After having dinner at the ir family''s house, Juan left and got into his car.


    Joe said, "Marion has booked the ce."


    "Then let''s go," Juan replied, his eyes gleaming with a cold determination.


    He had been wanting to have a serious talk with Marion, and tonight seemed like the perfect opportunity.


    The car pulled up to the nightclub. Marion had rented out the entire ce.


    The manager, recognizing Juan, immediately approached him with a fawning smile and led him to the most luxurious private room at the back. The hallway was lined with Marion''s men, their presence a clear disy of power.


    Joe muttered, "What does Marion want? Is he trying to show off?"


    Juan remained silent. For years, Seamar City had been his territory, but with Caleb''s retirement and Marion''s rise, the dynamics had shifted.


    The city was now a formidable three-way standoff between Juan, Marion, and the elusive Tracy, who never appeared in public.


    In the private room, Marion sat on the couch, a defiant smile ying on his lips.


    "Mr. Nichols, please sit."


    Juan raised an eyebrow. This is my turf. I should be the one hosting you here."


    Marion''s smile faded, his tone turning cold. "This was your territory yesterday. But from now on, it''s mine." He pushed a stack of papers across the table toward Juan. "I don''t like beating around the bush. Since you''ve made your choice, sign the divorce agreement. Juan looked at the papers and saw Debra''s signature on them.


    He looked away and said, "What if I refuse? What will you do about it?"


    Marion''s tone was calm, but the threat underlying his words was unmistakable. "I have my ways to make. you sign."


    Juan knew Marion''s reputation. Having made a name for himself overseas, Marion was not someone to be underestimated. With him around, Juan knew that the Nichols family would face significant challenges in the future.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    Marion Jeaned forward, his voice growing colder. "You must know your stubbornness is harming Debra. You know all the rumors she''s been subjected to and how your grandmother is targeting her. Yet you just stand by and watch."


    His words struck a nerve, and Juan frowned. "Even if I''m stubborn and selfish, I did things for her. What about you? Where were you when she was dealing with all this?"


    "Debra isn''t a woman who needs rescuing. She has her ns, and I''m sure she won''t be harmed. Ironically, all the suffering she''s going through is because of you." Marion stood up, his voice firm. "I won''t


    show any mercy to anyone who harms Debra. Today, either you sign it or..."


    As if on cue, several bodyguards in ck began to close in on Juan.


    Joe stepped forward. "What, do you think this is overseas? Do you think Mr. Nichols is someone you can threaten?"
