"Sorry, outsiders need ID confirmation and the homeowner's permission to enter," the security guard insisted, unmoved by their pleas.Carrie retorted, "I've never heard of such a thing. I told you she's my friend from school!""Sorry, please have the homeowner call us to verify," the guard said impatiently.The residents here were either wealthy or powerful, and even the guards acted superior.Carrie was frustrated and had to leave empty-handed.On their way back, Wendy finally voiced her suspicion, "Who is that woman really? The residents here aren't ordinary. Is she really a call girl?""Wendy, what are you implying? Can she be a rich lady? Come on, no rich ladies steal others' boyfriends," Carrie scoffed.Wendy fell silent at Carrie's response.Shelia interjected, "Since we found nothing today, let's just go back.""Yeah, that's all we can do." Carrie sighed.They failed to find any leads.High in the apartment building, Debra watched the trio leave.The security guard c

Shelia stood at the classroom door in a white dress, seemingly waiting for someone.After yesterday's incident, Debra had no intention of interacting with Shelia. She pretended not to see and headed towards the classroom."Debra!" Shelia called out.Debra stopped in her tracks, looking coldly at Shelia. "Anything?"Shelia bit her lip and looked hesitant."Debra, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday," Shelia said with her head down. "I didn't expect Carrie to say those things to you. They misunderstood you.""And you?" Debra looked at Shelia with a half-smile, as if she could read Shelia's mind.Shelia shook her head to deny any involvement. "No, not me! How could I think of you like that? I was trying to stop them the whole time and explain."Watching Shelia act so earnestly, Debra smiled in amusement.She was curious to hear what Shelia would say next.As Debra remained silent, Shelia suddenly grabbed Debra's hands with a distressed look. "You don't blame me, right?""Wh

Seeing the suspicion in Wendy's eyes, Shelia stiffened but quickly put on a look of grievance. "How could I ever lie to you? Why are you suddenly asking me this?"Touched by it, Wendy softened her tone. "I was just asking. Don't take it to heart."Seeing Shelia on the verge of tears, Wendy held her hand and said, "The three of us are good friends. You must never lie to us.""Of course, I would never lie to you." Shelia nodded."Let's go to class," Wendy said, leading her upstairs.From behind, Shelia stared cautiously at Wendy's back.No matter what, she couldn't let Wendy and Carrie find out about her lie before graduation. Otherwise, her school days would be over.Upstairs, there was a crowd gathered at the classroom door. Carrie was also there, but she couldn't push her way through due to her small stature."What's going on?" Wendy asked, stepping forward.Carrie gossiped, "I heard the inspection team from the Ministry of Education is here, and everyone is watching.""Insp

Shelia wondered what went wrong with Carrie and Wendy."If you don't want to leave, I will," she said, turning to leave.Just then, a student at the door called out, "Shelia! They are looking for you."Shelia's heart skipped a beat.A member of the inspection team came out and pointed at Shelia. "You, stop there."Shelia stiffened and looked back warily. "M-Me?""Are you from Dorm #317?"Shelia nodded, puzzled by the question."Is Carrie your dorm mate?""Yes, she is." Shelia instinctively glanced at Carrie, who was standing not far away.Carrie froze, and a staff member looked at her. "Carrie Cohen?"Carrie stiffly nodded.The staff member glanced down at the anonymous report in his hand. "Someone reported that you fabricated false information and circulated it on campus, severely affecting the atmosphere and infringing upon a female student's reputation."He then presented a flyer with doctored photos to Carrie. "Did you do this?"Carrie was dumbfounded and hurriedly de
Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right Chapter 72
"Who did this?" Debra wondered aloud.If anyone was to be targeted, it should've been Shelia, yet Carrie ended up taking the fall. Despite the uproar, Shelia had emerged unscathed.Seeing Randy pass by with a plate, Debra grabbed his sleeve. "Wait!"His mouth full, Randy turned and mumbled, "What's up?""Did you do it?" Debra asked."Do what?" Randy was puzzled."The inspection team," Debra hinted.Randy pondered. "It's probably Marion.""Would Marion bother with this?"Debra recalled the encounter with Shelia and the others earlier.Maybe it was Marion, after all.But another question surfaced, distracting Debra. "Are you so broke that you're eating here?"This cafeteria didn't seem like Randy's usual spot."Saving where I can," Randy replied tersely.No kidding. Marion had been throwing around billions and keeping the lights on in the entire office building all night. He had splurged on houses and lavish renovations, now planning to build a commercial street.In the la

