Chapter 326

“Madam, Michael has agreed,” Ben reported.

Debra waved her phone. “I already knew.” She turned the screen toward Ben, revealing a message from Michael: [Leave it to me.]

Ben, though puzzled, swiftly moved on. “The Nichols Group has sent an invitation for dinner tomorrow night. They request the presence of Frazier Entertainment’s top management at the collaboration dinner.”

Debra nodded indifferently. “Let me see the invitation.”

Ben forwarded it. Debra glanced at the seal, recognizing Juan’s insignia. “Who else is invited?”

“All the senior staff from both Frazier Entertainment and Nichols Entertainment, and the media.”

Debra sneered, knowing Juan’s intentions. He liked to manipulate public opinion. By inviting the media, he was broadcasting his plans.

Ben hesitated. “Madam, perhaps you should skip this one.”

Debra was undeterred. “No, if he wants me there, I’ll go.”

“But the media…” Everyone knew about Debra and Juan’s divorce. Their meeting might stir a media storm, and Ben was genuinely concerned.

“Since he wants hype, we’ll help him. But it’s not the kind of hype he’s hoping for.” Debra’s eyes gleamed with mischief. Ben understood.

“Okay, I’ll make arrangements.”

As dusk fell, Debra donned a golden gown that accentuated her elegance and poise.

Michael arrived to pick her up. Even though he had seen her dressed up before, he was still struck by her beauty.

“Do I look good?” Debra asked, twirling gracefully.

Michael smiled slightly. “You look great.” Since it was a formal event, Michael wore a white suit that made him look like a prince from a modern-day fairy tale. He opened the car door for Debra with a gentlemanly flourish, and she slid into the back seat while Michael took his place beside her.

“I know what you’re planning. Don’t worry, I’ll help you,” Michael assured her.

Debra looked at him, noting the mature man he had become. It was a far cry from the struggling young graduate she first met. Thinking back to her previous life, where Michael was overlooked and struggled for years, her heart ached. She had pursued her ambitions, neglecting her responsibilities to the Frazier Group, which ultimately led to their downfall and her own loss. This time, she vowed not to repeat the same mistakes. She was determined to make amends to Michael and ensure the Frazier Group thrived under her leadership.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Michael noticed her gaze. From the very first time they met, Debra’s eyes held a trace of sadness, as if she could see through the entirety of his life.

Debra replied softly, “I’m just struck by how much you’ve changed in such a short time. It’s quite moving.”
