The restaurant area of the Emerald Hotel was exclusively reserved by Juan. The lighting was dim, and retro music yed softly in the background. The chef meticulously arranged the dishes, the presentation creating a somewhat ambiguous mood. Debra nced 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 rtionship with Tracy? Juan suddenly asked.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Debra frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?"


    Juan replied, "Tracy opposed the Nichols Group for your sake. Before you had the ident, you had the Frazier Group merge with hispany. Your rtionship 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 ss. "I just wonder what kind of rtionship you think we have-whether it''s something in bed or..."


    Juan''sposure 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 herck 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 ss 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 pped 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 nces towards the


    restaurant.


    Juan immediately pulled her hand away from Debra. "Have you lost your mind? How dare youe here and make a scene?"


    Shelia''s eyes zed with fury. "If you dare to be with Debra here, why shouldn''t Ie? 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?"
