Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1067

As Erica, Randy, Marion, and Debra entered the banquet hall, they immediately drew everyone's attention. Many people approached them to say hello.

Liza tugged at Garland's arm, looking displeased. "These people are shallow. Doesn't anyone recognize us?"

As the daughter of the Eaton family, she was usually surrounded by flattering people. But in Seamar City, she was reduced to second fiddle.

"Calm down. At our place, Debra was treated the same way. It's just home-court advantage," Garland soothed her.

Liza pouted. "True. But I should get the respect I deserve. Just open a branch here and make it better than the McKinney Group."

Marion glanced at her hand. "I don't shake hands."

Unfazed, Theda turned to Debra. "Mrs. Houston, you wouldn't refuse, would you?"

Debra shook her hand. "Ms. Buchan, nice to meet you."

"What's wrong?" Erica asked, noticing her distraction.

Debra snapped back. "Don't you think everything's going too smoothly?"

"What do you mean?"

"I feel like it's been too easy to make the Buchan Group's pay up."

Theda should know the consequences of exploiting her employees. Maybe it was just her strategy, or she didn't care about those sky-high penalties.

Erica shrugged. "Don't overthink it. Theda is just a rich girl. How would she know what it's like for workers? Buchan Entertainment is going down, and everything is going as we planned."
