Chapter 94
Debra walked away without looking back. Shelia tugged on Juan’s sleeve and said, “Those were just her angry words. Don’t be upset.”
Juan quietly pulled his hand away.
Shelia looked at her empty hand, stunned.
Juan said flatly, “There are things for me to do at the company. You stay at home and study. Tell Sophie if you need anything.”
“Juan…” Shella tried to stop Juan, but he had already left.
Sophie, who was cleaning the floor, snorted at Shelia’s actions. The couple has just had a spat, yet Shelia fancies herself the hostess of this house.”
Shelia’s pride was injured by Sophie’s expression.
Debra returned to the apartment opposite the school, where she and Erica had gone that morning.
Erica was excited. “You proposed a divorce to Juan? Did he agree?”
Debra recalled it and said, “He didn’t say anything.”
“Silence is acquiescence. I’ll have my lawyer draft the divorce papers right away. We’ll take a chunk of his fortune and kick that scumbag to the curb,” Erica said enthusiastically, eager to drag Debra to the law firm right away.
Debra shook her head. “It won’t be that easy.”
“Why not?” Erica asked, puzzled.
Debra explained, “If he wanted, he would’ve divorced me long ago rather than waiting for me to bring it up.
“That’s true,” Erica said. “So…”
“It’s a marriage of convenience. Our families have too many intertwined interests. Neither can afford to split. Plus, Melody has always liked me as her granddaughter–in–law. She would never let Juan divorce me Just because of Shelia.”
Debra understood this well. That was why she had mentioned divorce in front of Sophie.
Sophie used to serve Melody, and they were close. Sophie would definitely recount the event to her.
Then Shelia would replace it difficult to continue staying in the Nichols family’s house.
Erica quickly caught on. “But living with a man like that is frustrating!”
Debra said, “Don’t worry. Our marriage won’t last another six months.”
“How so?” Erica asked wonderingly.
Debra explained, “The one thing holding back our divorce is the shared interests of our families. Once my family no longer needs them, we’ll kick them out.”

“Easier said than done. Untangling those interests isn’t simple. Besides, everyone knows your family’s just a shell now. Without Juan’s backing, it could collapse in a few years.”
Debra was surprised that even Erica could see the Frazier family’s dire situation.
So, Juan must be even more aware.
In her previous life, Juan married her, stole the Frazier family’s connections and projects accumulated over the years, and then ruthlessly kicked them out.
Finally, he crushed the Frazier family to the last inch.
Debra smiled bitterly.
In this life, she wouldn’t wait for Juan to drain the Frazier family. Rather, she would strike first.
