Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 101
When Debra arrived at Erica's company, Erica was ecstatically jumping around, looking at the newly deposited sum."Debra! You're amazing! That jerk must be feeling miserable now, huh?"Erica hadn't expected Juan to compensate for such a large amount, but she would not reject it. Despite the minor uproar, this was a win for her."The compensation came through?" Debra asked.It had only been an hour, sooner than Erica had expected."I bet he used his personal account to transfer the money to us. There's no way it could arrive this fast otherwise. Juan must be worried about losing face," Erica replied.Seeing neither Marion nor Randy in the office, Debra couldn't help but ask, "Where are they? With something this big happening in the company, why aren't they here?""You know Marion. As soon as he heard about the trouble, he left and told me not to tell you. He probably knew early on that it was Juan's doing and went off to plan his revenge," Erica replied.Debra nodded thoughtfull

Juan had gone home early. Upon seeing Debra, Sophie greeted her eagerly, "Madam, how was the gathering today?"Puzzled, Debra glanced at Juan, who was lounging on the sofa in the living room, reading a newspaper.'So, Juan has made up a story.'Debra smiled, replying, "It was good.""You should have asked Mr. Nichols to pick you up. It's not safe at this hour," Sophie said."It's fine. He left his car to me," Debra replied.When she left the mall earlier, Debra had taken the car Juan had driven. Thinking of how Juan, who had a dedicated driver for outings, had to take a taxi back, she felt a sense of satisfaction."Sophie, there's nothing else for you. You can go home. Debra and I have some other matters tonight," Juan said.His words were meaningful.Sophie happily agreed, "Alright, I'll tidy up and go. Mrs. Nichols Sr. is waiting for me to clean up."With that, she started packing her things.After Sophie left, Debra scoffed, "You're quite good at lying. Doesn't your consc

Debra got out of the car, not having told Erica about the event and not expecting Juan to be so eager to have Shelia move in.Joe heard the sound, looking over in surprise. "Madam?"He wondered if Juan had done this just to upset Debra."Don't mind me. You can go on with your work," Debra said casually.But Joe was visibly nervous.The situation now felt like a battlefield."Debra, you're not upset, are you? We're going to be neighbors. I'll be counting on you for help," Shelia said with feigned politeness.Debra turned back and snorted, "Neighbors? What kind of neighbors?"Shelia said confidently, "I will be living here too, so..."Debra sneered and pointed to the building where Shelia would move in, then to the one where she and Erica were living."Did Juan not tell you about the price difference between these two buildings?"Shelia was surprised. "What?"Erica put her hand on Debra's shoulder and teasingly said, "Looks like Juan doesn't value you much. Your building is t

"Something's up?" Debra asked, taking her seat."Yeah.""Is it about me?""Well," Jordan faltered, "this morning, my brother mentioned some trouble with the Nichols family. It's insider info, and you probably don't know yet.""So, you came all the way to school just to gossip about this?"Jordan blushed a little, turning his head away. "Don't get me wrong. I just wanted to get some info from you.""I probably know less than you do," Debra said, dropping the teasing. "What exactly happened?""It's internal news. Some shady financial records leaked from the Nichols family, causing several funding chains to break. All cooperation with overseas institutions has been halted. Soon, they will face inquiries. That's a lot of money they're going to lose," Jordan revealed.The mention of overseas institutions made Debra think of Marion.He was the only person capable of doing such a thing."Do you know who did it?" Jordan tried to read Debra's expression.Raising an eyebrow, Debra rep

"See, you guys are my best friends. I messed up last time, so I invited you here to eat, hoping you can forgive me. It was a slip of the tongue. I'm sorry," Shelia said, oblivious to Debra's presence.Debra sat in the corner, quietly listening to Shelia's apology."My boyfriend bought me a house just across from the campus. It's boring to live alone. Why don't you move in with me? You guys are my best friends after all," Shelia said earnestly, holding their hands.Debra almost laughed out loud.'So, Juan was the boyfriend Shelia was talking about.'She understood now. If Shelia really wanted to apologize, she could have done it ages ago. In reality, she was just trying to show off the house Juan had bought for her. That was why she said these things at the most expensive restaurant in Arcane Academy."What are you staring at? Order something," Jordan said.Debra snapped out of her thoughts. "Get me a cup of tea. I suddenly crave it.""Huh?" Jordan was bewildered.Just then,

Carrie couldn't help but scoff, "Who wants to talk with you?""Carrie, I messed up, and I understand your anger. But I sincerely want to apologize to you. Will you forgive me?" Shelia said pitifully, tears streaming down her face.Wendy tugged at Carrie, who reluctantly sat back down."You both know the school revoked my scholarship. Life's been tough, and I can't always rely on my boyfriend. This meal will be paid for with my own money." Shelia bit her lip, looking deeply hurt.Wendy and Carrie had heard about Shelia losing her scholarship, so they softened a little."I'll do anything to get your forgiveness. Carrie, I know you've been through a lot lately. I'm willing to find the Inspection Team and confess. Just please don't ignore me."Carrie turned her head away, swayed by Shelia's words.After all, they had been best friends for three years. If not for Shelia falsely accusing her in front of the Inspection Team, their friendship wouldn't have soured like this."If you con