Debra nodded. That was what Shelia had said when kneeling before her."When did she have a boyfriend?" Randy asked."How should I know?" Debra shrugged."She has a boyfriend and still clings to Juan. What a woman!" Randy snorted with disdain."She was just saying that for show. I don't believe she would date anyone other than Juan."Debra set down her fork and knife. "I'm done. Enjoy your meal."She stood up to leave. Jordan pushed his plate aside, saying, "I'm done too."Randy mumbled with a mouthful of food, "I'll be done in a bit!"In the evening, Shelia stared at her recent pop quiz results in her dorm, her heart heavy. She had always been a consistent top performer, but this time, her grades had plummeted.Her roommates exclaimed in astonishment, "Shelia, why are you ranking 9th this time? You've always been first. This drop is drastic!"Shelia folded up the report card, forcing a smile. "I wasn't feeling well during the test, so I didn't do so well. It's okay, just a

Shelia wanted to justify herself, but Juan added, "You're talented, but that doesn't mean you can slack off in your studies.""I'm sorry, I..."Tears welled up in Shelia's eyes, but Juan wasn't going to soften his stance again."You know the rules at Arcane Academy. If your grades continue to decline like this, and you don't make it to the top ten in the next exam, you'll lose your scholarship and have to pay your tuition in full."Shelia knew this rule, but she never expected to hear it from Juan's mouth.She stared at him in shock, unable to respond for a moment.Juan's message was clear. If her grades kept dropping, he wouldn't sponsor her anymore or help her stay at Arcane Academy. All expenses would be covered by herself."Mr. Nichols, I'm sorry. It won't happen again, I promise," Shelia pleaded.Currently, all her expenses at Arcane Academy were covered by Juan, who also gave her ten thousand dollars for allowances each month. She didn't need to work to support herself, f

"Undoubtedly, he suspects you of having an affair. Such a petty guy is not worth it."Erica wiped her mouth and said, "Just dump him and marry someone else.""Someone else?" Debra said."I think my cousin is not bad. Why don't you two give it a try?" Erica replied frankly.Debra almost spat out her bubble tea. "It won't work out.""Why not? Isn't Marion cute? He's way better than Juan!""I didn't say he's not cute.""In terms of money and power, Juan and he are evenly matched!""These don't matter." Debra shook her head. "Feelings aren't something you force.""Yikes, no hope for Marion!" Erica lamented and asked. "So, how do you feel about him? Don't you like him?""Not exactly liking. I think he is nice."Erica nodded. That meant Marion still had a chance.In her pocket, the screen of her phone flashed. Marion had been listening from the other end of the phone.Marion hung up the phone and furrowed his brow.Eating beside him, Randy asked, "Why the long face? What did Er

"We're staying," replied the two partners in unison.Debra scanned the room. "And the rest of you? All staying?""Yes. No one's leaving," they quickly replied.A single feast couldn't beat steady meals. Juan's lower rates came with no long-term guarantees. Cutting ties with McKinney Group meant losing four partnerships at once. That was too costly.Debra crossed her arms. "Well then, mind telling me what Nichols Group promised to make you gang up on me?"Emmett stepped forward. "It was Mr. Jordan Potter and Mr. Nichols. They said they'd undercut your prices by 10%, with extra perks like priority partnerships and top-tier promotions."Debra nodded. "How generous! No wonder you flocked to them.""We were momentarily blinded by greed," replied the partners.Ben took a phone call and whispered, "Madam, Mr. Nichols is here."Debra's jaw tightened. "Is he the important person you mentioned in the earlier call?"Ben shook his head. "I'm not sure, but this morning, the front desk did

