Debra chimed in, "Marion owes you a lot of money?"All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Yeah. From the first time he met you, he..." Randy replied.


    Erica swiftly stepped on his foot, silencing him mid-sentence. Randy grunted and corrected himself. "Well, it''s nothing. Marion''s got plenty of money. It''s just that he hasn''t finished handling it yet."


    Erica elbowed him and spluttered, "What do you mean he hasn''t finished handling it? Can you speak clearly?"


    Randy mmed up. Erica sat down next to Debra, her voice softening.


    "That is just man-to-man stuff. Don''t worry about it. I''m sure he''ll give you everything he has to win you over."


    Debra blushed. "What are you talking about?"


    "Er, it''s just a metaphor," Erica chuckled, hugging her. "Anything, you''re the best woman in my mind."


    Debra fell silent, her mind wandering. She never wanted a fortune. After so many betrayals and schemes in her past and present lives, she only hoped to find her destined partner and live a peaceful life together. Without betrayal, conspiracy, or deceit, they would just live an ordinary life.


    As night fell, the club was bathed in dim lights and shadows. In a private room, Edgar, dressed in a ck shirt that was slightly open, swirled a ss of whiskey in his hand. His deep features were entuated by the room''s soft lighting, and a light smile yed on his lips.


    "Mr. Nichols," Edgar began, his eyebrow raised, "Marion''s men visited me during the day, and now you''re here. Ms. Frazier really is exceptional to attract two big shots like you."


    Juan, sitting across from Edgar,


    responded coldly, "I don''t care what Marion''s people told you, but Debra is my wife. There are consequences for hurting her."


    The door to the room burst open, and a group of ck-d bodyguards stormed in, wielding stun sticks.


    Edgar stared at Juan, who calmly ced his drink on the table and said, "Marion is not the only person who keeps thugs."


    "Mr. Nichols, you are full of


    surprises," Edgar responded,


    ncing at the bodyguards. "I''m just


    here to find my fiancée, but since


    you''ve got a wife and have caused Jade so much pain, I''ll settle that score with you."


    "Bring it


    before


    I''m always ready. But re that, I need to settle with you for hurting Debra,"


    said, unperturbed. Conte


    Just as the bodyguards advanced, Edgar''s men rushed into the room.


    Edgar snorted, "Do you think I came all alone?"


    Juan was undeterred. "So what? None of you will leave today."


    The standoff quickly turned into a fierce fight. The room was instantly thrown into chaos.


    Edgar''s eyes grew colder. "It seems you don''t take me seriously."


    Juan sneered, "You''re wrong. The entire Odom family is nothing to me."


    Edgar''s eyes narrowed, his grip tightening on his ss.


    Juan turned to Joe and ordered, "Bring the person who hurt Debra earlier today."
