Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1069

The crowd gasped in shock.

"What is he doing? Didn't he sign a contract with Debra?" Randy fumed.

Debra frowned, and Erica demanded, "You better explain yourself. Didn't you..."

"Miss Mathis, some things can't be said openly, like when the previous CEO of the Mathis Group stepped down. Would you like to explain that?" said Juan nonchalantly.

Seeing that his words rattled Erica, he continued, "If you don't want to talk about it, the Nichols family matters are none of your business."

Debra's keen eyes caught a change of expressions from both Erica and Randy. Apparently, Juan was forcing them to back up.

Liza whispered to Garland, "Why does the atmosphere feel so off?"

"Don't know, but Seamar City's a mess," he replied.

Earlier, Juan had promised to give all his shares to Debra, but in just a few days, he had changed his mind.

Garland quietly stepped into the corner.

Meanwhile, Erica took a step back and staggered. Randy quickly caught her and said to Marion and Debra, "She's not feeling well. I'll take her home."

"We'll leave too," replied Debra.

There was no point in staying there any longer.

"Juan and you planned this, didn't you?"

"Yeah. I don't bring a knife to a gunfight."

"So, are you here to make a show of force?"

"Not at all," Theda chuckled. "I just heard that you care deeply about the people around you. Since you've said that the Nichols Group doesn't mean much to you, why not just tear up the transfer papers? It would be easier for me to take over Juan's shares, and it would save your friends from any harm. Surely, you wouldn't want to hurt those close to you over something you don't even need, would you?"

Her eyes glinted, as if mocking Debra's decision to give up such a big company for some so-called friends.

Debra remained composed. "So, you think you've won?"