Erica couldn't help but say, "Marion has a good taste. This dress looks amazing on you."Debra smiled lightly at the compliment.Marion chimed in, "This banquet is not that important. Do you have any plans?"Debra gestured with a hushing motion. "It's a secret."The threshold for the Potter family's banquet was high. Those who attended were all wealthy entrepreneurs in Seamar City.Shelia wore a white dress, looking nervous in the car.She had accompanied Juan to some social events before, but they were trivial compared to this one. The Potter family's status was on par with Juan's.Shelia glanced sideways at Juan, and besides feeling nervous, she also felt joy and excitement. She couldn't believe she was accompanying Juan to such an occasion."Juan, do you really not want Debra to accompany you?" Shelia lowered her voice, showing some hesitation.The mention of Debra made Juan restless.In fact, he had called her, but she hadn't even answered."You don't want to come?" he a

Wendy suspiciously said, "Why didn't you mention the party when you left the dorm today? Usually, if your boyfriend takes you to a banquet, you'd be eager to let us know.""It happened suddenly, and you didn't tell me either," Shelia said with a forced smile. "How come you guys are here?""What, only your boyfriend can attend such occasions, but my parents can't?" Carrie sneered.Their family backgrounds far exceeded Shelia's.Shelia bit her lip. "That's not what I meant."Carrie pressed, "Well then, you've been wanting to introduce your boyfriend to us, right? Since we're all here, why not let us meet him?"Wendy echoed, "Yeah, isn't your boyfriend in business too? He looks like a bigshot. I can ask my parents to invest in his company."Shelia looked troubled. "My boyfriend never lets me get involved in his business.""Come on, your boyfriend sponsors your education, right? And he wants to send you abroad for studies. Every time he goes to a banquet, he takes you along. How co

"We're staying," replied the two partners in unison.Debra scanned the room. "And the rest of you? All staying?""Yes. No one's leaving," they quickly replied.A single feast couldn't beat steady meals. Juan's lower rates came with no long-term guarantees. Cutting ties with McKinney Group meant losing four partnerships at once. That was too costly.Debra crossed her arms. "Well then, mind telling me what Nichols Group promised to make you gang up on me?"Emmett stepped forward. "It was Mr. Jordan Potter and Mr. Nichols. They said they'd undercut your prices by 10%, with extra perks like priority partnerships and top-tier promotions."Debra nodded. "How generous! No wonder you flocked to them.""We were momentarily blinded by greed," replied the partners.Ben took a phone call and whispered, "Madam, Mr. Nichols is here."Debra's jaw tightened. "Is he the important person you mentioned in the earlier call?"Ben shook his head. "I'm not sure, but this morning, the front desk did

The partners exploded, "Are you sure about this?""Think twice. Without us, your fancy commercial street means nothing.""Yeah. When you go bankrupt, don't say we didn't warn you."Debra leaned back casually."We'll see. Ben, collect their penalty fees and escort them out.""Understood.""Oh, and no one leaves this room until they pay up."Ben blinked, not expecting her to be so ruthless. These partners had worked with them since the founding of the company. Cutting ties with them now spelled disaster."Are you sure, Mrs. Houston?""Maybe we can renegotiate." Two partners wavered.Debra smirked, knowing their vulturous nature all too well."Come on, you're the ones threatening to leave," she said, sweeping a gaze across the room. "Since Nichols Group's offering sweeter terms, I won't hold you back. Enjoy your windfall."Howard Avery glanced at Emmett. The latter puffed up. "Fine. We'll go."Debra gestured to the door. "Don't let it hit you on the way out."Emmett glare

Another shareholder chimed in, "Alexander has a point. We've been partners for a year. Are you really gonna bail over some gossip? Fine. You can leave after paying back every perk Mrs. Houston ever gave you."The room fell silent. Truth was, Debra had always been the fairest business partner they'd ever had.Emmett stepped forward. "It's not personal, Mrs. Houston. But Seamar City runs on rules. If we piss off Mr. Nichols, our businesses will suffer."Nods rippled through the group.Debra leaned back in her chair. "So, you think Juan's word carries more weight than mine?"The partners exchanged uneasy glances.Emmett scoffed, "Let's be real. Without Mr. Nichols, no one would've noticed you. Now you're remarried..."The room tensed at his brazenness. He continued, "Sure, Marion Houston's got your back. But a woman's still a woman. Without him, you'd drown here.""Oh?" Debra sneered. "Didn't expect you to think of me that way."She stood up and declared, "I'm the founder of the

Debra's car pulled up at the company entrance.Ben hurried over as soon as she stepped out. "Madam, you're finally here."Debra heard the commotion from down the hall. She frowned. "What's going on?""The shareholders and our partners are at each other's throats.""Over today's news?"Ben nodded. "The partners say the scandal's a public image disaster and demand answers. The shareholders are defending you. It's a warzone.""Let's settle this," Debra said, following him to the conference room.Inside, a shareholder jabbed a finger at a partner. "Mrs. Houston's integrity is rock-solid. You're buying into tabloid gossip? Wait till she gets here. She'll wipe the floor with you."The partner fired back, "We all know what kind of woman she is. A female CEO always seemed fishy. Now we see she climbed the ladder on her back."Debra strode in, silencing the room. Ben muttered, "They've been at this for half an hour."The partner who'd insulted her suddenly paled. "Mrs. Houston, we wer

