Chapter 381

Erica rolled her eyes. “I think they’re birds of a feather. Did you resolve the issue with Cathryn?”

Debra shrugged. “Cathryn can’t stir up any trouble. Marion wouldn’t even bother looking at her.”

Erica’s mood soured further, and she kicked Randy. “It’d better be that way.”

Randy yelped in pain. “Hey! Why did you kick me for no reason?”

Debra’s arrival at Nichols Group headquarters caused quite a stir.

“Isn’t that Ms. Frazier? What is she doing here?”

“Isn’t it obvious? She was publicly at odds with Mr. Nichols before. Now that the Frazier Group is bankrupt, she’s naturally here to seek his help.”

“I thought she had a lot of pride, but it turns out she’s just here to beg Mr. Nichols for reconciliation?”

The whispers reached Debra’s ears, but she ignored them. The recent news about the Frazier and Nichols families had been unpleasant, and her visit to the Nichols Group was bound to spark gossip. But she wasn’t focused on that right now.

Joe, who had been waiting on the first floor, quickly approached her as she entered. “Madam, Mr. Nichols is already waiting for you in the conference room.”

“Don’t ‘Madam’ me anymore. Just call me Ms. Frazier.”

“But… Mr. Nichols…”

“It’s alright. Just don’t address me that way when I’m around.”

“Understood.”

He led her upstairs. Through the transparent glass, Debra saw Juan seated at his desk. Dressed in a sharp suit, he looked as aloof and reserved as ever.

Chapter 301

Debra entered the conference room and got straight to the point.

“So, what’s the deal?”

“With your company going bankrupt, I assume you’re in urgent need of money.”

“So, you called me here to offer me money?”

“All the shareholders withdrew their shares. The worth is at least five billion. Did Marion help you with that?”

“That’s none of your concern.”

“Legally speaking, you’re still my wife.”

“You don’t have to worry about that, and I want to ask you something.”

Debra gathered her thoughts and met Juan’s deep gaze. She looked away and said, “I want to know if you sent Shelia to Edgar’s side.”

Even though Edgar was the top dog in Booton, he wouldn’t dare cause trouble on Juan’s turf. Shelia was carrying Juan’s child. If he wanted to take her away, he would need Juan’s approval.

“I let her go, but I didn’t know she would…” Juan paused. “Why do you ask?”

Debra didn’t know how to reply. She had thought about what to say all the way here, but couldn’t come up with a good story. She couldn’t just tell him she was reborn and wanted to figure out some things from her past life.

After a moment of silence, she asked, “Did you ever have feelings for Shelia?”

Juan’s response was firm and immediate. “Never.”

“But…”

“Maybe I once thought she was a kind-hearted and ambitious girl who lacked social experience. As her investor, I wanted to maximize the benefits of my investment, but I never had feelings for her.”
