Chapter 104

“Something’s up?” Debra asked, taking her seat.

“Yeah.”

“Is it about me?”

“Well,” Jordan faltered, “this morning, my brother mentioned some trouble with the Nichols family. It’s insider info, and you probably don’t know yet.”

“So, you came all the way to school just to gossip about this?”

Jordan blushed a little, turning his head away. “Don’t get me wrong. I just wanted to get some info from

you

“I probably know less than you do,” Debra said, dropping the teasing. “What exactly happened?”

“It’s internal news. Some shady financial records leaked from the Nichols family, causing several funding chains to break. All cooperation with overseas institutions has been halted. Soon, they will face inquiries. That’s a lot of money they’re going to lose,” Jordan revealed.

The mention of overseas institutions made Debra think of Marion.

He was the only person capable of doing such a thing.

“Do you know who did it?” Jordan tried to read Debra’s expression.

I

Raising an eyebrow, Debra replied, “If I knew, I wouldn’t be the last one in class to hear about it.”

Ironically, despite being Juan’s wife, she was often the last to get the news about the Nichols family.

“A while ago, I saw you and Juan on TV, showing a happy couple image. How come he didn’t tell you about the trouble?” Jordan’s tone carried a hint of jealousy.

“You know it was just for show. When have you ever seen us deeply in love?” Debra retorted.

“Just that time…” Jordan hesitated, recalling when Debra fainted and Juan carried her away. He decided

not to bring it up.

Frowning, Debra asked, “Which time?”

“I gave you such important news. How are you planning to thank me?” Jordan changed the topic.

“I’ll treat you to lunch,” Debra said, pulling out a card. “I’ve got money now.”

Apart from their class, hardly anyone at school knew she was Juan’s wife, and she had always kept a low profile to avoid attracting attention.

After all, their circle was quite small, and news spread fast. If Melody discovered she was attending Arcane Academy, it could spell trouble.

Jordan led her to the most expensive restaurant at the school and made a grand entrance, as if he wanted to show everyone that he was dining with Juan’s wife.

“Why that look, afraid of the high price?” Jordan teased her.

That was not Debra’s concern, but the diners there were basically all from their circle. This would undoubtedly lead to their gossip.

“Actually, next door isn’t bad, and it’s more economical. Why don’t we…”

“Shut up, let’s go in!” Jordan pulled Debra into the restaurant.

As she stepped in, she immediately noticed a familiar figure.

Shelia sat conspicuously in the restaurant, accompanied by Carrie and Wendy.

Carrie and Wendy saw Debra, but they were no longer full of hostility.

Unaware of Debra’s confusion, Jordan led her to take their seats and then order food.