Ivan instinctively tried to step back but stopped himself, remembering his mission to earn her trust.Debra noticed his subtle movement and raised an eyebrow. It looked like he was still reeling from the fear of getting hit.Marion came downstairs and approached them. Ivan quickly retreated."Saw that earlier," Marion murmured."Just messing with him," Debra said, chuckling. "He thought he could win me over by playing innocent. Scared stiff but trying not to show it. Hilarious.""Was it so fun?" Marion flicked her forehead. "Not worried I'd get jealous?""He's just a kid. Why would you?" She flashed her phone at him. "This is what you should worry about."Marion glanced at the viral news headline. His expression stayed neutral until he spotted Juan and Andrew's names."Give me a minute.""What're you doing?""Taking them down."He pulled out his phone, fingers flying across the screen.Debra bit back a laugh at his intensity. Just then, her phone rang. It was Ben."Let me

Barton pushed open the door and entered Andrew's bedroom. "Sir, Mrs. Houston has found all the ledgers.""I see." Andrew nodded.Barton hesitated. "Sir, the mastermind will act soon. Should we...""Life goes on. No need to borrow trouble," Andrew replied. "You can go now."After Barton left, the gauzy curtains fluttered in the breeze.Andrew gazed at the dark sky outside and whispered, "This time, I'm here with you."...The next morning, Debra grabbed her bag, ready to go to work.Ivan blocked her path. "Mrs. Houston, have you eaten breakfast?""Not hungry, thanks." She sidestepped him.He scrambled in front of her again. "Maybe a sandwich?"Debra forced a polite smile. "I'm really not hungry."Ivan blocked her a third time. "Coffee, maybe?"Debra dropped her bag. "Out with it. What's going on?"Ivan looked torn. Debra crossed her arms. "No? Then I'm leaving.""Wait." Ivan quickly took out his phone. "There's news. Today's headlines."Debra snatched the phone. The scre

Marion's gaze turned icy when he saw Drake blocking Debra's path.Drake glared. "I wasn't done talking.""'Finished now,' Marion said coolly.Drake turned to Debra. "I need to..."She waved dismissively. "I'm going to hit the sack. You should too."Debra walked off, and Marion closed the door for him.Drake lunged forward, but Kale held him back."Boss, your injuries..." "Screw the injuries. Let me at him."Marion opened the door, deadpan. "Don't like it closed? I'll leave it open.""Damn..." Kale clamped a hand over Drake's mouth.It was not wise to fight Marion there at the Potter Mansion. Besides, they hadn't gotten the Lowe Group back.Back in their room, Debra smirked at Marion. "Thought you weren't worried. Why eavesdrop?"Marion pulled her close. "How could I not worry?""Then why let me talk to him alone?" She tilted her head. "I know you're jealous."He pressed his lips together. "I don't want to restrain your freedom. It was just a talk. He couldn't steal

"What's the fuss?" Debra said.Drake hesitated. "I..." Outside, Erica and Randy shoved past Kale, ducking behind Marion.Kale initially tried to block them but retreated under Marion's icy glare.Inside, Drake noticed the door was slightly ajar. He scowled. "Hold on."Before Debra could react, he yanked the door open, exposing the three eavesdroppers.Debra raised an eyebrow. 'Really?'Erica cringed, looking at Randy. Randy pointed at Marion, and Marion blinked innocently.Debra smiled at them, slammed the door shut, and locked it.Randy gaped. "Did you hear that? She locked us out."Marion's jaw tightened."Let's go." Erica dragged Randy down the hall.Inside the room, Debra muttered, "We're alone now. Spit it out."Drake silently stared at her, and she shifted uncomfortably. "Do you have things to say or not?"Drake awkwardly cleared his throat. "Do you know Fermin likes you?"Debra barely flinched. "Yeah. Why?""You know?" Drake looked like his brain short-circuite

Everyone snapped to attention, flipping through the records. But the entries were pretty much the same—lists of expenses for rice, oil, flour, and other mundane supplies."Any maps or codes?" Randy scratched his head.Erica smacked the ledger. "Nothing. Just numbers and grocery lists."Debra traced a column of figures. "Right, numbers!"Erica was puzzled. "Numbers? How's that a treasure map?"Randy muttered, "Could it be that we've been thinking in the wrong direction? Maybe this isn't a treasure map after all?"Erica echoed, "Could it really be, like the elders said, just an account book that we've somehow turned into a myth?"As the group agonized, Drake finally snapped. "Debra, we need to talk.""Hm? About what?""Let's talk outside.""Can't say it here?""Outside." Drake stormed out. Debra sighed, turning to Marion. "Can I?"Erica and Randy glanced at him nervously.Marion nodded. "Go ahead."Erica and Randy gaped. 'No jealousy?' The second Debra left, Erica hiss
