Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1028

Andrew skipped pleasantries and asked directly, "For what business did Mrs. Nichols Sr. call you over to Seamar City?"

"To help her take control of the Nichols family, of course," Theda replied. "She doesn't want it to fall into the hands of outsiders."

Her smile resembled Debra's but was sharper. "Who will you help, Debra or me?"

"I invited you here," Andrew said coolly. "So, you know the answer."

"You treat her so well," Theda murmured. "So well it almost makes me jealous."

Her smile faded, and her tone turned icy. "But I won't let go of what I want. The Nichols Group is mine."

She placed a small bottle of pills on the desk and added, "These should help with your condition. See you."

As she exited the study, Barton stepped forward, his face clouded with concern. "Sir, I'm afraid Ms. Buchan won't give up easily."

"That's her," Andrew replied. "But Debra isn't a pushover either. Let's see which of them will laugh the last."

Barton hesitated. "I fear Mrs. Houston has little chance against Ms. Buchan."

Theda was no ordinary competitor. At 17, she had single-handedly turned her family's fortune around.

Debra, on the other hand, had allies. She faced challenges with sincerity toward her friends and ruthlessness toward her enemies.

If they went head-to-head, Theda might not come out on top.

Downstairs, Theda descended the steps, her gaze brushing over Erica.

Erica caught a hint of animosity in her smile, though it vanished just as quickly.

"Mrs. Houston," Theda started, "my conversation with Andrew didn't go so well today. But I look forward to seeing you again at the shareholders' meeting of the Nichols Group."
