Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 430

Debra's words were a gauntlet thrown, a challenge only she and Edgar understood.

Edgar's smile faded like the setting sun.

Ashley whispered her ridicule. "Has Debra lost her marbles? Does she really think her dance is worth five billion?"

"Who does she think she is? She is done for," echoed another trainee.

Their eyes gleamed with anticipation of Debra's imminent downfall.

Edgar waved a dismissive hand. "I'm not in the mood today. Since you sprained your ankle, let's forget about it."

Henry mopped the sweat from his brow, relief flooding through him. He couldn't afford to offend Debra with Juan backing her, nor could he cross Edgar, the head of the Odom family.

Eve, ever the opportunist, stepped forward. "Mr. Odom, if Debra won't dance, I will. I'm a much better dancer than her."

But Edgar didn't even spare her a glance. Instead, he stood up and said, "Let's wrap this up. I hear you have physical training sessions in the afternoon."

"Yes, but the intense training is usually in the morning," replied Henry.

"Then let's simulate the morning training here. I'll be observing," said Edgar.

The trainees groaned inwardly.

For physical training, they were supposed to be bare-faced, but there was no time to remove their makeup now.

Debra, the only one without makeup, watched the others squirm.

Edgar clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention. "Let's start with 30 laps."

Henry blanched. "30 laps?"

Even the male trainees looked daunted. Hannah stepped forward, trying to explain, "They already had intense training this morning. 30 laps now might be too much."

Edgar was unmoved. "If they can't handle this, how will they cope with the challenges of debuting?"

He sat down and added, "I'll be watching. I suppose they can complete 30 laps in an hour if you work hard enough."

30 laps equaled over ten thousand meters. Edgar was clearly out for blood.

Henry steeled himself, turning to the trainees. "You heard the man. Stop dawdling and start running."
