After all, the person Tracy rejected wasn''t just anyone. It was Juan Nichols.


    No one else in Seamar City dared to defy him like this.


    In his office, Juan was reading the news with a sullen face.


    The topic of the Nichols Group CEO being rejected by the McKinney Group CEO was trending.


    Everyone wondered who was behind the suddenly prominent McKinney Group, daring enough to snub Juan publicly.


    "Sir, this news was leaked intentionally. I''ve already instructed ant investigation. We''ll have results soon," said Joe, noticing Juan''s grim expression.Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    "This is definitely linked to the McKinney Group," replied Juan.


    He had simply wanted to meet Tracy, but thetter had yed entirely out of turn, even turning this into a trending topic.


    Tracy was trying to ride on the Nichols Group''s reputation to boost the McKinney Group''s visibility.


    "Sir, the trending topic should be taken down before it affects thepany''s image."


    To everyone, the Nichols Group was the undisputed leader in Seamar City.


    But this trending topic might make people think the mysterious.


    McKinney Group was greater than the Nichols Group, which was not a desirable situation.


    "Take it down and throw a business banquet.


    "Should we invite Tracy?"


    "No, invite all business owners except him."


    Juan intended to show everyone who held absolute power in Seamar City.


    Businesses cooperated andpeted with each other for mutual progress. If the McKinney Group wanted to stand out, he would make sure they were isted.


    The sky darkened. In her office, Debra reclined in her chair, while Randy grew anxious.


    *Juan''s move is ruthless. All the business owners are invited, except us. He''s isting us!"


    "Not istion, but picking sides, Debra pointed out with a smile.


    She had already anticipated Juan''s tactics when she sent Randy to hype the earlier rejection.


    A leopard couldn''t change its spots, and Juan always carried himself with the airs of superiority.


    "Do you have a n?" Marion asked.


    "We''ll hold a banquet too."


    "No kidding. Even though we have the momentum, those business owners aren''t foolish. They won''t offend Juan for an uncertain future with you. They''d rather offend you now and suck up to youter when you''re sessful." "I know," Debra said calmly, sitting up. "So, I''m nning a masquerade ball with top secrecy. Attendees won''t know each other''s identities."


    She held up a badge in her hand.


    "I''ve had 200 badges made. Tomorrow, they''ll be sent to the top 200panies in our industry. There won''t be invitations, only the badges, which will be collected at the end of the party." "These badges aren''t valuable. Just give thern away," Randy suggested. Debra smiled, "They will be proven valuable."
