Debra''s voice was steady, but her eyes held a storm as she asked, "So, my office is currently being used by Shelia, right?" Ben shifted ufortably, avoiding her gaze. "Yes."


    He understood Debra had been nning to step away from the Nichols Group, but Juan''s betrayal had changed everything. "Where is she now?"


    "Upstairs. The employees are all opportunists, but please don''t get angry, madam. Right now, the most important thing is figuring out how to remove the Nichols family from the equation, and then there''s Michael..."


    "I''ll get him out. And how is the situation with the Odom family?"


    "Edgar still thinks he can take down Oscar. He''s been investing heavily since this morning. But don''t worry; our PR team has been working nonstop. We prepared ahead of time, so the negative news about Oscar is being minimized."


    "I see. I''ll leave this to you for now. Officially, I''m still in a resigned status, so don''t let anything slip."


    "Understood."Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    nning to leave, Debra opened the door and came face-to-face with Shelia.


    The change in Shelia was striking. Gone was the simple girl Debra once knew, reced by a woman draped in a high-end white dress and high heels. Her once soft and pure aura had been polished into the sophisticated demeanor of a true socialite. Shelia smiled, her eyes gleaming with a mix of triumph and malice. "They told me you were in Ben''s office. I thought they were joking, but here you are."


    Debra raised an eyebrow. "Miss Miles?"


    Shelia''s smile faded a little, her voice taking on a sharper edge. "That


    name feels so distant now. If you


    hadn''t mentioned it, I might have et


    forgotten it. But since this is the McKinney Group, I think you should call me Ms. ir from now on."


    Debra was taken aback by Shelia''s sudden sharpness but responded with a calm smile, "I''m not sure how long you will stay in that position."


    "Not your concern," Shelia snorted, pulling a document from her bag and holding it out to Debra. "I''m here because of this."


    Debra nced at the file in Shelia''s hand, her brow furrowing slightly.


    Shelia added, "I came over just to deliver this. I presume you need it badly."


    Debra took the document, and as she opened it, the first words that greeted her were ''Divorce Agreement''.


    The stamp on the agreement had


    already been ced, and next to it was a finalized divorce certificate. This was what Debra had been waiting for, but now that it was here, all she felt was a profound sense of betrayal.


    Juan wanted both his freedom and his interests.


    "Thanks," Debra said, walking past Shelia.


    Shelia smirked, relishing her role as the victor. She turned to Ben, raising her voice deliberately for Debra to hear. "Ben, I know you''ve been assigned to work with Ms. Frazier for some time now. But just


    Sove


    remember who''s sitting in the GM''s seat and who''s signing your paycheck now."
