My Gentle Wife is a Real Divine Being

Chapter 263

Debra brushed off Marion’s joke, but the next morning, Seamar City was abuzz with an astonishing rumor.

Caleb had relinquished control of the entire Houston family assets to Marion, propelling him to the head of the family overnight.

When Debra saw the news, she was taken aback. Caleb was a cunning and calculating man; he wouldn’t surrender his power without a reason.

Marion must have done something to compel Caleb to hand ove he reins of the Houston family.

The Houston family, despite their lower profile in recent years, still wielded significant influence in Seamar City. According to the timeline from her previous life, Marion shouldn’t have been recognized as the successor for another three years.

Yet, here they were, with Marion acknowledged as the heir and in control of all family assets ahead of schedule. Debra was naturally astonished.

This sudden shift in power dynamics meant that the inevitable conflict between Marion and Juan was now imminent. With the recent blows from the McKinney Group, Juan was likely no match for Marion’s newly acquired influence and resources.

Meanwhile, Juan received the hospital’s test results, confirming Shelia’s pregnancy. The timeline indicated that the child was indeed his.

In the grand hall of the Nichols family estate, Joe escorted Shelia to stand before Juan. The atmosphere was tense, and Melody had been promptly informed of the situation. Standing behind her, Melody wore a sullen expression, her jealousy barely concealed.
