"I''ll give you a ride," Marion offered.


    Debra agreed. Marion hurried downstairs to get his car, and she followed closely.


    She quickened her pace after leaving McKinney Group. However, as she descended the stairs, her foot slipped, causing her to fall backwards. Instinctively, she closed her eyes, expecting to hit the ground hard, but in the next instant, she found herself in someone''s arms. She opened her eyes to see Marion''s smiling face.


    In a low voice, he said, "Take it easy. You won''t bete."


    Debra blushed and quickly got into the car.


    Marion took the driver''s seat, a faint smile on his face.


    "Fasten your seatbelt and hold on tight," he said.


    Before Debra could fully grasp his words, he hit the gas pedal.


    If she hadn''t held on, she felt like she might have beenunched out. Not far from the apartment building, Debra saw Joe''s car just arriving.


    Unable to enter the gatedmunity without a key card, Joe could only wait outside.


    Debra picked up her bag. "I''m gonna head off."

    "Mr. Nichols is just concerned for your safety."


    "Is he worried I''ll cuckold him?"


    It made sense. His reputation would be damaged if his unfavored wife cuckolded him.


    Joe wanted to exin, but Debra was reluctant to hear it. He had to hold back his words.


    What Debra said was partly true, but Juan''s concern for her was genuine.


    Arriving at their destination, Debra pushed open the gate.


    Sophie came up to greet her warmly. "Madam, have you been enjoying yourself these past few months?"


    "It''s been fine," Debra replied casually. "When is Melodying over?"


    "Mrs. Nichols Sr.?" Sophie was puzzled. "She didn''t mentioning over."

    She had been deceived.


    Debra put down her bag and said to Sophie, "You can go upstairs for a while."


    "Yes, Madam."


    She walked up to Juan, who remained silent. She sat opposite him and said, "You tricked me. What''s it about? Spill it."


    "Who did you sell that sewagend to?"


    Debra found it amusing. "Didn''t you investigate it?"


    Since news of the sewage area''s impending greening had surfaced, Juan had only asked her about it once and hadn''t mentioned it again.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    She didn''t believe he would easily let go of such a lucrative opportunity. Met with her silence, he should have investigated it secretly.
