Chapter 338
The restaurant area of the Emerald Hotel was exclusively reserved by Juan. The lighting was dim, and retro music played softly in the background. The chef meticulously arranged the dishes, the presentation creating a somewhat ambiguous mood. Debra glanced at the dishes on the table, her expression cool and detached. "I thought you came to see me to sign the divorce papers."
Earlier that day, there had been a significant uproar at the Nichols Group. The resentment towards her was palpable, and Debra couldn't believe that Melody hadn't made any move in such a high-pressure situation. Juan was supposed to discuss the divorce with her now, not arrange a private dinner.
"Does Marion know about your relationship with Tracy? Juan suddenly asked.
Debra frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Juan replied, "Tracy opposed the Nichols Group for your sake. Before you had the accident, you had the Frazier Group merge with his company. Your relationship must be special."
Realization dawned on Debra. Juan thought she could only bring the Frazier Group to its glory because she was relying on Tracy.
He had never believed that a woman like her could elevate the family on her own, and he certainly didn't believe that Debra, who used to follow him around, could be the owner of the McKinney Group.
"So, you think I have a thing with Tracy?" Debra said, swirling the wine in her glass. "I just wonder what kind of relationship you think we have-whether it's something in bed or..."
Juan's composure cracked, which was a rare sight. "Debra, I failed you, so I kept quiet no matter what you did. But you shouldn't degrade yourself like this."
"You just don't understand me. If you don't want a divorce, then there's no point in finishing this meal,* Debra stated indifferently, standing up from her chair
Juan quickly moved behind her, tightly wrapping his arms around her. Debra snapped, "Let go of me!"
Juan's voice was low and desperate. "That day at the police station, you deliberately let me go. You still have feelings for me, don't you?"
Debra stopped struggling, allowing him to hold her.
Noticing her lack of resistance, Juan was about to feel relieved, but Debra's cold voice cut through the air. "I let you go just because you had nothing to do with the matter. That's all."
The driver dropped Shelia off at the hotel entrance. Through the glass window, Shelia saw Juan hugging Debra from behind, her eyes widening in fury.
She stormed into the hotel, and the security guards failed to stop her. Shelia rushed up to Debra, pulled her away, and slapped her.
Shelia snarled, "You bitch! You're about to get a divorce and still trying to seduce Juan. You're disgusting?"
Her loud voice startled the customers checking in outside, drawing many curious glances towards theContent is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
restaurant.
Juan immediately pulled her hand away from Debra. "Have you lost your mind? How dare you come here and make a scene?"
Shelia's eyes blazed with fury. "If you dare to be with Debra here, why shouldn't I come? Don't forget that I'm carrying your child. Melody has promised me that once you two are divorced, I'll marry you. How can you treat me like this?"
