Chapter 109
"Sir, Mrs. Nichols is here," whispered Joe to Juan.
Juan wrinkled his brow, having noticed Debra the moment she walked in. Marion was trailing behind, a sight that annoyed him.
Debra and Erica walked hand in hand, chatting and laughing. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Shelia and the others.
Her face bore a playful smile.
Jordan had waited inside for a long time. His eyes lit up the moment Debra approached. He abandoned his wine and strode swiftly towards her.
"What took you so long?" His tone held some impatience but more joy.
Debra said, "Allow me introduce my friend, Erica."
Jordan froze, while Erica teased, "Well well, the kid from the Potter family has grown up."
She moved as if to pinch Jordan's ear, but he quickly blocked her hand. "I'm not a kid anymore."
Debra hadn't expected they would know each other.
Erica explained, "When we were little, the Potter and Houston families had business dealings. I was the oldest, and Randy was my sidekick. Jordan was the youngest, and we often beat him."
Debra understood. Jordan blushed with embarrassment, eager to cover Erica's mouth. "That's nonsense."
Erica paid no mind to his protests.
Debra chatted and laughed with them. Watching from a distance, Juan felt stifled.
Joe couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you not going over?"
At least in public, Debra was still Juan's wife. It wouldn't look good if he didn't go over.
Juan said in a low voice, "Let's go over."
Carrie and Wendy had been observing Debra. Seeing important figures and even Jordan around her, they quickly sensed something amiss.
Wendy frowned. "Wasn't this woman rumored to be an escort? Why are there so many important figures around her?"Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"Yeah, one of the men seems to have chauffeured her in a luxury car before. The woman bickering with Jordan looks wealthy too. And Mr. Osborne is also there," Carrie said.
"What are you talking about? I bet she's just a socialite here to seduce men," Shelia chimed in.
Carrie laid her eyes on Shelia suspiciously. "But why is Jordan so fond of them and even welcoming them in person?"
Shelia spoke awkwardly. "As I said, it was just a rumor."
"A rumor?" Carrie, who used to believe Shelia unquestionably, now found her words contradictory.
After all, it was Shelia who initially claimed this unknown woman was her boyfriend's admirer.
Now Shelia had entirely changed her statement, which struck everyone as odd.
"Shelia, isn't that your boyfriend?" Wendy hinted.
They all saw Juan walking toward Debra.
Shelia's face and even her lips turned pale.
"I'm not feeling well. I have to go."
