Chapter 341

As Debra settled into her seat, Andrew slid a cup of instant coffee toward her. She glanced at the steaming cup and raised an eyebrow. “Wow, you really have it.”

Andrew took his seat across from her and began meticulously brewing his tea, seemingly uninterested in discussing the commotion downstairs. Debra, however, couldn't contain her curiosity. “Mr. Andrew Potter, you mentioned a disturbance downstairs. Was it caused by Shelia?”

The Emerald Hotel was owned by the Potter family, and no one dared cause trouble within its walls. Shelia, not being part of their elite circle, was an exception to this unspoken rule. If an ordinary person had caused a scene, the hotel would have handled it discreetly. But Shelia was now practically a member of the Nichols family, and she was carrying Juan's child, which made it a different matter entirely. Any repercussions would likely fall on the Nichols family.

“Shelia…” Andrew mused. “I don’t remember that name.”

“You don’t?” Debra was taken aback. In their circle, news of Juan and Shelia’s affair was widespread. It seemed impossible that Andrew could have forgotten her, especially since he had witnessed Shelia’s outburst against Jordan firsthand.

Noticing Debra’s surprise, Andrew casually explained, “I don’t bother remembering trivial people. They don’t affect me. Are you going to waste your energy remembering an insignificant person?”

Debra understood his perspective. To Andrew, Shelia was little more than an ant. Even if she caused a massive disturbance, it wouldn’t shake Andrew’s composure.

Just as the conversation lulled, Debra’s phone buzzed with a news alert. She glanced at the screen and saw a shocking headline: “[Mistress Causes a Scene at Hotel, Slapping the Wife.]” Intrigued, she clicked on the link and saw an animated picture. Although blurry, it was clear enough to make out the actions of the three people involved: Shelia slapping Jordan, and Juan stepping in to stop her. Despite being only a few seconds long and in slow motion, it conveyed what had happened. The comments section was already filled with speculation and outrage. Examples included: “[I know this one. Mr. Nichols’ lover is pregnant and forcing his wife to divorce.]” “[I was there today. How dare she cause a scene at the hotel?]” “[Fun fact: Mrs. Nichols’ kidnapping is related to this mistress.]”

In no time, several videos of Shelia’s outburst at the Emerald Hotel were circulating. Debra remembered that the guests likely hadn’t taken any photos. She turned to look at Andrew. “Was this your doing?” She couldn’t think of anyone else who could have orchestrated this so quickly and efficiently. Andrew had mentioned earlier that his people were handling things, and this seemed to be the result. In less than half an hour, the news had skyrocketed to the top of the trending charts.
