who told you to talk here?"
"Sir..."
"Go!"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Juan's voice was light with suppressed anger. Melody clung to this apparent lifeline, her eyes darting around the room as she pointed at the people surrounding her.
"Did you all hear that? This has nothing to do with Juan. It's all a trap set by the Frazier family, who are unwilling to let go of our support." She turned to Debra and sneered, "You pretended to be righteous in front of others, saying you wanted a divorce. But then you tumed around and joined your family in offering yourself to Juan. I see you don't really want a divorce. You just want to stay with our family and get benefits."
Debra wanted to retort, but Marion grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"Debra is my woman. Anyone who insults her insults me," he declared.
Debra looked up at him, her eyes searching his face. He usually appeared calm and detached, but now he was deadly serious.
Pedro instantly understood Marion's meaning. He turned to the two officers beside him and ordered, "Get the troublemakers out."
As the officers prepared to step forward, Hester anxiously spoke up. "Juan, say something. Are you just watching them take your grandma away like this? She came here for you."
Juan's gaze lingered on Debra and Marion for a moment longer before he stepped in front of Melody, his expression cold. "I dare you to touch my family.
