Chapter 206

Shelia stood rooted to the spot, her mind reeling in disbelief. In her mind, Debra was just a pampered lady with no substance. Yet, they let Debra lead the entire Frazier family.

“This is impossible! You must be mistaken!” Shelia exclaimed.

Liam remained adamant. “Miss Miles, why would I lie to you? This matter has already spread within our circles. I might risk offending the owner of Frazier Entertainment, but I can’t afford to offend the boss of Frazier Group.”

His words hit Shelia like a physical blow, draining her of all strength. She wondered if they had let Debra take over under Juan’s suggestion. She clenched her fists. Debra, with her privileged background, could rely on Juan and the Frazier family to secure the top position at Frazier Group, despite her lack of knowledge. Why? I’ve studied so hard for years only to end up in such a dire situation.

“Miss Miles, I hope you can understand,” Liam said.

Despite her unwillingness, Shelia knew she had no choice but to leave, her heart heavy with resentment.

In the office area, the employees who had previously fawned over Shelia were now gathered around Debra, placing snacks on her desk in a show of allegiance.

“Debra, we were blind before. Please don’t take it to heart.”

“Yeah, I admire you very much, but Shelia and Carole wouldn’t let us talk to you.”

“Debra, you’re so beautiful. How could Mr. Nichols be so blind to choose Shelia over you?”

Debra remained indifferent to their fawning, aware of the fickle nature of workplace politics. As she looked up, she caught sight of Shelia emerging from Liam’s office, her face a mask of grim determination. Debra leaned back in her chair, a small smile playing on her lips as she enjoyed the sight of Shelia’s dark expression.

“M–Miss Miles!” Several female employees exclaimed, startled by Shelia’s sudden appearance. They quickly retreated, not wanting to be caught in the crossfire between Debra and Shelia.

Shelia glared at Debra, her voice filled with bitterness. “Are you satisfied now that I’ve been fired?”

Debra smiled, her voice calm and collected. “Your dismissal might be due to your incompetence, but what does it have to do with me?”

Shelia’s eyes flashed with anger. “Debra, you took over the Frazier family only because of Juan. What makes you think you can judge me? Wait and see. I will prove to you that I earned my position through real ability.”

With that, she turned on her heel and left.

Debra found her words laughable. Everything Shelia had achieved was given to her by Juan. She had never earned anything through her capabilities. Even her study at Arcane Academy was an opportunity provided by Juan. Otherwise, they would never have admitted someone of Shelia’s background. Yet she had the nerve to boast in front of Debra.

Juan received a call from Liam, who apologized profusely. Juan listened impatiently, his voice cold as he demanded, “Just tell me what happened.”

Liam stammered as he recounted the day’s events. “Mr. Nichols, I didn’t know that Mrs. Nichols would come to our company for an internship. I had to dismiss Miss Miles.”

Juan cut him off, his voice devoid of emotion. “It’s fine. She is not qualified for Tyson Enterprises anyway.” He had no desire to discuss Shelia any further, and Liam was stunned.
