Chapter 167

“I went to the bathroom,” Debra replied.

Jordan’s cheeks flushed slightly, and he quickly turned away. “Let’s go. There’s nothing more to do here.”

“Alright, I’m bored too,” she quickly agreed.

Jordan led them to leave. Erica winked at Randy, who got the signal and left the dance floor.

Just as they stepped outside, Debra’s phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and raised an eyebrow. That’s quick,’ she thought, recognizing Joe’s number.

Erica asked, “Is it Juan looking for you?”

The mention of Juan’s name caused Jordan’s expression to darken. Before Debra could react, he snatched the phone from her hand. “Don’t answer it!” he declared, his voice filled with annoyance.

“Knock it off, Jordan. Give it back,” Debra said, reaching for the phone.

Jordan answered the call, barking, “Debra is with me! Stop calling!”

Both Debra and Erica were stunned. He hung up and handed the phone. to her awkwardly.

Debra took the phone, her expression dazed. She had planned to make Juan believe she was celebrating Jordan’s birthday, but she hadn’t expected Jordan to reveal it so bluntly.

Enca stuttered, “Aren’t you afraid Juan will cause you trouble?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? If anything comes up, I’ll take care of it.” He paused and added, “I mean, my brother will take care of it. Juan wouldn’t dare challenge him.”

Enca shook her head. ‘Men are foolish when they are in love. In this aspect, Jordan is just like Marion.”

Joe stared at the disconnected phone, his expression grim. Juan rubbed his temples wearily and asked, “Where is she?”

“Mrs. Nichols…”

“Spill it!”

“It was Jordan who answered the call, saying Mrs. Nichols was with him and asking me not to call again.”

Juan’s eyes snapped open, a dangerous glint flickering in their depths. ” Debra is still at the Potter’s?”

Joe replied, “According to our people, Mrs. Nichols hasn’t left the house. She should still be at the Potter’s.”

Juan’s voice rose, his anger palpable. “It’s been a day. Does she want to stay there permanently?”

Joe suggested cautiously, “Should we go and bring Mrs. Nichols back? Regarding what happened at the banquet yesterday, Mrs. Nichols did nothing wrong. Miss Miles lied, and you blamed Mrs. Nichols. We should bring her back.”

Juan’s expression darkened, his voice sullen. “Did nothing wrong? She came over and defended Jordan. She even teamed up with those outsiders against me. Does she still consider me her husband? Does she still see herself as Mrs. Nichols?”

Joe was scared into silence.

Juan continued sullenly, “Send someone to bring her back now. If she refuses, she doesn’t need to come back ever.”

Joe was torn. “Sir…”

Juan’s expression hardened, his voice unyielding. Didn’t you hear what I said if she doesn’t want to be Mrs Nichols, there are plenty of people who doc

Joe bowed his head in resignation. Okay, I’ll arrange for Mrs. Nichols to be brought back.

As midnight approached, Debra returned to the Potters‘ residence, removing her makeup and changing her clothes. The birthday party was still in full swing, and no one showed any signs of leaving.
