Goodbye Mr Ex I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 551

Debra remained silent, which made Edgar believe his threats were starting to take effect.

His tone softened, as if offering her a lifeline. "Think about it before you give any answer."

He raised his glass of wine, prepared to take a sip, when Debra broke the silence.

"You won't dare."

Edgar paused mid-motion, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

"What did you just say?"

His gaze grew darker, a silent promise of consequences lingering in the air, but Debra didn't waver.

"I said, you won't dare," she repeated, tilting her head slightly. "Otherwise, you would've made your move already instead of negotiating with me here. If you make a move, it won't just be the McKinney Group you're fighting."

"Is that so?"

"I'm one of the McKinney Group's shareholders and, as you know, the legal wife of Juan. Opposing me means opposing the Nichols family. But that's just the beginning," Debra continued, her voice steady and measured. "The McKinney Group's biggest strategic partner is the Potter Group. I have ties with Marion, and he's a key player there. Not to mention, the Houston family is closely linked with the Osborne family. Oh, and the Mathis family? They're Marion's relatives. So, by targeting me, you're picking a fight with every major family in Seamar City."

Edgar's grip on his wine glass tightened, his knuckles turning white.

Debra chuckled, her tone light but loaded with meaning. "Mr. Odom, this isn't your city; your usual tactics won't work here. And to be honest, all this effort to take down someone who isn't even a threat to you? It's not only a waste of time, but it could also come back to bite you."
