Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1396

Juan had a certain guess in his mind.

He had always known about the strained relationship between Melody and Jeffrey, but he never imagined Jeffrey could go to such extremes.

"You can go."

"But Mrs. Nichols Sr..."

"Leave!"

Sophie exited the room, closing the door behind her.

Staring at the closed door, Juan was reminded of a similar scene from over a decade ago. Melody had shut the study door just like this.

"You are not to leave this room until you finish reading these books," she had commanded.

Then the scene shifted to when Melody was thrashing him with a whip. "If you don't work hard, you won't amount to anything. And if you don't amount to anything, you won't be able to protect this family."

Juan endured the pain and humiliation with bitter resentment. From that moment on, he learned to hide his emotions. He couldn't afford to have likes or dislikes. Besides the Nichols Group, nothing and no one else mattered.

Melody had always prided herself on being an educator, boasting about how she had raised Jeffrey and Juan to be successful, but in the end, Jeffrey had left her.

Since then, she had viewed Jeffrey as her greatest shame.

Juan both hated and loved Melody for turning him into an unfeeling machine. It was her upbringing that had shaped him into the person he was today.
