Goodbye Mr Ex I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 682

Debra's voice dropped to an icy calm. "I can tell that. I entrusted the company to you because I believed in you. Now, I find it in disarray. I need a reasonable explanation."

The elevator hummed to a stop, and the doors slid open to reveal the third floor. Debra's brow furrowed.

"Why are we stopping here?"

"Madam, it's not convenient to talk here. Let's head to my office first."

The apprehension in Ben's expression sent a chill down Debra's spine. While no one was around, he added, "Your office has been occupied by the new GM."

Debra let out a laugh, sharp and frustrated. "New GM? Who authorized a new GM? I'm the owner of this company. Nothing happens here without my say-so."

Ben sighed heavily. "It was Mr. Nichols."

"Juan?"

"Yes, Madam."

"And where does he get the authority?"

"While you were away, the company came under attack from the Nichols Group. At first, Michael was caught in a scandal and couldn't extricate himself. Then, he got into a fight and was arrested. He's still being held at the police station. With you gone and Mr. Houston and Mr. Osborne rushing to the island, I was left to run the company alone. That's when the Nichols Group launched a major offensive, buying up our shares from scattered investors."

Debra's face darkened like a storm cloud. "How many shares have they taken?"

"20 percent."

"That seems most likely. Plus, we hinted to Juan before that Michael was the real boss behind the McKinney Group. Then, while you were away in Flesta, Juan came to the company to introduce the new GM."

Debra took a deep breath, struggling to keep her emotions in check.

"Who is this new GM?"

"It's Shelia."

When she heard the name, whatever hope she had left died a quiet death. It seemed nothing had changed.

Just like in her previous life, Juan would never fall in love. Everything he did was just a calculated move in his larger game for power and control.
