Chapter 198

“The McKinney Group is clearly trying to take a piece of our cake. Why don’t we resort to extreme measures?” The directors whispered to each other. Unable to confront the McKinney Group openly, they resorted to underhanded tactics behind the scenes. In the past, Juan might have readily agreed without hesitation. But now, Juan fell silent.

That evening, driven by intuition and alcohol, he visited the McKinney Group and encountered Debra. Could Debra truly be connected to the McKinney Group? Or perhaps, is there a connection between Debra and Tracy? Rubbing his temples wearily, Juan sighed, “I have matters to attend to. Let’s discuss this later.” With that, he got up and left. Beside him, Joe suggested, “Mr. Nichols, how about taking a sobering pill first?” After consuming a fair amount of alcohol the previous night, Juan’s state of mind was visibly off.

“I tasked you with investigating Tracy. Have you found anything?”

“Not yet. His information is well hidden. I’ve exhausted all my contacts but still haven’t uncovered any personal details about Tracy.”

“What about Shelia?”

“Well, she went to Tyson Enterprises alone and was personally received by the general manager. Ms. Miles is not Mrs. Nichols’s immediate superior.”

Joe didn’t elaborate further, but Juan understood everything.

Back when he accompanied Shelia to various events, all the big bosses knew her. It seemed Liam regarded Shelia as his woman.

Joe asked, “Mr. Nichols, should we have Liam dismiss Ms. Miles?”

“No need,” Juan replied calmly. “From now on, I won’t meddle in Shelia’s affairs.”

“Understood.”

“Get the car ready. I’ll go to see Debra.”

“To Tyson Enterprises?” Joe hesitated. Wouldn’t that mean encountering Ms. Miles as well?

“There are some questions I need to ask her myself.”

At Tyson Enterprises, Debra was sipping the milk tea Michael had brought her on set. While Michael ostensibly had her assist as an assistant, she didn’t really do much, just idling around. As Michael filmed, he smiled at her. Debra made a face, making Michael grin even wider. At that moment, Carole stood outside and frowned. “Debra, someone is looking for you outside.”

Debra stood up, adjusting her appearance. Curious about who would come to her workplace during the day, she saw her female colleagues standing up and peering outside at the newcomer.

Liam, alongside Juan, patiently said, “Mr. Nichols, the recent collaborative project has been performing well in the market. It would be our pleasure if you could come.” Juan had been distracted until he laid eyes on Debra; then his gaze softened.

Carole interjected, “Mr. Tyson, Mr. Nichols, she has arrived. This is Debra.” Debra frowned, surprised that Juan had found his way to her workplace.

“Get a quiet meeting room ready. I need to have a private talk with Debra.”

“Of course, I’ll have it prepared right away!” Liam quickly instructed Carole to make arrangements, while Carole shot a disdainful and jealous look at Debra. Glancing at Debra and then at Juan, Liam asked, “Mr. Nichols, what else can I do for you?”
