*Debra, can you stop this?" Juan said coldly, standing protectively in front of She.


    Debra didn''t want to waste time arguing with him. She warned him straight up, "If you don''t want Grandma to see these photos, you better do as I say."


    Juan narrowed his eyes. "What do you want?"


    "I want you to leave the Mathis family alone andpensate them."


    She knew getting an apology from Juan was impossible. Besides, apologies were cheap and wouldn''t cost him anything. Thepensation, on the other hand, was much better. Juan replied icily, "Fat chance!"


    "Fine! I''ll just let Grandma see these photos and learn you''ve deceived her. She''ll know you came out with me today just to meet Shelia," Debra said. "I have nothing to lose here. But as for Shelia, Grandma has already cut off all her schrships and allowances. I can''t imagine what''ll happen to her if these photos. end up in Grandma''s hands."


    Shelia turned pale with fright.


    "Are you threatening me?"


    "Hell yeah!" Debra had no intention of wasting her breath on Juan.


    She had the evidence, and she was fully capable of using it to threaten him.N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    *Juan..." Shelia looked at him with teary eyes.


    Sensing her distress, Juan said, "What kind ofpensation do you want?"


    "The Mathis family''s losses should be paid back double, and from now on, you can''t cause them any more trouble."


    "Fine!" Juan agreed quickly, clearly for She''s sake.


    He couldn''t bear to see her suffer more.


    "Get the finance department to handle it now. I want to see the results today."


    "Do you have to be so aggressive?"


    "That''s how I''ve always been. This isn''t the first day you''ve known me."


    Juan was rendered speechless. In the end, he made a call to the finance department.


    Shelia shed tears, sobbing, "It''s all my fault. If I hadn''te to see you, Debra wouldn''t have found a reason to threaten you, and you wouldn''t have suffered these losses."


    Debra sneered at She''s act without saying anything.


    "It''s not your fault. Juanforted Shelia and shot a gold nce at Debra, implying it was Debra''s fault. A momentter, Debra received a message from Erica confirming that their crisis had been resolved. Satisfied, Debra said to Juan, Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Nichols. You guys go ahead and shop.


    I''ll head off."


    She casually turned to leave..


    Juan called after her, "Erica is just an outsider. You''ll regret this."


    "Let''s see who regrets it first," Debra said, ncing meaningfully at Shelia.


    Juan couldn''t decipher the meaning behind that look.


    Shelia continued to act frail and


    weepy.


    Debra left the mall and drove off in her car.