The partners exploded, "Are you sure about this?""Think twice. Without us, your fancy commercial street means nothing.""Yeah. When you go bankrupt, don't say we didn't warn you."Debra leaned back casually."We'll see. Ben, collect their penalty fees and escort them out.""Understood.""Oh, and no one leaves this room until they pay up."Ben blinked, not expecting her to be so ruthless. These partners had worked with them since the founding of the company. Cutting ties with them now spelled disaster."Are you sure, Mrs. Houston?""Maybe we can renegotiate." Two partners wavered.Debra smirked, knowing their vulturous nature all too well."Come on, you're the ones threatening to leave," she said, sweeping a gaze across the room. "Since Nichols Group's offering sweeter terms, I won't hold you back. Enjoy your windfall."Howard Avery glanced at Emmett. The latter puffed up. "Fine. We'll go."Debra gestured to the door. "Don't let it hit you on the way out."Emmett glare

Another shareholder chimed in, "Alexander has a point. We've been partners for a year. Are you really gonna bail over some gossip? Fine. You can leave after paying back every perk Mrs. Houston ever gave you."The room fell silent. Truth was, Debra had always been the fairest business partner they'd ever had.Emmett stepped forward. "It's not personal, Mrs. Houston. But Seamar City runs on rules. If we piss off Mr. Nichols, our businesses will suffer."Nods rippled through the group.Debra leaned back in her chair. "So, you think Juan's word carries more weight than mine?"The partners exchanged uneasy glances.Emmett scoffed, "Let's be real. Without Mr. Nichols, no one would've noticed you. Now you're remarried..."The room tensed at his brazenness. He continued, "Sure, Marion Houston's got your back. But a woman's still a woman. Without him, you'd drown here.""Oh?" Debra sneered. "Didn't expect you to think of me that way."She stood up and declared, "I'm the founder of the

Debra's car pulled up at the company entrance.Ben hurried over as soon as she stepped out. "Madam, you're finally here."Debra heard the commotion from down the hall. She frowned. "What's going on?""The shareholders and our partners are at each other's throats.""Over today's news?"Ben nodded. "The partners say the scandal's a public image disaster and demand answers. The shareholders are defending you. It's a warzone.""Let's settle this," Debra said, following him to the conference room.Inside, a shareholder jabbed a finger at a partner. "Mrs. Houston's integrity is rock-solid. You're buying into tabloid gossip? Wait till she gets here. She'll wipe the floor with you."The partner fired back, "We all know what kind of woman she is. A female CEO always seemed fishy. Now we see she climbed the ladder on her back."Debra strode in, silencing the room. Ben muttered, "They've been at this for half an hour."The partner who'd insulted her suddenly paled. "Mrs. Houston, we wer

Ivan instinctively tried to step back but stopped himself, remembering his mission to earn her trust.Debra noticed his subtle movement and raised an eyebrow. It looked like he was still reeling from the fear of getting hit.Marion came downstairs and approached them. Ivan quickly retreated."Saw that earlier," Marion murmured."Just messing with him," Debra said, chuckling. "He thought he could win me over by playing innocent. Scared stiff but trying not to show it. Hilarious.""Was it so fun?" Marion flicked her forehead. "Not worried I'd get jealous?""He's just a kid. Why would you?" She flashed her phone at him. "This is what you should worry about."Marion glanced at the viral news headline. His expression stayed neutral until he spotted Juan and Andrew's names."Give me a minute.""What're you doing?""Taking them down."He pulled out his phone, fingers flying across the screen.Debra bit back a laugh at his intensity. Just then, her phone rang. It was Ben."Let me

