The Odom and Blair families shared a rich history, their bond strengthened over generations. Years ago, Kate gave birth to a daughter named Jade Blair. However, when her husband, Declan Blair, engaged in an extramarital affair, Katé took their child and vanished. Declan yearned to find his daughter, especially since the Odom and Blair families had arranged a
marriage between their children long ago. Despite his efforts, the search yielded no results and eventually stalled.
When Edgar assumed control of the Odom family, he made it his mission to locate Jade. He employed every resource at his disposal, sparing no expense in his quest.
Erica was engrossed in the tale and impressed by Edgar's devotion. Then she looked up and asked Debra, "But how did you know Edgar was doing this for the Blair family?"
Debra didn't know how to respond. She couldn't very well reveal that in her past life, Edgar's fiancée had died, causing a significant uproar.
Instead, she fabricated a story. "I happened to come across the information earlier. I thought it was rather romantic of Edgar to go to such lengths."
"Romantics are a rare breed in families like ours. Everything revolves around interests and entanglements, * Erica disapproved. "I find it hard to believe he'd exert so much effort on a woman he's never seen. It's likely just a media stunt orchestrated by both families. Debra chose not to engage in the speculation. She had grown beyond the naïve girl who once chased after Juan. With the clear interests at play between the families, it was evident that Edgar's support for Shelia was merely a strategic move to align himself with the Blair family.
"Well, don't mention my injury to Randy," Debra requested.
Erica nodded in understanding. "Okay, but I don't think we can keep it hidden for long.
Marion was already back. Given his concern for Debra, he would not spend a week without meeting her. It was only a matter of time before he found out.
Besides, Debra still had her duties at the McKinney Group.
Erica said, "I'll get some water for you. Then I'll take you home."
Debra nodded, and soon after, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed down the hallway. Melody, flanked by an entourage of bodyguards, made a grand entrance,
"Debra, so you really are here," Melody declared, her voice sharp and accusatory.
She looked older, her features etched with lines of worry and anger. She grasped Debra's arm and demanded, "Where did you take my great-grandson? Did you harm him? How could you be so cruel?" Debra winced, her ears still sensitive from her injury. Melody's harsh her discomfort. She frowned, feeling a wave of dizziness wash over her.

A nurse rushed into the room, her voice firm yet polite. Ma'am, please, the patient needs to rest. You should leave."
Before she could come up, the bodyguards formed a barrier, preventing her from approaching.
"Everyone, look," Melody announced dramatically, gesturing towards Debra. "This woman has kidnapped my pregnant granddaughter-in-law. We don't know what she's done to my great-grandson."
