Chapter 452

Cathryn watched with bated breath as Freya held the knife, anticipating the moment she would stab Debra.

But to her dismay, Freya’s hand dropped. The instant Freya ceased her threat, security guards stormed in, seizing her and pulling her away from Debra.

Debra took two hurried steps back, and Juan rushed over to check on her. His gaze lingered on a red mark marring her collarbone.

He froze, and Debra adjusted her clothes. “I’m fine. Thank you, Mr. Nichols.”

She pulled away from him.

Cathryn was disappointed, her eyes fixed on Freya. She couldn’t comprehend why Freya hadn’t followed through with their plan.

Freya, in turn, shot Cathryn a cold, knowing look. A hint of panic flickered across Cathryn’s face as she realized the potential consequences if Freya ratted her out.

Even if her words were seen as false accusations, they might alert Debra.

“Mr. Nichols, what should we do with her?” one of the security guards asked.

Juan replied sternly, “Take her away and send her to the police station.”

“Wait!” Debra interjected. “Leave her here. I want to question her later.”

Her gaze flicked to Cathryn, who panicked instantly. It convinced her that Debra had seen through her plan.

“Okay.” Juan nodded, instructing the security guards to take Freya backstage.

Cathryn, despite her nervousness, went over to grab Debra’s hand. She asked with feigned concern, “Mrs. Nichols, are you alright? Did you get hurt?”

Debra looked down and pulled her hand away. “Thank you for your concern, Miss Bernard. I’m fine.”

“Come with me,” Juan said, leading Debra to leave.

Edgar, who had been observing the scene from a distance, frowned deeply.

His secretary approached him, asking, “Sir, the shooting is interrupted. Should we go back?”

Given the commotion, it was clear that filming for the day was over.

Edgar took a deep breath. “Investigate this. I need results by tonight.”

“Yes, sir.”

Juan escorted Debra to an empty corridor. Debra asked directly, “Is there something you need to discuss with me?”

“Why did you suddenly ask me to withdraw the investment yesterday at noon?”

“You don’t know why, but you still withdrew it.”

Debra looked away from his serious face, her voice barely above a whisper. “I just thought the program might incur losses, so I suggested withdrawing in time. There’s no other meaning.”

Juan said affirmatively, “You knew about today’s events beforehand, didn’t you?”

A slight smile played at the corners of Debra’s mouth. “You can speculate as you like.”

“Can’t you be honest with me?” Juan reached out and gently lifted Debra’s collar, revealing the prominent red mark on her neck. As a man, he knew what it was.

Debra frowned and pulled her collar up, saying, “If there is nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”

“Is it Marion?” Juan asked, his voice almost a growl.
