The next day, Debra was chauffeured back to Potter Entertainment in Marion''s car.


    The rumor mill among the trainees was already churning, the hot topic being Debra''s dramatic exit with Juan and the subsequent uproar caused by Mrs. Nichols at the mall. "Some people just don''t know their ce. They think they can waltz back into high society just because they want to."


    "Did you see the car that dropped her off today? She''s got some serious backers."


    "After going broke, she has no other options."


    Debra was unfazed by the whispers.


    Eve sauntered up to her and scoffed, "Mr. Nichols''s investment is probably going south. What good is it to stubbornly refuse to divorce, Debra? In the end, you won''t get anything." Debra raised an eyebrow. "What are you implying?"


    Eve smirked, "Stop pretending. We all know the Frazier family is broke. You''re desperate to get back with Mr. Nichols, but with your current status, it''s impossible. As long as Mrs. Nichols Sr. doesn''t agree, you''re done for."Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    The memory of her father groveling before Juan the day before still stung. Debra was treated with respect just because she held the title of Mrs. Nichols. The injustice of it all gnawed at Eve.


    Another trainee, emboldened by Eve''s words, chipped in, "Yeah, she kept insisting on divorcing Mr. Nichols before. And now, even after all this time, there''s no divorce. It''s clear to everyone that the divorce was just a tactic to force Mr. Nichols to abandon that pregnant mistress."


    "It''s a shame, really," a third trainee added. "Mr. Nichols has all kinds of women around him. I heard Mrs. Nichols Sr. has already picked Miss Vargas as the next Mrs. Nichols. It''s better to get the divorce over with. Maybe Mr. Nichols will pity you and give you some money."


    They all looked at Debra with scorn, their eyes gleaming with schadenfreude.


    "That''s right," Debra said calmly. "I also hope to get a divorce soon."


    With that, she turned and went to practice new moves. Her nonchnce only served


    to infuriate Eve and her cronies further.


    "Stop pretending. You clearly don''t want a divorce but are acting all high and mighty." "Forget her. Without that title, she''s nothing."


    "Let''s just wait and see Miss Vargas be the next Mrs. Nichols and watch Debra cry."


    Debra dismissed their ridicule. She knew Melody too well.


    Melody was picky and wanted someone from a prestigious family. The Vargas was too small-time. They might be used asionally but would never be made official. Hannah opened the door, her voice brisk and businesslike. "Mr. Odom is here for a visit. Everyonees out."


    A ripple of excitement ran through the room. "Mr. Odom? The one from Booton?"


    Edgar''s reputation as a devoted romantic for Jaded had earned him many female fans, and the trainees were eager to see this legendary CEO in person.


    Hannah nodded, her expression neutral. "Who else could it be? You only get one chance, so everyone, get dressed ande out."


    The practice room immediately buzzed with excitement.
