Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right

Debra's plan was well laid, but Andrew flashed a smile.

"If Edgar knew you played him like this, draining all his investment funds, he wouldn't let you off easily."

"It's just a few billion. The president of the Odom Group shouldn't be holding a grudge over that, should he?"

Debra shrugged, but deep down, she knew Edgar would eventually discover her scheme.

Although the Potter Group and the McKinney Group had business dealings, Edgar remained oblivious to the fact that Debra was the one pulling the strings behind the McKinney Group.

Naturally, he wouldn't have suspected her involvement in luring away the trainees and sabotaging the program.

But secrets had a way of surfacing, and Debra knew her earlier boasting in front of Edgar would make him wary and suspicious. However, she was prepared to face the consequences and go head-to-head with him if necessary. Andrew leaned back in his chair. "Training those trainees cost me a lot of money."

Debra sat down across from him. "Isn't a few billion enough to cover the expenses? I promise that after these trainees debut, I'll ensure you receive the compensation you deserve."

Andrew raised his hands. "I'm a businessman interested in numbers. I want this."Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"One billion?"

"Ten billion within two years."

Debra frowned. "You're asking for too much."

Even though the trainees were making money now, ten billion was no small feat. To achieve a pure profit of that magnitude, she would need to create a top-tier group.

"I believe you can do it. After all, you took away my carefully selected trainees. You owe me this," Andrew said.

"Ten billion it is," Debra replied, extending her hand and high-fiving Andrew in agreement.

In the opulent confines of his villa, Edgar sat behind his desk. His expression darkened as he scanned the documents his secretary had brought.

"You're saying the trainee program is ruined?"

"Yes, sir. We received news from Potter Entertainment that, due to issues with the show, all the trainees have jumped ship. They've all quit. It seems Oscar led the charge. Potter Entertainment now has to pay a large breach of contract fee to the production team. The most critical issue is that Juan withdrew his investment yesterday. Now, our investment..."

Edgar's eyes narrowed dangerously as he recalled Debra's earlier boasting. "So, it was Debra."

"Debra? How could it be?"

Chace's mind raced. 'The Frazier family is already bankrupt, so how could Debra cause us to lose money? The trainee program is huge investment. Is Debra really capable of ruining it?'

He voiced his doubt. "Could it be Oscar's doing?"

Edgar snorted, "Oscar? When that woman left with him, she didn't take a penny. He couldn't even afford his breach of contract fee, so how could he possibly incite everyone to leave? It doesn't make sense."

"Sorry, sir, I was ill-considered."

"Debra isn't as simple as she seems. Investigate her thoroughly. I want to know every connection she has. Besides Marion and Juan, who else is backing her up?"

Edgar had already assigned people to monitor Marion's every move. Since Marion hadn't made any recent moves, it seemed the trainee program issues were unrelated to him.