Barton pushed open the door and entered Andrew's bedroom. "Sir, Mrs. Houston has found all the ledgers.""I see." Andrew nodded.Barton hesitated. "Sir, the mastermind will act soon. Should we...""Life goes on. No need to borrow trouble," Andrew replied. "You can go now."After Barton left, the gauzy curtains fluttered in the breeze.Andrew gazed at the dark sky outside and whispered, "This time, I'm here with you."...The next morning, Debra grabbed her bag, ready to go to work.Ivan blocked her path. "Mrs. Houston, have you eaten breakfast?""Not hungry, thanks." She sidestepped him.He scrambled in front of her again. "Maybe a sandwich?"Debra forced a polite smile. "I'm really not hungry."Ivan blocked her a third time. "Coffee, maybe?"Debra dropped her bag. "Out with it. What's going on?"Ivan looked torn. Debra crossed her arms. "No? Then I'm leaving.""Wait." Ivan quickly took out his phone. "There's news. Today's headlines."Debra snatched the phone. The scre

Marion's gaze turned icy when he saw Drake blocking Debra's path.Drake glared. "I wasn't done talking.""'Finished now,' Marion said coolly.Drake turned to Debra. "I need to..."She waved dismissively. "I'm going to hit the sack. You should too."Debra walked off, and Marion closed the door for him.Drake lunged forward, but Kale held him back."Boss, your injuries..." "Screw the injuries. Let me at him."Marion opened the door, deadpan. "Don't like it closed? I'll leave it open.""Damn..." Kale clamped a hand over Drake's mouth.It was not wise to fight Marion there at the Potter Mansion. Besides, they hadn't gotten the Lowe Group back.Back in their room, Debra smirked at Marion. "Thought you weren't worried. Why eavesdrop?"Marion pulled her close. "How could I not worry?""Then why let me talk to him alone?" She tilted her head. "I know you're jealous."He pressed his lips together. "I don't want to restrain your freedom. It was just a talk. He couldn't steal

"What's the fuss?" Debra said.Drake hesitated. "I..." Outside, Erica and Randy shoved past Kale, ducking behind Marion.Kale initially tried to block them but retreated under Marion's icy glare.Inside, Drake noticed the door was slightly ajar. He scowled. "Hold on."Before Debra could react, he yanked the door open, exposing the three eavesdroppers.Debra raised an eyebrow. 'Really?'Erica cringed, looking at Randy. Randy pointed at Marion, and Marion blinked innocently.Debra smiled at them, slammed the door shut, and locked it.Randy gaped. "Did you hear that? She locked us out."Marion's jaw tightened."Let's go." Erica dragged Randy down the hall.Inside the room, Debra muttered, "We're alone now. Spit it out."Drake silently stared at her, and she shifted uncomfortably. "Do you have things to say or not?"Drake awkwardly cleared his throat. "Do you know Fermin likes you?"Debra barely flinched. "Yeah. Why?""You know?" Drake looked like his brain short-circuite

Everyone snapped to attention, flipping through the records. But the entries were pretty much the same—lists of expenses for rice, oil, flour, and other mundane supplies."Any maps or codes?" Randy scratched his head.Erica smacked the ledger. "Nothing. Just numbers and grocery lists."Debra traced a column of figures. "Right, numbers!"Erica was puzzled. "Numbers? How's that a treasure map?"Randy muttered, "Could it be that we've been thinking in the wrong direction? Maybe this isn't a treasure map after all?"Erica echoed, "Could it really be, like the elders said, just an account book that we've somehow turned into a myth?"As the group agonized, Drake finally snapped. "Debra, we need to talk.""Hm? About what?""Let's talk outside.""Can't say it here?""Outside." Drake stormed out. Debra sighed, turning to Marion. "Can I?"Erica and Randy glanced at him nervously.Marion nodded. "Go ahead."Erica and Randy gaped. 'No jealousy?' The second Debra left, Erica hiss
