“He is very crafty. At first, I thought it was our competitors, but these past few days, many investors have withdrawn their investments. No matter how many social events I attend, I can’t keep them. Finally, I caught someone and confronted him. He revealed that Juan had warned everyone against investing in my company,” Erica spluttered.
Debra was shocked by the news.
She was aware of Juan’s capabilities, but she hadn’t expected him to go this far for Shelia.
Although Erica was from the Mathis family, she was also Caleb’s granddaughter.
Going against the Mathis family was equivalent to offending Caleb. Juan couldn’t be so foolish as to target Erica.
“Don’t worry. I’ll handle this,” Debra said before hanging up the phone.
She hadn’t intended to do anything drastic to Juan and Shelia. But now, seeing how Juan had no plans to spare Erica, she felt she had been too lenient.
If Juan showed no mercy, she wouldn’t either.
